Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Shirong watched on from far as bolt after bolt of lighting felt on the Immortal Crystal armament. He could not it due to the red vortex that was spinning around it and blurring its appearance.

But whenever the lighting stuck it, there was a moment when the entire area would glow up with a blinding light, it was during this time that he could see the faint outline of something huge behind the curtain.

Shirong didn't know why the blurry figure behind it was so big but reckoned that it was just the shadow that was appearing bigger as the actual Immortal Crystal Armament was much smaller in size.

By now, the third lightning bolt had already struck the spear which was a lot considering that it was not an actual cultivator. Even if it was a cultivator, that was still a sign of how talented that person was.

Shirong felt goosebumps appearing on his skin every time those tribulation lightning bolts fell. He took a deep breath and moved back a few hundred meters more.

'Just to be on the safe side...' he thought.

***

Lin Wu on the other hand, was feeling rather calm. The tribulation lightning bolts were not really hurting him as much as they had before. He didn't know if this was due to the increase in the innate skill radiation manipulation or the Immortal Sky Shaker Art.

But the tribulation lightning bolts simply hit his body and spread towards his core before affecting it. Though the side effect of this increased resistance was that it took longer for his core to start developing cracks.

~Rumble~

~boom~

Another lightning bolt struck Lin Wu's body and the cracks finally covered fifty percent of the surface of the core. Lin Wu had been wondering what the situation would be like with his avatar.

His main body had two nascent Souls that looked different and with the addition of the avatar Lin Wu reckoned that he may be the first beast to have three nascent Souls.

~Boom~

~Boom~

~Boom~

Three more lightning bolts fell and now his core was fully covered in cracks, just on the cusp of breaking.

"Come on now bro, don't keep me hanging." Lin Wu said, while looking up at the tribulation clouds.

~Crackle~

His words seem to have aggravated the tribulation clouds as they suddenly started to expand. Then a hole opened up in the center of the clouds, within which a tribulation lightning bolt that was four times as thick as before was suspended.

"There you go... nice and thick..." Lin Wu said with a chuckle as he amped his defenses.

Lin Wu had drawn the conclusion that the stronger the tribulation lightning was the better the spirit Qi infusion that came after that would be. That spirit Qi infusion was quite good for a cultivator and Lin Wu reckoned that it may help with his bottleneck in the Undaunted Sapphire Body art.

~Kaboom!~

The thick lightning bolt finally fell from the tribulation clouds and struck Lin Wu's body, spreading fine cracks over his body.

"Ooo! Hurts like a bitch!" Lin Wu cursed, but held on.

The lightning coursed through his body before finally reaching his core and impacting it.

~shatter~

A blinding light came from the core before it finally shattered. But when the light finally faded, Lin Wu saw something he had actually not expected.

"What the hell!? What's up with this nascent soul?" Lin Wu exclaimed.

Inside Lin Wu's Dantian, a new nascent Soul was floating. It was emerald green in color like Lin Wu and was also... a worm.

"I thought it would be like the previous two, being in the human form. But this... how did it become a worm?" Lin Wu couldn't help but question.

~Ding~

----

ANSWER: The host's avatar is inherently part of this world and was created here, thus the system had reached the hypothesis that the Worm Nascent Soul may be due to that. In the case of Host's main body, that belonged to the host's own soul which was of a human, and thus the Nascent Soul born was also in the form of a human.

The system does not have an accurate reason behind this, but according to the extrapolated data from the Data banks, the system concludes that it is the workings of the heavenly laws of this universe.

Lin Wu read the answer of the system and went silent for a few seconds.

"Hmm... that's doesn't really justify it, but okay. I guess we can deal with it for now. Doesn't seem like it's gonna cause any problem either way." Lin Wu said to himself and prepared for the spirit Qi infusion that was about to happen.

~shua~

A massive vortex of spirit Qi now started spinning around the previous red vortex that was glowing due to radiation. This vortex was strong enough that it directly bore through the curtain of radiation without being restricted and entered Lin Wu's body.

His body started to grow rapidly and his spirit Qi also started restoring. Lin Wu took this opportunity to heal his injuries as well and fill up his depleted stores.

~Huala~

The spirit qi vortex lasted for about five minutes before dissipating. Lin Wu's avatar had been growing during this entire time and had now become fifty meters long. This was something that confused him again, as it was smaller than his main body.

"Now why is this happening?" Lin Wu wondered.

He had expected it to be the same as his main body, which was over a hundred meters long, but his avatar had only reached the half of that for some reason.

~Ding~

----

ANSWER: The host's avatar does not have the unknown bloodline and thus will not have the same level of growth. Even the Unity Avatar Technique cannot overcome the limitation of a bloodline and thus the size of the body will be dependent on the bloodline that the host already has.

----

Seeing the answer of the system, Lin Wu almost facepalmed.

"Is my mental damage returning? How the hell am I missing things like these?"
