Ruling Martial World by Infinite Insect Swarms

Chapter 152: Chapter 146: Primordial Mansion Realm Combat Power, the Demon Suppression Cave Appears

”Stop him!” Bishui River Dragon King Ao Qin roared. His dragon tail swept out, trying to shake off the entanglement of Zhang Han and Chen Jianqiu. From his mouth, he spewed a deep blue water arrow, condensed as if tangible, shooting straight at Qin Yu.

However, Qin Yu did not even look back.

The strange patterns around his body suddenly lit up, especially a pattern on his back that flashed with light, resembling intertwining thunderbolts and sweeping wind scars. He swung his Evil-breaking Saber in a backhand upward slash. Wind and Thunder Power surged from heaven and earth, converging on the blade to form a cyan-purple saber light—only a hundred feet long, yet so dense it was terrifying.

SLASH!

The saber light swept past. The water arrow that Ao Qin had hastily spat out, which was powerful enough to pierce the Protective Primordial Qi of the Primordial Mansion Realm, was directly severed in midair by the Wind and Thunder Power, dissipating into a mist of water.

”He just broke through, yet he can utilize the Wind and Thunder Law to such an extent?” Demon Suppression General Zhang Han was shocked. The power of this strike, mobilizing the Power of Laws of Wind and Thunder, was no less than a full-force blow from an ordinary Early Stage Primordial Mansion Realm Cultivator!

Ao Qin’s dragon eyes widened in shock and fury. He tried to launch another attack, but Chen Jianqiu seized the opening, tearing a gruesome wound across the dragon’s body with his sword, sending Scale Armor and pale golden blood flying.

Qin Yu took the opportunity to dive downwards. The twelve Flowing Light Flying Sabers orbiting his body shuttled frantically, slaughtering dozens of charging Demon Fiends. Even two Great Demons at the Qi Sea Realm had no strength to resist.

Beneath the riverbed.

Mo Yuzi fiercely pressed the final pitch-black Array Plate into a hidden whirlpool. The blood-colored Runes on the Array Plate writhed like living creatures, resonating with the other Array Plates already placed everywhere. The eerie three-eyed statue hovered in the center of the array, emitting strange pulses of energy. The core of the array subtly pointed below the water’s surface, seemingly connecting with some heavy, ancient, and ferocious aura beneath the riverbed.

”It really is beneath the Bishui River!” Mo Yuzi’s expression revealed a touch of joy, but then he felt an astonishing murderous intent sweeping over him.

He thought, ”A mere Qi Sea Realm cultivator actually dares to make an enemy of my Blood Demon Sect?” His eyes were as ruthless as a poisonous snake’s. He had never imagined that the person ruining his schemes would be someone at the Qi Sea Realm!

No! To be precise, it was a Qi and Blood Martial Artist!

When Qin Yu broke through and the roaring Insect Swarm units of the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon appeared, even the most foolish person would know that the Qin Family’s so-called War Beasts were inextricably linked to Qin Yu. It was even highly likely that those War Beasts were bred by Qin Yu himself. Although he dared not believe it in his heart, it was the only explanation.

Every phenomenon had a cause. A phenomenon appearing from someone skilled in the Law of Flame would inevitably be related to Flame; one skilled in the Wind Realm would be related to Wind. By the same logic, those numerous Exotic Beasts were inevitably related to Qin Yu. Perhaps it was a Cultivation Method, or perhaps some other fortuitous encounter...

But one thing was beyond doubt. The true master of the Insect Swarm—which had ruined his plan to blast open the Blood Sea Array meant to blood sacrifice Bishui City and forcefully bogged down the Dragon Palace’s Demon Army—was inevitably Qin Yu!

How could he not be furious!

Rage surged within him, but Mo Yuzi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He had seen with his own eyes how Qin Yu slew a Dragon Turtle above his realm while only at the Qi and Blood Realm. Now that the other party had forged an Innate Body and succeeded in Breaking Realm, his strength had undoubtedly undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

The Bishui River Dragon King’s strike had already proven Qin Yu’s current strength. In Martial Arts Cultivation, the further along one progressed, the greater the gap between realms. But there were always some who could bridge such gaps! For a monstrous genius who triggered a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon during a breakthrough, fighting higher-realm opponents was practically a given!

”You forced my hand!” Mo Yuzi gritted his teeth, forming seals with his hands, and hissed in a low shout, ”Blood Sea Array, rise!”

HUM—

In the center of the riverbed battlefield, blood-colored mist as thick as a physical substance suddenly steamed upwards, enveloping a large area in an instant. Within the mist, the eyes of the three-eyed statue lit up with a demonic red light.

The next moment, a spine-chilling scene unfolded.

Within the area covered by the array, whether they were the corpses of Demon Fiends, the remains of the Insect Race, or the massive carcass of the Dragon Turtle, everything melted at a visible rate. They turned into streams of thick bloody water, devoured by the three-eyed statue like a giant whale inhaling the sea. Even some heavily injured but surviving Demon Fiends trapped in the array were rapidly refined amidst miserable howls, becoming part of the blood mist.

”Wind and Thunder Slaughter!” Qin Yu’s gaze turned cold. The twelve Flowing Light Flying Sabers orbited his body, wrapped in Wind and Thunder Power, turning into a torrent of Destruction that viciously crashed into the blood-colored array!

