Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Jiao Fan who had been made to snap out of his thoughts, looked at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle who was now letting out strong spirit Qi waves. Her aura started to rise by the second and a red glow appeared around her body.

~PIIIIIII~

A sharp cry was let out by her that was a bit different from her original cry. This one seemed to be a bit more melodic, yet there was a hidden power contained within it. But this was merely the start.

Jiao Fan's eyes went wide as he saw new feathers growing on the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's body. The vermilion feathers that she had on her body started to increase in number and soon over half of her body was covered in them.

Now her body was half yellow and half Vermillion. Her silver beak had also taken on a slightly copper colored sheen on the tip while her eyes glimmered in a red hue. Her claws did the same and they also started to change in shape.

They became a bit more bigger and the scaly surface of them changed to become maroon rather than the brown before. If one looked at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle right now, they would see that the mid part of her body was vermilion in color while the head and bottom part was still yellow.

Her wings were also vermilion about three fourths of the way and the tips were the only part that were yellow now. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle overall size also started to increase and it kept on increasing for about five minutes.

By the end of it, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had increased in height by thirty more centimeters. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was now a massive beast and could be considered to be twice as big as the statue of the Vermilion bird.

"This… how can this be?" Jiao Fan muttered upon seeing the entire transformation.

"How can a beast withstand a powerful bloodline that is foreign to it?" Jiao Fan couldn't help but question.

"Hah," Lin Wu chuckled and felt like blowing the man's mind a bit more. 

"What if that's not a foreign bloodline at all?" Lin Wu hinted lightly.

Jiao Fan could hear his words clearly and so did Old Man Tiandi. They thought over his words and looked at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. Their eyes inadvertently went to the statue of the vermilion bird at the end and they saw a few similarities.

The more they thought, the more they were able to match. 

~gasp~

About a minute later, Jiao Fan Gasped with shock.

"It…it… it's that beast's bloodline? The bloodline crystal… this beast already had that bloodline?!" Jiao Fan spoke, his voice getting louder at the end.

To him, this was the most shocking revelation till now. Jiao Fan was not as shocked even when he guessed that Lin Wu might be a mechanical puppet, but now he had reached a new level.

His mouth was turned into an 'O' shape as he kept on staring at the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. Her body was still going to transformations, except they were not external now, they were internal.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's eyes were closed as she assimilated the bloodline crystal that she had consumed. Her spirit Qi rippled as more of it was absorbed by her body from the environment.

She was able to forcefully suck the spirit Qi out of the formation arrays of the temple and thus it was a relatively simple task for her. She didn't even need to focus on it as much, and it automatically happened.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was currently feeling a mix of emotions. On one side she was elated due to the entire process of improving her bloodline and on the other hand, she was anxious about the future.

Before, she had a gut feeling that there was something bad that would happen in the future and that was what drove her to get stronger and stronger. And now that she had improved her strength once again, with her bloodline progressing, that feeling or premonition only got stronger.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle wondered if it was her insecurity about her strength that made her feel like that, but since getting stronger did not solve it, she understood there was more to it than just that.

'What is this danger that I feel? And why can't I tell when it will come?' The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle thought.

Old Man Tiandi and Jiao Fan did not dare to move at all during the entire process as they were scared their movement might attract the attention of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle or even her ire.

While Jiao Fan was a bit assured that Lin Wu would not hurt them right away, he could not say the same about the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. They had already seen an example of her strength and demeanor and knew that doing anything that came in her way would only be fatal.

Thus, like two good students in a class, they kept their mouths shut and did not dare to move either. Lin Wu saw both of their reactions and found it to be very funny. 

'This was definitely worth it! HAHA!' Lin Wu internally laughed.

~Huala~

A strong spirit Qi wave that was stronger than any other wave the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had let out till now came and shook Lin Wu and the others. 

"She… Broke through?" Lin Wu said in an incredulous voice.

Jiao Fan heard his voice but could not tell what Lin Wu meant due to it sounding like that of a beast. The system would sonly translated his voice to sound understandable when Lin Wu consciously did it. Otherwise, what others would hear is just his beastly cries.

"System, do a new scan of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle right now!" Lin Wu ordered.
