Chapter 2342 Battle In The Dantian
Lin Mu had little to think after he had used the Falling Sky Lance.
He had combined Tyrant Stomp, the Aspect of Heaviness with the durability of the Longgui Bulwark Armor in order to deal the most damage possible.
He also knew what he was up against, remembering his fight with Yao Changying in detail and also the fallout from it. Lin Mu knew how dangerous the Withering Daos was and on some level how to deal with it.
This was also why he had chosen to use the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets to attack. Not only was it strong, it also had the additional effect of protecting him from the effects of the Withering Dao to a certain extent due to the rich vitality.
This on top of the protection of the Longgui Bulwark Armor was how Lin Mu had decided to go up against the massive maggot.
But even if he had considered all those factors, Lin Mu could not predict the unknown. The creature he had gone up against had been far stronger than the attack that Yao Changying had used.
When he had made contract, he had dealt a massive amount of damage to the maggot, crushing its head and tentacles in one go. But that also ended up releasing a lot of the Withering Dao and other baleful energies that were contained within the creature.
The boots of the Longgui Bulwark Armor were crushed from the impact as well as the effects of the Withering Dao and it allowed for the foul energies to enter his body. His True Gold body had along since been unable to deal with the Withering Dao and the only thing left was his body cultivation protecting him.
But even then the combination of the foul energies was far too much for him to bear.
They invaded from every spot they could, before the explosion burned away the rest.
The entire corpse of the maggot was turned into hot ash and mixed into the remains of the ground around it before it finally melted into lava.
Thankfully, Lin Mu had a higher resistance against heat thus he had no issue even if he was floating in the lava. But that was only half of the trouble as he was now fighting against the energies from inside.
"Ugh!" Lin Mu opened his eyes and saw a brush floating above him along with a beating heart. "I'm in my Dantian?" he quickly realized.
Lin Mu was now in the form of his Nascent Soul and looked around frantically knowing that him entering this state without his control was not normal.
~SIZZLE~
As soon as it did, the immortal Qi started to seemingly boil while Lin Mu's Nascent Soul felt a faint ache.
"Shit... this can't be good." Lin Mu saw the immortal Qi starting to turn darker. 'My immortal Qi is getting contaminated.' He realized.
~SCREECH~
The four headed maggot rose out of the sea of immortal Qi, and rushed at Lin Mu with its tentacles. The contaminated immortal Qi seemingly followed its orders, and turned into sharp thorns around the tentacles, as they clashed with Lin Mu.
~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~
Lin Mu defended with the great sword, but the power was enough to push him back.
"Rune Shaping Brush!" Lin Mu called his other Dao Embryo and held it with his left hand, rapidly starting to draw runes.
~HUALA~
The immortal Qi below rose and filled into the runes, powering them instantly as a formation was created.
~SHUA~
Once the runes were filled the formation was seemingly 'ejected' out before more immortal Qi filled in the empty runes.
It was as if they were mold for making a formation.
~SHA~SHA~SHA~
These formations all created barriers, that protected Lin Mu's Nascent Soul as he started to counter attack.
