Walker Of The Worlds

The energy that was currently emanating could not be identified and was different from spirit qi and vital energy. Its source seemed to be the numerous characters that made up the net that was covering the stomach. With each passing second, the energy seemed to be increasing and with it, the net was slowly fading away.

As the energy spread around in Lin Mu's body, it healed every injury that was within it. The injuries that were caused by the raging vital energy were repaired and the hidden sequelae were also being healed. The bleeding apertures of Lin Mu stopped, and the blood that was staining his face also seemingly dried up.

The blood dried and flaked away before turning to a fine powder in the air. Lin Mu's expression eased up, and the pain dispersed.

Inside his bones, the vital energy that was pouring in like a raging river smoothed up and the barrier had completely disappeared. Now it was as if the bones and marrows were linked through the reservoir of vital energy.

All the layers of Lin Mu's body that contained the vital energy were merging. The vital energy within his skin, muscles, blood, bones and finally the marrows joined and became a single complete entity. Also due to the massive amount of vital energy that had appeared, Lin Mu had directly shot to the peak of the thirteenth stage of the body tempering realm.

Normally the vital energy should have only been enough to break the barrier to the thirteenth stage and would have started tempering his marrows. But now the vital energy had completely soaked his marrows in it and was fully saturated. Lin Mu had gained an entire stage's worth of vital energy in one go.

"This… energy… what is it?" Xukong questioned, feeling confused.

He looked back at the ethereal altar, having calmed down with no qi fluctuations around him.

"Did you already know this was going to happen? Or perhaps… you planned this from the very start?" Xukong questioned the nearly nonexistent altar.
