Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

While Jing Luo had heard about the Humanoid Mutant from Lin Mu before, actually seeing that sample has still stunned him. The black tar like substance was strange and emanated a repulsive feeling that made him want to subconsciously go away.

'Truly disgusting.' Jing Luo thought to himself.

This time it took Lin Mu about two hours to add the new sample. But once he was done, the entire formation array flickered.

"There, done." Lin Mu said as he took one last look at the formation array.

"Looks good. The others will finish the rest of it and add the anchor points around the kingdom. Half of them have already been installed and the rest should be done in a couple of days." Jing Luo said. "And after that, we'll see the true capability of the Hundred Sense Slaughter Array."

"I'd like to see it too. Though what is the power it can exert?" Lin Mu asked.

It was an important question, as the power of the array would determine its use. It would be rather useless if the only cultivators it could go against would be the weak ones at the Qi refining realm and the core condensation realm.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Unless a Dao Treading realm cultivator appearers it will hold up on its own. No Dao Shell realm cultivator will be able to resist it and will probably die under it." Jing Luo replied. "With the exception of you, of course… what did you even do to your body? Why do I feel such strong metal attribute from you?" he questioned.

"You can feel that?" Lin Mu asked, feeling surprised.

He didn't even know that he was releasing such a feeling from him.

"Yeah. It is like you are a walking beacon. Anyone that has proficiency with the metal element would know. You feel like… a literal mountain of metal walking around." Jing Luo explained.

"Well… it's a bit hard to explain." Lin Mu replied.

"Try me." Jing Luo said.

"Maybe showing you would be easier." Lin Mu replied before controlling his body.

He stopped controlling the weight of his body and also let his skin show its full appearance.

~DENG~

~THUD~

Lin Mu directly sunk into the ground all the way up to his waist and a golden sheen could be seen coming off his body. The sunlight that reflected off his skin made him look like a golden statue.

With the exception of his black hair, white teeth and eyes, the rest of his body let off a golden luster.

~shua~

But Jing Luo felt something else along with it. It wasn't just a change in appearance, Lin Mu was now letting off an entirely different aura.

"Heavens!" Jing Luo exclaimed.

Even though Lin Mu wasn't releasing his spirit Qi and was had restrained it, it was still a overwhelming scene. Even the others that were quite some distance from them felt a change in the air that suddenly felt heavier to them for some inexplicable reason.

"Such strong metal elemental aura and that golden color? Did you fill your entire body with gold or what?" Jing Luo questioned, feeling shocked.

"Well… yeah." Lin Mu answered.

Jing Luo was taken aback by the answer and could only say, "What?!"

"Well... You should take a look at this." Lin Mu said and handed Jing Luo the True Gold Body Forging arts.

Jing Luo's eyes narrowed, and he took the metal plate from Lin Mu's hand. He could tell that it was carved from a single metal sheet, but when he tried to read it, he couldn't recognize many of the words.

Lin Mu saw the confusion on his face and spoke, "oh wait, I have a translated version."

He then gave Jing Luo a jade slip with the technique in it. As part of learning and studying Dao Script with senior Xukong, Lin Mu would often translate things to and from Dao Script. This was to increase his own knowledge and proficiency with Dao Script.

Cultivation techniques were one of the best things to learn to use since they were complex even in the normal common tongue. Lin Mu would have to understand the technique himself first before he would even be able to find the character needed to translate it into Dao Script.

Thus it was an all encompassing way of making Lin Mu learn.

But when Jing Luo read through what was written in the technique, his face turned from shock to terror.

"THIS IS MADNESS!" Jing Luo said out loud.

"Yeah," Lin Mu couldn't exactly deny that.

Anyone that would try it would either be very confident in themselves, or be insane enough to try a self mutilating technique like this.

"You did all this to yourself?" Jing Luo asked, feeling both pity and afraid of Lin Mu.

To him, anyone who could do this to themselves was ruthless and if they could be this ruthless to themselves, then to their enemies, they would be hellish to say the least.

'But can he really be like that?' Jing Luo thought.

He knew Lin Mu's character well and understood him enough over the years.

~Sigh~

Finally in the end, Jing Luo could only sigh to himself and let it go. The source of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

"I don't know what to say… grandfather would say that you were foolish. But you actually succeeded." Jing Luo muttered.

"I know… but that is the price for power I needed to pay… had to pay." Lin Mu replied.

Jing Luo nodded his head, finding himself to be lacking.

'So his two years of seclusion were far more painful than the suffering we had gone through.' Jing Luo thought. 'The others don't even know the effort and sacrifices he has been doing for us.'

"Enough about this." Lin Mu said, wanting to change the topic.

"Tell me this. King Hong told me that you sent Little Shrubby out to the frontier. Why is that?" Lin Mu asked, desiring to know.

"That… well. It was a task only Little Shrubby could do.." Jing Luo replied.
