The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 432 Hell Appears Out of the Sky
The Soul-Devouring Insect swallowed the Soul-Extreme Golden Pill, and its aura steadily increased as it absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy along with Su Yan on the banks of the Nine Nether Blood River.

As time went by, many more demons began to appear outside the Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Cover.

They failed to break through the concealment of the Hidden God Banner, nor did they discover anything different about this section of the Nine Nether Blood River.

However, as the Divine Fiend Locusts devoured the Nine Nether Blood River, they instinctively sensed the changes taking place in this area and began to slowly gather.

The evil locusts seemed to feel that devouring the blood was too slow, so they split into countless evil bees and blood bees in the water, which quickly spread out in the crimson river.

At this moment, these evil bees and blood bees were like small whirlpools, constantly swallowing the river water, their bodies swelling up like plump red fruits, and then quickly returning to the body of the evil locust.

In this way, the speed at which the Nine Nether Blood River was devoured increased significantly.

……

"It's been half a month already. There's probably a restriction on this place, or perhaps a treasure has been unearthed."

Outside the Nine Nether Blood River, demons gathered, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy could no longer be contained. The entire Sea of ​​Evil Souls and the Nine Nether Blood River were in a state of turmoil.

The anomaly here attracted the attention of many martial artists, including more than ten rogue cultivators at the Golden Body Realm and martial artists at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

With demons blocking the way and martial artists watching, a peculiar balance was formed for a time.

Zhao Kongwen kept glancing at the martial artist not far away. He had a single sword, white hair, a broad back and a wolf-like waist, a fierce face, and his fierce gaze met Zhao Kongwen's.

"I'm afraid so. You and I should be careful together. That guy, Ghost Tiger Qin Meng, is probably nearing the end of his life, yet he's come here to roam."

Zhao Kongwen whispered to the white-clad man beside him. The two were close friends and had come here to explore together because of the order from the King of Hell.

The two fought fiercely in the Sea of ​​Evil Souls, cooperating with each other and reaping many benefits.

Before he could finish speaking, the world changed color, a murderous aura surged into the sky, and the blood river of the Nine Netherworlds poured out like a red dragon, soaring into the heavens.

A barrier loomed in and out of sight, stirring a sense of unease in everyone present.

"quick!"

Wealth stirs the heart, and at this moment, the demons surged wildly, but they could not stop the crowd's enthusiasm for the rare treasures.

A jet-black tiger appeared behind Ghost Tiger Qin Meng, its body a hundred feet long, condensing into a blade, which it swung directly into the horde of demons.

Zhao Kongwen and Li Lianzhou worked together and charged straight towards the center of the anomaly.

The remaining independent cultivators and martial artists all sprang into action upon hearing the news.

However, what they didn't know was that at the center of the anomaly, Su Yan stood in mid-air, with a ferocious, terrifying, and extremely oppressive pitch-black worm hovering in front of him.

[The Divine Fiend Locust successfully devoured the molted creature and transformed into the Nine Fiend Devouring God Insect]

[Tier 5 Insect Lord: 456113/1000000]

A torrent of malevolent energy gathered around him; its power was like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone, enough to erode everything, even the gods.

Nine represents the ultimate, not nine kinds. The Nine Evil Devouring Insects represent the ultimate evil energy.

"With a sixth-tier sacred bloodline and the origin of malevolent energy, the Nine Fiend God-Eating Insects now possess the ability to be immortal and indestructible. Moreover, the Fiend Bees and Blood Bees have all undergone metamorphosis, becoming Fiend God Bees."

Su Yan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The Nine Fiend Devouring God Worm had not only completed its bloodline transformation, but its strength had also increased significantly, reaching the late stage of the fifth rank.

With such bloodline and such strength, even the Giant Flame God Scorpion is no match for it at this moment.

"Buzz"

The Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Cover was being bombarded, and as the attacks intensified, the Hidden God Banner could no longer conceal its contents, revealing its inner appearance.

"Damn it, someone beat us to it!!"

The Concealing God Banner was retrieved by Su Yan, and the martial artists outside could now clearly see the situation inside.

Su Yan stood in the very center, a faint smile on his face, looking every bit like someone who had obtained a treasure.

"Boy, hand over the treasure, and I might spare your life."

Ghost Tiger Qin Meng's Dharma form transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall giant, opening its blood-red maw and crashing towards the Demon-Imprisoning Nine Dragons Cover.

The impact caused the Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Cover to shake, but Su Yan's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand to retrieve it.

"You have three breaths. Anyone still here after three breaths will die."

Su Yan's words were like a bucket of cold lake water, waking up many Dharma Aspect Realm martial artists.

Their hearts sank. They had only thought the treasure was unclaimed, and that it was possible they were trying to take advantage of the situation.

Suddenly, a mysterious expert appeared. He didn't seem to be a Golden Body Realm martial artist, but his aura and the strange and ferocious insect beside him clearly indicated that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Several streaks of light immediately flew backward, actually leaving this place of trouble.

However, five of the Golden Body Realm warriors were able to see through Su Yan's strength at a glance.

