Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 516 - Battle For The Millennium Forest



No one had expected the battle to last this long, and neither had they expected that more than twenty Nascent soul realm beasts would descend into the Millennium forest today. All of them were from the Tapir Tribe and were the same kind of beasts.

Lin Wu had read the information about the Southern Tusk Tapirs by now and had learned that they were highly territorial, and this also meant that they would only move from their land in very specific conditions.

One of the reasons was if a certain Tapir beast was exiled from the tribe but had a lot of subordinates. Then those members would probably follow that tapir beast and occupy land somewhere else.

But it did not seem like that was the case here, since there were over twenty Southern Tapir Beasts here. This led Lin Wu to believe that it may be due to some other reason, and that was the expansion of a tribe.

Sometimes when a tribe got too big, they would not have the necessary area around them that was suitable for living and thus they would look for greener pastures. Souther Tusk Tapirs were strong spirit beasts and needed an equally good area to live in.

And since their old territory already had plenty of other beasts living nearby, they had no choice but to look further. But then, the next closest area that was habitable was none other than the Frozen Cloud sect's territory.

While the sect might not mind a couple of Nascent soul beasts coming to live there as it would just be considered as increasing the sect's value, when tens of them appeared and started to cause trouble while hurting the disciples, they had to take action.

Thus, they could not stay there either and had to escape. Finally, they reached the next best location that was the millennium forest. Hearing that there were just five Rulers that were at the Nascent Soul realm, the tapir beasts thought it was ripe for the taking.

While the Tapir beasts had the quantity, they didn't have as much of a quality on their side. The strength of their members wasn't that high overall with most being at the Child Soul stage or below.

After all, the Nascent soul realm Southern Tusk Tapirs were just the higher ups of their tribe. There were hundreds of other beasts that were at the Core condensation realm and below.

With so many beasts appearing, the ecosystem of the Millennium forest was being flipped basically.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

Lin Wu saw an explosion happening on the northern side of the forest as well.

"Will the Lamp Light Ligers be able to hold the north?" The Gale Wind Sparrow questioned.

"The Twin Lights Liger King will make a move if something gets too troublesome. That is one point we don't need to worry about. Now we only have the south to defend. The east and west are being taken care of by the others." The Slim Arm ape answered as he slammed his fists into the head of a Tapir beast, eliciting an angry grunt from it.

The battle right now seemed to be very intense, but it was actually not a deadly one. If the Nascent soul realm beasts wanted, they could reach a conclusion very soon if they used their full power.

But something like that wouldn't come without its own set of problems. It would be the same as the battle between Lin Wu and the Demon Spine ape. It would progress quickly but both parties would get injured and exhausted at the end.

Plus, the damage to the surroundings would be problematic as well. Not to mention there were many important areas around here.

The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King was especially worried since the eggs that were recently laid were quite nearby. Since the area around the Tomb was the safest in the forest right now due to Lin Wu's presence, the beetle king had decided to use that for the Egg clutches.

But he never expected that trouble like this would be arriving one day. In the past five years, the Insect beasts had a lot of development and even had four more Nascent soul realm beasts among them.

The scorpion beast and several more that Lin Wu had mutated were the ones that had broken through. Plus some of them had already laid eggs and the new offspring that were born from those eggs were stronger than their parents.

This led the beetle king to believe that the power of the insect beasts was now on the rise and he had to do his best to keep it up. Plus, since he was allied with Lin Wu anyway, it was fine to get a bit closer to his territory.

And just to not have any problems, he had even gotten his descendant, who was the servant of Lin Wu to check everything. She was also the one who was taking care of the area and protecting it.

The beetle Beast was fine with it as to her, this was just more servants for her master.

But now in the battle, things were getting strenuous.

"Where is King Lin Wu? Why does he not appear?" The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King questioned.

"Master… is in seclusion." The beetle beast replied as she used her Horn to flip two Tapir beasts into the air.

"He's still in seclusion?! It has nearly been six years now!" The Demon Spine ape who heard it was surprised.

Even he who liked to cultivate and get stronger could not keep up a session that was this long. Perhaps only some of the more older and experienced beasts might have the level of patience needed for that.

The Split Thorn Horn Beetle King's eyes narrowed, and he thought of something.

~Sigh~

"We hold out ground then! We won't let these beasts take over our land!" He shouted and let out a loud screeching cry.

And just as he did that, a strong wave of spirit Qi came from the distance.

"Huh?! It can't be!" The Slim Arm Ape shouted.
