Chapter 40: Ch 40: A Small Breakthrough

While the crowd was shocked and panicked, the Multicolored Orb hidden deep within Emrys's soul exploded with a bright light.

"Ugh!"

Emrys felt something, but before he could understand, he found himself standing inside a spacious hall. The entire hall was filled with all kinds of materials and pieces of equipment.

In the middle of the house, an old man was working on a lion's statue. It was not a complete statue, but only a lion's head.

"This is... Lion Falls!"

Emrys was astonished. It did not take long for him to understand his current status. He guessed that he must be witnessing something that happened in the past, and the reason he was able to see this was due to the Multicolored Orb.

"Yes, I did it!"

The old man suddenly erupted in excitement, his voice echoing with a touch of madness. He laughed uncontrollably before muttering, "In the end, it took me ten years to figure out how this works. I've concealed a fragment of Soulstar Crystal within the Lion Falls. It's better to have an outsider benefit from the Soulstar Crystal than to allow those bastards to snatch it from me. I hope that someone capable of sensing Soulstar Energy appears. That way, the fragment of Soulstar Crystal won't be wasted at least."

This was some kind of memory that Emrys had just witnessed. As the memory ended, Emrys found himself back on top of the twelfth pillar. To be honest, he was completely shaken. He never expected to witness something so unexpected.

While Emrys was still in a daze, he felt warmth rising inside his body. Moments later, a faint and fierce light wrapped itself on his body. At the same time, a powerful momentum exploded from his body, attracting everyone's attention.

"Look at Number 17. I think he is about to break through."

"Yes, you are right. Could it be that the twelfth pillar is different from other pillars? Is the strange rhythm still there, helping Number 17 break through?"

"Perhaps you didn't notice, but why is his breakthrough different from others?"

Soon, Emrys's attention was drawn to an approaching army of powerful individuals in the distance. Their hurried steps hinted at urgency. Emrys frowned, sensing that these people were all formidable Silver Soul Masters.

As if he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed. The next moment, he disappeared from the top of the twelfth pillar and reappeared behind Rohan and Cairo silently.

No one noticed his reappearance because he was too fast. The instant he appeared behind Rohan and Cairo, he grabbed their shoulders and disappeared once again.

"He... He disappeared?"

Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo's disappearance was noticed by everyone very soon. They were all surprised and confused as well.

"No one moves!"

A roar echoed in the air, shaking everyone to their core. More than ten Silver Soul Masters arrived at the scene. Surprisingly, leading them was just a weak Bronze Soul Master, a Ghost Reaper.

"Where is Number 17?"

When Yor arrived at the scene, he felt that something was very wrong. No one was cultivating. All Ghost Reapers were standing there in a daze. But that was not important at the moment, so he asked for Number 17.

"Sir... Sir Yor, he disappeared!"

Pa~

Someone stepped out and said, only to be sent flying by Yor's slap.

"What happened here? Tell me in detail. Tell me where Number 17 has gone." Yor asked, fuming in anger. With his strength, it was very easy for him to scan the crowd. He easily discovered that Number 18 and 19 were also absent, however, he did not ask for them because he believed the two of them must be together with Number 17.

Not willing to incur Yor Darkborne's wrath, someone quickly stepped forward to explain the situation in detail.
