Chapter 1863 Facade And Trick
Lin Mu had long since learned that he could use the Earth Element to offset his vulnerability to the Lightning element. Of course, this wasn't directly possible and he needed for it to be connected to something much bigger than him.
In the current case it was none other than the entirety of the Spatial Plane's ground. As long as he feet touched it and he was directly connected to it, he could let his body channel the lightning into the ground.
Of course, this wasn't 100% effective, as the lightning elemental immortal Qi and Lighting Dao Traces still needed to travel through his body. When inside his body, they would affect his organs and meridians too, causing distress. Due to being grounded, the duration that Lin Mu was affected by this was minuscule.
But over time, the effects could acc.u.mulate. After all, Feng Baxing was not stopping and continued to blast Lin Mu to death with Lightning bolts.
'My internal temperature is also rising.' Lin Mu noticed another effect from the constant barrage of lightning.
This made him recall that when metal was electrocuted, its temperature would also rise. This was none other than the heat generated due to the natural resistance of various natural materials.
Even the human body had this and as such would resist the conduction of Electricity. A part of the energy in the electricity would be converted to heat and wasted.
Of course, for a normal human, surviving a single lightning bolt was already lucky. They would be burned from it and would probably sustain a lot of damage.
And what Lin Mu was resisting was no normal lightning at all. This was Lightning bolts made from an Immortal technique and amplified by the Lightning Dao Traces.
Any normal immortal would have long since been injured by this, having their internal organs singed greatly.
But Lin Mu could still hold on. He was not unfamiliar to internal heat and had consumed enough materials that would cause him to burn. Even when he had cultivate the Embrace of Honglin he had endured a great heat in his heart.
'I can take this!' Lin Mu bolstered his mind and continued to withstand it all.
~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~
Bolt after bolt struck Lin Mu, while Feng Baxing's Immortal Qi stores continued to fall. Lin Mu paid attention to it and had a painful expression on his face the entire time.
This was intentional on his part and made it seem like he was greatly suffering. At the same time, it allowed him to observe the Third Prince without giving away that he was mostly fine.
"Ahahha! Dogs like you deserve to be beaten!" Feng Baxing enjoyed his 'torture'.
Lightning was like the 'whip' that he was using it to hit the 'dog'.
Five minutes pa.s.sed, and Feng Baxing was still fine. He hadn't sensed much and continued his actions.
Ten minutes pa.s.sed, and Feng Baxing's face was a bit red, as if he had been running for too long.
Twenty minutes later, and Feng Baxing's face had turned darker, as if he had swallowed a bug.
'Why… is he… not dying?' Feng Baxing couldn't help but wonder.
There were black scorch marks all over Lin Mu's body now, and his hair was disheveled. Lin Mu's Qi seemed to be in a disarray as well and his vitality was wavering.
All signs pointed to the fact that Lin Mu was very close to death, and yet he was still standing.
And during this all, Lin Mu's expression was also that of utter pain as if he couldn't bear a minute longer.
But all that was a facade maintained to waste the Third Prince's immortal Qi.
'About 40% of his immortal Qi… Need to wait a bit more.' Lin Mu reckoned after sensing the prince's immortal Qi stores.
Lin Mu hoped to cause the prince to lose all his immortal Qi in this hopeless endeavor. But he didn't know that the prince was at the limit of his willpower.
Five more minutes later, the Third Prince couldn't take it anymore.
"AAAARGH! WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!?!!!" The Third Prince shouted like a madman.
~BOOM~
Another large Lightning Bolt fell and ended up cracking the ground under Lin Mu.
~SHATTER~
~CRUMBLE~
The ground suddenly collapsed and Lin Mu's contact with the ground broke.
's.h.i.+t!' Lin Mu internally cursed as he tried to move.
~SIZZLE~
It was now that the situation of the ground was revealed.
"What is that?"
"Why's there a pool of lava there?"
The audience was surprised by the red hot pool of lava that had been revealed underground.
Feng Baxing who saw it though quickly figured it out. After all, this was not his first time and he had seen many other lightning elemental cultivators before.
"YOU! YOU TRICKED ME?!" Feng Baxing understood that the lava pool underground was his own doing.
"Not tricked. I just said nothing." Lin Mu replied, realizing that the ruse was over. '35% of his Immortal Qi… Tch~ just a few more minutes and he'd be at his limit.' He thought with pity.
The lava pool had formed due to the lightning that had entered the ground all this time. Normally lightning would at most scorch the ground and heat it for a short time. But with the constant fall of lightning, it had caused a pocket of concentrated heat to be formed underground.
This molten earth weakened the stability of the ground above and finally caused it to collapse when the last Lightning bolt fell.
"Enough of this." Feng Baxing's expression turned sour.
It was hard to tell just how many emotions were mixed into it, but fury and humiliation were certainly present. Lin Mu saw the man raise the Shearing Hurricane Fan and mutter something.
~PIIIIIIII~
A second later, the Shearing Hurricane Fan flew out of the man's hand and grew before the illusory image of a giant falcon formed around it.
"The Great Hurricane Falcon appears again!" the audience shouted out.
"I'll end you, even if it is the last thing I do!" Feng Baxing said, pouring all of his immortal Qi into the fan.
