Shirong moved like a bullet as he tore through the troves of followers of the skull god that were heading towards him. Shirong clearing out the surrounding area had given Lin Wu enough time to set this all up and now… they could take full advantage of it.

The child with the seven fingers who was standing at the back widened his eyes upon seeing this.

"Jumping from Infant Soul stage to the Adolescent Soul stage in less than a minute… now this is interstice." The child muttered to himself.

He then looked at his subordinate Nascent Soul realm cultivators, who were all staring in surprise and frowned.

"GO!" He ordered simply.

The Nascent Soul realm cultivators heeded the orders and attacked Shirong together. There were now over twenty Nascent Soul realm cultivators attacking Shirong at the same time.

The only reason why the remaining Nascent Soul realm cultivators did not attack him was because they were busy with something else. There were still streams of smoke attacking the barriers and breaking them.

The followers of the Skull god had progressed another step further and had broken through the seventh barrier now.

Seeing this, even Lin Wu was stunned.

"How the hell are they doing this? Even with the Undaunted Sapphire Body art, it took me ten times as long." Lin Wu couldn't help but question.

His eyes locked on the incense burners that were in the hands of the nascent Soul Realm cultivators. The burners looked rather simple and were fully covered with holes for the smoke to come out.

Lin Wu narrowed his eyes and used his radiation perception to its full potential. The color scale suddenly changed for him and he could see a vast difference now.

The incense burners had a strange flow of spirit Qi around them, which caused the radiation around them to act differently too.

"Those are all spirit tools, that's for sure. But what's inside it… that is definitely not any normal incense as I can't see any heat from it." Lin Wu analyzed.

He then looked at the bodies of the Nascent Soul realm cultivators and saw that their spirit Qi was pouring into the incense burners silently.

"It's a bit different. Using spirit Qi as the fuel makes sense, but what is the actual substance being burned?" Lin Wu wondered, but no matter how much he looked, he could not decipher that.

As for the smoke that came out of it, it looked like a blurry area in his vision. It was obvious that the radiation perception couldn't really work as well on it.

"That smoke had different properties as well." Lin Wu realized.

~Swoosh~

Lin Wu focused back on the attack at hand as he was awakened by the sound of the twenty Nascent Soul realm cultivators coming towards them.

"Well then… time to rumble!" Lin Wu said as Shirong sped forward at the Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

Their small army had various weapons that they were using and all of them were similar to the smoky sword that the first follower of the skull god had used back when Lin Wu met the Silver Beak Sky Soar eagle.

It was evident that each of these weapons had been specially made and had qualities that could even injure Lin Wu's body.

~DENG~

Tens of Weapons hit Shirong at the same time, but were blocked by the armor. But this was intentionally done by Shirong and Lin Wu had a surprise prepared for the others.

~Weeng~

~zap~

The weapons that had attacked them and were in contract with the crystal armor got stuck in them as the armor suddenly morphed in a way that latched onto the weapons.

"Huh? How?"

"What the hell! Let go!"

Voices of protest could be heard as the followers of the skull god tried to pry their weapons free, but failed.

~Crackle~

~zing~

In the next instant, lightning was sent out from the armor and it traveled through the stuck weapons before finally reaching the bodies of the Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

"ARGH!!!"

"NOO! STOP!"

~Sizzle~

The smell of burning flesh could be sensed as the lightning charred the skins of the attackers. The attack was full of lightning attribute spirit Qi, which seemed to be far more effective against the strange murky smoke attacks of the Followers of the skull god.

"That must be the common cultivation technique and skill they use. Since they can also command specter skull hounds and they are of the yin attribute, the extreme yang of the lightning element is the best to deal with it." Lin Wu said.

While this attack had not killed the attackers, it had still managed to stun and paralyze them for a bit. But this was all that was needed for Shirong and Lin Wu to take advantage of.

The armor started to change once again and became a bit more bulky and broad. The process continued at a rapid pace as multiple protrusions rose up from the surface before finally turning into spikes. The spikes were over a meter long each and spaced in an irregular space.

Still, the addition of the spikes was enough to turn Shirong into a spiked ball instead.

Immortal Crystal Armament: Hundred Spike Wrecker!

The spiked ball started to spin as it then trampled over the paralyzed Nascent Soul realm cultivators around it. They couldn't even let out cries as tens of spikes skewered them directly.

Lin Wu and Shirong continued moving without stopping as they mowed through the enemies. The bodies of the Nascent Soul realm cultivators were left stuck on the spikes, but the ball did not stop and kept on rolling.

"SAVE ME!"

"PROPHET SAVE US!"

"O' GREAT SKULL GOD HELP US!"

Cries of mercy and pleading were heard as the spiked ball trampled upon them. Once the Nascent Soul realm cultivators were all stuck to the ball, it moved towards the weaker followers of the skull god.

They all were gathered around, so it made it even easier for Lin Wu to kill them.

"And… STRIKE!" Lin Wu shouted as he mowed down a hundred followers.
