The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 305 A Sudden Turn of Events
Inside the Four Spirits Cage, all the Dharma Aspects changed their expressions. The righteous path was short-handed, and all the Dharma Aspect True Persons were pulled into the cage to fight against the demonic warriors.

Now, at Wangtian Pass, there are no other Dharma forms to rely on.

But now, three Dharma Aspect warriors from the Witch Kingdom have suddenly appeared. Even if there are many more Danqiao Realm warriors, they will probably have a hard time dealing with them.

"All disciples, retreat and defend the barrier!"

Huang Shouzhen forced back Jiang Ye, who was fighting him, with a single sword strike. He then rode a dragon, hovering in mid-air, and stood directly at the boundary.

Behind him, the Gengjin Mountain-Turning Flood Dragon's Gengjin energy condensed, resembling ten thousand golden sword lights, constantly intersecting and converging behind him.
With a single sword strike, Mu Nianshuang of the Sword Sect tore apart hundreds of warriors in front of her, then stood with her sword hanging at the edge of the barrier.

Similarly, Ji Wuming, a true disciple of the Nine Peaks Sect, had a gloomy expression. He held two crescent-shaped blades and was preparing to kill all the Nine Peaks Sect disciples who were causing trouble on the city wall.

However, with the appearance of such a powerful figure from the Wu Kingdom, it's truly impossible to delay any longer.

"Let the three of you consume the spiritual essence of the Hundred Peaks Barrier Mountain Range."

"Can"

The three immediately chanted the incantation, and a third of the command talismans flew out from their bodies, working together to form a single point. Then, the entire formation emitted a dazzling red light, and the barrier became incredibly strong, like a high red wall, keeping out all attacks and demonic warriors.

The mountains trembled and shook; in this land of nearly a hundred peaks, all the power converged here.

It was like a giant dragon, stretching for thousands of feet, awakening, its roar shaking the heavens.

However, Su Yan could clearly sense that the dragon's head, body, and tail were incomplete and could not be truly connected together.

'The Hundred Peaks Grand Formation has flaws. No matter how strong the mountain-protecting formation is, it can hardly reach a level comparable to the Golden Body Realm. Moreover, isolating everything in this way can only buy time.'

His expression was not good; the situation on the battlefield was particularly dire at this moment.

Inside the Four Spirits Cage, the Dharma Forms were no longer evenly matched. With Shuang Mingqian injured, the Demonic Path likely had plenty of ways to defeat them little by little.

At least until the Four Spirits Prison collapses, the righteous path will likely suffer heavy losses.

On the ground battlefield, however, lies the most terrifying place, where three Dharma forms are attacking.

Even if the mountain-protecting formation is fully activated to isolate all attacks, it will probably be difficult to maintain it for long.

When the Dharma Minister of the Witch Kingdom saw the great formation activated, it seemed to divide the battlefield into two parts like a red city wall.

Helian Wumu looked at the imposing formation before him, his expression calm and unhurried: "As expected of the formation known as the Hundred Peaks Barrier, if the Great Dragon hadn't been severed, even a Golden Body Realm cultivator could probably hold it off for a while. But now it's difficult."

Wu Chiluo, standing to the side, narrowed his deep-set eyes slightly: "The one who bears the burden must be able to withstand it himself."

The stronger the formation, the stronger the person in charge of the formation must be. If they want to fight against the golden body, then Chu Qidao and the others will have to come.

But will Chu Qidao and the others be able to free up their resources?
Yin Jiuyun said in a hoarse voice, "Make your move. Those three juniors can hold us off for a while."

With a wave of his hand, Yin Jiuyun produced a human skin image from beneath his gray robe. The image depicted a human bone spirit reborn from the ashes.

boom

The Yin God Diagram unleashed a torrent of blue flames, crossing the battlefield and striking the great formation.

Flames filled the sky, engulfing most of the protective layer. The powerful burning force eroded a large layer of the protective layer, leaving it teetering on the verge of collapse.

All three were ready to make a move, and they flew to a position no more than a hundred feet in front of the barrier.

Huang Shouzhen flew to Su Yan's side, and Su Yan looked surprised.

