Ocean Raker had also developed dark purple streaks on it and exuded an eerie aura. Lin Mo glanced at it for a moment before holding the longsword horizontally and slashing at the distant beasts.

"Disaster Sword: Second Form- Flood!

" with his command, the dark purple sword slash transformed into a colossal amount of water.

The water was dark purple too, as if it had come from the abyssal depths of the underworld. It engulfed everything in its path, including the previous corpses of the Chimeric Beasts and the living ones. An area of over seven kilometer was engulfed in this dark water as it continued to flood everything.

All living things that were caught in it drowned instantly and perished before their bodies were reduced to mere blood and washed away. The same happened to the Mantis Chimeric Beast that died as well.

~WHOOSH~ Though what was left behind was a sea of wisps that rushed towards Lin Mo to be absorbed.

~SHUA~

The cape behind him rose once more, reaching a height of three hundred meters this time!

The pressure exuding from Lin Mo was also greater with the Qi fluctuation coming from him reaching the fifth tribulation stage of the immortal realm!

'Did he breakthrough?' Ziran wondered sensing this. 'But there was no tribulation.' He was rather confused at how it was happening.

The Offering Hall had now been secured with just two slashes and no Chimeric Beast seemed to be approaching as easily.

"Now to deal with the pests.

" Lin Mo said as he looked into the distance where Crown Prince Feng Shun, Elder Hu and Crown Princess Shang were holding back three Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Chimeric Beasts.

~WOOOOM~

With a single step, Lin Mo disappeared into the void.

"Let's go after him.

" Min Ju said.

"We can't let him be alone.

" She now understood what Lin Mu had meant before about what he was going to do was not normal.

"Yes, his injuries are certainly not fine. Whatever he's doing won't be without a cost.

" Monk Hushu agreed.

Even though he was apprehensive about this new 'form' of Lin Mu, he still wouldn't turn back on his promise.

The five individuals all stood up and went after Lin Mu, though Qiao De was still trembling from the fear he had felt before. Finding Lin Mo wasn't hard for them either, as the large cape fluttered in the sky, acting as a beacon for them.

And by the time they reached Lin Mo, the battle had already ended.

The corpses of two Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm Cyclopean Chimeric Beasts laid on the ground, having been divided cleanly in half.

Lin Mo stood over them, while shocked Crown Prince Feng Shun and Elder Hu stood not far.

They were s till standing in an offensive stance, as if they couldn't come out of the shock.

"He… Killed them in one go?

" Crown Prince Feng Shun muttered as he looked at the transformed form of Lin Mu.

"Daoist Lin Mu, you—

"

"Tut tut~ I am Lin Mo.

" The man replied with a devilish smile as two large wisps flew out of the corpses and were absorbed into his body.

"Process this all later, and follow behind.

" He said as he flew towards where Crown Princess Shang was fighting.

"That person can't be Lin Mu, can he?

" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked in doubt.

"That aura and presence… even Father doesn't have it.

"

"It's hard to believe, but it is him. We saw him change with our own eyes.

" Ziran replied.

"That feeling… those words… that was him?!

" Crown Prince Feng Shun remembered what he had felt just a few minutes ago.

"Unfortunately yes…

" Qiao De said while trembling at the thought.

"What did he do?

" Elder Hu asked.

"Why's he like this?

" he almost couldn't believe his eyes.

"We… don't know exactly.

" Daoist Chu replied.

"Lin Mu warned us before.

" Min Ju chimed in.

"He's taking a gamble with this… and I suppose the cost for it is himself.

"

"Amitabha… May Buddha guide him back to 'safety.'

" Monk Hushu could only prey.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

They followed behind Lin Mo and tried to catch up but they couldn't as he was simply too fast due to using Blink.

~SHING~SHING~SHING~

Along the way, he slashed out on the sides, clearing out any of the Chimeric Beasts that were left alive. More souls were added to his cape and by the time he reached his destination the cape had reached a height of four hundred meters.

Crown Princess Shang who felt the unsettling presence approaching almost flinched when it suddenly spiked and turned up in front of her.

"Daoist Lin Mu?

" She was in the middle of attacking the fly winged Antelope Chimeric Beast when the man with the devilish smile appeared behind it.

"Pretty flowers shouldn't be tainted like this.

" Lin Mo teased before thrusting the Sword.

"Disaster Sword: Third Form - Eruption.

" He uttered causing the sword energy to transform.

It turned into a fiery purple volcano that exploded over the flying antelope.

The chimeric beast couldn't even let out a cry before it was entirely consumed by the purple lava and reduced into ash.

Seeing the act of Lin Mo, Crown Princess Shang couldn't help but be stunned. 'Is he really the same person?' She thought to herself. The handsome face was the same, but the purple and red eyes along with his domineering Aura made him seem unapproachable. Crown Princess Shang felt like she needed to submit to this person and didn't even realize when she was kneeling.

~step~step~step~

Lin Mo approached her with a smile on his face before touching her face and lifting it gently with his hand.

"At least someone knows the etiquette well.

" Lin Mo said as he gazed into her eyes. Crown Princess Shang felt her heart racing while her face flushed into a deep shade of red.

By now, the others had arrived as well and saw the two in a rather strange state.
