Chapter 220: Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body, Surging Insect Tide

Moreover, he was flying at an extremely high altitude.

“A genius? A dead genius is nothing at all!” Shen Tu Lu stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

As the top-tier genius ranked ninety-second on the entire Great Wei Dynasty’s Assassination List, the bounty on his head was so incredibly generous that it would be a valuable asset even to him. Furthermore, in the transmitted footage, the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms, suspected of possessing an Ancient Divine Demon Bloodline, would undoubtedly be a supreme tonic for his cultivation of the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect—a Dharma Aspect that required immense amounts of flesh and blood!

Dharma Aspects were not immutable. Even if a Dharma Aspect was forged with a Middle Grade Dao Foundation, a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter could still elevate it to the Upper Grade. This was the very essence of Cultivation. Anything was possible! For this reason, upon receiving the news, he immediately emerged from seclusion to make the first move before anyone else could.

However, just as Shen Tu Lu was relishing his pleasant mood, a beam of light a hundred meters in diameter instantly appeared in the distance, blasting toward him at an incomparably swift speed. No! It was not one beam, but three! From the front and the rear flanks, three dazzling beams, each a hundred meters wide, converged. Under the Leviathan’s incredibly precise calculations, the three beams blasted toward Shen Tu Lu in the center almost simultaneously.

Although arrogant, Shen Tu Lu was not stupid. As he flew, his Divine Sense radiated out to cover a hundred miles around him, ensuring he could react instantly to any crisis that arose. But this time, he miscalculated. The beam attacks were simply too fast. Traveling at a speed of three hundred thousand kilometers per second, they afforded him no time to react.

“What?!” Alarms blared madly in Shen Tu Lu’s mind as his expression drastically changed.

He could sense the terrifying Energy contained within the beams—Energy potent enough to threaten his life! Caught off guard, he let out a wild roar. The blood-red light around his body surged, and a thick, almost tangible layer of Blood-colored True Gang instantly formed a shield several meters thick around him. At the same time, he forcefully twisted his body in an attempt to dodge. There was absolutely no time to unleash his Domain or Dharma Aspect, the most powerful abilities of the Myriad Phenomena Realm!

BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM—!!!

The three Main Cannon beams struck almost simultaneously! The blinding white light and the dark red Blood Gang collided and annihilated each other in a frenzy, erupting with a radiance a thousand times more dazzling than the Sun. It lit up the night sky for dozens of miles in every direction, making it as bright as day! The deafening shockwave of the explosion echoed like billions of Thunderbolts detonating at once. A terrifying, spherical shockwave violently expanded outward from the point of impact. Wherever it passed, clouds were completely shredded, the peaks of the mountain ranges below were sheared off flat, and trees and rocks were reduced to fine powder!

Shen Tu Lu’s figure was entirely swallowed by the core light of the blast. His protective Blood Gang held out for less than a breath before shattering like a fragile eggshell! The frenzied, Destructive Energy slammed directly into his protective Armor.

“COUGH—!”

Even with the formidable physical body of a true master of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, Shen Tu Lu couldn’t help but spit out a massive mouthful of dark red blood, mixed with fragments of his internal organs! His blood-red robes were instantly reduced to flying ash, revealing his lean yet heavily scarred and charred body beneath.

“Qin Yu! You’re courting death!”

His face was filled with shock, fury, disbelief, and a lingering trace of fear! Each of these three attacks was comparable to a full-force strike from an expert at the Early Stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. The most terrifying aspect, however, was the sheer speed of the attacks. Furthermore, the might of the three strikes had instantly stacked together, achieving a power level equivalent to the Middle Stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm!

Even though his Cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, he had been caught completely off guard. He hadn’t deployed his Law Domain, nor had he unfurled his Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect. These three terrifying long-range attacks truly had the potential to heavily injure him, or even claim his life!

“Ant!” Shen Tu Lu’s roar was brimming with explosive rage and Killing Intent. He glared fixedly toward the Qin Mansion—the general direction from which the Leviathan Main Cannon had fired—as the bloody light in his eyes almost solidified into substance. His Blood-colored Domain unfurled with a resounding boom.

At this moment, hundreds of miles away in the main control room of the Leviathan, Qin Yu slightly furrowed his brows. Through the Leviathan’s powerful reconnaissance systems, he clearly saw the situation on the battlefield.

“He really is tough to deal with!” Qin Yu’s expression grew grave.

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away from Shen Tu Lu, the camouflage of the Mimic Fungal Mat suddenly tore open the ground, causing the earth to bulge. An enormous “head,” over thirty meters in diameter, burst from the soil. With a loud CRACK, the armored plates on the head slid open, revealing dense, honeycomb-like holes inside.

BUZZ—!!!

The ear-piercing sound of beating wings merged into a tidal wave of death! Measuring about two meters in diameter, pitch-black all over but with abdomens bulging with red light, the Self-destructive Flying Mosquitoes swarmed out of those holes like a breached dam releasing a torrent of black floodwaters!

Self-destructive Flying Mosquitoes! These super suicide units, enhanced from the Heaven-Burning Fire Crow Child Gu, functioned as the Insect Swarm’s biological missiles. Once they locked onto a target, they would charge headlong at it. Then, they would instantly self-destruct!

The speed of these Self-destructive Flying Mosquitoes was incredibly fast—far faster than that of anyone in the Primordial Mansion Realm. This was not just due to their unique physical structure, but also because the moment they flew out of the Insect Nest, they activated their Talent, Death Frenzy! In a mere three seconds, the Suicide Insect Nest would exhaust all of its Life Force to eject the dozens of Self-destructive Flying Mosquitoes hidden within its body. Unlike the Heaven-Burning Fire Crow, these Suicide Insect Nests were linked to the Insect Nest’s Fungal Mat network, meaning there were absolutely no Energy limitations. The Energy contained within each and every Self-destructive Flying Mosquito was pushed to the absolute limit!

WHOOSH—

Like countless shooting stars launching from underground, they instantly surrounded Shen Tu Lu, who had just barely stabilized his posture.

“Good! Good! Good! To think you even set up an ambush in advance!” Shen Tu Lu glared tyrannically at the Self-destructive Flying Mosquitoes swarming the sky. His Blood-colored Domain abruptly expanded to cover a radius of three thousand meters. The intangible Domain materialized, turning into a churning Blood Sea.
