Walker Of The Worlds

An explosion suddenly occurred but it was not bright and neither were there any flames in it. Rather, it was just made out of a mist that continuously spread around.

~DENG~

~DENG~

The explosion's force also managed to knock away all the weapons away that were coming towards the third elder. He, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose, finally took a breath of relief.

"Show them the true power of the Ripple Mist sect, First Elder!" The third elder exclaimed.

Jing Luo had retreated upon sensing the explosion and tried to recall the weapons that had been sent flying away. But then he found out that it was a bit difficult for him to do so.

"Huh? How is this happening?" Jing Luo wondered.

His spirit sense suddenly became sluggish and commanding the spirit weapons was like sending a message with a pigeon. The time difference between the transmission and reception was far too much for the weapons to be useful.

A few seconds later, Jing Luo realized why it was happening. The mist that had spread around in the area was the cause behind it. Jing Luo's eyes narrowed as he tried to find the source of the mist.

Since his spirit sense was useless right now, he could only use his eyesight to find where it was. But seeing anything was only getting difficult by the second as more and more mist spread and became denser.

Jing Luo immediately took out a jade slip and contacted Lin Mu.

"Can you see what's causing this?" Jing Luo asked.

Lin Mu, who had gone through the same realization as Jing Luo, sensed the Jade slip humming. Finding Jing Luo's message on the jade slip.

'So he's having a problem too… this mist is troublesome.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Unlike Jing Luo, he had a hunch about what this mist was.

"This is caused due to that elder," Lin Mu said.

Jing Luo wondered what kind of a technique was it that the first elder had used. Since the man had eaten the Blood Will Ignition pill, whatever Qi skill he used would become much more powerful than before.

"We need to be careful, seeing the attacks in this place will be difficult." Jing Luo warned.

"Yes, I'll try to take out the third elder first. He should still be close by." Lin Mu said before searching for the third elder.

~shua~

But just as he moved a short distance from where he was a sword made out of mist shot out.

~DENG~

Lin Mu crossed his hands in front of him and blocked the mist sword at the last moment. Due to the Mortal Strengthening scripture, while Lin Mu would not have been injured by the mist sword even if he did not defend, he would still have been knocked away.

And he did not want that to happen, as it would only become harder for him to find his location in this mist. He looked around and saw that the mist had now completely filled the entire area and nothing else could be seen; neither the sky neither the ground.

~shua~

~shua~

~shua~

One after the other, more weapons made out of the mist came out from nowhere, forcing Lin Mu to dodge.

"HAHAHA! Behold my Weapon Mist Domain!" The voice of the first elder echoed from everywhere.

Lin Mu heard the name and remembered that he had heard about this before.

"Isn't this one of the core skills of the Ripple Mist Sect?" Lin Mu muttered.

He had heard a few disciples talk about this before when he was wandering in the sect. The Ripple mist sect cultivated using many cultivation techniques, but their core technique was called as the Misty Depths Technique.

There were many levels in the Misty Depths Technique and the highest ranked level within that technique allowed one to use the Weapon Mist Domain. Lin Mu had only heard this because the disciples of the sect were talking about it animatedly afters a lesson from an elder.

Fortunately, Lin Mu had also gotten to hear about the different abilities of the technique.

The first ability was that the Weapon Mist Domain could shroud a vast area in a thick mist that stopped one from seeing far and also dulled their spirit sense. If someone was more proficient in this technique then they might even be able to completely prevent someone from using their spirit sense.

And if a cultivator's spirit sense was suppressed, then they were not different from being rendered blind and lame. They wouldn't even be able to use their spirit weapon to attack and with nothing to see, they wouldn't be able to use their offensive Qi skills, either.

The second ability was that the Weapon Mist Domain could create weapons from the mist that could appear and disappear at any time. They were quite hard to dodge for many people and if they did not have strong defenses, they would be impaled rather quickly.

Though the third ability was what made it the most deadly. The mist could eventually block out all spirit Qi and make the cultivator unable to absorb it. And since the mist was spread out in the vast area, they would have a hard item finding a way out and get lost.

Then the user of the Weapons Mist Domain only needed to continue attacking the cultivator till they ran out of sprint Qi. Once they were drained out of spirit Qi, they would be unable to do much and would be easily killed.

But Lin Mu knew that using the Weapon Mist Domain must have come at a great cost. From what he had heard from the disciples, the Weapon Mist Domain was only able to be used by a cultivator that reached the hugest level in the Misty Depths technique and was at the Dao Shell realm.

From this, Lin Mu surmised the first elder now had power comparable to that of a Dao Shell realm cultivator. Lin Mu informed Jing Luo of this as well and tried to think of a few solutions.
