Chapter 1163 Exploding A Peak Dao Treading Realm Expert!

The Metal Sword Devestator was something that Lin Mu had come up with on the spot. Or more like it felt the most natural to him to do it this way. Swords were innately considered to be of the metal attribute and the Sword Dao gave birth to Sword Qi which was a derivative Qi made from metal spirit Qi and many others.

Since Lin Mu had comprehended the Sword Intent, he didn't need much effort to attach it to the Metal Devastator. In fact, unless he had reached the Advanced level of the sword intent, they would have been unable to create such sword imprints.

They were similar to the Sword Lights shot out by the Centennial Sword Ancestor and were composed of pure sword intent made with a sword. But in Lin Mu's case, it was different. Instead of the pure energy form of a sword light, they had turned into physical imprints that accompanied the metal devastator.

The Metal devastator had the property of sharpness and severance which was highly compatible with the Sword Dao and thus the Sword intent, allowing it to meld with it effortlessly.

Not only did this take the power of the Metal Devastator to the next level, but also helped enhance Lin Mu's own understanding of the Sword Intent.

'So it can resonate with the power of severance like this… and it's not just the power, there is more… a trace of Dao?' Lin Mu pondered while using the skill.

For him, time seemed to have slowed down as he entered a momentary trance.

He would have liked to spend more time in this, but unfortunately for this was not the time or place for it. He automatically left the state of trance when the Metal Sword Devastator reached Elder Gunkao.

Cloud Dragon Lift's restrictive effects were still present even if the vortex itself had stopped, but it was enough for the Elder to not be able to dodge.

~RIP~

Elder Gunkao's eyes went wide as the Ribbon of Metal Sword Devastator tore into his body as if it was tofu. The sword intent imbued into it directly tore apart his defensive tools, while the energy itself infiltrated into his meridians.

There it swam and slashed, ravaging them all before finally reaching the Dantian.

Elder Gunkao felt endless pain filling his body, but he was unable to let out even a peep. It was the kind of pain that would leave one breathless and paralyzed.

~BOOM~

After a momentary pause, the back of Elder Gunkao blasted open as a part of the energy along with the imbued sword intent exploded out, spraying minced flesh, bone and blood.

The rain of blood stained the white snow below, turning it a pale red.

The people of the northern tribes that witnessed this were left flabbergasted while the other elders couldn't help but let out shouts of unwillingness.

"NOO!!!"

"HEAD ELDER GUNKAO!!"

"You Bastards! DON'T THINK THIS IS THE END!"

"EVEN IF YOU KILL ELDER GUNKAO, OUR ENDEAVOR WILL NOT END!" Elder Ku Mi yelled.

~THUD~

Elder Gunkao fell to the ground and sank into the red snow stained with his own blood.

'The snow is so cold and yet… I feel so hot…' Elder Gunkao thought as the burning pain kept him awake.

Throngs of northern tribe members rushed to him while Lin Mu stopped Patriarch You Yi from going after Elder Gunkao.

"Why are we stopping?" Patriarch You Yi questioned, feeling confused.

"The attack is not over yet. It's best we retreat before the main phase of the skill activates." Lin Mu answered while also sending out a message to prevent the alliance members from approaching the area.

"Main Phase?" Patriarch You Yi repeated in doubt, before a thought appeared in his mind. "You mean that wasn't the full extent of your skill?" he asked, while continuing to retreat alongside Lin Mu.

"Mmhmm, the skill has a delayed effect. And it's perfect for when there are so many foes around the target." Lin Mu said as he kept his gaze on the dying elder.

'It seems like the Metal Sword Devastator is even better than I thought. The man can't even speak unlike the patriarch of the West Ocean Sect.' Lin Mu remembered.

The people of the northern tribes had already tried to feed Elder Gunkao pills, but they seemingly had no effect, their medicinal efficacy being destroyed by the energy of the metal sword devastator almost immediately.

And just when Lin Mu and Patriarch You Yi had retreated to the hill, it happened…

~KABOOM!!!!~

Elder Gunkao's body exploded at a moment's notice and a force unlike anything before was seen. It was even stronger than the attacks of the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators who had fought before and killed everyone that was around it almost instantly.

"This… what in the name of heavens is that…" Patriarch You Yi was left speechless.

"That is the same as the self detonation of peak Dao Treading Realm cultivator." Lin Mu explained.

~gasp~

Patriarch You Yi couldn't help but take in a mouthful of cold air, as he was sure that even he would be reduced to smithereens if he was within the radius of that attack. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

The self detonation of an expert that was close to the immortal ascension realm was no joke. Its power could easily reach the level of the Immortal Ascension realm and was terrifying.

If not for the fact that Lin Mu and Patriarch You Yi had reached far from the main site of the battle, the people of the alliance would have perished as well. Lin Mu had decided to use the Metal Sword Devastator only after checking for others around it.

But even then, the area of effect was a little too much and beyond his expectations as the people of the alliance along with the northern tribes were pushed back from the impact.

The snow melted and evaporated directly from the explosion and the bare soil was scorched until it was black. Deep cracks were even left behind as the entire battlefield looked nothing like before.
