1639 Tyrant Lift!
The method prescribed in the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets wasn’t really as efficient as at the start, one’s capacity for Immortal Essence would be quite low.
Though at the latter stages, it was said that once one had reached the full sized totem, their capacity for Immortal Essence would exponentially increase too. Of course, reaching that was already a tall mountain to climb.
There was a higher chance that before one reached that, they would simply end up dying.
Then there was the fact that the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets was a body cultivation technique that needed one to regularly battle and fight. Without that one’s cultivation base wouldn’t increase past the second or third form of the totem.
It was a body cultivation technique that relied on the regularly stimulation of the body through combat and use of the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets. It required one to expend Immortal Essence in order to progress.
In a way, it was a cultivation technique that could make one backpedal, but at the same time the power boost it provided was quite great.
“Even now, I think I might be able to fight a Fourth Tribulation Stage Immortal. And if I manage to finish both the Third Aperture and the Legless Bull Totem, I should have no issues battling a Fifth Tribulation Stage immortal either!” Lin Mu estimated.
It was quite a stunning thing to say that one could fight an immortal several stages above them but the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets allowed exactly that. In fact, it was said that when one had the completed Tyrant Bull Totem, their strength was already compared to a Transcendent Immortal!
“And adding the innate skills of the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets should also give me a greater boost.” Lin Mu concluded.
The Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets wasn’t just for improving cultivation, it even came with its own sets of skills!
There were four such skills in it, that would unlock at different forms of the Totem.
For Lin Mu though, he could only use the first skill.
“I shouldn’t try that here though… will be too bad if I break this room.” Lin Mu muttered.
He then changed into new robes, as the old ones were torn and left the room.
~CREAK~
His departure from the room was met with several gazes from the garden.
“You’re out!” The voice of Little Shrubby could be heard.
“Yep, I managed to finish early.” Lin Mu nodded as he opened his arms wide.
~THUD~
The beast quickly shrank mid way and turned into a kitten by the time he was in Lin Mu’s arms.
~SASASA~
The Yin Yang Twin serpents were not one to lag behind either and quickly wrapped around Lin Mu’s hands.
“I didn’t forget you two either.” Lin Mu rubbed their heads.
After a minute of pets, Lin Mu let them down and looked at the Saintess who was gazing at him too. Her gaze was intense even if it was hidden behind a veil. Lin Mu felt like he was being analyzed at this moment.
“You didn’t just succeed in Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets did you?” The Saintess spoke as she stood up. “I can sense far more than that. The spirit of the Tyrant Bull…”
“Yes… I reached the second form of the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets and am halfway to the third.” Lin Mu nodded his head.
“Such progress in less than a month is astonishing. From what I’ve heard, other practitioners of Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets have taken at least two or three months to do the same. But even then they could only finish the first form at the maximum.” The Saintess stated.
“I would have been in the same stage too, if not for the large quantity of Tyrant Bull Marrow I obtained. It allowed me to push the technique half way to the third form.” Lin Mu responded.
“I see… Still being able to consume that much Tyrant Bull Marrow is already a feat. If it was any other, they would have long since exploded.” The Saintess praised.
A hint of red appeared on Lin Mu’s face as he couldn’t help but feel pleased.
“I reckon you wish to test your strength?” The Saintess accurately guess.
“Indeed. While I did a basic test, I still need to see how strong the actual innate skills of the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets are.” Lin Mu answered.
“Very well… I wish to see that too.” The Saintess said much to Lin Mu’s surprise.
~SHUA~
He then saw her make a handseal in the air as clouds rapidly condensed around them. The clouds took on a dark grey hue and condensed into a rectangular pillar some distance from the Saintess.
“Use that as a target dummy.” The Saintess instructed.
Now that Lin Mu had a proper target to use the skill on without being worried about damaging anything, he was even more excited.

~WHOOSH~
A burst of aura spread from him, alarming both Little Shrubby and the twins. The beasts quickly took a few steps back, feeling a tyrannical aura from Lin Mu.
Lin Mu channeled more and more immortal essence into the totem, that started to glow under his robes. First his entire body was strengthened by the rush of strength, but it didn’t stop there.
More power traveled to Lin Mu’s arms, making his muscles tense up.
“HAA….” Lin Mu could feel his muscles expanding rapidly and within moments they had more than doubled in thickness!
~RIP~
The sudden increase in mass as tore apart the sleeves of his robes as an energy started to rise from his arms. Lin Mu’s arms that had already doubled in size, were now coated with a mass of energy red energy making them look fleshy.
With that ready, Lin Mu moved towards the cloud pillar and thrust his arms.
“Tyrant Lift!”
Lin Mu’s arms moved like the muscular trunks of mammoths, directly tearing into the cloud pillar and launching it into the sky!