Even if a fifth-tier beast king protects you, you're only at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Gui Hu Qin Meng, Zhao Kongwen and the others were not intimidated by Su Yan's aura at all. They threatened in a cold voice: "Boy, I don't care which family you belong to. Even if you are from the Dayan Dao Sect, you must give me the natural treasures born here today. I don't have much time left to live, and I'm not afraid of these things."

As he spoke, he grabbed out with his large hand, which looked like a tiger's claw that could blot out the sky.

"Kill them"

Su Yan simply gave the order, and the Nine Fiend God-Eating Insects immediately unleashed endless malevolent energy, transforming into Fiend God Bees that swept away.

The murderous aura filled the entire space, turning it crimson. The tiger's claws dimmed instantly upon contact with the aura, completely losing their control.

Qin Meng was shocked. The Nine Fiend Devouring God Insects had already appeared behind him, and their fiendish energy bound him like tentacles.

Ghost Tiger Qin Meng was directly corrupted by the evil energy. His true essence was as if it had fallen into an ice cave. Not only was it completely unusable, but it also quickly lost its vitality like a withered flower.

"Late-stage Beastmaster... How is that possible!"

His voice was choked in his throat, and he was completely devoured by the Nine Fiends Devouring God Worms.

The remaining Golden Body Realm warriors were terrified at the sight and immediately tried to flee.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. We were unaware that this place had already been occupied by you..."

Before he could finish pleading for mercy, countless ferocious bees had already surrounded him.

The golden-bodied warrior was indeed powerful; with a wave of his hand, he killed many of the evil bees.

However, with the support of the Nine Fiend God-Eating Insects' fiendish energy, these endless Fiend God Bees, even if they die, will reassemble themselves the next moment due to the fiendish energy.

Not only is it unkillable, but it also contains a strong malevolent aura in its attack.

In just three breaths, the murderous aura entered their bodies, and the murderous bees relentlessly devoured them, killing all the Golden Body Realm warriors and demons at the estuary.

Su Yan revealed a satisfied look. The Nine Fiend Devouring God Insect was so powerful that it would naturally amplify his strength even more.

"Now we can make a huge scene."

Su Yan looked into the Sea of ​​Fiends, a smile on his face. He waved his hand to summon the Nine Fiends Devouring God Insects, but scattered the Fiend Bees like eyes and ears.

When Su Yan decided to go all out, the entire Fiend Soul Sea was like a giant crocodile from the abyss suddenly entering, turning the entire area upside down.

The Sea of ​​Fiends used both mist and demonic creatures to kill countless martial artists.

However, for Su Yan, the Fiend Bees as his eyes and ears, the Insect Seeds possessing him, the Endless Heart Flame and the Divine Eye Divine Power granting him powerful perception, put Su Yan in an invincible position.

Because the Sea of ​​Fiends could not hinder his exploration. With the Fiend Bees scattered everywhere, Su Yan was always able to discover suddenly appearing islands, powerful monsters, and martial artists with treasures in the shortest amount of time.

Murder and robbery are unlikely, as there are many disciples from various sects involved in this incident.

Even though killing them would be easy, dealing with the external conflicts would be difficult.

But once everything is looted, no one can say anything about it.

As for those who provoked him or had personal grudges against him, Su Yan was ruthless and sent them to their deaths without a trace.

As a result, the Insect Lord's fearsome reputation spread throughout the Sea of ​​Evil Souls.

"Damn Insect Lord, I guarded that fourth-tier Ghostly Earth Sunflower for seven days..."

"Alright, at least you're still alive."

Several fleeing martial artists formed a group and scattered on a deserted island to rest and avoid any possible monsters.

"That's right? I heard that the patriarch of the Gale Wind Sect wanted to rely on his Golden Body Realm cultivation to overpower Su Yan and seize the Dao Weapon that concealed his identity. To be honest, he wasn't afraid of the Demon Suppression Guards' pursuit. But it turned out that he ran headlong into them and was directly crushed to death by the Insect Lord."

"The Gale Wind Sect is completely wiped out. One Golden Body and three Dharma Aspects—the sect has only a few experts left."

"Night Wolf Valley ambushed them with forces from three sects, and they still perished."

The martial artists who escaped the calamity were filled with sorrow, while some martial artists they had never met were eager to try their luck.

"As expected of that person's disciple, he is indeed an extraordinary figure, but he has offended too many people."

Ye Qingmei of the Dayan Dao Sect, dressed in a Daoist robe, raised her phoenix eyebrows slightly, having also heard about Su Yan among the warriors of the Shahun Sea.

As they were all listed on the Dragon Gate List, they were naturally very curious about those on the list.

Deep within the Sea of ​​Evil Souls, Yan Heng wielded his sword and traversed the waves, slaying all the fifth-tier beast kings before him with a single strike.

He toyed with the Yama King's Decree at his waist, his eyes narrowing: "What a fine title, Yama King. I wonder what kind of scene exists in Hell."

Li Zhanhai drove a chariot across the Sea of ​​Evil Souls, followed by eighteen black riders as tall as iron pagodas, along with their flying horse mounts, as they annihilated a large island ruin.

