Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 423 - Killing The Great Slumber Bear

Lin Mu remembered that Senior Xukong had told him he would give him something that would help him go beyond the body tempering realm a long time ago.

”Senior what was it that you said you were going to give me?” Lin Mu questioned.

”I was going to give you a body cultivation technique, but I think it would be better to wait. You need to kill the Great Slumber bear first.” Xukong replied.

”Yes, Senior. I understand.” Lin Mu replied.

Lin Mu stood up and looked at the sky outside. The moon was just starting to wave and its light could be said to be strong.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and made up his mind before walking towards the end of the cave. He activated the third skill Phase and entered the wall. Quickly passing through, Lin Mu reached the other end and looked at the huge beast that was curled up against the wall, steam coming out of its nose and mouths.

”Hmm… it has indeed recovered more than I expected. Good, that we chose to come right away, or I estimate it would reach the Nascent soul realm by the end of this month…” Xukong spoke.

Lin Mu felt alarmed by this and wondered if he had not been forced to fight Gu Yao, he would have perhaps still been in the Wu Lim city. If everything had gone according to how Wu Hei had planned, Lin Mu would have reached this cave in fifteen more days from now.

Those fifteen more days would have been the difference between life and death. Lin Mu could only think of this as finding a fortune in misfortune.

”Be careful now, you will only have one chance. You need to kill it in a single blow, or it will not give you a second chance.” Xukong warned.

”I understand senior…” Lin Mu replied.

He took another breath before muttering to himself, ”fade…”.

Lin Mu appeared in the parallel world and held out his short sword. He started pouring spirit qi into the short sword, amplifying its power to the maximum he could. But this was not all, Lin Mu started chanting and his body grew by one size, his clothes stretching taut.

Just when he had reached the time limit for Fade, he reappeared in the real world making a low thud. The Great Slumber bear stirred in sleep a little bit but did not react fully. The Aura coming off Lin Muʼs body was like the tides hitting a rocky cliff.

He blinked to the top of the Great Slumber Bearʼs head and thrust the short sword deep into the head of the beast. His entire bodyʼs weight was behind it and was further amplified by the Burning heart sutra.

When the short sword hit the skull of the beast, Lin Mu could feel the impact traveling through the short sword. If he did not have the effect of the burning heart sutra, perhaps he would have even lost hold of the short sword.

The Great Slumber bear had woken up the moment Lin Mu had appeared above its head. His aura was simply too strong to be ignored and even the Great Slumber bear was startled by it. Even when the short sword was half way through its head, it was trying to stand up.

Alas, the power contained within the short sword was still potent and passed through its head, embedding into the rock floor below.

~huu~huu~huu~

Lin Mu took labored breaths as he saw the beast that was on its last breaths. Even now it was letting out breaths and its eyes stared at Lin Mu.

”Itʼs still not dead?!” Lin Mu questioned with shock.

”Its vitality is among the strongest of beasts, even weakened and having its brain pierced with the sword it can stay alive,” Xukong replied.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth as a ruthless expression appeared on his face.

”Then Iʼll just do it again!” Lin Mu said before withdrawing a spear from his ring.

~ROAR!~

The Great Slumber Bearʼs powerful qi stirred as it increased its strength. It was now moving its limbs while its bloody red eyes stared at Lin Mu who had taken out a long spear from his ring.

~Shing~

~Cling~

He pierced the spear through the left paw of the great slumber bear and nailed it to the ground.

”More!” Lin Mu yelled as he took out a long sword.

”GRRRRR!” The Great Slumber bear let out a rumbling noise as spirit qi started to concentrate on its other paw.

”Quick! Itʼs gonna attack!” Xukong wandered.

”Take this!” Lin Mu said before stabbing the long sword through the paw that the beast was trying to attack him with.

~shatter~

The long sword pierced its right paw, but the beast shattered it forcefully. Lin Mu immediately pulled out the pair of slim swords and pierced them in the hole that was created by the long sword.

The beast struggled to pull out the three weapons and was about to use its legs when Lin Mu took out three different kinds of spears from his ring and stabbed them in its left leg in three places. The great slumber Bearʼs heel, ankle and knee were now nailed to the ground.

Lin Mu then took out the battle axe from the ring and slammed its blade into the only free leg of the beast. But this was not enough, as the length of the blade was not enough to keep it trapped.

Lin Mu raised his hand in the air and willed it, making a large rock appear. The rock fell on the Axe burying even deeper into the leg of the beast and into the rocky floor. This rock was none other than the Deep ocean Iron ore that he had obtained a long time ago.

Finally, he took out the Iron thorn Spear he had obtained from Jing Wei. Lin Mu hadnʼt used it since then for fighting, and had only practiced with it in his Sleepscape.

~ROAR!~

The Great Slumber Bearʼs powerful qi stirred as it increased its strength.

”HAAAA!”
