"GAH!" Lin Wu grunted from the impact.

The Olive Viper King had used his entire body to slam into him. While usually, Lin Wu would be able to shrug off an attack like this easily, he realized that there was something strange on Olive Viper King's body.

"Why… is this making me even more sluggish?" Lin Wu was surprised.

There was a faint green energy flowing around the Olive Viper King's body. This was different from the green flow that Lin Wu usually let out and was actually material.

"System, analysis!" Lin Wu ordered while trying to get away from the Olive Viper King.

But unfortunately for him, the Olive Viper King had taken this chance to wrap around him.

"Oh, you think it's gonna be this easy?" Lin Wu taunted as suddenly a screeching sound was heard.

~CLANG~

Multiple spikes protruded from Lin Wu's body and pushed the Olive Viper King away. The scales on his belly were weaker than that of his crystalline back, but they were still strong enough to defend against the spikes.

~HISS~

The Olive Viper King hissed at Lin Wu and bared his fangs. The two beasts roiled and rolled around the ground, tussling with each other.

"Enough!" Lin Wu said as sharp blades of wind attribute spirit Qi started to shoot out from his entire body.

The blades created enough impact to repel the Olive Viper King and making him unwrap Lin Wu.

"You won't be able to last long! You're WEAK!" The Olive Viper King taunted.

Lin Wu's eyes glowed in response and he got a bit pissed.

"Time will decide that." Lin Wu said as radiation manipulation was used at full potential.

Heated waves of air circulated around him as the plants, and grass started to dry out and wither. The water that was nearby boiled up and soon started to evaporate. Lin Wu then combined the addition with the wind attribute spirit Qi and attached it to his tail like a whip.

"Take this!" Lin Wu yelled as the long wind whip full of radiation flew towards the Olive Viper King.

~BOOM~

A sonic boom was heard as the wind whip slammed into the back of the Olive Viper King.

"ARGH!" The Olive Viper King cried in pain.

The attack of Lin Wu was quite powerful and the impact of it traveled all the way through to his insides.

"How? YOU USE THAT ENERGY TOO!" The Olive Viper King finally realized what radiation was.

~swoosh~

~swoosh

~slap~

Lin Wu though, didn't give him many chances to speak and kept on whipping his tail with which the wind whip moved. The Olive Viper King tried to dodge and flew up into the sky.

"Think you can do well in the sky? BITCH I USE WIND!" Lin Wu taunted.

The second level of Immortal Sky Shaker art: wind attributive spirit Qi adept came in handy here as Lin Wu directly controlled the winds around the Olive Viper King to push him down.

~bam~

The Olive Viper King lost his control and directly slammed into the ground, creating a snake shaped pit.

~shing~

Lin Wu's tail quickly changed its shape and turned into a sharp axe. Taking the opportunity while the Olive Viper King was struck on the ground, Lin Wu brought down the Axe like an executioner threatening to split its body in two.

But just as the Axe was about to reach the Olive Viper King's head, he quickly flipped back and opened its mouth.

~shua~

A spray of poison was shot out towards the tail-turned-Axe and spread on it.

~sizzle~sizzle~sizzle~

"DAMN! It burns like a bitch!" Lin Wu cursed.

He looked at the Axe that he had made and saw the holes on its flat surface. The edge was fully corroded due to the poison of the Olive Viper King.

'His poison can truly hurt me… will need to keep it to the minimum or avoid it entirely.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

And just as he did this, the system gave him a notification.

~DING~

——

ANALYSIS COMPLETED: The Olive Viper King is using another innate ability that may be part of the unknown bloodline. The host did not awaken this ability, and it is likely that it was present in another fragment of the bloodline.

The ability can slow down the functioning of the body by inhibiting the spirit Qi flow of the body and the air around it.

——

"Damn, no wonder it can make even me sluggish. It is an innate ability!" Lin Wu understood.

"That poison is no good either and can overcome my crystal body. It must be the counter to it…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he started to heal the damage that was done to his tail.

The Axe had turned back into his tail and he used the vital essence he had to repair it.

~deng~clang~deng~

Lin Wu and the Olive Viper King fought head on and they bashed their heads together. Lin Wu's tail was still healing and thus was out of commission for the time being. After seeing the strength of the poison, Lin Wu knew that if enough of it was used, it may even be able to completely melt off his tail.

That was certainly not something Lin Wu wanted.

Lin Wu's spirit sense spread around, observing things in the surroundings.

'Time to switch it up a bit…' Lin Wu thought upon seeing the other subordinates of the Olive Viper King that were still around.

"Take this!" Lin Wu said as he opened his mouth wide.

Qi Amplification!

Sapphire Meridians!

Immortal Sky Shaker Art!

Radiation Manipulation!

All of his abilities were activated at once and a dark green orb of energy formed within his throat. It expanded outwards and started sucking in the spirit Qi from the air as well. Lin Wu poured his spirit Qi as well, and the orb reached the diameter of his head.

The orb of energy reached a critical point and could not maintain its integrity anymore.

Report chapter

This was a move that Lin Wu had made a few days ago but had never tried it. He made it by combining all of the aspects of the abilities that he had. It needed a proper balance between them or it would just end up failing instead.

The immortal Sky Shaker art was used to produce the wind attribute spirit Qi which was then modified with the Sapphire meridians to gain penetrating properties. Then, Qi amplification increased the amount of it that could be produced at once.

Then finally came radiation manipulation, which not only added radiation to the mix but also helped compress it further. The orb itself was made of a wind attribute spirit Qi which was then further compressed with the air around them which Lin Wu irradiated and controlled.

The combination of this all resulted in it turning into a dark green orb whose size could be increased indefinitely as long as Lin Wu could control it. But for now, an orb the same size of his head was already the maximum he could reach.

