Chapter 1041: Great Pressure
The subordinates of Lin Wu had already experienced Tim’s breakthrough before and knew just what kind of a chaos he could cause.
Even if several beasts and humans had broken through to the Dao Treading realm in the forest by now, Tim was a wild card that could not be predicted. The system had considered all this and made a special protocol that was to be followed in case of another breakthrough.
But despite that, the breakthrough securing arrays were still broken due to the effect of his breakthrough. It was unexpected, but not overwhelming as the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape was ready to take the lead.
After sending the Twin Lights liger King and the Emeraldine High Wind Sparrow away, he got to reinforcing the arrays.
“Sky Light Pailing!” The ape beast made seals with his hands and threw out an orb of light.
The orb of light was condensed from Light Spirit Qi and was quite powerful. It was hard to tell just how condensed it was as looking it was the same as staring straight into a flashlight.
One might be able to look for a few seconds, but any longer and their eyes would start to hurt.
The orb of light was short above Tim and exploded into an intricate net. The net covered the entire area that was occupied by the array and started to merge into the remnants of it. The next turned rigid and took a dome shaped form.
But this was merely the start as the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape kept on pouring more and more energy into the light net. He needed to make sure that it wouldn’t break and made it as tough as it was possible at his level.
“Hopefully this will hold until Master is here…” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape didn’t know if this would work or not, but he needed to be ready.
~SHUA~
And while he was maintaining the net, Tim was absorbing massive amounts of spirit Qi. It formed a vortex around him while also drawing some invisible traces of Dao around him. His Dao shell also rose from his body and took its place above his head.
The Dao Shell spun non stop while invisible Dao Traces kept on gathering around him.
The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape who could barely sense them was stunned.
“This aura…” The ape beast felt like there was a great being in front of him.
But at the same time he knew it wasn’t fully true. It was hard to compare the aura of the being he was feeling and the form of Tim.
~HONG~
Though a point came where he had no choice but to believe it. It was as if the sound of war drums was heard and a small circle appeared in the Dao Shell. It was dark in color and it was hard to tell what it exactly was.
But the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape could feel like the small circle held the might to crush everything in the world and withstand all that it came across.
~KRIIIIIII~
Tim let out a proud growl as if he was standing up to the might of the world itself.
~CRACK~CRACK~
This resulted in the power of his breakthrough increasing once more and straining the dome shaped net that was formed by the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape.
“What’s happening?” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape was taken aback.
He didn’t know how the pressure had suddenly risen.
‘Even if it’s due to a Dao Embryo, this kind of an increase is unusual.’ The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape thought.
If there were experts with a lower cultivation base here, they would be inexplicably affected and might end up dying. The entire forest could feel the appearance of a new type of an aura, scaring those with weak hearts.
“What’s happening there?”
“Why did the beasts all gave orders to retreat?”
“Is there something bad happening?
The humans of the millennium forest weren’t sure about it all as they had never seen something like this before. Fof the past few years they had all been living peacefully with relative low conflict.
But now they could feel the oppressive aura in the area, making them think of the time when Lin Wu had demonstrated his might by defending against the Calamity Fiend.
Some people even had the misconception that Lin Wu was the one breaking through.
~SHUA~ SHUA~
Two teleportation circles appeared behind the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape, from which two people appeared.
The first was none other than Cang Ci who quickly threw out several formation flags and started making runes. The second person though was the patriarch of the Frost Foxes, Guardian Yun Bai!
“Entombing Glacier!” The old fox used his Qi skill, summoning endless frost that covered the cracking light dome.
It reinforced it and prevented it from breaking any more.
“Six Directions Confinement Seal!” Cang Ci had also finished setting up the barrier.
With the power of these three beings combined, the pressure of Tim was restrained by half.
“Where is master?” The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape asked nervously.
“He’s coming. He was occupied by something.” Cang Ci replied hurriedly while keeping her control on the seal. “He said he want’s us to hold Tim back while he returns.” She added.
Hearing that the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk ape shook his head. “If only it was that easy…” he muttered.
~RUMBLE~
It was at this point that a new transformation was seen. The thin circle within Tim’s Dao Shell suddenly enlarged and gained more features. The base ring first got thicker before several jagged spikes appeared on its top.
The spikes looked like they were made from dense tungsten that would not break.
And when it grew more, the aura coming from Tim intensified.
~HUALA~
Another teleportation circle opened up as the massive body of Lin Wu appeared. He gazed at Tim who was moving again.
“Unyielding! Will! Crown!” Tim seemingly spoke as his grasp of the Dao Treading realm rapidly increased.
