Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 553 - A Proposal And The Twin Lights Liger King



The encounter with the black pair of eyes was certainly unexpected for Lin Wu. While he was expecting conflict, it was with the Twin Lights Liger King and not something like this. 

Lin Wu couldn't even tell what kind of a being it was. It didn't seem like a beast, nor was it a human or a demon. All of the system's scans and searches were coming back empty, and it was at a loss as well.

It was clear that whatever this was; it was not in the system's data bank. Lin Wu carefully observed the being and tried to use his own past life experiences of games and novels to figure out what this being was.

'An evil eye? A floating eye beast? Eye demon? Too many options and they don't look the same. Is it even a cultivator or something else? A demon? No… demons in this world are different.

Then perhaps… it's a manifestation and not a real body?' Lin Wu analyzed in his mind.

The pair of eyes though seemed a bit stunned at Lin Wu's nonchalant answer before this.

"I'll ignore what you said… now tell me if you really want power?" The Pair of eyes asked again.

"I do, what do I have to do and who are you to be able to give me them?" Lin Wu questioned.

I am someone more powerful than you can ever imagine! I have existed for hundreds of thousands of years! I am—" But before the pair of eyes could say anymore, they freezed.

"NOOO! GET AWAY FROM THAT THING!" A voice that sounded like a roar was heard.

Lin Wu's eyes moved again, and he spotted a beast approaching at a fast speed. Its two eyes glowed in two different lights, one being pitch black and the other being bone white in color.

"The Twin Lights Liger King?" Lin Wu recognized.

Lin Wu raised his tail in a defensive gesture, just in case the Twin Lights Liger King was heading towards him, but the beast didn't do that. Instead, it moved to a particular place in the cave and stood in what looked like a formation circle.

~BANG~

It slammed its feet on the ground and shouted, "Suppress!"

~shua~

The formation arrays in the cave all lit up and pressure was exerted from them.

"DAMN YOU! FILTHY BEAST! ONE DAY I'LL KILL YOU!" The pair of eyes shouted from inside the barrier before they were pulled back.

A second later, they had disappeared, and no signs of them could be seen. Lin Wu looked back at the Twin Lights Liger king and found him to be looking rather pale. It seemed as if he had exhausted a lot of energy in a short amount of time and was panting.

This was surprising since he was an Adult Soul Stage Nascent soul realm beast and should have been able to hold for days if not weeks on end.

"What the hell was that?" Lin Wu questioned, the energy ball in his mouth having reached the peak.

"Restrain your Qi! The formations here are unstable and get affected by external spirit Qi!" The Twin Lights liger said instead.

Lin Wu looked at the barrier and then back at the Twin Lights liger king before thinking for a bit and nodding. 

~poof~

The energy ball in his mouth, reduced in size before fizzing away and the surrounding radiation calmed down as well, before retreating back into his body. 

Lin Wu was not afraid of the Twin Lights liger king and thus was fine with reeling in his attack. If he wanted to, Lin Wu was confident in defeating the Twin Lights liger king on his own, with just his body.

After all, he was at the Dao Shell realm now and had little to fear from him.

"Alright, I've done what you said. Now can you tell me what was that and what's going on here exactly?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Sigh~

The Twin Lights liger King looked at Lin Wu for a few seconds before sighing.

"So the day has finally come…" The Twin Lights Liger King said.

"What day?" Lin Wu asked curiously.

"You coming to confront me… and probably investigate this place." The Twin Lights Liger King replied.

Lin Wu was a little surprised at the accurate guess of the Twin Lights Liger King, but then understood that it was something a bit obvious. After all, the Twin Lights Liger King was no naive young beast and had been a ruler for hundreds of years now.

"Hmm, you got that right." Lin Wu stated.

"So, do you want to fight and kill me?" The Twin lights liger king questioned.

Lin Wu looked at the current weak state of the beast and shook his head.

"No… not necessarily. I did originally think that I would have to fight you, but it's certain that you have more to you than just an average beast's thinking." Lin Wu answered.

"I see… you are one of those… beasts that have minds like those of humans. Your thinking is certainly not normal for the beasts of this forest or even beyond it." The Twin Lights Liger King spoke.

Lin Wu was surprised once again by this and was now sure that the Twin Lights Liger King was certainly more experienced than he had thought originally.

"You are pretty similar as well, if I say so myself." Lin Wu replied.

The Twin Lights Liger King simply nodded his head and looked back at the barrier.

"So you want to know about this place?" The Twin Lights Liger King questioned.

"I do indeed." Lin Wu answered.

"But are you prepared to bear the consequences of doing that? Let me tell you that once you know, you will either become shackled to this place or leave it if you are strong enough to resist it.

Do you still want me to tell you that?" The Twin Lights Liger King questioned in a stern voice.

"I do… go on.." Lin Wu said with determination.
