Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2486 Defeating Trap And Treasure Within

Lin Mu's Searing Hot energy was complemented by Little Shrubby's flames. The beast's Absolute Flame Command further amplified the power and the two melded easily, but this was just a part of it. Crown Prince Feng Shun's Lightning also joined in it.

It became amplified with the Metal elemental energy present in Lin Mu's Searing Hot energy and jumped between it. The combination of the three attacks was rather powerful as they turned into a spiraling beam that drilled into the barrier and rushed into the Withering Energy!

~HISS~

The effect was almost immediate as the Pure Yang energies began acting against the Withering energy. The dense Withering Energy tried to resist it but the combined force of Lin Mu, Little Shrubby and Crown Prince Feng Shun was able to overpower it.

As if cotton was lit on fire, the mass of Withering Energy burned away under the combined assault of the Pure Yang energies and finally cleared out.

~BOOM~

But it was as if a cloud of gunpowder had been lit once all the Withering Energy was consumed, resulting in a large explosion!

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

The Formations were the first to crack and after that the vine and thorn barriers that Ziran and Crown Princess Shang had set up burned away.

Monk Hushu's Golden Vajra Illumination was not affected since it wasn't a normal barrier skill in the first place.

~HONG~

Thankfully, the explosion had become weak enough from this that it was easily resisted by Lin Mu and his companions. In fact, Little Shrubby simply stood at the front and created a layer of flames with his Absolute Flame Command and reabsorbed the flames of the explosion.

~SHUA~

A few seconds later, all of it was cleared out and they could see the aftermath of it all.

"That was close," Lin Mu said as he took a breath.

"Hopefully the Temple isn't damaged." Daoist Chu said, "it would be a shame if this ended up destroying what we came to get." He added.

"It shouldn't." Ziran replied. "If it is a prison that warrants the two Wrathful Deity Statues, I don't think it'll be that weak." He added.

A layer of soot was now left everywhere and most of the rock had been scorched black. The moisture in the cave had also been turned into steam, causing the view to become a bit foggy.

~WHOOSH~

But a wave of hand was all that was needed for the Crown Prince to clear it out and reveal the lone standing temple.

"Looks like Ziran is correct." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.

"It's standing as is." Crown Princess Shang could see no damage on it at all. "Hmm… There's definitely some kind of restriction on it." Lin Mu said narrowing his eyes. "I can faintly see a link between the statues and the temple… but it's too vague." He added.

"I wouldn't be surprised. The Wrathful Deity Statues are similar to the Demonic Sentinel we encountered." Ziran spoke. "Though these seem to be mostly depleted now." He added.

"That makes sense. Who knows how long they've been standing here. Plus, our attack might have drained more of its energy too." Daoist Chu said after thinking about it.

"At least that means there shouldn't be more defenses left." Monk Hushu muttered.

"Let's check it again." Lin Mu said before using his Immortal Sense.

~SHUA~

He properly covered the entire Temple and entered it from the gap in the gate. The stone gate was still in the position that Lin Mu had left it in and only had a gap of about four inches open. It was rather surprising, as even the gushing Withering Energy had not managed to push it open.

'Does it only open if someone personally moves it?' Lin Mu wondered. "Looks like I'll have to see it directly then." He moved to open the gate.

~CREAK~

The stone gate scraped against its hinges, having not moved for a while. But against Lin Mu's strength, it wasn't much and soon it was fully opened, letting everyone see what was inside.

The Interior of the temple was actually quite small and the walls were a lot thicker than they had thought. "These walls… they're over three meters thick each?" Daoist Chu was surprised. "The actual space inside the temple is barely two square meters." "No wonder it rendered the explosion with ease. It wasn't just the statues protecting it." Ziran said, but found it strange. "The only question left is, what is it protecting?" he asked, looking at the centerpiece of it all.

A pedestal was present there, which was surrounded by a white spherical barrier. "The treasure should be inside it." Crown Prince Feng Shun guessed. "What kind of barrier is it?" he asked.

"Hmm… It seems rather basic." Daoist Chu answered, narrowing his eyes. "I don't sense any particular defensive capabilities from it."

"How about you Daoist Lin Mu?" Monk Hushu inquired for a second opinion.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu checked the barrier with both his Immortal Sense as well as his Spatial Perception but found nothing dangerous from it.

"It's a very simple barrier. It should be easy to remove." Lin Mu stated as he approached it.

~STEP~

And as soon as he stepped inside the temple's threshold, the white spherical barrier flickered.

~SHUA~

In the next moment, it blipped out of existence, revealing what was hidden inside.

"Whoa…" Lin Mu could now see a rather unique object.

On the pedestal, a hollow polyhedral crystal seemed to be floating and within this crystal, an indigo colored wisp could be seen.

But that wasn't all, as something was wrapped around this crystal. It was a rather horrendous looking rope of some kind. The rope wasn't normal though and had bone segments on it along with what looked like gnarled tendons. The rope split somewhere in the middle and divided into multiple ropes that were all wrapped around the crystal.

"What is that?" The group was astounded.

Only when Ziran took a closer look did he realize something.

"That's a spine."
