Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2415 A Bloody Lake And A Hopeful Outcome

Chapter 2415  A b.l.o.o.d.y Lake And A Hopeful Outcome

The Emperor heard her words and knew that his attempt was going to be a miss from the start.

~Sigh~

"I shall not bother you anymore." The Emperor stated. "But if you need anything… anything at all. Please do not hesitate to ask. Even if we are in the middle of a war, the Dao Wind Empire will do everything to please you." He offered.

"I'll keep that in mind." The Saintess said before disappearing from their sights.

They knew this was their signal of being dismissed, and as such, they all left.

After all, other than Lin Mu, there were still other big things they needed to deal with.

They all got embroiled in it and time pa.s.sed.

The cheerful spring jumped into the bright summer, which transitioned into the mellow autumn before finally turning into the cold winter, as an entire year pa.s.sed.

Battles raged across the Rust Sky World, as many fought for their lives. And yet, Lin Mu slept silently within the lake of blood.

He knew nothing of all that was happening in the world, nor what the Saintess had done for him.

All he knew was bouts of pain, states of silent unconsciousness, and vibrant dreams that brought him to a myriad of places.

It repeated endlessly for Lin Mu, as time pa.s.sed for him too.

Another year went by as the lake remained unchanged.

In the third year, another pile of corpses and herbs were added to the lake, raising its water level even more.

In the fourth year though, the water level had seemingly returned to normal. And in the fifth year, it continued as the water level fell below what it used to be originally.

As such, in the sixth year more corpses and herbs were added, raising it higher again.

This cycle repeated until it was finally the tenth year!

In this year, a strange phenomenon happened.

~HONGLONG~

The calm blood lake suddenly started to seethe and churn. It spun around a single point in the middle of the lake, as if it were the eye of a storm.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

And it wasn't just the lake water either, as a b.l.o.o.d.y mist rose above it and filled the skies. This too spun, turning it into a b.l.o.o.d.y storm that looked horrifying from the distance.

The people of the Capital City that all witnessed this from the city center were left stunned.

"What is that!?"

"A Storm of Blood!"

"Heavens save us! Is the capital being attacked!?" To the people outside the Imperial Place, knowledge about Lin Mu and the lake was kept hidden as such the sudden change was shocking. The barrier of clouds and winds obscured their sight, but it didn't totally hide it from them. Especially when the b.l.o.o.d.y mist rose as high as two kilometers into the sky.

A few people who had been keeping a watch on the lake were alarmed upon seeing this.

"The lake is changing!" Daoist Chu stood up from his post as he watched it. "Perhaps this might be it…" Monk Hushu muttered.

The two had been keeping a watch on the lake voluntarily while the others did other work.

"Should we inform the Honored Celestial?" Daoist Chu asked.

"You think she doesn't know?" Monk Hushu replied. "Look," he pointed towards the top of the lake.

Daoist Chu narrowed his eyes and saw a small dot appearing there. It was a bit obscure due to the b.l.o.o.d.y storm, but if he focused hard enough, he could make out the figure of a woman with long red hair.

"Oh, she's already there." Daoist Chu muttered.

The Saintess had long since sensed the change and quickly went to check.

She watched the b.l.o.o.d.y storm for a few minutes before letting out a small smile.

"Looks like you are doing better." She said before sending out a message to the Emperor to procure more corpses.

While all this happened, Lin Mu's consciousness was currently in the middle of a dream.

"HAA!" he swung his sword and slashed at a herd of beasts. Cutting ten of them in a row, he felt danger from behind and quickly exerted force onto his legs. Clouds suddenly rose from his legs as he spun in the air, a trail of pure white clouds being left behind as he propelled himself at a great speed.

His form was obscured by the clouds, as he ran around the herd, cutting down on them one by one.

But just as he was about to hit the last beast, his sword simply pa.s.sed through the beast as if it were air.

"Huh?" Lin Mu was surprised by this before he saw that his hand was turning ethereal. "Wait… it's ending already?" he looked at the rest of his body and saw that it was turning ethereal too.

'That's strange, it has never ended this abruptly before… at least not since meeting that uncannily familiar woman and the armored man.' He thought to himself.

Still, he couldn't do much, so let it happen.

His consciousness faded away for a brief time before quickly reforming.

"Another dream so fast?" Lin Mu found himself standing atop a gra.s.sy land.

~rustle~rustle~rustle~

A gentle breeze blew as he felt the rustling of leaves behind him.

Turning around, he saw a tall tree standing there.

"What's this?" Lin Mu didn't recognize it at first before spotting the red and green fruits hanging on it. "Wait… apples? IMMORTAL APPLES!?" his eyes went wide.

~RUSTLE~ RUSTLE~

Upon his exclamation, the tree seemingly 'woke' up to and extended its branches towards him. Lin Mu let it happen and watched as the branches 'hugged' him.

"Is this… real?" Lin Mu had no idea if he was still in a dream or not.

He tried to remember if he had seen the Immortal apple tree ever before in previous dreams but realized that it had never appeared.

"If this is here, then… am I in the…" Lin Mu turned around, a smile appearing on his face.

"You're finally here." A familiar voice that was like the best of music hit Lin Mu's ears.
