Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 770 - Effect Of The Flaming Devastator And Future Growth



This was the move that Lin Mu had come up with. He had an inkling of what would happen if he added a bit of the fire attribute spirit Qi into it, but the effect was far more powerful than he had expected.

It was as if the catalytic change caused during the formation of the combined energy ribbon had turned it even more volatile. Lin Mu could feel the recoil of the attack in his hand as well.

While it was being shot out of his hand, his hand was also being pushed back at the same time. He had to put a lot of effort to counteract that or he felt like he would be sent shooting up into the sky.

"Argh!" Lin Mu gritted his teeth and held on.

The light was blinding, and he was forced to close his eyes, but his spirit sense was still working to keep his vision. The Flaming Devastator entered through the top of the Troll Demon beast's head and pierced through it easily.

Like a Thermic Lance piercing through solid concrete, it cleaved through the skull of the troll beast and went all the way through the body, before coming out from below. But its moment had not lessened at all.

It entered the ground below with even more ease and disappeared into the depths, its fate unknown. 

~shua~

~Sizzle~

With the attack completed, Lin Mu Blinked away as he heard several nasty sounds coming from the body of the Troll.

~Pop~ pop~

He then saw the eyes of the troll boil over and explode from the immense heat. A few more popping sounds could be heard coming from the inside of the body, but nothing spilled outside, most likely due to the fact that the channel from where the flaming devastator had entered had already been turned into solid ash.

~huu~huu~huu~

"That was… something else…" Lin Mu muttered as he took deep breaths.

He winced in pain and raised his right hand before taking a look at it. It was a rather gruesome sight as well. The bones of his knuckles were fully visible and were now charred black as well.

The flesh had been burned enough to turn black, but some of the more further parts were still a raw red. No blood oozed out, as it had been heated enough to either be dried or fully cauterized.

"Yeah… this is still not something my body can handle freely." Lin Mu said, taking a look at his injury.

For a normal person, an injury like this was crippling, if not deadly. After all, even if it was distant, a person would still die from the sheer pain and shock of it, not to mention the pain that would knock them out.

And if they were knocked out in an area like this, they would be a free meal for other beasts. 

But for Lin Mu, it was still something manageable. He took out a couple of healing pills and swallowed them down. He had a rather large stock of alchemical pills and herbs by now, and injuries such as these were just light at this point.

"This is rather unexpected. I thought your body would be able to resit it now that you have completed two treasured organs." Xukong said.

"I thought so too… but the power of this move was certainly too much. Even the armor of the Mortal Strengthening scripture collapsed the moment I used it." Lin Mu repelled.

"Hmm… how much did it take?" Xukong questioned.

"Since I didn't know how the effect would be, I used a little less than before. I used half of the fire attribute spirit Qi which was 2.5% of the total spirit Qi I had, then used 7.5% of the attribute less sprint Qi and 10% of the vital essence." Lin Mu answered.

"Huh… you've used it at thirty percent before too, right? 15% of spirit Qi and 15% of vital energy?" Xukong asked.

"I've used it, yes. But even while reducing the fuel, its power still increased. Seems like mixing in more types of energies increases its power by multiple times. But it also makes it far more volatile and hard to handle." Lin Mu replied.

"Seems like there might be a lot more to the Boulder Collapsing first than we earlier thought. I'm sure this technique is certainly not from a low leveled world… it's functionality is far too high for that." Xukong said.

"I think so too, senior Xukong. In fact, while combining the three energies, I felt like I learned something more." Lin Mu said, hesitating a bit.

"Eh? What did you learn?" Xukong asked.

"I… I think I know how to take the technique to the next level…" Lin Mu spoke.

"What?" Xukong was a bit surprised.

Lin Mu nodded his head and pulled out the old torn booklet from which he had readable the boulder collapsing fist. He flipped to the center of the book. While only the starting part of the booklet was fully intact, there were still some fragments of pages left in the center and in the end.

"I've read this before but didn't understand it back then. But now… I think I can kind of relate the words to the next stage of the technique. Of course… it'll take a long time before I can fully decipher it enough to learn on my own, but I now have a direction." Lin Mu explained.

Hearing this, Xukong was surprised once again.

'His comprehension ability is certainly higher than before… to extrapolate and learn without the next part and comprehend from something that he made on his own… I wonder just how his progress with the Dao will be in the future.' Xukong thought to himself but did not speak.

After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded his head and spoke again.

"Very well… you can comprehend it a bit more and try it out to see if it works. But seeing as how much damage it can cause… it might be better to wait till you get stronger.." Xukong suggested.
