Chapter 192: Insect Swarm Transformation, Slaying the Evil Demon

As the Dominator of the Insect Swarm, all Insect Race units were a part of his body. No matter how massive their numbers, he could control them as easily as moving his own limbs.

However, as the Insect Swarm’s scale expanded, there were simply too many matters to handle. Taking care of everything personally would be far too exhausting. Even with the Insect Nest—a super biological computer—assisting him, there were still many issues that required his independent decision-making.

Therefore, he needed to reduce his burden! He had to free up his mind to better comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, as well as the Origin Dao, to improve himself. After all, only when his strength increased could the Insect Swarm truly elevate.

Similar units already existed within the Insect Swarm’s inherited memories. That was the Insect Queen!

In the Insect Swarm’s fragmented inherited memories, this was actually a product similar to a Hive Guard. However, the Insect Queen’s primary role was not combat. Instead, it was meant to cultivate and research Insect Swarm units, functioning as a research and conductor-type unit.

Nurturing such a unit was far more difficult than producing a purely combat-oriented unit like a Hive Guard. This was because it fundamentally wasn’t just about cultivating an Insect Race unit; it was a widespread transformation of the Insect Swarm’s structure and a redistribution of power. This was no simple matter. He needed to take it step by step.

While Qin Yu considered the future of the ever-growing Insect Swarm, deep beneath the Cyan Profound Sect, massive numbers of Worker Insects were exhaustively mining the Primordial Stone veins.

With the pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi contained in the Primordial Stones, the Insect Swarm could incubate Tier Three units on a massive scale!

The appearance of Tunneling Worms allowed the resources from the Cyan Profound Sect to be continuously transported deep into the Wilderness Mountain Range. The two Leviathan Eggs in the Snake Valley Base and the Three Immortals Mountain Base grew increasingly massive.

Batch after batch of Qi Sea Realm Insect Race units were nurtured. This even included a new batch of Thunder Beasts!

Under Qin Yu’s command, the Insect Swarm began marching toward their designated battlefields. The largest of these formations was led by the Flood Dragon King. Its target was none other than the Hundred Poison Child.

Soul Descent Gorge was located about twelve thousand miles from Yunlong County City.

This place was shrouded year-round in grayish-green poisonous miasma. The terrain was intricate and complex, crawling with poisonous insects and venomous snakes. Ordinary Martial Artists avoided it like the plague.

Overlooking it from high above, Soul Descent Gorge looked as if the earth had been viciously cleaved open by an invisible giant axe, leaving behind a hideous, bottomless wound spanning dozens of miles. The cliffs on both sides of the canyon were sheer and precipitous, dotted with jagged rocks that even apes would find impossible to scale.

However, the most terrifying aspect of Soul Descent Gorge was not its treacherous terrain or the grayish-green poisonous miasma, but the omnipresent, never-ending eerie wind. The sound of this wind was no simple howling. Due to the canyon’s unique structure and the countless holes riddling its walls, the blowing wind sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. The sharp, mournful shrieks pierced the eardrums like billions of tiny needles, penetrating straight into the brain, causing extreme dizziness and agitation.

If an ordinary person entered, they would, at best, suffer from a dazed mind and relentless hallucinations, or at worst, have their organs rupture from sheer terror, dying on the spot. Even Martial Artists were unwilling to approach.

Yet, when the Insect Swarm scouted the area, they discovered an anomaly.

In such a treacherous place, there were actually vast traces of human activity. Almost every day, villagers with their hands bound, strung together by ropes and wooden poles, were escorted through. Among them were plenty of children. Each transport involved hundreds or even thousands of people, and their escorts were without exception powerful Martial Artists.

Bound and guarded by Martial Artists, these ordinary villagers had absolutely no chance to escape. Upon reaching Soul Descent Gorge, they would enter an array. In an instant, they were enveloped in black fog, rendering them unable to discern their surroundings.

Ordinary Insect Race units that infiltrated the area simply could not breach the array’s barrier to enter the depths of the valley. Meanwhile, any powerful unit forcing its way in would inevitably alert the enemy.

Therefore, after the Insect Swarm’s scouting units discovered this place three days ago, they did not act rashly. Instead, they observed in silence.

It was only after Qin Yu reviewed the files from the Demon Suppression Bureau that, coupled with the Insect Swarm’s understanding of arrays, he could basically confirm that this was one of the Hundred Poison Child’s most proficient arrays—the Hundred Poison Demon Sound Array.

Qin Yu did not know what the Hundred Poison Child was doing inside, but given the circumstances, it clearly wasn’t anything good. The wilderness concealed far too much filth. Bandits and brigands were just the norm; more prevalent were Evil Cults and Demon Sects like the Blood Demon Sect, as well as Loose Cultivators practicing evil techniques. As the Insect Swarm expanded, they had witnessed far too many similar atrocities.

At this moment, hidden within the thick clouds high in the sky, the Flood Dragon King’s massive body—now approaching three hundred meters in length—stared coldly downward. Behind it hovered tens of thousands of flying units.

While the Leviathan was being incubated, the Flood Dragon King had remained inside the Nurturing Pool. As it absorbed the power contained within the Bishui River Dragon King’s Dragon Pearl, the Insect Swarm also performed an enhancement on it—an enhancement utilizing Leviathan genes! Because of this, its size was noticeably larger than before.

“The array’s structure has been preliminarily analyzed. The core of the ‘Hundred Poison Demon Sound Array’ utilizes the canyon’s natural environment and poisonous miasma, combined with Array Banners and venomous substances. It possesses the combined effects of illusions, sonic attacks, toxic corrosion, and enemy trapping.”

The Insect Nest’s cold voice echoed within the Insect Swarm’s Mind Network.

Although the Hundred Poison Demon Sound Array was only a Beta-level Low Grade array, with its geographical advantage and a Middle Stage Primordial Mansion Realm controller, even a Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm expert erupting with full power could not forcefully break it.

Even though the Flood Dragon King was doing its utmost to absorb the Dragon Pearl’s power, its conventional strength was only at the Middle Stage Primordial Mansion Realm. Attempting to forcefully breach the array with its power alone was absolutely impossible.

“Execution plan: Use a Thunderous Assault to instantaneously destroy the array’s core nodes and create chaos, followed by the main force forcefully breaking the array.”