"Take this!" Lin Wu said as he bit down on the orb hard.

~ZAP~

A strange sound was heard as the orb exploded outwards into a beam form. Lin Wu's head recoiled a bit from the exploding of the orb changing the trajectory of the attack upwards, but he managed to control it in a bit.

But that little recoil had left a massive difference in the area around. A deep gully was carved into the ground where the beam passed and it was smoking hot. The parts where there were rocks and stones were directly melted and the boiling red liquid was left behind.

When Lin Wu's head was cocked back, the beam moved upwards and it destroyed all of the trees in a straight line for about two kilometers. They were either reduced to ash directly or blown to bits in one go.

As for the sky? The clouds in the sky had been parted and a massive line could be seen in it.

The Olive Viper King had barely been able to dodge the attack, but even then the forepart of his tail was cut off.

"ARGH!! MY TAIL!" The Olive Viper King yelled in pain.

Lin Wu took this opportunity to move his head at a 360 degree angle, effectively slicing all of the trees, rocks, beasts, and anything else that came in front of the beam in half before they burned.

~BOOM~

~THUD~THUD~THUD~

The trees that were taller were left with only their tops, as their bottom and middle parts were directly reduced to ash. As for the shorter trees, there was nothing left of them and the same could be the same for beasts.

A circle with a diameter of two kilometers was created within which now there was reality anything. It was as if the land had been leveled and burned down entirely. Even the radiant heat from the beam was enough to melt metal, not to mention the direct impact of it.

The Olive Viper King would have been burned entirely too had it not been for him being at the Nascent soul realm and having the crystalline body that had a certain resistance of radiation.

This was the reason why Lin Wu had used the sapphire meridians gained from the Undaunted Sapphire Body art to modify the sprint Qi. This allowed it to pierce the defenses of everything that came in front of it.

~posh~

The beam finally ended, and Lin Wu's head returned to normal. If one looked in his mouth, they could see a lot of the crystalline parts had been damaged as well.

"Damn! The power is even more than I thought. Though targeting something specific that can move will be a bit more difficult." Lin Wu said upon seeing the Olive Viper King who had survived with just a part of his tail destroyed.

He then checked his mouth and winced.

'It hurts myself too though… damn, my internals are not good using that attack. Thankfully, the vital essence is already repairing it.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

The Olive Viper King had recovered from the initial pain of losing his tail and was looking at Lin Wu with deadly eyes.

"You destroyed my territory! PREPARE TO BE EXTERMINATED!" The Olive Viper King declared as strong spirit Qi fluctuations started to come out of his body.

Seeing this, Lin Wu knew that the fight was entering the final phase and the Olive Viper King would not be holding back anymore.

'System, get the second part of the plan ready.' Lin Wu ordered in his mind.

For a second, a faint rumble could be heard coming from the ground, but Lin Wu suppressed it by causing vibrations of his own.

He glanced at the map in the corner of his eye and saw the changes happening in it.

"Now to just stall…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"Bring it on!" Lin Wu taunted.

"AHH!!!!!" The Olive Viper King let out a battle cry as he flew towards Lin Wu.

Both of them met mid air and clashed again. Blow after blow was exchanged as poison clouds, venom sprays, wind blades, crystal spikes were used. The battle raged on for about ten minutes after which, several parts of the Olive Viper King's crystal back were ripped off.

Blood was dripping from the weaker scales on his belly and hundreds of teeth marks could be seen on it. These were of course, made by Lin Wu biting the Olive Viper King.

But Lin Wu was not without injuries either. During the battle, he had been continuously using vital essence to keep his body in top condition and healing it along with it as well. The beam attack earlier had damaged his mouth and internals, healing, which had used up a lot of his vital essence.

By now, Lin Wu was barely left with any vital essence at all in the storage and was fully depending on his natural recovery.

Still, the multiple dents and cracks in his body were hard to heal.

Report chapter

~huu~huu~huu~

Lin Wu took deep breaths as he gazed at the Olive Viper King. The attacks earlier had drained him quite a lot and the same could be said for the Olive Viper King as well.

~HISS~

"Already done? Now be prepared to die!" The Olive Viper King gained a burst of energy as he attacked Lin Wu again.

His mouth opened wide, and his fangs glistened in a dangerous light. The venom on its tips could already be seen, and it was a greenish black in color. One could imagine just what kind of damage a venom like that could do.

Till now, the Olive Viper King had used many attacks and had even tried to bite Lin Wu. But he had mostly used the poison he could produce and didn't use his own venom. Lin Wu guessed this was due to the fact that this was his strongest attack and used up a lot of energy for him.

The innate ability of the Olive Viper King that made Lin Wu sluggish had also been compounding over the past few minutes and had made him even slower than before. Compared to before, Lin Wu only had 60% of his full speed left.

Lin Wu though, was not scared and faced the beast head on.

"Just a little bit more… more… NOW!" Lin Wu shouted.

~RUMBLE~

~BOOM~

In the next second, another copy of Lin Wu popped up from the ground. It directly tackled the Olive Viper King and bit onto the back of his head.

"GAH!!!" The Olive Viper King grunted in pain.

~CRACK~

~CRACK~

The crystallizing layer on his head cracked due to Lin Wu's bite, and he didn't know what had attacked him.

"What?" The Olive Viper King finally sensed what had attacked him using spirit sense and saw another copy of Lin Wu, the beast he was fighting.

"How can this be?" The Olive Viper King shouted in shock.

"Oh, there's a lot you haven't seen! NOW TAKE THIS!" Lin Wu replied as his teeth started to heat up.

In the next moment, concentrated fire attribute spirit Qi started to pour into the head of the Olive Viper King from Lin Wu's teeth. And if one looked at the flames leaking out from the side they would see that they were vermillion in color.

