Lin Wu's power was being used at full force, and the effect was clearly seen.
"Let's see how long this can last. A sect's barriers should be pretty strong, and if I can break them like this, I'll have a new standard for myself." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
~CRACK~
Finally, it happened… formation arrays of the Frozen Cliff divisor were unable to hold on anymore and finally cracked apart!
The runes were forcibly pushed away by the radiation and wind and the scene behind the barrier was finally revealed.
"Oh my?" Lin Wu said in surprise as he saw the line after line of disciples that were seemingly waiting there.
The disciples who were standing there seemed to be stunned and didn't know how to react. Lin Wu had broken the barrier far too quickly such that they didn't even get the chance to report to the elders who had just left the division to go check out the trouble outside. Also, the other disciples that had indeed seen Lin Wu were already dead and in his stomach.
"Seems like I can start my feast early!" Lin Wu said with a hiss as his mouth opened up wide.
"RUN!!!" The disciples shouted as they saw the massive beast that had just appeared out of nowhere.
Since the barrier blocked both sides of it, the people on either side couldn't tell what was staying on the other side. Of course, there were ways to check who was there, but this authority laid with the elders in charge. There were different setting for it too but in the current situation where the different divisions were at wall it was better to hide both the sides.
~boom~
~shua~
~shing~
Several attacks were let off by the disciples with the hopes that it might repel Lin Wu, but all of them were useless against him and his crystalline body.
"Hah! Such weak attacks don't even tickle me!" Lin Wu shouted, but it only came out as a screech for the disciples.
~Screech!~
The disciples felt disoriented and hurt from the screech some of them stumbling unfortunately and being sucked in by Lin Wu's mouth. The wind spirit qi stirred around him, pulling in all the dead bodies of the disciples and the living ones of those that were a bit too unfortunate.
Lin Wu saw the notifications for spirit qi popping up non-stop as he continued consuming all of them non stop. The disciples were far too weak to resist and they couldn't even tell what Lin Wu's cultivation base was due to the fact that there was radiation surrounding him.
In just ten minutes, Lin Wu had ended up consuming more than a thousand disciples and now there was no one left near him.
"Hmm… that was a nice snack. Let's see how much we got…" Lin Wu muttered and opened up the window for the notifications.
~DING~
——
SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 3,475,567 units [Liquid spirit qi]
SPIRIT QI STORAGE: 49,140,322 units [liquid spirit qi] -> 52,615,899 units [liquid spirit qi]

