Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The Supreme elder couldn't believe his eyes upon seeing his Dao Shell crack.

"No! NO! NOOO!!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!" the man shouted madly.

Unfortunately for him, no matter how much he wanted to deny it there was no way he could change his fate now.

~KACHA~

The blade didn't stop there and continued breaking apart the Dao Shell. By the time it was half way through, the integrity of the Dao Shell was fully compromised.

<strong>~SHATTER~</strong>

Then finally, it happened…

~SPLAT~

The Supreme elder spat out a massive amount of blood and felt the spirit Qi within his body leaking out. His control over his cultivation base started to fall and he knew that he didn't have long now.

"You… you did this… you destroyed my sect… killed my son… crippled me…" The Supreme elder said unwillingly.

"Yep." Lin Wu replied.

He couldn't care less about a man that was already half dead. If it were not for the vitality of a Dao Treading realm cultivator he would have long since died. Just the poison alone should have been enough to kill him several times over.

Though it was also important data for the system since it could analyze and learn from this. It would further improve when its results in the future when it derived new things. And the improvement in the techniques would also be a benefit.

But at this time a surge of madness took over the Supreme elder.

"I'LL KILL YOU ALONG WITH MYSELF!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!" The old man laughed crazily.

The Dao embryo that was now left bare open in the air started to tremble and a vast energy surged out of it.

All others that were watching it were terrified at this scene and knew what the Supreme elder was attempting to do.

"NO!" The twin lights liger king shouted. "Stop him!"

Tim didn't know much and simply drooled seeing the Dao Embryo. As soon as the Dao Embryo was not protected by the Dao Shell, Tim felt a tantalizing aroma coming from it.

"Tasty Ice…" Tim muttered as he drooled.

The Dao Embryo was quite literally a icicle so his word's weren't really wrong..

~CRUNCH~

But the enchanted look in Tim quickly disappeared as he saw a scene that broke his heard.

"NO!!!! MY POPSICLE!" Tim yelled with surprising vocabulary.

The Supreme elder too was stunned as he saw the absurd scene in front of him.

"Oof! Too cold. Brain freeze!" Lin Wu said as he rubbed his head.

"Y-you… Y-you… YOU ATE MY DAO EMBRYO!?" The Supreme elder said and felt his head spinning.

~whoosh~

.

.

.

.

~thud~

Soon after saying that, his body swayed and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Aannnnnd… he's dead." Lin Wu said as he felt the last signs of life fizzling out of the Supreme elder's body.

Even his Nascent soul directly dissipated due to the massive amount of damage it had sustained along with the multiple backlashes the old man ended up enduring. He didn't even get to escape with his Nascent soul as Lin Wu had taken away that chance at the very start.

Even if a beast or a cultivator died and they tried escaping using their Nascent soul, they would end up dying to the ambient radiation that was spread around by Lin Wu. It was an additional safe guard to prevent any enemy from escaping.

While it would end up causing him a loss of spirit Qi since he wouldn't get to eat the Nascent soul, it was still the better choice than letting an enemy survive and take revenge later on in the future.

~Phew~

"That was way more stressful than I thought…" Lin Wu took a breath of relief.

He was truly tired right now. Not just mentally but also physically due to the sheer amount of spirit Qi he had used up in his attacks. Even if he had broken though very recently and should have had a large amount of spirit Qi stores, the skills he had used one after the others were no joke.

Just the skill that Lin Mu had used from the Immortal Sky Shaker Art, the Obliterating Tempest was enough to consume a quarter of Lin Wu's spirit Qi at once. It was a skill that could not be used easily and was one of the highest ranking skills among the Immortal Sky Shaker art.

It was a skill that even Shirong couldn't use even if his proficiency with the Immortal Sky Shaker art was higher than Lin Wu. Rather in this case it wasn't a matter of quality but rather sheer quantity.

Even for an average Dao Treading Realm cultivator the Immortal Sky Shaker Art: Obliterating Tempest would be no less than a full power attack of theirs.

Lin Wu's spirit Qi stores were massive right now and could easily exceeded those of Dao Treading realm experts at this point. Though he had yet to get a proper measure for that. The sample size that the system and Lin Wu had for that was very small after all.

