Chapter 1540 The Tribulation Arrives

~HAA~

Lin Mu stretched his body upon finis.h.i.+ng his meals.

Only empty plates and trays were left next to him, as even bones had been eaten up by Lin Mu and Little Shrubby.

The same could be said for the twins, as they were snakes in the first place. They were creatures that swallowed their prey whole, leaving nothing behind. And in the case of the twins it was even more exaggerated as their capacity for consumption was a lot higher.

They had already consumed hundreds of corpses before in the Land of Exile, but most of them were not even on the level of immortals. But now they had consumed the corpses of several beasts that were at the immortal realm.

It had certainly given them a lot of energy and they were now in the middle of digesting it all.

Though Lin Mu could somewhat guess that the twins might be able to eat even more, and this was not their limit.

'They might have similar consumption like me' Lin Mu thought to himself.

He wondered if he could test it later, but doing that would need a lot of beast corpses. He'll wait till the right opportunity presented to him. Lin Mu often had clashes with beasts anyway and would often keep a lot of the corpses.

It was only a matter of time before he got to test it out.

Lin Mu observed the spatial disturbances around the twins and saw that they had increased by a slight amount.

'It's certainly progressing' Lin Mu thought and wondered how long it would take.

At the very least, he could guess that it won't be longer than a few days.

"Let's prepare for all that I can in this time" Lin Mu decided to be in the best state he could.

He first a.s.similated all the energy from the food he had consumed and replenished all his immortal Qi. Then he set up a few formations in the area to help support him, if there was ever a need. These formations weren't necessarily to be used for the Twins, but rather for anyone else that might appear.

After all, even with the Saintess's help, there was no telling what other situation could arrive.

Not to mention, Lin Mu needed to defend himself from the Transcendent Immortal Tribulation too. Its mere aftershocks could kill the newer immortals and while Lin Mu was confident of bearing then, it was still better to be prudent.

Thus he set up as many defensive formations as he could, employing the skills he had improved in setting up the formation pavilion in the Sleepscape.

About six days pa.s.sed like this while the fluctuations on the Twins got stronger. On the seventh day, the fluctuations had gotten really strong and Lin Mu was a bit anxious.

"Is it going to happen finally?" Lin Mu wondered.

"It can happen soon." Xukong replied.

"Very well then Little Shrubby wait in the Sleepscape." Lin Mu first sent Little Shrubby to safety.

There was no place safer than the Sleepscape for the beast right now as even if he was an immortal, he didn't have the skills to evade like Lin Mu nor the defenses. Little Shrubby had no objections either and entered the Sleepscape quickly.

Once that was done, Lin Mu retreated a few kilometer away, letting the Twins do their thing.

The two were coiled up together and seemed to be in a trance. It was clear that they had grasped the upcoming breakthrough and were preparing for it on their own terms.

"They'll be fine." Lin Mu affirmed to himself.

"They are not panicked at least. That's a good sign." The Saintess's voice could be heard.

Lin Mu turned and saw the Saintess standing beside him.

"The Ancestral Serpents are very strong on their own, and their bloodline is one of the top bloodlines for sure. I doubt they would be in trouble against even a Transcendent Tribulation. After all, even if we don't have information on that, the bloodline should have alerted them already." The Saintess spoke.

"Let's hope that's how it is" Lin Mu looked at the twins, observing the fine changes in the s.p.a.ce around them.

The two had no idea what kind of Transcendent Tribulation the twins will be having, and thus needed to be alert at all times.

Minute after minute pa.s.sed by, which soon turned into hours.

The intensity of the spatial disturbance increased with this, and eventually reached a point where Lin Wu could see the Spatial Fabric being affected.

~RUMBLE~

Finally, it was as if the s.p.a.ce couldn't bear it anymore and started to weaken!

A rumbling sound was heard coming from the skies, stunning all those that had heard it. The pressure exuding from the sound was enough to stir the hearts of all, informing them that great danger was approving.

"It's here" Lin Mu muttered but then noticed something else. "Wait it's not just the sky"

The Saintess narrowed her eyes, sensing the abnormality too. Her senses were spread around the area and had accurately picked up the changes.

"Wind Dao?" The Saintess said in surprise. "Thunder in the sky and Wind from the Twins?"??ee???n????.???

Hearing the words of the Saintess Lin Mu observed it again and sensed that the spatial tears were happening not just in the sky but around the twins too.

"The Spatial Tears in the sky and the rumbling means a Lightning Tribulation, but the tears around the twins that's a Wind Tribulation?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes that's how the Wind Tribulations usually are. Wind element is one of the Four Heavenly Elements and can thus manifest from the s.p.a.ce directly for tribulations. Just like how the Lightning Tribulations arrive from another dimension, the same can be said for the wind tribulation." The Saintess explained.

Hearing this, Lin Mu's brows furrowed.

"If both of these Tribulations are appearing at the same time, then what about the Transcendent Tribulation?" Lin Mu asked in doubt.

"That is yet to form." The Saintess said, her expression under the veil turning stern.
