The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 294 The Nine Dragon Pillars Appear
The Poison Dragon Profound Technique was divided into three parts, and countless streams of light flowed into Su Yan's body, allowing Su Yan to obtain the entire inheritance.

The remaining two golden beams landed on Long Qiushui and Yu Lingbo respectively.

Yu Lingbo calmed his mind and began to comprehend the technique. After a short while, he opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them: "Mysterious Heaven Poison Dragon Sword Technique, thank you for your help, senior!"

He thought he had lost the inheritance, but he never expected that he would still have his own share. Although it was not as good as Su Yan's complete inheritance, the Xuan Tian Poison Dragon Sword Technique was also one of the techniques of Poison Dragon Daoist Tai Lingyue. Naturally, no Dharma Aspect technique was weak.

Long Qiushui slowly opened her eyes, a hint of joy flashing in them. What she had obtained was the Nine Revolutions Pill Gathering Method, the Poison Dragon Pill Gathering Method, which was to achieve nine revolutions.

Although it is not a cultivation technique, it is an exact example of the acquired method of cultivating the Three Elixir Nine Revolutions.

She had already reached the seventh stage of the third dantian, and she entered the Poison Dragon Valley for two reasons: to inherit the legacy and to break through to the eighth stage of the third dantian, thus solidifying her foundation.

Su Yan was the last to wake up. The true meaning of the surrounding body had been completely absorbed by him, and the true meaning of the poisonous dragon around his body had been transformed into his own true meaning.

The venomous dragon coiled and split into three heads. At this moment, Su Yan's body swelled up to about ten feet tall, with dark green scales and sharp claws, resembling a half-dragon.

The Poison Dragon Golden Body transforms into a dragon.

If one cultivates the Poison Dragon Mystic Art to its fullest potential, one can transform into a poison dragon, with an inexhaustible source of poison and an immortal body—truly a profound mystery.

"Congratulations, junior disciple, on mastering your divine skills!"

Yu Lingbo offered his congratulations, and Su Yan concealed his aura, landing on the central island. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concession, senior."

Yu Lingbo smiled wryly. Did he want to give it up?
Su Yan held the second dragon ball in his hand and handed it to Long Qiushui.

Long Qiushui looked astonished, while Yu Lingbo's eyes were filled with envy.

"What are you doing?"

"It will be useful for Master's breakthrough."

The Dragon Ball contains the essence of the Poison Dragon's true intent, which has been used for centuries to suppress poisonous beasts that wanted to transform into dragons. It is formed from the spiritual energy of the Poison Dragon Valley and contains dragon energy, making it an excellent natural treasure to aid in breakthroughs.

Su Yan grinned: "Where the Poison Dragon Pillar is located, there should be a third one."

"it is good"

Long Qiushui nodded in agreement, but Yu Lingbo hesitated. At this moment, only the three of them remained among the Danqiao martial artists present.

In fact, Yu Lingbo knew that even if he reached the location of the Poison Dragon Pillar, could he possibly compete with these two direct descendants of the Beast King Sect who were essentially on par with him?

Yu Lingbo clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I will not go to the Poison Dragon Pillar. This is where the true inheritance of Senior Poison Dragon is located. I do not have the confidence to compete with you two. Moreover, Senior has bestowed upon me the Xuan Tian Poison Dragon Sword Technique, which is already a good gain. I will take my leave now."

Yu Lingbo's sudden farewell was somewhat unexpected, but also quite reasonable.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother."

Long Qiushui nodded slightly, and Yu Lingbo turned and fell into the lake, quickly disappearing from sight.

Suddenly, only Su Yan and Long Qiushui remained on the central island.

"Be careful in a moment. The Dragon Transformation lineage has not yet appeared. It seems they have broken through the restrictions and entered the hall where the Poison Dragon Pillar is located."

Long Qiushui reminded him, and Su Yan nodded before summoning the Poison Dragon's True Meaning.

