Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Ah, that's a rather nifty trick." Lin Wu said upon seeing where the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle had put the stone feather in.

It kind of reminded him of his part time job working as a cashier at a supermarket. Some of the 'classy' ladies would keep their money in their chests and pull that out to pay for whatever they bought.

It was both traumatic and fascinating to Lin Wu at that time. 

Lin Wu took the stone feather from the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and stored it in his own storage. He now had a lot of spatial storage treasures on him and some of them could even been seen on his body.

The spatial storage rings that had gemstones on them were embedded into his body and could be seen gleaming from time to time. In total, he currently had over a hundred such spatial storage treasures on him and this had allowed him to organize things really well.

If one were to compare it with a computer, if the system's storage was the Hard drive, then Lin Wu was using the spatial storage treasures as folders in them. With the stone feathers put away Lin Wu checked the map, just in case there was anything around them.

"Looks like everything is okay, we can head back to the city." Lin Wu said.

"Okay," The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle replied before flapping her wings and flying up.

Lin Wu entered the ground, which was his turf, and both of the beasts sped back to the city. After arriving there, they went to the platform that was above the temple, to get ready to leave.

Lin Wu paused and looked at the city below and furrowed his brows. A thought appearead in his mind and he turned to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.

"Can you erase this entire place with your flames… just in case? That way even if someone comes they won't be able to tell what exactly happened." Lin Wu spoke.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle didn't even think much before nodding her head. To her this was nothing and if it were not for Lin Wu telling her to hold back previously, she would have already used her flames when she was killing the humans before.

~PIIII~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle let out a loud cry and flapped her wings, that started to glow red. Soon, the embers on her wings turned into vibrant flames that flew out and spread across the city. 

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle started to rise up into the sky as she flapped her wings even more and flew around to spread the flames. The vermilion flames licked the ground clean, reducing everything to ash. What could be burned was burned and what could not was charred.

Even the tough stones of the temple were affected and crumbled down, making an entire wall of the temple that was above the ground disappear. Pools of molten metal could be seen in various parts of the city. These were the metallic objects that were unable to bear the heat of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's flames and melted.

'This is nostalgic…' Lin Wu thought to himself, remembering the scene of the forbidden area of the Millennium forest.

But that area was far more damaged than this. The rocks there had literally melted into lava and made massive pools of them. Even if the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's flames were strange enough to melt a lot of metals, they weren't fully able to melt rocks.

Plus, the flames did not have an explosive impact like the meteor had in the millennium forest back then.

~piiiii~

Once the entire city was scorched by the flames, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle returned to the platform and landed.

"Good work," Lin Wu praised. "Let's get back onto our journey, shall we?" he said before walking towards the platform.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle followed him and the two of them came to stand near the platform. Lin Wu took the fourth stone feather that had the four red veins in it and put it into the groove on the platform with his tail.

~shua~

As soon as he did, all of the stone feathers started to glow and a rumbling sound spread from the temple. The four pillars started to sparkle with arcs of energy that appeared from deep within the ground.

"Huh? What's happening this time?" Lin Wu couldn't help but say upon seeing this.

It was different from the last time and thus he was confused about what was it this time. He watched on as the energy poured into the platform and the formation array started to glow as well.

The barriers appeared around the platform as it started to tremble.

~HONG~

A humming sound could be heard as the platform finally started to rise up. Once the platform left the four support pillars, they started to retreat back into the ground as well. Lin Wu watched on as the Jiao Dian city, which once used to be bustling and lively, continued to burn.

"I wonder what the people who came here to see it would think?" Lin Wu said out loud.

"I don't know… some human things, maybe?" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said, not fully understanding Lin Wu.

Lin Wu didn't mind it though and simply shook his head as he looked towards the horizon. The platform finally reached the height where it traveled at and shot forward at a great speed. Had it not been for the formation arrays, Lin Wu and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle would have been knocked back due to the momentum, if not thrown away.

~WHOOSH~

A tearing sound was heard as the platform soared through the air, its speed only increasing more.

~shua~

~shua~

~shua~

~KABOOM~

Finally, the platform reached a speed that was faster than sound and caused a sonic boom. The clouds below it were split apart as it shot back in the north eastern direction.
