Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu had been observing the four survivors in the inner hall of the temple and chuckling at their actions. 

"Just by being unable to use spirit Qi they fall to this level, haha~" Lin Wu couldn't help but laugh.

He saw that they got tired after a point and just decided to rest. This was probably one of the better choices they had made in the past few hours. Though Lin Wu felt that it was a bit of a pity, as he wanted to see them struggle a bit more.

But the one thing he failed to realize was that a certain someone had woken up.

"What are you doing?" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle Questioned. 

Lin Wu who had been laughing suddenly stopped and turned his head.

"Oh! You woke up." Lin Wu spoke.

"Yes, but what are you doing? Where is the stone feather?" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle asked as she narrowed her eyes.

"Umm… it's still inside the temple." Lin Wu replied.

"In the temple? Why have you not gotten it yet?" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle questioned, her voice getting a bit colder.

"Well, we know that there are traps in this temple, so I let the humans deal with them. Once they get the stone feather, I'll just take it from them and make our work easy." Lin Wu explained.

"Humph! What traps, why do we even need to wait this long?! Leave it, I'll just do it myself!" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said before spreading her wings.

~PIIIIIII~

She let out a loud cry that echoed across the skies. The people who had been watching everything were shocked and some of them directly fell due to the sudden sound. They saw that the beast who had been asleep since the start had suddenly woken up.

"The bird beast! It's gonna attack RUN!!!" The people soon broke into hysteria.

Lin Wu ignored them and instead pitied the four Nascent Soul realm cultivators who were inside the temple. They had not heard the cry of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle due to the door being closed, but they would soon be getting surprised.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle flapped her wings and got down from the platform, since the temple was below it. Her Vermillion feathers started to glow as flames appeared around her body.

~Piiii~

She let out another cry before shooting out flames at the temple.

~BOOM~

A loud explosion occurred as everything turned blinding white for a second and when that finally faded away, smoke had filled the area. The people who were still watching were stunned and some of them were directly knocked back because of the shock wave made from the explosion.

The spirit Qi pressure exuding from the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was also too much for most cultivators here to bear. Those in the Qi refining realm directly fell to the ground, coughing out blood while those in the core condensation realm were knocked back.

The woman who Lin Mu had noticed to be spying showed a shocked look. She was the only other nascent Soul realm cultivator currently left in the ruins city except for a few independent nascent soul realm cultivators that had chosen to stay out of the fight.

They all felt the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and also felt the oppressive aura.

"D-Dao Shell Realm… it truly is a Dao Shel realm beast and not just that it is definitely not just in the Shell Initiation stage and is probably higher." The Woman spoke in disbelief. 

Alarm bells rang in her mind and her heart urged her to escape at that very moment. But then the orders of her mistress reappeared in her mind and she forcibly stopped her body from running away.

"I can't run now, after spending so much time here. I need to see what happens!" The woman said to herself.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had a fierce look in her eyes as she gazed at the temple. To her, the temple was nothing, but a construct made by humans to stop her. Thus, she picked the easiest method of entering it, which was nothing but to directly destroy it.

What formations? what traps? What danger? In front of absolute strength, they were all nothing.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle flapped her wing and the wind blew away all the smoke that was there. Finally, the view of the temple became clear and one could see that the front of the temple was now gone, completely obliterated.

The staircase that went down to the outer hall was fully visible to everyone and had been expanded wide enough that the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle could enter it now. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle thus strutted forward and jumped to enter the temple.

"The-the beast is incredibly strong! It destroyed the formations that the Nascent Soul realm cultivators were unable to do." The Woman who had been observing it exclaimed.

The fear in her heart only deepened upon seeing all this. It was actually not her first time seeing someone in the Dao Shell realm. She had seen a couple of Cultivators who were at the Dao Shell realm and had seen their might.

But this beast… it was different. Its aura was far more suppressive than anything she had seen and a certain level of majesty also exuded from it.

Lin Wu who had been watching it all, simply sighed in response.

~Sigh~

"And I thought I would get to see a bit more entertainment…" He muttered to himself before getting down there himself.

Lin Wu knew that his time for slacking was over and if he did not join the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle she might just get really displeased with him. But while the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had done this, the four men inside had a rude awakening.

"What the hell is happening?! What was that explosion?" Old Man Tiandi said.
