Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Cang Anyu felt like his heart had been torn apart seeing his daughter get devoured alive.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU WILL DIE TODAY, EVEN IF I HAVE TO GIVE IT MY ALL! " Cang Anyu roared, his spirit Qi turning darker.

~RUMBLE~

From his chest, a cylindrical object rose. It expanded and quickly become eight meters wide. Strong spirit Qi waves spread from the cylinder, showing that it was a Dao Shell.

The Dao Shell was translucent white in color like most of the common Dao Shells but the object within it was quite different. The object was composed of several parts.

At the top was a flat disc to which six long rods were attached using strings.

~CHIME~

The six long rods seemingly moved without any force and let out a sonorous chime.

"Patriarch! You can't!" The Supreme Elder of the Cang Lan sect shouted.

"Even if I die doing this, I will take you down with me!" Cang Anyu shouted.

He then raised his hand and slapped the Dao Shell.

~CRACK!~

With just one hit, cracks developed on the Dao Shell.

~CRACK~

​ Cang Anyu kept on hitting it, and soon the Dao Shell was fully cracked. This made some of the people feel puzzled, but the elders of the Cang Lan sects were scared.

~THUD~

After cracking the entire Dao Shell, Cang Anyu thrust his hand inside and directly grabbed the Dao Embryo, which was in the form of Wind chimes.

"Infuse!" Cang Anyu controlled the cracked Dao shell to turn into pure spirit Qi which then poured into the wind chime shaped Dao Embryo.

His complexion turned noticeably pale after this, but his aura rose by two folds.

"He's done it… there's no going back…" The Supreme Elder felt despair.

"You demon! You devil! You fiend! I'll end your existence today!" Cang Anyu declared as his eyes turned bloodshot.

Holding the wind chimes, Cang Anyu shook them hard.

~DENG~

But unlike the last time, they didn't have the same sonorous chiming sound. Instead, they felt like hundreds of bronze gongs being hit with steel rods.

~DENG~DENG~DENG~

"Chimes Of Cang Lan: Dreadful Beckoning!" Cang Anyu chanted.

As soon as he did, a cold and depressing aura spread throughout the entire sect. The sky turned overcast all of a sudden and the winds stopped blowing.

Shirong, Wang Xiong and the others were lost seeing this.

"We need to get as far as possible." The Supreme Elder warned them.

"Why? We can't leave Patriarch Cang alone to deal with the Calamity Fiend." Patriarch Bing asked.

"You don't understand… we will die too if we stay here." The Supreme elder replied.

"Is this… that forbidden Dao Skill?" the male Dao Treading realm elder of the Long clan suddenly spoke.

"You know it?" Shirong asked after retreating.

"I've seen some old records about it in the clan." The Long clan elder replied. "But if it really is that, then we need to leave this place right away!" he added in a firm tone.

That was all that they needed before everyone flew away. They had thought that the Calamity Fiend might try to restrain them, but it surprisingly was not. Instead, it was calmly staring at Cang Anyu, as if wondering what the man was doing.

'Does it not feel fear?' Wang Xiong wondered.

Whatever technique that Cang Anyu was using, it had made all of them feel dread now. It was as if the very atmosphere was changing and even breathing was becoming laborious slowly.

After they were about halfway to the sect's border, Shirong spoke.

"What is Patriarch Cang Anyu doing?" He questioned.

"He's used a sacrificial Dao Skill. It is something that only someone with his Dao Embryo can use." The supreme elder spoke.

"That Dao Embryo is called as Chimes of Cang Lan, right?" Shirong remembered reading a bit about them in his clan's records.

But there were no such mentions of a sacrificial Dao Skill in that. This was also why he was so surprised. As far as he knew, the Chimes of Cang Lan were a Dao Embryo that came from the Dao of Sea.

It was a derived Dao from the Dao of water and was rather strong.

"Yes. It is something that only the patriarch of our sect can form. Even if they cultivate the same cultivation technique, others cannot form the same Dao Embryo. This is because the Dao Embryo comes with a great burden.

Becoming the patriarch of the Cang Lan sect comes with a great duty. If the sect were to face great danger, the patriarch is supposed to end it even if it take this life. This is the determination that is needed to form the Dao embryo.

The Chimes of Cang Lan are rather strong among the Dao Embryo's and have several Dao Skills. But the one that Patriarch is using is the final skill, that will use up all his cultivation base and life." The Supreme elder said before taking a deep breath.

The pressure had increased once more and now it felt like the very air was turning viscous.

"The Dao skill is called as the Chimes of Death and it is composed of two parts. First is the Dreadful beckon, which will summon a great sea of resentment and dread." The Long Clan elder was the one to speak this time.

"Wait, resentment and dread?" Shirong seemed to have realized something. "Doesn't that touch upon the Dao of Death?" he asked doubtfully.

"It does indeed… but only barely. It takes support from the Dao of Sea and changes its form. But this is only in the first stage." The supreme elder replied.

"Then what happens in the second stage?" Shirong asked, having a bad feeling.

~RUMBLE~

But before anyone could speak, a loud rumbling sound was heard.

If someone looked at the Cang Lan sect from afar at this moment, they would see a great illusion surrounding it.

The Illusion was that of a great grey sea!

"It has begun…" The supreme elder said with a grave expression.
