Chapter 530: Take Whatever Is Given

"I will watch you, watch you fall completely!"

Quietly watching Shen Yu, Lu Muyan completely gave up resistance, and there were no more constraints on his body. The sharp and terrifying Sword Qi pierced him through completely.

Under the heavy Sword Qi, there was nothing left but flesh and blood all over the ground; it was as if he had been obliterated cleanly from the inside out.

"Hoo!" Taking a deep breath, Shen Yu calmed his mood.

This was the first time he had completely finished off these old monsters who didn't know how many years they had lived; it was truly satisfying. It turned out these people weren't scary at all.

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in failed!"

"Failed? So you're not dead!" Raising an eyebrow, Shen Yu scanned his surroundings, and his Super Perception was also pushed to the maximum.

No wonder it went so smoothly. As for these old monsters who could live until now, putting their level aside, their life-saving skills were truly top-notch.

The endless Sword Qi formed a monstrous Sword Rain, covering everything in the vicinity. The Great Sun True Fire burned layer after layer until everything around was scorched to nothing.

That layer upon layer of beetles spread everywhere was burned completely clean.

Except for the pitch-black rock, nothing else remained in the entire palace; it was truly cleaner than a bandit raid.

Only after finishing all this did Shen Yu nod in satisfaction, and then he left the place in a leisurely manner.

Not long after he left, a blood-colored beetle broke through the soil. This beetle was different from the others; it seemed as translucent as blood-colored glaze, emitting a faint, shimmering light.

After circling around to ensure there was no danger, it flew outward, flew out of the deep cave, and flew toward the vast sky.

Just when this blood-colored beetle thought the sky was high and the earth was wide, and it could roam at will, a sword descended from the sky, pinning the blood-colored insect directly to the ground.

The blood-colored insect buzzed and screamed, as if it had let out a mournful cry, or as if it were wailing and writhing.

"I knew it, you really weren't dead!" Walking quietly out from a corner, Shen Yu looked down at the blood-colored beetle from above.

To be able to survive after being pierced by his sword—what kind of beetle could have such vitality? There was no need to say what was contained within it.

Just as Shen Yu was about to swing his sword again, a mental intent suddenly came over.

"Spare me, I can pledge my loyalty to you, I can be your dog. Over these many years, I have collected countless treasures, and I am willing to offer them all to you!"

"I am also familiar with the World after the Spirit Qi Surge. I can help you overcome difficulties, and even live better. I can be of help to you!"

A series of pleas filled with extreme humbleness were transmitted over, as if begging, and as if constantly trying to shake his resolve, but Shen Yu didn't care at all.

"Sorry, I don't need it!" Endless Sword Qi poured down like a violent storm, directly submerging the blood-colored beetle within it.

"Wait, there are definitely not only me among those who awakened early; there are plenty who are ten or a hundred times more cruel than me."

"They are like a pack of lone wolves, bloodthirsty and cruel, hiding in corners to secretly strengthen themselves. When they appear, it proves their wings are fully grown and they fear no threats."

"Young man, no, Master, you are so outstanding, you might have already been targeted by them."

"Only with my help can I give you a hand. I can even help you devour them and help you reach a higher level!"

Feeling the storm-like Sword Qi come to a halt, Lu Muyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "Master, I can do anything, I can help you!"

"As long as you spare me, I can offer my loyalty, Master, Master!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to call me Master; I have a question for you!"

"Master, please speak?"

"Do you know which old monsters have awakened, and where those awakened old monsters are located?"

"This, I know, I know!"

"You are lying!" Under his Super Perception, the moment the other party opened their mouth, Shen Yu knew they were lying. This bunch of shameless old things, lies just rolled off their tongues.

You don't even look at who you are facing, and you still dare to make things up as you speak?

"You don't know where they are at all; you don't even know if anyone has really awakened in secret, right?"

"Also, you lot are not some loving family, but rivals who can devour each other."

Smiling with disdain, Shen Yu said indifferently, "If you knew each other's locations, you would have already moved to kill. Therefore, you must be trying your best to hide yourselves!"

"It seems you are useless!" The Sword Qi condensed again, and seeing it about to fall, Lu Muyan's heart rose again.

"Wait, Master, although I don't know where they are, I know there must be others who, like me, want to seize the initiative."

"In every generation of Spirit Qi Surge, many brilliant geniuses are born in that era. But before the Spirit Qi Surge, most of them had already withered away."

"Because there has always been a pair of eyes in the dark watching these geniuses; they are constantly wanting to devour these geniuses for their own use!"

"With Master's talent, you don't need to look for them. If they have truly awakened, they will find you, wanting to do everything in their power to devour you!"

"Master, I am familiar with them, I can help you!"

"I said, I don't need it!" The rain-like Sword Qi fell again, directly obliterating the other party completely.

"Don't say I don't need your loyalty; even if I did, I wouldn't look for you. Who could feel at ease with someone like you by their side? I'm afraid the moment you had a chance, you would be the first to pounce!"

"You are more useful dead; at the very least, the sign-in reward shouldn't be low, otherwise it would be an insult to your status!"

Shen Yu's Super Perception kept a constant watch on the situation inside, and only when the blood-colored beetle inside was chopped into nothing did he stop his movements.

"System, sign in!"

"Sign-in successful, obtained Insect Control Art, all insects in the world can be driven by you!"

"Insect Control Art? Can't you come up with something more high-end?" Feeling the various pieces of information suddenly appearing in his mind, Shen Yu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into an insect keeper, painstakingly practicing this art of driving ten thousand insects, experiencing countless days and nights, until finally, this skill was carved into the depths of his soul.

But at this time, he did not stop, instead choosing to climb mountains and rivers, go deep into valleys, and communicate with ten thousand insects, day and night, through the changing of the world.

In the end, this skill seemed to undergo a transformation through tempering, no longer confined to the insects he raised, but all insects in the heaven and earth were within his control.

As soon as he made contact, he seemed to be able to feel the ten thousand insects everywhere in nature, feeling their joy, anger, sorrow, and fear.

Reaching out, a butterfly landed in Shen Yu's palm, and then countless butterflies danced around him.

It was a pity that Shen Yu was a grown man, not some charming and delicate woman. Otherwise, just with this trick, it was hard to say how many people would be captivated.

This skill seemed simple, but it was actually quite terrifying; the insects spread across the world were equivalent to his own eyes and ears, meaning that this heaven and earth were all his eyes.

Moreover, what he controlled was not limited to ordinary insects. What if he controlled those poisonous insects? Some naturally occurring poisonous insects were extremely terrifying.

It is just like the Seven-Colored Star Butterfly in his hand, known as the king of all poison kings, which makes people turn pale at the mere mention of its name; even a tiny bit of its poison can dissolve one's soul and erode one's bones.

Being able to harm others silently and without a trace is the most terrifying aspect of this skill.

If he were to face Lu Muyan again at this moment, he would only need to stir a thought to easily make those beetles turn and devour the other party.

Although this Insect Control Art is a bit inferior and cannot compare to those high-and-mighty destructive skills, one cannot be too greedy; we take what we are given.
