Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

When Wang Xiong had heard Lin Wu's plan, he had thought that it was not something that could be possible. It was so absurd, according to all he had learned till now, that he had a hard time believing it.

But he finally did believe it because it was his senior speaking it. He had personally seen the Taiji Celestials tomb and the murals in it. He had also taken part in the trials and knew to make something like that would be incredibly difficult if not impossible for anyone in this world.

Not to mention the Cultivation inheritance that he had received, which was the biggest proof.

With all these things combined, Wang Xiong just realized that his scope of understanding of this world was much less and he should just do as Lin Wu was instructing him to do.

It was Lin Wu's plan for him to use the communicating jade slip and break it. The jade slip had a part of Lin Wu's power contained in it, which Lin Wu had secretly added without telling Wang Xiong.

Originally it was supposed to be a backup plan in case Wang Xiong went against him or something like that. But now that very thing had come in handy in a different way. Not only that, but it also served as an illusion for Lin Wu to transform into the armor that Wang Xiong was wearing.

Since Lin Wu's body had grown a lot than before, he was now able to form a full sized body armor. Not to mention Wang Xiong was a few sizes larger than Shirong, who was much slender.

In fact, Lin Wu had to levy all his innate skills potential to make an armor like this. The way he did this was to first shrink himself to the smallest form he could and then wrap around Wang Xiong in a very specific manner.

After doing this he altered the joins and his surface such that they looked to be joined without any seams. This way the armor was flexible rather than being rigid due to having multiple smaller parts.

There was another important thing that Lin Wu needed to add to it though, and it was the ability to fly. His weight was far too much, such that Wang Xiong would have been crushed under it if not immobilize.

Thus to address this problem, Lin Wu was counteracting his weight with his ability to fly. He made his body levitate just lightly, such that it was unnoticeable. But this was only when Wang Xiong was on the ground when he was in the air, Lin Wu didn't need to do anything like that and he could just let Wang Xiong fly within him.

Lin Wu had totally ripped off this idea from one of the comic book superheroes from his past life.

There were multiple parts to Lin Wu's plan. His first phase was to let Wang Xiong defeat Niu San and then wait for his companions to act. Then once they did that, Lin Wu would wait for them to show their true colors and let Wang Xiong show his stance.

With that being done came the third phase, which could either make or break the situation. He called this the domination phase, and Wang Xiong was supposed to show his supremacy over the others.

But how would he be able to do this if he had a lower cultivation base than his opponents?

Thus Lin Wu thought what better method than to make Wang Xiong breakthrough in front of everyone. Not only would he be breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, he would also be doing so in an absolutely domineering way.

Lin Wu already had three experiences with heavenly tribulations, which was a lot more than anyone here. Not only that, but he was now able to properly manipulate the lightning, thus he knew even with him being here the extra punishment brought by the heavenly tribulation would be controllable.

The people who had been watching everything suddenly felt the spirit Qi in the area stir. It was as if a magnet had been placed in front of them and all the spirit Qi was being attracted to it. This magnet being none other than Wang Xiong himself.

"Relax your control over your Dantian and let your meridians flow freely. The armor will do the rest for you." Lin Wu spoke to Wang Xiong's mind.

"As you command senior." Wang Xiong said faithfully.

He could sense the spirit Qi in the area forming into a vortex and then pouring into the armor. Then from the armor, the spirit Qi would transfer into him directly through the specific acupoints on his body.

~shua~

Wang Xiong's body floated up even higher in the air as the spirit Qi started to become even dense, now looking like a cloud of mist.

"What in the world…." The elders couldn't help but say.

~Weeng~

More spirit Qi joined the fray and formed a curtain around the previous vortex. This spirit Qi was not normal though, it was wind attribute spirit Qi and if anyone tried to come close to it, they would be cut by it.

Even the two core disciples who were wanting to fight Wang Xiong were now a bit apprehensive.

"What do we do, senior brother?" one of the core disciples asked the one who had the command token.

"We have to stop him… whatever he is doing." He answered.

He then gritted his teeth and took a step forward, but with the movement he did, he felt something that sent chills all over his body.

~RUMBLE~

The cracking sound of thunder could be heard echoing across the sky as dark clouds soon appeared over everyone's heads. They couldn't help but look up and saw that the beautiful white clouds of the Frozen Cloud sect were now gone, replacing them were dark and gloomy tribulation clouds.

"He-Heavenly Tribulation clouds… it's a heavenly tribulation!" someone finally shouted.

~Rumble~

Streaks of lightning coursed through the dark clouds, leaking a threatening aura. The people frozen in place and couldn't help but gasp in fear.

~boom~
