Chapter 1379 Immortal Strengthening Scripture!

1379 Immortal Strengthening Scripture!

‘There is something wrong…’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
He looked at his body and the shattered armor of the Mortal Strengthening Scripture.
While it looked to be shattered, its pieces had actually not dissipated like normal. Instead, they were lying around him and seemed to be getting crushed into a finer powder form.
If this was all, Lin Mu would not have thought about it much, but what bothered him more was that a part of the immortal qi was being channeled into this.
“It’s absorbing the immortal qi?” Lin Mu saw but couldn’t tell how it was possible.
~DENG~
The pressure on Lin Mu doubled once more, forcing his body half way into the ground.
“Ugh, I need to focus…” Lin Mu gathered his will and continued to circulate the immortal qi and vitality within his body in order to maintain a balance.
Then there was also the continuous infusion of Immortal qi that was happening from the top. Lin Mu noticed wisps of blue immortal qi slipping into his Dantian too.
‘Seems like Elder Niji and Lanbao might have done this.’ Lin Mu quickly guessed.
~HUALA~
A few seconds later, the powdered armor fragments of the Mortal Strengthening scripture rose like swirling dust. It was unexpected since the gravity around Lin Mu was very high right now. He couldn’t even estimate how many times higher than normal it was.
“Hang on a minute, aren’t these the runes that make up the formula of the Mortal Strengthening Scripture?” Lin Mu saw that the ‘dust’ had formed several runes.
These runes were familiar to him.
After all, he had studied them to learn the Mortal Strengthening Scripture in the first place.
But now a change was happening to the runes.
“These weren’t part of it before… did it break or malfunction?” Lin Mu wondered before realizing there was no irregular qi circulation for him.
~HONG~
Finally, the runes made from the dust multiplied before turning darker. From their normal brown color they became ebony. The drain on Immortal qi increased by another level and was infused into the Ebony colored runes.
“A new formula? This skill isn’t mortal strengthening scripture anymore…” Lin Mu could see an entirely new set of qi circuit mixed into the skill.
This wasn’t a spirit qi circuit either as Lin Mu felt the Immortal qi within his body replacing it. As time went by, Lin Mu realized that the Skill he had cultivated disappeared before a new one replaced it entirely.
~CRACKLE~
The runes let off a crackling sound and rushed onto Lin Mu’s skin.
~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~
Every time they hit his skin, they made a ringing sound due to the golden body.
At first Lin Mu was worried that the two techniques might be interfering with each other, but then a minute later his worry disappeared when he saw that the runes passed easily.
Soon all of the runes had been imprinted onto Lin Mu’s skin, allowing a string of information appearing in his mind..
‘Only a mortal who has turned into an immortal will reveal the secrets of this technique. Now stand in the face of danger and roar at it, for the Immortal Strengthening Scripture will bear all blows!’ Lin Mu heard a brazen voice in his head.
Then as if on instinct, Lin Mu raised up his head and let out a roar.
~ROAR~
“Eek!” Lanbao was started by it and even Elder Niji was taken aback by the roar.
It seemed to be inhuman, as if a great beast was challenging the skies.
~SHUA~
Along with Lin Mu’s roar the immortal qi vortex sped up and was sucked into his body within a second.
~RUMBLE~
And finally, he saw a few dots appearing in the top of the dome. They were glowing red and intense bubbles were coming from it. Lin Mu also sensed a feeling of heat, making him realize that they weren’t just red but were actually hot!
These dots expanded to look like large rocks that were boiling the water around them.
“Are those the meteors? They are actually unaffected by the ocean?!” Elder Niji was shocked.
The biggest difference seemed to be that the meteors had shrunk in size greatly and were now just a few feet wide. Despite this though, a great mass was contained within them and they were incredibly heavy.
Lin Mu witnessed them touching the dome of the Deep Sapphire Island but then passing through it unhindered.
“Of course… they are a form of Heavenly tribulation and cannot be restrained by formations.” Elder Niji muttered to himself.
“LIN MU!” But Lanbao was worried that these meteors were about to strike Lin Mu.
She knew the truth about them and how dangerous they really were. They might look small, but they had been made like that intentionally due to the Immortal Tribulation.
Lin Mu raised his hands in response propping them up as if he was holding up a large load above his body.
”Immortal Strengthening Scripture: Sky Prop!”
~HUM~
The runes of the scripture burst out of his body and formed a pillar like shell around him. The shell was formed just a moment before the meteors struck his body.
~BOOM~
The sound of the first meteor striking it was like that of a great explosion. The ground below him shattered and his body was embedded even further.
~BOOM~
The second meteor directly caused a shock wave that turned the ground into a crater. And at the center of this crater was the pillar like shell.
It still stood solid and was unwavering.
~BOOM~
Then the third meteor arrived, pushing it into the ground even more.
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
It was as if Lin Mu was a nail and the Meteors were the hammer. They kept on hammering him into the earth, hoping to send him directly into the bowels of the earth.
Elder Niji and Lanbao watched in horror as the Meteors just didn’t stop. Looking up they saw hundreds more that seemed to be arriving.
