Chapter 1281 A Proto-Fissure



Chapter 1281 A Proto-Fissure

  From what Lin Mu had seen from the distance, the Chasm beasts were circling around a specific location. It was too far for Lin Mu to see it clearly, and now that he was in the middle of the area, it was hard to perceive.

This was due to the fact that the Chasm Beasts were all gone and there was nothing demarcating the area of interest.

”Hmmm… if I recall correctly, it should be a little further from here?” Lin Mu used his memory and tried to track back the path.

~hiss~

And when he reached a certain point, the twin snakes let out a wary hiss. Their pupils became narrow slits while their necks were stiff.

”What did you sense?” Lin Mu asked the two.

From their link, Lin Mu felt alarm and anxiety. Considering their strength and fearlessness before, their current state was a cause for alarm. Beasts had greater senses and instincts than humans at times, and Lin Mu knew to trust them.

After all, Little Shrubby had helped him in this aspect many times and had solidified Lin Mu’s faith in beast instincts. 

”It’s even more concerning if the twins with their strong bloodline is reacting like this…” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

His spirit sense was extended to the max and was sensing an area of ten meters around him. Lin Mu continued to walk, and soon felt something.

”What’s this?” Lin Mu had come to a halt in the middle of an empty spot.

There was literally nothing here, no rock, no stone, no hill, nothing. Lin Mu thought that there might be something underground, but even when checking the depths of the earth, he found nothing.

~hiss~

The twins continued to hiss at the air, as if there was something invisible there.

”Hang on… can it be?” Lin Mu furrowed his brows as an idea came to his mind.

He closed his eyes for a second before opening them. This time his spatial perception was fully activated, and allowed him to see the secrets of space in front of him.

”No wonder they felt wary, but there was nothing here on the surface.” Lin Mu muttered as he observed the area in front of him.

With his spatial perception activated, Lin Mu saw what looked like a thin layer of cracks in the air. They were fine like the cracks of a glass mirror, but at the same time; they emitted almost negligible spatial fluctuations.

Otherwise, someone like Lin Mu who was proficient in the spatial abilities, would have sensed it quickly. 

”Hmm… isn’t this called as a proto-fissure?” Lin Mu recalled some information.

A Proto-fissure was actually a form of spatial instability. It was the preliminary stage before the fabric of space would be torn apart. And when that happened, it would turn into a portal into the void. 

Usually Proto-fissures were highly unstable and would rapidly turn into portals or an entire spatial crack. 

Only when the space was cracking in a very steady manner would such a proto-fissure would be formed. 

But there was another cause behind the formation of a Proto-fissures that came to Lin Mu’s mind.

”Is there a plane behind this?” Lin Mu guessed.

Another reason why a promo-fissure might appear is if there was actually a minor plane attached to the world. Since the links between the plane and the world would be fixed, the formation of a fissure would be streamlined and smooth.

This would make the space turn into a Proto-fissure. But then, if this became a lot more unstable, it would turn into an entire Spatial Fissure. Something like that was dangerous enough to wipe out entire countries at once if left unchecked.

After realizing all this though, Lin Mu had another discovery.

”Why would something like this be in the Land of Exile though?” Lin Mu couldn’t figure that out.

He waited and continued to observe the Proto-fissure for a few minutes before deciding to process further.

”I’ll only learn more if I explore the insides of that plane.” Lin Mu said to himself. “That is IF, it’s even a plane.”

Having made up his mind, Lin Mu got closer. 

~hiss~

The twins were anxious, but Lin Mu soon calmed them down. 

”It’ll be fine. Don’t worry, you two.” Lin Mu petted them for a bit.

Once that was done, Lin Mu extended his right hand and activated the ring.

~shua~

The space in front of him turned blurry before the Proto-Fissures became visible to the naked eye. The ring continued to drain Lin Mu’s spirit Qi while trying to open a stable portal to the supposed plane.

’The consumption of spirit Qi is a lot greater now. Not just that, the space seems to be a lot more ‘durable’ too. Guess that is the difference between a mortal world and an Immortal world.’ Lin Mu discovered.

It took him about five minutes before the ring succeeded in opening a stable portal. While this could have been opened in less than a minute, if Lin Mu just forced it, the portal might not be stable with that.

”Let’s check it out then.” Lin Mu stepped into the portal, appearing in a new area.

Right away he could tell that the Plane and the Rust Sky world were closely attached. 

’There was no sense of travel this time. It was more like passing through a curtain again… which means this minor plane might have just been manufactured.’ Lin Mu concluded.

But that also means that Lin Mu would have a lot of things to explore.

But after taking a few steps inside, Lin Mu’s brows furrowed.

”This… is rather… small.” Lin Mu said.

There were very clear spatial boundaries just four meters away from Lin Mu. The entire area was like a small square with four meter long sides.

Lin Mu touched the ‘walls’ of the plane and sensed the volatile spatial energy behinds it.

”Yup… that’s the void, alright.” Lin Mu said before focusing on the main point of interest.

It was a broken statue that only had the bottom half of its legs remaining.