The true meaning resonated, causing even the Dragon Ball to tremble, and the sound of a dragon's roar came from the bottom of the lake.

A hundred-meter-high wave surged, and the lake surface looked as if it were experiencing a storm.

The island beneath our feet trembled violently, and the surrounding poisonous water was rapidly drying up, revealing a narrow tunnel leading to the bottom of the lake.

The tunnel was only wide enough for two people, with dark rock walls on both sides. Purple patterns spread out continuously, like blood vessels extending deep into the ground.

"Walk"

The two quickly traversed the passageway at an extremely fast pace. After traveling for about ten miles, a hazy purple light finally appeared before them. Stepping through the purple light, the view opened up, revealing a tall underground palace.

The palace, resembling a bronze structure, stands two to three hundred feet tall. Ancient and desolate, it is inscribed with ancient mythical beasts, exuding an aura of extreme ferocity and dominance.

The palace is surrounded by thick rock walls, and all the purple patterns converge here.

The two had just stepped into this place when suddenly two figures rushed towards them, their bodies completely red, their eyes ferocious like those of wild beasts.

"boom"

The claws left deep red claw marks as they struck, heading straight for Su Yan and Long Qiushui.

"careful!"

Long Qiushui shielded Su Yan beside her, and the Frost Moon Ring and Shadow Sun Ring flew out, heading straight for the two to kill.

The claw marks were broken by the double rings, and the Shadow Ring rushed straight towards one of the monsters, striking its body with its sharp edge.

The monster crossed its arms, its scales rose in layers, sparks flew, and a piercing sound rang out.

The other monster bypassed the Frostmoon Ring and headed straight for Su Yan.

Su Yan moved swiftly, appearing in front of it and delivering a powerful punch that snapped the monster's arms in two with a cracking sound.

"Roar"

The monster roared, but then Long Qiushui's twin rings flashed, and together they slashed out, severing its arm in a flash.

The two monsters were knocked to the ground, and when they looked closely, Su Yan and Long Qiushui's pupils shrank.

Cao Zangfeng?!

Both Long Qiushui and Su Yan recognized one of the people on the ground.

Although the veins were everywhere, bulging like black centipedes, his face had completely transformed into that of a wild beast.

However, Cao Zangfeng's appearance was still vaguely recognizable.

The monster Cao Zangfeng had transformed into a half-dragon monster. Even after his arms were severed, he still struggled to his feet and roared as he charged toward Su Yan.

Han Lingchuan, whose arms had been broken by Su Yan, miraculously recovered a bit as his muscles and bones began to move.

The two attacked like crawling monsters. Their terrifying power and the formidable physique they possessed after their dragon transformation, with the mere burst of physical strength shattering the surrounding ground, made them as powerful as the Hoshino Tensei warriors.

"Be careful"

Long Qiushui warned Su Yan to be careful, and then unleashed her full power. The Frost Moon Ring and the Shadow Sun Ring encircled Han Lingchuan on the left, clanging as they collided, blocking his attack.

Su Yan, possessed by the insect armor on the right, engaged in close combat. The true meaning of the poisonous dragon emerged on his body, and one of his arms transformed into a dragon, directly striking out and fighting with Cao Zangfeng.

The battle was incredibly dangerous, but both Cao Zangfeng and Han Lingchuan were like mad beasts, possessing terrifying dragon-transformation power but unable to control it.

In less than twenty rounds, Su Yan grabbed Cao Zangfeng's neck with his large hand and snapped it with his Star-Picking Hand technique.

On Long Qiushui's side, the Frost Moon Ring, like a falling crescent moon, pierced directly through Han Lingchuan's body.

The corpses fell to the ground with a thud. Outside the palace, everything was in a mess, with traces of battle everywhere.

Su Yan and Long Qiushui showed no sign of letting their guard down. Suddenly, applause rang out in the spacious hall. "Clap clap clap"

At the main entrance of the hall, a man in black robes stood there, clapping his hands and saying calmly, "As expected of that old fellow Gu Sanqian's disciple, impressive skills."

