Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2514  Amazing Ruins

Once Lin Mu was safely through the Mystic Atlantean Domain Barrier, the others felt less anxious.

A man whom Lin Mu recognized to be Dian Bei took the initiative. He was one of the past members of the expedition to the Bridge Plane and had benefited quite a lot from it. In fact, it was the very benefit of that expedition that was allowing him to get through the barrier right now.

~HUALA~

The manʼs eyes widened as a stern expression appeared on his face. A strong aura poured out of his skin and surrounded him.

If one looked carefully they would be able to see the vague figure of a large monkey behind him. It had two muscular arms that looked like they could rip apart entire tree trunks and legs that were equally as strong.

Its tail though was unique, splitting into five parts that acted like another hand. ʼThat should be the Hand Tailed Monkey.ʼ Lin Mu recognized the bloodline figure.

It was a decent rank beast and its bloodline was quite valuable too. Its bloodline ability not only boosted oneʼs strength but also allowed one to create a fifth limb just like the tail that the Hand Tailed Monkey had.

This allowed one to wield another weapon with the same proficiency as their dominant limb, potentially boosting their combat abilities.

~WOONG~

Lin Mu watched as the man carefully placed his hand on the barrier, and easily passed through it.

Giving him an approving look, Lin Mu held his hand and quickly pulled him in.

~HUALA~HUALA~HUALA~

Seeing that bloodline aura worked, the six other cultivators with beast bloodlines also did the same and easily managed to pass through the barrier.

With that done, those with the Aura Sealing Talisman were next. They had kept the activation of the talisman for the last moment since they didnʼt know how long they might need to keep it active.

It was also why they all had two talismans each, with one extra as a backup.

~SHUA~

Crown Prince Feng Shun took the lead this time and activated the talisman on his chest. As soon as he did, a red aura poured out from the talisman and coated his body in a glowing layer.

It was like a skin tight suit, that was unaffected by the water or movement of the user.

Seeing that the Talisman was working well, Crown Prince Feng Shun passed through the barrier as well.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

The rest of the people also came in soon, and no one had any issues.

Lin Mu then held up his communication jade slip so that everyone could see it.

The others did the same in a practiced manner and began to converse. After all in the water they were limited in their means of conversation. A communication jade slip was the easiest method of doing it with full clarity.

”The ruins below have been surveyed already, follow behind the two serpents you can see and be prepared for any attacks. This place is full of aquatic beasts.” Lin Mu informed everyone.

”Daoist Lin Mu will be in the front and Iʼll be in the back keeping a watch. Daoist Chu and Monk Hushu will be on the left while Lady Kang and her attendants will be on the left.” Crown Prince Feng Shun gave out orders for the formation they were to keep.

Their maneuverability was limited within the ocean, thus it was better for them to keep close so that they could help each other when needed.

”Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang, lead us.” Lin Mu asked and the twins nodded.

~WOOSH~

The twins moved through the water with ease, as Lin Mu followed after them along with the others. They were moving diagonally, going downwards as the ruins were still quite deep.

It took them an entire fifteen minutes before the ruins became ʼvisibleʼ to their immortal senses.

The entire scale of the ruins was quite big, spreading in an area of at least twenty five kilometer or more from what the twins had informed Lin Mu. It was more than twice as big as the limits of his immortal sense and several times bigger for the others who had limited ranges.

”Iʼll illuminate it.” Daoist Chu said as he threw out a small marble.

~WHOOSH~

The marble flew forward and began to fall. Halfway through it though, a small spark appeared within it before quickly turning as bright as the sun!

The ruins hidden in the dark depths of the ocean were revealed and became visible to everyone.

ʼWhoa!ʼ was a thought echoed by everyone present.

Below them was a vast expanse of ruins that seemingly stood upon an underwater plateau.

Time and water had carved their relentless marks upon the stone, leaving the once-grand arches and towering columns crumbled and encased in barnacles and coral. Faint traces of golden inscriptions shimmered on the walls being reflected by the illuminating pearl, speaking of an age when the city was alive rather than dead in obscurity. Massive stone statues stood broken yet resolute, their stony eyes filled with an eerie green light from bioluminescent algae that clung to every surface.

An intricate labyrinth of streets and grand halls stretched out beneath the silt, where the cobblestones were buried deep in layers of sand and the wreckage of ancient vehicles. Strange, ethereal plants wove through the ruins, their fronds glowing softly in hues of blue and violet, illuminating fragments of mosaics and murals that could barely be made out now. Everyone was silent as the marveled as the majestic place. Only by the faint rush of underwater currents and the soft sounds of marine beasts who had made the ruins their home seemed to bring them out of their momentary stupor.

ʼThat should be the statue of the Atlantean that the twins were describing.ʼ Lin Mu quickly spotted a particular statue that towered over them all.

It had a muscular body that was covered in scales and two rows of gills present on its neck. In one of the hands it held a broken spear shaft, with its head missing.
