Chapter 1857 Weakness Spurring Strength
With Feng Baxing's command and hand seal, a dry wind began to blow from the Shearing Hurricane Fan.
The wind was strange, and nothing like Lin Mu had ever felt.
'This is certainly earth element but what is this property' Lin Mu felt both amazed as well as shocked.
The wind held such a unique property that it could take away the vitality of all that it touched. It dried things out on an intrinsic level and went beyond the level of normal understanding.
Water vapor that came in contact with it transformed into sand which was a total transformation. Plants and other life that came in contact with the wind would first dry out, then turn thin.
Eventually they would turn into desiccated flakes and finally crumble into dust.
Lin Mu saw all this happen, as his robes turned into dust with just a faint touch of the wind. And when his skin touched the wind, it cracked!
'The True Gold Body Forging Arts is not enough at all!' Lin Mu understood at that moment.
The skill of Feng Baxing had reached a new level. Since Lin Mu himself had Earth element as his innate element, he could understand it the best. While the command of Feng Baxing on the Earth element wasn't necessarily as good as Lin Mu, but due to the uniqueness of the Six Winds Monarch technique, it had been elevated.
If Lin Mu were to compared it, he himself was proficient in the weight and toughness properties of the Earth element, while Feng Baxing's skill was proficient in the drying and eroding properties of the earth element.
It was honestly quite enlightening for Lin Mu as he didn't know earth element could have a property like this at all. It allowed Lin Mu to learn a lot more and also made him aware about his vulnerabilities.
'If not for this I wouldn't never figured it out that despite with the Earth element being my main, I am still weak to it.' Lin Mu thought to himself, carving it in his mind permanently.
"For an opponent like this, I need an offense equally stronger. HAA!" Lin Mu said before letting out a loud cry.
~MOOOOOOOOOO~
The illusory figure of the legless Tyrant Bull seemed infuriated and felt like it was being insulted.
The Desiccating Desert Gust grazed it too, causing its form to waver.
~HONG~LONG~
As if it had spurned a change in Lin Mu's body, a ma.s.sive pressure exuded? from him. The Tyrannical aura overflowed and? the totem of the tyrant bull on his back started to glow brightly.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
It started to greedily absorb the Immortal essence from Lin Mu's body. It was such a strong pull that it caused Lin Mu's stomach to activate!
Tens of thousands of obscure runes glowed on the surface of his stomach before turning into several rings of runes that floated around the stomach. They spun around it whiles releasing copious amounts of energies.
These energies were a mix of Immortal Qi as well as Immortal Essence. But in all this, Lin Mu also felt the overpowering Tyrannical aura mixed in which could only come from one source.
'The remnants of the Tyrant Bull Marrow! They are finally being absorbed!' Lin Mu realized.
When Lin Mu had consumed all the Tyrant Bull marrow before, not all of it had been used in the progress of the Tyrant Bull Marrow secrets. Even when he had consumed the Immortal Essence pills for the Three Vessels invocation technique, a part of the energy had still been stored.
"What is this. Ugh." The surge of energy was searing hot for Lin Mu and rushed through his veins as well as meridians.
In fact, it was so strong that it actually rushed out of Lin Mu's skin and created a thin layer of offense against the Desiccating Desert Gust.
Lin Mu no longer had to think about that but now needed to worry about the strange surge of energy that was filling his body. Even if it was being absorbed by the Totem of the Tyrant Bull, he could still feel that the energy was a bit too much.
'If this exceeds a certain limit, it'll injure me.' Lin Mu could not let that happen.
But just as he thought this a scarlet glob of energy was released by his stomach. This energy effortlessly merged into the turbulent energies and formed a gentle layer around them that mellowed out the impact.
'Huh this is familiar The Mutated Violet Mystic Life Tree?' Lin Mu could recognized the energy that was being mixed now.
Since he had clashed with it in the past, he could remember it very well. It was none other than the red mutated energy of the Violet Mystic Life Tree. Seeing this surge of the energy made him remember something.
'The lack of energy that the Violet Mystic Life Tree was showing in the Sleepscape as well as its sudden dormancy did it release this energy earlier and a part of it was kept by my stomach?' Lin Mu wondered.
Seeing its gentleness and ability to heal, Lin Mu didn't take much to realize that the Violet Mystic Life Tree might have a hand in his quick healing when he was being treated with the Buddhist technique
'No wonder I managed to heal that fast even if a part of the energy was absorbed, it seems like it is coming in handy now with the other energies.' Lin Mu reckoned.
He let it happen as there was no way Feng Baxing knew the state that Lin Mu was in. The man had no idea that his flurry of attacks had actually triggered his body cultivation technique to be taunted and come into action.
Lin Mu let it all happen and felt the power build up within his body. A few keen eyed people in the audience saw the change in the tyrant bull totem on Lin Mu's back.
It was now growing legs!
