Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2335 A Familiar Baleful Energy

Chapter 2335  A Familiar Baleful Energy

Lin Mu and the others saw the grey wisps, as a few thoughts came to their mind.

"So it did come from—" But before Lin Mu could finish his words, another tiny grey wisp came out from none other than the Tracking tool!

"Huh?" Daoist Chu was surprised by this too but found the cube to have stopped moving. "Wait… is that why it was malfunctioning?" he wondered.

The tiny grey wisp joined up with the rest of the grey wisp and coalesced into a fist sized ball of energy. Xiao Yin didn't consume it since Lin Mu and the others needed to know what it was.

"How peculiar…" Crown Prince Feng Shun got closer to observe it and used his Immortal sense on the energy.

~SCREECH~

Doing that was not the best decision though as the Grey energy ball seemingly reacted by lashing back.

A screeching sound was heard as a worm like tentacle bit at the Immoral Sense tendril of Crown Prince Feng Shun.

"What the!?" The man couldn't retract it in time and found a part of the Immortal Sense tendril being cut off.

Of course this much was not enough to cause him damage, but it certainly gave him pain. Though this was still concerning for him, as at his cultivation base, there weren't many things that could damage his Immortal sense this easily.

"Get back!" Lin Mu shouted, as searing hot energy flew out his hands. "Magma Fury!" The Searing hot energy turned into a magma claw that clamped around the grey energy ball and started to squish it.

~HISS~

~SCREECH~

Horrible sounds came from the grey energy ball as if hundreds of insects were being crushed and burned. They didn't last long though, as about a few seconds later it had all been burned away into nothingness.

~huu~

Lin Mu took a breath after that and quickly checked upon Crown Prince Feng Shun.

"Are you alright?" He asked. "Is there any damage to your Immortal sense or more?" he said with great concern.

"I'm fine…" Crown Prince Feng Shun replied, but found Lin Mu's behavior to be a bit strange. "Why are you… wait, do you know what this is?" he realized.

"Yes." Lin Mu said, his expression turning serious. "This is a Baleful Energy… The Withering Immortal Qi." He revealed.

"Withering Immortal Qi?" the ones who were present in the Capital City of the Dao Wind Empire during the Tournament soon realized what it was.

"This can't be… isn't this what Yao Changying used?!?" Crown Princess Shang shouted in shock.

"Yes…" Lin Mu who had a close encounter with the energy confirmed. "It is possibly one of the worst Baleful Energies and is even more virulent than the Death Qi in some aspects." He explained.

Having experienced both of them, Lin Mu could tell that while the Withering Qi was weaker than the Death Qi overall, it was still faster to act and could bypa.s.s defenses better. Though he also guessed that this was due to the application of them Withering Qi.

'The Death Qi here is in a more 'neutral' state of existence while the Withering Qi was being utilized in a technique as an offense. As such, its properties were enhanced and were stronger.' Lin Mu understood.

If Death Qi could be used in a technique to attack, its power would certainly be greater than the Withering Qi. This was also why the Chimera Plant was such a threat, as it had absorbed a lot of it and continued to do so to make Chimeric Beasts.

Right now they hadn't seen any Chimeric Beast use the Death Qi offensively, but there was no guarantee they would later. Plus, it was not a Qi that could be used by most beings anyways.

Even if one could manipulate it, there would be limitations on it, as could be seen from the Chimera Plant. It had managed to increase its durability to a crazy extent, but had not used it to directly attack as of yet. Additionally, it had enhanced the Chimeric Beasts, allowing them to undergo berserk when injured beyond a limit and increase their strength to the next cultivation stage. It was a very strong ability and considering that the Chimera Plant could add this to multiple Chimeric Beasts was very concerning and showed the power of the Death Qi.

"How is something like this even present here?" Qiao De couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know…" Lin Mu replied.

"Is it possible it has been here since before? After all, there are other Baleful energies present in this Spatial Plane too." Ziran wondered.

He had not been in the Rust Sky world, thus didn't know just how Yao Changying had fought.

"While that is a possibility, it does nothing that'll explain why there were traces both inside the Offering hall as well as here in the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast." Monk Hushu said after thinking about it. "That's true, no Baleful energy would be able to enter the offering hall normally." Lady Kang spoke. "Only way something like that would be possible is if someone controlled it or had something with it." She added.

This gave the group quite a bit to think about and they wondered what the relation between the Cyclopean Chimeric beast and this baleful energy was.

"One thing is for sure though, there is certainly a reason why the chimeric beast was staying here at the Offering Hall and it is linked to the baleful energy." Lin Mu stated. "The people inside are also part of it and with all the Dark energy we've sensed means they have a higher involvement." He added.

"It can't be that b.i.t.c.h Yao Changying is here, right?" Crown Princess Shang thought of something that bordered on absurd, yet possible.

Hearing that Lin Mu frowned, but couldn't throw it out of the consideration.

"We don't know yet… Plus Yao Changying had escaped and no signs of her leaving the Dao Wind Continent were found." Lin Mu replied after thinking for a minute.