"STOPPP!!!!!!" The Olive Viper King shouted as he flailed his head around.

"Now you're done! SYSTEM, ACTIVATE IT!" Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

——

FORMATION ARRAY: Activated

NOTIFICATION: Fire-Wind dual restriction formation array at full potential

——

~HONGLONG~

A loud humming sound could be heard coming from the ground suddenly.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

In the next moment, twenty two beams of light sprouted from the ground and pierced the sky. The light beams were tall enough that they could be seen by nearly every beast in the millennium forest.

In the center of the sixth ring, several lamp light ligers gazed at the light pillars.

"What is that?"

"INFORM THE KING!"

A cacophony of roars was heard as the Lamp Light Ligers frantically responded. Some went to inform the Twin Lights Liger King while some went to check out what was happening.

Unfortunately for them, they met several hundreds of insect beasts on their way.

"What are you all doing? Do you wanna die!"

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR WAY!"

The Lamp Light ligers threatened.

"Try us." The leader of the insect beasts, which was a large scorpion beast said.

He was the same Barb Pincered Scorpio that Lin Wu had mutated and it could be seen from the crystalline body parts that were green colored. His tail's stinger was emerald green in color and the same could be said for his pincers.

His eyes glowed in an eerie blue light as he snapped his pincers in a threatening manner.

"KILL THEM!" the Lamp light liger beast's leader ordered.

In the next second an intense fight broke out and the beasts started to battle.

A few tens of kilometers away from the fight, a large beetle beast and two ape beasts were standing.

"Seems like the worm has managed to bring the fight to its climax. We won't have to wait for long now, it seems." The Slim Arm Ape king spoke.

"Hmm… it's strange that the Twin Lights Liger King has not taken action yet. Even the Lamp light ligers only went out on their own and were not sent by their king specifically." The Split Thorn Horn beetle king said.

"Doesn't matter. We just need to do as we agreed on. If the Twin Lights Liger King appears, we shall block him!" The Demon Spine Ape said.

"Let's just keep an eye. The Twin light liger king is not simple…" the Slim Arm Ape King said as he gazed towards the Dark Bloom Caverns.

Back at the Olive Viper King's territory, a formation array was activated. This was the Fire Wind Dual Restriction Formation array. It was something included in the numerous data sets about formations the system had obtained and was the perfect for Lin Wu's current situation.

"What is this?! DID YOU COLLUDE WITH THE HUMANS? WHY IS THERE A FORMATION ARRAY HERE?" the Olive Viper King questioned in shock.

"All you need to know is that this is your end!" Lin Wu said as his main body let out wind attribute spirit Qi that shot towards the multiple pillars of light.

The same was done by his avatar, but it sent out fire attribute spirit Qi instead. The avatar then jumped back from the Olive Viper King who was now unable to move for a bit. The fire attribute spirit Qi that Lin Wu had injected in him was not normal.

Lin Wu's avatar had the partial bloodline of the Vermillion bird, but it was still fragmented. Even then it was enough for his flames to contain a trace of the Vermillion flames and thus when these flames entered Olive Viper King's body, it was enough to wreak havoc in his internals.

The Olive Viper King gritted his teeth in pain as he looked at the two bodies of Lin Wu with a hateful look.

Report chapter

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.

Report chapter

Lin Wu first took out the body of the Olive Viper King and scanned it fully.

This was the first major quest that he had received and he was finally getting to complete it after all this time.

~huu~

"It feels rather strange… he seemed too far away back then and now… he's nothing…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

After looking at it for a bit, he was enticed once again by the delicious aroma of the cooked meat.

"Well, let eat!" Lin Wu said before he pounced on it.

The first bite he took was of the tender white flesh and it was soft and melted in his mouth.

"Yumm! This is the best food I've had in this world!" Lin Wu proclaimed.

He then went to the scales of the Olive Viper king that had turned crispy under the constant heat.

~Crunch~

~Crunch~

~Crunch~

"Damn! These are just like chips! All they lack is salt," Lin Wu said before taking out some salt from his inventory.

He had gathered plenty of spices and condiments for his meals and, spreading it over the olive viper king, the taste was enhanced by another level.

Lin Wu kept on eating more and more of the corpse and munched on the bones that broke under his teeth like biscuits or breadsticks. The heat had cooked them to perfection, and they were brittle now.

Lin Wu took the time to savor everything and finished the entire corpse of the Olive Viper King in about three hours. And when he was finally done, he got the notification he had been waiting for.

~DING~

——

QUEST COMPLETED: Consume the Olive Viper King

REWARD OBTAINED: Bloodline progression, Cultivation progression

——

Once the quest completion notification came, Lin Wu got a ton more notification. They were mostly about spirit Qi and vital that was obtained, but at the end, a notification came that he had not seen for a while.

~DING~

——

BLOODLINE UPGRADE: Both of the host's bloodlines will receive an upgrade

NOTIFICATION: The host will be in a hibernating state, permit upgrade: Y/N?

——

~Sigh~

"I must've expected this…." Lin Wu muttered to himself and thought to himself.

"System, can I live on in my Avatar body till then?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: The progression will affect the host's own soul, thus the host would not be able to stay conscious. Though the host can give certain commands to the Avatar, that can be carried out on autopilot.

——

"Hmm… I guess that's a bit reasonable…" Lin Wu muttered to himself and looked at his avatar.

"And how long is the progression going to take?" Lin Wu questioned.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: There is no current estimate for it. The time period of bloodline progression cannot be plotted due to the unexpected irregularities that can appear and the compatibleness between the bloodlines.

The system will be actively modifying and adapting the bloodlines to the most optimum format.

