171: Absorb the power of the origin

The moment the golden light entered Lin Mu's Divine Body,

Lin Mu keenly sensed that the essence of this golden light was surprisingly identical to Primal God Power.

He even had a misconception that this Origin Power was of a higher grade than Primal God Power.

This conjecture made Lin Mu feel a rare surge of secret joy.

Ever since Lin Mu arrived in this world, he had been constantly embroiled in schemes and counter-schemes.

It could be said that he was surrounded by enemies.

He would not miss any Opportunity to improve his strength.

Although he was confident that no one in the Divine Realm was currently his match,

he still needed to be prepared for future contingencies.

He still vividly remembered the words of the Primal God remnant on Divine Forbidden Mountain.

One day, the Primal God would send more people, and a great battle would be inevitable.

He still knew nothing about the Primal God's strength.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu no longer hesitated and began to refine the golden light.

As time passed, the golden light that had entered Lin Mu's body was completely refined by him.

However, this golden light did not enter Lin Mu's Sea of Consciousness to fuse with Primal God Power.

Instead, it circulated throughout Lin Mu's entire body.

Lin Mu's physical strength received an even greater boost.

He was confident that if he were to encounter the Primal God's true form now, a casual punch would be enough to smash him to pieces.

However, this was clearly not enough.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide and inhaled forcefully.

All the golden light distributed throughout the area was sucked into Lin Mu's mouth.

The crowd, who had been on the verge of collapsing, immediately felt a loosening in their bodies.

The Divine Power within their bodies also stopped flowing away.

Seeing Lin Mu frantically absorbing the golden light,

their eyes widened one by one, revealing expressions as if they had seen a ghost (though they weren't afraid of ghosts).

Even more incredible was the Western God Emperor.

He had originally thought that the hundreds of golden lights would be enough to kill Lin Mu.

But unexpectedly, Lin Mu not only didn't die but also actively absorbed the Origin Power.

Seeing that the golden light was about to be completely absorbed by Lin Mu,

the Western God Emperor knew that no matter what happened to Lin Mu, he could no longer remain there.

While everyone's attention was on Lin Mu,

he silently teleported away alone, not even taking his beloved Divine Lord Xie Yang (Setting Sun) with him.

Upon seeing that their God Emperor had fled, the people of the God Emperor Palace immediately scattered like birds and beasts.

Jun Wuyou glanced at Lin Mu, struggled for a moment in his heart, and then also chose to flee for his life.

Lin Mu 'saw' all these people escaping.

However, he was currently unable to pay them any mind.

The golden light was wildly raging through his limbs and bones.

Even with Lin Mu's physical strength, he was struggling to endure it.

Streaks of golden light actually broke through his body.

In an instant, golden blood seeped from all over Lin Mu's body, making him appear as if he were a man of blood.

Zhang Daoling, who was nearby, wanted to step forward to check, but he didn't know if he would make things worse.

For a moment, he could only anxiously call out Lin Mu's name repeatedly.

The other people, witnessing this horrifying scene, didn't know whether to help Lin Mu or seize the Opportunity to kill him.

Although Lin Mu had indirectly saved their lives, no one knew if he would become their enemy in the future.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "Young friend, if you are willing to join my Liu Yang Family, This Emperor can help you."

Liu Yang Gong's voice carried a hint of anticipation and a hint of threat.

If Lin Mu refused to join, he might very well take advantage of the situation to kill him.

After he finished speaking, a moment passed, and Lin Mu remained seated there, silent.

His body also stopped seeping blood.

Seeing this, Liu Yang Gong knew that this must be a critical moment for Lin Mu.

He spoke again: "Young friend, This Emperor will give you three breaths of time to make your choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief sword-wielder of the Liu Yang Family, who was nearby, began to count down.

"Three."

"Two."

When he counted to two, he suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that he didn't want to count, but at that moment, a golden light pierced through his throat, abruptly interrupting his words.

This was followed by Lin Mu's magnetic voice: "Noisy. Die!"

As the word 'die' left his lips, the chief sword-wielder instantly exploded, and even more terrifying, his Divine Soul failed to escape, exploding along with his body.

This scene terrified those who had originally been eager to make a move, causing them to tremble all over.

Those who were already grateful to Lin Mu bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for saving our lives. We will surely repay you in the future."

With that, without waiting for Lin Mu to speak, they flew away from the area.

Seeing that Lin Mu did not stop them from leaving, everyone followed suit, repeatedly expressing their thanks.

In a short while, the original hundred-plus people had dwindled to just a few.

Aside from Lin Mu and his group of four, the remaining few were all from the Liu Yang Family.

Because Lin Mu had killed a member of the Liu Yang Family, and Liu Yang Gong had not yet spoken, they were now caught in a dilemma: they couldn't leave, and they didn't dare to attack Lin Mu.

They could only stand nervously in place, waiting for their Old Ancestor to speak.

Liu Yang Gong was now filled with regret.

Had he known Lin Mu was so powerful, he should have either killed him immediately or not threatened him.

Now, he was in a difficult situation.

However, as a God Emperor, he could still handle this kind of situation.

He chuckled and said, "Young friend, you truly have surprised This Old Man once again."

Liu Yang Gong no longer referred to himself as This Emperor but as This Old Man, clearly intending to draw closer to Lin Mu.

Before he could continue speaking, Lin Mu suddenly interrupted him: "You may leave."

Liu Yang Gong, interrupted by Lin Mu, subconsciously wanted to get angry.

However, he immediately suppressed his anger.

Although this was only a wisp of his Divine Thought, it contained ten percent of his main body's cultivation.

Losing it here would be a net loss.

He did not linger, controlling his Flying Sword, and turned to leave.

Not long after Liu Yang Gong left, Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at their group, he curled his lips and said, "Liu Yang Gong, we will meet again very soon."

Of course, Lin Mu's voice was extremely soft, and Liu Yang Gong did not hear him.

Zhang Daoling, seeing Lin Mu open his eyes, rushed forward and said, "Young Master..."

Lin Mu waved his hand to interrupt his inquiry and said, "This Young Master is fine."

Lin Mu had not only absorbed all the golden light but also seized the Opportunity to decipher the secret of the green Jade Slip.

The contents recorded in the Jade Slip astonished even Lin Mu.

With this Jade Slip, he would fear no enemy, no matter what kind he faced.

Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Zhang Daoling, seeing Lin Mu laugh like this, knew that Lin Mu must have encountered a great Opportunity.

He quickly bowed and said, "Congratulations, Young Master, on your immense increase in strength. You will surely unify all regions of the Divine Realm in the future."

Hearing Zhang Daoling's flattery, Lin Mu couldn't help but find it amusing.

His goal was not just the Divine Realm.
