The three of them sensed the spatial fluctuations and immediately became alert. They didn't know what could happen next and thus were anxious.
The supreme elder had called for help from the master of Lin Mu and was wondering if it was him that had taken away Lin Mu or perhaps he was the one that was coming to help them. But when the fluctuations ended, they saw something that shocked them even more.
A few meters away from Gu Yao, Lin Mu had appeared. But he did not look the same as he did ten seconds ago. His body seemed to have grown a couple of sizes and his clothes were stretched taut. His eyes were blood shot and his face was red as well.
Veins popped out on his head and neck while his muscles throbbed. He was standing in a punching posture and was looking at Gu Yao. His face was one of utter malice and a terrifying aura could be perceived from him. In front of him, even Gu Yao's blood aura seemed to be lacking.
"What are you…" Gu Yao muttered in shock.
Right now Lin Mu did not seem to be just a peak stage qi refining realm cultivator, rather his presence was horrifying to even Gu Yao and the supreme elder.
"GET BACK!" Lin Mu ordered.
The supreme elder and the peak master Yi Deng instantly understood that this was intended for them and they rapidly flew to the back. They didn't know what was going to happen, but they knew better than to stay there for now.
A smile appeared on Lin Mu's face as he said.
"Boulder Collapsing fist: Third Form- Devastator!"
~Shua~
~Rip~
~Tear~
The skin of Lin Mu's hand was torn open as a pink ribbon of energy was released from it. The supreme elder and Yi Deng immediately set up defensive barriers, knowing that the ribbon of energy could hurt even them. They couldn't tell what the energy was, but the power contained within it was no joke.
Gu Yao reached the same conclusion and set up a blood shield as well.
~Deng~Deng~Deng~
Multiple layers of blood walls papered in front of the shield, creating additional defenses.
The pink ribbon of energy traveled at a great speed, yet it seemed as if it was slow. There were after images left behind which made it seem like the ribbon was extremely long, even when it was not. The floor beneath was ripped apart as the pink ribbon passed over it.
Then finally, it met the blood wall.
~Crush~
~Shatter~
The first wall was broken like glass as the ribbon collided against the second one.
~Shatter~
Third wall
~Shatter~
Fourth wall
~Shatter~
Fifth Wall
~shatter~
None of the blood walls were able to hold back for even a second against the pink ribbon of energy. Both the supreme elder and Yi Deng knew how difficult it was to break those blood walls. They had broken a few of them before, but even then it had taken them quite a bit of effort.
"NO!!" Gu Yao shouted in anger.
He poured more of his spirit qi into the blood shield in front of him and strengthened it further. This was the strongest shield he could set up and had not expected the blood walls to be broken like this, or he would have made a stronger one from the very start.
~Boom!~
It was as if an explosion had happened when the pink ribbon of energy met the Blood shield. A sonic boom was created as Lin Mu was pushed back a few meters.
He held onto his hand that was aching and looked at the pink ribbon of energy. This time he had gone beyond his limit and had used fifty percent power in using the Boulder Collapsing fist's third form. Xukong had told him that he shouldn't use it more than thirty percent, even if his cultivation in the body tempering realm had reached the peak.
Lin Mu needed to be undisturbed if he wanted to use the third form of the boulder collapsing fist, and thus the parallel world was the perfect for it.
Lin Mu knew that this would not be enough, as the attack power of the technique would barely reach that of a causal attack of a nascent soul realm cultivator. He did not want that as it would be blocked easily. Thus he went beyond forty percent.
But this was too much for his body and would have destroyed his arm. A solution immediately presented to Lin Mu as he remembered the effects of the Burning Heart sutra. Not only did the Burning heart sutra raise his physical strength, but it also reinforced his durability.
Lin Mu chanted the burning heart sutra and then used the technique. During this, he discovered another ability of the Burning heart sutra. He realized that any technique that used vital energy would be boosted when using the Burring heart sutra.
The sutra seemed to have the ability to amplify it and thus Lin Mu made the decision to boost its power to a full fifty percent. This was the maximum that he would be able to handle, and even then, his hand would probably be disabled for a few days.
Even if alchemical pills such as the four vessels restoration pill were used, he wouldn't be able to use it to its full capacity. This was not because of the physical injury, but rather because of the strain that would be put on his meridians.
His meridians would not be able to heal fully even with the use of the Three vessels restoration pill and would thus require additional time.
The effect of the technique was just as he had expected too. The Third form of the Boulder collapsing fist was able to break multiple blood walls easily and now the only thing stopping it was the blood shield which was the most powerful defensive skill of Gu Yao.
"Come on, BREAK!"
