2801 Hijacking The Array
Lines of glowing script hovered between Lin Mu's fingers as he weaved them into the teleportation formation, trying to hijack its control. Around him, several other formation masters assisted, maintaining barriers and redirecting energy flows.
"Need a hand?" Lin Mu asked, already pulling out his Dao Embryo—the Rune-Shaping Brush.
"Of course!" Daoist Chu smiled briefly. "Glad you could make it."
SHUA SHUA SHUA
Lin Mu moved with precision, rapidly drawing complex runes in the air. Each stroke was like a command to the world itself, reshaping the very structure of the formation.
Thousands of symbols bloomed into existence every minute, overlapping and synchronizing with the others'.
Time passed.
Five minutes.
No interruptions came.
But in the distance, the rumble of destruction continued. The thunder of waves. The howling of sword Qi. The cries of the dying.
Lin Mu's techniques were still active—still killing.
'It lasted longer than I expected,' he thought, brushing a final rune into place. 'I suppose their numbers were too low to deplete the Qi I used.'
He didn't even need to look. He could feel it—his constructs were still harvesting lives. Still buying time.
Still terrifying the enemies into submission.
Daoist Chu exhaled deeply as the runes locked into place. The formation shifted slightly, and a pulse of power rippled outward.
"That should do it," the Daoist said, wiping sweat from his brow.
Lin Mu nodded. "We've still got a window. Let's move quickly."
Outside, the towering pine tree finally began to dim. The golden needles dissolved one by one into light, drifting away on the wind like ash after a wildfire.
The waves, too, began to recede—drawn back into the claw marks they'd emerged from, as if the ocean itself were retreating after exacting its vengeance.
The silence that followed was haunting.
No chants. No orders. No cries of faith or fury.
Only ruins.
Only death.
And Lin Mu, still calm in the eye of the storm.
His immortal sense scanned the area and saw nothing left alive.
"Looks like it's time," Lin Mu said as he took out the formation disc again.
He pressed on it one more time, this time activating the largest cluster of Demolishing Arrays that he had prepared.
KABOOM
As soon as he did, the sound of a large explosion was heard. It came from afar, and yet the shockwave reached them quickly. Though they were inside the teleportation building and did not feel it directly, the rubble outside certainly did.
Chunks of sandstone and debris were knocked around by the blast, while hundreds of windows shattered in unison.
The place that had exploded was none other than the Holy See.
The divine structure—the very heart of the Osteri Divine Order—was now burning and crumbling. Several buildings within the sacred compound had collapsed, and the lives of those inside were snuffed out. Around forty percent of the entire complex had been reduced to rubble, with only a few of the core structures still standing.
16:27
They had survived by force, but not without cost.
Injuries riddled the defenders, and the damage had not ceased. The destruction was still spreading, the foundations of even the surviving buildings cracked and unstable. Without immediate repair, they too would fall.
And that was exactly what Lin Mu wanted.
It gave him time.
HUALA
Just as the explosion rocked the Holy See, the teleportation array finally fell under their control.
"It's done!" Daoist Chu announced, his eyes shining with relief.
"This is just half the work," Lin Mu said, not relaxing even for a moment. "Everyone get ready. We'll be sending you away in batches of a hundred."
"We can leave already?" one of the cultivators asked in surprise.
"Yes. Now get in line!" Lin Mu ordered sharply.
The cultivators obeyed without hesitation.
About a hundred of them moved quickly into position within the circle of the teleportation array as it began to stir.
"We're sending you to the Nubai World. It's the nearest world, and your first task is to inform the local authorities. Once there, contact the Immortal Court's emissary stationed in the area," Lin Mu instructed.
"We'll do as you command," the cultivators replied in unison.
Even though many of them were independent experts—used to following no one's orders—they felt an unshakable sense of authority from Lin Mu. They had only known him briefly. They had seen his power for mere moments.
Yet none dared question him.
Rage still simmered in their hearts. They had been wronged, imprisoned, tortured—subject to fates unfit for beasts, let alone cultivators.
They would not let the Osteri Divine Order walk away unpunished.
Forget the Immortal Court—they intended to bring down the full fury of the powers that backed them.
And many of them had backing. In fact, several of the cultivators here were natives of the Nubai World. That was the whole reason they had come to the Osteri World in the first place—it was the path home.
Now, with such injustice done to them, they would not return quietly.
The offense was too great.
And they would make sure that the Osteri World regretted this for generations.
"Power supply is stable!"
"Destination set!"
The formation masters called out their updates one by one.
"Begin!" Daoist Chu commanded.
HUALA
The teleportation array began to glow, the runes flickering with life and power.
A brilliant flash of light followed—and in the next instant, the hundred individuals standing within the circle vanished.
"Teleportation successful!" the formation masters confirmed.
"Good," Lin Mu replied.
"It should take them three days to reach the Nubai World. It isn't that far from here," Daoist Chu stated.
"Hmm. If it's just three days, their world should be within the same solar system, right?" Lin Mu asked.
"Indeed," Daoist Chu confirmed. "It is the planet furthest away from thier sun." he added.
"That far? Then it must be a cold planet I assume." Lin Mu asked.
"it is. Quite the opposite of the Osteri World." Daoist Chu stated.
