Chapter 2136 Infuriated By A Past Foe
The mere mention of the name made Lin Mu's expression change. This caught the attention of all those that were looking at that moment and found it to be a bit strange. But they didn't know that it was merely the start of it.
"What did you say?" Lin Mu asked again, a cold expression on his face. "The Shadow Gloom Bone Lord?" "Yes…" Monk Hushu confirmed.
"Him again!" Lin Mu said, his voice trembling in anger.
~HUALA~
At the same time a strong waves of energy spread out from Lin Mu's body, as if his anger was manifesting.
~MOOO~
~ROAR~
A deep red aura emanated from his body and rose above him, before coalescing and taking on the form of two figures. The first figure was that of a towering bear with horns on its head while the second figure was that of a Bull with two legs.
These were none other than the bloodline figures of the Great Slumber Bear and the Tyrant Bull!
~huuu~
Daoist Chu, Monk Hushu, and Min Ju couldn't help but take a breath to stabilize themselves, as the aura was simply too oppressive
Ziran, Crown Prince Feng Shun, Crown Princess Shang, Elder Ho and Qiao De were fine though and watched with concerned expressions. They could tell that something had infuriated Lin Mu.
"What is it?" Lady Kang asked, showing clear concern.
Hearing her voice Lin Mu closed his eyes for a second and silently chanted the Calming Heart Sutra. Monk Hushu raised his brows seeing that and saw Lin Mu's aura recede quickly. The bloodline figures disappeared and the imposing pressured disappeared.
"I'm sorry… I didn't expect to hear the name again here." Lin Mu apologized.
"It's fine." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied not minding it. "But it doesn't seem like it was a good thing for you."
"Did something happen for you to react like this?" Ziran asked, a few thoughts going through his mind. "I've seen many people and the only ones who would respond like this are those with great enmity." He added.
"You are correct." Lin Mu answered. "That Shadow Gloom Bone Lord… I've fought him before." He added.
~gasp~
"What?" They couldn't help but be shocked.
They knew of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord as they were all decently influential people with a good source of intelligence about matters like this. Thus they knew the danger the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord posed as well as his strength.
They also knew of his past exploits and the terror that he had spread in the Immortal realm.
Thus for Lin Mu to fight someone like that being did not seem simple.
"You fought him?" Monk Hushu was rather surprised too.
"Indeed… Though to be more accurate it was one of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord's avatars." Lin Mu added. "I knew that he could have more than one body, but didn't expect him to have been existing for this long. And he's also a well known threat to the entire Immortal realm." He stated honestly.
"No wonder…" Ziran said a look of understanding on his face. "I didn't know anymore of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord's avatars were still alive in the Immortal world… as far as I remember the last one was destroyed three thousand years ago." He added.
"That's correct." Lady Kang spoke up. "The Immoral Court set up a large cordon around the world that its avatar was found in. It was the Omero World that was one of the few worlds with a steady production of Omeran Steel, but it was stopped due to the cordon.
It lead to a great spike in prices back then and the Great Kang Auction house had to procure them from other worlds at a higher price." She said, having recalled what had happened back then.
Lin Mu heard their words but then shook his head.
"I didn't face it in the Immortal world…" Lin Mu replied.
"Then where did you face it?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked, finding something to be missing.
"I faced it in a Mortal World… My Home world." Lin Mu revealed, surprising them all.
"You… You're from a Mortal world?" Crown Princess Shang couldn't believe it.
With the skills and abilities that Lin Mu had demonstrated, along with his links to a celestial, they couldn't believe that a person like him could have come from just a mortal world.
Even in the Immortal world, finding someone like him was not simple and he would be like a hidden gem found after unearthing a hundred coal mines. Talented individuals like him would be invaluable to the powers of the Immortal realm as well as the Immortal Court itself.
For an individual like him to be born in a Mortal World seemed almost impossible to them. They had of course heard of great geniuses coming from mundane and obscure worlds, but seeing it with their own two eyes was another experience entirely.
Even for Crown Prince Feng Shun, Lady Kang and Ziran who had seen and experienced a lot of things, it was a new thing.
Though this also made them feel marveled at Lin Mu's talent, as it was a great accomplishment to be able to reach this level when one started from a mortal world. As that showed that it wasn't just talent that had brought him this far, there was also a lot of hard work involved in it.
"I am." Lin Mu finally confirmed it himself. "For you to face an avatar of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord in a mortal world… This is quite concerning." Ziran muttered before turning to the Crown Prince. "As far as I recall there have never been any records of the Shadow Gloom Bone Lord descending to the mortal Worlds, have there?" he questioned.
"None…" Crown Prince Feng Shun shook his head. "The Immortal court had us memorize all the major foes that the court has current as well as those in the past. As such I can clearly remember there never being anything like this before." He explained.
