Chapter 225: Insect Swarm’s Roar Slays All Phenomena

“Wind and Thunder Celestial Punishment! Strike!!”

Qin Yu’s will descended. The Secret Patterns within the bodies of all the Thunder Rocs and Four-winged Black Thorn Eagles lit up, resonating and linking at a specific frequency!

Howling winds condensed into invisible shackles, wrapping around the Dharma Aspect from all directions. Dark clouds gathered as countless thunderbolts brewed and intertwined within.

“Strike!”

Following Qin Yu’s command, tens of thousands of flying units simultaneously released their accumulated Energy, guided by the Array with a thunderous boom!

CRACK!!!

It was not just one, nor was it a mere dozen or a hundred. Instead, thousands upon thousands of thunderbolts of varying thickness poured down like a torrential rainstorm, converging into an ocean of lightning that blanketed the world. Carrying the Supreme Yang and Firm aura capable of destroying all evil, they crashed directly down onto the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect!

This was no single-target attack, but a widespread, continuous bombardment of thunderbolts! Although a single thunderbolt lacked overwhelming power, their sheer endless number naturally suppressed the Blood Demon Technique.

SIZZLE!!!

Countless thunderbolts struck the bloody light protecting the Dharma Aspect, erupting into a dense flurry of electrical arcs and annihilation noises. The bloody light fluctuated violently, rapidly weakening and evaporating.

“These annoying flies!” Shen Tu Lu cursed in exasperation.

Under the continuous barrage of thunderbolts—almost all of which landed on his Dharma Aspect—the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within his body was rapidly depleting. Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon King roared madly. The phantom manifested by the Daoist Soldier Array coiled tightly around the Dharma Aspect, pinning it firmly in place.

Right at that moment, the massive body of the Leviathan, which had been hovering above the Qin Residence, finally moved! It charged toward the battlefield three hundred miles away at full speed! Its speed was remarkably fast—far exceeding all other flying units—displaying none of the clumsiness typically associated with such colossal lifeforms.

“Is the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms… going to join the battle personally?!”

Whether it was the white-robed old man observing from the shadows, Li Linfeng and Chen Ce within Yunlong County City, or the other factions spying from further away, everyone was shaken to their core.

As the Leviathan advanced, the thick carapace plates on its body continuously shifted and reassembled, revealing a densely packed, honeycomb-like structure on its abdomen.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Thousands upon thousands of Self-destructive Flying Mosquitoes swarmed out. Like a meteor shower streaking across the night sky, they swept toward the center of the battlefield.

The white-robed old man’s eyes flashed sharply as he guessed at Qin Yu’s intentions. He thought, “This Mother of Ten Thousand Worms is truly terrifying. The number of Insect Swarms it has spawned must be at least a million. It’s simply horrifying.

“Why is he approaching at this moment?

“Shen Tu Lu has likely consumed more than seventy or eighty percent of his Energy and is planning to retreat. To advance now… Could it be that he still has a trump card up his sleeve?”

From those successive waves of attacks, he knew that Qin Yu possessed an extremely high level of control over the battlefield. However, the Insect Swarm ultimately lacked decisive, battle-ending power. Even with the Flood Dragon King fighting desperately, it likely wouldn’t be able to pin the enemy down for much longer. If Shen Tu Lu intended to flee, the Insect Swarm wouldn’t be able to stop him.

However, at this moment, Shen Tu Lu was in no mood to observe the rapidly approaching Leviathan. The instant he was trapped by the Flood Dragon King, the surrounding Insect Swarm—which had just been cleared out—surged toward him once again.

Twenty Tunneling Worms frantically spewed forth Insect Swarms from their maws, providing an endless stream of fresh blood to the battlefield.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Just as Shen Tu Lu was about to unleash his power to completely slay the Flood Dragon King, the ground suddenly bulged. Dozens of Needle-spine Crawlers, each thirty feet thick and gleaming with a metallic luster, burst out of the earth. Like ropes of flesh and blood, they wrapped tightly around the ankles and arms of the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect. Their sharp barbs, carrying a terrifying piercing force, easily penetrated the already shattered shell of the Dharma Aspect.

As defensive units of the Insect Swarm, the Needle-spine Crawlers had undergone several upgrades, absorbing numerous Plant Demon Fiend genes to become even more resilient. A full thousand Needle-spine Crawlers pinned him firmly in place.

In the sky, thunderbolts roared incessantly. Massive waves of Self-Destructive Flying Patterns, Bursting Child Gu, and Flaming Meteorites detonated like a tidal wave.

His body was entangled by the Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers. A ferocious Insect Tide roared as it charged over; some bugs even sprinted rapidly along the bodies of the Needle-spine Crawlers, rushing frantically toward him to thoroughly annihilate him.

In the distance, the silhouette of the Leviathan appeared in the sky.

Shen Tu Lu finally felt tense, even slightly panicked. Just a momentary stall had plunged him into a life-or-death crisis! He could sense that the light of his Dharma Aspect was dimming at an alarming rate, and the depletion of the Primordial Power and Blood Qi within his body far exceeded his expectations.

“I can’t drag this out any longer! I’ll risk it all!”

A flash of madness and heartache flickered in Shen Tu Lu’s eyes. A blood-colored sphere flew out from his chest and violently burst apart, spewing out an endless crimson mist. He then ruthlessly struck his own chest, coughing up a mouthful of Life Essence Blood that quickly merged with the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect.

BOOM!

The bloody light at the core of the Dharma Aspect suddenly retracted, only to violently explode outward! An aura far more brutal and terrifying than before skyrocketed into the heavens!

Countless blood-colored Runes frantically circulated across the surface of the Thousand Hands Dharma Aspect, instantly healing its shattered areas. The three-thousand-foot-tall Thousand Hands Dharma Aspect abruptly grew another hundred feet.

The Blood Sacrifice Power he had accumulated over decades was completely exhausted in a single move.

“There is a road to Heaven, yet you refuse to take it; there is no gate to Hell, yet you force your way in! If you had stayed far away, I would have let you off the hook. But to think you actually dared to charge straight at me!”

Shen Tu Lu sneered as he stared at the approaching Leviathan. He intended to use this ultimate form to tear through the sea of bugs, strike directly at the Leviathan, and settle everything in one fell swoop!

As long as he killed Qin Yu and traded his head for the Assassination List bounty, he could recoup all the resources he had consumed, and perhaps even advance a step further in his cultivation. As for that Leviathan… Did he really think mere massive size was enough to contend with the Dharma Aspect of a Myriad Phenomena Master?

“Shatter for me!!”
