Chapter 1742 Blocking A Great Attack

'Is… Brother Mu Lin intending to block the attack on his own?' Ming Dandan wondered in shock.

She had confidence that Lin Mu himself would be able to bear it, but she didn't know if her and her sister would survive this attack.

'What is he…' Ming Aolian though noticed different energy fluctuations from Lin Mu.

They came out swiftly from his body, and took the shape of an object in front of him.

'Huh… is that…' Before Ming Aolian could think much though, she heard a few words.

"Earthen Armament Aspect: Great Shield Form!" Lin Mu directly used his Dao Skill with the highest defense.

His Earth Dao shell quickly expanded, as the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo throbbed and covered it with rocks. The rocks rapidly appeared and condensed around the Dao Shell, turning into a dense layer of armor that could not be broken.

The shield expanded to become nearly six meters wide, and tall, allowing everyone to hide behind it comfortably. The Dao Traces that could be felt from the shield were also rather intense, especially with Lin Mu pouring a lot of immortal Qi into it.

But that wasn't all, as Lin Mu knew it wouldn't be enough. While the shield could indeed block an attack on the level that was coming, it didn't mean that it would stay fixed. It could still be pushed back if it was not anchored.

"Aspect of Heaviness!" And to anchor it, Lin Mu sued the Aspect of Heaviness on it, turning the intensity up to the maximum.

~THUD~

The Great Shield made out of earth directly slammed into the ground, creating cracks around it. Lin Mu supported it with both his hands crossed against the shield.

"Great ready!" Lin Mu gave the Ming sisters one last warning before the attack finally arrived.

~DENG~

Instead of exploding right away, a different sound was heard as the cannonball made out of runes collided with the shield along with the sword light. The two intertwining attacks were relentless and did not stop after the collision.

"HAAAH!" Lin Mu used all of his strength to hold back the shield.

His feet dug into the ground, and that combined with the weight of the shield made him into an immovable anchor.

~WOONG~

But the attack that the Third Tribulation Stage Immortal woman and the Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal man had used wasn't one to be blocked this easily. It kept on assaulting the shield, acting like a drill and wanting to bore a hole through it.

The multicolored sword energy was like sharp carving knives, that scratched away at the Great Shield's rocky surface, while the Cannonball made out of runes was like a hammer that keep on rocking the shield. The effect of the combination attack could actually be seen too as the upper surface of the Great Shield started to whether away.

"Not so easily." Lin Mu gritted his teeth and poured more Immortal Qi into Dao Embryo.

~THUD~THUD~THUD~THUD~

The True Earth Heart Dao Embryo's beats were like thunder as it throbbed nonstop. The rocky surface of the Great Shield that was being worn away was quickly replaced as more and more rocks started to grow. Earth also filled in the gaps, preventing any more damage.

Ming Dandan and Ming Aolian that were watching it were stunned.

They could feel the sheer power of the attack that was targeting them and knew that if it hit them they would be wiped out in an instant. While they might not die due to the formation arrays that would teleprompter them out in an instant, they would still be injured gravely.

And yet an attack like that was being held back by Lin Mu.

'Is this… A Dao Skill?' Ming Aolian wondered.

She could feel the Dao Traces from the shield, and could easily figure out to be a Dao Skill. She hadn't realized it right away, as the shape of Lin Mu's Dao Shell was different than the usual spherical shape.

'Brother Mu Lin made his own unique Dao shell… And his Dao Embryo also seems to be rather different.' Ming Aolian couldn't recognize much about the Dao Embryo other than the fact that it belonged to the Earth Element.

Ming Dandan was also having a lot of thoughts as she watched Lin Mu defend them.

'Brother Mu Lin had said that his affinity was with the Earth Element and Metal element, but I didn't think he would have formed a Dao Embryo and Dao Shell for the Earth Element.' Ming Dandan thought.

She had mostly seen Lin Mu use his swords, and the skills associated with it. This had made her think that Lin Mu might have made a Metal elemental Dao Shell and Dao Embryo instead. But the reality seemed to be different.

'If Brother Mu Lin made a Dao Embryo for the Earth Element, and not the Metal Element, doesn't this mean that he isn't even using his strongest element while battling?' Ming Dandan reckoned.

To her, it made sense that the element that one had the most proficiency whit would be picked for a Dao Embryo. But what she didn't know that while Lin Mu did have the most experience with the Earth Element, he had taken it in a different path.

He had used Earth to increased his defense and while it could also be turned offensive using the other forms of Earthen Armament Aspect, she didn't know that yet. Lin Mu also didn't use that, since it consumed a lot of energy.

Even with his high immortal Qi stores right now, he wouldn't needlessly spend his energy stores on it.

After all, Dao Skills were stronger than normal Qi skills and their consumption of energy also matched that.

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

While the Ming Sisters were marveling at Lin Mu's abilities, their foes were doings something similar. To them, their attack was something that would easily harm an immortal at the Fifth Tribulation stage.

And yet, it had been held back somehow.
