Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The Gui clan watched with wide eyes as an otherworldly creature stood at their doorstep.

It was a massive creature that seemed to be at least a hundred meters long on the formation screen. Hundreds of sharp fangs could be seen in its mouth, while its red eyes and patterns shone on its crystalline green body. Each segment of its body seemed to be carved out of an emerald green crystal that shone with pure power.

None of them knew what kind of beast it was, but taking a mere look at it stirred their souls.

"W-What… What in the name of heavens is that!?" The elders of the Gui clan shouted in utter shock.

Even the Patriarch and the Ancestor couldn't help but gulp in unsettling anxiety.

"Hellooooooo~! I know you guys are in there." But much to their surprise, the strange creature kept on speaking. "I've come here to warn you, as well as to help your clan against a great danger. The Long clan and the Hu clan have sent me." The creature mentioned.

"The Long Clan and Hu Clan?" the Supreme elder was stunned hearing the names of the other two great clans.

"What should we do patriarch?" The clan elders wondered.

"It seems like a dangerous creature. We need to defend ourselves!" Some of the more scared elders stated.

"Silence. It has not attacked us yet." The Ancestor said firmly.

Unlike the others, while she was taken aback by the large creature, she wasn't scared silly. She still had her wits and knew better than to make a decision in hurry.

"I am here to warn you of the Calamity Fiend. It is going to attack you, just as it did the Long continent and the Hu continent." The strange creature suddenly said. "Or rather… I think it already has attacked your clan before this. It certainly has wrecked the Gui continent from what I've seen so far." It added.

"The Calamity Fiend!?" All the elders were shocked upon hearing that name.

Even the patriarch and Ancestor narrowed their eyes as they heard the very same name, that had been sent to them as a warning by hundreds of their clan members. They had described in detail, about the hell that had been unleashed by the Calamity Fiend on the Gui continent.

They knew exactly how many cities and settlements had been eradicated by the malevolent being.

"What should we do, Ancestor?" The Patriarch asked.

The old woman was silent for a minute before finally responding.

"We will go meet it." The Gui Clan Ancestor stated. "Ancestor! That is utterly dangerous!" the elders protested.

"It is still better than sitting here like ducks. Even if that creature is dangerous, do you think anything would change if we didn't go out? In our state, just handling one monster is enough, not to mention two." The old woman scoffed at the cowardice of her clan.

The elders all went silent while the patriarch thought about her choice.

"Very well, we shall go meet the creature." The patriarch agreed after a few moments of deliberation.

He too, understood the situation they were in, and that the clan would not be able to handle too many adversaries. With that said, the Patriarch, the ancestor, and a group of high ranking elders left the Grand Hall and went to meet the guest.

Lin Wu of course knew that he was being watched, as the system had already informed him of an observation formation being active.

"How's the progress on accessing the arrays, system?" Lin Wu asked.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: Fomentation array takeover at 78%!

——

"Perfect." Lin Wu said feeling pleased.

This was his plan b, in case the Gui clan did not respond to him. He would not break the dome, instead getting it to open from the inside with the help of the system. It was the same in the end and would result in lesser damage. It was the least offensive way he could think of to get the Gui clan to talk with him.

Thankfully, he didn't have to do that, and he sensed the glacier moving slightly.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: 11 cultivators have been detected!

——

"Looks like they're finally responding." Lin Wu said as he followed the system's marker.

He soon found a small hole opening in the glacial dome. Of course, the hole was only small compared to his size. It was still nearly four meters in size, which was quite big for humans.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHAU~

And from the hole came out several people, whom Lin Wu recognized to be the members of the Gui clan.

"Ah! Greetings!" Lin Wu said with a wide toothy smile, unnerving the elders.

"Who are you?" The old woman took the lead, showing her experience as the ancestor.

"You must be the Ancestor of the Gui clan, considering you're at the Immortal Ascension Realm." Lin Wu replied. "Like I said earlier, I am Lin Wu. The King of the Emeraldine Legion as well as the ally of the Long clan and the Hu clan." He introduced.

"Do you have any proof of that?" The ancestor asked.

"Of course." Lin Wu replied with a smile. "I believe this should be more than enough." He said, before creating some runes in the air.

The elders were surprised to see a beast use runes like this but then saw that the runes had turned into a formation screen.

~SHUA~ SHUA~

And on that screen, appeared the Ancestors of the Long Clan as well as the Hu clan. But that wasn't all as the scene changed again, and it showed Lin Wu meeting with the Long clan guardian and the Hu clan guardian.

"Heavens… it is true." The elders were stunned.

Even the patriarch and the Ancestor were surprised that all that Lin Wu had said was true.

"Now that we've established some rapport. I think we should have a serious talk." Lin Wu said, his smile disappearing. "Your clan and the Gui continent are in danger." He warned. "We know… We've already been attacked before." The Ancestor of the Gui clan admitted.