——

Reading this, Lin Wu reckoned that he should definitely prepare some backups in case it takes too long for him to wake up. He then spent a few hours thinking of all possible things that could happen and made a few plans.

He then made alternative plans with the assistance of the system and gave them to the avatar. Lin Wu also contacted his subordinates and told them that he would be cultivated in seclusion longer than he had said before.

They were currently doing their task of capturing the territory of the Olive Viper King. And while talking to them, Lin Wu also received some news. It was about something he had nearly forgotten about.

"The Club tailed lizard, she wants to talk?" Lin Wu heard from the beetle beast.

"Yes master, since her mate is dead she wants a place to live. We would have attacked her but she didn't do that to us, thus we held ourselves. Plus, she was stronger than us thus we didn't want to take the risk without your permission." The beetle beast ordered.

The Club tailed lizard was a strange creature for Lin Wu and he didn't know how the Olive Viper king had brought her here.

"Where is she?" Lin Wu asked.

"She moved away from the territory before Master started to attack." The beetle beast answered.

"No wonder I didn't see her there." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"What do you want us to do with her then, master?" The beetle beast asked.

"Send her to the tomb, I'll talk with her." Lin Wu replied.

"Alright, master." The beetle beast said.

"Hmm… the club tailed lizard… wonder what happened to the eggs. I didn't see her or the eggs back when I fought the Olive Viper King. Did she know something was going to happen and move away?

But if she did that, how did she know that I was going to attack?" Lin Wu wondered.

~shua~

A few screens appeared in front of Lin Wu and he quickly went through them, observing the work that his servants were doing. In some of them, he could even see the other subordinates of his servants as well.

"Hmm… they have certainly increased their numbers by a lot. How many is it now? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand?" Lin Wu didn't exactly know.

Unknowingly, Lin Wu had gathered a rather large number of beasts under his banner. While they were a bit inept and inefficient that's humans at work, they were at least far easier to convince.

To humans, Lin Wu would have to offer better resources and all before they would agree. But for these beasts, as long as Lin Wu was stronger than them and had a superior bloodline, they would follow his orders.

Such was the law of the jungle and it reigned supreme even among the humans. It was just that it was often hard to see for a lot of people, as the ones controlling were too far up at the top.

They wouldn't even know that their lives were in the hands of another person and they could be culled at any time.

Report chapter

Lin Wu waited about half an hour before the Club tailed lizard finally appeared at the entrance of the Taiji Celestial's tomb. Lin Wu didn't really have enmity with the Club Tailed Lizard and thus didn't need to fight him; unless of course, she attacked him first.

'I did kill her mate and now she's alone with eggs… Damn, I turned her into a single mother.

But then… she is quite a strong mother being at the Nascent soul realm, she shouldn't really have any problems.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

On the monitor screen, Lin Wu could see the Club Tailed Lizard who was carrying the eggs on her back. They were perfectly snuggled on her slightly concave back.

"No wonder people in the past preferred Club Tailed Lizards as a mount. Their bodies are perfect for it. And seeing the speed, they aren't that slow either." Lin Wu said after observing for a bit..

He could see the Club Tailed Lizard looking around in slight confusion. It was obvious since the entrance of the Tomb was the same as before, with the bones of dead beasts piled around. To the Club Tailed Lizard, this was highly suspicious and anyone would think like this.

"Hmm… perhaps I should think of renovating the entrance a bit. Though this also helps in giving off a bit more powerful appearance." Lin Wu muttered to himself before ordering the system to teleport the Club Tailed Lizard inside.

~shua~

The Club Tailed Lizard suddenly found runes appearing around her and then found her body to be weightless. Then in the next moment, she found herself in a large hall that was lit up with white lights that floated in the air.

Her spirit sense spread around anxiously, trying to get a sense of the area in front of her. It was now that she felt something in the front and she looked up.

"You… are you the Beast that killed the Olive Viper King?" The Club Tailed Lizard asked.

Lin Wu who had just appeared, nodded his head.

"Yes, I did indeed. I am the one that killed your mate." Lin Wu replied.

Lin Wu could see the anxiety within the eyes of the Club Tailed Lizard and wondered if she was angry with him for killing her mate.

"GOOD!" The Club Tailed Lizard said, surprising Lin Wu.

"Huh? Good?" Lin Wu said in confusion.

"THAT BASTARD IS FINALLY DEAD! GOOD RIDDANCE!" The Club Tailed Lizard cursed.

Lin Wu was now truly confused and didn't know why the Club Tailed Lizard was behaving like this.

"You didn't like him? I thought he was your mate?" Lin Wu questioned.

"What Mate!? He forced me to move here and made me his mate. I didn't even want this." The Club Tailed Lizard answered.

"Huh… didn't expect that…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

"So… what did you want to talk about?" Lin Wu asked.

"I just want a place to live in till my eggs hatch. After that, I'll go back to my land." The Club Tailed Lizard spoke.

"Just that?" Lin Wu asked.

"Yes. This place isn't fully safe because of the other Nascent soul realm beast kings. Plus… there is something ominous in this forest." The Club Tailed Lizard replied.

"Something ominous? What do you mean?" Lin Wu questioned, finding it to be strange.

"I've always had a sense for danger. It is also why I knew something was going to happen to the Olive Viper King and I moved away before that." The Club Tailed Lizard replied.

'So that's why… that's a handy ability to have…' Lin Wu thought.

"But what's ominous here?" Lin Wu asked again.

"In the center of the forest, I think you all call it the Dark Bloom Taverns. There is something there… I do not know what, but it is terrifying and ominous. If it were not for my eggs, I would have left on my own already." The Club Tailed Lizard replied.

"I see…" Lin Wu said, taking note of this 'ominous' thing in the Dark Bloom Cavern.