His tone was indifferent, but his underlying aura was like that of a venomous snake lurking in a haystack, chilling to the extreme.

"Did you tamper with their bodies?"

Su Yan questioned him coldly. The man took off his heavy hat, revealing a pale, young face, pale and bloodless, like a corpse.

Su Yan and Long Qiushui looked doubtful, because this person's condition was extremely strange. His aura was strong, but he showed no signs of life.

The strange young man waved his hand, and suddenly two bloody shadows flew out from the spines of Cao Zangfeng and Han Lingchuan.

The blood shadow, half real and half illusory, landed in front of the man. It turned out to be two slender blood swords, with hilts like bone and blades like blood, eerily crimson.

Su Yan sensed a familiar feeling emanating from the sword shadow. Long Qiushui's eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "Yao Lixuan!"

"Hahaha," Yao Lixuan laughed loudly, but his eyes were full of coldness: "You recognized me. Today, you two can die knowing why."

The two felt a chill in their hearts, neither understanding how Yao Lixuan had entered this secret realm.

The Poison Dragon Valley Secret Realm is restricted, and martial artists above the Danqiao Realm cannot enter. Forcing entry risks breaking through the secret realm and endangering oneself.

Yao Lixuan had already broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm back when he was at Sword Peak, and even fought against Gu Sanqian. Now he has actually entered this realm, and even changed his appearance. How did he do that?

Su Yan caught a glimpse of Cao Zangfeng's corpse out of the corner of his eye and suddenly remembered how strange their figures and movements had been, like puppets. He immediately connected this to the strange behavior of the 'Yao Lixuan' in front of him.

"With your fake identities here, do you think you've got us both figured out?"

Yao Lixuan's face darkened, and he sneered, "No wonder you were able to kill my stupid sister. You have good eyesight. But do you think I can't do anything to you just because I've suppressed my cultivation?"

Keng!
Yao Lixuan waved his hand, and instantly the two blood swords merged into one, transforming into the Myriad Bones Sword, with howling winds and ghostly soldiers sweeping across the land.

Su Yan's expression darkened, and he immediately summoned his insect armor while simultaneously unleashing the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal.

With a thunderous roar, the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal was pierced through by a single sword strike. Su Yan dodged, but was still struck heavily by the sword, flying backward and crashing into the rock wall.

Yao Lixuan walked over step by step, the illusory image of the Myriad Bones Sword in his hand constantly swirling.

He sneered: "The Celestial Realm of Stars has two minor realms: Star Chart Dominance and Star Sea King. Even if I am an incarnation, do you think I am just playing house with you?"

Behind his transformed body, borrowing the power of his original form, sword shadows surrounded the three cores. At the same time, countless stars twinkled behind him, first forming a sword skeleton diagram with no less than hundreds of star apertures, and then extending outwards, where the starlight was even more dazzling.

The powerful aura completely suppressed Long Qiushui and Su Yan.

Long Qiushui moved swiftly, and the Frost Moon Ring and Shadow Sun Ring rushed straight towards Yao Lixuan to attack.

With a mere flick of his wrist, Yao Lixuan conjured a blade, its light as red as blood, and slashed directly at the Frost Moon Ring and the Shadow Sun Ring, striking them with a clang that knocked the magical artifacts away, embedding them in the rock wall.

He flashed and appeared directly in front of Long Qiushui. With a flick of his sword, the Heavenly Python Dharma Body on Long Qiushui's body shattered instantly, and with a soft thud, the sword light pierced through her shoulder.

Roar

Su Yan directly released four ferocious insects: the Dragon-Eating Worm, the Soldier-Swallowing Netherworld Moth, the Blood Bone Centipede King, and the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust. The Hundred Poison Gu Seal enveloped his body, and their energy was connected. Then he attacked Yao Lixuan.

