Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu knew that the first route was a lost cause and he was better off choosing the second one. The second one was what he was originally intending to do. Lin Wu was gonna dig into the ground and the second route was showing him the safest path. 

"Take the second route, system!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

ROUTE SELECTED: Activating navigation HUD

——

In the next second, the navigation HUD appeared in front of Lin Wu's field of vision, and now he just needed to follow it. Still, the success rate from this route was about fifty percent, but it was something Lin Wu was willing to take.

"It's ten times better than the first route, for heaven's sake…" Lin Wu muttered to him as he moved according to the route plotted by the system.

This was the first time Lin Wu was having to use all his capabilities to escape like this after reaching the Nascent Soul realm. He even used the wind attribute spirit Qi to further increase his speed and caused a small explosion behind himself to propel his body.

~shua~

~shua~

~shua~

The attacks of the Aquadream Sea Lotus continued and Lin Wu got hit several times but it was still manageable. The system was using the stored vital essence to continually heal Lin Wu so that he would be in his optimum condition.

This was no time to be frugal about resources, and Lin Wu was doing all he could to escape imminent death. But during this entire thing, he also realized that the Aquadream Sea Lotus had not spoken even once.

All it did was make screeching sounds that were just like cries of a beast. There was no actual sense to them and they were animalistic. He didn't even as the system to try translating it as he didn't know if it would be worth it.

"Goddamn! Where is the ground?" Lin Wu couldn't help but say.

By now the sea had expanded past Lin Wu's vision and it was still expanding. One could tell from this that the Aquadream Sea Lotus was immensely strong. Lin Wu reckoned that the entire Millennium forest may be eradicated by this single creature if it ever appeared there.

'Maybe even the Frozen Cloud sect would have a hard time against it. While the elders and the sect head may be able to hold back against the creature, I doubt the disciples would be able to do the same.' Lin Wu thought.

This also made Lin Wu think about the Dao Treading realm cultivators. Till now he had not seen the true expression of their might and the only one that he did see was the sect patriarch of the frozen cloud sect.

Lin Wu had experienced the power of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle that was at the Dao shell realm and could tell she was quite powerful as well. But the Aquadream Sea Lotus completely overshadowed it all.

"THERE IT IS!" Lin Wu exclaimed upon seeing a small patch of ground in the sea.

The patch was about four meters wide and looking as to how it was still there; it was evident that it was the peak of a mountain. This was the tallest mountain in the area and even this one had been drowned.

One would ask why Lin Wu did not go to the ground from the water. The reason for this was that while he could have directly sunk into the sea and gone to the bottom, this was the domain of the Aquadream Sea Lotus.

From the way it controlled the water jets in the air, Lin Wu was a hundred percent sure that it would be able to kill him in less than a minute if he touched water. Thus, the best way for him to escape was none other than this mountain peak.

"I only got one chance!" Lin Wu fired himself up as he triggered cellular manipulation and cellular crystallization.

His body shrank at rapid speed and he plunged into the mountain top. His body was the perfect size and shape, allowing it to sink into the solid mountain top like a bunker buster missile.

~boom~

The mountain top cracked from the impact, but Lin Wu instantly changed into the drill form to continue onwards. 

~shua~

From the cracked mountain top, the water started to rush in, which was kind of expected as the water level was still rising.

~KREEEEEEEEEE!!!~

The Aquadream Sea Lotus let out a loud screech as it saw Lin Wu escape into the mountain. 

~whoosh~

A large tide rose up as it sunk the mountain top into the sea. The water rushed into the hole, trying to catch up to Lin Wu. 

"Ahahha! YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!" Lin Wu shouted before drilling at his full speed.

He broke through rock like it was foam and directly entered the actual ground. 

~hua~

~hua~

The vines of the Aquadream Sea Lotus wrapped around the mountain and started to constrict.

~CRACK~

The mountain did not even last for five seconds before it broke apart and more water rushed into it. Thankfully by now, Lin Wu was already a hundred meters below the 'sea floor'. He didn't stop there and continued deeper till he reached a depth of five hundred meters, as that is what the system told him to do.

He finally changed his direction, and went in the way where the Platform was resting. That was the only thing Lin Wu was sure could save him for now. He already had the stone feather, thus he should be able to leave the place if he got to it.

But in a shock to Lin Wu, he realized the Aquadream Sea Lotus had not given up on him. He could feel several tendrils of spirit sense locking on to him.

"AH! GODDAMMIT! FUCK YOU!" Lin Wu said before using radiation manipulation to surround his body with radiation.

While this dissuaded the spirit sense tendrils from getting close to him, the Aquadream Sea Lotus could still follow him by sensing all the spirit Qi fluctuations he was creating.
