Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Lin Wu already knew that if the two small beasts like the mole beast and the beetle beast could recognize that he was similar to The Olive Viper King, it was obviously one of the rulers of the forest was going to do that too.

The only difference was that the mole beast and the beetle beast had thought him to be the subordinate of the Olive Viper King but the Beetle king could very well tell the difference. He knew that the Olive Viper king ruled over his subordinates with an iron fist and would not let anyone get stronger than him.

"I see. Well, we are indeed related in a way. That is the reason why I'm aiming for him. He has what is rightfully mine." Lin Wu stated, exuding his aura.

The beetle beast could sense the bloodlust in Lin Wu's aura and knew that the beast in front of him was serious about this.

"As long as you are not going to come for my seat, I am fine with it. What you do with the other rulers is none of my business." The beetle beast replied.

"Now, now, don't be like that. You know that the change in the positions of rulers would influent the entire climate of the forest. Currently, the slim arm ape and the Demon spine ape are in advantage due to being related. They are obviously in an alliance." Lin Wu said.

"Hmm… well there's nothing we can do about that can we?" The Beetle beast replied.

"That's true but I do not have a problem with them. The one I have a problem with is the Olive Viper King. I believe when he became the ruler, he caused a lot of havoc and hurt your subordinates too?" Lin Wu questioned.

"That is right." The beetle beast agreed.

"Then, do you not want revenge for it?" Lin Wu asked.

"If I got the chance I would, but I cannot match his strength and his subordinates are stronger than mine too." The beetle king replied.

"Well then, my friend. You are in luck, as I can solve both of those problems." Lin Wu offered.

The beetle king's eyes went wide as he finally realized what the beast in front of him was suggesting.

"You mean to say… we make an alliance too?" The beetle king questioned.

"Yes, but not only that. I will also help your subordinates get stronger… well the ones that are deserving of it and have good potential. I think one of them has already seen the effects." Lin Wu answered.

"My descendant… that was your doing?" The beetle beast asked feeling bewildered.

He had never heard of any beast that could cause another beast to mutate like this. And here Lin Wu was, admitting that the process could be replicated. The beetle king had seen the changes that occurred in the beetle and knew that her potential was greatly increased.

He was even sure that if given enough time, that beetle beast was sure to reach the Nascent Soul realm. The beetle king was the first of his kind to reach the Nascent Soul realm and thus had been looking for someone who could replace him when the time came.

He knew that even if he had reached the Nascent Soul realm, his potential was already exhausted; he did not have much chance of breaking through to the Dao shell realm in his life span. He was over five hundred years old and at the adolescent stage of the Nascent Soul realm, this was already quite an achievement.

He knew that he barely may have a chance of reaching the Adult stage of the Nascent Soul realm and then he would end up exhausting his lifespan there.

'Do we have a chance now? Will my kin have a chance at survival for the long term when I'm gone?' The beetle king thought to himself.

"Yes, I am the one who helped that little beetle progress since she helped me a while back." Lin Wu said.

"Are you sure you can do that again? And will there be any problems?" The beetle king asked.

"Hmm… I know I can do it again but for problems, I do not know. The one thing I know for sure is that the beast needs to be strong to be able to bear the mutation." Lin Wu answered.

"Say if I agree to this proposition… how will the rest of the plan go?" The beetle king questioned.

'Got him! Even Nascent Soul realm beasts are a bit easy to trick compared to humans, huh…' Lin Wu thought.

"Well for now, I just need some information on the whereabouts of the Olive Viper king and what are his strengths and weaknesses. I will formulate the proper plan after getting more details as we may need to involve the Slim arm ape and the Demon spine ape in this too." Lin Wu replied.

"Those two as well? Hmm… the slim arm ape king is a relatively calm beast but his son… he is a battle maniac and now that his bloodline has awakened he will only get worse." The beetle king stated.

"Well, to convince a battle maniac is even easier. All I need to do is to battle and defeat him then." Lin Wu stated, as his eyes glowed with a fierce light.

~gulp~

"I understand. I guess we can proceed for now." The beetle king said.

"That's great! Now then… tell me all you know about the Olive Viper King." Lin Wu replied.

"The olive Viper king lives to the northeastern part of the Sixth ring, at the millennium lake. As for his strengths, he is strong overall. His defenses are quite tough and the last time we fought I was barely able to inflict any injuries on him, as that crystal layer on his back is very strong.

Even his scales are tough to break, but his belly is a bit on the softer side. His fangs are his most powerful weapon, and the venom they spew can melt our hides. As far as I know, even the injuries he got recently were caused by his venom." The beetle king explained.
