Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle left the temple after that to look for the other ones. Since he had gotten the information that there would be six more of them rising up, they must hurry.

The two beasts flew up in the sky before going towards the next location where the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle felt like she sensed the bloodline. It took them about forty minutes before they reached the next temple.

It was already close to the ground and its tip could already be seen coming out of the ground. 

"That makes it easier for us…" Lin Wu said as he quickly moved the soil around the temple and unlocked the trapdoor.

As soon as he opened the door though...

~KIIIIIII~

The screeching cry of the specter skull hound could be heard coming from inside.

"Ah, looks like we woke up the doggy," Lin Wu chuckled. "Time to make it go to sleep again." 

~Zoom~

Lin Wu then moved at a blinding speed as he rushed to the Specter Skull hound. By now he knew the easiest way to get rid of the specter skull hound was to rush them and break their heads.

"There you are…" Lin Wu said upon spotting the specter skull hound that was coming towards him.

Lin Wu used his innate skill and changed the shape of his tail before flipping in mid air.

"BONK!" 

Lin Wu's tail, which now looked like a baseball bat, hit the specter skull hound square in the center of its head which cracked like a porcelain bowl. Dark blood spewed out from the cracks as the beast let out a painful howl.

"BONK!… go to sleep!" Lin Wu hit the beast again, but this time he had enlarged the 'baseball bat' by several times.

The specter skull hound had no chance of survival and was reduced into a dark paste under the weight of Lin Wu. Its body soon started to sublimate and disappeared into smoke. 

~boom~

The sound of an explosion was heard right after this as Lin Wu turned around.

"ARGH!"

"HELP ME!!!"

"ITS THAT BEAST!!!" 

Cries could be heard coming from the outside of the temple and Lin Wu understood who they belonged to.

"Ah, they're already here. Better hurry up so I can enjoy the extra snacks." Lin Wu said as he picked up the crystal from the beak of the vermilion bird's statue.

He also noted the fact that the statue here was in the same looking up pose, but the angle in which it was looking had changed. Instead of looking to the right diagonally, it now looked straight at it.

"Hmm… interesting." Lin Wu muttered before leaving the temple to see what had happened outside.

There he could see the scattered corpses of around six followers of the Skull god along with the flames that burned around.

"Looks like you go company before me," Lin Wu joked before wiping away the rest of the followers of the Skull god.

It was evident that they were here for the bloodline crystal, and thus he did not want to waste any extra energy in talking to them. Gobbling up the few corpses that had been killed, Lin Wu rejoiced internally.

~Ding~

——

SPIRIT QI OBTAINED: 12,984 units [liquid spirit Qi]

AVATAR CULTIVATION BASE: Infant stage of the Nascent Soul realm

  -Spirit Qi required to upgrade = [1,067,887/1,500,000] units (liquid spirit qi)

——

With the rate he was obtaining spirit qi he would have soon gained enough spirit Qi to break through to the child stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He never expected that his avatar would reach this point before his own main body.

  Even though the main body was quite close to that as well and if Lin Wu rushed it, he may be able to catch up rather quickly. He did a quick look at the main body's status and saw that it would need more time to reach the needed requirements.

"Here, catch!" Lin Wu said as he threw the bloodline crystal to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.

~gulp~

~whoosh~

The vermilion feathers grew in number again and finally reached the back of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. She cooed in pleasure and closed her eyes to enjoy the feeling. This was the first time Lin Wu found her acting like this and found it to be a bit funny.

~RUMBLE~

But just as the two beasts were done with the temple, strong tremors could be felt in the ground.

"Ah, seems like we were slightly late. The other temples should have already risen up to the ground." Lin Wu said.

~PIIIIII~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle suddenly let out a loud cry as her eyes glowed in red.

"I can feel it!! So many!!! So many crystals!!!" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said in excitement.

It was evident that the stimulation from sensing so many bloodline crystals was a bit too much for the beast. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle didn't even say a word more before flying towards the nearest temple.

"Wait for me…!" Lin Wu didn't even have a chance to speak when he heard a sonic boom, that knocked him back.

~BOOM~

This was caused by the flap of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's wings at full force and uprooted trees in a radius of two hundred meters. The temple that had just been unearthed was instantly covered with the soil.

By the time Lin Wu got to the next temple he saw that its top was already destroyed and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had entered the temple.

~Piiii~

Another cry was heard, along with a muffled screech.

~Crack~

Lin Wu entered the temple and saw the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle with its foot on top of the specter skull hound as she plucked the bloodline crystal from the beak of the statue. This time she didn't even take her time to enjoy the crystal after eating it and just flew to the next one.
