Chapter 212 - 10 Billion Insect Swarm, 80 Million Gold-devouring Insects

But before a Dharma Aspect, no matter how great their numbers, they are nothing but weeds waiting to be reaped!

With a thousand arms waving, even an ocean-like tide of insects will only be slaughtered in droves, becoming nourishment to feed the Dharma Aspect!

“And as for that ‘Mother of Ten Thousand Worms’…”

The Blood Bat let out a chilling, low laugh. “A creature of such immense size must possess an extraordinary bloodline, perhaps even an Ancient Divine Demon Bloodline. For the Blood Hand Master, killing it and using its bloodline to refine his Dharma Aspect might just elevate his ‘Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect’ to a whole new level. If not for that, why would the Blood Hand Master have come out of seclusion to personally deal with a mere junior?”

The secret chamber fell deathly silent, with only the sound of heavy breathing remaining.

“With the Blood Hand Master making a move, it seems we won’t need to take any risks. The White Bone Temple won’t have to call upon our own expert. We can just sit back and watch the Blood Hand Master display his divine power.”

The expression of the White Bone Temple’s Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator shifted, and he sighed inwardly. ‘The Blood Demon Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a paramount power in the Dark World. To think they could mobilize a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert in such a short time.’

And then there was the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms!

The moment the Leviathan’s colossal body appeared, it had attracted the attention of countless people.

Some were terrified of it, but for others, it stoked their greed.

An Exotic Beast like this, suspected to have a Divine-Demonic Bloodline, still had numerous uses, even though Qin Yu had refined it into his Lifebound Pet Beast.

For example, his White Bone Temple could refine it into a ‘White Bone Dao Soldier’.

A White Bone Dao Soldier of an extremely high level.

Alternatively, the Blood Demon Sect itself had methods of flesh-and-blood revival. Even if the beast were dead, they could preserve a portion of its vitality, perhaps even allowing it to continue birthing War Beasts.

But unless another Myriad Phenomena Master showed up, who would dare compete with the Blood Hand Master?

“Then we shall await the good news,”

the ‘Soul Leader’ from the Soul Refining Sect said. The Soul Refining Sect also had unique Soul Refining and Corpse Control techniques, and they too coveted the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms.

Why else would they have come if there was no benefit in it for them?

But now, every one of them was having second thoughts. Theirs was no true alliance. If the ‘Blood Hand Master’ decided to kill them all…

It would be too late even for tears!

“Gentlemen, now that you’re all here, are you really planning to just back out?”

The Blood Bat sneered.

“Although the Blood Hand Master has come out of seclusion, it will still take him several days to arrive. In the meantime, we should at least do *something*. We’ll throw the Qin Family into chaos and plunge them into the depths of despair and fear! This is your specialty, isn’t it? He killed so many of our disciples. We must let the world know the price of offending us.”

The others exchanged glances, and after a moment of hesitation, they all nodded.

Indeed, that was true.

“That Qin Family thinks that by gathering all their clansmen, they can avoid being targeted by us. How utterly foolish. It just saves us the trouble of hunting them down. We can slaughter them all in one fell swoop! We’ll extract their souls and make them wail for a hundred years!”

the ‘Soul Puppet’ from the Soul Refining Sect sneered viciously.

“The Qin Family is one of the four great families of Yunlong County, after all. They must have quite a few experts. The White Bone Temple claims their skeletons.”

“My Red Dust Sect excels at Illusion Techniques. Plunging them into fear and despair couldn’t be simpler.”

“…”

…

Night fell over Yunlong County City. The lights went out one by one, and the city sank into a seemingly peaceful darkness.

However, outside the city, the Qin Residence and the Wilderness Insect Nest deeper in the wilds were shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The light of defensive Arrays flowed, activated to their maximum power.

Inside the residence, Qin Yu wasn’t in his room. Instead, he had entered the Leviathan, which was coiled up on the Martial Arts Arena, and went into the Cultivation Room prepared especially for him inside it.

Countless fine tendrils connected to his body, stimulating the flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within him. Flashes of electricity sparked, controlling and stimulating the enhancement of every last bit of his flesh and blood from the most minute level.

Body Refining!

Both the Wind and Thunder Poison Dragon Technique and the Wind and Thunder Tribulation Destruction Scripture were top-tier Body Refining Techniques.

This was also the Insect Swarm’s greatest strength.

Whether it was the Rapid Insects, the cockroaches, or the Thunder Beasts, their greatest strength was their physical bodies!

Manipulating Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was simply something they had incorporated from this world’s cultivation methods.

By combining the advantages of the Insect Swarm with the Body Refining Techniques, his physical strength alone was greater than that of most Primordial Mansion Realm cultivators.

Only a powerful body could contain a more ferocious power.

The power to command the Power of Dominator!

That was also why he had been able to suppress the Thousand-Faced Old Demon with absolute force when he caught him.

‘Thanks to the feedback from the Insect Swarm, I’ve already opened eight of the Nine Qi Meridians. I’ll reach the Peak of the Sea of Qi Realm soon. Once I get my hands on the Infinite Wonders Skill, I can start thinking about my breakthrough.’

Qin Yu sat quietly on the throne of flesh, a myriad of thoughts racing through his mind.

With the ever-growing Insect Swarm, his strength was increasing at an astonishing rate with every passing moment.

This kind of slow, grinding cultivation—the simple accumulation of Energy—posed no difficulty for him.

‘Right now, my main priorities are breaking through to the Primordial Mansion Realm, establishing a complete Soul Defense system, continuing to expand the Insect Swarm, and enhancing the strength of my elite units.’

Closing his eyes, Qin Yu’s consciousness entered the swarm network.

His consciousness didn’t appear in the Wilderness Mountain Range. Instead, it descended upon a Hive Guard within the Cyan Profound Sect’s mountain gate—the Insect Swarm’s most important sub-base.

He glanced at the Primordial Stone Vein. It was just a small one, and the Cyan Profound Sect had been mining it for several hundred years, so there weren’t many Primordial Stones left.

With the Insect Swarm’s efficiency, they could strip-mine it completely clean in a day or two.

It was a quick score.

Qin Yu only spared it a glance before continuing onward, finally stopping before a dense forest.
