Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2399  Tempted By Evil

~HUU~

Lin Mu took a deep breath as he ignored the pain in his chest before looking at Min Ju.

"What I'm about to do, is not… normal." Lin Mu spoke. "What you all decided to think of me after that is up to you, but I swear to save everyone." He stated with a staunch voice.

"No matter what you do, everyone will in support of your actions." Min Ju said. "At the very least, the Kang Clan will be behind you even if you become the enemy of the entire Immortal Realm." She replied with full confidence.

"Very well… that does give me a bit more assurance." Lin Mu said as he came to a stop at the entrance.

"Daoist Lin Mu!?" Ziran and Daoist Chu were surprised seeing him.

"Let me be… I'll try to end this all." Lin Mu said as he let go of Min Ju.

"Are you sure?" Ziran questioned with concern.

"No… But the gamble will be worth it." Lin Mu said as the look in his eyes changed.

"Amitabha, in times like this all things became permissible." Monk Hushu didn't know what Lin Mu was about to do, but he now knew the man well and would support him through everything.

Lin Mu nodded to the monk before glancing a the great swarm.

~HUM~

His lips moved silently at first but an uncanny aura wrapped around him. Bit by bit, they got louder until they could finally be heard by others.

Strange and eerie words belonging to an unknown tongue left Lin Mu's lips as an unsettling feeling filled the area. The words were incomprehensible and yet all those that heard it would find a chill going through their body.

Monk Hushu particularly felt his Buddhist Heart trembling, as if warning him about a grave danger.

'Amitabha… what is Daoist Lin MU attempting?' Monk Hushu knew right away it was not orthodox but he also knew he couldn't stop the man. 'Buddha haves mercy for the cost that Daoist Lin Mu will pay for this.' The man prayed silently.

Ziran and Daoist Chu felt unease too. It was as if a Blade was hanging above one's head, ready to fall at any time. It would make one unable to calm down and stretch their nerves taut. "What is this…" Daoist Chu muttered unable to comprehend it.

"Daoist Lin Mu… What have you managed to learn?" Ziran though had an inkling of what might be happening.

The longer Lin Mu chanted it, the worse the feeling got for everyone until eventually even the Chimeric Beasts beyond the border of the formation flags felt it.

The weak ones stopped in their tracks while the strong ones were intimidated to think twice.

But that was not all, as a new aura rose from Lin Mu's body.

It was a mix of dark purple and black, looking like a thick vapor. The aura enveloped the back of Lin Mu and rose up like a wall. "Buddha protect us… this is not the Orthodox… this isn't even the Unorthodox!" the Monk quickly figured outs that Lin Mu's skill went beyond the norm. 'How did he even manage to learn something like this with his Buddhist affinity?!' the monk was baffled.

The sheer amount of ominous aura that could be felt from Lin Mu was mind wracking.

~HUALA~

It continue to rise until it suddenly erupted!

It was as if a pillar of purple and black metal had risen into the sky!

Lin Mu's form was hidden within it and nothing could be perceived about what was happening to him.

Inside it, Lin Mu felt the aura of the devil path filling him. Nefarious and evil thoughts filled his mind and the urge to kill rose within him too. If this was him from before, he might've already lost his mind, but he was able to hold on better due to his progress with the Buddhist path.

Just as he was trying to keep control over his state, he heard a peal of laughter. The laughter was sharp as if both mocking and threatening him.

"Looks like you're finally using it." The voice spoke.

Lin Mu heard the voice and was surprised for a second since he actually recognized it.

"You…" Lin Mu muttered as he saw the purple black aura gathering in front of him and turn into a mirror. "Yes… It's me. Its you." The person in the mirror spoke. He had the same form as Lin Mu, except for the fact that a devilish smile hung on his face and his eyes were dark purple in color. "What are you?" Lin Mu questioned since he was finally getting to see the man again.

"Like I said back then and now… I am simply you." The man in the mirror replied. "I am you… but honest." Lin Mu furrowed his brows and was ab out to retort before the reflection spoke.

"Save your words and simply tell me… do you wish to save them all and kill your enemies?" The reflection asked.

"Of course." Lin Mu replied. "Then let me do it." The reflection answered.

"What? No." Lin Mu denied. "Please, be rational." The reflection scoffed. "You're in no condition to handle this. Even if you control the Sutra on your own, you will pass out from the Well of Slumber before you can do much." Lin Mu went silent as he knew this was the truth.

"Let me offer you this." The reflection spoke. "Leave it to me and I guarantee that I'll get you out of here. Even if you pass out from the Well of Slumber, I'll still manage to do it." He said with great confidence.

Lin Mu was hesitant about this but was tempted by the reflections words. He didn't know why but he felt a trust in it deep inside his heart.

"Fine." Lin Mu agreed with a sigh.

"Then repeat after me." The reflection spoke with a toothy smile.

"Reap the souls of all creations, take their providence as yours and bring forth Hell upon the Myriad Heavens! — Behold The Murdering Heart Sutra!"
