Chapter 2400 Lin Mo
Each and every word of Lin Mu was spoken with power and enunciated well enough that it resounded across the plane.
Everyone present heard him and were stunned.
For his words were not mere words, but his entire intent.
They imbued every being with fear, whether they be man or beast. For it was a proclamation… A Proclamation of Death!
Daoist Chu, Ziran and Monk Hushu who were the closest to Lin Mu's position couldn't help but shiver as they basked in the presence of the ominous pillar. They wondered what was happening in there.
~HUALA~
They didn't have to wait long either though, as a few seconds later the pillar seemingly faded away revealing a person inside.
The trio of Lin Mu's companions were stunned as their eyes locked onto him.
"Daoist Lin Mu…?" They called out but couldn't help but feel doubt.
The person standing there had the same physical form as Lin Mu but they had a presence that was entirely different from him.
If Lin Mu gave one the feeling of trust and peace, this person gave the feeling of Chaos and domination.
With purple eyes that were tinged with a ring of red, the 'person' glanced at the three people near to him.
"Ah, I'd accept that name but I cannot taint the words of dear mother who bestowed that name with the best of intentions." The 'person' spoke.
"Who… Who are you?" Monk Hushu asked, known that the person in front of them wasn't truly Lin Mu.
"You can call me… Lin Mo." The person said with a devilish smile on his face.
His words sparked a hint of terror in Ziran's mind as if his worst assumptions had come true.
"That name… you…" Ziran couldn't even bring himself to say it.
"Shh~" Lin Mo brought a finger to his lips and hushed the half elf. "Don't make me kill his friends. Some things are best left unsaid." The smile returned to his face as a fang stuck out the corner of his lips playfully.
"Now then… Let's have a little party shall we?" Lin Mo said as he spread his hands in a carefree gesture.
"Party? What even—" Qiao De who was the most confused about this was about to speak before being interrupted by a look that shook his soul to the very bottom.
"Kneel" Lin Mo uttered with absolute authority.
"W-what?" Qiao De said feeling a great weight thrust upon his shoulders.
"KNEEL!" Lin Mo affirmed, this time the effect wasn't just restricted to Qiao De though and spread to everyone.
Daoist Chu felt as if an executioner's Axe was being held over his head, and would be brought down if he so much so as let out a breath. Ziran felt a great pressure from Lin Mo, something that he was actually familiar with.
It was a presence that was only developed by those that were in positions of authority for a very very long period of time. This was something developed by Sect Patriarchs, Emperors and the like after a long time of rule.
And yet, the same imperiousness was being exuded by Lin Mu.
Monk Hushu didn't have any vast thoughts and only felt like the person in front of them was beyond their understanding. The presence and aura exuding from them was a testament to it and continued to increase by the second.
They couldn't bear the imperiousness and their kneels buckled under the weight of his will.
"The unworthy shall not stand and speak in front of this majesty." Lin Mo stated, his previous playfulness disappearing and replaced by utter authority.
His voice echoed through air and earth, as if the medium didn't matter to it. Whomever heard it couldn't help but feel their knees go week and feel the urge to submit.
Even Crown Prince Feng Shun and Crown Princess Shang who were far away and in the middle of the fights felt it.
'Father?!' Crown Prince Feng Shun thought at first. "No… this can't be him… this 'dignity' is far superior." He understood.
The Crown Prince had only felt something like this from his father and grandfather.
'If it was Grandfather, would it be like this?' Crown Prince Feng Shun couldn't help but compare.
The same was the case for Crown Princess Shang as she also felt like her father and grandfather had suddenly appear for a moment.
But the subsequent clarity of thought allowed her to realize that this was someone far superior to that.
'Who is it? Who has managed to arrive in the midst of this?' Crown Princess Shang wondered as she thought about returning to the Offering Hall.
Unfortunately the battle in front of her did not allowed that and she was still forced to continue the fight.
Back at the Offering hall though, Lin Mo glanced at the three kneeling individuals and felt satisfied.
"See, wasn't that easy?" Lin Mo questioned nonchalantly.
His domineering attitude disappeared as well, while a lazy smile lingered on his face.
"Now then… with the formalities done, I believe it is time for me to do finish what I promised." Lin Mo said as he took out Afternoon Pine. "I know we haven't worked together before, but you better heed me or I'll shatter you." He said calmly.
~HUM~
The sword in his hand trembled in response but still yielded.
"Good." Lin Mo said as he held the sword sideways. "First to cull the riffraff… Disaster Sword!" he swung the blade.
A dark purple energy was imbued into the sword and turned into a harrowing blade that extended for ten kilometers!
The sword slash easily covered a majority of the Chimeric Beast swarm and divided them in half, before destroying their very being.
"This…" Daoist Chu and the others were left speechless at the 'upheaval'.
But this was just the start, as they saw millions of wisps rising from the dead Chimeric Beasts and the Black Fin Island members that had gotten caught up in it.
"Ah~ Nothing like some fresh souls." Lin Mo licked his lips.
