Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

It had been about ten minutes since Wang Xiong had started his breakthrough and he had already taken three bolts of tribulation lightning by now. Looking at his current condition one could not even tell if he was really undergoing a tribulation or not.

Usually, cultivators who had their Heavenly tribulations at the nascent soul realm would be very haggard and tired looking after taking the hits of the tribulation lightning bolts. But for Wang Xiong who was clad in the emerald green crystal armor, he seemed to be casually floating in the air with no shouts or grunts of pain being released.

For everyone here, this was an eye opening revelation. They never expected something like this was even possible or not. The elders and the two core disciples couldn't help but remember the day when they went through the heavenly tribulation.

'How much did we suffer that day? And this guy is taking it all as if he's in a warm shower enjoying it…' They all thought.

~Rumble~

But this was just the start. The real tribulation was about to begin. After all, Lin Wu was the one assisting Wang Xiong so there was no way the tribulation would be a normal one. The triangulation clouds soon changed into a dual layered tribulation and the lightning bolts underwent a qualitative change.

"Du-Dual layered Heavenly tribulation!" The elder called out.

"He's a genius! Wang Xiong is a genius! How did the sect never find out about him till now?" Another elder couldn't help but comment and felt a little pity.

Now that Wang Xiong had openly opposed the sect and even put the disciples in danger like this, it was likely that he was going to be considered a criminal from now on.

~Rumble~

~Boom~

The tribulation lightning bolt finally formed and struck Wang Xiong after being attenuated by Lin Wu. Still… unlike before, he actually felt a bit of pain from it, as Lin Wu couldn't fully suppress something like that.

He had wondered what the reason behind could be and reckoned that the transparent part of the lightning when he saw it using the radiation perception was the cause. It was something that was beyond the understanding of the system and Lin Wu as well.

That unknown factor could be the only thing causing a problem like this. Still, it was fine since Lin Wu merely had to split it into two, with one of them going directly to Wang Xiong after processing and the other one taken up by Lin Wu himself.

"You all just wait, you'll get the taste of this 'rare' lightning too… hehehe." Lin Wu chuckled as he shrugged off the pain from the lightning bolt.

This bolt was enough to crack Wang Xiong's core by seventy percent and the next one would probably be enough for him to completely shatter the core. Lin Wu watched the sky aptly and the moment the next tribulation bolt left the clouds, he acted.

~boom~

The bolt hit the armor clad Wang Xiong, making it light up in an eerie green glow. For a moment there, everyone who was observing him couldn't help but feel a terrifying presence. But it only lasted for a fragment of a second before disappearing.

~Crack~

A crack that was inaudible to others was heard inside Wang Xiong, as his core was now finally covered in cracks fully.

~shua~

A blinding light came from the cracks of the core, and the birth of his Nascent Soul started.

"Action time…" Lin Wu said as he looked at the two core disciples and the tribulation clouds.

The two core disciples felt a gaze trained on them, which sent shivers down their spine.

"Senior brother, I don't feel so good…" One of the core disciples said before an explosion was heard.

~KABOOM~

The head of the core disciple suddenly exploded as a tribulation lightning bolt hit his head. A wave of terror spread throughout the entire area as the people watched on in sorry. The elders couldn't believe their eyes and some disciples directly pissed their pants.

"LOOK!" Someone shouted, "Wang Xiong is pointing at the core disciples."

Everyone looked and saw that Wang Xiong's right hand was extended with his index finger pointed at the now dead core disciple. Faint sparks of electricity could also be seen coursing around the armor.

This was actually not Wang Xiong intentionally pointing at the core disciples, but rather Lin Wu controlling his hand by moving his body. Wang Xiong himself was deep in comprehending the extreme yang of the tribulation lightning and had no idea this was happening.

Lin Wu then controlled Wang Xiong's hand to point it at the Niu San who had now gained consciousness. The man was lying on the ground with his back to the seating area and could barely keep his eyes open.

Unlike others, he had seen what had happened before clearly. Wang Xiong had extended his finger to the first core disciple and then the tribulation lightning bolt that had hit him was sent to the core disciple.

"No!… NO!…NOOO!" Niu San screamed in fear.

~Rumble~

While Wang Xiong had already taken enough lightning bolts to completely crack his core, the tribulation had not yet ended. The extra punishment due to Lin Wu being here was still left after all.

~Boom~

The bolt fell on Wang Xiong's head and coursing through the entire armor before being shot out through his finger.

~splat~

This time the lightning bolt hit the chest of Niu San, directly reducing it to mush. His ribs, lungs and heart were all minced together while his head hung back, barely handing by a few pieces of flesh from his neck. His tongue fell out from his mouth, half bitten, and his eyeballs popped due to being boiled.

"MURDER! MURDERER!" The crowd started shouting, finally realizing that Wang Xiong was intentionally doing this.

~gulp~

The elders couldn't help but swallow their saliva after seeing this. Unlike the other disciples, they knew what kind of a feat Wang Xiong had just shown.

"What kind of a monster did Niu San offend…" The elders couldn't help but say
