Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2182 Peak Sword Intent

Chapter 2182  Peak Sword Intent

The power of Ocean Raker's new skill proved to be no less than Afternoon Pine's.

On some level, the damage caused by Great Ocean Rake was even greater, since it fully covered the area and unleashed its power on it.

Unlike it, Great Slaughter Pine actually targeted the foes specifically and didn't necessarily damage the area with the attacks.

If one had to differential, Great Slaughter Pine was an enemy only targeted skill while the Great Ocean Raker was an expansive area of effect attack that targeted everything within the range.

With two great skills added to his repertoire along with the improvements of his swords, Lin Mu felt quite great. The aura of slaughter and sword intent complemented each other, urging Lin Mu to continue his work.

~HUMM~HUMM~

"You two want to hunt more? Very well then!" Lin Mu said before flying towards the beasts that were over nine kilometers away.

His two skills had wiped out a lot of the eerie beasts and brought their numbers down to the fifty percent mark. Of course Crown Prince Feng Shun and others had contributed to this too, but their combined contribution might not even be enough to reach ten percent.

It just showed how effective and powerful Lin Mu's skills had been.

They were left awed as well as concerned through as Lin Mu's behavior seemed to be quite different.

"What has happened to him?" Crown Princess Shang couldn't help but ask. "Even when he fought before he wasn't this… Wild." She added.

"That's not all, the Slaughter Aura coming from him isn't normal either. It isn't something one can gather in a short time… the amount he's emanating almost feels like he's slaughtered a hundred armies." Daoist Chu spoke. "Not to mention, gathering Slaughter Aura is different than maintaining it.

We've killed a lot of creatures too, but we haven't maintained that aura of Slaughter." He added.

Crown Prince Feng Shun could nod in response finding it quite concerning.

"I've quite certainly killed more beings than Daoist Mu Lin, and yet the Slaughter Aura he has is quite deep. The only others I've felt with an aura like that are either generals who live to battle, or a.s.sa.s.sins who live to kill." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "It also doesn't make sense when Daoist Mu Lin has a high affinity to the Buddhist path. He has a pure Buddhist aura to himself, which should have purged that Slaughter Aura over time. For the Slaughter Aura to still be present means that either he had a far greater Slaughter Aura that has been reduced by the Buddhist aura and is stills great. Or… The Slaughter Aura was simply unaffected." Monk Hushu spoke up.

The people talked about Lin Mu and his current state for a couple of minutes, while Lin Mu continued his slaughter. More beasts were killing by the second and they could visibly see their numbers falling. "That child… He might be at the precipice of a breakthrough as a swordsman." Elder Hu suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Ziran asked.

"This is something usually Sword Cultivators go through. But when they reach a certain state and their connecting with their sword grows, they'll experience a change.

The link between man and sword will deepen and their emotions will mix. In that state, the man and sword will become one and unleash a greater power than before. But it is only a temporary thing and what happens next will be crucial.

If the cultivator is unable to maintain his control over the sword, and gives into the sword's desires he'll lose his mind. He might become totally controlled by the Sword and even gain a Sword Heart Devil. But if he is able to maintain his control, he'll solidify the connection and not only improve his own Sword Intent but also grow the sword's power. He'll achieve Peak Sword Intent." Elder Hu explained in detail. "Daoist Mu Lin has been at the Advanced Sword Intent level so far."

"Peak Sword Intent…" They all muttered the name.

It was a level that not many could reach. For Immortals even reaching Intermediate Sword Intent was a bit thing and could greatly increase their power. Unless one was specifically focused on sword, they would have a very hard time reaching the intermediate level.

In fact this could be achieved in the Spirit realm too and those that were talented and focused on sword could reach unto the Intermediate level and a few lucky ones could hit the Advanced level too.

But most that became immortals had a hard time reaching the advanced level from the intermediate level. Only those well versed in swords and the Sword Dao would be able to do this.

But Lin Mu wasn't exactly focused on the sword. In fact, he didn't even have a Sword Dao Embryo. He had versatile skills that were from various paths, as such he shouldn't have been able to reach this point. And yet he had gone past it, almost reaching the Peak Sword Intent!

"Daoist Mu Lin…" Lady Kang muttered as she looked over at him.

Lin Mu continued to slaughter the eerie beasts without caring for anything else. His eyes carried confidence in them while his face held a murderous grin.

If a normal person were to watch him right now, they would only think of him as an evil rogue cultivator that had come to devastate a land.

"Will Daoist Mu Lin be able to get through this? And can we do anything for him?" Qiao De asked.

"We shouldn't interfere. At least not until, he shows signs of failing." Elder Hu stated. "Any effort at interfering or stopping an backfire, even pushing him into developing a Heart Devil more." He warned.

"Amitabha, I believe with the Buddhist path behind him, Daoist Mu Lin will be firm. A sword cannot stand in the path of the Buddha." Monk Hushu said with full confidence.

Ziran nodded in response as he felt the same.
