Chapter 211 - 10 Billion Insect Swarm, 80 Million Gold-devouring Insects

The Myriad Phenomena Realm!

On the path of cultivation, the disparity in strength between each major realm was like the difference between heaven and earth. If the Qi Sea Realm forged the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to commune with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and open the path of cultivation, then the Primordial Mansion Realm opened the Primordial Mansion within the body to forge the Dao Foundation.

The Myriad Phenomena Realm, then, was an absolute leap in power. The most defining feature of this realm was the Dharma Body.

The Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body!

During the Qi Sea Realm, cultivators could absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but they were ultimately like duckweed without roots. Only by comprehending a trace of the True Intent of the Dao, opening a Primordial Mansion within the dantian, and forging a Dao Foundation could one store the absorbed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within. The most crucial step in this process was the size of the resulting Primordial Mansion—in other words, the Dao Foundation!

Some cultivated Gamma-level Techniques or Beta-level Low Grade Techniques, relying on elixirs and external forces to barely break through and forge a Low Grade Dao Foundation. Such foundations could only open a ten-zhang Primordial Mansion; this was the case for the majority of Primordial Mansion Realm experts in the Evil Demon Sects.

Others, like Qin Tianfeng, possessed decent talent and could forge a Middle Grade Dao Foundation, opening a thirty-zhang Primordial Mansion.

If one broke through using an Alpha-level Technique, the Primordial Mansion could reach sixty to seventy zhang. Generally, only the top geniuses from the most prestigious Major Sects could achieve this. As for a Perfect Dao Foundation, one needed to successfully cultivate an Immortal Tier Technique to have even a sliver of a chance of opening a hundred-zhang Primordial Mansion.

Anyone who managed this would be hailed as a Daoist or Saint Child, even within the top sects!

The larger the Primordial Mansion, the more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi it could hold. The Primordial Power difference between a ten-zhang and a hundred-zhang Primordial Mansion was hundreds of times over. Furthermore, a stronger Dao Foundation meant purer Primordial Power and faster absorption of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. The gap in actual combat strength was virtually insurmountable.

This was exactly why Qin Tianfeng had been so ecstatic upon learning that Qin Yu had obtained an Immortal Tier Technique and harbored hope of forging a Perfect Dao Foundation. If the current Qin Yu went to a top sect to seek a master, he might have a slim chance of being taken in by an expert in the Primordial Spirit Realm, likely in a Beast Taming Sect like the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. But if he forged a Perfect Dao Foundation, he would be fiercely fought over by all the top sects!

An extraordinarily talented disciple from a minor family—who wouldn’t want such a gem? Even Primordial Spirit Realm experts would fight for him!

However!

Even a peerless genius with a Perfect Dao Foundation would find it incredibly difficult to fight above their realm and slay an ordinary Myriad Phenomena Master.

Why?

Because breaking through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm required one’s Law Insights to reach at least the Dao Domain level. This meant their comprehension of a specific Law had to reach a profound depth. They had to continuously weave threads of insight and threads of the True Intent of the Dao together, materializing them into a domain! Within this domain, an enemy’s strength would be drastically suppressed.

That was not all. The most terrifying aspect of the Myriad Phenomena Realm was the manifestation of the Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body!

The Dharma Body was formed by fusing the Dao Domain upon the Dao Foundation. Even if one broke through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm with the weakest Dao Foundation, they could still condense a hundred-zhang Dharma Body. Their strength would multiply a hundredfold! Once the Dharma Body was unleashed, it could effortlessly sweep through anyone in the Primordial Mansion Realm.

Moreover, practically no one who managed to reach the Myriad Phenomena Realm would have the absolute weakest Dharma Body. Even a Low Grade Dharma Body would measure one or two hundred zhang. If one condensed a Perfect Dharma Body based on a Perfect Dao Foundation, it could reach a staggering thousand zhang in height!

When such a Dharma Body was fully deployed, it could prop up the heavens and shake the earth. Even a behemoth like a Leviathan would struggle to contend against it.

This was a magic skill created by ancient human sages to combat formidable foes.

Legend had it that during the Era of Divine Demon, Innate Divine Demons easily stood tens of thousands of zhang tall. Some powerful Demon Fiends also possessed unbelievably massive bodies; the Bishui River Dragon King was two to three hundred meters long, while the Mountain-Splitting Demon King and the Red Feather Demon King easily measured anywhere from five to eight zhang.

Humans, on the other hand, were merely one or two meters tall! How could they possibly fight?

Thus, the Myriad Phenomena Realm’s Dharma Body was born.

Depending on the cultivation technique, the condensed Dharma Aspect varied. For instance, among the Demon Suppression Bureau’s Twelve Immortal Tier Techniques, the *Circulation Stars Dao Song* produced the Star Dharma Aspect, while the *Five Elements Celestial Escape Scripture* yielded the Five Elements Dharma Aspect. Another example was the Five Poison Sect’s Five Poison Dharma Aspect.

With a Dharma Body of at least a hundred zhang—or even a thousand zhang—mankind would not lose out in the slightest even when facing the most elite Demon Fiends, such as the Dragon Race. The Great Wei Dynasty hadn’t claimed its fertile lands and driven the Demon Fiends into the deep mountains through mere words!

Now, a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert was mobilizing to target a mere Qi Sea Realm cultivator. This was an absolute certainty, as effortless as crushing a bug. No matter how astronomically talented Qin Yu was, it would be utterly futile against a Myriad Phenomena Master.

It would be an absolute massacre!

“Hehe, I wonder which Myriad Phenomena Master from your esteemed sect is making a move?” asked the seductive-sounding woman from the Red Dust Sect with a light chuckle.

The shadows beneath Blood Bat’s hood seemed to curve into a grin, his voice laced with a mixture of reverence and fear. “It is the ‘Blood Hand Master’, Shen Tu Lu.”

The temperature inside the secret chamber plummeted to freezing point. It was as if an invisible, bloody, murderous aura had permeated the air, suffocating everyone present. Beneath his gray cloth, Soul Leader’s deathly still eyes violently contracted. The seductiveness on Lady Hua Mei’s face froze, melting into sheer terror.

Shen Tu Lu!

He was one of the Blood Demon Sect’s most infamous and barbaric Myriad Phenomena Realm Guardians in Ling State. He cultivated the Blood Demon Sect’s notorious Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect. Standing a full three hundred zhang tall with a thousand arms holding up the sky, the Dharma Aspect resembled the most terrifying of Evil Gods.

To condense such a Dharma Aspect, one had to slaughter an astronomical number of living beings, watering the manifestation with their flesh and blood while forging each bloody arm through a special secret technique. Rumor had it that in order to successfully cultivate the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect and break through, he had butchered hundreds of thousands of people in a single night.

“That Qin Yu’s personal strength is extraordinary in itself, but the most terrifying thing about him is the Insect Swarm under his command. Our sect branches were all breached by his absolute numerical advantage.”
