The Eleventh Prince was now truly using his full power and it was very strong.
With the sphere covering him fading away, Lin Mu could feel the sheer amount of power exuding from the prince's body. The armor that he had created was on another level and Lin Mu could tell that it was not simple.
"Sky Thunder Shotel!" The prince called out as a bolt of lighting condensed in his hand.
The lightning transformed and turned into a gleaming Shotel.
Lin Mu looked at the curved weapon and found it to be condensed from a mix of lightning energy and immortal Qi.
'This is different than his armor.' Lin Mu noticed while also staying alert.
"Now then… DIE!" The prince shot towards Lin Mu.
He swung the Shotel, its curved blade slithering around Lin Mu's neck trying to cut it.
~CLANG~
But before it could get within an inch of Lin Mu, Ocean Raker was stuck in front of it. Lin Mu grasped the swords handle with his right hand and used his left hand to push the blade.
~BZZT~
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the next moment though, an arc of lightning shot from the Shotel and struck Lin Mu.
"ARGH!" Lin Mu felt the electricity coursing through his body, while his muscles tried to resist it.
The electricity tried to make his muscles contract against his wishes, but Lin Mu held on. If it were an immortal Qi cultivator, their bodies might not be able to resit this. But Lin Mu who was a body cultivator as well, resisting this was still possible.
"Hah, you can actually stand this." The prince said as a scowl appeared on his face. "Let's see how long you can last then!"
~RUMBLE~
The power of the Shotel increased as more and more electricity poured out of it, electrocuting Lin Mu.
'I need to break contact!' Lin Mu understood.
Gritting his teeth, his focused on his Aperture and drew out a few wisps of Immortal Essence. Doing this while also being electrocuted was a tough task, but Lin Mu had his earlier training to thank him.
'It's good that I practiced the Boulder Collapsing Fist, or I might not have been able to do this….' Lin Mu directly infused the Immortal Essence wisps in his arms, amplifying their strength by several times.
"HAAAH!" With more power in his hands, he pushed back causing the Shotel to slide off his blade.
~GRIND~
But due to the curved blade of the Shotel, it actually grazed Lin Mu's left hand that he was using to push the Ocean raker. When the Shotel touched his golden skin, it made a grinding sound, as if a blade was being sharpened.
A shallow cut was actually left on the side of his left palm, by the time the Shotel was pushed away.
~HUU~ HUU~
Lin Mu took deep breaths, trying to calm down his heart that was agitated from the recent electrocution. This clash had enlightened him about a weakness of his body.
'Lightning can still affect me like this…' Lin Mu understood.
It was a side effect of having his golden body. While Lin Mu could resist the lightning from others, it seemed like once it reached the level of the prince, it could actually paralyze him.
His Golden Body made it easier for him to conduct the electricity, thereby making him weaker to it.
Having grasped this, Lin Mu's mind quickly worked to finding a solution for it. He knew that he couldn't change the golden body, but he could very well compensate for the weakness using something else.
'I guess I have to use all my abilities,' Lin Mu made up his mind and teleported to put some distance between them.
The prince who saw Lin Mu disappearing like that was a bit surprised.
"Oh? Was that actual teleportation?" The Prince spoke. "I thought you were simply fast, but I guess I was mistaken."
Lin Mu who heard that raised his brow.
'How did he sense it now? His immortal sense— It's Improved?!' Lin Mu suddenly discovered that the man's immortal sense seemed to be a lot stronger than before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot just that, but its range had already increased to reach a five kilometer area. This was not something that would be possible normally, making Lin Mu think that the Seven Heaven Divine Armor was behind it.
"Surprised by my perception? Hahah! This is merely a fraction of what my Seven Heaven Divine Armor can do!" The prince said with pride.
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, raising the danger level of the prince by another level.
'So it's not just an increase in strength, but also an increase in senses.' Lin Mu thought to himself, as his gaze went to the crown that the prince was wearing.
It didn't take him much to realize that the crown was different than the rest of the armor.
'The crown must be behind it. There's no other reason why it would be used. If it was meant for defense, a helmet would be a better fit than a crown in protecting the head.' Lin Mu reckoned.
~huu~
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu got his thoughts in order and prepared a strategy.
'I need to slow him down first.' Lin Mu saw the prince rushing towards him at a great speed.
The wings made out of wind and vines flapped at a high frequency, making them look like mere blurs. It was similar to the wings of a dragonfly that were hard to see when they were flying.
The prince slashed out with the Sky Thunder Shotel, sending forth and arc of lightning that split the air apart. It crackled like coals in a forge and make the hair on ones body stand up.
"Doesn't matter if you can use teleportation if I can get you before that!" The prince said while a wide smile appeared on his face.
The arc sped through the air and looked like it would reach Lin Mu effortlessly.
But just before t could, Lin Mu spoke.
"True Earth Heart Dao Embryo!"
