Chapter 2289 Unbreakable Roots



Chapter 2289  Unbreakable Roots

To the others, the roots were impermeable, and their immortal senses were useless against it.

Ziran couldn't use his Eyes of the Underdark for it either, as it wasn't a skill that could look through solid objects in the first place. Crown Princess Shang did try to use her expertise of immortal herbs and plants to check what kind of roots these were, but was unable to feel anything.

But for Lin Mu, his Spatial Perception allowed him to look through the very void. As such even if something was trying to hide, it couldn't hide against the very background of spatial fabric. And when he did, he found the things he had suspected from the start.

'Chimeric Immortal Qi, Death Qi, and a mixture of Baleful energies.' Lin Mu could see the flow of the Qis against the spatial fabric.

He observed them for a bit and saw that their flow was actually very stable and systematic. It flowed from the base of the roots and went up the network before disappearing past the range of Lin Mu into the rest of the earth.

This was more than enough to confirm the target for him.

"This is it." Lin Mu said. "This is the Chimeric Plant." "It really is that?" Daoist Chu said, finding almost no sign of the ominous plant that they had heard from Lin Mu. The roots were certainly big, but they didn't seem to have any signs of being dangerous. Neither were there any signs of there being Death Qi or Chimeric Qi around it. Thus it was hard to believe it at first. But since it had come out of Lin Mu's lips, they were fully trusting of it.

"I can see the Chimeric Qi inside it. There's no doubt about it." Lin Mu stated. "Amithabha, a foul existence such as this should be eliminated at the earliest." Monk Hushu broke his silence and directly took out his prayer beads.

~humm~

The beads trembled in his hands, as if excited.

Though this time they weren't excited because of Lin Mu, but because of being taken out to perform a righteous task.

Monk Hushu's progress and invoking the Tune of Buddhist Dao had earned him a devout approval from the prayer beads. As such, the beads weren't looking to jump ship the moment they say Lin Mu anymore. Now they could see that Monk Hushu was also worthy of them.

As such, the Monk was now a lot more safe using the prayer beads around Lin Mu. Though previously he was always anxious that the beads would run away from his hands and stick to Lin Mu.

It would have been quite embarrassing for him if that happened. And he wouldn't even be able to tell the temple as they would simply consider it as the right choice. After all the prayer beads had been nurtured in the temple over a long time with Buddhist incense.

As such the Prayer beads were fully allowed to pick their own master.

"That's right, we need to destroy these." Lin Mu was in agreement. "Though… there is something strange about this," Qiao De suddenly said.

"What is it?" Daoist Chu asked.

"The roots… they have no signs of being damaged by Daoist Mu Lin's earlier skill." Qiao De spoke. "We saw the signs on the rocks above, but none were here." He added.

"Isn't that just because the skill didn't reach this far?" Daoist Chu replied. "Yeah, even the markings on the rocks stopped far above the roots." Min Ju agreed.

But Lin Mu who heard it, narrowed his eyes and could see the validity.

"Hmm… let's test it first, then." Lin Mu said. "Qiao De can be right." He didn't deny it.

They had no idea the true extent of the power of Chimera Plants and from what Senior Xukong had told Lin Mu, they can be quite terrifying. After all, they were used by the Chimeric Fiend God in a war.

Thus, it was reasonable to expect a literal War Machine to be tough.

Otherwise, it would be rather embarrassing if the factory that made the soldiers would be destroyed with ease.

This was the very same plant that had brought the entirety of the Chimeric Fiend God's army to victory.

And this was just one of them. There was no telling how far it was spread, or how strong it could truly get.

They couldn't forget that it had only been a year since they had released the seed. The true potential of the Chimeric Plant was only revealed after a longer time. ~SHING~

Lin Mu drew out Afternoon Pine and directly slashed at the roots.

~CLANG~

And sure enough, the sword simply bounced off the surface of the roots.

"Huh." Crown Prince Feng Shun was surprised, and so were the others.

"Let me try a stronger cut," Lin Mu said, this time infusing Metal Elemental Immortal Qi into the sword.

Since the Metal element could suppress the Wood element, it was often the best choice against plants. ~CLANG~

And yet, no difference was made and Afternoon Pine was bounced off just like before.

"Perhaps harder than this." Lin Mu narrowed his eyes, as his aura changed.

~HUALA~

Sword Intent flowed from his body and poured into the sword, before he slashed at the roots again.

This time Lin Mu was using a proper slash that used his strength and if it was used on a giant boulder, it could be easily cut apart and shredded into gravel.

~GANGLAN~

The impact of the attack was certainly greater, and a slash was left on the ground and the rock wall behind the roots. But the roots themselves were left unaffected, with not even a single scratch on them.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes went wide.

"Okay… this is a lot worse than I thought." Lin Mu said, putting the sword away.

The group thought about it for a few seconds before thinking of alternative solutions.

"Maybe swords aren't good on it?" Daoist Chu suggested. "Fire might just work." "Yeah, fire is often good against plants." Qiao De nodded too.

"We can try that." Lin Mu said as he directly released searing hot energy from his body.

The energy, which was a mix of Fire, Metal and Earth elements flowed like Magma around him, and elevated the temperature of the area by at least a hundred degrees within seconds. The others were able to bear this due to being immortals, but anything that was normal should have started burning at it.

Of course, Lin Mu didn't stop there and controlled the searing hot magma and turned it into claws around his arm.

'Longgui Bulwark Armor: Magma Fury!' A large Magma claw slashed at the giant root, causing a small explosion as a large amount of smoke was produced.

~BOOM~

~SHAHA~

The area became filled with smoke, making it hard to see directly.

~WHOOSH~

But a wave of Crown Prince Feng Shun's wrist created a gust that blew away the smoke, revealing the area.

"It can't be…" they had thought that the smoke was due to the roots burning, but they were proven wrong.

"This…" Crown Princess Shang took a closer look and saw that only black marks were left on the surface of the roots, but no actual damage was inflicted onto them.

It was the same as the soot that would settle on a candle holder, but it wouldn't actually burn.

Lin Mu was astounded, as he had actually used quite a bit of his power in this. While it wasn't as strong as the Mountain Collapsing Fist from earlier, it was still good enough to bore a hole through a normal mountain.

And yet the roots showed no signs of damage at all.

The black marks left on its surface were like a mocking facade that teased them about their incompetence.

"Perhaps we should try too," Ziran spoke up. "The roots might have very specific weaknesses." He added.

"We all have different kinds of skills. One of them just might work." Lady Kang agreed.

She had been thinking about how to affect this and was going through the skills she knew. Among them, there were a couple she reckoned might just work against this.

"I'll go first then." Monk Hushu who had been ready since the start, spoke. "I'll try to weaken it from the inside." He said before controlling the Prayer beads.

~HONGLONG~

The beads split apart and surrounded the roots, before trying to constrict it.

"Golden Divine Vajra Purge!" Monk Hushu chanted for a minute before slamming his palms onto the roots.

~THUD~

His palms made a dull sound against the roots, before the prayer beads started to glow in a golden light.

The golden light covered that area of the roots and soon grew bright enough to make it hard to see anything. But it didn't stop there, as it tried to penetrate the roots.

The group was unable to see for a couple minutes before the light finally died down.

"Amithabha… It is Unbreakable."
