Walker Of The Worlds

2397  Swarmed

Lin Mu and the group had fought hundreds of Chimeric Beast Swarms in their time in the Spatial Plane, and yet the one that was coming towards them was something they had never seen before.

"Heavens! How means Chimeric beasts are those?!" Qiao De said as he arrived to take a look.

The others watched with stunned expressions as the swarm which covered the entire horizon approached.

"No… it's not just on this side." Ziran said as he flew up and glanced behind them. "They're surrounding us from all sides!" The entire Offering Hall was being surrounded by the great swarm of Chimeric Beasts, the numbers of which could barely be imagined.

"Cyclopean Chimeric Beasts!" Crown Princess Shang spotted. "At least four of them!" among the swarm, she could see the one eyed hulking monstrosities charging towards them.

"All four are at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm too!" Daoist Chu said seeing their heights.

But that wasn't all, as other Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beasts could also be seen among the swarm, though they were lagging behind and were a bit further.

There were the Four Headed Chimeric Beasts, the giant Mantis Chimeric Beasts and a couple of flying Chimeric Beasts that had the wings of a fly and the body of an antelope.

These were all Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm beasts that the group had fought and killed in the past, but they had a hard time finding them back then and had searched far and wide to encounter even one of them.

And yet, now all of them were coming towards them.

"How's this possible, they have never come near the offering hall before?" Daoist Chu asked in confusion.

"Yeah, don't the arrays or something prevent them from coming close?" Qiao De said in shock.

"The Cyclopean Chimeric Beast we encountered back then was staying next to the Offering Hall too." Crown Princess Shang replied. "Daoist Lin Mu was right… The arrays of the Bridge plane are likely in the control of Yao Changying now." She said with a deep frown.

~SHUA~

Two flowers grew on her wrists before they started to enlarge and take root into the ground.

~HUM~

Crown Prince Feng Shun also got ready for the battle, knowing that this was not something they would be able to avoid now. "Let Daoist Lin Mu rest, we'll fight until we can." Crown Prince Feng Shun said out loud as he threw out a lightning bolt into the sky.

~BOOM~

The lightning bolt rose to a height of three kilometer before suddenly exploding.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

Streaks of lightning rained down from the sky and fell upon the Swarm of Chimeric beasts. ~BZZT~BZZT~BZZT~

The lightning bolts jumped from one beast to another, as a chain reaction happened. The weaker Chimeric Beasts started to explode right away while the stronger ones were paralyzed.

"Caustic Drosera Descent!" Crown Princess Shang chanted as she flicked her wrists.

The two flowers on her wrists flew out into the sky as well and rapidly expanded. From their center, tens of sticky barbs rose that exuded an astringent odor.

After a few seconds, the two flowers fell upon the swarm of the Chimeric beasts, causing the barbs to stick to them and melt their flesh.

"Looks like we have to go all out now." Daoist Chu said as he took out eight tattered flags.

The flags exuded an aura of death and was very similar to the feeling that the Death Qi gave. Except in the case of the flags it was a lot more contained and didn't seem to spill everywhere.

"Deathly Confinement Eight Flags Killer Formation!" Daoist Chu chanted as he threw out the flags.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

The flags separated into groups of four and arranged themselves into two squares. The squares were self contained and formed a border around the offering hall.

Black runes rose out of the flags and connected with each other, forming a eight pointed star!

~Thud~Thud~THud~ As soon as the first wave of Chimeric beasts reached the border of the flags, they died away and a barrier of corpses started to pile up there.

"That should delay them for a while." Daoist Chu said out loud. "It's good that I choose to refine them last week." "How long will your flags last?" Crown Prince Feng Shun questioned as he condensed two halberds within his hands.

"I haven't tested them before, but they can passively run off the Death Qi they absorb." Daoist Chu answered. "Unless their durability is depleted, they'll continue to work. Though they might not work against stronger Chimeric Beasts." He warned.

"That's fine. We'll take out the strong ones before they get close." Crown Prince Feng Shun said as he raised azure and purple halberds to the sky. "This might be our final fight, so give it your all!" he said before jumping.

"Storm King Immortal Arts: Twin Halberds of Massacre!" The Crown Prince chanted before swinging them.

~WHOOSH~

~BOOM~

A massive wind blade was launched from the Azure Halberd while a whip of lightning was released from the purple halberd. The two attacks seemingly tore through the swarm of weaker Chimeric Beasts and was only stopped by the stronger ones

~GURAAAAAA~

One of the Cyclopean Chimeric Beasts seemingly took hold of the lightning whip and tried to pull Crown Prince towards him.

"I'll handle this one," the man said before pouncing on it.

"I'll handle one too!" Elder Hu rose to the sky, a swirling mass of ash surrounding him.

"Cinder Fall Five Fists: Third Fist- Desecrating Ashes!" Elder Hu sent out a fist imprint that pulled along the ash that was surrounding him.

The ash swirled in a vortex and charged straight into the swarm, drilling holes through them. It was as if every ash particle was a tiny bullet as it shredded through anything in its path.

While the three strong individuals went to fight the distant beasts, a flurry of ranged attacks came down from the sky!
