Chapter 67 Ch 67: A Strange Occurrence (1)
Turning around, he saw that all those creatures had already noticed his presence. They were now looking at him with their eerie green eyes.
"Roar!"
All of a sudden, every one of those creatures roared at him and started rushing at him.
Emrys\'s heart trembled. He was able to feel their auras at this moment. Every one of these creatures was stronger than him. They at least had the strength equivalent to an Advanced Secret Silver Soul Master.
Without hesitation, he activated the Node Shift ability and disappeared. Once he reappeared 500 meters away, he activated the Node Shift ability again, moving another 500 meters.
Just like that, within seconds, he was already a kilometer away from those creatures, leaving them utterly confused.
Only now did he heaved a sigh of relief. Looking around, he found that he seemed to have appeared in a place that once used to be a forest. The forest was still there, but it was not filled with lush green trees and vegetation, instead, every small and big plant here was in a petrified state. They appeared to be made of stones.
"Just what is this place?"
Looking around, Emrys muttered with confusion. He was on high alert already, but inside this petrified stone forest, he started paying more attention to the surroundings.
"Roar!"
Despite his caution, another Leopard-shaped creature appeared not far away from him and then it started lunging towards him with killing intent.
"A Beast with strength equivalent to that of a Silver Soul Master!"
Emrys muttered as he felt the beast\'s aura. Then he frowned, "It is very strange!"
He found something very strange about this place. Be it those flaming green creatures or this leopard, he could not tell their strength normally. Only by feeling the aura on their bodies can he gauge their strength. Surprisingly, he can tell even with his eyes closed that these beasts\' souls were extremely weak, not even as powerful as an Elementary Bronze Soul Beast. However, the strength they possessed can still not be underestimated.
"You\'re courting death!"
Feeling the leopard\'s cultivation level, Emrys\'s eyes narrowed. No sooner had the echo of his voice dissipated than he took out the blade and launched a ferocious counterattack.
"Pu!"
Before the blade made contact with the beast\'s body, it glowed with bluish light. This is because Emrys had infused a small amount of his Soul Force in the blade.
In a flash, the blade cloaked in a radiant bluish aura, struck like lightning, piercing the leopard\'s throat and slaying it instantly.
"Heh, I can now even kill an Advanced Silver Soul Beast. A mere Elementary Silver Soul Beast like you are not my match."
Emrys smiled in satisfaction as he observed the dead leopard. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The leopard\'s prowess, particularly its speed and attack, had surpassed most of Elementary Silver Soul Masters. However, it was still not a match for Emrys who was also an Elementary Silver Soul Master, and this fact is given.
Chi~
With a piercing \'Chi\' sound, Emrys ripped open a gash in the back of the leopard\'s carcass, intending to extract the Soul Orb from its body. However, to his surprise, there was no Soul Orb.
"What the...?"
Generally speaking, an Elementary Silver Soul Beast like this leopard must have at least an Ordinary Blue Soul Orb. But this beast was an exception. It had no Soul Orb anywhere inside its body.
"No wonder I felt that its soul is extremely weak. With such a weak soul, how can this beast produce a Soul Orb." Emrys shook his head and confirmed a guess he previously had. Then he again shook his head and muttered, "However, without a Soul Orb, how was it able to rise to the level of an Elementary Silver Soul Beast?"
Just as Emrys was puzzled, the dead body of the leopard suddenly shattered into countless light fragments, shocking him greatly.
Before he could even react, those light fragments rushed towards Emrys and entered his body.
"Boom!"
In that instant, a vast and pure energy surged into Emrys\'s body, which he could feel immediately. This energy was not Soul Force, but an entirely different energy. The energy started to make changes inside his body, slowly making his body stronger.
As the energy integrated into his being, Emrys\'s aura soared, his power growing explosively stronger. His meridians expanded, becoming more robust and resilient. And this was not the end. Emrys could feel something within his body was on the verge of breaking.

Suddenly, he snapped open his eyes, and a sound akin to popping beans echoed from his body.

"Crack!"
In the next instant, Emrys\'s body jolted with a powerful realization. He felt a surge of physical strength like never before. The energy kept changing his body and the cracking sound resounded a total of nine times before stopping.
At the same time, a pale light flashed and a star-shaped pattern appeared at the depth of his pupils. Emrys could not see this star-shaped pattern nor could he feel its existence. However, it was definitely there.
"What just happened?"
Emrys was puzzled. He observed his body and felt that his physical body had been tempered several times by the previous surge of foreign energy. His physical strength has been boosted by at least nine times in total.
"This kind of boost is very different from the nourishment of spatial-attributed energy."
Emrys could tell that this was unlike anything he had ever gone through.
Emrys had used his Soul Mark to attract spatial-attributed energy twice in total. The first time was when he obtained the Sacred Soul Purification Technique, which strengthened his veins and adapted them to the spatial-attributed energy. The second time was this morning. After waking up, he cultivated until noon.
When his body was strengthened by the spatial-attributed energy that was attracted inside him with the help of his Soul Mark, he felt that his body was adapting to the energy rather than directly becoming stronger and tougher.
On the other hand, this foreign energy strengthened his body directly. Just as he was puzzled, he heard the sound of footsteps. These footsteps sounded more like human footsteps.
