Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The Olive Viper King wanted nothing more than to swallow Lin Wu whole, but unfortunately for him, he was unable to do anything.

He just watched on as the two bodies of Lin Wu moved to the two sides of the area. Each of them landed in one of the light pillars to the side.

The light pillars were oriented in a unique pattern. There were two light pillars that were bigger than the others, and ten light pillars were placed in a curricular form around these larger light pillars.

Lin Wu's avatar and main body were standing on each of these larger light pillars and kept on releasing flames or wind from their mouths. The two elements were drawn towards the other light pillars and swirled around them before spreading around the ground in a unique pattern.

In about a minute, a complex grid of runes was formed that looked to be hard to read. It was entirely written in Dao script and the Olive Viper King could not make sense of what it was.

All he knew was the human's used formations like these and he fully suspected that Lin Wu had taken the help of humans. While the Olive Viper King didn't know formations in detail, he did know that they needed to be set up beforehand.

And he for sure knew no human entered his territory to do this. If anyone dared to enter, they would have to be prepared to be snake dinner. As for Lin Wu setting it up himself, the Olive Viper King doubted that, as beasts didn't have the skills to do it.

~SHUA~

It was at this moment that he realized the flames that restricted his body internally were reducing.

"Finally! Now that I'm free, that'll be the end of you!" The Olive Viper King stated.

~BOOM~

Alas! The snake had spoken too soon as two attacks hit him from opposite sides. But calling them attacks was also a bit wrong as they weren't sent out by Lin Wu, but rather had come from the runes below him.

"AAAAHHH!" The Olive Viper King cried in pain as stormy winds buffeted one side of his body, while hot flames burned the other.

Unfortunately, the Olive Viper King didn't know that this was but just the start of it all. The fire and wind merged and soon formed a cyclone around the Olive Viper King. His cries were droned out by the sound of the cyclone and his figure soon disappeared within it.

Both bodies of Lin Wu kept on producing wind and flames at full force and did not stop until the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the Olive Viper King faded away. This took him over ten minutes, which showed just how tough the Olive Viper King really was.

"Damn, the crystal and that unknown bloodline really increased his resilience the same as me, huh…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He continued to use the formation to attack the Olive Viper King for an extra minute, just for security, and then asked the system.

"System, do a scan and see if the Olive Viper King is still alive or not." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

SCANNER: Activated

SCAN COMPLETED: No life signs detected

——

With the system's confirmation, Lin Wu took a breath of relief.

~Phew~

"Finally, he's dead…" Lin Wu muttered.

~woong~

The Fire-Wind Dual restriction formation finally stopped and Lin Wu decided to approach the Olive Viper King's dead body. Once the cyclone and light pillars disappeared, Lin Wu could see the broken and battered body of the Olive Viper King.

There was no blood anywhere since it had been burned away by the flames and only the main body could be seen. But on the body, several thousand cuts and wounds could be seen that were created by the sharp winds.

The fire has then penetrated the wounds and killed the beast from the inside. 

~sniif~sniif~

"Hang on a second…" Lin Wu sniffed the air.

"The fuck? This actually smells really good!" Lin Wu said with excitement.

He used his tail to peel some of the skin of the Olive Viper King and saw the sweet and tender flesh beneath it. It was perfectly cooked and juices were dripping from it. The wounds that were created on the body acted like a tenderizer, allowing the heat to spread evenly within.

Lin Wu's mouth dripped with saliva as he felt an intense desire to eat it. And he was just about to do that when he suddenly remembered something.

"No, wait! I can't eat it here. If something happens to me or my bloodline and I become immobile here, it could get problematic." Lin Wu understood.

He then tapped the cooked corpse of the Olive Viper King and stored it into the inventory. 

"System, teleport us to the tomb!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

TELEPORTATION FORMATION: Initializing

FORMATION INITIALIZED: Activating teleportation

——

~shua~

Since Lin Wu was away from the tomb, it took slightly longer for the formation to activate, but it was still fast enough that it was done in less than thirty seconds.

The runes formed into a formation and took Lin Wu's main body and avatar away.

~shua~

  Both of Lin Wu's bodies appeared in the main hall of the Taiji Celestial's tomb. 

"Before I eat it, I should inform the others." Lin Wu reckoned.

He then quickly contacted the three rulers and told them that the Olive Viper King was dead and that Lin Wu was gonna go into seclusion for a bit. Hearing this, the rulers were surprised at once but then understood that this was inevitable.

The one thing that the Demon Spine ape regretted was that he didn't get to see the fight between Lin Wu and the Olive Viper King. But there was little they could do other than to finish up their plan.

All of the insect beasts and monkey beasts were recalled and they returned to their own territories.

Lin Wu then contacted his subordinates and gave them some orders before finally getting to the main course.
