Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

"Everyone gather up!" A middle aged man dressed in leather armor ordered.

"YES COMMANDER!" The soldiers around him replied.

There were over five hundred soldiers here and they were two different armors among them. It could be seen from that they were of different kingdoms. And yet, the one leading them was a man with no affiliation to either of them.

And if one looked at the back, they would see that there weren't just soldiers in this, but also some other people.

"Why can't we just go there on their own? These soldiers are too slow." A man dressed in simple black robes spoke in an irritated tone.

"Those are the rules that the kingdoms set. Do you want to violate them and end up getting targeted? Don't forget that even if the soldiers are weaker than us on average the commander is still strong." Another man dressed in similar robes replied.

"Couldn't we have just gone in secretly before the expedition? I doubt they would even know about us. After all, there are a lot of independent cultivators coming here in groups." A short woman dressed in a green dress asked.

"And risk dying to an unknown tomb? No way." Their leader in the black robes said.

~Sigh~

"Seems like we are stuck with this then…" they shook their heads.

This was the large expedition that the Zhan kingdom and the Peony plains kingdom had organized. They had sent their own soldiers as well as allowed the independent cultivators to join in on the expedition.

They wouldn't have done something like this normally, but for an unknown tomb, it was not good to use up all their troops and risk getting them eliminated. Besides, if some of these independent cultivators died in the tombs, it would lessen the powers in the kingdoms too.

Plus, the kingdoms could use them as scapegoats is something ever happened.

It was a win-win situation for them even if they might have to share the spoils in the end.

The level of powers was also quiet varied here. The strongest experts here were at the Dao Shell realm, this being none other than the commander. Then there were several nascent soul realm experts from both the kingdom, as well as some independent experts.

But the majority were still at the core condensation realm and the Qi refining realm.

The large expedition group came to a stop near the site of the ruins and set up a camp. It was already close to evening, and the people were tired from the long travel. After all, they had to deal with beasts and other minor troubles along the way here.

The ruins were far into the forests, and the path wasn't exactly good. A small group would reach it easily, but not one as big as this.

And while the group rested in the camp, another large being was waiting deep underground.

"So this is the tomb huh… doesn't seem all that impressive." Lin Wu said as he observed the tomb with his spirit sense.

He had already checked all the humans with his spirit sense and knew their situation as well as strength. Since they weren't really going to be an issue for him, Lin Wu decided to check up on the tomb instead.

Compared to the Taiji Celestial's tomb, it seemed far too inferior and even the formation arrays that were tough and dangerous for the humans were broken through by the system in a matter of minutes.

Lin Wu now had full access to the tomb and could do as he pleased.

"Let's see what's hiding in here… maybe it'll enhance my later act." Lin Wu said to himself and opened up a new entrance to the tomb.

~CRACK~ CRACK ~ CRACK~

A few spikes tore apart the floor of the tomb and allowed Lin Wu to enter it. Even then, he had to shrink his body quite a bit. And this was when the tomb was already quite big. It didn't seem like from the outside, but the tomb actually spread in several kilometers wide area underground.

~DING~

"Ooo… there's quite a lot of stuff here." Lin Wu said as he saw all the shines appear on the map.

"Hehe! First come, first serve!" Lin Wu chuckled and got to collecting everything.

There were traps in the tomb, but they were either disabled by the system for Lin Wu or were simply ineffective on his body.

What fire? What poison? What cosmically large stone balls that crushed you?

Nothing worked on Lin Wu, and he swaggered through the corridors of the tomb.

There were a lot of cultivation resources kept in the tomb, along with Qi skills and even a couple of cultivation techniques.

"Guess this is as generic of an expert's tomb as it can get, huh?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Having gathered it all, he let the system process the Qi skills and cultivation techniques while he started to change the tomb.

"Let's make this a little exciting, shall we?" Lin Wu got to work.

The formation arrays were modified, while the corridors and rooms changed. New areas appeared and new traps were made, along with some rewards as well.

"Now to wait and watch hehe~" Lin Wu picked the largest room that was newly created and watched as the expedition group entered through the main entrance of the tomb.

~BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~

"ARGH!"

"NOO!!"

Right at the entrance, they ended up losing three people that were killed by the stone bullets.

"Everyone is to be on alert!" The commander ordered and took the lead.

They got through the locked door and entered, going through room after room, corridor after corridor.

With the increased danger, around half of them were dead by the time they reached the final chamber.

"Haaa… Ha… ha…" The commander and several others were tired as they came to a halt in front of a large door.

"This must be it… after all this time and sacrifice…" the commander muttered.
