The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 357 The Divine Manifestation of the Insect Lord
When Su Yan guided the immense divine power contained in the Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree into his body, it surged wildly through his meridians like a raging Yangtze River.

His spirit stood within the inner landscape, resisting this immense power like a deity.

Within the inner realm, the true essence of the ferocious insects had transformed into stars, and Su Yan stood in the crimson universe, his figure resembling that of a god.

My thought is divine!
At this moment, his divine soul continued to grow stronger and his power continued to gather. Behind him was the eternally unchanging Ferocious Insect Cauldron, while in front of him, the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower and the Poison Dragon Sword were also constantly absorbing the power of the Demon-Suppressing Divine Wood.

The Ferocious Insect Cauldron trembled slightly, and countless scarlet insect shadows appeared. With the help of the Demon-Suppressing Divine Wood and the vast earthly evil power of this place, it actually began to actively temper the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower and the Poison Dragon Sword.

Su Yan was taken aback, but then his heart leaped with joy. The Poison Dragon Sword was being transformed by the Ferocious Insect Cauldron. Originally, it had already reached the fourth-tier top-grade level, but now its form was undergoing a tremendous change.

The shadows of ferocious insects covered it, turning its entire body scarlet and exuding a fierce and savage aura. An endless hunger and a desire to devour continued to spread, as if this sword was enough to swallow everything.

Not only the Poison Dragon Sword, but Su Yan's divine soul also became increasingly powerful. Standing in the universe of ferocious insects, countless stars flew out and connected with him in crimson energy lines.

Hunyuan Guiyi
Having chosen this path, he must inevitably condense his own Dharma form.

'The ferocious insect gives rise to myriad laws; I shall be its master.'

As his divine sense traversed his own universe of ferocious insects, a thought arose within Su Yan.

No matter how many ferocious insects there are, or how powerful their bloodlines are, they are all under the control of the insect master.

The insect master is supreme and should be regarded as the Dharma form!
Countless insect shadows converged, beginning to build its foundation...

At this moment, outside the inner realm, the earthly evil power of the entire Demon Suppression Valley seemed to be swept away, and a red pillar of light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Demon Suppression Valley.

Everyone stared in shock at the source of the beam of light, where Su Yan hovered in mid-air, now like a black hole, devouring everything around him.

Earthly Fiend Power, Demon-Suppressing Divine Wood, Earthly Fiend Divine Wood, Spiritual Energy...

He released over a thousand third-tier elemental stones, but they have all been reduced to fragments.

He had already swallowed the three Five Elements Dharma Aspect Divine Pills, along with the other third-tier pills.

The immense power caused Yang Ziyong, Shan Xiaotian, Ming Jing, and the others to change their expressions drastically.

Out of the corner of their eye, they could see the towering Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree shrinking at a visible rate. Su Yan, who had only broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm, was able to absorb so much immense power.

monster!

Even with their talent, seeing someone like Su Yan, they couldn't help but secretly curse him as a monster.

"huhu"

At this moment, a fierce wind howled, and the monster's mournful roars rose and fell. Everyone was startled and turned around to look.

A crimson mist surged forth, covering the sky and reaching a height of hundreds of meters.

One head, two heads, three heads, four heads...

A total of seven fourth-tier evil spirits, along with more than 100,000 third-tier, second-tier, and first-tier evil spirits, attacked in a mighty army-like manner.

"Why are there so many fourth-tier evil spirits? What are the Demon Suppression Army doing?"

Li Jingdu was furious. Although the Demon Suppression Valley was a dangerous training ground, that did not mean that so many fourth-order evil spirits were allowed to appear.

Even under the Demon Suppression Formation, fourth-tier evil spirits cannot unleash their full power, but it is enough to endanger their lives.

Moreover, the evil spirits have now come out in full force, numbering over 100,000, which is not something that can be easily dealt with.

Everyone's hearts sank, and they stopped fighting.

Ming Jing spoke very quickly and immediately said, "I'm afraid it was that Fellow Daoist Su who dug up the roots of these hidden evil spirits."

"what?"

Shan Xiaotian still didn't understand, but Yang Ziyong said in a deep voice, "Hmph, the fourth-order evil spirits have already gained intelligence. In the past, they have been training and hiding themselves, barely surviving in the Demon Suppression Valley. But now, that guy is not only going to devour such a divine object as the Demon Suppression Divine Wood, but he has also swallowed too much earthly evil power, making them unable to hide for a long time to come."

Not only are they left with nowhere to hide, but they are also cut off from any possibility of becoming stronger, which is tantamount to forcing them to their deaths.

"Tell your disciple to stop, or we'll all die here."

Ming Jing spoke coldly to Long Qiushui, who raised her eyes and said, "If you stop, will they stop?"

"Humans, hand over the Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree!"

Just as Long Qiushui had asked in return, countless evil spirits had already surrounded them completely.

