1557 The Prince Flips The Odds

Afternoon Pine had already been infused with a sufficient amount of Immortal Qi as well as Lin Mu’s Sword intent, allowing it to function on its own easily.

The double edged sword shone with a yellow light, as its size grew larger from the energy accumulating on it. Pine needles grew on its sides as another skill of it was activated.

~CLANG~

But much to Lin Mu’s surprise, the Sword was actually blocked!

“Huh?” Lin Mu raised his brows as he saw the prince holding the sword with his hand.

His hand was blocking the sword’s edge, and a yellow energy was covering it too.

“You aren’t the only one that’s good with metal.” The Prince scoffed and swatted the sword away with his hand.

~DENG~

Since Afternoon Pine was just being controlled remotely by Lin Mu’s Immortal sense, it was knocked away by the Prince’s power.

~SHUA~

But Lin Mu quickly took control over it and returned it to his side.

“I’ve had enough… You won’t live for long now.” The prince said as his face turned cold.

~HUMM~

A wave of energy spread out from his body once more alarming Lin Mu.

‘This is greater than before,’ Lin Mu realized.

At first, he thought that the prince was going to cause an explosion again, but that didn’t happen.

“The energy is condensing?” Lin Mu saw the wave of energy stopping after a certain distance.

Instead of spreading more, it stopped there and started to accumulate. In just a few moments, a sphere of pure elemental energies was condensed around the prince.

The seven elements stirred within the sphere.

Water rippled, fire blazed, earth rumbled, metal scraped, wood grew, wind spun and lightning sparked!

“I can’t let him continue!” Lin Mu understood.

He directly withdrew Wonder Seeker and pulled on its string. Immortal Qi flowed into the bow as a fire arrow condensed on it. Lin Mu didn’t release it right away though, as he let the power accumulate a bit more while the size of the arrow increased as well.

~TWANG~

And when he let go of the string, the arrow had already increased in size by three times!

~SWISH~

pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m It shot straight at the sphere covering the distance in a mere second before striking its surface.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

~BOOM~

An explosion happened as a blazing fire blocked Lin Mu’s line of sight.

And when it cleared, Lin Mu was surprised once more.

“It’s fine!?” Lin Mu saw.

“AHAHAHA! You think a mere attack like that will affect this?” The Prince laughed. “This is merely the start! None that have seen this ability have lived to tell the tale!” he proclaimed.

And just as he said that, a change started to happen within the sphere. The Prince’s body glowed with seven lights and the energy started to condense on it.

Wood Energy was the first to condense around his body, forming a robe that seemed to be woven from vines and leaves. It looked to be rather supple and was overflowing with vitality.

Then the Earth energy wrapped around the legs of the prince, forming a thick coating that soon turned into black granite like layer. The layer looked to be incredibly tough and heavy.

Next Metal energy formed a shell around his torso and arms, encasing it in a shining silver armor that also merged with the rock armor on his legs.

Wind energy gathered around his legs and back, forming two azure wings that seemed to be thin like that of a dragonfly. It only had an ethereal form at first, but then vines started to grow from the back of the metal armor.

These were the same vines that had formed the supple robe. They wiggled out from the metal armor and weaved through the wings, forming vein like patterns and giving the wings a solid form.

Then water energy wrapped the wings, giving them a sheen, and continued to spread onwards to the neck and shoulders of the prince. It formed a clasp at the front and flowed down, turning into a long cape.

The cape looked like a waterfall that fell into nothingness, making one feel awed and consumed upon seeing it.

Finally, Lightning and fire raged over the prince’s head. The two violent energies clashed with each other and circled around the prince’s head before forming a crown on it. The crown had arcs of lightning circling around it at all times while multiple flames burned from its circumference.

“You are fortunate, for you get to see my true strength.” The Prince spoke proudly. “Even Immortal Tribulations are nothing in front of my Seven Heaven Divine Armor!” he exclaimed.

Lin Mu watched as the sphere dissipated after the Prince’s armor was completed. It was clear that the sphere was there only to give the prince time to prepare his skill.

‘Seven heaven Divine Armor… it’s fully condensed from Elemental energies… How’s this possible?’ Lin Mu was confused. ‘For him to be able to use a skill like this, he would need to have an elemental affinity to all seven elements.’ He reckoned.

“This is not normal, Lin Mu.” Xukong spoke at this time. “I cannot sense any Dao insights on the man. And even the Dao Traces on his body seemed to be masked. The skill he is using isn’t something that is something he has learned himself.” He informed.

“No Dao Traces and no Dao insights?” Lin Mu furrowed his brows.

“For him to be able to condense the elemental energies into a physical form like this, he would need to either have Dao Embryos for all of them, or should have comprehended some Dao insights. But he has none of them. This is something not even Celestials would be able to accomplish easily.” Xukong warned.

Lin Mu’s expression tensed upon hearing this.

“Looks like I have a tough battle ahead of me, huh… guess this is why I had such a feeling of loss and the burning desire.” Lin Mu understood something at this point.

The prince was similar to him, having skills beyond what should be possible.

It was now going to be a battle of equals.
