Chapter 113: Approval
Chapter 113: Approval
Xukong had instantly felt the aura of the Demonic path and had rushed to the Ethereal altar to check. Though different from before, the aura of the Demonic path wouldn’t even let him get close enough, not to say about checking the altar.
"What is happening this time?" Xukong muttered.
Xukong even tried talking to Lin Mu but received no response. Not having any other option left, he tried looking into his mind. He had expected to be blocked by a barrier like last time, but did not. Instead, his spirit sense was actually pulled in without his control.
‘This is rather strange.’ Xukong thought as he observed his spirit sense probe being pulled in.
Xukong could have resisted easily but did not, and allowed it to be dragged in. He wondered what exactly was happening inside Lin Mu’s mind. A few seconds later his spirit sense arrived within Lin Mu’s mind and he started observing the changes.
The environment started forming up from the ground up, as the vast expanse of the bloodied lands appeared in front of Xukong’s vision. The blank sky then turned blood red as clouds of foul looking qi spread across the horizon.
A lone Lin Mu then appeared in the middle of this expanse, and so did the numerous other figures. The said figures were mere silhouettes and had features such as scales, tails, feathers, and horns. Some were big, and some were small. But their most prominent feature was the aura that was emanated every time they spoke.
The voices of the countless figures were melded together and turned into an amalgamation of Demonic chants. These demonic figures were chanting in an unknown language that Xukong could not understand, yet could still feel the tone.
Lin Mu was there, standing still in the middle of all of the Demonic figures, absentmindedly. The only activity that can be sensed from him was the chants that were coming out of his lips. He seemed to be repeating after the Demonic figures.
With every repetition of the chants, the aura from the Demonic figures would enter Lin Mu’s body from his skin. Over time, a thin layer of red membrane had formed on Lin Mu’s skin. It was as if his body was adapting to the Demonic aura.
Xukong felt nothing but shock at this scene, as he knew exactly what was happening.
"Will Of the Demonic Path!" Xukong exclaimed.
"How?! Only the scions of the primordials can get its approval." Xukong uttered.
He took a closer look at the Demonic figures and confirmed that they were indeed what he thought they were.
‘Even the Sages of Twilight were unsuccessful in gaining its approval, yet Lin Mu can. This is simply astounding.’ Xukong marveled.
"If the other wills awaken as well, then the heavens will be thrown into upheaval. I need to keep a close eye on this." Xukong muttered to himself.
A few minutes later the aura of the Demonic Path vanished and the scene within Lin Mu’s mind disappeared as well. Xukong retracted his spirit sense and saw that the ethereal altar had calmed down as well.
‘Finally, it has ended. Now all that’s left is to see what effect it had on Lin Mu.’ Xukong concluded.
He didn’t have to wait long as Lin Mu awakened from his trance a minute later. He opened his eyes as they flashed for a second. If one could freeze that moment and look into Lin Mu’s eyes, they would see an endless sea of Demons marching into oblivion, their aura towering into the sky, infecting the heavens.
