Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2529  Closing Rifts

”Go! Iʼll handle this!”

With Childe Wildfire contributing greatly to the eight, a lot of the members were now free enough to attack the barrier.

”Alright!” about fifteen members of the group went to attack the Spatial Fold Barrier.

While their attacks appeared to do nothing to the barrier, according to Xukongʼs words they would eventually add up though it would probably take a while.

For now, everyone had to focus on their own side and kill as many Chimeric Beasts as they could.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Lin Mu sent out sword slash after sword slash, cutting apart the Chimeric beasts that stood in his path.

~WHOOSH~

And when they were gone, he moved to another location leaving a train of clouds in his wake!

Not a single attack could meet him, as he dodged them with ease, the Cloud Dragon Stride working well for him. It consumed less Qi than Blink thus it made it a lot more efficient for Lin Mu, not to mention the trail of clouds he left behind also helped confuse the enemies and block their sight.

Crown Prince Feng Shun who saw this couldnʼt help but be amazed.

”Daoist Lin Mu has really managed to improve this much.” The Crown Prince muttered. ”While Iʼve only managed to grasp the mnemonic of the technique itself.” He had read the skill too, but he had not learned it at all.

Of course while he did have a lack of time due to being busy all this time, he had still had attempted learning it. But he hadnʼt even come close to grasping the Dao of Sky even though he already had the Wind and lightning Dao proficiency.

Still this was good for them as Lin Mu was quickly clearing out swathes of Chimeric Beasts on the eastern side thus the pressure from that side had reduced. Crown Prince Feng Shun on the other hand handled the western side and the rest of the members were split between the northern and southern side.

The barrier was located on the southeastern side and was currently the area with the least number of Chimeric Beasts.

With the number of beasts falling in number, the number of members who could afford to attack the barrier increased further, with Daoist Chu and Elder Hu joining in on it.

~BANG~BANG~BANG~

Attack after attack struck the barrier, but still little to no progress could be observed. At most, they could see slight movements in the air as the fabric of space stretched a bit but nothing more than that.

An hour had gone by and the battle seemed never ending, for the Chimeric Beasts kept on pouring out of the Spatial Rifts. At first it was just the Auroch Chimeric Beasts coming out of it, but later on more such as the Maggot Chimeric Beasts, the Antelope Chimeric Beasts and the Mantis Chimeric Beasts also started coming out of it.

”This wonʼt work, weʼll get cornered here if this keeps up.” Lin Mu spoke up sensing the numbers rising once more. ”We need to stop the source.” He said out loud.

”Go on ahead, Daoist Lin Mu. Weʼll hold the back.” Monk Hushu said knowing that heʼd be the most qualified for it. ”If thereʼs anyone that can deal with Spatial Rifts itʼll be you.” ”Yeah, do it.” Crown Prince Feng Shun agreed. ”We can take care of things here.”

”Weʼve fought with worse, weʼll be fine.” Lady Kang agreed as well.

”Alright. Take care everyone.” Lin Mu took a breath and disappeared.

Using Fade he flew straight towards the direction where the Spatial Rifts were supposed to be. A short while later he was in the sky and a mere hundred meters from him was a Spatial Rift that was around twenty meters long and seven meters wide. It was one of the many Spatial Rifts that were open right now and all of them had varying sizes.

”Letʼs see if this can be closed…” Lin Mu used his Spatial Perception and focused on them, trying to understand their structure. ʼSince thereʼs a Spatial Folding Barrier here, opening a Spatial Rift here would be quite straining.ʼ He thought to himself.

A Spatial Rift was basically pulling apart on the spatial fabric, while the Spatial Folding Barrier was pulling it closer. These were opposing effects and as such, there would be a conflict between the two. And compared to the Spatial Folding Barrier, a Spatial Rift would be a lot weaker.

As such, Lin Mu only needed to target the structural weak points in the Spatial Fabric to force them to close up.

”There!” Lin Mu soon spotted one such segment at the edge of the Spatial Rift that seemed to be highly strained. Using the power of the ring, as well as its skill, Lin Mu extending his hand.

”MELD!” Directly grasping its edge, Lin Mu pushed on it. ”Haaah!” The rift trembled as additional force was applied to it. This, along with the resistance from the Spatial Folding Barrier, was enough for it to yield and begin to close.

~SHAHA~

A few seconds later, it recoiled shut, releasing a wave of Spatial Energy that pushed Lin Mu back.

~HUALA~

The Longgui Bulwark Protected him from the impact, and as such he was unharmed, though fine cracks formed on some parts of the armor.

ʼIʼll have to be careful closing the rest. The Spatial Energy fluctuations can tear apart flesh with ease.ʼ Lin Mu understood. ”Though at least we know this can work.” He was pleased.

Having closed the nearest Spatial Rift, the inflow of the Chimeric Beasts reduced and his companions had more breathing ground. Not wasting a moment, he moved to the next Spatial Rift and began doing the same.

~SHAHA~~SHAHA~~SHAHA~~SHAHA~~SHAHA~

Rift after rift were closed as Lin Muʼs efforts began to show fruit with the number of Chimeric Beasts decreasing by nearly thirty percent!

This allowed more people to attack the barrier and the chances of their survival increased as well.
