Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

A month passed in the blink of an eye since Lin Wu's return. 

The Millennium forest was mostly peaceful, but soon there was going to be something that would cause an uproar.

In one of the caves of the Dark Bloom Caverns, a certain beast was on the cusp of a breakthrough.

~Rumble~

Breaths that felt like thunder were heard in the cave. At first, someone would think that it was actual thunder, but it was just the way the Twin Lights Liger King cultivated. He was currently lying on the ground as black and white lights alternated in his eyes.

At the same time, his chest moved and large amounts of spirit Qi were sucked into his body. It was obvious that the amount being absorbed was far greater than normal and couldn't be accomplished easily.

Usually it was the spirit Qi infusion one would experience when they broke through, but in the case of the Twin Lights Liger King, it was different. With each breath that he took, he could feel his bloodline stirring.

He had not felt something like this in a long time and the last time that he did feel like it was when Lin Wu broke through.

Back then, all the beasts had a battle of the bloodlines as they resonated together. It was also the first time that the Twin Lights Liger King had been suppressed in a long time. His first defeat after a long time was due to Lin Wu and the second time was also due to him.

Honestly, he had mixed feeling about it all. On one hand, Lin Wu had taken his throne that he did like somewhat despite the fact that it was what shackled him in the first place and then on the other hand Lin Wu was also the one that freed him.

In the end, the Twin Lights Liger King had become a subordinate under Lin Wu as well, along with having some part of Lin Wu's bloodline within him.

'This bloodline… how can it do something like this?' The Twin Lights Liger King wondered.

His current state was actually caused due to the Emeraldine Legion Bloodline that Lin Wu had given to the Twin Lights Liger King. It was mostly inactive for the Twin Lights Liger King other than the features that allowed him to communicate and sense others.

But now, it was showing something hidden which he didn't know about at all and neither had Lin Wu warned him about it. At first, the Twin Lights Liger King was shooed and nervous about it all, thinking that he might end up harming himself.

After all, mistakes during breakthrough weren't uncommon and the higher one went, the more likely it was that there would be difficulties when breaking through. First of all, cultivation was going against the heavens, thus they liked to test all the creatures that did that.

But after an hour or so, the Twin Lights Liger King understood that what was happening was not harmful for him. Rather than that, it was beneficial. The Emeraldine Legion Bloodline had seemingly stimulated his original bloodline and triggered something unknown.

He could feel the hidden power rising from his bloodline and strengthening his entire body.

This increase came in waves and was nerve wracking at the same time. The Twin Lights Liger King had to really focus in order to make the best use of it. 

In his current state, he discovered that spirit Qi was like a moth being attracted to a flame. It willingly rushed towards him, only to be sucked into his body.

In just the past hour, he had gained more spirit Qi than he had gained in the entire past year. It was a stunning discovery and the Twin Lights Liger King didn't know what to exactly think of.

Hence, he did the one thing he could, shut off any unnecessary thoughts and only focus on cultivating.

~HONG~

A humming sound came from his Nascent soul as the bloodline's effect reached its peak.

~ROAR!!!!!~

The Twin Lights Liger King let out an involuntary roar as blinding light shot out from one of his eye while equally blinding darkness shot out of the other. The two were like oil and water, touching and flowing around each other, but not mixing.

~ROAR!!!~

The Twin Lights Liger King's Roar shook the entire cave and echoed within it. It was powerful enough to escape it and spread all around the sky, covering the millennium forest. If the Twin Lights Liger King's breaths were like thunder, then his roar was like a quake.

"WHAT IS THAT?!" Several beasts were startled by the sudden roar.

The stronger ones were surprised, while the weaker ones were downright terrified. 

~SHUA~

A very strong wave of spirit Qi spread across several hundred kilometers, reaching the very edge of the millennium forest and even a little further. The source of it was of course, none other than the Twin Lights Liger King.

~BOOM~

The beast felt a strange urge and directly broke through the roof of the cave, appearing in the sky.

~ROAR!~

He let out a roar as two beams of light shots out from his eyes. In the night sky, they looked like beacons and illuminated it.

"Huh? Why are there lights in the forest?" A few of the humans that were camping near the edge of the millennium forest wondered.

From their attire, one could tell that they were normal warriors and not cultivators. Some among them were very curious about it, but then they were hit by the pressure that accompanied the spirit Qi wave.

~thud~

A few of them directly fell to the ground and their faces turned pale with fear.

"RUN! RUNNNNNN!!!" They shouted and ran with all their might.

Back at the forest, a vortex of spirit Qi formed around the Twin Lights Liger King and his pace of absorbing it increased, until finally it happened.

His nascent soul jumped out of his dantian and appeared above his head.. Then along the side of the Nascent soul appeared an illusory figure of a sphere.
