Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1030 The Calamity Fiend’s Debut In The Hu Continent

Having learned about the schemers from the Wandering Head Bandit, Lin Wu decided it was time to make a return.

As much as he would like to drop in at the duke's place, Lin Wu still needed to get a few things in order first.

~DING~

NOTIFICATION: 12 Dao Shell realm cultivators detected!

NOTIFICATION: 1 Dao Treading realm cultivator detected!

MAP: Updated!

It was at this point that the system sensed several new people appearing at the edge of the city. Lin Wu looked at the map and saw they rapidly approaching their location.

"I guess it's time to leave now." Lin Wu spoke, realizing that these might be the people that Hu Peiliang and Hu Shui had sent.

"How will we do that? They have set up a barrier array in advance. The people who have just arrived are in charge of supporting it." The Wandering Head Bandit had also sensed the new people at this time.

"You don't have to worry about that." Lin Wu said before a powerful aura rose from him.

The Wandering Head Bandit who felt it almost collapsed.

'Its not just coming from him… its coming from everywhere!' the Wandering Head Bandit couldn't understand why.

Normally the aura or even spirit Qi waves should come from a single source. But in the current case it looked like the very earth was erupting with it.

'Just how strong is he? He's not at the Dao Shell realm at all, is he? And this doesn't seem to be the Dao Treading realm either… Immortal Ascension realm them?' the Wandering Head Bandit couldn't wrap his head around it.

He wasn't the only one feeling this either as the people stationed around the tea shop were experiencing it too. In fact to them, it was as if a storm was whipping up.

Winds swirled around the tea shop, turning into a vortex.

"EVERYONE GET BACK!" The guards ordered knowing that the situation was getting out of hand.

~SHUA~ SHUA~ SHUA~

Several new cultivators appeared at this point. Their spirit Qi fluctuations were stronger than the guards, making them feel a bit relived.

"Retreat and form a second perimeter a kilometer from here." The man at the Dao Treading realm spoke.

"Yes, sir!" The guards replied without even caring who the person was.

They had been informed that some experts will be coming to help them eventually and thus there was no reason for them to bother about it. Besides, there was nothing more they wanted than to get away from here as soon as possible.

To them, the longer the stayed here, the more danger they felt. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋ｎ૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

~RUSTLE~

~SHATTER~

But before they couldn't even begin their plan something unthinkable happened. The vortex spinning around the tea shop let out a burst of energy that expanded in the blink of an eye.

"WHAT!?" The Dao treading realm expert shouted.

"Senior! The array has been broken! It's been broken already!" A Dao Shell realm expert rushed to inform.

"How's that possible!? That was a barrier array that could restrain even a Peak Dao Treading realm expert!" The Dao Treading realm senior was stunned.

"We don't know Senior. But the array was broken before we could even do anything. The wind's are directly tearing apart the runes." The Dao Shell realm expert reported.

"Dammit!" The Dao treading realm senior cursed.

He had thought that this mission was a success with all the preparation they had done. Not only had a good amount of resources been poured into this, but a lot of manpower was also used to make sure it worked.

And yet, all this had resulted in a failure.

The Dao Treading realm senior now had to make a hard decision.

He gritted his teeth before making up his mind.

"Forget the original plan! We have to charge in! We cannot let the culprit escape." The Dao Treading realm senior ordered.

"Y-yes." The Dao Shell realm man responded.

"Call everyone over! We are going to ambush them all at once!" The Dao Treading realm senior added.

"At once, senior!"

~RUMBLE~

But they didn't know that this was merely the start of their trouble.

A faint rumbling sound filled their ears, sparking a hint of fear in their minds. It was as if their instincts were whispering to them about the misfortune that was incoming.

~TREMBLE~

But despite that, they simply didn't have enough time to react to it.

The rumbling was only the precursor as the very ground started to tremble and shake.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

Cracks spread all over the area and continued to expand. Within moments, the cracks had turned into fissures that spanned for hundreds of meters.

~Crumble~

~collapse~

The buildings of the city too started to succumb to the disaster, falling into the fissures or simply collapsing to the ground.

Windows shattered, bricks fell, pillars collapsed and roofs crumbled.

No matter where one looked all they could see was a scene of devastation.

And in all this, the cries of the inhabitants could be heard too. The tens of thousands of cries combined into a horrifying echo that will plague the minds of many for years to come.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~ BOOM~

The disaster showed no sign of getting better though as the sound of explosions was heard.

"What is that!?" Several people spotted giant pillars rising from the ground.

These pillars were over fifty meters tall and looked like they were made from bones!

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

More of these pillars kept on rising from the fissures and soon the entire city was dotted with them.

By now the people who were sent to capture the fake Wandering Head Bandit were completely lost. They couldn't understand how a capture missing had turned into something like this.

~SPLAT~

"ARGH!"

"NOO!"

"GET AWAY! GET AWAY!"

In all this, a new set of trouble spread. The people that were around the large bone pillars were stabbed by spikes that had suddenly risen from the pillars.

It was as if the bone pillar knew where everyone was an specifically targeted them.

"RUN! EVERYONE RUN!"

Absolute pandemonium descended on Danching city, marking the day people would dread for centuries to come.

And as if that was not enough the giant bone pillars started to move as well. The ones that were located on the periphery of the city moved inwards, while the one's that were in the middle started to move in a circular path.

If one looked at it from the sky, they would see that the Danching city had over thirty bone pillars dotting it. Twenty of them were located at the periphery and formed an almost perfect circle with the rest of them located between the center and edge of it.

The Dao Treading realm senior watched everything happen with confusion and terror on his face.

~RUMBLE~

The ground shook and cracked as the Bone pillars uprooted everything. Hundreds of lives were reaped in seconds and the number only kept on rising.

The bone pillars kept on sprouting more and more spikes, impaling all those that were nearby. And with how they were moving, the people couldn't escape out of the city either. All of them were being pushed to the center, not even realizing that they were being herded.

~CLACK~CLACK~CLACK~

After a certain distance, the bone pillars gave rise to long spurs that joined up with the other bone pillars. It almost looked like a large wall was forming and the Danching city was being compressed within it.

With the bone wall at the border and the moving bone pillars in the center, it was almost as if the entire Danching city had been turned into a large grinder.

Buildings, roads, humans, beasts, everything was being crushed in it, leaving blood and dust behind.

"I… I can't die here!" The Dao Treading realm senior felt a terror like he had never felt before.

~WHOOSH~ 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

He directly flew up, intending to escape the city that way.

~SHING~

But as if the bone pillars had detected that, a bone spear was launched at him.

The spear traveled at a great speed, and stabbed into the man's leg.

"ARGH!" The Dao Treading realm senior cried in pain, but continued to fly.

He knew he was greatly outmatched here and that Danching city was done for. He didn't care about his duty or responsibilities, all he cared for now was to escape this hell that had risen.

~KABOOM~

And when the man was at the edge of the city, he heard an explosion that was larger than any before.

He turned around and saw a scene he would never forget.

A colossal being rose from the center of Danching city. It towered at over two hundred meters and had a horrifying appearance that sparked the most primal fear in his heart.

Hundreds of tentacles covered the being's body while thousands of teeth filled its gaping maw. Several tens of eyes dotted its 'head' and a bloody aura spread from its entire body.

"What… is… this…"

"People of the Hu continent… Know my name… For I am… THE CALAMITY FIEND!"
