Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2493  Soul Fragment

"Is this really fine?" Daoist Chu asked as he looked at the distant figure of Lin Mu.

"Our goal was to either get the treasury or to destroy it from getting in Yao Changying's hand." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "This ends up being the same anyways." He added.

"Yeah, if he feels like he can do it, we should let him." Ziran agreed.

"Amithabha, I believe in the Daoist Lin Mu's choices." Monk Hushu was in agreement too.

"If you guys say so." Daoist Chu replied. "Though the method he intends to do it… We won't be seeing 'that' guy again, would we?" he asked, almost shivering at the old memories.

"Lin Mo wasn't all that bad." Crown Princess Shang responded. "Sure he was a bit domineering and he didn't actually harm us, he even saved us." She said with surprising enthusiasm.

Daoist Chu couldn't help but look at her with a bewildered expression.

"I…" he didn't even know how to respond to the clear favoritism that the Crown princess was showing.

"Let it be for now, he's starting." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, silencing them.

They all focused on Lin Mu who was a few hundred meters from them. After deciding to take Lin Mo's offer, he had talked with his companions about his plan. It was important to tell them about it too, and he wished to take their opinion on it too. If they were against it, he would have declined Lin Mo.

But much to his surprise, they were fine with whatever decision he was taking. Plus since the soul would be getting destroyed anyways, they saw it as a win. Thus the Crown Prince readily agreed to it and carried out Lin Mu's request.

And to take some precautions, Lin Mu decided to not do it on the ship. He asked Crown Prince Feng Shun to halt the ship in a somewhat desolate place, just in case some accident happened.

Even if Lin Mo was confident of doing this, Lin Mu didn't want to be careless since they were dealing with a Celestial Soul. If they did this in the Capital City and some accident happened, things could get really, really bad.

Thus it was much better for Lin Mu do it out in the wild.

He even asked the ship to be kept away so that they won't be caught in it. Lin Mu also wished for Crown Prince Feng Shun and the others to be away, but they insisted on watching. Assuring that they would be fine after setting up some protective measures.

There were a few layers of barriers and a protective Formation Array quickly set up before Lin Mu began the process.

"The same as before… Repeat after me," Lin Mo's voice echoed. "Reap the souls of all creations, take their providence as yours and bring forth Hell upon the Myriad Heavens! — Behold The Murdering Heart Sutra!"

Lin Mu began chanting it, as an unsettling and ominous aura spread from him. His companions that were watching him couldn't help but tremble as the aura washed over them.

~HUALA~

Lin Mu's body was covered in a dark purple energy and couldn't be seen. Though this time around, the activation of the Murdering Heart Sutra was not as high profile like in the Bridge Plane. Lin Mu didn't know if it was because that was the first time, but this time around the process was a lot more 'smooth'.

The change from Lin Mu to Lin Mo was almost effortless.

Lin Mu still saw everything like before, but could tell that he wasn't fully in control. He was more like a passenger in a carriage, simply watching from behind. 'No… if I want to I can gain the control back at any moment.' Lin Mu could still feel it. 'The last time was simply because I was exhausted beyond measure.' He felt a lot more relieved after learning this.

And while this went in his mind, a devilish smile was blooming on his face.

"Finally… it's good to be back in a body." Lin Mo said as he lightly stretched his neck. "Now then… Let's see." He said before withdrawing the Polyhedral Crystal from the ring's storage space.

~SHUA~

He causally held it in his hand and observed it for a few seconds before releasing his power.

~HUALA~

A burst of dark purple energy was released from his hands and quickly covered the entirety of the Soul Container. "It's quite tough… but not tough enough." Lin Mo smirked as he increased the power.

The Devil Qi that was covering the Soul Container put a great strain on it until finally it couldn't withstand it and the Qi drilled into it!

"Ah, finally!" Lin Mo could now feel the soul inside it directly as his energy started to shroud it.

But a few seconds after he did that, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"Looks like I was wrong." Lin Mo spoke.

"Wrong? How?" Lin Mu became anxious again. "I had thought that it was lacking energy simply because the soul had been kept in the Soul Container for too long. But now that I've touched it, I can tell that this isn't a complete soul… this is only a fragment of a Soul." Lin Mo explained.

"Only a fragment? So it's not a Celestial Soul?" Lin Mu was confused.

"It is certainly a Celestial Soul. It wouldn't be able to exist for this long if it was not, especially not as a fragment." Lin Mo replied.

"If that's just a fragment, then where's the rest of it?" Lin Mu questioned.

"We'll know soon enough." Lin Mo said as he began the process of consuming it.

~SCREECH~

As soon as he did though, a mind shaking scream was heard coming from the soul.

"Noisy!" Lin Mo was not pleased by it and simply increased his power, quickly suppressing it and overpowering whatever resistance the soul fragment had.

In just a few seconds, the fragment was consumed and Lin Mu could feel a stream of memories pouring in his mind!
