Lin Mu was feeling a tremendous amount of pain right now. He could only compare it to when he assimilated the Great Slumber Bear's bloodline and was enough to make him cry out in pain.
~RUAAAAAAAAA~
Though the cry was more like a roar when it came out of his throat and echoed in the entire hall.
But pain was not the only thing that he was feeling. What filled his body even more was pure rage that had no place to go. It circulated in his body and stirred the vital energy in his body.
When he was bound by the chains, he had felt even his vital energy getting suppressed and drained. But now… he felt like he had a volcano inside of him that was ready to explode.
~Dub~DUB~DUB!~
His heartbeats thundered like a war drum and could be heard very clearly. They joined his roar and created a soul chilling symphony.
Vital energy kept on pouring out of the depths of his body and rushing into his blood. All the meat and food he had eaten till now was showing its effect.
The Nameless Technique of the Lost Immortal suddenly became active, and endless vital essence started pouring out of his stomach.
Lin Mu had never felt like this before and could only let things progress as it is.
~CRACK~CRACK~
His bones and joints creaked along with his trembling body. His muscles started to bulge out of irregularity and warped his body. He contorted in pain and looked like a horrifying ghoul at this moment.
Within his Dantian, another change was happening. While the energy that suppressed his spirit Qi was still there, a relentless roar could still be heard coming from Dantian. It was as if it was trying to force its way out, but was still unable to do it.
But the roar resonated within his body and made Lin Mu's blood heat up. Lin Mu could feel something additional happening to him. It was not just the Burning Heart Sutra that was acting now.
Ku Waowen, who was watching the entire change was shaking like she was standing naked in the freezing winter. A Deep Crimson Aura started exuding from Lin Mu and became corporeal.
It looked a bit similar to the red mist that she used, but was far denser than that. Plus, she could tell that it was not made of spirit Qi, but something else entirely.
'Ancestors save me… what is this being…'
She hadn't even touched the aura, but could sense that it was something that would wrench the life out of her. Even though it was just an aura and could not harm her directly, the Malevolent intent within it was very apparent.
The Deep Crimson covered Lin Mu till he could not be seen at all. At the same time, Ku Waowen saw another part of the Deep Crimson aura separating out from it. The aura rose up and started to take a shape.
It grew at least ten meters tall and three meters wide before details started to appear on it. She watched as it turned into a large beast. It was standing on two legs and had two arms with twelve inch long claws that were no less than knives.
It had long canines that were prominently displayed in its mouth and a triangular pattern that was present on its chest.
"A bear?" Ku Waowen finally recognized what the beast was.
But it was not just any bear. It was the largest bear beast she had seen and the gaze with which it looked at her made her shrink back even more. What she didn't notice though, were two small horns that had started to grow out from the side of the bear's head.
The bear raised his head as if it was taking a deep breath and stretched its arms.
~ROAR!!!!!!~
Finally, an earthshaking roar was let out by the bear that forced Ku Waowen to close her ears with her palms. But even then, a thin streak of blood could be dripping down the sides of her ears.
~EEEK!~
Ku Waowen shrieks in fear as she saw the beast about to pounce towards her. She jumped back but then realized that nothing had happened. Pulling every bit of courage she had, she looked back and saw that instead of attacking her, the beast was instead being sucked back into the main body of the aura.
~RUMBLE~
The Deep Crimson aura started to shrink back and turned into a more spherical shape. It stayed in this form momentarily before finally being sucked back into the person that was within it.
~HUUUUUUUU~
A breath that was like the tearing wind was heard and a new being appeared in front of the old woman. It towered over her at over four meters and was ten times the size of a man. Its arms were as thick as tree trunks and so were the legs.
There were three inch long and sharp claws that were red and grey in color. The chest of the being was broad and thick, which made him look like a towering wall. The dense muscles that were packed into it though, exuded sheer strength.
His shoulders were wide and fine lines could be seen going all along with them. They joined up to form a pattern which then spread around his body. The pattern looked like an inverted triangle on his chest but an inverted pentagon on his back.
The hair of the being was also long, reaching his lower back. It was pitch black in color and had a metallic sheen to it as well.
~GRRRRRRR~
A rumbling growl came from the being's mouth as its fangs were revealed. They were beastly and could easily tear any flesh to shreds.
Ku Waowen stared into the eyes of the being and almost collapsed, seeing the crimson pupils and black sclera.
"W-What… What… What are you?" Ku Waowen finally questioned with the last bit of courage that she had.
"I… AM… VENGEANCE!"
