Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2256  Eruption Of Speed

Little Shrubby's Seven Beast Burst Innate skill was incredible and would enhance all of his abilities by several levels.

But doing that would also exhaust him greatly, and force him into a dormant state. The last time Little Shrubby had used the skill, it had turned him into a seed and left him dormant for years. All that had happened in the Xiaofan World when Little Shrubby wasn't even in the Immortal realm. And now that he was an Immortal beast, his strength had increased by several levels and the same could be said for his bloodline.

As such, the Innate Skill had improved too and there was no telling how great its exhaustion would be at the end.

There were many possibilities to it. There was a chance that Little Shrubby might be totally fine and wouldn't enter a dormant state at all. But there was also a chance that he would fall into a long dormant state that might take many years to overcome.

Lin Mu didn't want to take that chance right now.

After all, they weren't out of all options and they could silt let through it on their own.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

Little Shrubby increased his speed as much as he could while dodging the fissures and the Death Qi geysers.

The twins were also working hard, using their senses to the maximum. They could sense the Death Qi better now that they had been at it for a while and were able to inform Lin Mu earlier. This allowed Little Shrubby to avoid the fissures beforehand and gave him plenty of time to change directions. That way, he wouldn't have to slow down as much and could maintain his speed for a longer time.

"How far are we?" Daoist Chu asked.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu took out the map he had enhanced and checked their location, finding it to be at least two hundred kilometer away.

"Close, but still distant." Lin Mu replied. "We have to go around in circles, so the distance is much longer." He added.

"The fissures are also increasing in frequency. And from how it's going, I think it is also reducing the paths we can take." Ziran said after having observed it all this time. "If this keeps up, we might be trapped before we reach the base." Daoist Chu stated.

"Is there anyway we can get there?" Qiao De asked. "We can defend ourselves if we are in the base, right?" he knew that the defenses they had set up would work against the Death Qi too and keep them safe for a while.

"We will be safe there, yes. But getting there is still difficult." Lin Mu replied before a thought appeared in his mind. "Unless… it is just me." He stated.

Hearing this, Lady Kang had a thought too. "Can't you… Go there first and secure a way for us to get back?" Lady Kang knew Lin Mu's spatial skills could allow him to skip all this. He had only been with them since they wouldn't be able to get through all this alone for long.

"I can, yes… But I don't know how long it'll take for me to set this up." Lin Mu replied. "We have the arrays set up, so I'll need to make some changes to them to secure our entry." He added.

"You should go." Crown Prince Feng Shun suddenly said. "We'll also continue as we are right now. If we are lucky, we might just reach there on our own, or you might finish securing our path." He said, after thinking for a bit.

"That is… Certainly an option." Lin Mu replied, but wasn't sure of it. "But it is also risky." He added.

"If it is Daoist Mu Lin, I believe you'll be able to do it." Monk Hushu said with great faith. "Yeah, we are still capable enough to hold out on our own." Ziran added.

"If we can't deal with even this much, it would have been far too foolish of us to come here." Crown Princess Shang added. "We already knew the kind of risk we would be putting ourselves in when we came to this inheritance ground." She spoke.

Hearing all that, Lin Mu wondered if he really should do it. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

~hiss~

It was now that the twins suggested something to him. "Yes! That can work." Lin Mu got a solution from that. "I'll leave Xiao Yin and Little Shrubby with you all. They'll continue guiding you back, while I head back with Xiao Yang first." He stated.

"Hmm, the two will be able to help us greatly." Lady Kang nodded, knowing their abilities. "Go!" Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "It's best you leave now." He said firmly.

"Best make haste." Elder Hu agreed. ~shua~

"Very well." Lin Mu said before sending Xiao Yang into the Sleepscape.

~WHOOSH~

Then in the next moment, he jumped off Little Shrubby's back and disappeared into nothingness!

The group was a bit surprised, but knew that it was just Lin Mu using his spatial skills.

"I can never comprehend how he does that." Daoist Chu muttered, a thought that was echoed by several others.

~shua~

Lin Mu appeared in the parallel dimension, having used Fade.

"Can't waste any second." Lin Mu stomped on the ground and gathered strength in his legs that bulged with power.

~BOOM~

~CRACK~

The ground caved under his legs as he burst forward with great speed!

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

He further increased his speed, causing sonic booms in the air as he soared towards where the base was supposed to be.

This left a trail of destruction in his wake as the ground and anything that was in the path were destroyed. Whether it be hills, ruins, rocks or anything else, they were all reduced to smithereens from the sheer force of his flight.

"Not enough." But Lin Mu was not satisfied by just the speed of his flight. He needed to be much faster than that to reach the place. Lin Mu's mind worked as he thought of methods to improve his speed.

~SHUA~

Searing hot energy was released from his body, as if the fires of a volcano were surrounding him. "Longgui Bulwark Armor!" Lin Mu's body pulsed with power as the searing energy gathered below his legs. "Magma Fury: Eruption!" ~BOOM~

It was as if Lin Mu's body had turned into a volcano that was erupting. His legs spewed out flames that pushed his speed to the next level, as if he were a missile soaring through the skies!

The concentrate jet of fire steadily continued to accelerate Lin Mu's body, and he only needed to maintain his direction. 'This is the fastest I've gone on my own, perhaps.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Though it does cost quite a bit of immortal Qi.' He estimated that he was losing at least 0.1% of his Immortal Qi every second that he was maintaining this state.

0.1% might seem small, but when one considered just how high Lin Mu's Immortal Qi capacity was, the number was massive.

And this was being continually used. If he maintained this state for a minute, he would have used six percent of his entire immortal Qi stores. And this was after they had been improved earlier by the inheritance ground's reward.

'Ten minutes of this speed… would allow me to travel very far at the cost of depleting over half of my Immortal Qi stores.' Lin Mu wondered if spending 60% of his Immortal Qi stores would be worth it or not.

But he didn't have to spend that much, as it only took him half a minute to reach his destination!

It was at this point that he realized a flaw in his plan.

"I can't stop… shit." Lin Mu's eyes went wide as the skill came to an end.

~CRASH~

Lin Mu struck the barrier of the mountain base, shattering through the layers as if they were glass.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

But that did slow him down rather fast, albeit at the cost of rocking his skull and turning the Longgui Bulwark Armor into shattered fragments.

"Ugh… Need to figure out a solution for that next time." Lin Mu held his head as he felt the world spinning for a second. If not for the fact the Longgui Bulwark Armor had taken the brunt of the impact and his body was strong, he would have certainly gotten a nasty concussion and been injured.

Any other immortals would have broken most of their bones in the impact and perhaps even more.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a deep breath as he gathered his wits and observed the area.

"Sure enough, the arrays held up against the fissures." Lin Mu could see several fissures around them, as well as the Death Qi geysers.

They were surrounding the mountain in such a way that only two paths were actually open for them to enter.

'They were right. If I did stick with them, we wouldn't have been able to enter by the time we reached it.' He thought.
