Chapter 1559 Earthen Armament Aspect: Great Shield Form

~LUBDUB~LUBDUB~LUBDUB~

The loud sound of a heartbeat could be heard as an eight sided object appeared in front of Lin Mu.

Any immortal that saw it would be able to figure out that it was none other than a Dao Shell. After all, they had seen many Dao Shells themselves, and even if the shape of this Dao Shell was a bit unique, it was still easy to identify.

What was different about it though, was the object that was within it.

The eleventh prince watched the Dao Embryo that looked like a heart within the Dao Shell. It was throbbing nonstop, and the beats were only getting louder.

The heart was made out of rocks and soil and was emitting dense energy. The energy rapidly spread over the Dao Shell, as rocks started to grow and cover it. The rocks grew larger and also took a condensed shape.

In just a few moments, the entire Dao Embryo was covered, having changed its shape. It had eight sides like before, but its size had increased by several times. But that wasnʼt all, as on the bottom sides of the object, three long spikes were extending.

The grew to about a meter long each and were in line with the rest of the body.

”Earthen Armament Aspect: Great Shield Form!” Lin Mu chanted.

~BOOM~

Just as the great shield had taken form, the arc of lightning finally struck it, creating a loud boom. Sparks flew as the lightning tried to penetrate the rock shield. But with Earth being able to resist the lightning, it simply couldnʼt pass.

And even if one considered the sheer destructive ability of the Lightning, it couldnʼt overcome the toughness of the shield.

”What!?” The Eleventh prince was surprised by the turn of events.

He had thought that he had grasped Lin Muʼs weakness, but now a mere shield had blocked it.

”This wonʼt work again!” The prince said with anger and directly slashed at it with his Sky Thunder Shotel.

~DENG~

The Shotel banged against the surface of the great shield, unable to even put a scratch on it.

”I should be the one to say that,” Lin Mu replied before grasping the shield from the back. It actually had a large handle on its back that Lin Mu could grasp with his hand.

Of course, with the size of the shield, it would seem a bit unwieldy, but to Lin Mu the weight was nothing. Though the shield did protect him entirely. It was after all, over four meters tall and three meters wide!

And if one counted the spikes at its bottom as well, it was over five meters tall.

~CRACK~

Lin Mu grasped the shield and exerted a downward force on it causing the spikes to be buried into the ground.

~DENG~DENG~DENG~

The prince continued slashing at the great shield, unable to do anything to it.

”You think this shield will be enough to protect you? Hah, youʼre dreaming!” The prince jumped over Lin Mu, intending to attack him from the back.

~BANG~

But before he could finish the jump, he was slapped away by the same shield!

Lin Mu effortlessly swung the shield around as if it were a feathered fan and whacked the prince away. He had put his entire weight behind the swing, causing the prince to be a bit disoriented.

ʼIt works better than I thought…ʼ Lin Mu had actually come up with the shield a long time ago.

It was around the same time when he had used the Earthen Armament Aspect: Great Sword Form in the battle against Gu Yao.

This was the second form he had made, and it was the Great Shield form. The defense of this shield was the greatest that Lin Mu had below the Immortal Strengthening scripture.

But the two techniques had different uses. Even if the Immortal Strengthening Scriptureʼs first technique Sky Prop had the best defense, it would leave Lin Mu immobile. It was not a technique that was meant to be used in moving combat but rather to endure a targeted attack.

The Earthen Armament Aspect: Great Shield Form though, was Lin Muʼs solution for it. Not only could it resist lightning with ease, it also had better defense than his own body. After all, it was being powered directly by the Dao Embryo and tapped into the Dao Traces of Earth!

This increased its power to another level, that could even resist immortal level attacks.

Thankfully, Lin Muʼs affinity to the earth was highest, which also boosted his power with this Dao Skill. Adding Lin Muʼs monstrous physical strength to it, the shield could be used like a melee weapon too, as he had done just now.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu didnʼt intend to let the prince have any rest though as he directly blinked next to him.

~BANG~

Raising the shield, Lin Mu slammed it into the manʼs back.

”UGH!” The princeʼs body was rattled and sent flying into the distant hills.

”Huu… is this it for him?” Lin Mu muttered, but didnʼt lower his guard.

Even if the impact of the attack was great, Lin Mu hadnʼt sensed the princeʼs vitality weakening yet.

”AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!” And just as he had thought, the prince rose back from the hill while screaming.

His body though, was gleaming in a green light.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and saw the injuries of the prince healing rapidly.

ʼThe wooden robe that was formed… it seems to have a healing effect.ʼ Lin Mu grasped another one of the princeʼs abilities. ʼThis makes it difficult…ʼ

But it only meant that the princeʼs tenacity was going to be higher as well.

”Iʼll crush your body!” The prince roared in anger as flames gathered around his hands. ”Volcanic Head Hammer!”

The flames condensed into a large war hammer, its head looking like the mouth of a volcano.

~HUMM~

The wings behind the prince flapped at a great speed, as he rushed towards Lin Mu at a blinding speed. The hammer curved through the air, and lava spurted from its mouth as it slammed into the Great Shield.

~BOOM~
