Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2525  Aspect Of Cold

The Atlantean Neptunium was special and its unique properties allowed it several things like making a barrier that prevented cultivators from getting in, but it also had its own limitations.

One such limitation was that its stability was only maintained in water. It could certainly be taken out of water if it was kept inactive, but if its effects were still being used it could explode with a devastating power.

The energy contained within the statues was no joke as they were entirely made out of Atlantean Neptunium.

”The amount of Atlantean Neptunium they have here is massive. They wouldnʼt need this much to protect a city of this size, even a quarter of it would have been more than enough. They have intentionally added more as they wished for not only it to be destroyed but anyone and anything that might be in its periphery in case of emergency.” Xukong said after assessing the situation.

”Thatʼs gonna be a disaster.” Lin Mu knew they had to get away from this right away. ”EVERYONE TO THE SHIP! CAST ALL YOUR DEFENSIVE SKILLS AND ALL TREASURES YOU CAN USE OR WE MIGHT NOT SURVIVE!” He shouted out loud.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Even without his words they were already running and soon reached the ship. ~HONGLONG~

Crown Prince activated the ship and every defensive array that was present on it, making it fly right away.

”Great Vajra Illumination!” Monk Hushu cast a large golden barrier over the entire ship.

”Shang Imperial Art, Great Bramble Fortress!” Crown Princess Shang did the same, covering the entire ship in thorny vines that made it look like a fort.

~SHUA~SHUA~~SHUA~SHUA~

Soon everyone began casting their skills, either on themselves or the ship, hoping to grant themselves better level of safety.

Lady Kang did the same as stars appeared above her.

”88 Constellation Series: Eighty Fourth Form- Firm Shield!” Lady Kang chanted as the four stars created an illusory figure of a shield. ”Reinforcing Scutum!”

With her command, the already existing defenses, as well as those added later, were further reinforced, their power almost doubling from it.

In all this, there were some skill took longer to prepare than others. At the end, when pretty much everyone was done using their skills, there was only one person left.

~WHOOSH~

Mei Nienzhenʼs white hair fluttered with frost as chilly winds surrounded her.

Her chest glowed as a transparent sphere flowed out of it, a Dao Shell.

Within the Dao Shell, one could see a beautiful lotus flower that shimmered under the brilliant light of the sun and various skills that were cast around them. Each of the petals of the lotus had a dazzling moon pattern on them that glowed just like the real moon.

And at the center of it one could see stamens made out of pure ice as the swayed gently, her Dao Embryo.

But as beautiful as the lotus was, it was also deadly, for the sheer cold coming from it was enough to freeze everything solid. This was also why Mei Nienzhen had waited till the end to use it, as everyone already had their defensive skills up. Without it, they would have been caught in it too. Her strong skills were not ones that could be controlled to a limited area.

A few individuals that saw the Dao Embryo couldnʼt help but marvel at its beauty, but those that knew what it was were stunned.

”A Frost Moon Lotus Dao Embryo!?” Crown Prince Feng Shun who saw it, exclaimed. ”I thought there had been no one in the Mei Clan that had managed to cultivate it since their founder died…” Lady Kang narrowed her eyes as she saw the lotus, quickly using several of her defensive tools to further improve the defense for the people present within the ship. This was to protect them from the collateral damage rather than the external one.

ʼThat Dao Embryo can freeze an entire world if the user is strong enough.ʼ Lady Kang knew a bit more about it. Lin Mu saw it too and could feel the sheer density of Ice Dao Traces that could be felt from it.

”Sheʼs strong… A lot stronger than before.” Xukong commented. ”Her Frost Moon Lotus Dao Embryo is one of the top Ice Dao Embryos one can have.” ”It is?” Lin Mu was surprised.

”Itʼs easily one of the top five Ice Dao Embryos.” Xukong replied. ”Though its power can be so overwhelming that most individuals will succumb to it if they overdo it. Itʼs like that Childe Wildfireʼs Scorch Sun Ruby Dao Embryo.” He compared.

”That strong?” Lin Mu hadnʼt expected that. He knew that fighting Mei Nienzhen before had been quite harder compared to the other contestants in the fight. If she hadnʼt lost to Lin Mu back then, there was a high chance she might have even managed to enter the top five contestants.

~SSSSSSSS~

The appearance of the Dao Embryo was merely the prelude as Mei Nienzhen finally cast her Dao Skill.

Bringing her hands together in the Lotus Mudra, she chanted.

”Aspect of Cold: Stilling Order.” She uttered.

In that moment, it was as if the very air itself froze and all sound with it. No ice formed on the ship, and neither were the other skills were affected. But a perceptible change had occurred in them.

It was seen as the sound of air had disappeared along with the pressure.

Lin Mu used his immortal sense to perceive it and discovered that the air particles had stopped moving. And any new particles that came within the periphery of it were immobilized as well.

But this went on a level that he had never seen before.

He knew that even if something was stable, it didnʼt mean that it was not showing any movement. The tiny particular that constituted something still kept on moving and vibrating. Even when they had become cold, they would not fully stop, but somehow Mei Nienzhen had stopped their very movement.
