Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 407 - Flipping The Odds

Since the bloodline crystal was formed from the beast core of the trunk faced cow along with all of its vitality and spirit qi, Lin Mu was sure that it would be even stronger than that if not the same strength. Xukong had told Lin Mu that the detonation of a spirit core or a beast core could have the same power as that of the attack of a nascent soul realm.

Another aspect of this was that the explosion of a beast or spirit core could cause a large amount of spirit qi waves that could disturb control skills like the one that Gu Yao was using.

But what Lin Mu had done wasnʼt something that could be done carelessly. In fact, no one would have thought that a bloodline crystal could be made to explode like this. A properly refined bloodline Crystal was far too precious to be used as an expendable item like this.

If someone wanted to use it as a bomb, there were far more cheaper alternatives that could be used without much problem and they would not be as dangerous either.

A second Lin Mu reached the area where he had thrown the four men; Wu Hei, Wu Teng, Yi Deng, and the supreme elder. He ate another earthen qi pill and waited for a couple more seconds before deactivating the skill fade and reappearing in the real world.

~rumble~

~crack~

The chamber was still shaking due to the explosion, and cracks were spreading all around. Lin Mu immediately spread his spirit sense around to get an idea of the area and saw a barrier set up where he was standing. Inside the barrier, the supreme elder and the peak master Yi Deng were standing, maintaining the barrier.

The barrier had a multitude of cracks on it and looked like it would break any moment. Yi Deng and the supreme elder were injured as blood dripped out of their mouths and noses. Their clothes were torn in multiple places and the peak masterʼs leg was bent at an awkward angle. It was evident that it was now broken.

Lin Mu looked for the other two people and found them to be in a slightly better condition. Wu Teng was knocked out and his head was bleeding. His ribs seemed to be broken as well at the place where Lin Mu had tackled him in.

Wu Hei was lying on the ground and was conscious. There were some scratches and cuts on his body along with his clothes being tattered, but there was also a blue glow protecting him. The glow was coming from a pendant that he had on his neck.

It had been hidden beneath his clothes all this time, but now it had been revealed due to the explosion.

~Shatter~

But the pendant did not last for long as its energy ran out and it shattered into multiple pieces.

ʼAt least they are alive…ʼ Lin Mu muttered to himself before turning around to look at the main culprit.

The blood pool was now destroyed as the blood had been burned due to the explosion, and the stone borders of the pool had also broken due to the force of the explosion. Lin Mu looked for Gu Yao and saw a sphere made out of blood floating in the air.

He also saw a few body parts lying around the blood pool and quickly identified them. They belonged to none other than the disciples of the Tri cauldron Peony sect Fa Lao and Quan Hong. But there was one person that was missing, Qing Yuan Tiu.

The woman was wearing a different type of clothes and her physique was also different, thus it wouldnʼt have been hard for Lin Mu to identify her remains. But they did not seem to be here. He quickly spread his spirit sense to the full and did a scan of the chamber.

ʼThere she is…ʼ Lin Mu thought to himself after discovering her to be in the opposite direction to where he was.

Looking at Qing Yuan Tiu, Lin Mu saw that she was still alive. The armor that she was wearing had protected her for the most part, but her face was still burned. Large burn wounds could be seen on her head as her hair had melted and stuck to her skull.

Her fingers were also burned badly, and bones could be seen poking from the flesh.

Overall, Lin Mu could tell that there wasnʼt much she could do anymore. But the danger was not over yet, the main culprit was still alive.

”PEAK MASTER, SUPREME ELDER, QUICK!” Lin Mu called them.

The two nascent soul realm men finally snapped out of their reverie and noticed Lin Mu was standing near them. They had fallen into a strange kind of daze and had barely been able to gain control of their bodies. Because they were being restrained before, they werenʼt able to fully defend themselves against the explosion of the bloodline crystal.

Their defensive treasures activated but werenʼt able to last for long. But even then they gritted their teeth and achieved their own defensive technique to defend against the force of the explosion, albeit with injuries.

The supreme elder sprinted flew forward and so did elder Yi Deng reaching Lin Mu. They didnʼt know what to say to Lin Mu now that he had pretty much saved them. But one thing was sure, they could no longer doubt the background of the boy.

Even if he didnʼt have a Master that was beyond the immortal ascension stage, he definitely had someone powerful backing him. There was no way he would be able to have skills such as these otherwise. Surviving an explosion like that with no injuries, breaking out of a seal that even they were unable to from, and even saving them.

None of these feats were something that should have been possible for someone that was in the qi refining realm. They even had a doubt whether the person in front of them really was a boy or it was an old cultivator that had returned to his youth and was now pretending to be a weak cultivator.
