Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 944 Aftermath And Call



The old ancestor of the Long Clan watched as his bloodline trembled under the glare of the emerald being.

"What are you?" The old man questioned.

The emerald being moved his eyes from the Azure serpent, looking at the old man instead.

"It's rude to spy on others. Come meet me yourself." The Emerald being said before forcefully shattering the blank space.

~cough~cough~cough~

The old ancestor of the Long clan let out a series of coughs and was forcefully woken up from his clairvoyant state.

"Husband!" the old woman quickly grasped him.

"Ugh… Looks like we'll have to pay a visit ourselves." The old man spoke.

"Visit who?" the old woman asked.

"Someone who can suppress our bloodline."

Back at the Cang Lan sect, the battle had finally come to an end.

"Is it… dead?" Wang Xiong said slowly.

Everyone in the barrier had the same question in their hearts and they watched the large red crater that had been made due to the pillar of lightning that had fallen earlier.

The heat of the lightning had melted the soil and rocks, turning the area into a lava pool. Only the crater could still be seen vaguely due to the depth.

Not just that, but a deep hole was also situated at its center. And the lava from the surroundings now poured into it, forming a lavafall. The depths of the hole were unable to be seen having been plugged with red hot lava.

No one dared to use this spirit sense to check either, knowing the sheer amount of turbulent spirit Qi as well as lingering lightning spirit Qi would simply burn it apart. The internal injury from that would be hard to heal as well.

~WHOOSH~

But just as they were wondering about the conclusion, they felt the winds ramp up once more.

The clouds parted, and the massive body of Lin Wu descended from it.

'He's the same as before. It doesn't feel like he's been through a massive battle at all.' The Cang Lan sect's supreme elder thought.

The Long Clan's two Dao Treading realm elders didn't have much to say, having seen enough that they knew nothing would be enough.

"King Lin Wu, is the Calamity Fiend dead?" Shirong was the first one to speak.

~thud~

Lin Wu landed next to the barrier, creating a depression in the ground. He watched the crater and the lavafall without a word for a few seconds before shaking his head.

Seeing this, the faces of Shirong and others fell.

"It… It's alive?" Lian Xiaojian muttered in surprise.

"The Calamity Fiend is alive despite this!?" Wang Xiong found it hard to believe.

"It is alive, yes." Lin Wu confirmed. "It has managed to escape. Though it is certainly injured." He added.

"H-how is that even possible? Even an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator would be injured from that." The Long clan elders spoke again.

"The Calamity Fiend is very resilient. Toughness is what it's specialized in and is also why it has survived for such a long time.

After all, I've killed three Calamity Fiends before and yet they keep on returning. Just with different forms. Their kind will not be wiped out that easily." Lin Wu explained.

Everyone felt despair after hearing this.

"How can we live in peace if such a being is alive?"

"How can it even be killed, then?"

They all wondered.

"The ancestors! We need to tell the Ancestors!" The Female Dao Treading realm Long clan elder said hurriedly. "They must be able to do something."

The others looked at the elder, hoping that the Long clan will really have the solution.

~gulp~

The male Long clan elder swallowed in anxiety before cupping his fists.

"King Lin Wu, I beseech you as the High elder of the Long clan. Please talk to our ancestors and find a solution to this." The elder said before bowing his head.

The others looked at Lin Wu with hope in their eyes, too.

"Don't worry." Lin Wu allayed their fears before looking into the distance. "Your ancestors are on their way here right now." He stated.

"They are?!" The Long elders were surprised. "Of course! They must have sensed the battle." They realized.

Due to the fact that all communication had been blocked, they had become disillusioned. They even forgot that with the Calamity Fiend gone, the blockage should have been lifted.

"I'll let you all out." Lin Wu said and tapped the barrier with his tail.

~shua~

The barrier that was protecting them disappeared, allowing them to move around the area once more.

"Ugh!" but as soon as the barrier disappeared, they were faced with the aftermath of the battle.

The turbulent and rogue spirit Qi assaulted their bodies, making them feel pain. But that wasn't all as they also felt a strange repressive energy in the area that was restraining their spirit Qi.

Only Wang Xiong, Shirong and Lian Xiaojian were somewhat able to bear it with a little effort.

"Ah, let me help with that." Lin Wu extended a spike from his neck that reached all the way to Wang Xiong and the rest.

~clink~clink~clink~

"Pluck a crystal each, it will protect you from the remnant energies here. They are not good for your bodies." Lin Wu advised.

"T-thank you, King Lin Wu." The elders didn't even question him at this point.

They each plucked one crystal from the larger spike and felt comfort. It was as if a warm membrane covered their bodies and prevented any outside influence from invading their bodies.

"This… is this a peak grade defensive treasure?" The Long clan elders were stunned.

The effect of the crystal was quite strong and could easily compare to such defensive treasures in their minds.

"You can say that… but these will only last for a few days." Lin Wu replied.

"A few days?" the long clan elders were even more surprised. 'And he made them with such ease too… truly mysterious… Mysterious and strong.' They secretly thought.
