Chapter 676: Tim Grows Stronger, The Sealed Being Grows Weaker
Currently, there were just three beings at the center of the forest. These were none other than Lin Wu, Tim and the sealed being. All the others had either left or had been teleported away by the system.
But if they were here, they would be stunned to see the scene in the sky.
Above Tim, his Dao Shell’s illusory figure had finally appeared. The shocking thing was that it was not spherical in shape by default. No, instead of that, it directly appeared in a specific shape that was unlike any.
It wasn’t some simple shape either; it was a very detailed shape that seemed like it was made perfectly for some specific Dao Embryo.
Lin Wu who saw it, was shocked as well.
“Isn’t that… A claw?” Lin Wu identified the shape.
It looked like a large ‘V’ with five sections in it. If one looked at the other fine sides on it, they would realized that it was shaped in the form of a five fingered claw.
“How does he already have a Dao Shell with a premade shape? Is it related to his current state?” Lin Wu couldn’t help but wonder.
~SHUA~
But the situation didn’t end there at all. Tim continue to suck the energy that was coming from the Sealed being and started channeling it to the Dao Shell. The Dao Shell quickly started to absorb the energy and began to convert to a corporeal form.
“Dang! He reached the Shell Genesis stage of the Dao Shell realm as well. And I thought I would be the only one at that stage for a while.” Lin Wu said with astonishment.
It made him feel both a bit content as well as pressured. As long as he was the strongest being in the forest, he would feel comfortable. But once that was not true and there were others above him, he would not feel the same.
Lin Wu was still fine with the Twin Lights Liger King since he was under his control in the end. But Tim was not the same. Plus, the weasel was also a bit of a wild factor and could do anything out of expectations.
So far Lin Wu had been able to reel him in, but he didn’t know if the same would be possible if the beast was at the same cultivation base as him. While Lin Wu had fought Yun Bai, who was at the very peak of the Shell Expansion stage, and could battle other like him with confidence, it was evident that Tim was not like that.
He would be in the same league as Yun Bai, or perhaps even above him in the end.
All of this was a mystery to Lin Wu, and he didn’t know how things will go.
‘At least his Dao Shell isn’t that big.’ Lin Wu thought as he looked at the Dao Shell of Tim that was about a meter tall.
For most beasts that just made their Dao Shell, this would be considered large, but Lin Wu’s own was larger and even the Twin Lights Liger King’s Dao Shell was a bit larger too.
Nothing firm could be said though since there were far too many variables in all of this that Lin Wu and the system were yet to understand.
“STOP THIS!!!!” The sealed being yelled as its power kept on being drained.
It tried to use its tentacles to free itself, but failed at every step. Every new energy tentacle that it created was immediately pulled towards Tim, failing to do anything. Lin Wu reckoned that if the being was still not anchored to the formation array, it would have probably been sucked into Tim’s belly as well.
This was a horrifying though, as Lin Wu knew just how dangerous that might be. Tim might just explode from something like that.
“Or not… I can’t even tell what he is at this point. Though a power source of the Tomb that has lasted this long should have a terrifying amount of spirit Qi within it.” Lin Wu said and looked towards the sealed being.
He gave a few orders to the system, namely to scan and see if the system could find the flaws in the sealed being while it was weakened. The warnings and error messages popped up non-stop, but the system didn’t stop its work.
Lin Wu hoped to find some more information or a clue that would help him.
‘At the very least, I want something that will compensate for the losses we will suffer or have suffered now.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
~HONGLONG~
Tim increased the suction speed as he took an even deeper breath. The clouds were as if terrified and quickly ran away while the trees and ground continued to shake. Dust and debris flew everywhere as it got difficult for people to see things.
It wouldn’t be unusual for any normal beast or cultivator to go blind here from some stray object striking their eyes. For Lin Wu at least, that was no concern, and he continued to watch with rapt attention.
He didn’t want to miss even a second of this and was ready to act if his life was threatened.
‘The sealed being might be weakened, but sealing it again will take some effort. System, get on making a secondary seal.’ Lin Wu ordered, seeing that the scans were coming to no fruition.
They derived no information from the sealed being. It wasn’t even the encryption that seemed to be stopping, but rather the sealed being itself. The system couldn’t scan it and seemed to find it on a different level than anything it had come across till now.
Thus, Lin Wu could only wait and watch as Tim continue to drain the sealed being and progress through the Shell Genesis stage of the Dao Shell realm.
An entire hour passed by like this until finally it seemed like Tim could no longer do the same. His Dao Shell was 25% complete, and the Sealed Being was greatly weakened as well, its eyes turning more Grey than green.