"Nephew, I need your help this time."

With a swift movement, the command token controlling the grand formation flew to Su Yan's front.

Su Yan looked surprised: "What is this, Uncle-Master?"

"You have been able to hold them off for half an hour. Among all the alchemical chambers here, only your physical body is the strongest."

Although Su Yan was only at the peak of the third level of the Danqiao Realm, his physical strength was unmatched even by Zhuxingtian.

He is the one with the strongest ability to control formations and bear weight.

Huang Shouzhen said with a smile, "I'll try to see through the Dharma Form and fight them."

He laughed heartily, but Su Yan frowned, his gaze shifting slightly. He was completely unprepared for a breakthrough under these circumstances.

If one's mind is unstable when the Dharma form is condensed, and one goes astray and becomes possessed by demons, the result may be death and the dissipation of one's spiritual power.

"Can"

Su Yan nodded, grabbed the token with one hand, and a powerful force instantly surged into his body.

The entire formation has been fully activated. Even if the person in charge of the formation is just a fulcrum, how could the power passing through his body be small?

This torrent, like the ever-flowing Yangtze River, continuously assaulted his body.

'No wonder they needed me to come.'

Su Yan opened his eyes, a sharp glint in them, and his aura suddenly surged.

"Haha, as expected, only you can handle it, so I'm relieved."

Huang Shouzhen's figure vanished into the Yellow Dragon's True Meaning, soaring upwards, with a Yellow Dragon Sword hanging in front of him.

"Huang Shouzhen has glimpsed the realm of Dharma here; please, gentlemen, observe the ceremony!"

Success means life, failure means death.

"Sword Sect's Mu Nianshuang faces death to live today."

"Ji Wuming of the Nine Peaks Sect has today broken through the Dharma Form!"

All three were at the peak of the Celestial Realm, and had honed their skills in the Star Chart and Star Sea realms for a long time, so they certainly had the potential to break through at any time.

However, breaking through on the front lines is also a huge adventure.

"Disrupt their breakthrough!"

At this moment, on the battlefield inside the barrier, there were a total of forty-three Danqiao Realm warriors on the demonic path and seven Danqiao Realm warriors who had betrayed the Nine Peaks Sect. They all abandoned their opponents and attacked the three of them directly.

"Stop them!"

The three factions of Danqiao martial artists immediately reacted and took action to stop them.

Yin Yuxi fought alone against three Zhuxingtian warriors, his blue and purple swords clashing like rosy clouds, holding off his opponents.

Dragon Autumn Water Shadow Sun Ring and Frosty Moon Ring encircled the two people, blocking them a hundred feet away.

Lu Qihua and Liu Caifeng of the Sword Sect...

Zhuang Qihang and Ji Ning'er of the Nine Peaks Sect...

The group of cultivators simultaneously attacked, forming an impenetrable defense around the three of them within a hundred feet.

The Nine Peaks Sect traitors were closest to them, and initially had no opponents to entangle with them. In a short time, they, along with four demonic cultivators at the Danqiao stage, had already rushed in front of them.

Jia Le's face was grim, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He moved swiftly, his Heavenly Steel Ghost Face Blade already heading straight for Ji Wuming.

"Don't hold back! If Ji Wuming breaks through, none of us will survive!"

The Hundred Peaks Formation divided the battlefield in two, creating a prison both inside and outside. They could not escape; only by capturing Wangtian Pass could they survive.

Every cultivator present knew this principle, and they all exerted their utmost strength and skill, heading straight for the three.

One Celestial Warrior and ten Triple Celestial Warriors—this combined force, if they formed an array, could probably exchange one or two blows with a Dharma Aspect Realm expert.

However, the hundred-foot-long black blade aura had only reached fifty feet in front of Ji Wuming when it was shattered by an ancient pagoda that fell from the sky.

Su Yan's long robe fluttered as he stood in front of the three, his cold gaze sweeping over Jia Le and the others.

bang
The barrier of the Hundred Peaks Formation behind him was still shaking. Helian Wumu, Wuchiluo, and Yin Jiuyun, fearing things might get complicated, were already making their move. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Su Yan had no more time to entangle himself with these people.