The only two proper scans that Lin Wu had managed to gets in all this time was from the Supreme elder right now and Zhu Tianying when she had broken through. Zhu Tianying was an outlier and had a massive capacity due to her bloodline thus Lin Wu couldn't really take her as an example.

Thus in a way the Supreme elder was the first proper subject at the Dao Treading Realm he's had till now.

The Twin Lights Liger struggled to stand up and walked towards the corpse of the Supreme elder. He still felt doubtful and checked the old man himself, ensuring that he was dead.

~phew~

"Heavens… he's finally dead." The Twin Lights Liger King took a breath of relief.

~KIII~

~thud~

But just as he finished speaking he felt a strong force hitting him.

"GODDAMMIT! I'm still injured for heavens sake!" The Twin Lights Liger King yelled as he was sent flying by Tim's careless tackle.

"HEYY!!!" Lin Wu shouted seeing what Tim was about to do.

His tail swiped down and swatted Tim away.

~PEWWWWWW~

Tim soared away in the sky, but there was a smile on his face as his eyes curled up in a smile too.

"FUCK! HE STILL GOT IT!" Lin Wu saw the leg in Tim's jaws.

He looked back at the dead body of the Supreme elder and saw the missing leg. Tim had successfully managed to bite away a leg before Lin Wu could do anything.

~THUD~

Tim's body collided with an invisible barrier and made it flicker under the force.

~SKREEET~

His spiky body scraped down the side of the barrier before finally falling back down. But Tim didn't care for anything and simply finished the leg in his mouth.

"Delish…" Tim said one last time before closing his eyes and passing out.

"And there he goes sleeping again…" Lin Wu shook his head.

Even if Tim had only eaten a single leg of the Supreme elder, it was still the leg of a Dao Treading realm cultivator. The weasel beast had only had a Dao Shell realm beast as the highest cultivation base food before and thus this was a little overwhelming for him.

Though Lin Wu was sure that the beast would be up and running soon enough.

'His metabolism will adapt and boost his cultivation pretty fast.' Lin Wu knew for sure.

~Sigh~

Lin Wu could only sigh to himself and let it go.

"He did work pretty well this time though. I would have given him some part if he waited a bit more anyway." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Tim did deserve the leg according to Lin Wu since it was Tim who had managed to hold back the Supreme elder for all this time along with the Twin Lights liger king. If not for the two of them holding back, Lin Wu would have been unable to breakthrough and all would haw been for naught.

Lin Wu looked at the injured Twin Lights Liger King before extending his tail.

~slick~

"HEY! AT LEAST WARN ME BEFORE STABBING ME!" The Twin Lights Liger King said, tears almost appearing in his eyes.

"I'm just healing you. Like I promised." Lin Wu said.

"Alright, alright…" The Twin Lights Liger King replied helplessly.

"System, get him healed." Lin Wu spoke..

~DING~

SCANNING: Target selected

SCAN COMPLETED: Injuries identified

WARNING: Unknown ice energy detected in target's body

INJECTING VITAL ESSENCE: 624,643 Units

VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 37,124,643 Units -> 36,500,000 units

Lin Wu watched the new window that had just appeared. It showed the blockages in the Twin Lights Liger King's body and also the injuries that it had sustained. With the continuous injection of Vital essence, the system started to guide the beast's natural healing to recover and regenerate the body.

The Vital Essence that Lin Wu had was rather pure and thus it would be no less than a top grade healing pill for most people. Additionally it would have no problems such as pill toxins and could be directly used by the body.

Lin Wu didn't really use his Vital essence for others since it felt the same as draining his own life to heal others to him. It wasn't really a pleasant feeling to him. He wouldn't really use it unless it was really important to him.

~DING~

——

NOTIFICATION: Healing completed

Note: the target will need to rest for about a month to recover the remaining injuries naturally.

——

"That's good enough." Lin Wu said before taking a look at the Twin Lights Liger who had fallen asleep too.

~Sigh~

"Looks like I'm gonna have to carry them home this time."
