The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 428 The Remnant Soul of the Martial Saint
The Soul-Eating Insects are extremely sensitive to the power of the soul. After receiving Su Yan's instructions, they immediately began to sense their surroundings.

Upon noticing the anomaly, he immediately flew away.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Wujiu was the most delighted, and Su Yan said to him, "Follow them."

With the Soul-Eating Insects in front, the four people followed behind, transforming into rainbows and flying at an extremely fast speed through the mist.

Their commotion naturally attracted the attention of many demons in the Sea of ​​Evil Souls.

One after another, ferocious monsters attacked, the weakest of which were at least second-tier, with some even fourth-tier or fifth-tier monsters among them.

The fifth-tier monster, resembling an octopus, did not attack the four people, but instead directly attacked the Soul-Eating Worm.

Fortunately, the evil bees released by the Divine Fiend Locust detected something amiss beforehand, and the Soul-Eating Insect itself was also highly perceptive, which is why it managed to dodge the attack.

The attack of the fifth-tier demonic soul octopus directly enraged Xiao Wujiu. Without waiting for Su Yan to make a move, he immediately summoned the Human Emperor Banner and, regardless of the consumption of his true essence, pulled out three fifth-tier ghost general secondary souls to besiege the demonic soul octopus.

Although the demons were ferocious, they were ultimately unable to stop the group. They traveled for two or three hundred miles through the Misty Sea and finally arrived at a raging sea of ​​evil spirits.

Looking out, the dark seawater churned and rolled, creating towering waves hundreds of feet high, as if a giant beast were writhing within them.

Thick fog enveloped the area, with black lightning constantly flashing. Several waterspouts appeared on the sea, churning the entire area and completely isolating it from view.

A towering mountain can be faintly seen rising from the depths of the storm.

At this moment, the energy flow was completely chaotic, and the Soul-Eating Insects continued to hover outside this sea area.

Brother Su

Xiao Wujiu looked at Su Yan, his eyes flickering slightly, wanting to hear a definite answer from Su Yan.

Su Yan nodded: "The Soul-Devouring Insect sensed a very high-quality soul here. However, this place seems to be another ruin."

He glanced at the stormy sea before him, then with a thought, released the Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Cover. Nine dragon shadows spread out in all directions, instantly enveloping the entire sea area.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Chu, each of you choose a direction, and we will attack this barrier together to break the storm."

"it is good"

The four of them each occupied a position, and feeling the power of the storm before them, none of them held back.

Xiao Wujiu summoned the Dharma Image Soul Hook Venerable, a forest of swords appeared behind Chu Jinglan, Luo Hongshao summoned the Fire Phoenix Dharma Image, and Su Yan also summoned his Insect Lord God Venerable Image.

Without any warning, the four of them launched an attack on the ruins before them as soon as the Dharma Image appeared.

The powerful attack drew out a dazzling array of colors in the sky, directly striking the ruins.

Eight jet-black waterspouts spun violently, carrying with them endless waves of spiritual energy, and suddenly formed a huge barrier.

The booming sound was incessant, like thunder in the sky.

The barrier shook violently after being attacked by the four of them.

The four men's eyes sharpened, but they remained silent and continued their attack.

This time, the Dharma Image took longer to prepare for the attack. On Su Yan's side, the Divine Fiend Locust and the Soul-Devouring Insect also mobilized a sky full of evil energy, like a dark red evil dragon, carrying a storm, and directly bombarded the barrier.

As the attack continued, cracks soon appeared in the barrier.

At this moment, a dark figure attacked, instantly breaking through the barrier from the inside out. Terrifying power spread out instantly, directly enveloping the four people.

"It's the remnant soul of a Martial Saint! Be careful!"

Xiao Wujiu spoke up to remind them, at which point the remnant soul of the Martial Saint was completely exposed to the four of them.

Although he was dressed entirely in black, surrounded by black spiritual energy, one could vaguely see that he was wearing a long blue robe, and his facial features were indistinct.

"You junior, how dare you covet my soul?!"

The shout was like a thunderclap. Luo Hongshao and Chu Jinglan both changed their expressions slightly, and Su Yan also felt his body sink, his eyes filled with solemnity.

Seventh level of the Golden Body Realm!
Although the aura emanating from the remnant soul was only at the seventh level of the Golden Body Realm, its pressure was at the level of a Martial Saint. Even though their souls were incomplete, this rebuke still made them wary.

"You remnant soul, please enter my banner, senior."

Xiao Wujiu waved the Emperor's Banner directly without holding back, and three fifth-tier ghost generals, along with two fourth-tier peak ghost generals and three thousand ghost cavalry, appeared directly on the Sea of ​​Fiend Souls.

Driven by the Dharma form of the Soul-Hooking Venerable and the soul body of the Human Emperor Banner, they launched a direct attack on the remnant soul of the Martial Saint.

The remnant soul of the Martial Saint was indeed only a fragmented divine soul. At this moment, he said no more and coldly said, "Kill!"

