Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 360 - The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's Dao Shell?

"You need to get here! We'll escape!" Lin Wu shouted.

"Escape? Did you find the next clue?" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle asked while flapping her flaming wings.

~Sizzle~

The flames of the Vermillion bird interacted with the pillars of water managing to evaporate half of them, letting her escape.

"Yes, I got the Stone feather that is needed to activate the platform again!" Lin Wu replied hurriedly.

~piiiii~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle let out a cry in response an tried to get away from the Aquadream Sea Lotus.

But then… 

~boom~

~boom~

~Boom~

More water pillars burst from the ground, blocking her path. The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle tried to fly over them to escape it, but was stopped from this by the Aquadream Sea Lotus. Whenever she tried to ascend further in the sky, jets of water would stop her. 

The water jets were strong and could injure her as well. Plus, she didn't know how many she would be able to bear at once, while also fighting back. 

"How did this creature get here?!" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle asked, feeling frustrated.

"The stone feather was apparently taken by its offspring. When I went to get it, this thing appeared." Lin Wu said, twisting the facts.

Lin Wu did not want to piss off the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle by telling her that the only reason why the Aquadream Sea Lotus attacked him was that he was curious and went to explore.

Lin Wu had already gotten the Stone feather from the nest that the Copper Hide Weasel had made and if he returned right after that's perhaps nothing of this sort would have happened. But there was no medicine for regret and this was the best he could do to remedy the situation.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle furrowed her brow feathers upon hearing that all of this was caused due to the Aquadream Sea Lotus.

"YOU DARE STEAL MY BLOODLINE'S KEY?!" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle yelled, fully convinced that it was the Aquadream Sea Lotus that was at fault.

~PIIIIIII~

Another loud cry was let out by the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle as her body started to glow in a bright red light. Even Lin Wu had a hard time seeing anything and his radiation perception was blinded too because of the sheer amount of thermal radiation in the air.

By the time he adjusted the sensitivity of radiation perception, the scene in front of him had changed. Out of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's body, a red colored orb appeared. This orb was translucent and a unique sigil could be seen on it. Though half of the orb seemed to be thicker than the other half.

The sigil on the orb was that of the Vermillion bird and glowed periodically while letting out a powerful aura. 

"The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's Dao Shell!" Lin Wu realized what it was.

Seeing the state of the Dao shell could tell that the Dao Shell was at the Shell genesis stage and was half complete. Once it was fully complete, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle would reach the Shell completion stage and if it wanted to, would be able to directly form a Dao Embryo.

Upon the appearance of the Dao Shell, the spirit Qi in the environment became even more chaotic than before. The Dao Shell started to rapidly absorb the spirit Qi as the  Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle's flames became intense.

~piiiii~

"You shall not live! Even I can't kill you now, I swear upon the honor of the vermilion bird that I will kill you in the future!" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle declared with fury in her eyes.

To her, the Aquadream Sea Lotus had touched the one thing she treasured, her very bloodline itself. Thus there was no way the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle could let this entire thing go and now considered the Aquadream Sea Lotus her enemy.

Watching all this, Lin Wu didn't know what to think.

'I think I may have changed the plot way more than it should have…' Lin Wu secretly thought.

~SWOOSH~

Still, the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle using her Dao Shell had increased her power greatly and actually managed to push back the Aquadream Sea Lotus a little bit. The water pillars that were trapping her were also evaporated under the heat of the Dao Shell.

The sigil on the Dao Shell was hot like the sun, and anything that came near it would be reduced to ashes. This was something that was unique to the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle and not many other beasts could have a bloodline sigil like this.

Even the Aquadream Sea Lotus did not have a sigil like that on its Dao Shell. One could only imagine if the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was able to restrain the Aquadream Sea Lotus temporarily, what would she be able to do once she was in the Dao Treading Realm as well.

Seeing that the Aquadream Lotus was being pushed back, Lin Wu got to completing his plan. 

~SKREEE~

The Aquadream Sea Lotus let out a shriek that seemed to be filled with unwillingness. While the creature could not speak, from what Lin Wu had seen till now, it certainly did have a certain level of intelligence. Even if it was lower than that of the average Nascent Soul realm beast, or perhaps even a Core Condensation realm beast.

"Quick! Come to the platform." Lin Wu shouted as he inserted the stone feather with the three veins into the tray.

~Heng~

The formations of the platform suddenly became active and the platform let out a glow.

"Return now! The platform will leave any second." Lin Wu urged the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.

~Piiiii~

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle let out one last screech as she let out a torrent of flames. The flames evaporated a large chunk of the sea, letting her finally escape.
