Chapter 2166 Purging The Tunnel And Safe Arrival
~WOONG~ WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~
The beam of light from the Snowflake continue to purge the death aura as Lin Mu flew through it.
'Daoist Mu Lin has a solution to this too.' Daoist Chu was impressed. 'Those snakes of his are also quite strong.' He could feel their power too.
'To remove Death aura like this… Even with scriptures I would have a hard item warding against them, and he's here purging it.' Monk Hushu thought to himself. 'He really is built for the Buddhist path.' He reckoned.
But while they were thinking this, the Crown prince had some other thoughts.
'That voice… Is it what Father was talking about?' Crown Prince Feng Shun thought, as a serious expression appeared on his face. 'Daoist Mu Lin's backing… Was that the voice of a Celestial?' he wondered.
From what he had learned, Lin Mu was being backed closely but a Celestial and for them to be watching him like this showed just how close they were.
'The way they talked too… What kind of a relation do they have?' Crown Prince wondered.
He could only marvel at the power of a Celestial and also the guidance that had been provided to Lin Mu. Just a little guidance was all that was needed for a solution to be presented.
Lady Kang was also wondering if that voice was the backing of Lin Mu.
'That wave of Karma, was certainly not from an Immortal. It was too strong for a Celestial too… Is that the true backing of Daoist Mu Lin?' Lady Kang couldn't help but wonder.
While she knew that Lin Mu had the backing of a Celestial from her investigation into him, she didn't expect it to be this strong. She had also observed the tournament and seen the Cloud Serpent at the end that had crushed third Prince Feng Backing.
That kind of power certainly didn't belong to an Immortal. Then there was also the behavior of the three Emperors. Having been a merchant for so long, she knew how to read their behavior.
She had met plenty of Transcendent Immortals, and as such wasn't a stranger too them. In the Kang Clan itself, there had been many Transcendent Immortals too. Thus lady Kang had plenty of exposure to them, and knew how they acted.
She knew for sure they were rattled by something earlier, and had been trying to maintain their composure.
'The only thing that would be able to do that is a Celestial no doubt.' Lady Kang thought to shelf, before cementing the fact that Lin Mu was fully being backed by a Celestial in her mind.
~SHUA~
She didn't have the time to think much after this though, as the situation in the Teleportation Channel was getting serious.
Lin Mu was like the Snowplow attached to the front of a Train right now. He passed through the Teleportation Channel and split the Death Aura with the help of the twins. The Snowflake that Mei Nienzhen had given was really coming in clutch and Lin Mu was thankful for it.
'It was definitely worth feeding her all those times.' Lin Mu couldn't help but think.
For the price of a little food, their lives were definitely worth it. In fact, Lin Mu reckoned he should get her more food if she wanted too.
'Perhaps Little Shrubby and I can pack a year long package for her.' Lin Mu noted in his mind for later.
~CRACK~
But he was soon brought out of his thoughts by the sound of something cracking.
"Huh?" Lin Mu looked at the Snowflake and saw that it one of its points had broken. "What!?" He was shocked.
~CRACK~
And a few seconds another one of the points broke.
"This… It can't take the load." Lin Mu realized.
"It wasn't built to resist Death Aura of this density. Its only surviving because of you three right now." Xukong replied.
Lin Mu furrowed his brows and thought of a potential solution. His spatial perception searched for their destination and could vaguely see something beyond all the Death aura. It was heavily obscured but Lin Mu hoped that it was the end.
"We'll just have to bear through it." Lin Mu stated. "We can get through this!" he said with gritted teeth.
He prepared for any impending problem and roused the Immortal Qi in his body to the full extent. His vitality also started growing, while his heart beat like a drum, pumping blood through his body.
~WOONG~ WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~
The Snowflake had four points broken by now, but was still managing to hold on. The light beam from its center was just as effective at purging the Death aura as before, but Lin Mu didn't know how long it would last.
~CRACK~CRACK
Two more points snapped off, making Lin Mu tense.
'Come on… You can hold on.' Lin Mu prayed in his mind.
~HISS~
Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang could sense Lin Mu's anxiety and poured in more of their Qi to make it easier. ~BOOM~
The beam of light got thicker and burst out in the form of a cone, cleaning out a large span of the channel.
"There! I can see it!" Crown Prince Feng Shun said out loud. A location could now be seen by everyone, even if they didn't have Spatial Perception. It was well lit and was quite big, making it hard for them to ignore it.
Though the best thing was that, no Death Aura was present in or around it!
"We're almost there! Everyone hold on!" Lin Mu shouted before pushing through the last segment of the Death Aura. "HAAAH!" this was the thickest part and felt like a wall made out of Sand.
~BOOM~
But the Snowflake managed to breakthrough it as well, before crumbling into pieces.
~SHATTER~
"We… We're out!" Ziran exclaimed.
Monk Hushu and Min Ju looked behind at the vast expanse of Death Aura they'd left behind and took breaths of relief.
"Wait… We're not slowing down!" Daoist Chu realized something.