At this moment, Li Zhanhai did not feel much joy, but instead was full of fighting spirit: "When I was in the royal city, I was still at the border. Now it's time to have a go."

Li Zhanhai was not a prince, but the son of a royal elder. Being able to make it onto the Dragon Gate Ranking meant he was a prominent figure within the royal family.

In truth, Su Yan was a subject, and the royal family was the ruler; naturally, he would not submit to Su Yan.

……

"Having robbed so many people, we've finally enough to train properly."

On the nameless island, Su Yan controlled the alchemy furnace, casting incantations into it one after another, until the last medicinal ingredient was added.

The alchemy furnace spun rapidly, and as the flames of the Giant Spirit Flame God Scorpion subsided, nine pills resembling black pearls flew out.

Soul-Forging Golden Elixir!

This is one of the old pill formulas left by the Black Moon Martial Saint. It is a fifth-grade pill, specifically for cultivating the soul.

Many of the rare and precious materials needed are medicinal herbs from thousands of years ago, and have changed slightly over time. Fortunately, he was in the Sea of ​​Evil Souls. At this time, Su Yan had all the skills to refine pills, but his cultivation level was not high enough to refine more powerful fifth-grade and sixth-grade golden pills. Otherwise, he would already be considered a sixth-grade alchemist.

Su Yan 'picked up' many medicinal herbs in the Sea of ​​Evil Souls and finally refined fifteen Soul-Forging Golden Pills.

The purpose of refining the Golden Elixir is to facilitate the breakthrough of the Soul-Devouring Insect bloodline.

As the two Soul-Extreme Golden Pills were gradually digested by the Soul-Devouring Insect over the course of a month, its soul power increased significantly, and its combat strength naturally increased as well.

However, the foundation was too short and eventually came to an end. Fortunately, Su Yan provided support and continued the foundation with the Soul-Forging Golden Pill.

【Soul-Eating Insect: 181/200 Adult Stage】

The fact that he has grown to this level in such a short time shows how ruthless Su Yan has been in looting during this period.

It is no exaggeration to say that the air was thick with fear and everyone was on edge.

"It's a pity that so many old silver coins are hidden away, otherwise it would be more lively."

It's unclear how many Yama King's Decrees have appeared. Given the chaos in this Sea of ​​Evil Souls, there are probably no fewer than thirty, or even more, as rumored.

Those who had not received the order from Yama had already retreated to the side.

It's not that they don't want the Yama's Decree, but rather that the carnage inside has already exceeded the tolerance of some small sects.

If the patriarch were to perish, the entire sect would be doomed, so they had no choice but to be more cautious.

Those who received the Yama King's Decree have probably all gone into hiding.

On the one hand, they were worried about being taken away by someone else; on the other hand, they were waiting for the right opportunity.

Su Yan just threw a Soul-Forging Golden Pill to a Soul-Devouring Insect.

Just as the Soul-Eating Insect swallowed it, the surrounding mist suddenly began to shrink.

Su Yan was startled, and in the blink of an eye, he had already retreated three or four meters.

It seemed as if someone was pulling the fog from behind, causing it to shrink back until it finally gathered in mid-air.

Rumble

Strange black lightning surged within the clouds, and at that moment, a huge rift opened in space, like a scar in the night sky.

The rift was several thousand meters long, stretching across the entire Demon Abyss Secret Realm, and a powerful aura swept in, enveloping the entire Demon Abyss Secret Realm.

The Demon Abyss Realm trembled for him, and the spiritual energy seemed to have a life of its own, beginning to resonate with the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the sky.

The crack became increasingly stable, and what one could see at this moment was endless yellow sand and the deepest part of the underworld. Deep within the crack, there was a dark and majestic palace.

Everyone was overjoyed, and even Su Yan couldn't help but look up, revealing a look of emotion: "Hell, is this the special little secret realm that Yan Tianjun created himself?"

A powerful force surged forth; even though Yan Tianjun had been dead for so long, the power he left behind was still enough to crush everyone in the Demon Abyss Secret Realm.

"Walk!"

The hidden martial artist leaped into the air and headed straight for the rift in the sky.

Those who possess the token all desire to inherit it, but the tribulators guarding the necessary path are not easy to deal with.

The fog completely dissipated, and the ambush could be seen from afar, creating utter chaos.

Seeing this chaos, Su Yan took a step forward, with wind and thunder forming wings behind him, and headed straight for the hell that stretched across the entire sky.

"It's the Insect Lord!"

Too many people recognized Su Yan. Those who were about to make a move couldn't help but shudder, secretly relieved that they hadn't provoked Su Yan.

Beyond hell, there is a barrier, invisible yet even someone as powerful as Su Yan, or some veteran Golden Body Realm cultivators, cannot directly break through it.

Su Yan took out the Yama King's Decree, and the entire barrier rippled like water, shimmering with golden light.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared, and Su Yan stepped into it, instantly entering a desert. His true essence was now suppressed by nearly 50%.

"Yama, the King of Hell... endless yellow sand, roads paved with withered bones... truly a magnificent sight."
