Waves of energy were rolling off the Great shield, as the bined attack continued its assault. And yet, Lin Mu didn't look to be moving at all.
His foes in the distance were also watching it all, shock evident in their eyes.
The Fourth Tribulation stage Immortal man's hands were trembling as he held the glass sword weakly.
"It can't be... How can it be halted?" the man was dumbstruck.
The Third Tribulation stage Immortal woman wasn't that much different either, her lips turning into a thin line while strain was visible on her forehead. Her fingers were also trembling, as she tried to maintain control over her Talisman Formation.
"We might have been mistaken..." She said after a minute had passed and Lin Mu hadn't moved at all.
Their attacks were still trying to push back, but the Great Shield was still holding on.
"Senior Brother... if this doesn't work, it seems like we'll have to forfeit." The woman spoke as she thought about the potential outes.
"Don't say that. The result is still not decided!" the Fourth Tribulation stage Immortal man was not ready to give up yet.
"I can feel my control weakening. The attack might not last much longer." The woman replied.
The Fourth Tribulation stage Immortal man could only grit his teeth upon hearing that, and gripped the glass sword tightly. As much as he wanted to continue lightning, deep down he also knew that he might not be able to last that long.
'My immortal Qi is already low, and junior sister is also running out of her talismans. The current attack also consumed most of her immortal Qi in one go.' The man thought to himself.
~RUMBLE~
But he was quickly brought out of his thoughts by a change in the situation.
"What in the..." The Fourth Tribulation stage Immortal man gazed at their bined attack that was now shifting.
"Its... Splitting..." The woman muttered in shock.
~RUMBLE~
The man and woman watched with trembling eyes as the bined attack split into three!
One segment went to the left of the great shield, one went to the right of the shield, while one was deflected to the top of the great shield.
~WOOOO~
The sound of a strong gust was heard, as the attack tore the very air apart. And yet despite all this, the Great Shield was still standing strong.
~TREMBLE~
~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~
The effect of the attack was now being exerted on its surroundings though. The ground was unearthed, as two large gullies formed around the shield. The gullies formed a large 'V' shape and extended for nearly five hundred meters before they narrowed until turning into mere cracked lines.
As for the segment of the attack that was deflected off the top, it simply went into the sky for about a kilometer before fading away.
Still, the segment that went into the sky acted like a beacon. It could be seen from very far, and all those that saw it knew that a large conflict was happening there. The energy fluctuations ing from it might alarm a few, but they might still e to check it out eventually.
It wasn't a matter of if, but a matter of when. At the very least for now, they'll wait and watch, until the energy waves fade away and they can take a proper look at the entire situation.
Being wary at this point in the tournament was necessary after all. Or they might not be able to survive this. The ones that were left now were all strong contenders, and the conflict that seemed to be going on was between some of the top ones; or so they thought.
They didn't know that the one's that were fighting were a pair of Third Tribulation Stage Immortal woman and a Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal man against Lin Mu who was at the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm.
Normally it was not a match up that should have happened, or even lasted for this long. But now it was happening and was creating such a massive phenomena.
~Shua~
A few seconds later, the bined attack finally faded away.
The cannonball made out of runes turned into mere wisps of Qi that couldn't sustain themselves while the sword light faded away into nothingness.
~RUMBLE~
The Great Shield shifted due to its weight, after the force acting on it was removed.
~CRACK~
It sank further into the ground, and made the gullies on its sides collapsed further. The integrity of the ground and been weakened from the attack and it could actually not bear the weight of the shield any longer.
"Huu..." Thankfully, Lin Mu acted quickly and stopped the Aspect of Heaviness.
~shua~
The great shield returned to its normal weight, which was still pretty great. But now, Lin Mu could control it as he wanted and made it float above him.
"Are you two okay?" Lin Mu asked his panions.
"I'm... I'm fine..." Ming Aolian responded, still a bit shaken.
"Me too." Ming Dandan replied, feeling awestruck by it all.
"Good." Lin Mu said letting out a breath.
~WHOOSH~
He quickly flew over to the pair, finding them to be unmoving. Lin His immortal sense scanned over the area again, quickly spotting their opponents.
"Let me get rid of the foes before we do anything." Lin Mu said before flying up. "Be careful there might be others ing.
~WHOOSH~
He quickly flew over to the pair, finding them to be unmoving. Lin Mu was expecting them to attack him again, but surprisingly they didn't. Instead they just looked at him a mix of fear and awe in their eyes.
"May we know your name." The man asked.
"Daoist Mu Lin." Lin Mu replied.
"So it is Daoist Mu Lin... Seems like we've faced the end of our journey here." The man said with a self depreciating chuckle.
"If anything, you two fought well. You two are certainly strong." Lin Mu replied calmly seeing that the two had admitted defeat. "Though it makes me feel amazed about the strength of the Serene Glass Valley."
