Chapter 2098 Devastation Just as Little Shrubby had taken Lady Kang away, the vibrant orange double helix struck the Colossal Laval Slug. The double helix was like a grinder, directly breaking down the lava that composed the slug's body. And it didn't just break it down, as it remove it from the body, but rather break it down on a more basic level. The red hot lava directly transformed into a heated powder of some kind and separated out! It was a new effect that was not seen before. Perhaps it was because there was metal elemental immortal Qi in it, the shredding properties of the original Metal Devastator had been enhanced several times over. But this was just the start, as the vibrant orange double helix then entered the body of the Colossal Lava Slug. ~WOONG~ Another strange sound was heard before the lava slug started to behave differently. It froze for a moment, before its heads were sucked into its body! ~SQUEEZE~ And it wasn't just its head either, the tentacles on its body as well as the spikes on back were sucked into its body too. Then, its body started to gather together, and turned into a large lava sphere in just a couple of seconds. It all happened so fast that a mortal would only see a blur before a lava sphere would appear. The Lava Sphere was static for a moment before suddenly bulging out in hundreds of spots, as if unable to maintain its structure. ~KABOOM!~ Then finally it exploded! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦 The entire lava sphere seemingly broke down into a hot dust and increased the force of the explosion further with the added mass. The Lava lake under it was also not free from the effects of the skill and started to break down as well, turning into a hot dust from the initial wave of the explosion. A three hundred meter wide depression appeared in the lava lake, with all of it having been broken down into hot dust before the lake was struck by the full force of the explosion! ~BOOM~ A mushroom cloud seemingly appeared where the lake was, hiding everything inside it. The mushroom clouds were bright orange in color and emitted a heat that melted the hot dust back down into lava again. But this lava wasn't red, but white hot in color. Even low grade immortal weapons would melt if they were to touch this white hot lava that was like the surface of the sun! The explosion was blindingly bright and the force generated from it was enough to send Lin Mu flying back. Splashes of lava and rocky debris from the area struck Lin Mu, but due to the Longgui Bulwark Armor was enough to protect him. Little Shrubby, who was already dragging Lady Kang away, gained another burst of speed due to the force of the explosion, directly sending him five kilometers away. ~HUALA~ In all this, four of the hair ornaments on Lady Kang's braid glowed before a large barrier surrounded both her and Little Shrubby at the same time. ~CRASH~ The two crashed into a hill far away, directly destroying it in its entirety. Though thankfully, the mass of the hill was more than enough to slow down their momentum and make them stop. Though they still ended up leaving a hundred meter wide crater where they landed. It was the same in the case of Lin Mu, who had been launched over five kilometers away too. But unlike Lady Kang and Little Shrubby, he had been able to resist the impact a lot better and had even managed to witness the entire scene from start to the end. ~CRASH~ He dug his hands into the ground to break his momentum and left a three hundred meter long gully in it before he finally stopped. "HOOH~ That… Was way bigger than I thought." Lin Mu said to himself, taking a deep breath. ~SHUA~ He spread his immoral sense, and quickly sensed where Lady Kang and Little Shrubby were. In the next moment he disappeared, as he started to move towards the two while using blink. Soon enough, he had reached where they were and found them to be fine. "Are you okay?" Lin Mu asked. "Yes…" Lady Kang said, as she got up from the crater. ~Growl~ Little Shrubby shook off the dust and dirt from him as he turned to look at the scene of devastation. ~HONG~ But the sound of an aftershock pulled their attention again. The Mushroom cloud was still present and had seemingly grown in size! "What did you do?" Lady Kang questioned, seeing that the explosion had still not stopped. It had now been a minute since Lin Mu had utterly destroyed the Lava Slug, but the mushroom cloud was still present there. But that wasn't all, as they could still sense smaller explosions happening inside the mushroom clouds that could be felt by their immortal sense. Erratic pulses of energy continued to spread as the ground trembled from it. ~TREMBLE~ "I upgraded one of my skills…" Lin Mu replied. "Though I didn't expect it to reach this level." He spoke as the ground continued to shake. ~RUMBLE~ The shaking only got stronger before cracks started to spread in the ground. "I think we should get away from here." Lady Kang could sense further danger. "Probably." Lin Mu nodded and the two got onto Little Shrubby. ~SWOOSH~ The beast turned into a red blur and carried the pair further away. ~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~ ~RUMBLE~ But even if they got further, the ground continue to shake and crack. It was as if it was the start of an earthquake. It was not until they had gone over fifteen kilometers from the lava lake did the trembling of the ground stop. But when they looked back, all they saw were hundreds of fissures in the ground that had all grown from where the lava lake was. The Mushroom cloud had mostly faded away by now, but had left behind a bigger lake behind.
