CHAPTER 2391 BLOODLINE EATER
Lin Mu glanced at the Sky Swallowing Wolf Bloodline Essence Crystal for a moment before picking it up.
His actions were puzzling to others, as they couldn't understand what he was doing. It didn't seem like the most idea situation to take it out after all. But what Lin Mu did after that left them shocked.
~CRUNCH~
Lin Mu put it in his mouth and bit onto it, shattering it entirely.
~GULP~
He then swallowed it without a care, much to the shock of everyone.
"Daoist Lin Mu, what—" before they could even ask though, a powerful aura appeared.
~HOWL~
The howl of a beast could be heard coming from Lin Mu's body, as an aura seemingly overflowed out of his body.
~HUALA~
A few seconds later, the aura turned visibly thick before manifesting above Lin Mu and transforming into the Sky Swallowing Wolf!
"Is he assimilating it?" Qiao De couldn't help but ask. "No… That's not how you assimilate a bloodline." Ziran said a few ideas appearing in his mind.
Lin Mu looked up at the bloodline figure of the Sky Swallowing Wolf Bloodline above him and scowled.
"Consume!" he said out loud.
~HUALA~
~ROAR~
In the next second, the bloodline figure of the Great Slumber Bear appeared above him.
The Great Slumber Bear easily towered over the Sky Swallowing Wolf and directly swiped its long claws at it before biting onto its neck.
"GWOOOOOO!" The Sky Swallowing Wolf Bloodline let off a cry of pain and tried to escape, but the Great Slumber Bear gave it no chance. It directly stabbed its claws into the wolf's wings and tore them out!
~RIP~
But that was merely the start, as the Great Slumber Bear then bit down hard before pulling the entire wolf's head apart!
~POOF~
The Sky Swallowing Wolf's Bloodline figure was forcefully dispersed and turned back into a stream of aura that returned to Lin Mu's body.
"He… Destroyed the bloodline!?" Qiao De was stunned. "Why'd he do that?" to him it just looked like Lin Mu had wasted a perfectly good Bloodline Essence Crystal.
~HONGLONG~
But the answer for that was presented in the form of a pressure. Lin Mu's vitality rose once more, as it started to exude from his pores. It appeared in the form of a red aura and seemingly filled the air around Lin Mu. It looked like a faint red mist, but everyone could tell it was pure vitality.
And inside Lin Mu's body, the real process was happening. The Bloodline Essence Crystal that Lin Mu had shattered and consumed was actually being processed by his stomach. Several obscure runes appeared all over it, as the Nameless Technique of the Lost Immortal activated to digest it all.
Lin Mu was utilizing the Bloodline Essence Crystal in a very, very crude way.
All Bloodline Essence Crystals were essentially highly condensed clusters of vitality along with the bloodline of the creature it belonged too. But this vitality was intended to keep the Bloodline intact as well as allow it to be assimilated into an individual.
Normally speaking, this vitality couldn't actually be used by individuals.
Even when someone was assimilating a bloodline, the vitality within the crystal wouldn't be given to them, but would rather be used by the bloodline for its sustenance. The control over all the vitality was held by the 'spirit' of the bloodline.
Lin Mu had essentially 'killed' this spirit to take over the vitality it owned. This wasn't something any normal cultivator would even think of doing, as it was simply a waste of the Bloodline Essence Crystal. If someone simply wanted vitality, they could very well obtain a similar or even higher amount of vitality by simply selling the crystal.
They would even have a lot of money leftover after they did that. But in the current case, Lin Mu didn't care about that at all. He only cared about the end result.
'It worked… The vitality contained in the Bloodline Essence Crystal was richer than consuming several Beast corpses.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
While the Vitality from the crystal hadn't replenished his stomach to the previous level, it was still up by about ten percent.
At the same time, Lin Mu checked his progress with the curse and saw that about twenty percent of Lady Kang's left leg had now been cleared out.
"I'll just have to keep this up…" Lin Mu said to himself as he took out another box.
~CLACK~
This time though, there wasn't just one crystal in the box but rather tens of them!
"So many Bloodline Essence Crystals!" Daoist Chu saw them and could even recognize a few.
~CRUNCH~
But before they could look at them for much longer, Lin Mu started eating them one by one.
The shattering of each Bloodline Essence Crystal was like a stack of money being burned to Qiao De. ~HONGLONG~
~HONGLONG~
But at the same time, Lin Mu's vitality also started to rise like crazy. By the time Lin Mu was finished with the box, his vitality had risen to the thirty percent mark!
~ROAR~
The Great Slumber Bear's bloodline figure was also busy killing all the other bloodline figures that would appear upon the breaking of the crystals. But unlike the Sky Swallowing Wolf, they were killed before they could even manifest fully. owns this.
The previous 'fight' only happened because the Sky Swallowing Wolf Bloodline was stronger than one's Lin Mu was consuming now. These were in fact, the bloodline crystals Lin Mu had gathered 'passively' from the spatial storage treasure of others as well as a few places he had raided.
They were basically useless to Lin Mu and had been lying in his ring for a long time. He had sorted them into one section when he organized his storage and now they were finally coming into use.
Even the Spirit Realm beast bloodlines were being used, as Lin Mu made use of every single drop of vitality.
The others could only watch with incredulous expressions as Lin Mu 'burned money' to fill his stomach.
