Chapter 2343 Spirited Battle And Assistance
Barrier after barrier surrounded Lin Mu''s Nascent Soul, defending it against the attacks of the four headed maggot.
Lin Mu''s Formation Dao Embryo was also working hard to keep it progressing, while Immortal Qi kept on filling the mold''s it made.
It was as if a production line had been made for the barrier formations, as they kept on being produced nonstop. This was something that was basically impossible in the real world and could only be maintained in the Dantian where Lin Mu had total control as well as a rich supply of immortal Qi.
The rich immortal Qi sea below him was at hismand and he didn''t need to think about anything at all for it to yield to hismands. This was the best control over immortal Qi that Lin Mu had ever had and he almost couldn''t believe it.
''The response time is so fast and the power is also higher than usual… is this what using the Nascent Soul to the true potential is like?'' he thought to himself.
Lin Mu had been able to get by without ever having to use the real power of his Nascent Soul. Thus he didn''t know the just how strong it could get. After all, there was a reason why Cultivators with a Nascent Soul were feared.
It wasn''t just a safeguard for them to assure their survival upon the death of their physical bodies. It was a weapon, one that could spell the end of many.
But it was also a weapon with a cost.
If one were to use it to the true extent, they would either have to lose their physical body, or to restrain the potential of the Nascent Soul.
Despite this, there were many that used the potential of their Nascent Souls, risking the safety of their souls to attack their foes.
There was nock of techniques that allowed this and as such this was a verymon strategy. But in Lin Mu''s current situation all of this was in applicable. Not only was he in his Nascent Soul form, he was also within his Dantian. As such all the restrictions that applied by to his Nascent Soul were null and void for now. Not only could hemand the immortal Qi within his Dantian as he pleased, Lin Mu could also use it for formations.
That is exactly what was happening, as barrier after barrier manifested without so much so as a hesitation.
But that was still not enough, for the Four Headed Maggot''s attacks got stronger and stronger.
~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~
"Dammit," Lin Mu cursed.
It was almost unbelievable for Lin Mu as the attacks of Four Headed Maggot were eventually reaching a point where he was having a hard time to resist it. No matter how many barriers he created with the Rune Shaping brush it was simply not enough.
Retaliating with the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo was also not an option, as it slowed down the flow of all energies. It was an Earth Elemental Dao Embryo in the end and using it meant that he would be putting pressure on everything else.
This was something that had been known by everyone that had learned about the Earth Elemental Dao to the full extent as well as about the ability of Lin Mu''s Dao Embryo.
Considering that, Lin Mu used the limit of what he could and fight against the four headed maggot.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
But as time went by the condition of the technique turned bad. Eventually it reached a point where the maggot was controlling at least a quarter of the Dantian''s immortal qi stores. Lin Mu was hard pressed at this point and was doing all he could to resist it.
Minute after minute passed like this as Lin Mu''s Nascent Soul got weaker and weaker.
No matter how much he utilized his techniques and Dao embryos, he was still unmatched. It eventually reached a point where Lin Mu was considering several drastic options.
''The Four Faceted Neb… Can I use it?'' Lin Mu wondered to himself.
As of now, he had only learned the First Facet: The Freedom of Movement. This allowed him to Warp to locations he had been to, and did not rely on just his own immortal Qi. It neededmore than that and could not be used by Lin Mu causally. The locations and uses were limited, thus it was something out of choice for him.
Thus the Spatial Dao Embryo did not even make an appearance, staying hidden as it had always had beyond the senses of all immortals.
With this not working, Lin Mu was forced to fight in themon manner. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
He flitted across the battlefield as his Dantian kept on churning. The elemental immortal Qis were located at the borders of the immortal Qi sea, but the infiltration of the Four Headed Worm had spurred it into resisting everything as well.
But just as Lin Mu felt like he was about to lose the very first conflict against the four Headed worm, he sensed a new personification of energy.
~ROAR~
~MOOO~
That personification quickly transformed as the illusory images of two beings manifested above him, much to his surprise.
''The Great Slumber Bear and the Tyrant Bull…'' Lin Mu thought. ''I can definitely make use of it….'' The cries of the two beings could be heard as they rushed in to resist the invasion of a foreign energy.
~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~
The two illusory images rushed in as they started to fight the tentacles of the four headed grey maggot. The speed of the images was fast too, elimination many of them before they could even reach the core of Lin Mu.
~BANG~BANG~BANG~
The conflict continued for several minutes as Lin Mu used the great sword as well as his Dao shattering all that was in his path.
It wasn''t until half an hourter, that Lin Mu felt like he had reached a stable state.
~HUU~
Lin Mu took a breath as he revised the entire satiation.
~RUMBLE~
But doing this was not the best choice, as the vile energies still took the chance to attack him.
~MOOO~
~TREMBLE~
Lin Mu tried to use his body to resist the attacks and more of the other ces, but eventually it reached a point where it could not be hidden. ~HUALA~
Their luck was confirmed to be worse as the strange bloodline creatures attacked. Lin Mu tried to resist them with his own abilities but there were things he could not control.
Eventually he reached a point where he had no option but to sumb to it all.
''Nothing works, what am I supposed to do?'' Lin Mu wondered as he truly understood the danger and power of the Withing Dao energy.
But just as he was about to take another Drastic step, Lin Mu heard a voice.
"Daoist Mu Lin!" he heard his name being called before a warm energy filled his chest.
~HUALA~
A couple secondster, the prayer beads that Monk Hushu used seemingly appeared in front of Lin Mu as they started to resist his situation.
~HONGLONG~
The beads erged and glowed in bright white light, as Lin Mu felt the familiar feeling of the Buddhist technique.
"They''re helping me from the outside?" Lin Mu understood.
It was unexpected for Lin Mu, as it not only needed one to have great control over an immortal too, but they also needed control over their own skills.
And now that it was being used on Lin Mu, he couldn''t help but be ecstatic.
~HONGLONG!~HONGLONG~HONGLONG
Loud sounds could be heard as the damage of illusory bloodline images, physiques, techniques and more started to mix together.
Lin Mu''s sea of Immortal Qi was getting corrupted by the Four Headed Maggot, while he was also utilizing the rest of it. Being in this state was certainly not normal for Lin Mu, but he wasn''t totally caught off guard. He had long since known that he could reach a state where he might be a dead stone and needed to be ready for it all.
And now that very situation hade into existence. Thankfully Lin Mu was at the end of it and could soon resolve it.
Bit by bit, he resisted the effects of the immortal essence until finally it had reached a still point.
"Huu…" Lin Mu took a deep breath before finally utilizing it all.
~HONGLONG~
The prayer beads along with Lin Mu''s will purged all that was in their way before Lin Mu heard a voice in his head.
"Awaken, Daoist Mu Lin… We need you."
"We cannot do this without you."
"If you do not wake up, we might just end up being doomed to an old life too."
~HUALA~
Finally Lin Mu opened his eyes as waves of immortal Qi spread.
Standing around him were hispanions whileying atop his chest was none other than the Buddhist prayer beads.
"You''re back?!"
