Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2537  A Sudden End

It had taken all their effort to cause damage to the Spatial Fold Barrier, and now that there was finally a crack they couldn't help but feel content that it had worked. "Wait, it won't close on its own, will it?" Someone asked.

"It shouldn't." Daoist Chu replied. "Unless it was a Spatial Master controlling it, the Spatial Fold Barrier will eventually give way." He said knowing how the arrays worked.

"That's good. I suppose we just need to continue this then?" Ziran asked.

"Yes." Daoist Chu nodded. "There aren't many Chimeric Beasts left anyways. Thanks to him." He said looking towards Lin Mo who was slaughtering all the Chimeric beasts coming from the existing Spatial Rifts with ease.

"To think his strength would be this high." The Flood Dragon spoke. "Perhaps if we really fought before, I might not have won." He said seeing Lin Mo's power.

"Probably." Childe Wildfire agreed seeing 'Lin Mu's' power.

He hadn't had the chance to fight him before, but observing his skills was more than enough for him to assess how strong Lin Mu was. Right now, Lin Mu's cultivation base was already equal to that of the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm which was a realm higher than his own. It was confusing as to how fast it grew, but Childe Wildlife merely guessed that it was being hidden.

After all, he had done the same before during the Tournament too, pretending to be at the Fifth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, when he was actually at the Sixth.

What he didn't know that this was actually Lin Mo doing it, but since the appearance was relatively the same he couldn't tell them apart. Not to mention Lin Mu and his companions had already decided that it was best to keep the devilish Lin Mo's truth hidden for now. Adding a Devil cultivator to the mix would be rather problematic since the situation was already explosive.

The aura coming from Lin Mo was certainly unsettling to everyone, but they weren't able to tell if it was really him or the effect of Yao Changying and her pawns that were present. It was easy for them to mistake the two after all.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

~BANG~BANG~BANG~

~DENG~DENG~DENG~

They quickly returned to hitting the Spatial Fold Barrier and targeted it where the cracks were spreading, hoping to cause more damage.

On the other side, Lin Mo had calmed down somewhat and the volcanoes exploding in the sky had finally disappeared.

"Meld." Lin Mo extended his hands towards the Spatial Rifts and brought them together in a closing gesture.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

That alone was enough to close all the rifts forcibly, preventing anymore Chimeric beasts and Yin Nascent Soul beasts from coming out.

"Now for the main course." Lin Mo said with a smirk as he moved towards the 'buried' body of Yao Changying.

~Shua~

He waved his hand and dispersed all the purple earth created by Landslide and revealed the injured body of the woman.

Her state was beyond pitiful, with her left arm being crushed beyond recognition, probably from trying to defend. Her right arm was damaged too and had a lot of its flesh stripped off. Both of her legs were broken from the weight and her skull had been cracked as well.

Despite all this though, she was still alive.

"Interesting." Lin Mo said as he made a pulling gesture.

Yao Changying's body was raised with Meld and hovered close to Lin Mo.

~SHUA~

Using his Immortal Sense he checked her body finding all the damage that had been done to it other than the external one. "Torn meridians and a shattered Dantian… You really made a mistake using that Soul Attack." Lin Mo chuckled. "If you hadn't used that, perhaps you might have had a chance. A tiny one but still… a chance." He mocked the woman.

While she appeared to be unconscious that was only for her body. The two souls inside her body were still listening to everything but they couldn't do much other than seethe in anger.

Lin Mo's dark purple eyes looked at the trembling souls within the body which made him smile widely.

"Still… Thanks for making this easier for me. I'll enjoy this throughly." Lin Mo said as he extended his hand towards Yao Changying's chest.

~SPLAT~

He jabbed it straight in and pulled out two wisps that were seemingly in the middle of fusing. One side was a pale blue color while the other one was a darker indigo color. Another tiny wisp could be seen attached to the indigo wisp, which was the soul fragment that was being absorbed before.

'To think I'd get to consume a Celestial's soul so soon.' Lin Mo was pleased as he brought the trembling souls to his mouth.

They tried to escape his grasp but that was simply impossible as he breathed in.

~SHUA~

The souls were immediately sucked in, ending the existence of the two people who had threatened the entire Rust Sky World.

Lin Mu who was observing this from his mind couldn't help but feel a bit strange. 'This feels almost… Surreal.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He had expected the battle to be a lot fierce and was prepared to suffer a lot of injuries as well. And yet, he was mostly fine other than being a tired mentally. Physically though, he was at his peak, his Qi not only fully replenished but overflowing with the energy of the Soul Cape.

Lin Mo had absorbed a lot of them and hadn't fully exhausted them so they were still present there.

"What? Feeling disappointed?" Lin Mo suddenly questioned him.

"No… just not used to this. I don't know why…" Lin Mu answered.

"Why? Did you intend to get pushed to the brink of death again?" Lin Mo laughed. "Have you gotten addicted to sacrificing yourself?" he asked.

"No… I just didn't expect Yao Changying to fall so easily." Lin Mu replied.

"It might seem easy but it wouldn't have been if you were not prepared for it." Lin Mo retorted. "Even I didn't expect her to be capable of using a Soul Attack like that. It was a strong one at that too. If it were weaker Soul Defense skill, you would not have survived it." He added.

"Yeah… Litany of the Verdant Forests was crucial to this." Lin Mu understood.

His insistence of getting a defensive soul skill as a reward back then had been what had saved him right now. "The backlash of using the Soul Attack was what wrecked Yao Changying." Lin Mo stated. "Though of course my sword skills contributed in it too." He said pridefully.

"Yes." Lin Mu couldn't deny that.

"I believe you got to comprehend it?" Lin Mo inquired.

"Somewhat, but I'll need more time." Lin Mu replied. "Well, you know what to do if you wish to learn more." Lin Mo said as a smile appeared on his face. "For now though, I'll have to take a rest." He said much to Lin Mu's surprise.

"A rest?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"It isn't going to be easy to digest a Celestial's soul." Lin Mo replied. "Unless of course, you don't want any of the memories within it and just want the crude energy extracted from it." He added.

"Of course not." Lin Mu knew how valuable the memories would be. "Though… Can you get Yao Changying's memories first?" he wished to know why she had done all this and her thoughts.

"That'll be easy. Though for now, I believe you should manage your companions." Lin Mo said as he suddenly returned control to Lin Mu.

Resuming control of his body, the first thing Lin Mu felt was the great power of the Soul Cape hanging behind him.

It was about two hundred meters long right now and held a lot of power. 'Even now I can feel the cultivation base of a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal.' Lin Mu estimated. 'I guess the Soul cape isn't exactly proportional to the cultivation base increase during the activate state of Murdering Heart Sutra.' He reckoned.

He analyze the state of his body for a minute before deciding to end it. Yao Changying and the Withered Spirit Daoist were dead so there was no need to keep it active.

As such he chanted the Severing heart Sutra, returning his mind to a still stage.

~SHUA~ n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Soul Cape behind him receded back into his body and disappeared entirely along with the ominous and devilish aura. Ocean Raker and Afternoon Pine too returned to their normal states and calmed down.

Inside his Dantian though, Lin Mu could sense the Soul Cape's presence. It had now attached itself to Lin Mu's Nascent Soul and fluttered behind his back majestically.

'So they can be stored for later…' Lin Mu noted before thinking of something. 'Guess I didn't really need to call the Haima Tribe.' He reckoned.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

But as if his thoughts were a jinx, a loud cracking sound was heard along with intense Spatial Fluctuations!
