Chapter 472 - Devastating Beam
This was a move that Lin Wu had made a few days ago but had never tried it. He made it by combining all of the aspects of the abilities that he had. It needed a proper balance between them or it would just end up failing instead.
The immortal Sky Shaker art was used to produce the wind attribute spirit Qi which was then modified with the Sapphire meridians to gain penetrating properties. Then, Qi amplification increased the amount of it that could be produced at once.
Then finally came radiation manipulation, which not only added radiation to the mix but also helped compress it further. The orb itself was made of a wind attribute spirit Qi which was then further compressed with the air around them which Lin Wu irradiated and controlled.
The combination of this all resulted in it turning into a dark green orb whose size could be increased indefinitely as long as Lin Wu could control it. But for now, an orb the same size of his head was already the maximum he could reach.
"Take this!" Lin Wu said as he bit down on the orb hard.
~ZAP~
A strange sound was heard as the orb exploded outwards into a beam form. Lin Wu's head recoiled a bit from the exploding of the orb changing the trajectory of the attack upwards, but he managed to control it in a bit.
But that little recoil had left a massive difference in the area around. A deep gully was carved into the ground where the beam passed and it was smoking hot. The parts where there were rocks and stones were directly melted and the boiling red liquid was left behind.
When Lin Wu's head was cocked back, the beam moved upwards and it destroyed all of the trees in a straight line for about two kilometers. They were either reduced to ash directly or blown to bits in one go.
As for the sky? The clouds in the sky had been parted and a massive line could be seen in it.
The Olive Viper King had barely been able to dodge the attack, but even then the forepart of his tail was cut off.
"ARGH!! MY TAIL!" The Olive Viper King yelled in pain.
Lin Wu took this opportunity to move his head at a 360 degree angle, effectively slicing all of the trees, rocks, beasts, and anything else that came in front of the beam in half before they burned.
~BOOM~
~THUD~THUD~THUD~
The trees that were taller were left with only their tops, as their bottom and middle parts were directly reduced to ash. As for the shorter trees, there was nothing left of them and the same could be the same for beasts.
A circle with a diameter of two kilometers was created within which now there was reality anything. It was as if the land had been leveled and burned down entirely. Even the radiant heat from the beam was enough to melt metal, not to mention the direct impact of it.
The Olive Viper King would have been burned entirely too had it not been for him being at the Nascent soul realm and having the crystalline body that had a certain resistance of radiation.
This was the reason why Lin Wu had used the sapphire meridians gained from the Undaunted Sapphire Body art to modify the sprint Qi. This allowed it to pierce the defenses of everything that came in front of it.
~posh~
The beam finally ended, and Lin Wu's head returned to normal. If one looked in his mouth, they could see a lot of the crystalline parts had been damaged as well.
"Damn! The power is even more than I thought. Though targeting something specific that can move will be a bit more difficult." Lin Wu said upon seeing the Olive Viper King who had survived with just a part of his tail destroyed.
He then checked his mouth and winced.
'It hurts myself too though… damn, my internals are not good using that attack. Thankfully, the vital essence is already repairing it.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
The Olive Viper King had recovered from the initial pain of losing his tail and was looking at Lin Wu with deadly eyes.
"You destroyed my territory! PREPARE TO BE EXTERMINATED!" The Olive Viper King declared as strong spirit Qi fluctuations started to come out of his body.
Seeing this, Lin Wu knew that the fight was entering the final phase and the Olive Viper King would not be holding back anymore.
'System, get the second part of the plan ready.' Lin Wu ordered in his mind.
For a second, a faint rumble could be heard coming from the ground, but Lin Wu suppressed it by causing vibrations of his own.
He glanced at the map in the corner of his eye and saw the changes happening in it.
"Now to just stall…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
"Bring it on!" Lin Wu taunted.
"AHH!!!!!" The Olive Viper King let out a battle cry as he flew towards Lin Wu.
Both of them met mid air and clashed again. Blow after blow was exchanged as poison clouds, venom sprays, wind blades, crystal spikes were used. The battle raged on for about ten minutes after which, several parts of the Olive Viper King's crystal back were ripped off.
Blood was dripping from the weaker scales on his belly and hundreds of teeth marks could be seen on it. These were of course, made by Lin Wu biting the Olive Viper King.
But Lin Wu was not without injuries either. During the battle, he had been continuously using vital essence to keep his body in top condition and healing it along with it as well. The beam attack earlier had damaged his mouth and internals, healing, which had used up a lot of his vital essence.
By now, Lin Wu was barely left with any vital essence at all in the storage and was fully depending on his natural recovery.
Still, the multiple dents and cracks in his body were hard to heal.
