Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Time passed and another month had gone by.

In this time, Shirong had swiftly covered the rest of the Sky Bright Daoist's Trials and had passed them successfully. He was going to enter the trials of the Taiji Celestial, but Lin Wu stopped him for now as he was going to get the bloodline of the Thunder Pool serpent awakened for him.

Thus Shirong had been waiting or the past week for that.

For this, Lin Wu had also gotten the beasts ready. First, he picked out three beasts that were closest to the breakthrough and gave them some extra resources. He even mutated them and they all survived, thus giving them a further boost in their cultivation speed.

And finally, today was the day that they were going to breakthrough.

"Seems like everything is on point," Lin Wu said as he checked the sky.

He could already see the dark clouds spreading in the sky and an oppressive aura of the tribulation gathering.

"System, show me the beasts' data." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

New Servant Beasts:

1. Emeraldine Pulse Cicada

Cultivation base: Pseudo Nascent soul realm

2. Emeraldine Barren Tail Wolf

Cultivation base: Pseudo Nascent soul realm

3. Emeraldine Winged Swan

Cultivation base: Pseudo Nascent soul realm

——

These three were the beasts that Lin Wu had picked and found to be worth nurturing.

The Throw pulse cicada had good performance in the past mission and Lin Wu found his actions with humans to be decent. He had mutated into the Emeraldine Pulse Cicada and thus he was a good pick for it . Lin Wu was intending the beast to be one of the beasts that will be assisting Kai Li with the transport of goods.

The Hook Winged Swan was a beast that was the kin of Lin Wu's earlier servants. This would be his second Hook Winged Swan servant and Lin Wu had taken the beast in since it had been helped on by the first Hook Winged Swan.

One could even say this might be the first time nepotism was being used in the Millennium Forest Kingdom.

The Emeraldine Barren Tail Wolf on the other hand had come independently. Or rather, the beast had actually earned this position after fighting in the tournament the beasts regularly held.

It was originally just Barren Tail Wolf. It was a beast that basically a wolf, but had a hairless tail that looked quite like that of a rat. After mutation, its tail had turned into a crystal tail and thus Lin Wu had given it a name as well.

The three beasts were all waiting near the Tomb.

Lin Wu was waiting as well and wanted to see who would be the first one to trigger the tribulation. He knew that they likely won't be breaking though all at once. But that was what Lin Wu wanted.

After all, he didn't just want the breakthrough for them but also for Shirong. Thus the more of them broke though at once, the greater the amount of tribulation lightning would appear.

Then Lin Wu would be able to use that to awaken Shirong's bloodline as well.

Shirong was also waiting in one of the rooms in the tomb and would be summoned with just a thought on Lin Wu's end.

~Rumble~

Soon enough, peal of thunder could be heard in the sky as arcs of lightning flashed by.

"So it is the Emeraldine Pulse Cicada that reached the point first huh… time to get to work then." Lin Wu immediately teleported the beast to the top of the tomb.

~shua~

He appeared there as well and saw the slightly confused beast.

This was the first time the Emeraldine Pulse Cicada had seen the top of the tomb after all. It was also a rather 'holy' place now for the forest and no beast would go there easily. Only the direct servants of Lin Wu had the authority of going there.

But what they didn't know was that the top of the tomb was nothing special or 'holy'. It was simply a place where the tribulation attenuation platform was set up.

If there was any 'holy' place in the tomb, then it would either be the core of its formation array where all the encrypted information was hidden or the place where the unknown being which served as the power source of the tomb was sealed.

"My King!" The Emeraldine Pulse Cicada greeted seeing Lin Wu appear.

"Just wait there. I'll guide you and the others." Lin Wu plainly spoke.

"I shall take your lead, my king." The beast said and settled down.

Lin Wu noddy his head and looked up at the sky. His radiation perception activated and he could already see the Dao Traces of the tribulation appearing.

"Now to restrain it." Lin Wu muttered and activated his innate skill.

~HONG~

A Shocking aura burst forth from his body and spread all over the tomb and even going past it. The Emeraldine Pulse Cicada was stunned by seeing this and couldn't help but shiver.

'The king is beyond what any beast can think of…' it thought.

Lin Wu opened his eyes while his body glowed in an Emerald green light.

"SUPPRESS!" Lin Wu dramatically shouted.

An invisible wave of energy shot forth from his body and directly reached the clouds.

In that moment, it was as if the world itself had gone silent. The peal of thunder was choked up and couldn't be heard anymore. While the Dark Clouds didn't disappear, the aura of the tribulation was certainly contained.

~huu~

"That was a success… guess one tribulation is easy for me." Lin Wu said, feeling pleased.

He looked at the screens and saw the other two beasts, who were still the same.

"Hmm… time to get Shirong here first. The two beasts can come after that." Lin Wu decided.

~shua~

With a wave of his tail, a teleportation array opened up and a man appeared from it.

Shirong had been cultivating before this and was brought here in the same state.

"Huh?" Utter confusion was present on his face.