"Kill him to help Senior Faxiang break through his cultivation barrier!"

Jia Le shouted for everyone to attack and headed straight for Su Yan.

"Leave no one behind!"

Su Yan's gaze was icy. At this moment, tens of thousands of Fiend Bees surged out of the Insect Realm space and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, they condensed into the Divine Fiend Locust.

Its ferocious power soared to the heavens, and its malevolent aura permeated the air.

With a single utterance, a beam of malevolent energy shot forth, eroding the attacks of Jia Le and his companions.

The Star Shadow Spider appeared before them, its shadow spreading rapidly like the darkness after sunset, its countless dark threads heading straight for Jia Le and the others.

Jia Le's expression changed drastically, and he frantically dodged, but the sound of hissing continued to come. The shadow threads had pierced through their armor and penetrated their bodies, almost tearing them to pieces.

The Rock Demon Ant Queen, the Wind Thunder Bug, and the Spirit Rhinoceros Tiger all appeared at this time.

Five Tier 3 wild beasts appeared, their auras instantly overwhelming the entire battlefield.

"How...how do you have so many contracted beasts?!"

Jia Le looked terrified and had completely lost control of his expression.

Among the five wild beasts, the leading Divine Fiend Locust and Star Shadow Demon Spider both possess the strength of the third-tier perfected stage, which is no weaker than human martial artists at the Star Chart or Star Sea realms.

Not to mention, there's also the support of the Rock Demon Queen, Wind Thunder Bug, and Spirit Rhinoceros Tiger.

Su Yan didn't offer any reply, only giving a cold glance before the Divine Fiend Locust appeared to Jia Le's left.

Enveloped in malevolent energy, the blades slashed and blasted towards them.

Jia Le frantically dodged, but the Danqiao martial artist beside him could not escape and his body was split in two.

More ferocious bees surged out from the ferocious energy and burrowed directly into Jia Le's body.

The insects devoured his heart, and his true essence was completely eroded, rendering him unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as he was eaten away until only a skeleton remained.

The Danqiao warriors around them still wanted to escape, but unfortunately, the Star Shadow Demon Spider had already spun a large net in mid-air, trapping them within.

The starlight was like a blade; in just a moment, while their bodies were being manipulated, they were all turned into minced meat.

More than ten elixir apertures were destroyed in a single breath.

All the Danqiao martial artists on the field looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"I told you he was a monster."

Yu Lingbo of the Sword Sect was shocked. Although he knew Su Yan was powerful, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement at such terrifying combat strength.

Lou Baishan's pupils contracted. Su Yan's strength far exceeded his imagination. Compared to when he was in the Poison Dragon Valley Secret Realm, he had become more than one or two times stronger.
Yin Yuxi was also shocked and relieved that Su Yan was a disciple of the Beast King Sect. With more hope in her heart, she solemnly shouted, "Fellow Daoists, form an array to protect our three senior brothers and sisters, and let Junior Nephew Su Yan concentrate on the main array!"

Seeing Su Yan's fierce power, Helian Wumu and the other two also accelerated their attack on the great formation. They could not affect Huang Shouzhen and the other two's breakthrough from within. If they dragged it out, things might change.

"Okay, stop these evil thieves."

The crowd responded and descended. The Danqiao warriors of the Sword Sect launched the main attack, the Nine Peaks Sect held them back, and the Danqiao warriors of the Beast King Sect, along with their contracted beasts, stabilized the entire defensive line, thus stopping all the demonic Danqiao warriors in one fell swoop.

Yin Yuxi secretly transmitted her voice to Long Qiushui, Mu Yu, and Yan Yin beside her: "Junior Brother Yan, Junior Sister Mu, if Senior Brother fails to break through and the great formation collapses, the three of us will use all our life-saving methods to fight to the death to send Junior Nephew Su Yan away. Understand?"

Her voice was solemn, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

Yan Yin and Mu Yu both nodded solemnly, knowing that Su Yan's talent and foundation were only at the Golden Body Realm level.

'Junior Sister Long, you've protected my nephew's safety.'

