Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The Twin Lights Liger King was having a rapid breakthrough which even he had not expected. 

Like with humans, beasts too needed to consolidate their cultivation base and then determine what kind of a Dao Shell they wanted. By default, the shape was that of a sphere, but both humans and beasts could have different shapes if they wanted to.

But this only happened after a long time as they needed years to decades, just to ponder on the right shape that they wanted. And only after they had done this could they actually channel spirit Qi into the illusory shape to solidify it.

The Twin Lights Liger King though, took no such pause and directly sped his way to the second stage of the Dao Shell realm, which was the Shell genesis stage.

'How can this be possible? Even though I have the confidence of reaching this stage myself, I'm pretty sure it would have taken me at least a decade. But now… my bloodline itself has chosen for me.' The Twin Lights Liger King thought to himself as he focused on absorbing as much spirit Qi as possible.

The Emeraldine Legion bloodline within him was steadily stimulating his original bloodline. This led to it taking control of his body in a way and deciding upon the shape of the Dao Shell automatically.

The Twin Lights Liger King was confused and didn't even know how he would be using this Dao Shell or how he would comprehend the Dao Embryo. With the lack of information, he was a bit anxious, but at the same time, since the bloodline itself was directing all this, he also felt a bit complacent.

It was a complex state of self that only the Twin Lights Liger King could understand right now.

But he also knew something critical: when there was a direct action from one's bloodline, it was in their best interest to not do anything that might interrupt or cause problems.

It could lead to many problems, the least of them being injured and the worst being killed.

Hence the Twin Lights Liger King kept doing what he was and absorbed the spirit Qi. If anything through, he felt that this was rather comfortable as he didn't need to spend any effort on the Dao Shell.

"If only all my breakthroughs were this smooth…" He muttered to himself, a sense of longing present in his voice.

~HONG~

About ten more minutes passed, after which the tornado of spirit Qi finally dissipated in a large ripple. But at the same time, the Dao Shell of the Twin Lights Liger King was now visible.

It looked like a twenty centimeter wide disk that was about an inch in thickness. But from this, less than five percent was solid, and the rest was ethereal, showing that the Twin Lights Liger King had just started on his journey through the Shell Genesis stage of the Dao Shell realm.

Still, it was no less shocking to him and he stared at this Dao Shell.

"Is this really true? Have I truly reached this level?" The Twin Lights Liger King couldn't help but wonder.

If it were not for the spirit Qi fluctuation of the Dao Shell in front of him and the call of his bloodline to withdraw the Dao Shell into his body, the Twin Lights Liger King would have certainly thought that he was either dreaming or was hallucinating.

He wouldn't put him being dead out of the options either as he was often quite close to it when he was still shackled by the tomb.

~HUU~

The Twin Lights Liger King took a deep breath and exerted his control over his Nascent soul and the Dao Shell. The Nascent soul first took its position over the Dao Shell, as if using it like a bed before it flew towards his head and disappeared into it.

"Finally… I've done it!" The Twin Lights Liger King said with excitement.

And in this excitement, the Twin Lights Liger King couldn't help but want to test out his strength. He thus very carefully picked one of the more desolate areas with little to no life and shot out an attack.

It was a simple claw swipe, but it was still enough to create long ravines on the ground.

'That's truly the power of the Dao Shell realm alright…' The Twin Lights Liger King thought to himself.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" Several beasts appeared near the Twin Lights Liger King.

Most of them being the Lamp Light Ligers with a handful of other beasts that were under the Twin Lights Liger King. Besides, since they had reached a certain level of status, they knew how to chance clout and the Twin Lights Liger King was the perfect target.

"All Hail The Twin Lights Liger King for his success!" 

"The Twin Lights Liger King has succeeded in breaking through to the Dao Shell realm!"

More and more beasts appeared and started to shout out his praises. The beasts that appeared first other than the Lamp light Ligers were the core condensation realm beasts that were closer to him and lived in his territory.

But a few minutes later, more beasts arrived; this time they were at the Nascent soul realm.

"Congratulations on being the first among us." The Slim Arm Ape King spoke.

"Indeed. While I knew that if it were anyone, it would be you at the start. Now seeing you breakthrough makes me a little proud as well." The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King spoke.

Even if Lin Wu was technically the first one to have made the breakthrough to the Dao Shell realm a while back, the beasts knew better than to compare with him. To them, Lin Wu was just otherworldly at this point.

"AHAHAHA!" Loud Laughter could be heard coming from the distance as a bony and red figure approached.

"I finally have someone I have a chance at sparring with!" The Demon Spine Ape King exclaimed.

But just as the beasts were all greeting the Twin Lights Liger King, something else was happening in the Tomb.