With a swift movement, his fist, like a storm, slammed directly towards the Emperor's Banner.

With a single strike, the divine soul surged, suppressing the three fifth-tier ghost generals so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.

"The sword reigns supreme!"

Chu Jinglan reacted and summoned the countless sharp swords on the Sword Forest Dharma Image, which transformed into a long river in the sky, rushing straight towards the remnant soul of the Martial Saint.

Swords rained down, their silver light like dragons.

There were no outsiders here, and Chu Jinglan showed no mercy, unleashing the full power of his Golden Body Realm.

The remnant soul of the Martial Saint possessed extremely strong combat instincts. Although it was only a remnant soul, it was able to block Chu Jinglan's attack with a single sweep of its hand, creating a massive vortex in mid-air.

His momentum continued to grow. At this moment, Luo Hongshao waved her Phoenix Silk and shot it at the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, trying to bind it.

Phoenix Silk transformed into a flying phoenix and arrived before the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, only to find that the remnant soul of the Martial Saint had vanished. Her hand transformed into a sharp blade, and in an instant, she was already beside the Fire Phoenix Dharma Image.

With a swift stroke, he was about to behead the Fire Phoenix Dharma Image.

Luo Hongshao's expression changed drastically. She quickly summoned back the Phoenix Silk to defend herself, using softness to overcome hardness. The flames burned fiercely, which forced the sword back.

Difficult!

In the lightning-fast exchange, the remnant soul of the Martial Saint moved with ease, showing no decline in spirit despite lacking consciousness.

They were all martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm, though they could unleash the combat power of the Golden Body Realm.

However, in terms of grasping the battle situation and the gap in their levels of understanding, it was still difficult to completely seize the weaknesses of the Martial Saint's remnant soul.

At this moment, Su Yan made his move. The Insect Lord God's large hand reached out and grabbed, and a hundred-foot-long bloody hand appeared in mid-air.

The Blood Demon Hand emitted a terrifying suction force, instantly pulling the remnant soul of the Martial Saint in by a large margin. The remnant soul of the Martial Saint suddenly exerted its strength, instinctively realizing Su Yan's power.

A terrifying black aura immediately emanated from his body, and then he unleashed a punch, accompanied by a dragon's roar, as a hundred-foot-tall ferocious beast vaguely appeared behind him.

The Blood Demon Hand collided with the Heavenly Beast Fist of the Martial Saint's remnant soul, and the aftershocks were so powerful that they stirred up a hundred-foot-high giant wave in the Sea of ​​Evil Souls.

Although the Blood Demon Hand slightly disintegrated, it instantly absorbed more true essence and coalesced back into its original terrifying blood hand shape.

The remnant soul of the Martial Saint slightly turned its head, as if it were a living person: "Interesting."

He charged directly at the Blood Demon Hand, and the closer he got, the more the divine soul power surrounding him disintegrated.

However, the remnant soul of the Martial Saint didn't care at all, and directly used his hand as a blade to slash out a hundred-foot-long blade aura.

This attack shattered more than half of the blade's energy, but the remaining powerful force still struck the Blood Demon Hand, piercing it with a soft "plop."

Taking advantage of the weakening suction, the remnant soul of the Martial Saint rushed straight to the core of the Dharma Image, trying to pull Su Yan out from the image of the Insect Lord God.

However, a strange flame landed on it as it passed through the Blood Demon's hand.

The flames ignited instantly upon contact with the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, who tried to extinguish them but found that the flames did not diminish at all due to his powerful divine soul. The stronger the divine soul, the stronger the fluctuations, and the more intense the burning of the Heart Flame became.

Xiao Wujiu, Luo Hongshao, and Chu Jinglan arrived at this moment.

Although the remnant soul of the Martial Saint was powerful, it began to struggle under Su Yan's control and could not fully defend itself.

As attacks rained down on it, more wounds began to appear on its already tattered soul.

Four against one, Su Yan used the Insect Lord God's appearance as the foundation, used the Heart Flame to sense its movements, used the Blood Demon Hand to control its actions, used the Divine Eye to capture the remnant soul of the Martial Saint's every move, and used the Killing Divine Light to continuously consume it.

Luo Hongshao and Chu Jinglan continued their attacks, weakening the power of the Martial Saint's remnant soul.

Xiao Wujiu then manipulated the Human Emperor Banner, continuously casting spells and laying down strange runes, attempting to suppress the remnant soul of the Martial Saint little by little.

Su Yan did not let the Soul-Devouring Insects take action, but instead used the Divine Fiend Locusts to carry out endless evil energy to pollute and restrain the remnant soul of the Martial Saint.

The Soul-Devouring Insect is a natural enemy of the soul body, so it would be appropriate for it to make a move. However, there is a risk that it might not stop and completely devour the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, or even devour more than half of its essence.

If that happens, all of Xiao Wujiu's preparations will have been in vain.