There were very few things in the Dark Bloom Cavern that Lin Wu knew of. He wondered what it could be that was ominous. At first, he wondered if it was the Twin Lights Liger King but then shook his head as he was just a beast king.

Though Lin Wu reckoned that the Twin Lights Liger King should probably know something and even Zhu Tianying had said that the Liger King was the oldest beast here and knew a lot more.

But in addition to this, Lin Wu knew one other thing that others did not; the Dark Bloom Caverns also contained the main power source of the Taiji Celestia's tomb. Lin Wu wondered if this was linked with that as well.

Even the system did not know what the power source exactly was, despite being connected to the formation array of the tomb. After learning this though, Lin Wu decided to be a bit more cautious in dealing with the Dark Bloom Caverns and even the Twin Lights Liger King.

Having thought of all this, Lin Wu looked at the Club Tailed Lizard and spoke.

"Alright, I can agree with all the conditions. You can stay in one of the halls in the Tomb, and just tell me when you want to leave." Lin Wu replied.

"Okay." The Club Tailed Lizard replied.

Lin Wu's gaze went over the eggs and he felt the bloodline within them.

"Those eggs, they have a similar bloodline to me. Yet they are different." Lin Wu spoke.

~Sigh~

"As much as I would have not wanted, my offspring will have the bloodline of that snake. I hate him, but I cannot hate my offspring. Half of them are my bloodline, anyway." The Club Tailed Lizard replied.

"I understand… but why did the Olive Viper King want you to be his mate and where did he even find you?" Lin Wu asked the question that had been plaguing his curiosity for a while now.

Report chapter

Hearing Lin Wu's question, the Club Tailed Lizard spoke.

"The Olive Viper King was unable to have any more offsprings." The Club Tailed Lizard stated.

"Why's that?" Lin Wu questioned, wondering if it was because of the reason he had thorough previously as well.

"His bloodline is strange… or rather, yours is too. It is simply too strong for normal beasts to give birth to his offspring. He was additionally restricted by the beasts that could even mate with him.

He thus wandered around and somehow found me in my land. He fought me, broke my tail, and beat me into submission. He then said he wanted me to bear his offspring, and I had no other choice but to do it." The Club Tailed Lizard answered..

"So it really was that…" Lin Wu muttered to himself; his assumption had been correct.

He then looked at the Club Tailed Lizard and spoke again, "and what is your land that you speak of?" Lin Wu questioned.

He himself had known about the area from the system's data but wanted to know it from the Club Tailed Lizard itself.

"I come from the great forest from the east of the millennium forest. There are mountains and hills beyond this forest to the east, and then come some plains, after which finally my land start." The Club Tailed Lizard answered.

"And how long does it take for one to go there?" Lin Wu questioned.

"It took us three months to reach this place," The Club Tailed Lizard answered.

"Three months huh… according to that, the Olivie Viper King should have left about six to seven months ago… just around the time that I had left as well…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Seeing Lin Wu go silent, the Club Tailed Lizard waited for a minute.

"Is that all?" the Club Tailed Lizard asked. "I need to put the eggs in a warm area." She added.

"Sure, you can head off now." Lin Wu permitted.

~shua~

He waved his tail, making runes appear around the Club Tailed Lizard.

"This will take you to a hall where you can stay. The hall will stay warm on its own so you won't need to worry about that part." Lin Wu said as the Club Tailed Lizard teleported away.

Once the Club Tailed Lizard was gone, Lin Wu sighed to himself and looked at the notification that had been hanging at the edge of his vision.

"Alright system, begin the process for the Bloodline upgrade." Lin Wu ordered.

~DING~

Lin Wu felt his body get heavy and his eyelids close. He instinctively coiled up and closed his eyes before falling asleep. The ambient flow of his body also dimmed down considerably and eventually turned dark completely.

It stayed in this state for a few hours before the change started. Different parts of his body would flier occasionally and some parts would get distorted. The change was rather slow and the parts that changed were mere fractions of a fraction.

What Lin Wu didn't know was that once he woke up, he would be experiencing a great change, not only in himself but also in the world around him.

While Lin Wu entered his slumber, far from the Millennium forest, to the east; a different man woke up from his own.

~Groan~

The man groaned and opened his eyes. His body felt sore and his limbs felt heavy, yet he knew he needed to wake up. He didn't know why, but he felt very anxious and a hint of fear spread through his mind.

The man was in tattered clothes, with most of his torso bare at this point. There were wounds on his body that had healed, but the scars would remain there for a long time. His face was also a bit rugged and a few scars dressed his face as well.

While he had a handsome face before, the scars only added more to his charm. This man was none other than Ji Shirong of course, the person whom with which Lin Wu had traveled as an Immortal weapon.

Lin Wu had healed him and had left him hidden in the cave, as he thought it would be time to part with him. Since the mission that Shirong was assigned was over, it was time for him to leave and wait out for the rewards later.

"Where… am I?" Shirong muttered as he looked around.

The area around him was rather dark and only a faint light could be seen coming from one of the sides. He focused his eyes, and they adjusted to the darkness.

~Crackle~

A few sparks appeared around his body, illuminating the area, which allowed him to see that this was a cave.

"How did I get here? No… where was I before this?" Shirong wondered.

A spent a few minutes thinking and then finally all the memories came rushing back.

"ARGH!" Shirong shouted out in pain as his head felt like it was being split in two.

All the memories and pain he had felt before came rushing back and forced him to fall unconscious again.

~THUD~

His body fell back on the ground, knocking up some dust. More time passed and Shirong moved again.

This time though, he opened his eyes rather calmly and it had a dead look in them.

"I almost died… that skull god… he tried to take over me… but what happened after that?" Shirong had managed to link up the memories till here.

