Chapter 214 - 10 Billion Insect Swarm, 80 Million Gold-devouring Insects

Qin Yu looked at the experimental subject that had already stabilized.

With a mere thought, this Hive Tyrant sprang into action, the golden Secret Patterns on its body faintly lighting up. At the same time, thousands of experimental subjects around it did the same.

BUZZ—

Amidst the buzzing, golden Secret Patterns faintly linked the tens of thousands of experimental subjects together, forming a super-massive entity much like the Gold-devouring Insects.

Offense and defense in one!

BOOM—

The Hive Tyrant and the numerous experimental subjects suddenly opened their mouths and unleashed a dazzling white light in unison. It instantly blasted a small hill thousands of meters away.

Its power was comparable to a full-force strike from a Leviathan!

In the sky, thousands of Qi Sea Realm Thunder Rocs loomed. Thunderbolts shot from their beaks, converging completely at a single point above the Hive Tyrant’s head.

Thunderous Assault!

The combined strike—powerful enough to heavily injure or even outright obliterate a Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator—crashed into the joint defense formed by the Hive Tyrant and the experimental subjects, erupting in a violent rumble.

However, the thunderbolts penetrated the defense network.

But when they landed on the Hive Tyrant, the residual power only left minor scratches on its carapace.

“The most powerful aspect of the Gold-devouring Insect’s Talent Secret Pattern is its integration of offense and defense. It is a natural Array texture. The larger the scale, the stronger the might of the Gold-devouring Insects.

“However, this kind of natural Array texture is extremely complex and profound. It will take quite a bit of time to fully comprehend it.”

Under Qin Yu’s gaze, the tyrannical, super-massive golden Secret Pattern system that had just shrouded the Hive Tyrant collapsed suddenly. It was clearly still immature.

“Fortunately, by relying on their Talent Ability, the Gold-devouring Insects themselves can engage in large-scale combat without facing this problem.”

Elsewhere.

An overwhelming number of Gold-devouring Insects took flight. Though each was merely the size of a fist, their sheer numbers practically blotted out the sky.

At this moment, all these Gold-devouring Insects burrowed into the Tunneling Worms, hurtling toward Yunlong County City.

“Trying to intimidate me? Simply ridiculous. I want to see how many lives you can afford to waste on me!”

Qin Yu’s eyes were cold.

Under the ubiquitous surveillance of the Insect Swarm, he could clearly see sneaky figures lurking around the Qin Residence. They were attempting to use special Secret Techniques to harm the Qin Clan Members.

Little did they know, they were simply digging their own graves!

With a thought, the overall information of the Insect Swarm appeared.

[Name: Dominator of the Insect Swarm.]

[Insect Hive Tier: Tier Three.]

[Life Energy Reserve: 12.84 million points / 1 million points.]

[Primordial Stone Energy Reserve: 220,000 points.]

[Hatchable Units (Tier Three): Leviathan, Thunder Beast.]

[Hatchable Units (Tier Two, Tier One): Cockroach, Profound Flood Dragon… Collapsed.]

[Building Units: Tunneling Worm, Needle-spine Crawler… Collapsed.]

[Current Units: Flood Dragon King (Primordial Mansion Realm); Tier Three Units: 120,000; Tier One and Tier Two Units: 20 million; Gold-devouring Insects: 80 million. Various small-scale reconnaissance and disguise units: 10.2 billion.]

[Insect Nest Array: “Wood Array”, “Poison Shadow Mysterious Array”… Collapsed.]

[Special Units: Hive Guard, Hive Tyrant.]

[Simulation Project: Cultivation Method Deduction (Core Techniques “Wind and Thunder Poison Dragon Technique”, “Wind and Thunder Tribulation Destruction Scripture”, “Wood Element Cyan Heaven Skill”…)]

A smile traced the corners of Qin Yu’s mouth.

When he lifted the restrictions and allowed the Insect Swarm to expand outward, spreading across the entire Yunlong County and several surrounding counties, the numbers of the swarm increased exponentially.

The total number exceeded ten billion!

A full 120,000 regular Qi Sea Realm combat units!

And the Gold-devouring Insects, possessing the strength of the Qi Sea Realm, reached an astonishing 80 million. Moreover, this number was rapidly increasing almost every moment.

A full 80 million Qi Sea Realm Gold-devouring Insects!

When they took flight, the resulting Insect Tide would be absolutely terrifying, easily capable of devouring Primordial Mansion Realm experts and everything else in its path.

This was his confidence to provoke—provoke an existence like the Blood Demon Sect!

To cultivate 80 million Gold-devouring Insects through conventional means, given their reproduction rate, would take at least a millennium.

But for the Insect Swarm, once they were analyzed, reproducing them with each Insect Nest operating at full capacity was nothing at all.

To the Insect Swarm, was 80 million Gold-devouring Insects a lot?

Not at all!

Calculated purely by volume, a single Thunder Beast was equivalent to five or six hundred million fist-sized Gold-devouring Insects. What truly limited the Insect Swarm’s cultivation of Gold-devouring Insects was the availability of various top-tier metallic resources.

Otherwise, multiplying this number several times over wouldn’t be an issue at all.

“I’m also very curious—between these 80 million Gold-devouring Insects and a Myriad Phenomena Master, which is stronger?”
