Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 1890 Four Faceted Nebula Manifests

Lin Mu didn't know that the Spiral Flake Crystal would end up like this and had a rude awakening because of it.

"It broke entirely…" Lin Mu muttered, looking at the shards on his hand and on the ground.

"What happened?" Little Shrubby asked, having seen the crystal suddenly break.

He had seen Lin Mu practice using the crystal before and knew that it was important.

"I don't exactly know…" Lin Mu replied.

"It's because you've exhausted all the potential of the Spiral Flake Crystal." A voice was suddenly heard.

<nulli>~shua~

Lin Mu quickly turned to the source of the voice and saw a silvery grey orb appearing.

"Senior!" Lin Mu saw none other than Xukong appearing.

After all that waiting, Xukong had finally responded to his call. But upon seeing him, Lin Mu noticed something right away.

'His body… seems smaller than before.' Lin Mu observed.

"You should have experienced the boost in your Spatial Proficiency right? Also your sensitivity." Xukong asked.

"Yes… it grew slowly at first, but then when the crystal was just about to break it rapidly increased by 10%." Lin Mu answered.

"The Spiral Flake Crystal did its work. You managed to find its core and absorbed all the energy within. That is what improved your proficiency with the space." Xukong explained.

"So that's what it was…" Lin Mu finally understood.

"Indeed. The point of using the Spiral Flake Crystal was to train your perception to find the core. The core is constantly teleporting within the Spatial Flake Crystal's endless space and it takes high sensitivity to find it. When your perception is good enough that you can sense the core before its appearance, you'll be able to absorb it." Xukong elaborated further.

"I see… it does feel a lot faster for me now." Lin Mu said, looking around with his eyes.

Even in the Sleepscape, he could feel the faint spatial fluctuations. The ones around Xukong were especially prominent. The surprising thing though was that Lin Mu had never seen them before.

'But they should have always been there… it's only now that I am able to sense them.' He reckoned.

<nulli>~HONG~

But this was merely the start of the changes.

Lin Mu suddenly felt a burst of energy from his Dantian and the very space around him shook.

"Huh?" even Xukong was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.

<nulli>~SHUA~

A few moments later, a formless object flew out of Lin Mu's abdomen. It fluttered in the air as if it were a piece of fabric and was black with countless stars on it.

"Four Faceted Nebula!" Lin Mu saw his Spatial Dao Embryo manifesting.

<nulli>~flutter~

The Four Faceted Nebula Dao Embryo expanded and turned into a large sheet. The four colored stars twinkled in it as if it were the endless expanse of the space.

<nulli>~HUWA~

A strange low pitched voice was heard coming from the Dao Embryo and a depression appeared in its center.

<nulli>~WHOOSH~

A suction force rose from it, causing winds to whip up in the Sleepscape.

"What's happening?" Lin Mu was confused.

Thankfully, this was Sleepscape and its components couldn't be disturbed easily. The Violet Mystic Tree gently swayed from the winds, while the grass and soil below stayed stable. Even the immortal Qi within the air was not being affected, which was strange.

<nulli>~CRACK~

But a couple of seconds later, Lin Mu understood what was happening. Cracks appeared in the air, and silvery grey streaks of energy leaked out of it.

"GET BACK!" Xukong shouted, teleporting in front of Lin Mu.

<nulli>~ZIP~

But much to their shock, the Four Faceted Nebula was faster and directly pounced on the silvery grey energy streak. It wrapped it up and swallowed the streak in one go.

"It… it absorbed the Spatial Energy?!" Lin Mu was stunned.

"No… that wasn't Spatial Energy. That was Spatial elemental Immortal Qi." Xukong corrected. "They might look similar, but their intensities are vastly different." He added.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and confirmed Xukong's words. They didn't seem as strong or dangerous as the silvery grey streaks from the void.

<nulli>~WHOOSH~

Another streak shot out from the crack and the Four Faceted Nebula rushed to consume it as well.

It was like the Dao Embryo was a net and was catching the carps that tried to jump out of the water.

Lin Mu put more distance between him and the Dao Embryo, while Little Shrubby and the Yin Yang Twin Serpents did the same.

The beasts could sense the threat instinctively and had moved without Lin Mu having to tell them.

Little Shrubby jumped to one of the branches of the Violet Mystic Life Tree fifty meters above, while the Twins wrapped themselves around one of the jutting crystals from its trunk and watched carefully.

<nulli>~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

<nulli>~ZIP~ZIP~ZIP~

The Four Faceted Nebula kept zipping around the area and captured each of the Spatial Elemental Immortal Qi that was shot out from the spatial crack.

"Looks like the Spatial Crack leads to the Lesser Void." Xukong had determined the level of the spatial crack.

<nulli>~Phew~

"If it's lesser void, then it is not as bad." Lin Mu took a breath of relief.

He was familiar with Lesser Void and would be able to deal with any accident that happened. However it seemed unlikely, as the Dao Embryo seemed a lot more eager to do it on its own.

"Do you feel any change?" Xukong questioned. "In the Dao Embryo?"

"Right now… no. I can feel the link still, but it is not under my control." Lin Mu replied, furrowing his brows.

"Hmm… this is concerning," Xukong muttered. "Since it is a unique Dao Embryo that has never existed before, it is impossible to tell what it can do." Even he was at a loss.

They could only watch as the Four Faceted Nebula continued to consume all the Spatial Elemental Immortal Qi.

Minute after minute passed, and Lin Mu could see the size of the Dao Embryo grow bit by bit.
