Feng Baxing's actions were certainly unexpected for Lin Mu.

After all, for the Third Prince to use the Sky Churning Tempest, he would have had to be at the Sixth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm. He had already used 5 of the winds beforehand, and as such shouldn't have been able to use it by the order of elimination.

And yet, here he was doing it.

The Shearing Hurricane Fan let off a terrifying amount of Immortal Qi while Dao Traces of Wind also mixed in. It didn't take much for Lin Mu to realize that Feng Baxing was not messing around now.

He was giving it his all.

Lin Mu's expression became darkly serious while his Immortal Qi and Immortal essence surged as well. He knew defending this was not going to be easy.

~HONGLONG~

A glaring mix of Purple and Azure winds coalesced and rose into the sky. Clouds formed within seconds and turned inky black while staggering winds blew.

The clouds covered an area of ten kilometer and turned stormy.

~RUMBLE~

Sure enough, the rumbling of thunder could soon be heard as streaks of lightning snaked through the clouds.

Lin Mu extended his Immortal sense to check just how strong it was. It was not his first time going against lighting and wondered if he could endure it.

'If it is at the level of normal lightning, I'll be able to endure it with no issues. But if it is something on the level of Tian Ning's Nine Heavens Thunderclap technique it'll be tough.' Lin Mu thought.

~BZZT~

But when his Immortal sense actually reached the clouds, he received a rude shock!

"Ah!

" Lin Mu held his head which shook in pain and gritted his teeth.

Feng Baxing noticed this and knew exactly what Lin Mu was trying to do.

"Hahah! Trying to test the clouds with your Immortal Sense? You are stupid if you think you can probe the Sky Churning Tempest's clouds like that. You would have to be innately talented in the lightning element as well as be on the same cultivation base as me to even endure that.

The sheer amount of Lighting Dao Traces in it will zap a First Tribulation Stage Immortal to death if they tried the same.

" Feng Baxing laughed seeing the pain of his foe.

Lin Mu didn't care about the mocking though, and simply focused on the information that Feng Baxing had ended up providing it instead.

'Lighting Dao Traces, huh…' Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and activated his Spatial perception.

~SHUA~

In the next second, the area changed greatly and Lin Mu perceived the world with a different lens.

He could see flickering disturbances in the Spatial Fabric that were definitely not Spatial in nature.

'Normal Dao Traces won't be strong enough to case something like this, only Lightning can… as such, that is certainly a great amount of Lightning Dao Traces.' Lin Mu grasped.

One look was enough for him to tell that this might even on the same level as what Tian Ning was at. But at the same time, it exceeded him which was a bit strange.

'There's no way Feng Baxing is also that talented in the lightning element. And he hasn't reached the 6th tribulation stage either and has not experience a lightning elemental immortal tribulation either.

This only means there is another factor affecting all this.' Lin Mu analyzed rapidly.

~RUMBLE~

~WHOOSH~

The storm continued to churn and soon turned into a tempest that was wreaking havoc on the land. It was a skill that would intensify the longer it continued and needed to be avoided as much as possible.

~STOMP~

Lin Mu directly used his body's improved strength and stomped on the ground to gain momentum in the blink of an eye.

~Crack~

The ground cracked under his weight and force, but also propelled him in the direction he wanted to go. This was faster than flying and allowed him to reach a high velocity in a short time.

~BOOM~

And just as he did that, a bolt of lightning struck where he had been standing previously.

The ground exploded again on impact, and debris was showered everywhere. Some of the debris that was shoot too high up was instead picked up by the churning winds and started spinning in the air.

~BOOM~

Lin Mu narrowly dodged another lightning bold and shifted his direction while the ground exploded again. More rocks and stones were added to the spinning winds above, growing its force.

~BOOM~

~BOOM~

~BOOM~

Lin Mu continued to dodge and avoided all of the lightning bolts that were targeting him.

'How can he dodge them all the time? The lighting is faster than almost all immortals…' Feng Baxing had a serious expression on his face while thinking. 'The only way one would be able to do that was if they can predict it in the first place.' He reckoned.

Feng Baxing had actually hit the nail on the right spot and was correct.

Lin Mu was basically predicting the lightning strikes by observing the concentration of the Lightning Dao Traces in the sky. Whenever lightning was about to strike in some area, the concentration would suddenly spike.

As such, while the lightning would strike within a fraction of a second, it was still going to fall in a known area. Thus Lin Mu had a couple of seconds to react and dodge.

And for Lin Mu, even a second was more than enough to react to something like this.

'Hmm… if one uses lightning in this way, I can still dodge as long as I predict the energy shifts. I don't need the Spatial skills just yet!' Lin Mu was internally pleased.

Minute after minute passed like this, while the tempest continued to grew.

The storm blotted out the light, and only the snaking lightning was the source of illumination left. At the same time, a cyclone had formed which was churning with thousands of rocks and other debris that had been shot into the sky.
