1634: Facing A Bull

Facing A Bull

Lin Mu gathered his will and guided his Immortal sense into the Dantian.1

There, Lin Mu's Immortal Sense showed a stunning phenomenon. It directly turned into thousands of threads, that were finer than hair. These threads spread all over in the Dantian and linked up with the vapor of the immortal Qi.

"GATHER!" Lin Mu commanded as a strained expression appeared on his face.

Each fine thread of his Immortal Sense grasped over the raging Immortal Qi and pulled it into its grasp. The immortal Qi wisps were quickly pulled into a central area, and it looked similar to an octopus grasping its prey with all its tentacles.

Once the immortal Qi wisps were brought together under the grasp of the Immortal sense, they quickly calmed down and condensed together to turn into liquid immortal Qi again.

~HUU~

Lin Mu let out a breath, as the relief washed over him.

The boiling of the Immortal Qi still continued from the raging essence, but the pressure was now gone. While more vapors of immortal Qi were rising, Lin Mu's speed of re-condensing was faster than it, thereby alleviating any pressure on his Dantian.

With the pain and pressure gone, Lin Mu could focus better and continued the process of re-condensing the Immortal Qi.

This was a step that needed endurance and strong will, as the raging essence wouldn't calm down any time soon. The agitating immortal Qi sent large waves across his sea of Qi but the other constituents of his Dantian were unshakable.

His Nascent soul that had a single brown halos surrounding it stayed stable as it sat over his Earth Dao Shell, that contained the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo. His formless Dao Embryo with the Four Faceted Nebula wasn't even present in the Dantian directly, thus couldn't be affected either.

Even the faint bracelet on the Nascent souls' hand was stable.

This was the same bracelet that had gotten Lin Mu out of great trouble, when he had encountered the indigo ball of light back in the asteroid that floated in the void. It had formed from the remnants of the broken statue, and Lin Mu now knew that it was none other than the leftover soul essence.

He had asked Xukong if it was fine for it to stay with him too.

Lin Mu was told that the soul essence had basically been stripped of its will, and just the fact that it could still maintain this form meant that it had a function that was imbued into it a long time ago. And considering that it had protected Lin Mu before, they decided that it was good to have it.

Though after that day, the bracelet had never reacted to anything and had stayed calmly on the wrist of his Nascent soul. Lin Mu had wondered what were the conditions to make it act up, but reckoned it was better if he never faced a situation like that.

Lin Mu ended up spending nearly two days in calming down the raging essence and containing the immortal Qi. It was certainly mentally tiring task, but Lin Mu was not averse to it and was still fine after it.

"There we go…" Lin Mu muttered as he saw the essence which had calmed down.

The essence had coalesced into a small red blob that floated on top of the Immortal Qi sea. 

It was like oil floating on top of water, unable to be mixed. 

~HUU~

Lin Mu took a deep breath and watched the red blob of essence carefully as it was now time for the final step!

This step was to raise the spirit of the essence. 

And doing this would be the same as invoking the bloodline figure of the Tyrant Bull!

"Time for a battle…" Lin Mu whispered and took control of his Nascent soul, relinquishing his control over his body.

~HUMM~

His Nascent soul that was calmly meditating on top of the Dao shell opened its eyes and stood up. It then flew over to the coalesced red blob and touched it.

~SIZZLE~

As soon as it did that, the red blob started to sizzle!

The Nascent soul retreated and watched as the sizzling red blob turned into a red mist.

~HISS~

The red mist seethed once more but didn't spread in the Dantian. Instead, it started to take a certain form. First it looked like an irregularly shaped cloud. But then it bulked up and six legs appeared from its bottom.

Next a tail sprouted from its behind and a pair of horns appeared on the front.

The figure started to become more defined as it took the proper shape of a beast. The beast being none other than the Tyrant Bull!

Lin Mu watched through the eyes of his Nascent soul as the overbearing beast's bloodline figure appeared.

It had six muscular legs that held up its bulky body that looked like a moving mountain. Its tail flailed around like a whip, tearing the air apart while its fear inducing head rose upwards with pride.

Its eyes glared at Lin Mu with fury as steam escaped its nostrils. Its two horns were like great hooks that could prop up elephants from them!

The hulking beast emanated a tyrannical aura as it established its presence.

~MOOOOOOOOOOO!~

A rumbling cry was let out by the beast as waves spread across the entire Dantian. Even Lin Mu's Nascent Soul was pushed back a few meters, but then stabilized with the Dao Shell coming to its support.

"This'll be a new experience…" The Nascent soul spoke as a smile appeared on its face.

It extended its left leg forward while entering a battle stance.

"Come!" Lin Mu taunted as the figure of the Tyrant Bull charged at him.

~MOOOOOOOOOOO!~

~RUMBLE~

Every step of the beast sent waves across the ocean of Qi, as the muscular legs of the beast stomped across the Dantian. 

Lin Mu's Nascent soul wasn't unprepared either and the surrounding Immortal Qi turned into a sword in his hand.

And just as it was formed, the two forces collided!