"Oh! That's nice. We're half way there already." Lin Wu said, finding it rather pleasant.
He checked the map and saw that the number of people on this peak were almost gone. And the ones that were left there were mostly weak qi refining realm disciples.
"Time to check out another peak," Lin Wu said before he moved to another peak to the side.
This one was smaller than the previous one and mostly had residences built on it. Lin Wu checked the map and saw that there were a decent amount of disciples here too. The ones that were here was a mix of cultivation bases too.
'These must be the disciples that are currently in seclusion and also the ones that are acting as reserves in case they are needed sometime later.' Lin Wu thought to himself.
But this time, Lin Wu was not as lucky as before.
~SHUA~
Lin Wu saw something red flying up to the sky before it exploded into a a burst of light. From this, a bunch of letters appeared that spelled 'help'.
"Ugh, they caught on…" Lin Wu muttered.
Thankfully, the skies were still filled with dark clouds and strong winds blew along with lightning bolts that raced across the clouds. This helped stop the effect of the emergency flare from reaching the further areas. Only those that were in the nearby peaks would be able to see it and those that had left toe check up on the heavenly tribulation would not be able to see much.
In fact, they might not even detect it being used.
"Time to erase the traces," Lin Wu said as he raised his head and opened his mouth. A green orb of wind attribute spirit qi gathered in it before Lin Wu forcefully closed his mouth, biting down onto the orb.
~BOOM~
Another explosion was heard as the green wind attribute spirit qi orb exploded into a beam of wind that erased everything that stood in its path. It was strong enough to make the clouds in the sky change their directions. Thankfully, there were plenty of clouds there or there was a chance that Lin Wu would end up exposing his own location instead.
"GATHER UP! GATHER UP!" A man who was wearing slightly different robes from the other disciples spoke.
Lin Wu could tell that the man was a core disciple of the sect due to the fact that his spirit qi fluctuation were not hidden at all.
"All disciples follow the protocol! Activate the defenses!" The man ordered.
Lin Wu looked at the man and directly used his spirit sense to probe him. The man felt the foreign spirit sense touching his body and was stunned.
"W-what?!" he could feel the power within it.
"You're at the Infant soul stage of the nascent soul realm, huh… at least you'll provide me more spirit qi than others." Lin Wu said before his eyes glowed in a red light.
~SHUA~
Under the control of the disciples, another formation array was erected, this one being a bit weaker than the one that was protecting the Frozen Cliff division, but it had greater offensive firepower than it as well.
"ATTACK!" The core disciples said, still reeling from the effect of the spirit sense probe.
'Dammit! Just what kind of a beast is this and how did it even enter the sect?' The core disciples wondered to himself.
Unfortunately for him, this was a question that would not be answered for him and his misfortune was only going to increase even more.
The disciples saw as hundreds of attacks were released by the formation array and a great fire raged. But before they could reach Lin Wu, he raised his tail high up.
~SWOOSH~
He swept over the attacks, extinguishing them as if they were nothing, and even broke the formation array in one hit. It was as if he was cutting through paper and the disciples were not safe from it either. A cacophony of cries and shouts were heard as the tail killed all that it touched. Most of the disciples that were in front were killed even before the tail hit them due to the air pressure generated from it.
The residences were uprooted and most were reduced to smithereens. Their protective array's and defenses all collapsed under the face of absolute power.
"DAMMIT! DIAMOND MOUNTAIN TALISMAN!" The nascent soul realm core disciples shouted as he threw out a square talisman.
~Shua~
The talisman suddenly expanded into the shape of a mountain and covered the disciples. White runes covered it and provided it structure, turning it into a physical object.
~CLANG~
Lin Wu's tail hit the construct and was actually blocked.
"My, my! Now you've shown me something interesting…" Lin Wu said, seeing the effect of the talisman.
This was a new thing for him, and he certainly took an interest in it.
"Scan this system!" Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~

TARGET IDENTIFIED: Minor Diamond Mountain Talisman
INFO: The Minor Diamond Mountain Talisman is a defensive type of a talisman and is from the group of famous Diamond Mountain Talismans. The one used here is the lowest grade one and can still block a single attack of a Dao Shell realm cultivator. It is a single use talisman and will be expended after it use.
The Diamond Mountain talismans are valuable talismans and are even used in higher worlds. The Lesser Diamond Mountain talisman can even block the attack of an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator while the Great Diamond Mountain talisman transcends the spirit qi and reaches into the immortal qi, able to block those in the false immortal realm!
——
Reading the information provided by the system, Lin Wu was certainly intrigued.
"Looks like this trip will be a lot more beneficial. I'll need to check the memories of this guy to see where he got something like this from." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
While he was doing this, Lin Wu was also continuing to attack the Nascent soul realm core disciple. If the disciples could know what Lin Wu was doing, even splitting his attention in doing different things, he might just die from frustration.
"If one attack doesn't break it, just take more of them!" Lin Wu stated as he spun around and slapped the Diamond mountain from the other side.
~CLANG~
"Impossible!" The Nascent soul realm Core disciple said in disbelief. "how can this beast be this strong?!"
~SHATTER~
The Minor Diamond Mountain Talisman's construct finally broke apart like glass and dissipated.
~THWACK~
The disciple quickly threw out as many trump cards as he had, but all of them were knocked away like they were just air.
"N-no.. No!!!" He shouted in unwillingness.
~SLICK~
But before he could run, a spike pierced through his chest. His eyes went wide as he stared at the large spike jutting out of his chest.
'Is this the end…?' he wondered as his last thoughts.
But a few seconds later, he was thrown into Lin Wu's mouth and quickly consumed.

Lin Wu felt all the information appearing in his mind at once, but he put it away for the time being.
"System show me this later. For now, we need to meet some new people. We won't be alone for long.." Lin Wu said as he saw several markers flying towards his location.
