Chapter 2207  The Death Qi Boundary's Effects

Crown Prince Feng Shun's words were a bit surprising to Lin Mu.

"Only hundred meters?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "That's a bit small for the Chimeric beasts to be affected, isn't it?" he asked.

It was a distance that the Chimeric Beasts would be able to cross simply by jumping over, not to mention that they could fly over it too. Though most of them seemed to have their own preferences as to how they fought, with those having the body types of a land animal preferring to fight on land.

As such, just a hundred meter limit seemed a bit too small overall.

"We thought the same, but the effect on the Chimeric Beasts seem to be a lot more intense. They don't even think about trying that." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

"Hmm… This can be used to our advantage perhaps." Lin Mu muttered to himself. "Has anyone tried to go through the boundary before?" he asked next.

"We didn't try… It didn't seem wise to do so." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.

"It won't be good to touch the Death Qi ourselves after all. Even with our cultivation base, it can very well corrupt our flesh and Qi." Elder Hu warned.

"That is true." The others agreed.

"I can still try." Lin Mu was not discouraged though. "I've already had a close encounter with it before, so I do know how to repel it for now." He stated.

"You sure you are going to do it?" Lady Kang couldn't help but ask in concern.

"It is better to know now the consequences of coming in contact with it, than when we inevitably end up doing it without meaning to." Lin Mu replied. "We never know what can happen in the heat of the battle." He added.

"Daoist Mu Lin's words are accurate." Ziran said in agreement. "I've had some encounters with Death Qi, and while it can be really deadly, with some precautions we can at least resist it." He added.

"I'll try it now then." Lin Mu said, making everyone take a breath.

~HUU~

They all watched with bated breaths as Lin Mu extended his hand towards the Death Qi boundary. The boundary was flickering every so often, as if a black smoke was rising from the ground. Though it didn't exactly sway like normal smoke did even though there was wind here. It showed that the Death Qi itself had different properties and the flickering was merely a byproduct of it rising from the ground.

~HISS~

As soon as Lin Mu's fingertip touched the surface of the Death Qi Boundary, a hissing sound was heard. It was similar to a globule of water sizzling up on a hot pan. ~HUMM~

But as they all watched, Lin Mu's finger suddenly started to glow in a yellow light.

"What's that?" Crown Prince Feng Shun wondered.

"A defensive skill?" Daoist Chu tilted his head.

"Has he ever used it before?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"I don't think so." Daoist Chu shook his head.

"Metal elemental Qi… It is quite dense too." Elder Hu said seeing the yellow glow on Lin Mu's body. "Its coating his body." He stated. "Is he just using Metal elemental Qi for the defense?" Crown Princess Shang wondered.

"No… that's not it." Crown Prince Feng Shun soon noticed something different.

"Indeed… that's not a normal Qi skill." Lady Kang noticed it by now too. "It is a Body Refining technique." She added. "A Body refining technique?" Ziran narrowed his eyes as he took a closer look.

What Lin Mu was using or rather his body had activated was none other than the True Gold Body Forging Arts. It was still present in his body but was rarely activated as he had the Longgui Bulwark Armor.

Though it did provide a pa.s.sive defense boost to Lin Mu at all times, it was just that it wasn't fully apparent until a certain amount of force was applied.

And right now, since Lin Mu was holding back using the Longgui Bulwark Armor, his golden body due to the True Gold Body forging Arts was aromatically activated.

~HONG~

Lin Mu maintained his focus and used his Immortal Sense to finely observe what was happening to his finger.

'The Death Qi is trying to penetrate but my golden body is preventing it from doing so right now.' Lin Mu observed. 'It is quite similar to the Baleful energy in this regard.' He recalled the last time he had done this in the Blood Strewn Battlefield.

He watched as the Death Qi slowly started to corrode the golden surface of his finger.

'So it only needs a bit of time to do this… its stronger than the Baleful Qi in this regards.' Lin Mu understood. 'But what if I further reinforce it with some Metal elemental Qi?' he wondered.

Intending to try it out, Lin Mu channeled the Metal elemental immortal Qi into his finger.

~HONG~

As soon as he did, the rate of corrosion slowed down and in a few seconds it even started to reverse. "Hmm… So I can resist it this way." Lin Mu muttered.

But this was just the start, Lin Mu had merely touched upon the surface. His finger wasn't even one centimeter inside the Death Qi boundary.

"Time to probe deeper." He said before pushing his finger in two centimeters.

The group watched as Lin Mu did experiments on his own body.

It was a bit shocking to them, as they themselves wouldn't really attempt something so risky like this. They were cultivators and knew that taking risks was innately necessary for their growth. But they also knew the situations in which they should take risks.

For example, they would take risks in their cultivation, and test out some new theories and methods that might help them progress faster. This was a risk that would bring them benefits, thus they felt justified in doing this.

Or there was the case of coming to an expedition like the one they were in.