But the more he tried to remember, the more difficult it got for him.

'What's this… thing in my memories? It's like a mountain stopping me from going ahead.' Shirong thorough to himself.

Having thought of this, he decided to take a different approach. He tried to recall the memories before the end ones and thought a bit more.

"THE IMMORTAL CRYSTAL ARMAMENT! WHERE IS IT!?" Shirong let out anxiously.

He quickly checked the ring on his hand and took a breath of relief.

Report chapter

Seeing the Immortal Crystal Armament still in his spatial storage ring brought great relief to Shirong.

Alas, he was about to discover something that would hurt him more.

"At least you are there…" Shirong muttered and withdrew the Immortal Crystal Armament.

~shua~

The Immortal Crystal Armament appeared in his hand, but upon holding it he found it to be very strange. He didn't feel it to be linked with him anymore.

"What… what happened to the spear?" Shirong said, feeling bewildered.

He tried to pour his spirit Qi into it but was unable to do anything. No matter how much spirit Qi he added to the immortal crystal armament, it simply absorbed it but didn't respond to his commands.

.

Shirong then used his spirit sense, which felt hard to use. For some reason, while he was still able to use his spirit Qi with little problems, his spirit sense felt very heavy. It was like his spirit sense was now an iron chain while before it was a string made of cotton.

Still, he forcibly used it and made contact with the Immortal Crystal Armament. And when he did so, he felt another rush of memories coming from the spear. These were lighter memories though and didn't cause him any distress.

"What is all this!" Shirong couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the memories.

These memories were of course, fabricated and planted by Lin Wu himself. Plus, the spear that Shirong held in his hand was just a replica made from his body's crystal. It didn't have any real functions other than being able to hide from any external interference.

From the memories that Shirong got, he learned of what had happened. He saw the Skull god trying to take over his body and saw the Immortal Crystal Armament resist it. He too was struggling and had a few fragments of this memory left in his mind.

This just helped him clear those memories up and he could confirm that those things really happened. He then saw the Immortal Crystal Armament taking a drastic step. It seemingly used some mysterious technique to forcefully banish and seal the Skull god again.

But doing this damaged the Immortal Crystal Armament greatly, and it entered into its sealed state again. At this point, Shirong still felt a little pleased as this meant that he would be able to awaken it again.

But when the latter memories appeared, he found them to be strange. These memories contained the thoughts of someone else, which Shirong eventually linked to the Immortal Crystal Armament's own thoughts.

'So it really was sentient all this time… it was just limited in what it could do at that level…' Shirong thought to himself.

He then saw the uncertain emotions on the memories of the spear and that it was far more damaged than normal. It was such that it would have no other way to heal but to just stay dormant and absorb the 'natural energies of the world'.

Shirong didn't know what these 'Natural Energies' were but guessed that it might be a different kind of an energy that only cultivators above the Immortal realm would be able to sense.

~Sigh~

"So I'll have to wait for you…" Shirong muttered to himself.

He sat back down and sank into his thoughts about what to do next. A lot of his plans of domination were dependent on the Immortal Crystal Armament as it would have allowed him to gain strength far faster than normal.

But after a few hours, Shirong realized he hadn't necessarily lost everything.

"I still have the spear intent I comprehended, that move I learned from the spear, the skills I mastered and the spirit Qi control that was enhanced. If I can master these all further, I'll be able to learn even more and come out stronger.

That's right! I just need to persevere and by the time the Immortal Crystal Armament wakes up, we'll be ready to take on the world!" Shirong proclaimed.

In the span of few hours, Shirong had gone from despair to a newfound determination. If Lin Wu were here, perhaps he would wonder if this was the difference between the average cultivator and an 'expert'.

Perhaps it was even the Young master identity of Shirong that played as an advantage for him. Whatever it may be, but Shirong now started to revise his plans and charted out what problems he had now.

"I need to get to the clan first of all and declare the truth about the death of uncle Quan. Then I need to inform the clan of the Skull god and how he is a threat to all of us." Shirong muttered.

This was also why Lin Wu had let him think that the Skull god was merely sealed and not banished from this world. Lin Wu wanted Shirong to raise his clan in opposition to the Skull god, which was notorious for controlling others.

And using this aspect, Lin Wu would have a sharp sword that would kill whatever he pointed at in the future. Of course, this was part of Lin Wu's own grand plan and would come in function far in the future.

"Oh, and you elder sister… you will pay for what you have done…" Shirong said as his eyes shone in a dangerous light.

He had not forgotten that his sister was involved in hypnotizing him and also kidnapping his subordinates. They were still missing and there were no traces of them for a while now.

The best thing Shirong could do was to return to his clan and take his position as the heir before mounting his offense. After all, his sister and perhaps his other siblings had already started opposing him.

But while they had done that, they had also kept it a bit secret and indirect. Thus, Shirong would have to take a similar approach as well, keeping the laws of the Ji Clan in mind.

Of course, if he knew that his sister had sent a spy to follow him around, perhaps Shirong would have made a different decision.

Report chapter

Shirong thought in deep and stayed in the cave for a few more days. This was to figure out his plans and also to stabilize his condition.

Even if he had woken up, his body was still reeling from the lingering trauma. It was more of a non physical shock and it would take a while to heal on its own. This was something Lin Mu and even the system had not thought of.

Shirong used some pills to recover faster and ended up spending ten days in the cave. But after that time, he had recovered fully and was almost in his optimum state. The only problem was the mental block, which he was still unable to get rid of.

"I'll have to talk to ancestor about this… only he might know what it is exactly is." Shirong muttered to himself.

He then stood up from the floor and walked to the only source of light in the cave.. This was the entrance of the cave, which was blocked by a boulder. Shirong didn't know how the Immortal Crystal Armament managed to do all this, but he knew that it cost the spear heavily.

