Chapter 229: Aftermath of the Battle, an Olive Branch from the Primordial Spirit Realm

The Gold-devouring Insects not only consumed the remaining flesh and blood Energy of Shen Tu Lu but also devoured his Protective Magical Treasure entirely, leaving not even a trace of his Armor behind.

Qin Yu stepped forward and picked up the ring. He stored the War Axe in his Space Ring and handed the corpse over to the Insect Nest for analysis. A Myriad Phenomena Realm corpse was an incredibly rare and precious Material.

After refining the Space Ring, he extended his Divine Sense into it. An imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of Qin Yu’s mouth. As expected, Myriad Phenomena Realm experts were wealthy. The massive space, spanning five hundred feet, was nearly half full!

Mountains of Primordial Stones and various precious treasures were piled up inside. The items in this ring alone were enough for the Insect Swarm to replenish all their expended resources.

There were also numerous Secret Techniques. Qin Yu casually pulled out a Gamma-level Middle Grade manual, *Blood Poison Bone-Eroding Hand*, and put it away after a mere glance.

This was indeed a Demon Skill. During Cultivation, the practitioner needed to gather five highly toxic substances to temper their hands into Poisonous Claws. If that wasn’t gruesome enough, the most critical part of the manual was a shortcut method.

It detailed how to use the blood of Martial Artists to accelerate the refinement of the Poison Palm and infuse a special blood poison into the toxins. Those struck by it would have their flesh and bones dissolved, dying in excruciating agony.

After briefly sorting through the treasures in the Space Ring, Qin Yu looked toward the Yunlong County City. “Sure enough, my feeling was right. There is a hidden expert lurking in the shadows, and their aura seems even stronger than Shen Tu Lu’s! An expert from the Demon Suppression Bureau?”

When Shen Tu Lu died in battle, the Leviathan instantly sensed a powerful force. Although this force quickly concealed itself, it was still locked onto by the Leviathan.

It didn’t rush to leave the battlefield. The Leviathan hovered in midair until, half a day later, the entire battlefield had been swept completely clean, without a single trace of flesh or blood left behind. The massive Insect Swarm also vanished into the Tunneling Worms one by one. Only then did the Leviathan slowly begin to move, heading toward the Qin Residence under the watchful eyes of many.

RUMBLE!

The Leviathan slowly descended. The Wood Array covering the Qin Residence opened, allowing the massive creature—covered in blood and with several broken tentacles—to land on the Martial Arts Arena.

Even though it was only a single clash with the Thousand-Handed Blood Slaughter Dharma Aspect, the Leviathan had sustained heavy injuries. After all, this was a full-force strike from a Middle Stage of Myriad Phenomena Realm expert utilizing their Dharma Aspect!

Even relying on the Array Power and commanding the strength of tens of thousands of flying units in the vicinity, the Leviathan still took significant damage.

Upon landing, the Insect Nest hidden deep underground immediately connected with the Leviathan through the Mimic Fungal Mat, continuously supplying it with Energy to heal its wounds.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu flew out to meet the expectant gazes of the Qin Clan Members.

Ouyang Xue was the first to rush forward, grabbing Qin Yu’s arm and inspecting him carefully from head to toe.

“Disperse, everyone. It’s all over,” Qin Yu said with a smile as he looked at the crowd. “Mother, I didn’t engage in close combat; I was just the conductor.”

Although the battle was tragic and the Insect Swarm suffered many casualties, he hadn’t personally joined the fray, so how could he be injured?

“As long as you’re not hurt. That was a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert, after all!” Qin Hu’s face also broke into a smile. Waiting from afar for news while his son risked his life was a truly unpleasant feeling.

Even Qin Tianfeng felt a bit emotional. If the opponent had been in the Primordial Mansion Realm, even the Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm, he could have rushed up and fought. But against a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert, he would have been purely a burden.

Amidst a burst of enthusiastic chatter, the Qin Clan Members dispersed. Qin Yu also returned to his quiet Cultivation room to organize the gains from this battle.

Hunting a Myriad Phenomena Realm expert was by no means the end. It was a new beginning!

This meant that if someone else made a move, their strength would only be greater than Shen Tu Lu’s. They would also be much more stealthy and wouldn’t be stupid enough to march in openly. In the event of a surprise attack, if the Insect Swarm was unprepared, the losses would definitely be far more severe. They might not even be able to protect the Qin Residence.

However, less than half an hour later, Qin Yu emerged from his quiet Cultivation room.

Two streaks of Flowing Light shot over from the direction of Yunlong County City, landing right in front of the Qin Residence. It was Li Linfeng, accompanied by an old man wearing the black and silver-patterned uniform of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

The old man looked like any ordinary elder, with a gentle and peaceful face. Yet, through the perception of the Insect Swarm network, Qin Yu could tell that this was the very existence who had been spying in the shadows during the battle.

This was a top-tier powerhouse, likely an existence at the Late Stage or even the Peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Qin Yu didn’t pretend to be oblivious. He immediately had someone open the middle gates and led Celestial Wind Ancestor, Elder Wenyuan, and the others out to welcome them.

Inside the reception hall of the Qin Residence.

“Qin Yu, this is the Commanding Envoy of our Demon Suppression Bureau, ‘Thunder Punishment Master’ Liu Mingxuan. This time, he is the one who escorted the Immortal Tier Technique here, and he will be stationed in our Yunlong County,” Li Linfeng respectfully introduced the old man.

“Greetings, Thunder Punishment Master.” Qin Yu cupped his hands in a salute, a hint of pleasant surprise in his eyes. Just as he had guessed, this was a powerful Myriad Phenomena Master, and he had come specifically to deliver his Cultivation Technique.

“Fellow Daoist Qin Yu, you are too polite,” Liu Mingxuan said, his voice gentle and filled with undisguised admiration. “I was originally quite curious about what kind of genius would dare to exchange for the *Infinite Wonders Skill*, an Immortal Tier Technique. I never expected to witness such a spectacular battle!

“Leaping two realms to slay a demon, using the Qi Sea to slay Myriad Phenomena, you are indeed a peerless genius!”

By addressing him as a fellow Daoist, it was clear that Liu Mingxuan was treating Qin Yu as a peer.

There were a total of Twelve Immortal Tier Techniques within the Demon Suppression Bureau. The absolute top geniuses and powerhouses all aimed for an Immortal Tier Technique without exception.

Yet, the *Infinite Wonders Skill* was the least chosen among them.

It wasn’t because the *Infinite Wonders Skill* lacked power. On the contrary, in terms of sheer might alone, the *Infinite Wonders Skill* was absolutely top-tier, easily on par with the number one ranked *Circulation Stars Dao Song*.
