Just like that, a bright blue-colored Soul Orb appeared in Emrys's hand. He could feel a dense amount of extremely pure Soul Power inside the Soul Orb, capable of nurturing his Soul Mark. However, he did not feel much joy at all. Instead, he felt like crying.
To evolve the Ordinary Blue Soul Orb into a Mythical-level Blue Soul Orb, Emrys actually spent 201,600 Soul Points. Adding the Soul Points he spent to evolve the Elite-level Green Soul Orb into a Mythical-level Green Soul Orb, which was 3,000 Soul Points, and the Mythical-level Green Soul Orb into an Ordinary Blue Soul Orb, which was 3,200, the total amount of Soul Points spent by Emrys this time was actually 204,600, which was an enormous number.
After extracting all the liquified Soul Force from the pond, Emrys obtained 254,200 Soul Points. But now, in such a short period of time, he spent 204,600 Soul Points, leaving him with only a meager amount of 49,600 Soul Points.
It has to be known that if he had started with an Ordinary Blue Soul Orb, he would have only needed to spend 31,000 Soul Points. But now, he ended up spending 204,600 Soul Points. It was indeed a huge loss.
No wonder Emrys felt heartache just thinking about this.
Exhaling deeply and calming his heart, he immediately started nurturing his Soul Mark using the Mythical-leveled Blue Soul Orb.
On the other hand, a voice unheard by Emrys rang in the surroundings.
"He finally used up a drop of Soul Essence."
.....
"Sir Yor, what is happening? Why can't we enter the Corpse Pyramid?"
Outside the Corpse Pyramid, a group of people stood with anxious and worried faces. Surprisingly, they were all Silver Soul Masters. Among them, only two were at the Advanced Level: Yor Darkborne and Malachi Darkborne.
If Emrys were here, he would have been shocked to see that the entrance of the Corpse Pyramid had disappeared completely. No matter how hard people searched, they couldn't find the entrance at all.
Even the shadowy figure was helpless. The sudden disappearance of the entrance surprised even him.
"Malachi, what should we do?" Yor looked at Malachi and asked.
Malachi was trying to maintain his composure, but fury and irritation were still clearly visible in his eyes. He cursed inwardly and said, "We must find the entrance. I don't know how this happened, but it must be somehow related to that invader. We don't know what he's doing inside, but it's definitely not good for us. There are several important things inside the Corpse Pyramid, and we cannot afford to lose any of them. Most importantly, the Blood Coffin... that invader bastard better stay far away from the coffin, or I will tear him into thousands of pieces."
Yor nodded. He understood the gravity of the current situation. They could not afford to have anything messed up inside the Corpse Pyramid.
"Continue looking for the entrance."
Yor shouted loudly and joined the other Soul Masters as well.
.....
Screach~
About two hours later, the cry of a bird echoed inside the pyramid. A giant blue-feathered bird flew out of Emrys's body. At first glance, it looked extremely beautiful, but on the second glance, this bird appeared terrifying. Its soft feather suddenly became crystal-hard, and brilliant light overwhelmed the entire spacious chamber.
This was the Void Phoenix.
After a few seconds, as the brilliant light died down, the Void Phoenix returned inside Emrys's body.
However, for a second, Emrys felt that the Void Phoenix had observed him closely. It was as if the Void Phoenix had intelligence.
How is this possible?
It must be my illusion!
Emrys shook his head and no longer thought about this. He simply focused on his information panel.
.....

.....
There wasn't much of a change in the information panel, but Emrys knew the real change was significant.
First of all, he felt a pang of heartache when he saw the remaining amount of Soul Points.
However, his expression quickly shifted from heartache to joy when he checked the information about his Soul Mark. His mastery over the Origin Skill, Node Shift, had advanced from Foundational to Proficient. Although he could still use this ability only five times a day, the distance he could shift had increased from 200 meters to 500 meters.
Most importantly, he awakened a second Origin Skill, the Spatial Blade. Unfortunately, he couldn't use this skill often because it required him to manipulate spatial-attributed energy to form a blade for attacks. Currently, he is unable to manipulate this energy. Additionally, despite his veins being strengthened by the space-attributed energy, he didn't have a single trace of it left in his body.
The Spatial Blade skill was at the introductory level, just like Node Shift had been when he first obtained it from the Void Phoenix due to his Soul Mark.
"However, the attack power of the spatial blade will increase by 30% due to the talent I obtained from my Soul Mark."
Emrys muttered and then thought that he had to attract the space-attributed energy from the void and strengthen his body continuously. For now, he only has this way to obtain the power to manipulate the space-attributed energy.
Talking about manipulating the space-attributed energy, an idea suddenly appeared in Emrys's mind. He can try to attract the space-attributed energy from the void with the help of his Soul Mark, the Walker of the Blue Sky, and instead of using this energy to strengthen his body, he might as well try to form a spatial blade.
If that is really possible, he can try out his second Origin Skill's power a bit early.
However, he can only think of this idea for now. He cannot test this theory because he does not have much time left.