These evil spirits were under the control of fourth-tier evil spirits, but their instinctive ferocity made them look murderous and their faces were contorted, as if they wanted to pounce on and devour the humans in front of them.

Everyone's expression turned serious.

"You beast, do you want to die?"

Li Xiuwen's anger surged, and the domineering aura of the Crimson Blood Dragon Lord Dharma Form was revealed, forming a blood-red blade that went straight for the headless ghost general-like evil spirit.

In Li Xiuwen's view, these evil spirits were nothing more than pigs and sheep raised in captivity. Now they dared to be so aggressive. Did they really think that the demon-suppressing power of the Demon-Suppressing Valley was just for show?
"kill"

However, the seven fourth-tier evil spirits had absolutely no room for negotiation at this point.

"We've seized the Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree; today we'll break free of that cage!"

The serpent-headed demon, with its fierce vertical pupils, transformed into a giant serpent and attacked the group.

Damn!

The battle was about to begin, and endless evil spirits swarmed over, as if to completely overwhelm them.

"Fellow Daoist Long, let us temporarily cease hostilities and let the ferocious insects join us in resisting the evil spirits, otherwise none of us will escape!"

Ming Jing immediately stepped in as a mediator. She knew that in the current situation, only a few of them who had broken through to the fourth rank might be able to escape, but it was almost impossible for the others to escape the pursuit of these fourth-rank evil spirits.

Her mind was as clear as a mirror. If she didn't speak now, and someone managed to escape later, the whole group would probably be thrown into chaos.

"it is good"

Long Qiushui made a quick decision and nodded in agreement.

The group immediately engaged in battle with the evil spirit.

The entire battlefield was plunged into darkness. Long Qiushui, Ming Jing, and others, who had already broken through to the fourth rank, along with other fourth-rank ferocious insects such as the Divine Fiend Locust, the Devouring Soldier Moth, and the Eroding Dragon Worm, engaged in a fierce battle.

For dozens of rounds, the swarming evil spirits only multiplied.

Throughout the Demon Suppression Valley, a continuous stream of evil spirits are being born and pouring into this battlefield.

The beam of light shooting into the sky from the crack was incredibly bright, and it wasn't just the aura emanating from the Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree.

Su Yan's breakthrough momentum gradually spread, and that oppressive sense of unease also drove them to destroy this natural enemy.

'What on earth is Su Yan doing? If he continues like this, I'm afraid no one will survive...'

Shan Xiaotian's face was gloomy, and he was already planning how to evacuate.

Su Yan broke through his defenses but gained no benefit; instead, he was dragged here to help him block the enemy.

It wasn't just Shan Xiaotian; many people probably felt the same way at that moment.

Not being able to get pork leads to a lot of trouble; who would do such a losing business?
Just then, the Fiend Lion King's body swelled up and suddenly opened its blood-red maw.

The giant maw was like a black hole, swallowing nearly ten thousand evil spirits in an instant.

His aura changed abruptly in an instant.

Fourth tier! Everyone was shocked. At this moment, countless chains appeared in the sky above Demon Suppression Valley, shooting directly towards the Fiend Lion King.

However, these chains had only spread into the air when they were pulled back by countless swarming evil spirits, whose physical destruction delayed their arrival.

"Roar"

With a sweep of its massive lion claw, the Demon-Suppressing Army's Dharma Image Flag sent Tian Qinghu flying, causing the Dharma Image to shake and shatter.

Everyone's faces turned ashen; no one had expected that the Fiend Lion King would obtain complete fourth-tier power in such a short time.

"go!"

Without saying a word, Shan Xiaotian, Yang Ziyong, and the others transformed into rainbows and disappeared in an instant. In a flash, the disciples of the Shan family and the people of the Changsheng Pavilion had already retreated.

Long Qiushui's face was as cold as frost. He glanced at the rift valley out of the corner of his eye. With the double rings of the sun and moon in front of him, he actually flew towards the evil spirit lion king instead.

"crazy?!"

Mingjing was still hesitating when she realized that Long Qiushui's actions, even at the Dharma Aspect Realm, made a huge difference between being suppressed and not being suppressed, enough to endanger her life.

She raised her hand and shot out the Azure Origin Sword to assist her punch, but just as she drew her sword, a domineering and majestic aura suddenly came from behind her.

Mingjing turned around abruptly, and what she saw before her was a scene she would never forget in her life.

The Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree collapsed, and stars emerged from the red light. Ancient and indestructible insect shadows streaked across the cosmos. Between these stars and the cosmos where ferocious insects roamed, a giant spirit clad in red armor and wearing a mask with divine patterns appeared before everyone.

Even in its initial manifestation, the Dharma body was already three hundred feet in size, as if the entire universe were contained within its palm.

The image of the insect lord deity!
Su Yan stood amidst the image of the Insect Lord God, his eyes calm yet filled with majesty.

Many true meanings have converged into one, and now they have become this image of the insect lord.