~Sigh~

Letting out another sigh, Shirong looked at the boulder.

~BOOM~

~THUD~

Shirong then kicked the boulder, letting out a little frustration. The heavy boulder shot forward and flew off the side of the mountain before falling to the bottom with a loud thud.

~Roar~

~Chirp~

~cry

The sounds of agitated and startled beasts could be heard, as they had a rather rude awakening from the fallen boulder. A few unfortunate beasts had also managed to get crushed underneath the boulder along with a lot of trees.

Shirong though, could care less about it and flew out. He didn't even know where he was, thus the first thing he did was to get a grasp of his surroundings. His spirit sense spread around and observed everything.

After the ten days of recovery, Shirong's spirit sense worked like normal and it was no longer strenuous for him. In fact, he realized that his spirit sense had even grown by a little. He didn't know how but didn't question it, just grateful that he got something out of it.

"Hmm… this area doesn't seem familiar. No signs of humans either, mostly just beasts." Shirong muttered to himself, having seen the area.

He then picked a direction and hoped that he would reach a familiar area. Shirong thus traveled for about an hour and found an area that he recognized.

"Huh? Those hills… I'm near the Ivory Heron Dynasty?" Shirong said in shock.

While he knew that he was no longer in the Dread Coil Marsh, he didn't know where he exactly was. He was surprised that the Immortal Crystal Armament had managed to take him this far despite the fact that he was unconscious.

"I need to get to the capital and learn what exactly happened…" Shirong muttered.

'No wait, before that,' Shirong looked at his appearance.

He was still in the tattered robes and was covered with dirt and dust.

"I need to clean up." Shirong said as he looked around for some water.

He soon found a lake nearby where he took a bath. But while he was taking a bath, he found something weird about the lake.

"Why is the depth of this lake so even at some points?" Shirong discovered.

It was like some had manually dug out channels below the water and when Shirong spread his spirit sense around, he found that they formed an exact square.

"Truly strange…" Shirong said, unable to find a reason behind it.

Unknown to him, this lake was the same place where Lin Wu had hidden the platform at. Once Shirong was all clean, he put on some new robes and flew towards the capital city of the Ivory Heron dynasty.

He reached there after a few hours and directly went to meet the one person who could answer him directly, Yu Guowei. Shirong went to the administrator's office but surprisingly the man wasn't there.

"Where did he go?" Shirong wondered.

He took out his communication jade slip and tried to contact him only for him to get no response. Shirong furrowed his brows as he got a bad feeling about this. His spirit sense spread around, but he couldn't find the man anywhere nearby either.

"Let's see if I can ask someone," Shirong muttered and quickly found the clerk who was responsible for Yu Guowei's meetings and other minor works.

"Where is Yu Guowei?" Shirong asked directly.

The clerk who was busy writing down some documents looked up in irritation. He felt displeased that someone would disturb his work and even ask something of him with such a disrespectful attitude.

But when he saw who had just spoken, his heart dropped and he almost let out a Welp.

"It's… it's you… senior Shirong!" The clerk recognized.

He had seen Shirong meet with Yu Guowei before and also knew just how much respect the man showed him. While he didn't know of Shirong's true identity, he could tell that that the man had a great importance, not to mention the spirit Qi fluctuation that were coming off his body placed him at the Nascent Soul realm.

Neither of these two things were something he could take lightly and thus he quickly perked up.

"Tell me where Yu Guowei is," Shirong repeated.

"Lord Yu is at the royal palace. He has not returned for the past week and has been there the entire time." The clerk answered hurriedly.

Hearing this, Shirong was confused. While it was normal for Yu Guowei to go to the royal palace, as he was an administrator and had a higher rank than most officials. It was highly unusual for him to stay there for such a while.

It would make sense for other guests to stay there, but not for an administrator like him.

"Why so long?" Shirong asked.

"Huh? Senior, you don't know what happened?"

Hearing the tone of the clerk, Shirong was a bit baffled.

'Could it be related to the marsh as well? Did the news spread about it?' Shirong wondered.

"No, what happened? I haven't been here for a while." Shirong questioned.

"The entire Ivory Heron Dynasty, Bing Kingdom and Burrow Light kingdom are in an uproar. The Dread Coil Marsh is burning and has become an area of absolute death." The clerk answered.

Hearing this, Shirong was convinced that something truly problematic happened while he was unconscious. It was either the doing of the Immortal crystal armament or the skull god.

Even though the spear had given him some memories, they weren't fully intact and some parts of them were still fragmented for him. This was intentionally done by Lin Wu, as giving a concrete set of memories was only asking to get found out.

There were bound to be inconsistencies between the fabricated memories and reality, and thus it was best to keep things vague. These fragments allowed Shirong to form his own opinions and conveniently fill in those gaps.

"How did that happen?" Shirong questioned.

"We do not know that… or at least the commoners don't. The king, his ministers and advisers are discussing about it. There are even envoys from the other two kingdoms here to join in on the meetings." The clerk answered.

"I see… very well," Shirong said before abruptly leaving.

The clerk was left standing for a few seconds before he took a breath of relief and sat back down. He pushed out the excess thoughts and got back to work. The current workload for him was even higher since the administrator was not here and he could not afford to slack off.

Shirong who had left the administrator building, didn't go to the royal palace. Rather, he decided to understand the ground reality among the commoners first.

'It would be problematic if I barged into the royal place and demanded to speak with Yu Guowei. Besides, there is still my sister and the others. Who knows if they have spies here as well.' Shirong thought to himself.

Having done that, Shirong walked around the city listening to the words of the commoners. He could hear a variety of conversations and eventually, he found a few that were what he wanted to hear.

