Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu watched the corpse of the Eleventh prince, ensuring that he really was dead and there were no tricks left.

After all, even with the Nascent Soul erased, there were still certain skills or weapons that could attack one's enemies after death. Such items were used for mutual destruction and there was always a chance that the prince might have them.

With his identity and fortune, it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain them either.

Only after Lin Mu was a hundred percent sure did he release the Great Shield from the man's corpse.

~SHUA~

"The Seven Heavens Divine Armor hasn't disappeared?" Lin Mu was surprised.

He had thought that it should have deactivated automatically after the death of the man, and yet here it was still lingering.

"No wait... it's weaker." Lin Mu could see that the energy fluctuations from it had greatly reduced.

Even the lightning arc circling on the crown and the flames had dimmed down. It looked like the armor would soon disappear.

~humm~

And sure enough, just a minute later the armor faded away revealing the appearance of the prince's body.

Leaving his head, the rest of his body had basically been flattened. Despite having worn the armor, the effect of the Aspect of Heaviness was still applied equally on him. This had led to his body being crushed with the extra weight from the armor being added.

The Dao Skill was certainly deadly, when used own the right kind of target.

'Though the energy consumption is also higher...' Lin Mu sensed his body, finding it to be at barely 20% stores.

While he still had his Vitality and Immortal Essence, the immortal Qi in his body had greatly fallen. Not to mention, Lin Mu's mind felt rather tired right now, having been exhausted mentally as well.

After all, using two Dao Skills in conjunction while also targeting multiple objects was not easy. With the level of focus it required, many others would have failed a long time ago and collapsed.

"Ugh!" But just as Lin Mu was watching the corpse of the prince, he felt a sharp pain in his head.

He couldn't help but grasp it, finding the pain to be rising.

"What even..." Lin Mu felt like his head was going to explode.

~HUMM~

But at that moment, the ring on his hand let out a humming sound. The sound entered Lin Mu's ears and made him feel better. The pain disappeared after a few seconds, allowing Lin Mu to calm down.

"What was that..." Lin Mu was at a loss as he looked at the ring in his hand.

What he did not expect was the most shocking moment of his life so far-- The Ring was moving on his hand!

~SHUA~

"NO!" Lin Mu cried out seeing that the ring was actually leaving his finger.

Ever since he had gotten the mysterious ring, it had never left Lin Mu's finger. It had taken a strange form, and Lin Mu couldn't even remove it from his finger if he wanted to. Other than him, only Xukong could see it thus it was difficult to tell the functioning of the ring.

But now after fourteen years of obtaining the ring, it had left his hand!

~HUM~

The grey ring flew off at a great speed, making Lin Mu unable to catch it.

But just as Lin Mu's heart was about to jump out of his chest, he saw the ring stop. It hovered in mid-air and kept on spinning.

~HONG~

A resonant hum was emanated from its body and spread in the area.

'What's happening?' Lin Mu was truly lost now.

Even Xukong who was watching it all was confused. After all, he was inside the ring and it was now separated from Lin Mu.

"Don't worry, the ring is still linked to you." Xukong assured Lin Mu. "If it was not linked, we would not have been able to talk now." He explained.

"It is?" Lin Mu felt a bit relieved, but didn't know if he could fully ease up.

He wouldn't feel calm until the ring was back on his finger.

"Wait for it. I think the ring might be doing something." Xukong said.

As much as Lin Mu wanted to snatch the ring back, he decided to trust Senior Xukong's words and held on.

~HUALA~

Upon doing this, he noticed a cluster of lights flashing at the bottom of his vision.

"Huh?" Lin Mu looked down and saw that the cluster of light was coming from none other than the eleventh prince's hand!

"How is..." Lin Mu had a shocking thought in his mind, but he did not dare think further.

The thought was simply too unbelievable to him after all.

Gone was the rage and burning desire that he had been feeling so far. All that was left in Lin Mu's heart was now confusion and anxiety.

Lin Mu looked closer and saw his thought coming closer to reality.

"No way..." Lin Mu said in an airy voice.

The cluster of lights on the prince's corpse turned into a ring on his finger!

The ring was now resonating along with Lin Mu's own ring and some kind of interaction was happening between them.

Lin Mu watched it all with wide open eyes as the ring on the prince's hand too flew out.

~SHUA~

The ring flew up and hovered next to Lin Mu's ring.

"The two... they are similar." Lin Mu said, his voice shaking.

Just like Lin Mu's ring, the other ring too had multiple spurs on it. There were other differences too though.

The first difference was that the other ring had ten spurs on it instead of five. There were five spurs on each side of the ring, opposite to each other. Then there was the color of the ring itself.

Unlike the grey color of Lin Mu's ring, this ring had multiple colors, seven to be exact.

The ring itself had two colors, with half of it being Azure in color and the other half purple. Then the mirroring spurs were of red, green, brown, yellow and blue colors.