He stepped over the crowd, and the image of the Insect Lord God had already arrived between the crowd and the endless evil spirits.

Wow
A barrage of chains hurtled towards Su Yan and the Dharma Image, his power also exceeding its limits.

However, Su Yan ignored them completely and faced the swarming evil spirits head-on.

The Insect Lord God's Dharma Image conjured a crimson, alien-shaped longsword—the Myriad Insects Star-Eating Sword.

This sword was transformed from the Poison Dragon Sword and modified by the Ferocious Insect Cauldron. It is connected to the bloodline of the Insect Lord Su Yan and has already acquired the power of a Dao weapon.

The Insect Lord God's Dharma Form swept across with a single sword strike, the sword light instantly spreading outwards, as if severing a wisp of starlight.

The evil spirits let out a shrill cry, but in the next moment they were all destroyed by this sword.

"Let's all attack and kill him!"

The Fiend Lion King pounced, but its roar was clearly filled with extreme fear.

Seven fourth-tier evil spirits launched an attack together, each displaying their unique abilities, and their attacks were enough to tear apart the Demon Suppression Valley.

However, just as the attack landed in front of Su Yan's Dharma Image, an ancient pagoda appeared in the left hand of the Insect Lord God Venerable.

"town!"

The Tower of Ten Thousand Insects flew up and crashed down, shattering their attacks at the same time.

The fourth-order evil spirits were terrified, but Su Yan did not give them time to react.

The Tower of Ten Thousand Insects continued to grow larger, and in an instant it pressed down on them.

They tried their best to block, but in the next moment they were all pressed to the bottom of the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower. The countless chains inside the tower were like flexible arms, completely binding them.

Its power was continuously drained by the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower, and it completely lost the ability to resist.

Su Yan's gaze swept over the remaining evil spirits. With a wave of his hand, countless illusory evil bees rushed out, devouring these evil spirits one by one. They then transformed into red specks like fireflies and disappeared into the body of the Insect Lord God.

In just over ten breaths and three rounds of fighting, a situation that was originally destined to result in heavy losses was instead resolved by Su Yan.

Ming Jing was so shocked she couldn't speak, while Li Xiuwen, Li Jingdu, and Li Lengyan had extremely complicated expressions.

"The evil spirit has been destroyed. Is there any fellow cultivator who still needs the Demon-Suppressing Divine Wood?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly, inwardly cursing: 'What a load of rubbish! Su Yan has already devoured everything; who would want this stuff?'

"The Great Evolution Daoist Sect has no affinity with the Demon-Suppressing Divine Tree."

After Mingjing expressed her opinion, almost everyone else shook their heads in unison.

If Su Yan can unleash such powerful strength here, imagine how much more he can do outside.

If they were to settle scores later, that would truly be a case of losing more than one gains.

Su Yan raised the corner of his mouth and shot out several bottles of pills, one for almost everyone.

"Su Yan gained an advantage in blocking the enemy earlier, so I'm giving these pills to everyone."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Su."

Li Xiuwen clasped his hands in thanks, and Li Lengyan, who was standing to the side, suddenly said, "After we return to the royal city, Fellow Daoist Su, you can come to Tingxiang Garden for a chat. I will introduce you to the pride of the royal city."

Li Xiuwen and Li Jingdu's expressions changed slightly. They both knew who Li Lengyan was on good terms with, and it was self-evident who she was doing this for.

"If I go back, I'll definitely go if I have the chance."

Everyone offered their congratulations and then left one after another, with no one lingering.

Since Su Yan has already broken through and the evil spirits have been completely dispersed, there is no point in them staying here.

Fortunately, they still have more than a day left, so they might be able to find a new Earthly Fiend Tree.

Time flew by, and on the third day, the gates of Demon Suppression Valley reopened, and everyone went out one after another.

boom

Once the restrictions were lifted, the auras of those martial artists who had broken through to the Dharma Aspect Realm were released without any concealment.

Apart from the first group to break through, members of the Dayan Dao Sect, the Longevity Pavilion, the royal family, and the Shan family have almost all completed their breakthroughs.

Some martial artists from minor sects also had their own opportunities, and the two of them completed their breakthroughs.

"Demon Suppression Valley is closed. After you have briefly recorded your experiences, you may leave."

Long Qiuhu led the team over and, as usual, announced the precautions. However, when his gaze fell on Su Yan, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Su Yan broke through, but he seemed unable to see through it.

'What exactly did this kid break through to?'

After everyone dispersed, Long Qiuhu finally stopped Su Yan in the military camp.

"Didn't you break through to the Dharma Form stage? How come I can't see through you?"

Logically speaking, although Long Qiuhu was not a Great Dharma Aspect, he still possessed the strength of the third level of Dharma Aspect. How could he not see through Su Yan, who had just broken through?

Long Qiushui was also in the tent, her gaze filled with curiosity. She couldn't see through Su Yan either, but she had gotten used to it.

Su Yan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Because I am also at the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm."
