Rise Of The Worm Sovereign – Chapter 700

700 80 Through The Way

Chapter 700: 80% Through The Way

~shua~

Lin Wu used the wind to suck in all the corpses of the elders into his mouth and quickly ground them down before swallowing them. The nascent souls of the elders that were trying to wiggle out of their bodies were quickly eradicated under the power of his stomach.

Lin Wu’s body was pretty much a radioactive Nuclear power plan and continued to produce more of it while also absorbing the ambient radiation from the environment. While it didn’t necessarily increase his cultivation base, it certainly increased his offensive and defensive powers.

While it would not be felt much from the outside, the radiation inside his body was in very high concentration and his digestive system also used radiation as one of the digestive components, allowing him to breakdown pretty much anything that he ate.

Whether it be organic matter, metals, soil, rocks, or anything; if it couldn’t be digested by the normal digestion, it would be bombarded by radiation until it was broken down into something that his body could use.

And if his body couldn’t, the system could still extract it to be used later on. This was also the reason why Lin Wu had no need to poop anymore.

It was one of his greatest achievements and he was really happy when the system told him about it. Till before he reached the Dao Shell realm, it was not fully efficient, and he still needed to poop from time to time, but now there was no need.

Whatever turned into excreta would be further broken down until it turned into smaller compounds. In a way, Lin Wu was pretty much the perfect recycling plant. He had yet to encounter something that he couldn’t digest.

Though according to the system there were plenty of things that could harm him if he ate him, the most obvious ones being a poisons of many kinds. Especially the spirit poisons made from various spirit herbs and beasts that could resist even the radiation long enough for them to affect Lin Wu.

Till now, Lin Wu hadn’t been poisoned that way, but there was always a chance in the future, thus he kept an eye out for it. 

Once Lin Wu ate the Nascent Soul Realm elders, he could feel the spirit Qi surging in his stomach, and once the Dao Shell realm elder was digested, the surge only increased even more.

A few seconds later, several notifications popped up in front of him.

~DING~

“Wooo~ Eighty percent there… just need more elders… though I might be able to speed through with other things as well.” Lin Wu said to himself, feeling the rush.

“Though it’s really fast by consuming others, the feeling of imbalance that comes with its far more apparent now… is this what they mean by an unstable foundation?” Lin Wu muttered to himself.

Even though the system couldn’t detect it clearly, Lin Wu could very well tell the change in his spirit Qi. While it wasn’t exactly ‘impure’, his control over it was a bit erratic. And the more he consumed, the more erratic it got.

He didn’t know how long it would be until his skills would be affected by it as well. So far there was no problem, but there might be in the future. This discovery also made Lin Wu a bit more aware about the flaws of cultivating like this.

‘Since even the system can’t detect these flaws, it only means how deep it goes. There are things that are out of the system’s understanding and it might not be possible for it to ever learn that either…’ Lin Wu pondered to himself.

Lin Wu checked the map which had updated once again and saw that he had pretty much cleared out all three peaks of any good candidates that could be consumed. Two of the peaks were already dead and only one was left, but even that one had just a single elder left and some disciples that didn’t have as good of a cultivation base.

“Hmm…” Lin Wu debated on if he should use the remaining resources to breakthrough or to hold on for a bit longer.

“Best to keep some extra spirit Qi… just in case something problematic happens.” Lin Wu said to himself.

The extra spirit Qi and vital energy he got were useful in healing himself and restoring his stores of spirit Qi. Thus, it was always the best to have some extra.

Other than the notifications for the spirit Qi, Lin Wu had filtered out the rest since he didn’t need them right now. This also included the thousand of vital energy notifications he had gotten over the time.

“Oh, speaking of vital energy… I should have gotten some more. I haven’t checked on that…” Lin Wu said as he opened up the window.

~DING~

——

VITAL ESSENCE OBTAINED: 7,821,126 Units

VITAL ESSENCE STORAGE: 26,148,783 Units -> 33,969,909 Units

——

“Oh, thats a decent increase. Should last me for quite a while.” Lin Wu said.

Unless Lin Wu was injured or taxed his body too much, his vital essence was barely used. Even then, it could regenerate eventually, thus he never had to take any from the storage of the system.

Most of the times he only needed vital essence during sustained fights where he suffered extra injuries or when he was doing some cultivation which ended up injuring himself.

There were even times when the System was testing out some of the simulations it had come up with directly on his body. This would either hurt him or cause some damage, but the system would fix it right away as well.

Often Lin Wu didn’t even know it happened.
