Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

More than a year had passed since the tragedy of the Cang Lan sect.

On the side of a mountain range, a battle was currently underway.

"Don't let them run!"

"Kill them all!"

"In the name of the Shadow Lord!"

Several Nascent soul experts dressed in black robes were fighting against what looked like a kingdom's army. There were several Nascent soul realm cultivators in the army too, but their numbers couldn't compare to those dressed in black robes.

"Dammit! The bastards of the Shadow Legion are too much!" One of the Nascent soul realm experts of the army cursed.

Tens of their soldiers were being killed at every minutes, and the number showed no sign of falling.

"Fall back! Fall back!" Unable to continue, the commander decided to order a retreat.

But it seemed like his decision had come too late.

~SHING~

Several spirit weapons flew through the hair, targeting the commander.

~DENG~DENG~DENG~

The commander slapped out with his palm, breaking apart the wind and blocking the weapons.

"Shit! They are far too strong…" The commander cursed. "But I won't go down this easily." He fought back, sending out wind palms after wind palms.

"Humph! Do you really think you can go against the Shadow Legion this easily?" one of the experts of the Shadow Legion taunted.

Then in the next moment, he brought forth his palms together, condensing dark green energy within it. This energy looked to be Wind elemental spirit Qi, but there was something else mixed into it.

"That's not good… Yin Winds!" The moment the commander saw the enemy prepare this move, he knew they were leaving no chance for him to survive.

~SHUA~

The Shadow Legion expert shot out the Yin Winds, turning it into a dangerous viper. It rushed towards the commander and left him unable to respond in time.

'I can't…' The commander felt like death was just a moment away.

~BANG~

But just before he could be struck by the Yin Winds, he felt an explosion occur in front of him.

"Ugh!" the explosion send him flying back and the Shadow Legion expert was similarly sent back flying too.

~thud~

Both of them landed in the distance, and quickly tried to recover. In a battlefield like this, even a moment's pause could cause one to die. This was the same for the Commandeer of the army.

"Huh?" But when he opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him, he was left stunned. "He… He blocked it?" The commander couldn't believe his eyes.

In the distance stood a man exuding the spirit Qi waves of a Peak Nascent soul realm cultivator. But that wasn't all, as he also had a weapon in his hand. It wasn't until the commander saw the weapon in the man's hand didn't figure out who it was.

"Armament… A crystal armament bearer!" The commander exclaimed. "It's A Crystal Armament bearer! The kingdom has sent reinforcements!" he proclaimed.

The other soldiers who heard his voice were stunned but soon rejoinder.

"HAHAHA!"

"AHAHAHA! A Crystal Armament Bearer! It really is a Crystal armament bearer!"

The soldiers were really excited to see this.

The man holding the crystal weapon looked at the commander and soldiers, giving them a nod of approval.

"Shadow Legion! You've done enough!" the man spun the crystal armament in his hand.

It was in the shape of a hammer and looked rather heavy. But at the same time, rich energy flowed around it, making it look rather dazzling.

"Curses! A Crystal armament bearer is here." The experts of the Shadow Legion cursed, but didn't falter. "Everyone focus on the crystal armament bearer! Kill him first!" the leader of the Shadow Legion experts ordered.

"YAHHHH!" The Shadow Legion's experts lunged at the hammer wielding man.

Various attacks were thrown, while a myriad of lights flickered. Spirit Qi roused and winds blew.

The battle was tense, but the hammer wielding man seemed to be on top. His hammer could clash with all the Qi skills and still be fine. But for those that used the Qi skills, all they felt was the backlash from it.

No matter what kind of skills they used, all of them were blocked or deflected.

It was hard to imagine that the same group of people who were so easily suppressing the army were now being pushed back.

Five minutes later though, the first mortality was witnessed. "HAAA!"

~SPLAT~

The Hammer wielding man smashed apart the head of a Shadow Legion Expert. One proper strike to the head was all it took for a Nascent soul realm expert to die.

"He did it!" The soldiers felt their morale rising.

They too continued to fight against the weaker shadow Legion members, and were now pushing them back bit by bit.

"Don't let them escape! All of them shall die today!" the commander of the kingdom's army quickly gave out orders.

With that, the Shadow Legion, which was on the winning side all this time, became the loser.

~SPLAT~

~BANG~

~BOOM~

The Crystal Hammer wielder killed four more Shadow Legion experts, not even letting their Nascent souls escape.

"Just a little bit more. They are almost all gone…" The commander muttered.

"ARGH!" but just as he thought that things were turning in their favor, a mishap happened.

The man wielding the hammer was struck by a long bone spear that had appeared out of nowhere.

"What!?" The commander was stunned.

"You…" the hammer wielding man felt his body being weakened.

"You've killed four of our members. Take this as an honor that we'll be dying together." A Shadow Legion member had his arm stabbed into the hammer wielding man's chest.

This arm was what the long bone spear had been formed from.

"EVERYONE GET BACK!" the hammer wielding man shouted.

"Watch out! He's going to explode!" the commander warned.

~KABOOM~

And just as he did that, they saw the Shadow Legion expert blowing himself up. The hammer wielding man's body exploded along with it, leaving behind no other trace than then Crystal hammer.

"He… he's dead…" the soldiers were stunned.
