Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu's fist struck the Dantian of the Demonic Sentinel shattering it with ease. -WHOOSH-
With it breaking, a surge of Demonic Qi spread in the hall, pushing away all the Immortal Qi that was dispersed in it. It spread all the way to where Lin Mu's companions where and threatened to wash over it.
"Great Palm Hedge!" but Ziran acted quick, and erected a barrier that looked like it was made out of Palm Leaves.
-SHA-SHA-SHA-
The Demonic Qi collided with the leaf barrier and made it tremble, as damaged started being inflicted on to it. It wasn't exactly an energy that most cultivators were fine with. It could also be corrosive to others, depending on its concentration simply due to its natural domineering nature.
-FUUUSH-
But after a few moments, it held up and the barrage of demonic Qi ended.
While this happened, Lin Mu did something sneakily. 'The Dao Essence Crystal could come in use...' Lin Mu thought to himself, as he firmly grasped it within the Dantian of the Demonic Sentinel.
He tried to store it away, but the Dao Essence Crystal resisted. Or rather, it was the will of the statue that was preventing it from being taken.
Even if it's Dantian had been shattered, it didn't mean that it was completely 'dead' just yet.
"If you're gonna be bothersome, I don't have time for this." Lin Mu knew time was of the essence thus took a decisive step.
"Meld." He directly used the ring's fourth skill and covered the space around the Demonic Dao Essence Crystal.
This caused it to be forcibly cut off from the rest of the statue, and allowed Lin Mu to take it away without any resistance.
-shua-
The entire Demonic Sentient seemingly turned limp once the Dao Essence Crystal was pulled out. Its arms slumped down, while its legs bent, unable to maintain their rigidity.
-THUD-
The statue collapsed to the floor, causing a few cracks to spread on its body as well as the ground.
-Phew-
Lin Mu's companions took a breath of relief seeing it dead. "It's finally dead... It would have been difficult to go against something that could use a Demonic Dao Skill." Ziran spoke. "Indeed... While we might have been able to take it on in a group, we would certainly have sustained injuries." Lady Kang agreed. "It was at least as strong as a Sixth Tribulation Stage expert in terms of pure power." She added.
"Thankfully it lacked intelligence." Elder Hu chimed in. "The programmed behavior in it was built to fight and analyze an opponent, but there is still a limit to it. And I don't think it was built to go up against someone that could sense its weakness." He added while looking at Lin Mu.
The oppressive aura around Lin Mu had long since faded away, while the sword in his hand had also calmed down. He stood there looking at the now dead statue, a few thoughts going through his mind unknown to the group.
They didn't know that he was simply reveling in the spoils he had obtained.
'That's more like it.' Lin Mu felt pleased with the little 'bonus' reward from this round.
Dao Essence Crystals weren't always easy to find, especially those that belonged to more rare or unique Daos.
The Demonic Dao might not be as rare when considered the entirety of the Immortal realm, but it was still rare for most human cultivators. Even among the demons, it was quite unusual for a Demonic Dao Essence Crystal to be left behind as they were not creatures that would die easily.
If they were pushed to the brink of death, they would give it their all and would rather detonate their soul and body than to give into the enemy.
As such, it was rare to see a Demonic Dao Essence Crystals. Even for the demons that 'peacefully' passed away, such crystals were rare as they would not let these be created.
Instead the demons would let their spirits be merged into the Ancestral Tablets, which would ensure the protection of their tribe for centuries and millenniums to
come.
This led Lin Mu to believe that this was probably not from a demon.

'The aura from this Dao Essence Crystal is not as 'domineering' as it should be. It is weaker than even the old aura of the Burning Heart Sutra when I was in the Spirit realm.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'This is probably from a human that had taken the Demonic Path... A Demonic Cultivator.' He guessed. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

There was actually no lack of such cultivators in the Immortal realm either, though they were certainly concentration/in specific parts. This was either in the form of Demonic
/ wers
Sects, or rogue Demonic cultivators that were part of some organizations externally. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Of course, there were exceptions to it, such as the few that were also part of the Immortal Court, but most of them were usually not found roaming around in the
territories of the Immortal Court.

'Perhaps this was acquired by the
creator of the inheritance ground, some time ago and then utilized here. Ziran did say that a Xormal Demonic Sentinel needs to be powered by a Demon for it to work properly. Seeing how it was designed with great detail,
this was certainly planned with the Dao Essence Crystal in mind.' Lin Mu analyzed. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

While Lin Mu didn't know what he would be doing with the Demonic Dao Essence Crystal, he did know that there would be plenty of uses for it. Since it was still a Dao Essence Crystal in the end, it would have plenty of buyers on the market. Even among the cultivators of the righteous path, they would still like buying it as it could give them a chance at getting experience with Demonic Dao Traces. They would gain some resistance to it and won't be as oppressed as others. And for righteous sects, such Dao Essence crystal would be the perfect opportunity to let their disciples experience Demonic aura in a safe environment.
