Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The elders were now feeling a bit pressured. The Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape was still fine for them, as he was not as strong as all of them combined. Even the Slim Arm ape king, whom they sensed was at the Adult Soul Stage of the nascent soul realm was fine.

They reckoned that even if they did have to fight with him, with their combined strength, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, they had three Adult Soul Stage Nascent soul realm cultivators among their ranks right now.

But the arrival of a third beast only moved that balance.

~BOOM~

The Nascent soul realm elders barely dodged and stepped back several meters as a beast landed where they were standing.

Flames burned on the ground as a beast towering either of the two beasts before started at them. It was also an ape beast, but had a bony spine that was revealed on top of its back. Flames burned over his eyes and on his burly fists.

Hot steam gushed out of his nostrils as the beast glared at them in anger.

"Another ape beast?"

"Of course it is! They are perhaps the only ones who might have the intellect to make an orchard like this." The elder of the Lily sect surmised.

"What's this Slim Arm ape King? Are you perhaps looking to threaten us with your kin?" The elder of the Luguo Kingdom asked, his voice stern.

"Threaten you? THREATEN YOU!? HOW DARE YOU COME IN OUR TERRITORY AND THINK YOU CAN JUST TAKE WHAT WE OWN!" The Demon Spine Ape King exploded.

A Violent aura exploded from his body, and pushed back the Nascent soul realm elders that were standing a bit closely.

"That's it! We gave you enough chances, time to end this!" The arrogant elder said as he summoned his spirit weapon.

The other sect elders too readied their skills right away and were about to attack.

But then…

~ROAR~

An earth-shaking roar echoed from the distance, startling the elders. Some of their skills were forcibly interrupted as the roar was not just sound, but there was also spirit Qi infused into it.

The expressions of the elders darkened while Minister Ting's expression fell. Cold sweat appeared on his back and forehead as he realized they may have just fucked everything up.

~RUMBLE~

The ground started to shake as well, and soon two bulges appeared near the elders. The elders hurriedly moved as the ground continued to rise up. The more astute among them felt the new presences and spirit Qi fluctuations coming from them as well.

~SHRIEK~

A Large beetle beast appeared and let out a shriek that hurt their ears.

~SQUAWK~

Then a mole beast appeared that looked rather strange, having emerald crystal like claws and fangs. It took let out a threating squeak as its dark black eyes stared at them.

~KWEEEEEEE~

~WHOOSH~

More sounds were heard as the elders felt more auras appareling by the second. They felt the winds suddenly starting to blow and soon saw two bird beasts appearing in the distance.

They came and landed behind them, blocking off their path.

The elders were a bit surprised seeing their appearance as they too had the same emerald colored crystal features in them. Either having feathers, claws, or beaks made out of it.

~RUMBLE~

The ground on their side shook as well as more beasts appeared from it. The first that appeared was a large scorpion beast with two stingers. The second that appeared was another beetle beast, but this one had the emerald crystal like parts in its body too.

~BAM~

The beetle beast slammed its long horn on the ground, making all the elder's tremble. They all floated up into the air, realizing that the ground was no longer safe for them.

But what they didn't realize that this was just the start.

~EEK~EEEK~

More beast cries were heard as monkey beasts appeared next.

"This… all of them are nascent soul realm beasts!" The elders were shocked.

"It really is true! The heavenly tribulations were due to multiple beasts reaching nascent soul realm." One of the elders said.

"No…" An elder from the Pale marble sect spoke.

"These beasts… they are at the Child Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm or above. Even those at the Infant Soul Stage have far stronger Spirit Qi fluctuations than they should if they just broke through." He stated, as a bad feeling rose in his guts.

~ROAR~

The Roar they had heard at the start was heard again as a crushing presence approached from the distance.

~WHOOSH~

It felt like the air itself was being torn with the beast's approach and the spirit Qi in the air became chaotic.

Under the, now fearful eyes of the elders approached the beast they were dreading to see the most, The Twin Lights Liger King.

The Dao Shell realm Beast glanced at the humans with a lofty gaze, as if they were mere bugs to be squashed. His bloody aura forged from many battles of the past had been tempered even more from the massacre at the Frozen Cloud sect.

Eating the Arm of the Dao Treading Realm Supreme Elder of the Frozen Cloud sect had also pushed the Twin Lights Liger King's cultivation base further in the Shell Genesis stage of the Dao Shell realm, making him that much pressuring to the Nascent soul realm elders.

The black and white eyes of the Twin Lights Liger King let off a dizzying force that made the elders loose control of their spirit Qi just like that.

~COUGH~

Some of weaker elders directly coughed out blood from that.

After all, the pressure of a Dao Shell realm expert, whether it be a beast or human was not something weaker being could withstand easily. Especially not when it was being used in an antagonistic way like this.

"How can this be…? Twenty three Nascent Soul realm beasts?" One of the elders muttered in disbelief.

'It was wrong… our information was all wrong. There aren't just five Nascent soul realm beasts in the forest…' another elder realized, much to his dread.
