Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 49: Ch 49: Inside The Corpse Pyramid

Emrys had a feeling that the shadowy figure could help him avoid some dangerous traps that might be waiting for him inside.

"The Darkborne Family is truly evil. Other than several large coffins, there are two small pools. One is a pool of liquified Soul Force that is extremely pure. As for the second pool, it is filled with blood. Both of these were not naturally formed pools, but something created by the Darkborne Family by killing countless people and using sinister methods to forcefully extract their blood and Soul Force, cultivating these two pools."

The shadowy figure snorted coldly, surprising Emrys.

Just as the shadowy figure said, the method used by the Darkborne Family is indeed sinister.

But, the question is, why were these two pools created in the first place?

The shadowy figure darted a look at Emrys and said, "If you could absorb every bit of Soul Force stored in the first pool, no matter how useless your Soul Mark might be, you can definitely break through continuously and become a Silver Soul Master. You should take advantage of this opportunity and improve as much as possible."

"However, be aware that the instant you enter the Corpse Pyramid, the secret mechanism set there will be triggered, and the Darkborne Family will be notified that someone has infiltrated this place. They\'ll rush over to kill you. So, from the moment you enter the Corpse Pyramid, you will have very little time to absorb the liquified Soul Force from the pool."

Emrys nodded solemnly. He understood that the risk was rather high.

Nevertheless, if he could truly improve to the point where advancing to Silver Soul Master would not be a problem, then taking this kind of risk was worth it.

"What about the other pool?" Emrys asked curiously.

"You mean the pool of blood?"

Although Emrys could not see the shadowy figure\'s facial features or expressions, he could tell that it had become very serious. It said, "I don\'t know what the Darkborne Family is planning, but they are using the pool of blood to nurture the corpses placed inside the large coffins. You should ignore the coffins if you don\'t want to die."

Emrys did not ask anything further. Asking more would not benefit him. He just noted down the things that could help him.

First, he needed to absorb as much liquified Soul Force as possible within the limited time. Then, when the members of the Darkborne Family come looking for him, he should escape immediately by shifting his location with a Node.

Second, he should stay away from the Pool of Blood and the large coffins. They might throw him into the well of dangers that would result in his death.

As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat.

Although he was curious, he decided to stay put and try to avoid putting himself in danger.

Emrys took a deep breath and started circling around the Corpse Pyramid. After circling the Corpse Pyramid once, Emrys took a deep breath and finally stepped inside the pyramid.

The instant he stepped inside, his eyes blurred. He was unable to see or feel anything. A few seconds later, everything before his eyes cleared. He was surprised to find that, unlike his guess, he was not standing in a grand hall but in front of a huge tunnel.

Emrys glanced at the tunnel curiously. Although he was in a hurry, he did not take any rush action. He first checked the surroundings again before entering the tunnel.

The tunnel was not like a long hole dug into the ground, it was more like a spacious path that stretched out endlessly. After entering it, Emrys was surprised to see numerous coffins floating in the air. Each coffin was tied together by a connecting chain. The coffins were like ordinary objects, but the chains connecting them were covered in dark foggy energy. This energy gave Emrys a very bad feeling.

Although this made him feel terrible, Emrys had already prepared himself mentally for it. Thus, without panicking, he began to walk deeper into the tunnel, intending to find the two ponds that the shadowy figure had talked about before.

As he walked deeper into the tunnel, he discovered more and more coffins all over the place. The tunnel was way too spacious to be called just a \'tunnel\', it was more like an underground giant pathway. On the ceiling, in mid-air, on the ground, one can see coffins everywhere their sight could go.

Emrys took a deep breath and continued to walk. As he was walking, he began to feel a little chilly. It felt as though a gust of evil wind was blowing around him. The floating coffins shook slightly, creaking noisily which startled Emrys for a second. He stopped walking and cautiously looked around. He started walking deeper again only after confirming that nothing dangerous was going to happen anytime soon, at least not inside the tunnel.

Shortly thereafter, he saw an even larger area ahead of him. It marked the end of the tunnel, which expanded into a much more spacious chamber.

However, as Emrys arrived at the border between the tunnel and the spacious chamber, he shivered slightly, feeling that the place was just too bizarre. It was just a subconscious action.

Surprisingly, he could not see anything inside the spacious chamber even though he was standing just a step away from it.

Taking a deep breath, he finally took this step. A light flashed brilliantly, forcing him to close his eyes. When he reopened his eyes, a gigantic blood-red coffin caught his attention.

"This is truly terrible!" Emrys shivered again and muttered. For some reason, a deep fear knocked the gate of his heart. He had a feeling that if he dared to do anything foolish, he would have to face a situation that could not be explained by common sense.

This spacious chamber was just like the wide tunnel. Coffins could be seen everywhere, floating in the air, on the surface of the ground, and some were even buried underground. He can say some were buried underground because several dark foggy chains could be seen pierced into the ground.

However, the most eye-catching among all was the gigantic blood-red coffin floating above a small pool of red liquid.

This was the pool of blood that the shadowy figure talked about previously, and the giant blood-red coffin was the only coffin floating above this blood pool.
