Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu knew the words of the Beetle beast were pretty close to what he had thought as well. He now had a hunch that the rules of the Millennium forest were probably dependent on the formation array of the Tomb.

It was spread throughout the entire forest and many parts of it were currently broken and in disrepair. But as Lin Wu got stronger, and the system repaired the formation array, things were getting better.

'With the formation array getting repaired, perhaps the restriction might get lifted little by little. There are Already Nascent soul realm beasts more than the earlier limit of five… Dao Shell shouldn't be a problem either later.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

"The beetle beast is right. The restrictions of the forest will be slowly lifted. It won't be long before more Dao Shell realm beasts appear as well." Lin Wu stated.

Hearing the confirmation from Lin Wu, the servant beasts all had serious expressions. They now knew that they would have to strive to be stronger and be the first one that reached the Dao Shell realm after Lin Wu.

Though they also knew that it would probably be someone else that did it first. The Twin Lights Liger King was the very first choice, as his talent and bloodline were strong enough to do it. The only thing stopping him had been the restriction of the forest.

'Though he won't be able to do so if I get rid of him before that.' Lin Wu thought as his eyes glowed lightly.

"Is that all, master? Do you want us to do anything else?" The servant beasts questioned.

"No, that's all. You all can go ahead. And… put some distance between us when I'm breaking through. I don't know if it will have some side effects." Lin Wu answered.

This was something Lin Wu truly did not know and wanted to be safe. There was no heavenly tribulation when he broke through to the core condensation realm, yet the effect cause was strong enough to knock out Shirong and his companions.

This time it was going to be a breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm, thus Lin Wu wanted to be even more prepared.

"We shall take our leave then, master." The servant beasts said before the teleportation formations took them away,

~shua~shua~shua~

With all of them gone, Lin Wu looked around and sighed to himself.

~Sigh~

"Time to get started for it I guess… but before that. System, do I need to separate my bodies for the breakthrough?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: Yes, the host needs to break through with the bodies separately.

——

"Alright… let's get to it then. Though the fused form did feel better than I thought it would." Lin Wu muttered and activated the Unity Avatar technique.

The moment he did, his body started to glow and several grooves appeared along his body. The spread all the way around his body and started to change. Lin Wu's body also coiled up and became like a single mass.

The glow got brighter and brighter until it was harder to see anything and about two minutes later it stopped.

~shua~

Now in place of Lin Wu's fused body, his two bodies could be seen. The main body was larger than the avatar and could be recognized rather easily.

"Ah, this feels a bit uncomfortable… a bit incomplete…" Lin Wu said.

Lin Wu's avatar was currently at the Child Soul Stage of the Nascent soul realm and was thus two stages lower than his main body. Right now though, both of the bodies had enough spirit Qi for them to break through to the Dao shell realm.

Of course, this was not possible as the Avatar needed to be lower than that of the main body.

'I'll upgrade the Avatar's cultivation base all at once later when I'm done with my main body.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

~huu~

Lin Wu took a deep breath and decide to start after sending his avatar to a different hall.

"Alright… let's get to the top." Lin Wu said and teleported to the top of the Tomb.

This was a precaution just in case too much chaos happened.

"System, prepare for the upgrade!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

HOST CULTIVATION: Adult Soul stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

-Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [32,785,158/15,000,000] units (liquid spirit qi)

HOST CULTIVATION BASE: Upgrade initiated

SPIRIT QI CONSUMED: 15,000,000 units (liquid Spirit Qi)

——

~SHUA~

As soon as the order was given, Lin Wu felt a mass of spirit Qi gushing into his meridians. His meridians were like raging rivers and the spirit Qi was the stormy water. It spread all around his body and inundated his cells.

~HONG~

Finally, the spirit Qi reached his Dantian, and it was as if a storm had formed within it. A cyclone formed at the center of the spirit Qi and at the top of the storm were Lin Wu's two Nascent Souls.

Both of the human Nascent souls were calm right now and were sitting with their backs to each other.

~HONG~HONG~HONG~

The storm continued to seethe, and the cyclone spun. Soon, it reached a critical point and the spirit Qi started concentrating on one point.

~HUALA~

A very faint outline started to appear at the bottom of the cyclone. The outline was irregular and was changing shapes every so often. It was like a bubble that was still forming and was unstable.

This state lasted for about an hour and the shape of the outline kept on changing. Soon it started to become more and more condensed and reached a more circular shape.

This circular shape then expanded into three dimensions and became like a sphere. It expanded more and more until it finally reached the shape that was the more normal for a Dao Shell.

~huu~

Lin Wu took a deep breath upon seeing this and knew that the process was close to completing.
