Chapter 2254 A Brilliant Shield And A Dark Wave
The merging of two shields brought a transformative effect, as Lin Mu felt the power within it.
The Earthen Great Shield that was made from rocks and soil seemingly metamorphosed and turned into brilliant crystals that
shone like stars in the night sky. One could also see that the shape of the shield had become a lot more uniform and defined.
It had five sides while the pattern of the constellation, Scutum could be seen on its front too. Four bright spots glowed on it,
marking the four stars that composed the constellation.
From a mundane brown color, the shield had turned into an iridescent white color!
"This..." Lin Mu could barely estimate that the strength of the shield had improve by at least three times!
This was a major thing since the durability of the shield was already quite high due to it being a Dao Skill. 'A Qi skill that can
reinforce a Dao Skill?' Lin Mu hadn't expected there to be something like this in Lady Kang's arsenal.
While he knew there were some skills that could do this, they were quite rare. Not to mention, they wouldn't just work on all Dao
Skills, the limitations were quite drastic in many cases. "This will help a lot!" Lin Mu was now confident in dealing with the dark
energy wave.
The others still set up more defenses, trying to do their best. After all, there was no telling what could happen, since they didn't
even know what all this was.
All they knew was that the 'core' from the Null Iron was not something they should have opened.
'If we really did open it in the Spatial Terrarium, it would have certainly been destroyed in moments.' Crown Princess Shang
thought to herself.
Forgetting the damage to the Spatial Terrarium itself, there was a high chance they wouldn't have been able to defend
themselves properly either. After all, the entire space in the Terrarium would collapse, and they would be ejected out
haphazardly.
Depending on their luck, they'd be ejected into the Rust Sky world, but that would still leave them unable to react in time with the
Dark energy wave. And if they were unlucky, they could even be ejected out into the void directly.

That was something that would be hard for Lin Mu to deal with as well, since they wouldn't have the right positioning nor the solid
ground to defend against the income wave. They would simply be blown away far into the void, without being able to anchor to
something.
But as they all thought of this, the surge of dark energy only intensified.
~BOOM~
Another explosion could be heard, but nothing could be seen in the darkness. They did feel the shockwave from it though, as it
was quite powerful, making their bodies tremble.
~RUMBLE~
The shockwave was endured by their defenses, but soon the Dark Energy wave arrived.
It was like a Tsunami that could devastate an entire kingdom. ~CRASH~
Of course, the wave hit the Crystalline Great Shield at the front which Lin Mu was manning. Lin Mu felt the impact, but was
pleased that the shield did not budge even an inch.
'It's holding!' Lin Mu maintained his stance, keeping it in place.
The wave of dark energy was split due to the crystalline great shield and split into two parts, as if it were an unshakable
mountain in the face of a Tsunami. This reduced the impact on the others considerably, and only a few smaller currents of the
dark energy reached them.
These were easily endured by their own defenses and they didn't have to struggle for long.
~WOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~
The first wave ended after a minute, but another wave arrived just a few seconds after that.
~CRASH~
The impact of this wave was on the same level as the first, but it did not have a shockwave, showing that the phenomena was
changing.

The wave lasted a minute again, but the dark sky did not disappear. Instead it only kept on getting darker and darker, and soon it
was pitch black!
Nothing could be seen with naked eyes, and even Immortal senses were rendered useless.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Their attempts to create some light using some illumination skills was also not very effective, since the radius of light was very
limited. "I can't see much." Qiao De spoke.
"The darkness is very deep... its consuming the light too." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.
They could only see in their immediate vicinity and even then the scope of light seemed to be reducing every minute.
"Our illumination skills won't work here. It would need someone with the Light Elemental affinity to light up an area of such
darkness." Elder Hu informed them. "Whatever this energy is, it's not just a simple baleful energy... it's definitely a mix of
elements." His experience was speaking to him.
Lin Mu was the only one who could 'see' right now with his Spatial Perception, but it was not of much help since the density of
the dark energy was only increasing.
'What kind of energy is this?' Lin Mu was wondering.
Since the great shield was holding up well, it gave him some leeway to analyze the situation. He went over the possible culprits
and tried to figure out the possibilities.
'Since the twins did not like it, this energy definitely isn't just some Dark elemental Qi.' Lin Mu confirmed. 'If it was that, they
would have eaten it all up.' After all, it was exactly within their scope of 'diet'.
As such, Lin Mu knew it was an outlier... and energy he had never encountered before nor had read about it.
He observed it for longer and realized that there was slight change in it all.
Lin Mu soon saw some strange particles that seemed to be coming out of the 'core'.
'Is that... Dao Traces?!' his eyes went wide.

If it really were Dao Traces, then whatever was inside the 'core' was not just any 'material'.