With the group working together so well, the remnant soul of the Martial Saint had absolutely no chance of escape.

The Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Shield is the strongest cage, binding it here.

"Binding of Ten Thousand Souls!"

At this moment, Xiao Wujiu finally completed his arrangements. As he fully activated the Human Emperor Banner, black chains shot out from the intersecting ghost cavalry, directly hitting the remnant soul of the Martial Saint.

The chains were silent, yet they bound the remnant soul of the Martial Saint tightly.

It struggled incessantly, and with just a few simple movements, it could snap the chains one by one.

Xiao Wujiu was prepared for the remnant soul of the Martial Saint's resistance.

The three-headed, fifth-tier ghost generals went straight up and grabbed the remnant soul of the Martial Saint. Runes from within the Human Emperor Banner continuously flowed into its body, gradually suppressing its soul power.

As expected, as Xiao Wujiu used his methods, the remnant soul of the Martial Saint gradually calmed down and was slowly pulled into the Human Emperor Banner, where it was eventually sealed inside by a series of seals.

"call"

Xiao Wujiu put away the Emperor's Banner. At this moment, all his souls were inside suppressing the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, so the Emperor's Banner became useless for a short time.

However, all of this is temporary.

Once he has fully refined the remnant soul of this Martial Saint, the Human Emperor Banner will likely advance to become a fifth-tier Dao Soldier, or even a high-grade fifth-tier Dao Soldier.

Xiao Wujiu's cultivation was already at its limit. Now that he has obtained the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, it will probably not be long before he breaks through to the Golden Body Realm and becomes the first martial artist on the Dragon Gate Ranking to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xiao, on achieving your wish."

At this moment, Luo Hongshao, Chu Jinglan, and Su Yan stepped forward to offer their congratulations. Although Xiao Wujiu's face was pale and his true essence was almost completely depleted, he still couldn't hide the joy on his face and said, "It's all thanks to the help of the three fellow Daoists. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to survive against this remnant soul of a Martial Saint on my own."

As he spoke, Xiao Wujiu took out several items from his storage ring and flew them toward Luo Hongshao and the other two.

He solemnly said, "This is the reward I promised before, please accept it, fellow Daoist. This help is more than just a transaction. I, Wujiu, will remember the kindness of these three friends. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Su Yan and the other two nodded with smiles. There was no need to say more; with Xiao Wujiu's promise, it would naturally come in handy in the future.

In fact, the importance of the items in the trade has probably taken a backseat to the fact that the four of them cooperated and formed an alliance. The friendship between them is much more important.

After all, all four of them are geniuses on the Dragon Gate Ranking. The Golden Body Realm is just the next step, not the ceiling for them.

With Xiao Wujiu's current remnant Martial Saint soul alone, plus the Nine Nether Sect's foundation, perhaps in a hundred years or so, the Nine Nether Sect will have one more Martial Saint powerhouse, and the three of them will have one more Martial Saint-level ally.

"Put everything away first; we still need to explore this ruin."

At this moment, the remnant soul of the Martial Saint was suppressed, the storm barrier was completely broken, and the ruins were fully revealed in front of the four.

This place is more like a black mountain rising from the seabed than an island. The mountain is seven or eight hundred feet high, with steep rocks. What is even more eye-catching is that, following the shape of the mountain, there is a dilapidated palace built against the mountain. Half of the palace is exposed on the mountainside, while the other half is hidden in the mountain. It is unknown how far it extends into the mountain.

Everyone looked at Xiao Wujiu, and Luo Hongshao asked, "Brother Xiao, since you know about the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, and the remnant soul of the Martial Saint is staying here, there must be some connection. Do you know the background of the remnant soul of the Martial Saint?"

"do not know"

Xiao Wujiu said, "I have consulted many ancient texts, but throughout history, there have been far too many martial saints who have entered this place in order to seek a glimmer of hope for survival, to seek the opportunity to prolong their lives, or to seek the inheritance of Yan Tianjun. Even after checking them one by one, there are still three martial artists who may match this martial saint's remnant soul."

Su Yan asked, "Which three?"

"The Soul Venerable Martial Saint, the Nether Fist Martial Saint, and the Black Moon Martial Saint all cultivate spiritual techniques and seem to have all received the inheritance of Yama. Their paths are similar, and they all have the experience of seclusion in the Sea of ​​Fiend Souls. However, it is too long ago, and it is impossible to distinguish whose remnant soul it is. However, this palace is very likely the place where a certain powerful person secluded himself back then."

The expressions of the crowd shifted slightly. The secluded cultivation place of a Martial Saint was no less than a true secret realm.

"Let's go take a look. Maybe the remaining Yama's Decree is here."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, poured cold water on Chu Jinglan, and said, "Even a Martial Saint perished here and became a remnant soul. This ruin may not be so simple. It's best to be careful."

Chu Jinglan narrowed his eyes and calmed down: "It's better to be careful, but we can't not investigate."
