Walker Of The Worlds



Unaware of the Crown Prince Feng Shun's actions, Lin Mu was still waiting in the Spatial Plane.

"Are you two okay now?" Lin Mu asked.

Two days had passed since the battle and Lin Mu had asked the two as well as their Tamed beasts to recover in that time.

"Yes, Brother Mu Lin." Ming Aolian replied.

"Your healing pills were really effective." Ming Dandan replied as well. "The beasts are recovering fast too. I think they'll be fine by tomorrow." She added.

"That's good." Lin Mu knew that Beast Qi could stimulate the growth of the beasts quite a bit. 

The two beasts still had it left within their bodies, thus their natural healing would be boosted. 

"How much longer do we wait though Brother?" Ming Aolian asked. "It has been about seventeen days now." She stated.

"Not long… I think just four or five more days." Lin Mu answered.

It was true since Lin Mu had felt the pace of the Spatial Planes closing had increased. In just two days, five Spatial Planes had closed leaving only ten left including theirs.

'The fights in the other places should be ending soon. Even here the number of cultivators wandering around had reduced. It shouldn't take that long now.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Lu Xu and Qian Wen were looking around the area at this time since the Ming Sisters had been injured. They had barley fought just one cultivator in the two days, which was a very low number. Especially so considering the fact that most cultivators had formed teams of two now.

Finding a lone cultivator was rather rare. And by now, pretty much all of the Second Tribulation Stage immortals had been wiped out. The ones that were left now were mostly at the Third or Fourth Tribulation stage of the Immortal realm.

The eighteenth day rolled in and two more Spatial Planes collapsed.

A single plane collapsed on day nineteen while two more collapsed on day twenty. 

And on day twenty one, only two more Spatial Planes were left, with the rest having collapsed. 

~Rumble~

As soon as Lin Mu sensed this, he opened his eyes and stopped his comprehension of Space. His progress with the Spiral Flake Crystal had improved once more and he reckoned he might only need a few more days to actually touch the 'unknown' within it.

"It is time!" Lin Mu quickly sent out a message to his companions.

"We're outside." The Ming sisters responded.

"We'll join you now." Lu Xu and Qian Wen stated.

Lin Mu walked out of the crack along with them, not worrying about the people watching them now. It was at the end of the stage and there would be no way to avoid their gazes. Thus it was best to go out and gather some value for them. 

Coming at the end and blowing away the competition was another way of gathering a lot of attention. This would sway the odds in their favor, raising the bet values for them. There was even a chant that they might raise it mid way while the tournament was running.

~WHOOSH~

Lin Mu flew up into the sky, letting himself be seen openly.

'We'll do as planned. I'll gather attention, you four scatter and attack the people who try to approach.' Lin Mu reminded them.

"Yes!" the four reminded.

Splitting into two teams, Lin Mu's companions trailed him from a short distance while staying as hidden as they could. They needed to make others think they too were stalking Lin Mu and would ambush him at a certain time.

Five minutes was all it took for Lin Mu to gather attention.

'Hmm, two Fourth Tribulation Stage immortals and two Third Tribulation Stage immortals.' Lin Mu quickly picked them up with his Immortal sense.

He could tell that they too were trying to use Immortal sense, but their range was not enough to reach Lin Mu fully. Plus the cultivation base that Lin Mu was demonstrating was simply at the Second Tribulation Stage of the immortal realm.

It served as the perfect target and others couldn't help but feel tempted by it.

After all, they didn't know how many people were left in the Spatial Plane, thus finding a weak opponent to defeat was a good chance. There were still the rewards that they could get after this. The rewards were determined in many ways, but even if one didn't win the round, they could still get some rewards depending on their performance.

Lin Mu and his companions might not have defeated as many immortals as the others, but since they intended to win the round, it didn't matter to them. The overall rewards they would get would still be higher. Not to mention, the bets that had been placed by Luo Liqin would be massive too.

The returns from those bets would be several times more than that.

