Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The humans witnessed a sight that shook their souls: A Heavenly Tribulation!

This was something people of their level would almost never get to see. After all, they were the lowest of the low in terms of status in the cultivation world. Even if they might be above the peasants who had no spirit Qi cultivation, it was still nothing when compared to the orthodox legacies of cultivation sects and kingdoms.

Among them, only one person had ever seen a Heavenly Tribulation and it was the old man who was their leader.

"Why is there a Heavenly Tribulation here? Who would chose to go through it here in the Millennium forest?" a young man that looked to be barely twenty years old asked.

"What makes you think that it's a human? Do you forget what this place is? Did you forget the many beasts that reside here?" His companion scoffed at him.

It was now that the young man understood.

"A beast? A beast is making such a large Heavenly Tribulation?" the Young man said with disbelief.

"That is probably it. The last time I saw a Heavenly Tribulation was in this forest, too. And the one undergoing it was a beast as well." The old man spoke.

"Do we know which beast it was?" someone asked.

"Who knows… there have been rumors that several Nascent soul beasts have popped up in the Millennium forest in the past decade. The number only increasing more and more." The old man replied.

"What?! Why aren't the people of the kingdom doing anything? I thought there were only five rulers in the Millennium forest." A woman asked.

"Do you think they don't know this? They knew this way before we did. As for why they don't want to act… do you really think even the entire power of the Ling Kingdom can go against the Millennium forest now?" The old man replied.

Hearing this the companions of the old man felt a bit lost. To them, the Ling Kingdom's power was great. Greater than what they could ever experience. Thus they didn't think that the forest located in it would be powerful than themselves.

~BOOM~

But their confusion was only starting to get deeper.

~BOOM~

More and more Bolts of Tribulation lightning started to fall from the skies.

"Huh? Why are there so many at once?" The old man was confused too.

"Doesn't this mean whatever beast is undergoing the tribulation is very talented and powerful?" One of the cultivators who was a bit more knowledgeable, asked.

"No… that's not right… even if there can be multiple tribulation lightning bolts during a tribulation… they won't come all at once like this." The old man said as his expression turned pale.

A dangerous thought came to his mind that made him feel chilly.

~gulp~

He swallowed his saliva as he looked at the tens of Lightning bolts that fell one after the other.

It looked like it was raining Thunder and Lightning now.

"No… No… NO! It can't be… HEAVENS! IT'S NOT ONE BEAST ITS MULTIPLE BEASTS!" The old man couldn't hold back anymore.

~BOOM~ BOOM~ ~BOOM~

Thunder echoed non-stop, assaulting the ears of all while Lightning descended like the heavens were angered.

~thud~thud~thud~

The humans couldn't help but collapse to the ground at the terrifying sight. Their scalp almost ached from the sounds and sight of the tribulation. Heavenly tribulation was something that was sourced from the very heavens and thus could have profound effects on all cultivators.

The ones that were weaker would only feel them to be oppressive. This was especially so for those that were in the Qi refining realm. If it was the average heavenly tribulation, they would only feel unconformable in its presence.

But with the tens of tribulation bolts falling at the same time, it was simply devastating to their minds.

Their spirit Qi felt like it would tear out through their body and they had to do their very best to control it. Even if this wasn't their Heavenly Tribulation, they felt like they were undergoing their own personal tribulation in their body.

The old man was the one with the highest cultivation base among them and could still somewhat hold on. He was the only one who was witnessing everything in detail. The others could only sit on the ground and try to not pass out.

'Do the heavens really want us to suffer today?' The old man couldn't help but think.

He recalled the stories he had heard when he was a child. Everyone was told stories about the vicious beasts that resided in the Millennium forest and how terrifying they could be. Each Nascent soul realm beast would be qualified to become the ruler of the forest.

Their numbers would indicate the power of the forest and the weakness of the humans. The greater it got, the weaker the human race would be. But seeing the numbers increase so quickly all at once was a blow that the old man had never expected.

'I need to tell the mayor! This needs to be informed to the royal court!' the old man thought.

He had family in the Deer Wood city that he cared for and the growth in power of the Millennium forest only meant greater danger for them. There was also a chance for beast tide that would be more powerful than ever.

He had already seen an example today, and didn't want to imagine one that would be lead by Nascent soul realm beasts.

What the poor old didn't know was that his fears were all wrong. After all, it wasn't beasts having a breakthrough… it was humans.

Back at the sixth ring, Lin Wu's crimson eyes stared at the dark clouds above.

~Boom~ Boom~ boom~

Lightning fell from the skies and went towards the many Frozen Cloud disciples that were sitting around. But just before it was about to strike them, it would split apart and a part of it would strike somewhere else.

"Humph! Such Lightning can't do much when I'm here." Lin Wu said proudly.
