The Other Half of Walk-in Heart Genesis’
The tunnel turned out to be a straight one unlike the previous seventeen. The gravity water did not slow down Wood Spirit, either.
“I think I’ve gone down ten kilometres in roughly fifteen minutes. The path tunnel is widening…” At the end of the tunnel, Mu Yu arrived at what would be best illustrated as a sky of twinkling stars – except there were strange rocks floating around, occasionally silently crashing together and drifting apart. “This is the world’s rift!”
“This is the place,” Ju Mang voiced.
Simply put, Mu Yu was inside a bubble of gravity water that had a radius of dozens of metres. A black chain stretched out from the bubble and linked to the other side of an altar, absorbing spiritual qi along the path.
The altar the chain linked to was identical to the one Mu Yu encountered in the cavern – minus the fact that it had a thick, red pillar around two metres tall stuck on it. All the bloodlust energy reeking from the pillar made from tree could be smelt from a distance, showing that it was more than thousands of folds more potent than Mu Yu’s.
“Walk-in Heart Genesis!”
Mu Yu propelled himself off a formation to hop from rock to rock. There was no mistaking the red pillar was Walk-in Heart Genesis given the hostility oozing from it. The altar absorbed the ghost qi shrouding it, but more ghost qi would shroud it correspondingly.
That aura of text the top of the Walk-in Heart Genesis beams into and the formation casting method… Shifu! That’s Contiguous Horizon Formation covering the formation; it’s stronger than even Reverend Xuan Jizi’s. The heck is that silhouette Shifu locked in there?
Walk-in Heart Genesis shone a red beam onto the Contiguous Horizon Formation in hopes of releasing the monstrosity sealed within, though it was not working. Mu Yu saw the monster inside mouthing something, but…
“Sorry, bud, but I can’t hear you. Raise your voice,” Mu Yu said.
Oh, Ghost Ancestor must’ve borrowed the energy of Walk-in Heart Genesis to manipulate the souls’ cries to manifest his own voice.
Mu Yu closed up on the formation. “Wait… Did Chi Yue rely on just the corpse qi in No-Man’s Valley to escape its seal? Hey, what do you think?”
“The name isn’t ‘Hey’.”
“Okay, Ju Mang, what do you think?”
Ju Mang analysed the information available, then answered, “He and Chi Yue aren’t ordinary lunar race members. They’re one of the leaders of the lunar race.”
“Chi Yue was only a Spirit Severing Realm monster, however.”
“Chi Yue exhausted itself just to break free; in reality, it’s an Apotheosis Realm monster. The one in there is even stronger. Fortunately for you, you were in luck.”
“Luck is a skill. Anyway, how did Chi Yue break out?” Mu Yu noticed the Walk-In Heart Genesis’ energy had corroded the majority of Feng Haochen’s formation already. At most, the formation would contain the monster for two more months. “You’re not getting a chance to come out, sucker.”
As the formations Feng Haochen cast utilised natural energy, Mu Yu needed to cut off Walk-in Heart Genesis’ energy supply before mending the formations.
“Walk-in Heart Genesis must be impacting the ghost qi surrounding the altar. Ironically, the ghost qi resembles something with vitality. Ju Mang, any advice?”
“None. I’m not erudite on the thing.”
“That’s a letdown. Guess I’m going with the tested method, then.”
Mu Yu drew out green spiritual energy and split them off. The energies absorbed the red beam without a hitch, provoking Walk-in Heart Genesis into shuddering. The red beam receded from the Contiguous Horizon Formation.
“You reckon I could absorb Walk-in Heart Genesis? I know it’s a crazy idea.”
“I thought you wanted to save your dad with it.”
“I planned to destroy it after I was done with it.”
“To keep it brief, it’s impossible to absorb it because it’s the same as Wood Spirit, in that ancient things, such as Wood Spirit, Revealing Cauldron and Formation Palace, can’t be destroyed.”
“I guess my only choice is to find a way to make off with it and seal it aft-”
“Stop!” A red streak followed the inflamed voice.
