Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

'The illusion is working a lot better than I thought… Even the two immortal ascension realm ancestors seem to be affected completely.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

He wanted his introduction to be impressive, so had made a lot of preparation for it.

This even included a special illusory technique that the system had devised after analyzing and extrapolating data from thousands of illusory techniques.

The illusory technique was special in that it didn't have any offensive capabilities, it didn't even transmit any fear inducing illusions. This was the prerequisite that allowed it to affect everyone.

It could bypass the defensive skills and anti-illusion talismans as well.

It worked by combining several of Lin Wu's innate skills too. It used the Sound Command innate skill that created the base for it all. Different sound frequencies were added using it, which were the structure behind the illusion.

Then, Lin Wu's radiation manipulation skill was added which finely controlled the radiation and suppressed the use of any disturbance inducing spirit Qi skills. Next was the Sapphire Qi that was born as a result of having Sapphire meridians.

This allowed the illusory skill to enhance its ability to bypass defenses greatly making so that even external formation arrays and spirit tools would be unable to stop it.

Finally, there was the formula for the illusory technique itself which made everything operate in unison.

Another good thing about this illusory technique was that the spirit Qi consumption for it was quite low. For something that could induce illusions even in the minds of Immortal Ascension realm cultivators, this was massive.

Even using the entirety of a Dao Treading realm cultivator's spirit Qi stores wouldn't be unusual to do the same.

Of course, the condition for such high efficiency was also strict. It needed Lin Wu to be in a state of calm. He could not be in combat and neither could he be agitated. The area he was in also needed to be relatively noise free.

Only when all these conditions were fulfilled could this be used. And now this meeting was the perfect place to do that. And the name that Lin Wu gave to this illusory technique was 'Illusion of the Silent Mind.'

"Let's add more flare to this shall we?" Lin Wu muttered lightly, his voice no longer perceptible to the people present.

Thin needle like spikes rose from the end of his tail before starting to vibrate. They vibrated at such a high frequency that it was even hard to tell they were vibrating. But these vibrations precisely created the sound frequency that was needed for the illusion.

Within the minds of everyone, the image of the man with black and white eyes changed. If before he was ten meters tall, now he suddenly grew and reached the skies!

~ROAR~

He let out an earth rending roar and lifted his arms. One of his arms struck out at the skies, splitting them in half, while the other made a sweeping gesture that split apart the earth.

The earth which had been split revealed a being hidden inside. It was a mass of darkens that writhed and wiggled. It looked grotesque and gave one an eerie feeling.

The sky that was split apart revealed endless starlight behind it. The starlight shone on the mass of darkness and made it scream in pain.

After a short while, the mass of darkness was purged, leaving behind a vast fissure. The skies also closed up, recovering to their normal state.

This scene of the man splitting earth and sky while eradicating the mass of darkness was being carved deep into the hearts of everyone. They couldn't understand just what the cultivation base of such a person would be.

It was now that Lin Wu's voice echoed within their minds.

"That is my master, the Taiji Celestial. He is a great expert in the universe and is well known. He sent me to this world, the Ming Dao world to fight against his life-long foe, the Shadow Calamity.

The mass of darkness that he purged earlier was one of the 'avatars' of the Shadow Calamity. It is a disaster that spreads across worlds, corrupting and devouring all life on them; leaving behind empty husks of worlds." Lin Wu explained.

~shua~

Once his words stopped though, the illusion also ended.

"Huh?" the people who were under the illusion shook their heads.

For a couple of minutes, there was silence in the hall as they all tried to warp their minds around what they had just learned.

"So King Lin Wu is on the Ming Dao World to eradicated one of these Shadow Calamity Avatars too?" Ancestor Long Qing was the first to recover again.

"Indeed." Lin Wu nodded his head.

"Is the Calamity Fiend related to the Shadow Calamity?" the Supreme Elder of the Cang Lan sect asked impatiently.

"Yes, it is one of the… puppets of the Shadow Calamity." Lin Wu answered, only making him more uneasy.

"One of the puppets? You mean to say there are more?" The Patriarch of the Twin Peak Sword Sect asked.

His sect was the second ranked top sect, just below the Cang Lan sect.

"Yes… you see the Shadow Calamity spreads and corrupts the beings of different worlds. It would change them in its image while also giving them powers.

In some worlds the Shadow Calamity is even considered a fortunate encounter and many seek it out. Of course, the final fate of everyone is the same… the get controlled by it, losing their sense of self.

The Calamity Fiend is one such being. It is also controlled by the Shadow Calamity, but it still has its sense of self." Lin Wu explained.

"How can it have it when you just said they lose their sense of self?" Someone asked.

"Its simple… their goals align. The Shadow Calamity doesn't need to spend effort in controlling the Calamity Fiend when the fiend is willing to follow its orders in the first place." Lin Wu replied, unnerving them.
