Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2342  Battle In The Dantian

Lin Mu had little to think after he had used the Falling Sky Lance.

He had combined Tyrant Stomp, the Aspect of Heaviness with the durability of the Longgui Bulwark Armor in order to deal the most damage possible.

He also knew what he was up against, remembering his fight with Yao Changying in detail and also the fallout from it. Lin Mu knew how dangerous the Withering Daos was and on some level how to deal with it.

This was also why he had chosen to use the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets to attack. Not only was it strong, it also had the additional effect of protecting him from the effects of the Withering Dao to a certain extent due to the rich vitality.

This on top of the protection of the Longgui Bulwark Armor was how Lin Mu had decided to go up against the massive maggot.

But even if he had considered all those factors, Lin Mu could not predict the unknown. The creature he had gone up against had been far stronger than the attack that Yao Changying had used.

When he had made contract, he had dealt a massive amount of damage to the maggot, crushing its head and tentacles in one go. But that also ended up releasing a lot of the Withering Dao and other baleful energies that were contained within the creature.

The boots of the Longgui Bulwark Armor were crushed from the impact as well as the effects of the Withering Dao and it allowed for the foul energies to enter his body. His True Gold body had along since been unable to deal with the Withering Dao and the only thing left was his body cultivation protecting him.

But even then the combination of the foul energies was far too much for him to bear.

They invaded from every spot they could, before the explosion burned away the rest.

The entire corpse of the maggot was turned into hot ash and mixed into the remains of the ground around it before it finally melted into lava.

Thankfully, Lin Mu had a higher resistance against heat thus he had no issue even if he was floating in the lava. But that was only half of the trouble as he was now fighting against the energies from inside.

"Ugh!" Lin Mu opened his eyes and saw a brush floating above him along with a beating heart. "I'm in my Dantian?" he quickly realized.

Lin Mu was now in the form of his Nascent Soul and looked around frantically knowing that him entering this state without his control was not normal. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

~SCREECH~

And sure enough, a few moments later he realized why. A pain inducing screech was heard before the figure of a foul creature manifested from a mass of grey energy. Lin Mu's Nascent soul was alarmed by its instincts, knowing that whatever it was needed to be eliminated as soon as possible.

~WHOOSH~

"DIE!" Lin Mu didn't hesitate and directly punched out.

The sea of Immortal Qi below him churned as his punch struck the foul creature that was yet to fully form. "SCREEEEEEE!" The creature screamed in pain as it was pushed back, a part of it dissipating back into grey energy. But a second later, it gathered the energy back as its form started to solidify again. 'I can't let it stay here too long.' Lin Mu felt alarmed.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

He rushed to punch at the foul creature again, but this time it was able to dodge. It flew around, avoiding every blow, while also trying to reach a proper form. "True Earth Heart Dao Embryo! Earthen Armament Aspect!" Lin Mu called for his Dao Embryo that transformed into a great sword for him.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Lin Mu swung it around, sending forth large slashes that barely missed the fouls creature that was almost complete. It had four heads and each head was just a large mouth with thousands of teeth. There were tentacles coming from inside while also being around its body, as they continued to shift in a random manner.

It was similar to the final skill that Yao Changying had used against Lin Mu in their fight.

~SHING~ SHING~ SHING~

Lin Mu slashed out more, but was unable to hit the four headed maggot, his attacks lagging behind by a few moments.

"Dammit, my skills aren't the same in this form." Lin Mu couldn't use his Nascent Soul the same as he could his body.

After all, it wasn't a physical construct and as such he couldn't leverage it in the same way. Not to mention, there was a lack of strength to it which was due to it which Lin Mu's couldn't move as fast.

~SPLASH~

It was at this time that the maggot dived into the sea of immortal Qi below it.

~SIZZLE~

As soon as it did, the immortal Qi started to seemingly boil while Lin Mu's Nascent Soul felt a faint ache.

"Shit… this can't be good." Lin Mu saw the immortal Qi starting to turn darker. 'My immortal Qi is getting contaminated.' He realized.

~SCREECH~

The four headed maggot rose out of the sea of immortal Qi, and rushed at Lin Mu with its tentacles. The contaminated immortal Qi seemingly followed its orders, and turned into sharp thorns around the tentacles, as they clashed with Lin Mu.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

Lin Mu defended with the great sword, but the power was enough to push him back.

"Rune Shaping Brush!" Lin Mu called his other Dao Embryo and held it with his left hand, rapidly starting to draw runes.

~HUALA~

The immortal Qi below rose and filled into the runes, powering them instantly as a formation was created.

~SHUA~

Once the runes were filled the formation was seemingly 'ejected' out before more immortal Qi filled in the empty runes.

It was as if they were mold for making a formation.

~SHA~SHA~SHA~

These formations all created barriers, that protected Lin Mu's Nascent Soul as he started to counter attack.
