Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

239 Shirong's Nascent Soul Realm Breakthrough?

Shirong was currently bearing the worst kind of pain he had ever experienced. His core was now fully covered with crack and was on the verge of shattering. Even the pale blue color of the core which was caused by the unknown energy was flickering as if it was fading away.

In the real world though, the third fragment of the tribulation lightning had taken out a group of people. Two people among them were on clan head Lu's list but the remaining seven were not.

"Damn, that last bolt was too much. I was able to split the tribulation lightning bolt but could only redirect one of them… the power was just too much this time." Lin Wu said to himself as he took a look at the cracks on his body.

Of the two bolts that had hit Shirong, one had been taken by Lin Wu while the other was taken by Shirong. The bolt had caused Lin Wu's body to develop cracks and his spirit Qi was not fully drained.

He had to draw some from his reserve store and used the vital essence that he had to recover the cracks. Still, it took him much more than he had expected for it.

'Looks like the injuries from tribulation are not easy to heal… especially if it's from someone else's tribulation…" Lin Wu thought.

Both the Elders that were acting as the Dharma protectors and the people in the audience had run far now. They were over ten kilometers away and did not dare to come close.

That last bolt which had decimated nine people had come from over seven kilometers away from Shirong's location. Meanwhile, the tribulation platform, which had taken a month of preparation and many clan's contributions was now utterly destroyed.

The people were now at a loss over what to do. The ones that were the most sad were none other than the elders who had lost their clansmen. In total, twelve lives had been slot today and the people were grieving.

They had not expected something like this to happen, and they wanted to blame someone for it. But in their strange condition, they could not do so. They only had two targets to blame, either Shirong or their own elders.

They could have blamed Shirong for his tribulation, but then it wasn't exactly under his control. While they did find it serious that the tribulation bolts were hitting the members in the audience, they had no idea if something like this was possible.

They could still understand Shirong's armor stopping the lighting and splitting it to let it spread near him. But to get it to specifically target someone was not possible.

If they tried to blame their elders for setting up a shoddy tribulation platform, they would only get scolded and they still knew that it was not true. Some of them had even contributed and taken part in the construction of the tribulation platform and knew how difficult of a task it was.

In the end, they could only blame their luck or the heavens for letting a tribulation like this kill their kin.

Shirong was in a strange state currently. He was flickering between consciousness and unconsciousness, while trying to control himself. The pain from the tribulation lightning had evidently overloaded his senses and made it hard to keep a straight mind.

But then that same pain was the evidence that he was now on the verge of a breakthrough.

~shua~

Rays of light escape from the cracks on Shirong's spirit core as the spirit Qi in the environment became agitated. Soon a vortex of spirit Qi formed around Shirong and his body started to float in the air.

The rays of light coming from his core only got more intense as it finally broke apart.

~shatter~

From within the core, a tiny infant was born. This infant was none other than Shirong's Nascent Soul. But if one looked at it, they would find it to be abnormal. Shirong was still not fully under the control of his mind and thus did not see this change.

While he knew he had broken through, his focus was all over the place. But this was only until the vortex that had formed around him started to pour spirit Qi into his body.

~Huala~

Shirong's body rapidly absorbed the spirit Qi as it was then converted into vital energy by his body and healed the injuries that he had sustained. After his injuries were all healed, he finally gained the full control of his body.

He peered into his Dantian and saw the spirit Qi from the air, pouring into it. It was filling up at a visible rate and the pressure on his meridians increased slightly. He looked at the Infant in his Dantian and saw the features that were similar to him.

The one thing that was different was the Skin color of the infant, which was a pale blue instead of the normal white.

"Did this happen because of the unknown energy too?" Shirong wondered.

Lin Wu had the same question and the answer came to him in the form of the system's notifications.

~Ding~

"Oh! This is good. The system was able to automatically fix and upgrade the back door function. I really thought it was going to be destroyed." Lin Wu muttered to himself.

He looked into Shirong's Dantian as well and saw the Nascent Soul, which was gently floating in the middle of his Dantian. The spirit Qi was still pouring into the Dantian and it was already filled half way through.

Lin Wu watched as Shirong's Dantian was completely filled and the spirit Qi started nourishing the Nascent Soul which was bathed in it.

"This was even more tiring than my own breakthrough…" Lin Wu thought.
