Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Shirong's body was currently letting of startling waves of Qi. His aura continued to rise and an illusory figure was forming above him.

The figure was deep purple in color and had black eyes that looked like ink stones!

At first the figure was very blurry and hard to see, but the more spirit Qi that Shirong absorbed and the more his cultivation base rose, the more clear the figure became.

About ten minutes later, Shirong had already broken through to the Adult Soul stage and was rapidly approaching the peak.

Lin Wu continued to watch everything, feeling satisfied.

'Everything went according to plan this time. I didn't even need to prepare more tribulations for him. Choosing three beasts for this was the right choice.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

And as Lin Wu continued watching it all, the system finally gave an update.

Shirong fully awakened his bloodline and its effects were clearly present now. Arcs of electricity swirled around his body and jumped across his skin. His black pupils reflected the purple streaks of lightening and looked like gems.

The bloodline figure of the Thunderpool serpent floated above Shirong as well. It had become clear and was staring towards a certain direction.

"Oh? It's actually looking at me?" Lin Wu noticed.

~shua~

A wave of aura emanated from the figure of the Thunderpool serpent and reached Lin Wu. Lin Wu was familiar with this and knew that the bloodline was trying the challenge him. It was something that could happen when strong bloodlines encountered each other.

The resonance between them could trigger a phenomena that will manifest the figures of the bloodlines. But in the current case, the bloodline figure had already manifested since Shirong had just awakened it.

The bloodline figure was new and was excited after being 'born'.

And just like a newborn that was curious, it had no fear either. Other than the bloodline instincts that it had, which would dictate its behavior, it had no pattern of acting. Thus, it did the thing most beasts would do when they encountered other beasts that were just as strong as them.

Challenging and attempting to intimidate them.

"Hoho? You're approaching me?" Lin Wu said as he saw the bloodline figure actually coming toward him.

Shirong on the other hand, was still in a state of trance and was stabilizing his cultivation base after the breakthrough. The purple thunderbolt patterns were moving around on his skin and once his body fully adapted to them, they would disappear.

~hiss~

A low hissing sound was heard as the purple figure of the Thunderpool serpent glared at Lin Wu, who looked like a serpent to it too.

Unfortunately for the bloodline figure, it had made a mistake.

"Hump! Need a lesson?" Lin Wu scoffed and released his own aura.

~HONG~

Lin Wu was well experienced in the bloodline conflicts by now and needed only a second to send the Thunderpool serpent's bloodline figure running.

<strong>~HISSSS!!!!~</strong>

The Thunderpool serpent was clearly scared and a fear that rose from deep within its instincts warned it, telling it to retreat. And since it was merely a bloodline figure and not a real beast, it didn't have the intelligence to resist it either.

It quickly ran back to Shirong and turned into a purple mist that seeped into Shirong's pores.

~MUSH~

​ Shirong's skin trembled as the purple mist forced its way into his body. And when it was gone, the purple thunderbolt patterns on Shirong's skin disappeared as well.

The arcs of lightning faded away and a calm spirit Qi wave rose from Shirong.

~huu~

He opened his eyes, that faintly sparked with a purple glint.

"Seems like you succeeded." Lin Wu said, seeing the man woke up.

"Yes, senior… and it is all because of you," Shirong said in a grateful tone.

He knew that if it were not for Lin Wu, he wouldn't have even known he had a dormant bloodline. And even if he knew, awakening it would have been out of his reach as well. After all, there weren't many ways someone could control a tribulation.

Shirong doubted if even his great grandfather would be able to do something like this.

The only other method he would have would be to interfere in others' heavenly tribulations and risk harming himself. He wasn't so naïve as to think that everything would have gone as smoothly as it had done today.

It was all because Lin Wu had been regulating it and made sure that the 'doses' of tribulation lightning he got were just the right amount. And only after Shirong had gotten used to it did, he let the rest of the lightning strike Shirong.

"How do you feel?" Lin Wu asked.

"I feel… strong… like I can wield lightning and break storms!" Shirong said with vigor while literal streaks of lightning swam over his skin.

He looked at his hands and felt like he could control the lightning as if it was his own spirit sense.

Shirong thought for a bit before gesturing with his hand and turning the lightning into a string that flew around in the air. It followed his finger and changed form with merely a thought.

"Seems like you managed to improve the control over lightning again." Lin Wu couldn't help but say.

The improvement was certainly greater than before.

"Its just some unworthy tricks, senior. I have a long time before I can replicate the feats of your level." Shirong said truthfully.

After all, Shirong had seen Lin Wu progress in the Immortal Sky Shaker Art in mere seconds. While he had taken years to do the same.

And now he even had the support of a bloodline to do the same. While Lin Wu could do it all without anything of that sort. Shirong knew the stages they were standing on were vastly different.
