Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2264  Defeat Of A God

Xukong had seen Lin Mu collapse earlier, but reckoned it was simply due to the impact of the Chimeric Fiend God's name. He did know that Lin Mu would be affected by the Karma, but was willing to let him experience it.

'I was going to act if anything bad happened, but he managed to get through it on his own.' This was what Xukong had thought earlier.

He would have certainly known if Lin Mu was in trouble due to Karma and would have interfered. But to him, it looked like Lin Mu had managed to get through it all on his own.

While he looked exhausted and his breath was unstable, that was not something that threatened his life.

In fact, if that was all he rendered after bearing the Karma of hearing Chimeric God Fiend's name, it was an excellent result.

But once Xukong heard the details of all that Lin Mu had seen an experience, he understood that the situation was a lot different.

"You actually saw the full visage of the Chimeric Fiend God…" Xukong muttered. "To think it would actually manifest that." He himself hadn't expected that.

"It was not supposed to happen?" Lin Mu questioned.

"No…" Xukong denied. "While the Karma of the Chimeric Fiend God is still present, it isn't something that should've caused such an effect. Something like this… should only be possible if the Chimeric Fiend God is still in existence…" He stated feeling confused himself.

"Wait… the Chimeric Fiend God isn't alive?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course not." Xukong replied. "He was defeated a long time ago and was certainly killed. The Courts confirmed it themselves." He added.

"Then… how did I see all that?" Lin Mu couldn't help but mutter. He thought for a bit before deciding to inquire a few more things.

"The proof that the Courts have… what is it?" Lin Mu asked. "Can it be trusted?" "Yes… the Proof is none other than the Corpse of the Chimeric Fiend God." Xukong answered. "His corpse?" Lin Mu had seen just how big the Chimeric Fiend God was and didn't even know what its corpse would look like. "They've kept its corpse?" "Yes." Xukong nodded. "Its kept safe at a secret location. Even I do not know where it is." He added.

Hearing that there was a corpse as proof, Lin Mu wasn't totally convinced. After all, most cultivators would be able to live even without their bodies, as long as their Nascent soul was intact.

"The Chimeric Fiend God was certainly not just any Immortal or Celestial… it surely had more methods to save its life." Lin Mu spoke. "Thus is it possible that it managed to stay alive with its soul?" he asked next.

"Hmm, that is a possibility the Courts had indeed considered. But the defeat of the Chimeric Fiend God was brought upon by another being that had guaranteed that its soul had been exterminated too." Xukong answered.

"It wasn't the immortal Court that defeated the Chimeric Fiend God?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"No… It was another being. Someone that was forced to act because his bottom line was touched. It was a being that was perhaps no less weaker than the Chimeric Fiend God too." Xukong replied making Lin Mu shocked.

"Who was it?" Lin Mu couldn't believe that there would be another being on the level of the Chimeric Fiend God.

"It was a disciple of the Taiji Celestial." Xukong revealed, making Lin Mu's eyes go wide. "Perhaps the strongest disciple of the Taiji Celestial and a Beast Emperor." He stated.

The words were enough to give Lin Mu think of tons of more questions as it opened up a whole new realm of possibilities.

"A Beast Emperor… not a human cultivator?" Lin Mu said in intrigue.

"Indeed. The detailed records about him are sealed and even I only know little about it since it all happened in a time period while I was in seclusion. The might of the Beast Emperor was said to be great and he had an alliance with the Courts too, as such all the information about him was sealed based on his commands." Xukong explained.

"Why would he do that?" Lin Mu wondered. "Since he defeated the Chimeric Fiend God, it was a great achievement. Why would the Beast Emperor hide this instead?" he was confused. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

~Sigh~

Hearing that, Xukong let out a sigh.

"When someone lives as long as I or other beings like me have, they tend to get… Distant. They do not wish to be bothered by the matters of the cultivation world and only wish to live in seclusion while growing their own cultivation. Of course they could have other desires too, but they prefer to keep to their own matters.

As such they do not like when they are bothered." Xukong answered.

Lin Mu could understand this part since he could simply take them as hermit experts who did not involve themselves in worldly matters.

"And when someone is as strong as that beast emperor… People tend to look up to them." Xukong spoke. "And what will happen when a great trouble comes along?" he asked Lin Mu.

"They will look for someone that can solve it… Like the Beast Emperor." Lin Mu was starting to figure it out.

"Indeed." Xukong nodded. "The defeat of the Chimeric Fiend God was the last act that the Beast Emperor did… A favor for the Cultivation world before he withdrew from it." He stated.

"So his name is unknown?" Lin Mu asked after a bit of a pause.

"Yes. Though I reckon the Karma that he bore was possibly greater than the Chimeric Fiend God too. After all he did defeat him." Xukong replied. "Thus I do not think you'd be able to bear it even if I could tell you about it." He added.

Lin Mu had barely gotten through the Chimeric Fiend God's Karma, thus he knew for sure he wasn't ready for someone greater than that.

"But… there is indeed a title that was given to him informally." Xukong suddenly said.

"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.

"He was known as the Noblest of Beasts… The Beast Emperor of Radiance."
