Rise Of The Worm Sovereign-Chapter 1019 Avatar Feeding Time
"Hopefully these will be enough to provide significant support to the Avatar…" Lin Wu muttered to himself before switching over to the Avatar.
~shua~
The avatar opened its eyes as the tentacles around it swayed.
"Hmmm… I do feel a little stronger in this body." Lin Wu could sense the difference from the last time he was in the body.
The avatar had been cultivating in the underground caves of Tieba city this entire time and was the 'Calamity Fiend' that everyone was fighting against. Lin Wu had managed to blow up the threat quite a bit and now there were battles happening every few weeks.
Though the Shadow Calamity hadn't appeared for quite some time in a battle. It had just been the people of the Shadow Legion that were fighting. But even that was enough to make everyone nervous.
After all, the members of the Shadow legion weren't weak at all and could easily fight those above their cultivation realm. Not to mention they were fearless and would battle till they died.
This made them very dangerous as losing focus for even a second would end up in their deaths.
Then there was the very irritating feature that made them very fearsome.
Upon their deaths, all the Shadow Legion members would explode, taking their attackers with them. This explosion would be quite strong and not many had managed to survive it.
The people of the alliance were still trying to figure out the best method to resist it as it was simply too fast for them to react. For now, the only method they had was to have some life saving method that could take the impactof the explosion. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
Still, this only worked up to a certain limit.
The explosion of a Core condensation realm Shadow Legion member could kill a Nascent soul realm expert, and a Nascent soul realm experts detonation could kill a Dao Shell realm expert.
The alliance could provided various tools and items to make their experts resist this. But this was only unto the Dao Shell realm. If the explosion was stronger than that, they didn't have many options left.
After all, any spirit tool or talisman that could resist the attack of a Dao Treading realm expert was very valuable. Plus, it was hard to make and very few suppliers were in existence.
Of course, there was always the King of the millennium forest who could supply such tools at an astonishing speed. Their cost was also low, and the kingdom and sects were very thankful to Lin Wu for it.
Though what they didn't know was that these were all mass produced and Lin Wu only need an hour or so to make enough of them for an army of ten thousand experts.
There was a lot of trickery involved and the system had greatly contributed in it.
With such an advantage, there was a chance that the Shadow Legion's morale would fall too. Which was why it was important for the avatar to be present in Tieba city.
That way, the members of the Shadow Legion would have their 'leader' with them and they wouldn't lose focus as quickly. Not to mention they could still come and 'talk' to the Calamity Fiend and obtain his 'grace'.
Though Lin Wu also knew that he soon needed to make the Calamity Fiend act up.
'After consuming the copses, it should be good enough time to make an appearance.' Lin Wu thought to himself as he started to eat the beast corpses.
Thirty minutes was all it took for him to finish eating all the corpses. The string of notifications that appeared in front of him were also ignored for the time being as he was just focused on eating.
There were also some spirit herbs that he had obtained in that time. He even ate the rare and unique materials that had obtained during his journey and they were able to contribute to the growth of the Dao Embryo.
"There we go…" Lin Wu finished eating and felt the surge of energy within his body.
~DING~

There were hundreds of Spirit Qi and Vital Essence notifications, which Lin Wu just ignored and focused on the most important ones that had appeared at the bottom.
"Finally!" Lin Wu exclaimed in joy.
His innate skills were the hardest to upgrade and it was especially so for the ones that were a composite skill. The difficulty of upgrading a composite skill was several times higher than that of a normal skill.
After all, it was the same as upgrading multiple skills at once and training them as well.
Thankful Lin Wu had managed to do it for the Chimeric Organogenesis Innate skill.
'Though it does make sense for it to upgraded since I've been using it for a long time. Plus the beasts I ate should have added quite some variation to it.' Lin Wu thought before checking the skill's full window.

"Just as I thought…" Lin Wu was surprised by seeing four new sub skills being added to the Innate skill.
But when he looked at them closely, he was a bit confused.
'Bladder Generation? How did this appear? Shouldn't this already be a part of the Internal Organ Generation?' Lin Wu wondered.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The bladder generation sub skill was specifically created after the host consumed several beasts that have specialized bladders for various functions. This includes the air bladders from aquatic beasts, fluid bladder from the Aqua Dream Ocean Lotus, as well as the spirit Qi bladder of the Qi Sapping ticks.
——
Seeing the system's answer Lin Wu finally understood.
'Though I didn't except the Qi Sapping ticks to have a bladder too… I thought they were using their stomachs to store the spirit Qi. Guess I was just wrong…' Lin Wu thought before taking a look at the Qi sapping tick's data that was in the system's data.
There his doubts were clarified, and he saw the internal anatomy of the Qi Sapping ticks. It turned out that while the Qi Sapping ticks did consume spirit Qi by eating, and it reached their stomachs, it was the next step that was different.
Instead of continuing onwards, it would be guided into a different organ that looked similar to the stomach. This was what the system had termed as the Spirit Qi bladder.
'On some level this can be considered a second Dantian too, can't it?' Lin Wu wondered.
But he could also see the weak points of it, as the spirit Qi stored within it couldn't be utilized the same way as the spirit Qi in Dantian would be. At the same time, it explained the strange state of the Qi Sapping ticks.
While they would have the aura of an expert equivalent to the amount of spirit Qi they had consumed, they didn't have the strength. In fact, even a mortal child could kill them.
All this was made possible by the presence of the Spirit Qi bladder.
But this was just the first sub skill that had been made.
Lin Wu was no less surprised by the three that came after that.
"What the… Bark generation? Stem generation and even sap?" Lin Wu was not expecting features of a plant appearing for him since he was a beast. "Where did these come from system?" he questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Plant Bark Generation, Plant Stem Generation, and Sap Generation were all formed after the consumption of the Aqua Dream Ocean Lotus. Though there was also the contribution of various spirit herbs, fruits as well as other plant resources like wood that the host had consumed.
——
"Huh… so the Aqua Dream Ocean Lotus acted like a sort of a catalysts for this…" Lin Wu grasped.
Still it was unexpected for him and he wouldn't deny some new skills that had been added.
'I should test them out too…' Lin Wu created a new tentacle and then activated his innate skill.