Shirong was currently sitting in a common tavern, and there were many other patrons in the establishment. They ranged from commoners all the way to some middle level official of the city.

"Can't believe something even worse could happen in that god forsaken place." One of the men sitting at a table away from Shirong spoke.

"I know, right? Dread Coil Marsh was already an area where humans seldom entered and now it has just become a burning hell." Another man spoke.

"Who knows what's happening around these days. There is surprising news every day. The other day I even heard that the Frozen cloud sect has taken up a new chief disciple who is greatly talented." A plump woman dressed in dark blue robes said with a sigh.

"We used to call that place hell to enter, and now it's literally hell. Hahah! It suits it. There was nothing worth there, anyway." Another man joked.

"Wonder how it happened, though. It was all of a sudden, too. One day it was fine and then there was fire blazing everywhere. My father's half brother's sister-in-law's son lives in the Burrow light kingdom and he said the people there have no idea either." The first man wondered.

"Yeah, it's confusing. Some people even said that some strong beast appeared there and caused devastation. Can you imagine how ridiculous that sounds?" Another person spoke, catching Shirong's attention.

Report chapter

Hearing about a beast, Shirong suspected that this rumor might be the one closest to the truth. While he could not confirm the words of any commoner, since he had been there himself, he could understand the similarities between beasts.

'But even those strange skull faced beasts that were the servants of that skull god didn't use fire. Was it truly even caused by fire or was it some other spirit tool?' Shirong wondered.

Shirong even wondered if it was none other than the Immortal Crystal Armament that did it but then realized that it was not possible. While the spear could definitely produce heat enough to burn things, it wasn't something that would linger on and continue to burn an area.

"Hah! A beast? Do they think beasts that are this strong can just be found anywhere? It's probably just some random explosion that caused the fires. Didn't you know something similar happened back in the Ling Kingdom?

A meteor fell near it in the Millennium forest and destroyed the entire area while even creating pits of lava. Back then, people didn't dare get close and waited some time. Perhaps the situation with the Dread Coil Marsh is the same." A map said after downing a cup of wine..

Hearing this, Shirong raised his brows as it was a matter closely related to him. But this also reminded him of the devastating potential of the Immortal Crystal Armament.

'No, wait… I haven't explored all of the powers of the Immortal Crystal Armament yet. Perhaps those flames were one of those abilities that I had been unable to unlock.' Shirong wondered to himself.

"Hang on, that does seem rather similar!" A younger woman who had been silent all this time exclaimed.

"I've heard that the area where the meteorite crashed also became a forbidden zone. In the case of the Dread Coil Marsh, it was already a forbidden area and now there is just no chance or survival there.

Plus the Dread Coil Marsh is very vast, spanning across three kingdoms. Who knows if it truly was a meteorite that fell and changed the area like this. A meteorite like that would be easily hidden from out eyes." The young woman continued.

Somehow Shirong realized that all the conversations were somehow either linking back to him or the Immortal Crystal Armament. These were not terms that he was comfortable with and didn't like others takings about him either, even if they didn't know his true identity.

And thus, Shirong decided to take his leaven thinking that he had had enough for the day.

~cling~

He placed a few coins on the table before leaving the establishment.

'This won't be enough, I need to see what the others think of…' Shirong thought to himself.

He thus wandered among the commoners for a few more hours, listening to their conversations, their thoughts, and their goals. It was somewhat of a learning experience for Shirong and he bided his time.

Shirong did this for about six hours, after which a bell was rung in the royal palace. The few commoners that were around to observe the signs were shocked by hearing the strange sound.

"It's the King! He has an official decree!" One of the younger cultivators spoke.

To them their king was massively strong and there was no chance that he would face any deathtraps. And this their coincidence was rather elated. Unfortunately for them, the reality couldn't be farther than the truth.

Shirong also moved to the site of the announcement, along with the other commoners. He could see that several advisers were standing there, and the King stood high up in the palace gallery that the man used to entertain his delivers.

~chatter~

The sounds of people talking and chattering spread throughout the area as they waited for this king to speak.

"Silence!" One of the ministers said out loud while suppressing the people around him.

~gulp~

Sensing the aura and pressure from the man, Shirong truly was shocked.

"My people! Today… I bring you some grave news," the king spoke.

He waited for a bit and finally spoke.

"And in this, there is a chance we might be in great danger. But I have no option other than waiting for the follow up. Unless we figure out the beast that caused this fire, little would come out of this." The king of the Ivory Heron dynasty spoke.

~gasp~

Many shocked gasps came out of this as the people were appalled. To them, the kingdom was the umbrella that would hold up the rain, but now it was telling them no and that it could not help them.

Of course, along with the commoners, there were also some nobles and aristocrats around the area. Even if the commoners had questions, they might not be ableable to ask the king directly, but to the aristocrats, it was not that big of a deal.

"My king… what of the other two nations, the Burrow Light Kingdom and the Bing Kingdom?" one of the aristocrats asked.

"They are in an even greater dilemma than us. At least for us, we didn't face any direct loss of life. But in the case of the Bing Kingdom, an entire major city of theirs was destroyed.

There were traces of similar flames being used and even one's blood, which confirmed that it was surely a beast. So we can assume that these two incidents are linked and are perhaps from the same beast as well.

As for the Burrow Light kingdom, they are on tenterhooks since they don't just have to deal with one Strong beast, but two. There was an expanse of hills near the border of the Bing Kingdom and the Burrow light kingdom and it now is filled with water.

The mountain peaks have become islands and the ground there was fully hidden beneath tens of meters of water." The king of the Ivory Heron Dynasty explained.

"My king… do we have an idea about what kind of a beast they might be if they can cause something like this?" someone among the audience asked.
