Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2155  A Method To See The Dao Traces

Finding the Dantian of the Demonic Sentinel was not easy as Lin Mu had thought.

Even if he had cut the statue and revealed its insides, it had not been split entirely. Thus a large portion of its insides were still hidden within its tough interior. Then there was also the fact that the Demonic Sentinel was a lot bigger than a normal cultivator.

Thus the position of the Dantian was not exactly the same as compared to a human cultivator.

A few seconds later, the Demonic Sentinel started moving again, as the injuries had not weakened it much. ”WOROOOOOON!~” A loud sound came from its body, as it rushed towards Lin Mu.

Even with one leg damaged, the Demonic Sentinel was still quite speedy. Its six remaining arms thrust towards Lin Mu which he was forced to block.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

The Longgui Bulwark Armor defended against them successfully, as Lin Mu focused on trying to find the Dantian.

ʼEven if I can trace out the pathways of the meridians, pin pointing the Dantian is not possible this way.ʼ Lin Mu understood. ʼI need some other way to do this,ʼ He realized.

He fought with the Demonic Sentinel for about a minute before he finally figured out a potential solution.

ʼWait… if it has Demonic Dao Traces, then I should be able to sense it with the sutra.ʼ An idea appeared in his mind.

Then, without hesitating, Lin Mu acted on it.

~shua~

Esoteric chants escape his lips, causing his aura to change. It was a subtle change first but soon his entire presence seemed to have become different. This was especially noticeable to the others in the back. After all, they were immortals who were not weak and having stayed with Lin Mu for all this time, they could at least tell what his normal aura was like. ”What is he…” Lady Kang became concerned.

If before, Lin Muʼs presence used to be calm, it was now like a boiling cauldron with a closed lid.

Even Elder Hu was alerted, despite his injured state and looked at Lin Mu. His thousands of years of battle experience was telling him that Lin Mu was extremely dangerous right now.

”My Lady… Daoist Mu Lin seems…” Min Ju felt apprehensive and took a step back.

Among them, Ziran was the only one who seemed to recognize that aura.

ʼDemons? How does Daoist Mu Lin have that aura?ʼ Ziran wondered.

Having lived in a demon world and even having a demon as a wife, Ziran was the one who had the most experience with demons. As such, he wouldnʼt mistake the change in Lin Muʼs aura. His ears twitched slightly. As he focused on Lin Mu. Being an elf, he naturally had a sensitive sense of hearing which he could freely control as needed. Normally he kept this limited, as excess sensitivity could disorient oneself during a fight or if one was caught off guard by loud sounds.

Only in specific cases would Ziran use his ears to focus on something.

~Gasp~

But upon doing so, he heard the esoteric chants which quickly raised his heart rate. This startled him internally and his hurriedly stopped listening to them. ʼWhat are those chants… To affect me merely by listening for a moment…ʼ Ziran couldnʼt believe it.

He didnʼt get to dwell on this long though, as Lin Mu made his move.

A red aura covered Lin Muʼs fist as he punched on the side of the Demonic Sentinel.

~BANG~

The impact was enough to push the statue back, while a fist imprint formed on the Demonic Sentinelʼs side. This caused the cut in the middle of his body to get warped and bent, revealing more of its insides.

~BANG~BANG~BANG~

Lin Mu didnʼt stop there either and let off a flurry of blows, forgetting various spots on the Demonic Sentinelʼs body.

ʼIts getting better…ʼ Lin Mu narrowed his eyes. ʼBurning Heart Sutra works to improve my sensitivity for the Demonic Dao Traces.ʼ He confirmed his guess.

Normally, this wouldnʼt have worked as there wouldnʼt be enough Demonic Dao Traces around for him to sense. Then there was also the fact that using the sutra would lead to his transformation.

But what Lin Mu was doing here was to maintain a very fine balance to not activate the Burning Heart Sutra to the maximum. He was in fact, chanting and stopping every so often, and not completing them.

This way, he could still get some effects of the sutra but not transform into his beastly form.

Doing that in front of others would be really hard to explain.

Even if Lady Kang hadnʼt seen the ʼDemonʼ who ʼstoleʼ the Violet Mystic Life tree with her own eyes, there was no doubt she had seen the reports of the incident. Considering the scale of the event, nearly every power on the Rust Sky World knew of it.

And for influential people like Lady Kang, it was important information they wouldnʼt miss. Especially considering the value of the Violet Mystic Life Tree, which was simply impossible to determine.

Its fruits could increase the longevity of an immortal, which would be priceless to many immortals. Every Immortal would like to have at least one of them in backup, while the experts who were nearing their lifespan and didnʼt have the confidence to undergo an immortal tribulation would absolutely need them.

When it was a matter of life and death, they would be willing to pay any price.

Lin Mu wouldnʼt be surprised if almost every major power had memorized the appearance of the demon that had stolen the tree, including those that were merely visiting.

He even thought that Ziran would know about them too. Thus, Lin Mu prevented his transformation. It would be much easier for him to explain the demonic aura, as a special skill rather than a full on transformation. At the very least, he didnʼt think this was the right moment to use it when he still had other means of fighting.
