Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 983 - Invoking The Hidden Trace Of The Bloodline

Lin Mu and king Hong moved to the back of the place, where there was no danger of damaging property.

”This should be better.” King Hong said as he took a deep breath.

~huu~

Lin Mu watched as the aura of King Hong rose like the tide on a full moon. 

~shua~

Then like a dam had been broken, Lin Mu could feel the spirit Qi gushing out non-stop from King Hongʼs body. The quantity was certainly high and it was rather dense as well, showing that King Hongʼs cultivation base was rather stable.

Lin Mu could tell that King Hong was many times better than the average cultivator, having a higher spirit Qi capacity as well. And along with the cultivation base being displayed, Lin Mu also saw the illusory figure of a sphere rising from the body of King Hong.

It was currently in the shape of a slightly dented sphere but Lin Mu could tell that this was due to King Hong molding and designing the shape of his Dao Shell. The color of his Dao Shell was different too, being an amber red in color. 

”Thereʼs no doubt, thatʼs a Low Ranked Drake.” Xukong spoke.

”Mm… Iʼll try to see if I can resonate with the bloodline and sense it now.” Lin Mu said.

Lin Mu closed his eyes and invoked the Great Slumber Bearʼs bloodline within him. This was the method that Xukong had told him about. While sensing the bloodlines in others didnʼt really need for one to have a bloodline, sensing a bloodline that only had a trace of it left in oneʼs aura was very difficult.

The only way one could do this without a specialized spirit tool or treasure was to use the beastʼs bloodline resonance. Lin Mu had already experienced it several times before with Little Shrubby, and other beasts.

It was the effect a bloodline had on another bloodline, depending on the ranking and strength. In most cases, a strong bloodline would suppress a weak bloodline, and equally strong bloodline would compete against each other.

And when there were bloodlines that were unknown and interacted with each other for the first time, they would even cause a bloodline battle. It was a special event that one might never see in their lifetime.

Lin Mu had only read about it in the records of the Lost immortal before but never seen it in person.

~HONG~

Within Lin Muʼs Dantian, the figure of the Great Slumber bear silently appeared. It looked to be asleep, but Lin Muʼs beckoning was waking it up.

~tremble~

Lin Muʼs entire body trembled as veins popped up on his skin all of a sudden. As if his blood pressure had shot up in an instant, Lin Muʼs face turned red and his eyes bloodshot.

~Roar~

A suppressed roar could be heard coming from Lin Muʼs body, and everyone in the area could hear it. Even those that were in the palace heard the roar of a beast in their ears. The roar was low, and yet it sent shivers through their body.

The ones that were weaker felt their blood flowing faster and their legs weakening. And the ones that were stronger felt a hint of danger coming from all around them, despite the fact that there was no one there.

King Hong was the same and felt his instincts warning him about something. They told him whatever was in front of him, it wasnʼt something he could challenge. 

ʼWhat even is this?ʼ King Hong felt both a bit confused and afraid at the same time.

King Hong had the Dauntless Ember physique. This not only affected his body but also his mentality, making him Dauntless and brave. And yet, he could feel the fear which was very unusual for him.

The fear traveled through his body in waves and reached deep inside. 

~RAAAA~

When the fear had fully entered the depths of his blood, King Hong felt something stirring there. It was were weak and looked like it would be snuffed out with a little blow. But then its power increased and he felt a drain on his vitality.

King Hongʼs eyes went wide, and he panicked slightly. Letting oneʼs vitality be randomly be drained was not a good thing and could lead to a lot of problems. For any normal cultivator, this was an issue of great importance, yet King Hong soon realized that his body didnʼt seem to be against it.

Normally his body should have warned him about this too, and should have resisted the drain, but right now, it was not. Instead, it let the vitality be taken up by the unknown presence that had appeared in the depths of his blood.

~GUAAAAAA!~

King Hong then heard another cry coming from his blood. It was coming from the same presence that had drained some of his vitality and it was growing in its size. A few seconds later, King Hong felt his vision change, and he saw something forming in front of him.

The presence in his blood rose and took the shape of a drop. It then continued to absorb the vitality and turned into mist. The blood colored mist expanded more and more before morphing into a different shape.

It elongated, and five protrusions appeared from it. One protrusion elongated even more, turning into a tail while the other four elongated an almost equal length and became limbs. Then the head was formed as the mist split apart to form the wide jaws.

Horned scales sprouted on the top of the head before scaly spines spread along the back of the illusory figure. Four claws grew on the beastʼs fore limbs and three on the hind limbs. Its scales then started to get more detailed before taking on color.

The original blood colored mist switched to a more detailed figure of a beast. The beast had scales of varying brown shades, along with orange scales around its head and claws.. Its eyes were white with vertical black pupils in them.
