Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits-Chapter 235 Slaying the Seven Insect Demon Lord
```
"Not good!"
The Seven Worm Demon Monarch's heart sank slightly as he waved his hand, releasing a large number of Crimson Flame Flying Ants that seemed to be ablaze with flames.
Like clusters of fire, the Crimson Flame Flying Ants surged into the Ghost Fog, burning and purifying large swathes of it, and then charged towards the White Ghost Emperor.
The White Ghost Emperor was swarmed by the vast numbers of Crimson Flame Flying Ants, which immediately ignited him.
"An illusion!"
A chill ran through the heart of the Seven Worm Demon Monarch as his cloak split open behind him, and a multitude of pitch-black beetles charged towards the back.
Beams of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light shot from the Mountain Seal, sweeping across those pitch-black beetles, which then fell to the ground one after another.
The White Ghost Emperor's claw pierced directly through the chest of the Seven Worm Demon Monarch, extracting his heart and crushing it in a single squeeze.
The moment the heart of the Seven Worm Demon Monarch was crushed, his entire being transformed into countless insects that scattered in all directions.
This was the Insect Transformation Great Method—a life-saving divine skill mastered by the Seven Worm Demon Monarch. As long as one insect escaped, he could survive, and by casting a secret technique to nurture his soul, he could re-advance to a Fourth-Order Great Demon of Transformation.
"Fool!"
Zhao Yu immediately activated his mana, pouring it into the Mountain Seal.
From the Mountain Seal, beams of Earth Magnetism Mystical Light swept over the swarm of insects transformed from the Seven Worm Demon Monarch.

The swarm was instantly attracted by a terrifying force, contracting into a mass and continuously breaking apart.
Forced to coalesce again, the numerous insects reformed into the original form of the Seven Worm Demon Monarch.
The White Ghost Emperor's claw once again smashed the Seven Worm Demon Monarch's head, with vast ghostly qi churning and blasting into the Monarch's body.
The head of the Seven Worm Demon Monarch shattered, his body trembled, and he fell heavily to the ground, reverting to his original form—a demonic insect fifty zhang long, with eight knife-like legs and a body covered in a layer of pitch-black carapace, with an enlarged abdomen.
Zhao Yu's mouth curved slightly, revealing a trace of a smile, "A mid-grade Fourth-Order demonic insect! Feeding it to the Crimson Emperor would certainly allow it to progress further, becoming even more powerful!"
After advancing to the Fourth Order, the Crimson Emperor, White Ghost Emperor, and Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, even with the aid of Zhao Yu's Dao Fruit of consumption, evolved more slowly. Only by devouring monsters of the same order could they evolve rapidly and grow stronger.

Zhao Yu collected the corpse of the Seven Worm Demon Monarch into his storage bag, musing to himself, "I wonder if I can hold this ancient ruin! It would be great if I could! This is a top-grade Fifth Order Spirit Vein!"
Zhao Yu continued his search within the great hall. He had found the Metal Immortal Chart by relying on the faint connection between the Five Great Immortal Charts. He had not yet searched the entire hall completely.
"Human!! There's a human cultivator here!"
A Third-Order mid-grade demon of the aquatic race, standing ten zhang tall, clad in armor, with a shrimp head and human torso, flew into the great hall and called out in surprise upon seeing Zhao Yu.
"Kill him!!"
Another dozen shrimp-headed Third-Order demon strongmen also entered the hall, fixing their gaze on Zhao Yu with an exceedingly cold killing intent in their eyes.
In the Blue Sky Sea, human cultivators hunted and killed sea demons and demon race strongmen in large numbers, and similarly, those of the demon race were hunting human cultivators.
Those islands without cultivator protection would quickly be cleansed of common folk who had settled there for a while once their presence was discovered by demons or demon beasts.

Zhao Yu said indifferently, "Kill them all!"
The fierce light flickered in the eyes of the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, whose figure shimmered and, as if teleporting, appeared in front of a demon clan powerhouse. With a single blow, he smashed the head of the demon clan powerhouse, shattering it completely.
"Fourth Order!! A Fourth Order powerhouse!!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the vigor of those demon clan powerhouses dissipated, as they cried out in terror and began to scatter in all directions.
To vent his previous frustrations, the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor mercilessly slaughtered those demon clan powerhouses and before long, had smashed the heads of all those intruders.
The demon clan powerhouses reverted to their original forms upon death, and massive demon beasts appeared before Zhao Yu.
Looking at the demon beast corpses scattered on the ground, Zhao Yu's lips curled slightly, revealing a trace of amusement, "Cannon fodder. It looks like I can have a delicious seafood feast!"
The meat of those Third-Order demon beasts of the sea clan was also quite rare. A Nascent Soul overlord like Zhao Yu could indulge in it every day, but those Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators without power might not enjoy such a privilege.
No sooner had those ten-odd demon clan powerhouses died than more of their ilk surged into the hall, only to be blown apart by the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor.
With the Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor's protection, Zhao Yu finally resumed his search within the grand hall.
After thoroughly searching the grand hall and finding no treasures of value, Zhao Yu turned his attention to the seemingly bottomless cave at the center of the hall.
"Go, White Ghost Emperor!"
At Zhao Yu's command, the White Ghost Emperor turned into a gust of black wind and flew toward the cave.
"Master, there's something! There's treasure below!"
The White Ghost Emperor soon flew up from the cave.
Only then did Zhao Yu transform into an escape light and fly toward the cave.
The cave was extremely spacious, a thousand feet deep, and filled with strange grey fog.
Sss!
Upon contact with Zhao Yu's body-protecting Mountain Divine Light, the eerie grey fog hissed as it eroded anything it touched. Any ordinary Golden Core cultivator who was smeared with this fog would only have one path left—death.
Protected by the Mountain Divine Light, Zhao Yu easily reached the deepest part of the cave.
At the very depths of the cave lay a headless corpse a zhang high, radiating a Vajra Glaze Color, a pair of long legs clothed in silk, half a ten-zhang tall demonic body engraved with Demonic Patterns, an arm still emitting a chilling Sword Qi, and the skeleton remains of a distinguished Taoist whose lower half and half of his skull were shattered, leaving only half an eye remaining.
Clang!
Zhao Yu took out a Third Order long sword magical treasure and struck it against the Vajra Glaze Colored headless corpse, only to produce a crisp sound, leaving not a single mark on the corpse.
"This is the remains of a Divinity Transformation Body Cultivation cultivator! It seems a battle of Divinity Transformation level had broken out here! In the end, several Divinity Transformation cultivators must have died! I wonder if any treasures were left behind! Found it!"
His gaze sweeping around, Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, showing a hint of joy.
Deep within the vast cave was a small hill ten zhang tall, and growing on it was a small tree a zhang high with six branches, each branch bearing three green leaves, all of which flickered with thunder and were covered in Thunder Patterns—is this little tree possibly the legendary Divine Tree of Wild Thunder?"
Fascinated by the small tree, Zhao Yu's eyes showed a glint of curiosity, "This yellowish-brown hill feels like a Mountain Seal! Could it be something formed from the collapse of a Mountain Seal Spiritual Treasure? An Innate Spirit Species that's a zhang tall, with flickering lightning and covered in Thunder Patterns—could this little tree be the legendary Divine Tree of Wild Thunder?"
