Chapter 163: Rock Worm King
Armadillo Armour
Lex's body was covered in an organic light brown armour that perfectly coated his body.
His body was impenetrable with his Armadillo Armour and Land Elemental Energy Transformation that were protecting his already powerful Elemental Body and even Heaven Mortals couldn't break past his defence.
Dozens of rock worms charged at him and attempted to bite and slash him with their teeth and with the serrated blades all around their bodies, but it was to no avail.
Lex using simple Geokinesis or his simple attacks, was able to kill them all as he approached closer and closer towards the centre where he could see was a large central plaza that was most likely where their leader was residing.
Scouting Eye
Lex's eyes became clear as his vision and senses fused and were amplified by his Internal Energy as the entire area around him was relayed to his mind. including what was behind him.
"Come out you big bastard" called out Lex.
With his Scouting Eye, he could see a large rock worm beast that was multiple times larger than the other rock worm beasts and was resting inside the central plaza of the rock worm tribe.
The rock worms no longer attempted to attack Lex and all feared the weird being that they saw as a monster, and all of their hopes rested on the Rock Worm King.
A sudden roar of a powerful beast, that hurt the ears of the all the beasts that heard it, resounded throughout the area as the Rock Worm King awoke.
For its large size, its speed was incredible as it suddenly burst out of the place, that it was resting in, and charged towards Lex.

Its eyes were red and furious and its aura and power were similar or slightly superior to that of the ice leopard as it charged towards Lex angrily.
Lex had an excited smile as he saw the power of the Rock Worm King and knew that he would have to focus and use most of his strength to be capable of defeating the Rock Worm King that was extremely powerful.
Both Lex and the Rock Worm King had powerful defences and were using their own variants of the Land Elemental Energy Transformation, to enhance their strong bodies, and who would come out on top rested on who had the more powerful attacks.
Lex stood before the Rock Worm King and looked puny in comparison, but the size didn't intimidate Lex in the slightest, who had a smile under his Armadillo Beast Power Helmet.
Upon first glance, the Rock Worm thought that Lex was an armadillo beast, who were in the Underground Coves, and thought that they may have broken the peace treaty, but after seeing Lex, he could tell that he was a different creature.
"I am a human idiot, the beings that rule the surface" stated Lex as he burst into the air and kicked the Rock Worm King, launching him crashing into the side of the open area they were in.
Despite the disparity in size, it seemed as though Lex had strength that surpassed that of the beast that was multiple times larger than himself.
However, Lex had hurt his leg slightly after kicking the beast and had underestimated just how hard the exterior of the Rock Worm King was.
Unlike his Armadillo Armour, that had some weak points around its harder exterior, the Rock Worm King was completely covered in the hard rock-like material its body was made out of.
"So this will be a battle that I can finally use my full strength" mumbled Lex to himself with a smile.
Dominant Eye
As Lex's energy, aura and Third Eye fused to form the Dominant Eye, Lex's eyes had a red glint.
"Attack him" ordered Lex overbearingly as bore down his dominating aura over all the nearby rock worm beasts.
Many were able to resist his dominance and were above the rank of Lex's Third Eye, but all the Sky Mortal Rank rock worms couldn't go against Lex's aura and all wildly charged towards the Rock Worm King.
The rock worms were baffled and had never battled against each other, and amidst that confusion, Lex's seeped his body underground as he used his Land Elemental Energy Transformation to move through the ground.
Moving under the ground, Lex suddenly burst upwards where he sensed the Rock Worm King was and launched a powerful fist that managed to chip one of the bodies of the rock worm.
However, the damage was minimal and the rock worm instantly flicked its tail coated in blades at Lex.
Lex jumped over the beast's tail and dodged the attack, then began launching rapid blades of energy formed by the Scarlet Flash Skill at the beast's head.
The attack had no effect on the Rock Worm King, but Lex knew it was a skill that was only useful for assassination, and in the moment of the Rock Worm King was shocked and blinded by the sudden attacks to the head, Lex began controlling large amounts of the ground beneath the Rock Worm King.
As the Sky Mortal rock worms were attacking their king and fighting other rock worms that were getting in their way, Lex covered the Rock Worm King in rock and other materials in the ground, as he began compressing it and holding down the Rock Worm King.
[The longer I drag this battle on for, the weaker I will become and the longer I am away from my fox beasts that may require my assistance] thought Lex to himself.
Crazily circulating his energy, Lex managed to subdued the Rock Worm King after encapsulating it in the ground beneath it, and while the Rock Worm King attempted to escape, Lex was preparing a powerful attack.
Using most of the energy left in his body, Lex released the Land Elemental Energy Transformation and streamed the energy into his right arm.
A beast with such a powerful exterior was very hard to battle against, but knowing that, Lex had in preparation for facing a beast of a similar nature, created his own skill.
Using all the knowledge and experience, Lex created a skill that wouldn't attack the exterior of his opponent, but the interior.
Penetrative Fist
It was a skill that he had managed to create while spending a month in seclusion, but despite the skill's power and usefulness against opponents with a strong defence, it took too long to initiate.
10 seconds in battle would be enough time to be killed hundreds of time over, and unless he was able to subdue his opponent, like he was able to do with the Rock Worm King, he wouldn't be able to use it.
With all his power Lex struck down, but at the same time, the furious and powerful Rock Worm King broke free from Lex's coating of land.
