Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu watched as the four lights transformed into the guardian beasts.

The Red Light Transformed into the Vermilion Bird, the Blue Light transformed into the Black Tortoise, the Green Light transformed into the Azure Dragon and the Yellow light transformed into the White Tiger.

'The colors merely represent the element they belong to rather than themselves.' Lin Mu understood seeing it.

The Vermilion Bird was massive and had two vibrant wings with a long and sharp beak. Looking into its eyes would make one shudder and feel the heat of a thousand furnaces within them.

The Black Tortoise was like a mountain and had a snake's body growing from its body as its tail. It had thick legs that were more like the heavenly pillars that held up the sky while its shell was like the crust of the earth.

The Azure Dragon had a mix of azure, blue, and green scales that shone in different lights when it reflected off it. It had a bushy beard along with two long white whiskers that swayed in the air. It also had two dark brown horns that had three branches on them.

Then there was the White Tiger which had claws that looked like they could rip apart the land, the seas and the skies. Its muscular body felt like it could leap into the heavens with one kick while its sharp fangs could crush the life of all foes. Its eyes also made one feel like they were being stabbed by hundreds of blades.

Such were the Four Guardian Beasts that had reigned as deities from times immemorial. They had provided protection to many races and also taught them in exchange for their devotion and faith.

Looking at them, Lin Mu too felt awe and the power that exuded from them was also empowering. This was surprising since most strong beings would actually feel oppressive and overwhelming unlike this.

"Wait… the words earlier meant this?" It finally clicked to Lin Mu.

"You understood quickly. That ward is indeed to protect the immortals that come here. Even for Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortals, our presence can be overwhelming and they can get Qi deviation simply by being in front of us." The Vermilion bird spoke.

"I understand, senior." Lin Mu cupped his hands.

"Tell us your name, winner." The White Tiger asked.

"I am Mu Lin." Lin Mu answered.

"So Mu Lin it is." The Vermilion Bird said before looking at the Azure Dragon.
