Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2405  What Lin Mu could have been...

Being sucked into the whirling red vortex was certainly not a pleasurable experience for anyone.

In fact, they all felt as if their bodies were being forcefully squashed into a single point before being pushed out. It was the most unpleasant Teleportation they had ever gone through and simply being there seemingly took their entire will to withstand the pressure.

Pain was of course present, but they had managed to endure it as well.

At the same time, they could see nothing.

In fact, they didn't even feel their bodies. But this wasn't a feeling of weightlessness, but rather the feeling of dissociation.

'What kind of Teleportation is this?' Crown Prince Feng Shun wondered. 'And where is it taking us?' while they knew that Lin Mu had promised to take them out of the bridge plane, he had never told them exactly where they were going.

While they of course hoped that they would be returning to the Rust Sky World, there was no guarantee that Lin Mo would be following through it. After all, he had done more than enough to prove to them that he was not the same as Lin Mu.

In fact the people couldn't help but think that he was someone that Lin Mu could have been. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

In their time together, Lin Mu had told them about his childhood and how he had grown up as an orphan after the death of his parents.

Of course, the group were nothing but surprised upon learning that Lin Mu's parents were just some commoners having little to no cultivation.

Even if his father was at the Fourth Stage of the Body Tempering Realm, to the immortals it may as well be nothing. And in the case of his mother, it was even lower as she was but just a mortal.

Though there was some parts of information they missed out on such as the fact that Lin Mu's age was still unknown to them. They didn't ask about it either though, as they simply assumed it to be a couple thousand years at the very least.

It was also not something they particularly cared about, and was actually the reason they thought Lin Mu had managed to develop the way he had.

To them, there was a level of humbleness that was seldom seen in all experts. It was almost bordering on the level of 'weakness' but the man in question didn't care about that.

And now that they had seen Lin Mo, they understood just how he could have been had he been raised in a proper 'background'.

'Would he have become a domineering expert like he is right now? Would he be a peerless leader of a sect or the ruthless patriarch of a clan. Or perhaps… An Immortal Emperor of a thousand worlds?' Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't help but think of all the possibilities for his 'friend'.

The same was the case for Ziran, except he seemed to have learned a lot more than the others did simply due to his past experiences.

'That as the power of the Devils… How did he learn something like that?' Ziran wondered. 'There have not been any news of major devils appearing in the immortal realm for over a hundred thousand years at the very least.' He thought to himself.

Even the one devil he had seen long ago when he used to live in a sect with his mother was several times weaker than what Lin Mo was. It was a Dark devil born from a natural treasure that had been corrupted by a few people. It had been exterminated by the sect upon being found but it had come at the cost of thousands of disciples.

Ziran himself had been a mere Dao Treading Realm cultivator back then and had not even been qualified to join an expedition like that.

It was only his mother and father that had gone on it, and both had come back with heavy injuries. In fact they could have been much worse if not for his mothers affinity to the Darkness that allowed her a better resistance against the devil's dark elemental attacks.

But the attacks and technique that Lin Mo used were unfathomable for Ziran.

'What technique is that even? He was consuming souls with ease and raised his power all the way to the Transcendent Immortal Realm within a few minutes.' Ziran questioned the reality of it all.

While it was well known that devils could consume all kinds of energies, whether it be Qi, vitality or baleful energies, they were most feared for their ability to eat the souls of their victims.

It was especially bad since those that had their souls consumed by a devil would never be able to reincarnate unless the devil was killed. Of course this also came at the cost of great karma. The karma of all those that were killed would be transferred onto the devil and it would basically turn them into beacons for the diviners of the Immortal Court to find and kill them.

'Wait… How did Lin Mo had no trace of Karma on him?' Ziran remembered a shocking fact he had missed.

While Karma was hard to detect normally, with the sheer number of souls that Lin Mo had consumed in that short time, even a First Tribulation Stage Immortal would be able to sense with the massive concentration of Karma.

Ziran racked his mind to remember anything he could about devils such as this. 'There are supposed to be devils of different types from what I read at the sect long ago. The one that the sect faced was a Houtian Devil that was freshly born from a natural treasures corruption.

The one that the Southern Immortal Court faced hundred and twenty thousand years ago… it was the Severed Hand Sword Devil which was a Xiantian Devil born from the heart of a fallen sword cultivator who underwent a Qi deviation.

But Lin Mo… he is definitely not that since Lin Mu was in control before and he didn't harm us necessarily.' Ziran thought deeply.