BOOM!

The array’s light barrier trembled violently, and the blood mist churned, but it did not shatter. Instead, after devouring a massive amount of Blood and Flesh Essence, it appeared even more stable and solid.

”Hahaha! You think you can break my Blood Sea Array with your power of having just entered the Qi Sea Realm?” Mo Yuzi stood within the array, letting out a hoarse, maniacal laugh.

However, from the sky above came the furious and alarmed roar of the Bishui River Dragon King, Ao Qin. ”Mo Yuzi! What are you doing?!”

Those were his subordinates! Beneath the array’s coverage, the blood mist enshrouded and frantically refined the corpses within. This Blood Sacrifice Array was supposed to be used on Bishui City, but now it was being used on the elites of his Bishui River Dragon Palace.

Mo Yuzi raised his eyes coldly, his voice transmitting through the water currents, ”Ao Qin! Now that things have come to this, do you and I still have a way out?

”The Blood Sacrifice Power is the key! Whether it’s the people of Bishui City or these aquatic Demon Fiends, they are all ’firewood’! Don’t forget, if the seal isn’t opened today, it will be a dead end for both of us!

”Even if I don’t strike now, they won’t survive once the Celestial Patrol Army arrives.”

Before his voice faded, he suddenly stomped his foot.

SCREECH!

The three-eyed statue let out a sharp, ear-piercing shriek, its soundwaves sweeping out. Both inside and outside the array, large numbers of surviving Water Race Demon Fiends suddenly stiffened. The rationality in their eyes was rapidly drowned out by a frenzied blood color. Their muscles bulged, their Scale Armor stood on end, and twisted Bone Spikes and fleshy tumors even sprouted from their bodies. Their auras instantly skyrocketed, but at the same time, they completely lost their sanity, madly attacking every living thing around them regardless of friend or foe!

The already heavily pressured Insect Swarm was immediately thrust into a precarious situation.

The light in Mo Yuzi’s eyes grew increasingly cruel. Before setting off, he and the Bishui River Dragon King had prepared for the worst by feeding Blood Demon Pills to all the Demon Fiends. At the critical moment, he only needed to control a Magic Technique to activate the power within them.

Bishui River Dragon King Ao Qin’s expression darkened with uncertainty, but he did not object. This was indeed a part of their plan. It was their last resort.

Meanwhile, a fierce glint flashed in Mo Yuzi’s eyes as his fingers swiped across a Bone Ring on his wrist. ”It’s still not enough!”

The Space twisted.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Nine ferocious figures, each towering ten meters tall like small mountains, suddenly descended to the riverbed. Although they retained a humanoid shape, they were twistedly stitched together from countless severed limbs. Their torsos were embedded with faces howling in agony. Wielding massive spiked Chain Hammers, they exuded the tyrannical aura of the Peak of the Sea of Qi Realm.

Flesh Golems!

The nine golems simultaneously swung their Chain Hammers. The millstone-sized hammerheads smashed into the Insect Swarm with mournful whimpers. The first few Profound Armor Cyan Aos and Profound Flood Dragons to bear the brunt were instantly smashed into meat paste!

”Flesh Golems?” Qin Yu frowned. He had naturally seen these things before; the Death Frenzy Talent within his Insect Swarm originated from the Flesh Puppets of the Mountain Demon Tribe. But the Flesh Golems before him were obviously much stronger. Their strength was at the Peak of Qi Sea!

Things like this, which could devour corpses to rapidly recover themselves, were incredibly difficult to deal with, especially on a battlefield littered with flesh and corpses. Even for someone in the Primordial Mansion Realm, killing them would be extremely troublesome.

Just then, a miserable scream echoed from the sky. The massive Flood Dragon Dao Soldiers crumbled. Without the protection of the Daoist Soldier Array, the already heavily injured Dao Soldiers were instantly devoured by the Wind and Thunder Insect Tide, while the surrounding Insect Swarm attacked desperately.

Mo Yuzi glanced over but paid it no mind. Instead, he focused all his attention on the three-eyed statue. Having devoured a vast sea of flesh and blood, the statue turned entirely blood-red, emitting waves of an eerie aura.

”The Blood Sacrifice Power is still lacking a bit, but as long as it devours the flesh of all these Demon Fiends and these Qin Family War Beasts, I imagine it should be about enough.” He sneered. Although the quantity fell short, the quality of the flesh and blood of the Demon Fiends and the Insect Swarm was far superior to that of ordinary humans.

WHOOSH!

The three-eyed statue erupted with a blood-red light that pierced the sky, crashing toward the deepest part of the riverbed like a bloody meteor.

THUD!!!

A muffled boom resonated. The riverbed’s mud and sand exploded, sending debris flying into the water. An ancient Bronze Altar, buried for countless years, broke out of the ground under the impact of the blood-red light. The altar’s surface was engraved with numerous intricate Runes, which were now flickering erratically as they tried to resist the encroaching blood-colored Energy.

In the sky, Demon Suppression General Chen Jianqiu, who was battling the Bishui River Dragon King, saw the Bronze Altar. His pupils shrank as if he had thought of something terrifying.

”Demon Suppression Cave!

”Their goal isn’t to blood sacrifice Bishui City! It’s to break open the Demon Suppression Cave after the blood sacrifice!”
