Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu had wanted to test the Tenth heir and taunting him was a good way to make him reveal his secrets.

While it might seem a little excessive, it was not like Lin Wu was in any trouble. He had already killed Immortal Ascension realm Aqua Dream Ocean lotus earlier and had a lot of confidence now.

Even if the Ancestor of the Hu Clan were to arrive, Lin Wu would be fine. He had learned from the Long clan ancestors about the other Immortal Ascension realm experts of the Ming Dao world.

At least the ones that were openly known.

The Hu clan had only one Immortal ascension realm ancestor, but there were supposedly two more immortal ascension realm experts on the Hu Continent. The only thing was that the identity of the two immortal ascension realm experts was lower.

As for the Gui clan, there were two Immortal ascension realm experts in their clan with one being the ancestor and one being the patriarch.

But this was just the older generation of seniors. What Lin Wu wanted to know about was the younger experts. The heirs of the clan would set the standards that would be followed in the future after all. Thus the stronger they were early one, the stronger their clan would become.

This was especially the case for the Hu clan which had turned into the sole ruler of the Hu Continent.

~BOOM~

The Great Hu claws of Hu Dagao struck the walls of the hall, collapsing them in one hit. All the reinforced arrays failed at stopping the attack, making Lin Wu raise a brow.

'The Spirit tool can ignore defenses?' Lin Wu had seen the way it had passed through the arrays.

It didn't just break them, but ignore them all together striking the walls directly. After all, the walls were reinforced enough that they would endure the attacks of a Dao Treading realm cultivator too.

'No wonder he can be the fourth strongest despite being at the Dao Shell realm. His strength transcends the realm.' Lin Wu thought.

But even if Hu Dagao had done this, he couldn't find out who was targeting him.

'Where is this pressure coming from?' Hu Dagao had his spirit sense spread around but he couldn't detect anything.

It was covering an area of over two hundred meters and made it too vague for him to tell where it was coming from. He thought that knocking down the walls would make it easier, but it just made it even more vague.

"I'll just demolish this place with you in it!" Hu Dagao was even more angry and started slashing out with the Great Hu claws.

The spirit weapons shone in a white and Grey light sending out long slashes that tore through rock and wood the same. With the inner walls of the hall gone, the only thing holding the roof up was the support pillars at the corners.

But now even those pillars were broken apart.

~CRUMBLE~

Eventually the roof couldn't hold and collapsed crushing the Six Qi Sapping ticks underneath it. Of course Hu Dagao and city lord Kulung were fine due to their cultivation bases.

A cloud of dust covered the area from the collapse and masked the vision of all.

~WHOOSH~

But Hu Dagao simply swung his claws again, blasting away the dust with it.

"Still not coming out?" he said in anger.

~sigh~

"You almost killed the Qi sapping ticks, I was going to use them later." The voice was heard by Hu Dagao.

This time though, it was filled with dissatisfaction.

~RUMBLE~

Then, the ground started to shake. Hu Dagao felt the large presence moving and his eyes went wide.

'It wasn't that it was vaguely spread… the presence is really that large!' Hu Dagao realized.

~CRACK~

And finally the ground cracked apart before a large object rose from it. Emerald Green crystal shone under the sunlight while a pair of crimson eyes glared at Hu Dagao.

"Very well, you asked for me and I've obliged." Lin Wu spoke his voice a little distorted.

It made one feel highly uncomfortable and Hu Dagao understood why he found it inhuman at first.

It was because it truly was inhuman.

"A beast? No… what?" Hu Dagao couldn't tell what Lin Wu was.

There was no beast like this in any book he had read and the way Lin Wu talked also made him confused. As far as he knew the only beasts that could talk in human tongue were either humanoid like monkey and ape beasts or were long lived.

Their clan spirit was also a beast but could talk in human tongue.

And Hu Dagao having the bloodline of the Hu clan meant that he was also sensitive to other beast auras. But Lin Wu's aura was simply being hidden by the system right now.

"Let's cut your kitty claws first, shall we? I don't want you to throw another tantrum." Lin Wu said before a strange energy spread from him.

It directly pushed away all the spirit qi and Hu Dagao felt like his body could no longer absorb any spirit qi.

"What is this?" The man was alarmed as he city feel the strange energy penetrating his body too.

It even infected the Greta Hu claws, making them turn dull. The unique aura on them was suppressed and soon they looked like they were mottled.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Hu Dagao shouted in fear and anger.

The Great Hu claws were his personal weapons and had been nurtured by him for many years. He had literally used his blood in refining them and fed it with his aura and spirit qi.

He had hoped that one day the Great Hu claws could turn into Pseudo Immortal weapon. If he managed to do that, he would have the best chance at becoming the Patriarch.

But now, all of it was for naught.

All the effort he had put in the claws, all the spirit qi and resources… all were wasted.

The Great Hu claws turned into mortal weapons from Peak Grade Spirit weapons!
