Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2456  Power To Wipe All Life

Knowledge about the Celestial Qi was highly valuable and Lin Mu listened to it carefully, not wanting to miss even a bit.

After all, he never knew if the Heavenly Restrictions would apply strictly on the Rust Sky World again, preventing Xukong from speaking further about it. As such, he continued to listen as Xukong explained as much as he could until the restrictions stopped him again.

"So where exactly is the Saintess?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Hmm… Probably someplace where the restrictions are the lightest." Xukong said after thinking for a bit. "Possibly at the edge of this world's atmosphere." He guessed.

"Edge of the atmosphere?" Lin Mu looked high up as the rusty sky became visible to him.

From the surface, it only looked like the sky had a rust color, but if one went higher and higher, they would realize that the color wasn't just rusty due to dust in the air, but rather due to the presence of tens of millions of asteroids that surrounded the Rust Sky world.

Due to the distance and their number, the light that came from the sun diffused in a special way making the sky look rusty red in color.

It almost felt like the sky was always in a state of sunset, if one compared it to worlds with blue skies.

But when it was actually time for sunset in the Rust Sky World, the sky would instead turn a darker shade of purple instead. It was the way light interacted with the obstacles and became diffused over a long distance.

As such, the Rust Sky World certainly gave on a unique experience to a person seeing it for the first time.

Lin Mu continued to focus on the sky, trying to see if he could make out the asteroids. But even with his superior vision, it was simply impossible to see them from here. Little Shrubby who was lying on his lap, woke up and yawned. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"I'll go see the others." Little Shrubby said, having rested enough.

"sure." Lin Mu replied before looking at the sky again.

"I suppose she could be on one of the asteroids." Lin Mu muttered to himself, wondering what that might be like. Flying that far up as an immortal was very difficult and while they could certainly leave the world, that way it would exhaust most immortals before they even reached that point. Plus, the farther up they went, the more energy they would need to expend in order to elevate themselves, despite the fact the gravity would be getting weaker.

As Lin Mu thought about it though, his mind wandered towards something different.

"Senior Xukong… Since the Heavenly Restrictions are now lighter… By chance, is it possible that the Saintess can… Interfere here?" Lin Mu asked carefully.

"You mean using her power as a Celestial?" Xukong knew what Lin Mu was hinting at.

"Yes." Lin Mu replied, thinking of how it could be so much better if she could do that. 'If she can really do that, finding Yao Changying won't be a problem and eliminating her would be easy too.' He thought to himself.

"Even if the restriction has reduced, that doesn't mean that she can interfere." Xukong denied. "The power of a celestial, especially someone like her, is immensely powerful. So far, she's only used her power at the Immortal level and only utilizes her Dao Insights." He explained.

"All that power was still at the Immortal Realm?" Lin Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He had seen the Saintess used several skills and they all seemed to be extremely profound and didn't seem to be at the Immortal level at all. Perhaps even Transcendent Immortals might not be able to match something like that.

"When one reaches that level of comprehension, one doesn't even need Qi to control the elements or the Dao. They can simply will them and make them obey." Xukong explained. "Besides, if the Saintess were to use one of her Celestial level skills, she would be lacking in Celestial Qi." He added.

"Huh? But doesn't have her own Qi?" Lin Mu questioned.

"No, the restrictions force her to only utilize the Celestial Qi that she has obtained from this world. It might not be more than a few tens of wisps and those simply won't be enough for her to activate the Celestial skills." Xukong answered. "And even if she could, even a single skill would be enough to wipe out this world." He added.

"What!?" Lin Mu hadn't expected them to be this strong. "Can't she control it?" he had expected a celestial to that strong.

"She can of course. Which is why she only uses Immortal level skills." Xukong replied. "In her case though, her true celestial skills are extremely deadly. It comes to the point where even if she wishes to reduce its power, the people in this world wouldn't be able to take it." He added.

"Why's that?" Lin Mu was confused. "The Wind, Water, Cloud and Air Daos and their skills should have finer control, right?" he muttered to himself.

"Do you think those are her main elements?" Xukong asked, feeling amused.

"They're not?" Lin Mu had only seen her use those, thus he didn't know if she had more.

"No." Xukong replied. "Those are simply her supplementary elements she uses. Being the Saintess of the Serpent Moon Sect, her specialty is different… it is poison." He revealed.

"Poison…" Lin Mu repeated to himself and recalled other experts whom he had encountered in the past that used poison.

"Indeed. While the Serpent Moon Sect has many different specialties within them, Poisons are one of their major fields of expertise. And as a Saintess, there is no one more proficient in them than her." Xukong explained. "If she used a Celestial level poison skill, she would possibly wipe out all life on this world." He stated.

Hearing that, Lin Mu finally understood.

"The other elements… They're merely there to improve the power of her poison, isn't it?" he grasped. "Wind and Water to spread it, Air to contain it and Cloud to rain it down." It was simply the perfect compliment to the poison element.
