Chapter 1835 Dire Descent

Lin Mu knew to reach Yao Changying he would have to break through all her attacks, even if it meant getting injured himself. As such he used one of his skills with the greatest momentum.

Falling Sky Lance!

Lin Mu used the Tyrannical Aura to enlarge his arms again and flipped upside down. Next, he summoned the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo above him and attached it to his legs like a firm platform. This increased his ma.s.s and increased the momentum by several times.

But that was just the start as Lin Mu added more things.

~SHUA~

Fire covered his entire body as Lin Mu poured out the fire elemental immortal Qi that was within his Dantian. It first coated him and then flowed upwards to form a jet of flame. Next, Lin Mu extended both his arms and opened his giant palms.

~HONG~

Pure Sword intent manifested around him along with Metal elemental immortal Qi, further coating his hands in a sharp aura.

"Aspect of Heaviness!"

Finally, Lin Mu used his Dao Skill that exponentially increased his weight, and accelerated him, breaking the sound barrier.

~BOOM~

A sonic boom was heard, the shockwave causing the four illusory festering worms to halt temporarily. Lin Mu"s form turned into a fiery blur as if a meteor descending from the skies. He could no longer be seen within it, leaving a kilometer long fiery streak behind him.

The air started to heat up from the friction, causing the area to turn hotter faster than usual.

"Futile effort!" Yao Changying shouted before spinning her sword in a circle, causing the four illusory festering worms to come together.

~KIYAAAA~

The four worms seemingly merged together, turning into a large four headed ent.i.ty. Its power had increased by a lot and the Withering energy was palpable. Even the very air was getting corrode, a grey smog spreading from the four headed worm.

The worm screeched and met the falling figure of Lin Mu head on.

~SPLAT~

It"s illusory form was smashed from the initial impact, three out of the four heads turning to mush.

~KUOAAAAAA~

The lone surviving head bit Lin Mu"s hand, infecting him with the slate grey withering energy.

"HAAAH!" Lin Mu simply powered through it, forcibly burning the worm away while ignoring the energy that was spreading through his arms.

The illusory body of the large worm faded away from the force and heat, that was mixed with the sharpness of the sword intent before dispersing. But even when it did that, Withering Dao Traces were left behind, which powdered Lin Mu"s entire body in it.

~COUGH~

Just a second after being covered by it, Lin Mu felt blood rising from his lungs. He forcibly coughed it out, finding it to be dark brown in color and foul smelling. Now, in addition to outer injuries, Lin Mu was acc.u.mulating internal injuries as well. The Withering Dao Traces had entered his body and were trying to cause havoc.

~ROAR~

~MOO~

But the bloodline of the Great Slumber Bear and the spirit of the Tyrant Bull wasn"t going to tolerate that. Lin Mu"s body was their home and they wouldn"t let an intruder harm it.

Another battle began within Lin Mu"s body as the two illusory beasts fought against the Withering Dao Traces!

Lin Mu didn"t have the luxury of observing this, as he had the target in front of him. But if he did see it, he would be rather astonished to see the two beasts working together to expel the Withering Dao Traces. And if he looked closer, he would even see two faint strings connecting the two illusory beasts.

These two faint strings were made out of minuscule runes that looked to be obscure and esoteric.

Secretly, Lin Mu"s stomach also activated, releasing the stored energy within it and channeling it into the two illusory beasts through the threads. Coincidentally, the esoteric runes making up the string were the same ones that appeared on the stomach.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

Lin Mu"s body continued to descend towards Yao Changying and crashed against several of her attacks, that he directly tanked. They had come in a hurry and seemed weaker than her previous attacks, evidently having been made in a hurry.

With fire and air blurring his vision, Lin Mu couldn"t see clearly in front of him and was using his immortal sense to guide his falling trajectory.

But if he could see, he would find Yao Changying looking rather shocked.

"Why aren"t they working?!" Yao Changying screamed in anger. "STOP!" she slashed vertically, using as much energy as he could muster in that short moment.

Unfortunately for her, Lin Mu was already within a hundred meters of her. The heat radiating from him was palpable and was already scorching her clothes.

"AHHHHHHHHH!" As a last ditch effort, Yao Changying"s body overflowed with the slate grey aura and doused her in it.

In the next moment, her and Lin Mu"s eyes met.

Anger reflected in her eyes while determination shone in Lin Mu"s eyes.

~BOOM~

The two finally collided, Lin Mu"s infected arms. .h.i.tting Yao Changying"s shoulders!

~KACHA~

"ACK!" Yao Changying couldn"t even scream as the pain overwhelmed her senses.

Both of her shoulders were broken from the sheer weight and impact. Unfortunately for her, there was no way for Lin Mu to stop.

~KABOOM~

~RUMBLE~

Yao Changying"s body disappeared along with Lin Mu, as a thick cloud of smoke, dust and debris was whipped up. Plumes of orange flames also spread out, turning the area into a burning h.e.l.lscape. Slate grey withering smog also mixed in with it, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening.

Though a second later they could see the ground in an area of a kilometer collapsing. It caved in for nearly a hundred meters, forming a deep crater that somewhat managed to disperse the impact.

"This…" The Elder overseeing the fight didn"t even know what to make of this.

~HONG~

But that wasn"t the end of it all, as a green light shone brightly from the smoke and dust!
