1862 Self Grounding

With the advent of the storm, the environment in the Spatial Plane changed greatly.

Not just Lin Mu and Feng Baxing, but the audience could see it too. Even if they could not truly feel it, just the visual impact they got from watching it was enough to push them to the edge of the seats.

"Whoa! Is that really the Sky Churning Tempest?"

"Isn't that the toughest out of the Six Winds to master?"

"Indeed… Seems like Third Prince Feng Baxing is still comparable to Crown Prince Feng Shun."

"Perhaps if he managed to progress his cultivation base enough, he might reach the same level as the Crown Prince. Alas, he is a hundred years late and also did not get the same opportunities that the Crown Prince and the Second Princess got to enjoy."

"Sigh! If it were not for the fact that he Third Prince was born later than the Second Princess, perhaps he might have reached the sixth or even the Seventh Tribulation stage of the Immortal realm too."

"Well, some do think it was a waste for the Second Princess to get those opportunities and resources back then. The Imperial Court was divided and had debated for a long time. Even if the Second Princess was decently talented she still ended up leaving the Imperial Family."

"Hey! Watch your words. Do you want to get your head chopped off?" 

"What? Its just the truth."

"You need to know how to say the truth. You can't just say that. If the others take offense to it, things won't end well for you. If you really wanna say it, say that she joined another family instead." 

The audience was really in an uproar on how to react to the situation. It was not something they were used to and hence there were a lot of discussions. It was lucky that none of the two contestants could hear it or they would be very distracted.

And while the audience watched it all, Feng Baxing finally made his next move.

"Haha! Things are just getting started!" Feng Baxing laughed, knowing that his skill was finally reaching its full potential.

The Tempest in the sky had reached a massive size and nearly half of the Spatial plane's area was now covered by it. And not just that, but if one was inside the Spatial Plane, they would be able to feel the abundant Dao Traces of Wind and Lightning element that were being spread everywhere.

If a spirit cultivator got a chance to experience this, they would have a decent chance of being able to get a minor grasp on the Wind and lightning element.

Of course, that was only if they could actually managed to survive in an environment like this. 

The area was no longer stable and sharp debris flew at a break neck speed. Anything that would be in path would be pierced and torn. 

But that wasn't all as Strong and sharp winds also blew that could rip and pull away things, along with earth shaking Lightning bolts that exploded all things that they hit.

All in all, the area had basically become something that was unfit for life, and yet Lin Mu and Feng Baxing could battle there. Such was the power of Immortals and allowed them to live in harsh conditions.

It may not be long, but it was long enough to survive it all.

~KABOOM~

With Feng Baxing's flick of a hand, a purple lightning bolt down from the sky, striking the exact position that Lin Mu was in.

~BZZT~

He tried to dodge it with all his might and was almost gone, when the lightning hit it a quarter of millimeters length.

"Ugh!" Lin Mu felt the lightning course through his body and restraining his muscles.

It was piercing through his body with ease and was almost on the level of Tian Ning's Lightning that had paralyzed him in place for a while.

Thankfully for Lin Mu, he had already experienced it one and knew how to react to it.

'True Earth Heart Dao Embryo! Earthen Armament Aspect: Ground Embracing Spines!' Lin Mu shouted in his heart as the sound of the heartbeats could be heard once more.

The Dao Embryo that was hidden within his Dantian activated once more, but did not leave it like before. Instead, it directly manifested its powers through his body and allowed the execution of the Dao Skill.

Lin Mu's legs gathered the rocks under them, while more rocks grew and surrounded them. These rocks actually grew more than one could see and were actually attached to Lin Mu's skin itself!

If one could look at it under a microscope they would see that these rocks had actually pierced into his skin, and attached to the flesh of his foot.

These spines then extended further into the ground, and anchored Lin Mu to it. While it may have turned him immobile, it also provided him something very important.

This effectively turned Lin Mu into a grounding rod!

~BOOM~

~BOOM~

~BOOM~

One after the other, Lightning bolts continued to strike Lin Mu, each stronger than before. It was clear that Feng Baxing had no thought of holding back at all.

Now that he had seen his enemy being cornered and restrained, he was going to put his 110% to directly eliminate him.

As such, he increased the attacks and caused more lightning bolts to strike Lin Mu.

The Man in question was in pain, and looked to be miserable, but the true reality of it was quite different.

'The Lightning elemental immortal Qi along with the Lightning Dao Traces can still be channeled through the earthen spines!' Lin Mu was exhilarated by his discovery.

As such, he hid a smile and let Feng Baxing have his few minutes of joy.

The Third Prince thought that he was torturing Lin Mu through the constant lightning attacks, having no idea, that they were basically an energy sink for him.

Lin Mu let it happen, and aimed to drain out Feng Baxing instead.
