Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2309  Taxing Cut And A Sudden Discovery

Lin Mu's body was tough, and even if his True Gold Body was no longer good enough to endure immortal level attacks, it could block minor attacks with ease. Not to mention, it would activate at a moments notice and endure it.

At most, it would break, and the damage would finally be passed onto his body. And this was considering the Longgui Bulwark armor didn't activate in time, which Lin Mu usually did within the fraction of a second. But he hadn't been able to this time due to the sheer speed of the fragment.

"I'll have to be careful with that. The force of the Penetrator needle is far too high. It hit the fragment and turned it into sharp arrow." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he healed the cut on his cheek.

Thankfully even if he had sustained the damage, his vitality was nor than enough to heal it. The cut stopped bleeding and scabbed over. It would take a day or so for the scab to be gone, but the skin would still heal fast.

But it did serve as a warning for Lin Mu, as he now knew just how dangerous it could be if he didn't take more precautions.

~SHUA~

Keeping that in mind, he activated the Longgui Bulwark Armor and let it cover his entire body.

"I best keep this on at all times." Lin Mu muttered to himself before trying to pluck out the Bark Fragment from the wall.

It had been lodged about four meters deep, thus Lin Mu had to use Meld to pull it out without damaging the rest of the wall.

Holding it in his well protected hand, Lin Mu looked at the Bark Fragment.

"Hmm… There is a tiny mark." Lin Mu could barely see it. As such he used his Immortal sense to get a proper look at it, only to find that it was less than a micrometer deep.

'Penetrator worked somewhat, but couldn't pierce through. At most it 'dented' it.' Lin Mu observed. 'But this won't be good at all. I used Penetrator at point blank range and this was the effect, if I use it normally with the Chimera Plant it probably wouldn't do much at all. Even increasing the power of the skill won't be good.' He thought.

Holding the Bark Fragment in his hand, Lin Mu thought of another option.

~SHUA~

The Fragment started to float above his palm as he used Meld on it. He controlled it finely, increasing the force bit by bit. And yet, the fragment held steadfast despite the very fabric of space trying to divide it. Lin Mu's eyes widened as he continued to increase the power of his skill.

It took an entire five minutes before the Bark Fragment started splitting it in half! This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lin Mu's eyes were bloodshot by this time as the strain had been too high.

~THUD~

He collapsed to the ground, before starting to pant.

"Haa… HAA… HAA…" Lin Mu almost couldn't believe the amount of power it had taken him. "It split… but the power and time needed is too high." He muttered to himself.

He glanced at the divided fragment and the smooth edges that had been created from it. 'When I tried Meld on the Chimera Plant, the skill simply refused to work due to the sheer quantity of Death Qi within the plant. But now that the bark is separate from the plant, it is usable again. Though despite that the Qi needed to use Meld is simply too high on it.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Normally speaking, Spatial Skills were capable of splitting almost everything. But there were materials that could resist that too. Usually this was done through the means of arrays or special tools, but the fragment of the Chimera Plant was unique.

'I suppose it makes sense for it to have such an ability to resist spatial skills. Otherwise in the past, it would have still been cut down by the Spatial Masters.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Though I suppose not all Chimera Plants would be like this as this one has been nurtured on a high concentration of Death Qi.' He corrected his assumption.

He was facing a unique specimen that not many had faced even in the age when there were thousands upon thousands of Chimera Plant. It was another testament to the capabilities of the Chimeric Fiend God since he was capable of making a plant such as this.

~huu~

"This is certainly not the viable option, I'll have to think of something else." Lin Mu took a deep breath and stood up.

He cleaned up the broken table and picked up the other fragments that had fallen down due to the table's collapse.

But when he was picking them up, he noticed something.

"Wait a second…" Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, as saw a fine notch on one of the fragments. He notch was tiny, being less than half a millimeter deep. In fact, it would have been easy to miss it and think that it was created when the Fragment broke from the rest of the plant. But Lin Mu was sure this was not there before. Not to mention the cut was far too smooth.

~SHUA~

He used his Immortal sense to scan and and could feel the smoothness of the cut. "How did this… wait, can it be?" An idea appeared in Lin Mu's mind as he checked the fragment he had split in half. He scanned all of its edges before finding one that seemed to fit the notch that had been made in the other fragment.

"The Bark Fragment Damaged the other fragment?" Lin Mu almost couldn't believe it. 'It certainly happened when it was flicked and cut through the table. It must have also nicked the other fragment in the process.' He guessed.

And as he observed the nicked fragment, he realized another thing. "This is a root fragment and not a Bark fragment…" As soon as he understood this, it all clicked to Lin Mu.
