Chapter 227: Aftermath of War, an Olive Branch from the Primordial Spirit Realm

The moment the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect completely disintegrated, all onlookers for a hundred miles around fell into a deathly silence. This included those watching from afar with Secret Techniques and the various factions observing the battle in person.

Then came the sound of sharp, irrepressible intakes of breath and disbelieving whispers.

“He… He’s dead?”

“Thousand Hands Master Shen Tu Lu… A Myriad Phenomena Realm expert who dominated Ling State for centuries… just fell like that? And to someone in the Qi Sea Realm…”

“How is that possible?! That was a Myriad Phenomena Dharma Aspect!”

“It’s because Shen Tu Lu was an idiot. He actually tried to fight such a massive Insect Swarm head-on. Qin Yu must have lost hundreds of thousands of insects in that swarm.”

“Absolutely terrifying! There were at least a million insects fighting. Were they really all spawned by the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms? And what were those giant bugs underground that were spitting out swarms?”

“Qi Sea Slaying All Phenomena? What a joke. Didn’t you see the Daoist Soldier Array led by that Middle Stage Primordial Mansion Realm Flood Dragon? And all those powerful arrays?”

“The All-Seeing Dragon Mother is Qin Yu’s Lifebound Pet Beast, and it took that final, desperate blow from Shen Tu Lu.”

“That All-Seeing Dragon Mother definitely has the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Demon!”

“And what were those golden insects? They devoured even the Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body completely!”

Everyone was utterly shaken.

Their feelings were a mixture of envy, fear, and alarm.

Some credited Qin Yu, while others believed it was due to the power of the Mother of Ten Thousand Worms. But what was undeniable was that this was a power Qin Yu commanded.

Though practitioners of the Beast Taming School are few, the school has its own top-tier experts.

High in the sky, the relaxed smile had long vanished from the face of the concealed, white-robed old man. In its place was deep shock and solemnity.

‘He can spawn Ancient Strange Insects like the Gold-devouring Insect and the Soul Devouring Spider? And those Exotic Beasts that resemble Wild Elephants are also absurdly powerful.’

He muttered to himself, gazing at the sky filled with a golden rain of Gold-devouring Insects and the roaring Thunder Beasts.

‘They’re fearless in the face of death, attacking in waves… such precise control is simply terrifying.’

‘He wore down his enemy’s power, used himself as bait to lure him into a deathtrap, coordinated a Soul Attack from the Soul Devouring Spiders, and then finished him off with the Gold-devouring Insects.’

‘Relying purely on numbers?’

‘Only a fool would think that!’

‘The Demon Suppression Bureau has its own masters of Beast Control and Beast Taming. Our top experts can even use their War Beasts to form arrays. But none can manage a Daoist Soldier Array on a scale as massive as Qin Yu’s.’

‘Even the famous Ant Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect probably can’t compare!’

‘His army of a million Dragon Ants is astonishingly powerful, and I’d be wary of it myself, but its potential is definitely no match for this Insect Swarm right here.’

‘And then there were the Gold-devouring Insects that appeared at the end.’

‘The timing was also perfect.’

‘If they had appeared any earlier, Shen Tu Lu would have seen so many Gold-devouring Insects and would have surely fled.’

‘It’s true that Gold-devouring Insects are powerful.’

‘But swarm-type lifeforms have a critical weakness: slow movement speed. If Shen Tu Lu had spotted them sooner, he could have easily escaped.’

‘No wonder Qin Yu chose a Cultivation Technique like the Infinite Wonders Skill. That Mother of Ten Thousand Worms can spawn Thunder Rocs, Four-winged Black Thorn Eagles, Heaven-Burning Fire Crows, and even Gold-devouring Insects…’

‘What in the world is this Mother of Ten Thousand Worms, that it can give birth to so many different types of offspring?’

‘An Ancient Divine Demon Bloodline?’

‘Why have I never seen any records of something like this…?’

A complex light flickered in his eyes. Qin Yu had unleashed far too much power in this battle.

He could already imagine the turmoil that would sweep through all of Ling State once news of this got out.

Those old scoundrels from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would be on their way as fast as cats that had smelled fish.

If Qin Yu was allowed to grow stronger.

Once he broke through to the Primordial Mansion Realm or the Myriad Phenomena Realm, the entire Demon Suppression Bureau… no, the entire Great Wei Empire would need to re-evaluate Qin Yu’s worth!

At this moment, Qin Yu could no longer be seen as an ordinary genius.

He was an expert!

An expert capable of slaying a Middle Stage Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivator head-on!

He took out a Communication Jade Talisman, and with a flash, his figure vanished.

This matter was already beyond the scope of his authority.

…

「Yunlong County City. The Martial Arts Arena at the Qin Residence.」

Everyone wore tense expressions, and the atmosphere was heavy.

A Myriad Phenomena Realm Demon had attacked!

Though they had never seen a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert in action, they understood the weight behind those two words. It was a power that could easily wipe out all of Yunlong County.

If Qin Yu were defeated, everyone’s fate would be utterly wretched.

Some were sobbing quietly, while others had faces pale with panic.

In the center of the crowd, Qin Tianfeng’s expression was calm, but the hand clutching a Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu beneath his wide sleeve trembled uncontrollably, slick with sweat.

Several Elders, assisted by the Hive Guards, were maintaining order.

Suddenly, Qin Tianfeng, Qin Hu, Ouyang Xue, and the others all whipped out their Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu. The insects transformed to form Qin Yu’s face, from which a clear voice emerged.

“The invading enemy has been slain. The alert is lifted.”

The entire Martial Arts Arena was deathly silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers.

“We won! The Young Master won!”

“A Myriad Phenomena Realm expert! That was a Myriad Phenomena Realm Demon! And the Young Master slayed him!”

“Hahahaha! The heavens bless the Qin Family! The heavens bless our Qin Family!”

Many of the clansmen were so moved that tears streamed down their faces as they embraced one another and wept.

Even the most foolish among them knew that the Qin Family they belonged to had now grown into a terrifying power that had transcended Yunlong County—one with the strength to slay a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert!

Their status, resources, and safety would all be guaranteed like never before!

An unprecedented light burned in Qin Tianfeng’s eyes, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

‘He really… did it… Qi Sea Slaying All Phenomena… Unprecedented! This is absolutely unprecedented!’

He muttered to himself, then took several deep breaths to forcibly suppress his churning Qi and blood. “Silence!” he boomed. “Everyone, return to your posts and strengthen the watch!”
