I'll block them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Daoist Chu nodded. He had his own task—namely, hijacking the teleportation gate's defensive arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be easy, especially with hostiles inbound, but he wasn't alone. Several other formation masters accompanied him, and together, they might just manage it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill them all!\" one of the enemy cultivators roared as they stormed the teleportation building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUA SHUA SHUA\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The defensive arrays activated, light weaving into barriers to block the intruders. But under the relentless pressure of hundreds of high-level cultivators, those arrays could only hold for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu was determined to make sure those two minutes counted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned toward the source of the surging aura and saw the man approaching through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bald-headed figure clad in white and gold, emanating divine pressure. At least fifth tribulation stage of the Immortal Realm—possibly more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YOU HERETIC!\" the man bellowed, his voice echoing across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inquisitor raised his sword—a gleaming weapon inscribed with radiant holy scripture, similar to the one Lin Mu had seen in Bernard's office. The runes glowed with concentrated faith energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess I'll get to experience their strength for real,\" Lin Mu muttered, shifting into a battle stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance closed rapidly as the Inquisitor slashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant golden sword slash tore through the air like a divine verdict, surging toward Lin Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't move—not yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed as he observed it, breaking it down in real time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There's Qi in it… but it's not alone. It's mixed with something else. Likely the power of faith,' Lin Mu thought, dissecting the attack's construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the sword slash was a meter away, Lin Mu acted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUA\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently raised his own sword and thrust forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HONG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly effortless thrust roared like a beast, smashing through the golden attack like a meteor through glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn't stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continued forward—unstoppable, aimed directly at the Inquisitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" the man's eyes widened. He barely raised his weapon to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shockwave forced him back hundreds of meters, his boots digging trenches in midair as he fought for balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu gave him no reprieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot forward, slashing three times in rapid succession—each strike from a different angle, fast and sharp enough to make the air itself scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" the Inquisitor cursed, overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man blocked all three, but his form faltered with each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lin Mu vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reappeared beside the man—too fast to track—with his left fist already swinging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You faith-users are interesting,\" Lin Mu said, voice calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SMACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His punch crashed into the side of the man's skull like a divine beast's charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Inquisitor's head snapped to the side. Blood spurted from his ears. His vision turned red as the impact rattled his brain like a gong struck at full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if this is all you've got… it's nothing,\" Lin Mu said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword followed through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's head fell before he finished the word. His body collapsed soon after, lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu looked down at the corpse, watching the man's aura rapidly dissipate. His Dao Embryo faded within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It disperses even faster than I expected,' Lin Mu thought, analyzing the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd also studied the power of faith during the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of raw strength, it was comparable to Qi. But in every other aspect—versatility, control, adaptability—it lagged behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There's no special trait that sets it apart. It just makes accessing power easier… but not more refined.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lin Mu's eyes, the Inquisitor's use of faith energy was no different from someone swinging an immortal tool without understanding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precise? Not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's more like the power of faith coerces Qi to obey. No harmony—just force.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could ponder more, a fresh wave of presences entered his divine sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head Inquisitor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He killed the Head Inquisitor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"KILL HIM! KILL THE HERETIC!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of Inquisitors charged in, fury overriding their common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So dumb,' Lin Mu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were cultivators, they'd at least assess the threat first. Maybe test the waters. Use tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these zealots charged like headless beasts—desperate to avenge, not survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn't matter,\" Lin Mu muttered, raising his sword. \"They'll meet the same end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afternoon Pine glowed golden-yellow as he slashed the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive metallic pine tree erupted from the earth, each branch covered in gleaming, blade-like needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pine tree launched a flurry of sword-lights in every direction, cutting through the Inquisitors like wheat before a divine scythe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"MY HANDS!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"MY BACK—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limbs flew. Heads rolled. Screams echoed and faded in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty Inquisitors came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None remained standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this is the level they're sending… this will be easier than I thought,\" Lin Mu muttered, eyes scanning the carnage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a formation disc and pressed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd better not let them regroup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of explosions echoed across the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Churches. Cathedrals. Defensive spires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All detonated in coordinated bursts of flame and rubble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from here, Lin Mu could see the Holy See as a distant silhouette—a white dot on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Still no response from them… good. That means they're busy with the other teams.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded and turned to his next task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dove underground like a fish into water, moving swiftly through rock and soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, he placed the remaining Demolishing Arrays in a wide perimeter around the teleportation gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighty-five in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to level a mountain—or anything foolish enough to follow him too closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If enemies came while he was queuing up for teleportation, they'd be greeted with fire and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Mu surfaced from the last placement, more presences surged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More zealots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mu exhaled slowly and raised his blade again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to keep clearing the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A lot more this time,\" Lin Mu muttered, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his elevated vantage point, he could see at least a hundred individuals—Inquisitors clad in divine armor, clergy robed in white and gold. But his senses told him the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Better to stop them before they become trouble,\" he said, summoning a second sword into his hand. \"Afternoon Pine. Ocean Raker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twin blades vibrated in response, humming with ancient power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, Lin Mu spun midair, slicing through space with both weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great Ocean Rake. Great Slaughter Pine!\" he intoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUA!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twin sword slashes—one golden yellow, the other ocean blue—shot downward like twin comets crashing from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they struck the ground, they bloomed into two massive constructs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first: a colossal golden-yellow pine tree, forged from what appeared to be pure, radiant metal. It rose five hundred meters into the sky, towering above the city like a divine monument of wrath. Its branches stretched wide, every needle glinting like a honed blade, threatening to tear the sky itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second: a massive pillar of swirling ocean-blue energy. It twisted violently like a living waterspout before splitting into five ethereal claws. With a deafening roar, the claws raked across the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KRRRAAAK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the ocean claws dug trenches in the city, demolishing structures and bodies alike. But the devastation didn't stop there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the claw marks surged waves—massive, roaring waves of blue Qi, each one hundreds of meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tidal surge rolled through the city like a living tsunami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buildings crumbled like sandcastles beneath its fury. Towers collapsed. Sanctuaries were reduced to rubble. Holy symbols were drowned in crushing waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly an entire kilometer of the city was wiped clean in a single moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not one enemy had managed to get within a thousand meters of Lin Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And still, the constructs remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden pine tree stood proud, its radiant slashes continuing to sweep the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ocean waves churned on, flowing with unnatural persistence, as though a divine sea had been summoned into the heart of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It should last a couple more minutes,' Lin Mu estimated, watching the energy persist longer than expected. 'It'll hold the line while I finish the rest.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot toward the teleportation tower like a bolt of Qi, landing in front of it moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick scan told him all he needed to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'All dead,' he confirmed, sensing no life within. 'Looks like they finished up nicely.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, his companions worked with utmost focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Mu,\" Daoist Chu greeted without looking up, still inscribing floating runes in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>",1458,"2026-05-29T03:26:27.095Z","2026-06-01T04:29:03.896Z",1,"novelbin.me","601ca598582e854765934f0c517869bec271b29f0744a884e70e3c9ad1b6ebcc","walker-of-the-worlds-chapter-2701","walker-of-the-worlds-chapter-2799",3686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwalker-of-the-worlds-cover.jpg"]