They would protect each other even unto death.

The four of them made worst-case scenario plans, all worried about Su Yan's fate after failure.

On Su Yan's side, he ordered the Divine Fiend Bees and Star Shadow Demon Spiders to rush into the battlefield, spreading their fiendish energy to every corner of the fortress. The fiend bees launched a surprise attack, slaughtering all the demonic warriors who were left behind.

The shadows of the Star Shadow Spider permeated every spot, its silk as sharp as knives, ripping apart every opponent.

At the same time, he turned and flew to the front of the crumbling fortress, his body radiating red light, and streaks of red lightning as thick as tree branches spread out and surged into the fortress.

The barrier stabilized a bit more in the next moment, withstanding the bombardment from Helian Wumu, Wuchiluo, and Yin Jiuyun.

Su Yan's body trembled, and the immense power within him continued to impact his body.

Helian Wumu stared directly at Su Yan through the barrier, sneering incessantly: "Boy, your physical body is indeed strong, but with your cultivation at the third level, let's see how many times you can withstand the backlash."

Having said that, he shook the bone staff in his hand, and a three-armed Yin Corpse Dharma Image appeared behind him.

The three-armed corpse clenched its fist and attacked, slamming it directly onto the barrier with a thunderous roar.

A crack suddenly appeared in the barrier, and Su Yan's body, including his Divine Soul Golden Core, Blood Qi Golden Core, True Essence Golden Core, and meridians, felt as if they had been struck by a wild bull the size of a mountain.

Blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth, his blood and qi surged, and his face turned ashen.

"One strike!"

Helian Wumu revealed a sinister smile. No matter how strong his physical body was, he probably couldn't withstand such a large formation.

Wuchiluo raised the corner of his mouth and summoned his own Dharma form, which was none other than a crocodile-headed beast.

bang
Another blow struck, and cracks appeared on Su Yan's body. His powerful physique and bloodline continuously healed his injuries, and the cracks disappeared quickly. However, the disordered meridians in his body could not be directly restored.

Yin Jiuyun's Yin God Diagram floated before him as he coldly asked, "Open the barrier, and I'll spare your life. You'll serve my Witch Kingdom for three hundred years, and I'll guarantee you'll achieve the Dharma Aspect stage, how about that?"

Su Yan raised his eyes, his gaze filled with a cold smile, and then said, "If the Three Heavens are not feasible, then what about the Celestial Realm of All Stars?"

As the voice faded, the three dantians appeared, shining like stars and instantly illuminating the surrounding star apertures.

He already had 180 small star apertures lit up, and he originally planned to pave the road further and more solidly, to complete the journey of the Starry Sky.

This is all we can do now.

Stepping into the Celestial Realm, the power of the Three Pills spread, directly illuminating the number of minor star apertures to three hundred.

Although it was less than the number of cycles of the heavens, Su Yan's aura had already surged, revealing him to be a Celestial Warrior of the Stars.

The insect-bone armor fully opened, enveloping him within it.

Behind him were the Tiger-Taming King, the Nine-Headed Poisonous Dragon, the Star-Moon Centipede, the Poisonous Star Ape, and the Dragon-Eating Insect...

More than a dozen true meanings emerged, surrounded by starlight, each occupying a position.

The Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower floated atop the tower, the Poison Dragon Sword gripped tightly in his hand, his aura rising steadily, faintly reminiscent of Huang Shouzhen and his companions.

At this moment, Su Yan raised his eyes and looked at Helian Wumu and the other two.

The three of them couldn't help but feel a sense of shock. He had broken through so suddenly, and he even had such an imposing aura.

This child cannot be kept.

"What can Zhuxingtian do? With such a grand formation, your physical body..."

"If my physical body can't handle it, then what about being with it?"

In an instant, the giant molten scorpion, as large as a mountain, landed on the battlefield. Su Yan stepped on its head, and the patterns on its insect armor appeared, like lava, connecting the two together, and their auras were completely linked.

"A colossal beast?!"

Helian Wumu gritted his teeth, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. With the giant spirit as the carrier, the great formation was probably even more solid.
