Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 717 – Critical Point

While the supreme elder was fighting against the Twin Lights Liger King and Tim, Lin Wu was focusing on himself.

"Shit! Can't this speed up more?" Lin Wu cursed.

He frantically looked through the hundreds of storage sections he had and picked out all the healing items or other things that he thought might help him.

"Fuck it! I'll take them all!" Lin Wu decided.

He threw all the pills, pastes, crystals, and stones into his mouth and swallowed them quickly.

For the first few seconds, Lin Wu didn't feel anything. But then it happened…

"Goddammit!" Lin Wu grunted in pain, letting out a distorted cry that even startled the supreme elder a little bit.

He could fell heat, cold, and an electrifying energy rushing in his stomach. It penetrate his stomach and moved to the meridians before rushing out into the rest of his body.

The system too didn't forget to give out warnings.

~DING~

——

WARNING: Potent medical energy detected!

WARNING: Potent vital energy detected!

WARNING: Conflicting medicinal components detected!

RECTIFYING: Conflict resolved.

——

Taking so many things without considering the outcome was certainly a crazy thing, and if it was anyone other than Lin Wu, there was no doubt they would have died. Either by exploding into a thousand bits, or melting into a puddle of blood due to the strong toxins made from the combination of conflicting medicinal components.

"At least it's helping…" Lin Wu could only console himself.

He could feel the blockages in his meridians being forcefully being pushed out. It was certainly a painful sensation and felt like someone was grinding down on his flesh with a cheese grater.

But the effects were worth it for him.

~DING~

Seeing the notification, Lin Wu felt really pleased.

"HAHA! Just a few more minutes and I'll beat his ass!" Lin Wu exclaimed, which was only understood by the Twin Lights Liger king.

He felt both conflicted and relieved, but the supreme elder found the exclamation to be another distorted cry.

'What's up with that beast?' the supreme elder wondered.

He wanted to attack Lin Wu, but found that he was actually being matched by these two beasts.

Or more accentually, it was Tim that was taking all the hits while the Twin Lights Liger King kept on shooting out beams from his eyes.

"How can this beast be this tough? He seems even tougher than that crystal serpent." The supreme elder was surprised.

He had seen just how much Lin Wu could withstand and yet, Tim seemed to be the same. Both of them had crystals on their bodies, which evidently increased their power and defenses.

It made the supreme elder wonder if there was some connection between Tim and Lin Wu.

'This is certainly not a coincidence. Even the Twin Lights Liger… his attacks have something else hidden in them. A strange energy that can consume my spirit Qi.' The supreme elder wondered.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the Twin Lights Liger King was no normal Twin Lights Liger King. He too was now part of the Emeraldine Legion and contained a part of the bloodline.

It had even gone so far as to mutate his own bloodline and adapt to it, boosting his capabilities further and adding some nasty effects for his foes.

This was the first time the Twin Lights Liger King was fighting like this too and was rather surprised by his own capabilities.

"If I can keep this up… then doesn't it mean that I actually have a chance to defeat this man?" The Twin Lights Liger king couldn't help but question.

His confidence rose and the doubts he was feeling in facing a Dao Treading realm cultivator like the supreme elder reduced. 

~SHUN~ SHUN~ SHUN~

He increased his speed of attacks and used spirit Qi wantonly. One beam after the other was shot out as black and white lights alternated. 

Lin Wu who saw this all, couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic.

'Those eyes are pretty much laser blasters, huh…' Lin Wu thought, as a few ideas about making some things came to his mind.

~KIIIIII!!!~

Tim was no less fierce and his claws and teeth tore through everything that was thrown at him. Lin Wu knew that his claws and teeth had reached another level after his breakthrough.

After all, Lin Wu had to face them before too, in the many beat downs he had given to Tim. While he had won every time, Tim wasn't fully helpless either. He had given Lin Wu enough injuries.

In fact, his claws and teeth were one of the few things that could actually cut through his crystalline body. It was rather shocking to Lin Wu and if he didn't have the ability to regenerate, Tim could have very well been the bane of his existence.

~phew~

"I need to really find some new ways to tame Tim. He'll certainly be a lot more wild after this incident." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

The fight in the sky continued and the two parties had reached a stalemate. The supreme elder couldn't defeat the two beasts and could only push them back, while Tim and the Twin Lights Liger King kept up their offense, with Tim acting as the Tank and The Twin Lights Liger King the DPS.

While this was not enough to defeat the supreme elder, it was still enough to make him unable to put his full energy into completing the skill. The icy flier in the sky had slowed down in its growth and didn't look to be growing at the same speed as before.

"Hehehe! Just a couple minutes more." Lin Wu chuckled.

~DING~

Lin Wu glanced at the progress and his toothy smile appeared on his face again. He was already imagining the different ways he would use his skills after the breakthrough and was excited for him.

The system had already told him that the breakthrough for him would be vastly different than before too.
