Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

The Senior brother and the rest of the cultivators were watching the dead body of their companion that was lying on the ground. It had been bisected in half from the waist and they didn't know how it happened.

They were flying towards the enemy hideout and had just discovered it when this happened. They had planned to surprise and ambush the enemies but now that was not possible as the death of their companion had caused noise that the enemies had detected.

~Shua~

~Rustle~

The trees rustled as the enemies could be heard approaching from the camp. 

"What do we do now? Is he really dead?" The late stage core condensation realm woman asked.

"I doubt it. This is an illusory array and thus it's likely that he is only dead here and has been ejected back into the real world." Senior brother answered.

"Let's hope that is how it is…" Su Wen muttered and readied his sword for a battle.

A few seconds later, twenty soldiers dressed in armor appeared from the trees. The jungle was densely packed with trees which made it easier for people to hide, but once they were found fighting could become difficult. They would have to either take advantage of the close quarters or need to fight in the sky.

"Ha! Take this!" The Senior brother shouted as he spun his Guan Dao in a circle.

This released a wave of energy that cut the trees around them, and along with the three of their enemies were also killed.

"KILL!" The enemy soldiers shouted.

The two mid stage core condensation realm cultivators lunged ahead to fight when suddenly,

~thud~

"Aargh! My arm!" 

An arm had been suddenly cut off out of nowhere. The first one had died because of this too, and they were now scared about how it was being done. But soon the late stage Core condensation realm women realized it.

"It's a formation! There are offensive trap formations set up here!" She said.

Her companions gritted their teeth as they got ready for a tough fight. The fight didn't last long though and they were able to successfully kill all the enemy soldiers.

But their injuries were also quite bad, most of them were covered in cuts and wounds while two more had lost their hands and arms in the battle. The trap formations were almost invisible and gave one barely any time to react.

They created a thin and sharp blade of spirit qi that would manifest close to the intruder and then cut their limbs or bodies apart. 

"How do we continue now?" Su Wen asked while holding on to his bleeding stump.

"I'm gonna use 'that' and kill the entire camp in one go." The Senior brother said.

"You can't! If you die with them, who knows if the trial will allow you to continue or not!" The late stage core condensation realm woman spoke.

"Don't worry, I've got an idea about this trial now. As long as I'm alive even a second after the enemies are dead, I'll be able to pass." The Senior brother replied, veins appearing on his body.

The rest of the cultivators looked on in apprehension, while Lin Wu was interested in what he was going to do. 

"System, record what he is going to do." Lin Wu ordered.

He had a guess that he was going to use a certain kind of technique and didn't want to miss out on it. Real time observation and analysis would help speed up the process of the rest of the cultivation techniques as well.

The senior brother flew on his Guan Dao, looking like a warrior king as his body started releasing more and more waves of spirit qi.

"You meaningless constructs of a formation cannot defeat our determination!" The Senior brother shouted as he flew up above the camp.

The enemy soldiers had already noticed him by now and were running out of the buildings to intercept him. After reaching a certain level of height the senior brother jumped and grasped his Guan Dao.

"Witness the wrath of I the Frozen cloud sect's Inner disciple Wang Xiong! Glacier Crash!" The Senior brother shouted as a wave of freezing air came out of his body.

The cold air started freezing the water in the air and a large ice chunk started to be formed. The ice chunk soon grew larger and larger. Within seconds, it had reached the size of a glacier and started falling towards the camp.

The Senior brother Wang Xiong was now trapped inside the glacier but he was still alive. His skin had frost all over it and snow settled on his bald head. His eyes were bloodshot as he strained in body and overdrawing his spirit qi.

By the time the glacier had reached halfway to the camp, it had reached a size that was at least five times bigger than that of the camp. But this came at a great cost to Wang Xiong. His cultivation base had already fallen to the mid stage of the core condensation realm and it was still falling.

The enemy soldiers wanted to run, but the freezing air coming from the glacier was also making it extremely difficult to move. It was as if their joints were being locked and all they could do was scream in fear.

~BOOM!~

The glacier finally crashed into the camp and flattened it beneath it along with a large area around it. Even the companions of Wang Xiong had to retreat or they would have been affected by the freezing cold air too.

"Senior brother really did it…" Su Wen muttered.

"Yes, he did… and he even brought out the full effect of the qi skill." The mid stage core condensation realm woman said in shock.

"Indeed… we underestimated his skill even now," The grey robed core condensation realm cultivator that was at the late stage spoke.

Lin Wu was impressed by this sacrificial technique quite a bit and was happy that he had let them progress.

"Hmm, I should extract more of their secrets like this…" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