Upon seeing the four ferocious insects, Yao Lixuan's pupils contracted, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "This boy must not be allowed to live. The fact that he can cultivate beasts to this extent is something even Gu Sanqian couldn't achieve back then."

Once murderous intent arose in his heart, his actions became increasingly fierce.

The four ferocious insects attacked like a violent storm, turning the entire underground cavern upside down.

Yao Lixuan held the sword in one hand, channeling the power of the starry sea to connect with heaven and earth, directly transforming it into a barrier about ten feet in size.

The attacks rained down, creating countless ripples, but Yao Lixuan remained unmoved, constructing a barrier with sword lights.

Su Yan flashed and immediately appeared in front of Long Qiushui, grabbed her arm, and was about to rush out of the valley.

Yao Lixuan sneered and said, "If you get away, I won't have to stay in the Holy Weapon Path anymore."

With a single sword strike, a hundred-foot-long blade of light pierced the eye, shattering the thousands upon thousands of illusory weapon shadows of the Devouring Weapon Demon.

The sword light engulfed the Netherworld Domain, leaving the Devouring Soldier Nethermoth with no way to avoid it. It was directly severed in half by the sword light.

The Blood Bone Centipede King attacked desperately, but Yao Lixuan flashed forward, his five fingers like swords, piercing straight through its body.

He walked up to the Dragon-Eating Worm and said calmly, "Born to devour dragons, growing to devour dragons, if you were to grow stronger, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for you."

With a swift grab, he suppressed the dragon-eating worm's transformation into a poisonous dragon. The poisonous gas corroded his arm, but he didn't care at all.

A sword of ten thousand bones pressed down on the spine of the dragon-eating worm, snapping it in two.

The Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust, corrupted by evil energy, released tens of thousands of fiend bees.

Yao Lixuan sneered repeatedly. He too cultivated the Myriad Bones Sword with baleful energy, so how could he be afraid of baleful energy now? On the contrary, he was excited.

"Its essence is malevolent; it would be a waste to give such a ferocious insect to a child like you."

The sword light, like silk threads, crisscrossed and blocked, instantly scattering the Blood Fiend to pieces. The Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust was imprisoned by the sword light, and the evolved bone cage directly imprisoned her.

The sword shattered the four insects in an instant, and Su Yan and his companion had no time to escape.

The entrance was sealed off; a blood-red sword shattered the passage, completely trapping the two of them here.

Yao Lixuan attacked with his sword, but Su Yan, the Tiger-Subduing King, appeared and punched him.

The sword technique crumbled, but the Tiger-Taming King now had an even more glaring wound.

"palace"

Dragon Autumn Water Frost Moon Ring and Shadow Sun Ring struck Yao Lixuan's brow, but Yao Lixuan summoned his sword to block and deflect the attack.

He sneered inwardly; it would be strange if the two of them could escape from such a sealed underground palace.

Suddenly, thunder rumbled, and Yao Lixuan stared wide-eyed in astonishment as Su Yan and Long Qiushui were enveloped in lightning.

With a flash of lightning, Su Yan and Long Qiushui appeared outside the palace gates.

Sensing their arrival, the gate opened immediately. Su Yan and Long Qiushui had no time to think carefully and disappeared inside.

"Poison Dragon Taoist!"

Yao Lixuan's hundred-foot sword light attacked, intending to blast open the gate, but unexpectedly a poisonous dragon coiled around it, its blood-red maw opening wide, instantly swallowing the sword light.

Enraged, Yao Lixuan landed in front of the palace gate, which remained tightly shut as before.

"Poison Dragon Taoist, you don't think a palace can protect the two of them, do you? Let's see how long you can keep it running!"

Yao Lixuan's face was gloomy. He immediately planted the Myriad Bones Sword into the ground, and the baleful aura enveloped the entire main hall entrance, gradually eroding the restrictions on it.
