Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2516  Mei Nienzhenʼs Power

”Whoa! What are those?” Dian Bei asked through the communication jade slip.

”Are those people?” Another person questioned.

”Those should be Atlanteans… But theyʼre not alive…” Ziran spoke, narrowing his eyes.

He activated his Eyes of Underdark to get a better look and saw that the figures they were seeing were indeed not alive.

”Those are illusory figures.” Lin Mu informed everyone. ”Probably part of a formation array.” He added.

”Yeah, I can sense it too now.” Daoist Chu said while his immortal sense probed the area.

”Careful, it might be a defensive measure.” Monk Hushu warned.

”It definitely is.” Elder Hu stated. ”They donʼt seem to be there to just be showpieces.” The elder pointed at the figures that were now looking at them.

~GURGLE~

And sure enough a moment later, the Atlantean figures all rushed towards the group!

Lin Mu and the other leaders felt the killing intent, becoming alert.

”Prepare to fight!” Crown Prince Feng Shun sent out the order.

~DENG~

The first to clash was Lin Mu as he drew out both his swords and met the tridents of the illusory Atlanteans. ʼTheyʼre strong.ʼ Lin Mu could feel a strength that was at least equal to the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm from the two figures.

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

But that was merely the start as more figures began pouring out from the building. Two became ten, ten became hundred and hundred became a thousand!

Lin Mu and the others were quickly surrounded!

”Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang did you two not see them before?” Lin Mu asked as he fought back.

~HISS~

The twins were also in the middle of fighting as they tore through the illusory bodies of the Atlanteans that were trying to attack Lin Mu from the back.

”No, they werenʼt here before.” Xiao Yin replied.

”There was nothing here before other than the building.” Xiao Yang replied.

”They must have appeared due to us triggering something.” Lin Mu quickly guessed and conveyed this to the others.

~CLANG~

Four Atlantean figures assaulted him and stabbed their tridents towards him, a strong current of water accompanying each of them. But they were all met by Lin Muʼs swords as they flew on their own in the water.

Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang also fought the other figures that were trying to stop Lin Mu and ripped them apart.

~SHAU~SHUA~SHUA~

”Huh, theyʼre reforming!?” Lin Mu noticed that the damage done to the Atlantean figures was being fixed rapidly. ”This is gonna be tough.” A full blown conflict broke out as Lin Mu and his companions battled the Atlanteans figures.

Crown Prince who usually would have been a leading figure in the fight was forced to hold back most of his power, being limited to only using his wind elemental skills. If he used his lightning skills, there was a great chance others would get electrocuted by it.

They had already discussed this beforehand as part of the difficulties they would face underwater. The same was the case for others that fought using fire elemental skills, as they would be highly restricted by the water around them. On the other hand, those with Wood and Water elemental Skills were empowered as they could simply benefit from the environment.

There was a rich presence of water elemental immortal Qi in the water thus several cultivators among them like Min Ju were able to freely use their skills without worrying about the expenditure of energy.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

But there was one among them that stood out the most.

An bone chilling cold could be felt by everyone coming from a white haired girl.

Mei Nienzhen distanced herself from others as much as she could without breaking the formation as she made a hand seal.

Her eyes gleamed in an iridescent light while her lips moved wordlessly.

”Entombment Freeze.” She soundlessly spoke as she spread her hands.

~WOOOO~

An icy white energy exploded out covering the area within seconds. The illusory Atlantean figures were covered in it and frozen solid. A few of the members of the mission were also affected unfortunately and had a limb or two frozen.

But the effect on them wasnʼt as bad as the Atlantean figures as Mei Nienzhen had controller her power as much as she could.

Sensing those who had been caught as collateral damage, Mei Nienzhen made a pulling gesture and released them from the ice.

This only left the Atlantean figures frozen, and the fight had come abruptly to an end.

”That was unexpected…” Everyone looked at the white haired girl finding it quite surprising. ʼSheʼs definitely grown stronger.ʼ Lin Mu could tell from the power of the skill she had used. But he didnʼt linger on it long as he knew the situation needed to be addressed.

”The illusory figures are powered by an array and wonʼt end unless we stop the array first. We need to break that first.” Lin Mu informed everyone.

”Iʼll hold them here, and anymore that come,.” Mei Nienzhen spoke. Her power was certainly holding the superiority here due to her dominion over the Ice element. Even the Water elemental cultivators would be hard pressed to go against her right now.

”Thank you, Daoist Nienzhen.” Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. ”Weʼll quickly find them. Everyone split up in groups of five each!” Going along would be far to dangerous thus it was better to stay in groups.

They did as told and used their immortal senses to find the nodes of the array.

”I found one!” the first one to find it was Daoist Chu. ”Destroy the pearls that are embedded in the walls!” he informed everyone.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

Once that was known, it didnʼt take long for everyone to find them.

~SHUA~

Twenty minutes was all it took for them to destroy all of them and Lin Mu checked to see if any were left but once the illusory figures disappeared, it was basically confirmed that the array had been stopped.