Thus to Lin Mu and his companions, it was more important to win rather than to get the smaller rewards for their performance.

"Two Third Tribulation Stage Immortals near Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan." Lin Mu informed his companions.

"On it!" Ming Aolian replied. "Ting!" she quickly called out her Sky Soar Wolf.

~SWOOSH~

Ming Dandan also called out her Mulch Crawl Eater Beast. Getting it to coordinate with Ting. The two beasts approached together before the Mulch Crawl Beast used its ability.

~Tremble~

"Ugh! What's this?" The two Third Tribulation Stage immortals suddenly found themselves sinking into the ground.

"This is… Mud? No this can't be mud, we're sinking!" they realized something was wrong.

~WHOOSH~

It was at this time that the Sky Soar Wolf swooped in. They hadn't even noticed the beast before they had been struck.

~GRRR~

Ting's claws directly ripped at the two immortals, catching them off guard. 

"Ugh!"

"ARGH!"

The two could only let out a brief cry before they turned into flashes of light and disappeared. Ting's attack had crushed the tokens they held, thereby removing them from the tournament.

"We're done, Brother Mu Lin." The Ming Sisters replied.

"Good, withdraw the beasts. It's best to keep them hidden." Lin Mu advised.

"Yes!" Ming Aolian and Ming Dandan quickly recalled the beasts.

After all, they were rather large and would be easily spotted by the others. 

"Anything for us?" Lu Xu asked.

"Two Fourth Tribulation Stage immortals. They are more careful than the others, and are to your right." Lin Mu answered. "Prepare to attack when I tell you." He instructed.

~SHUA~

Mid way Lin Mu flipped around, a bow appearing in his hand.

~TWANG~

In the next moment, the bow gleamed with a red light, two fiery arrows shooting out of it.

"Dammit! He noticed us!" The two fourth tribulation stage immortals saw the red arrows coming towards them.

"So what, he's just at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. There isn't much he can do against us." His ally spoke.

"Let's just deal with him directly now then." The other person agreed.

~SHUA~

The arrows reached in this time, but the two Fourth Tribulation Stage immortals were able to dodge them with ease. After all the distance between them was large and gave them enough time to see the trajectory of the arrows.

~TWANG~

But Lin Mu didn't stop there and sent more arrows.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Multiple arrows flew at them, forcing them to focus on dodging them.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

Small explosions happened wherever they struck making them a bit alarmed.

"Careful, his skill is strong." The first Fourth Tribulation Stage immortal spoke.

"It's stronger than his cultivation base, he probably wouldn't be able to use that skill too many times. We just need to focus on dodging it and he'll get tired on his own."  The Second Tribulation Stage immortals replied.

Unfortunately for them, this was simply a distraction that had been set by Lin Mu.

"NOW!" Lin Mu informed Lu Xu and Qian Wen.

"Haha, I was waiting for this!" Lu Xu ambushed the first Fourth Tribulation Stage immortal, holding a long lance.

"Me too." Qian Wen used an army halberd and stabbed towards the second Fourth Tribulation Stage immortal.

"What!?" The two only saw the ambush when Lu Xu and Qian Wen were a couple of meters from them.

"Sneak attacking us!? You'll regret this!" The first fourth Tribulation Stage immortal scoffed.

~CLANG~ CLANG~

The two fourth Tribulation Stage immortals clashed with Lu Xu and Qian Wen, though they were certainly pushed back a little.

~HUMM~

But that was not the end of it as the real attack was yet to arrive.

~SHING~

A streak of yellow sword light rushed towards them in the blink of an eye, pine trees overflowing with Sword Intent sprouting along with it.

"SHIT!" The first fourth Tribulation Stage immortal could only curse before he was struck. "Agh!"

"What in the—" his companion was distracted by it enough that Qian Wen was able to hit him, while Lu Xu joined him.

A few strikes were all it took for the man's token to be destroyed and for him to disappear.

The same happened with the first fourth Tribulation Stage immortal who turned into a flash of light.
