The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 434 Powerful Guardian Ghosts

Deep in the Desert of Bones, white bones are interspersed among the yellow sand, creating a white sea of ​​skeletons.

Deep within this sea of ​​bones, a ten-zhang-tall, bull-headed, human-bodied monster wielding a white bone hook scythe, its entire skeleton radiating eerie black flames, is constantly gathering the power emanating from its surroundings.

"My lord, these are the guardians. Anyone who steps into the Sea of ​​Bones will be attacked by them."

Zhou Tianyu and Pei Mu once tried to challenge the guardian ghost messengers, but were forced back by the endless skeletal ghost soldiers.

Although it was just a cautious test, both of them knew that they were no match for this guardian ghost.

It was for this reason that I decided to look for help.

"Step back."

Su Yan opened his divine eyes, and under their perception, the entire Sea of ​​Bones and the core guardian ghost messenger were enveloped in a dense and powerful force.

Nine Nether Power
Su Yan's Soul-Devouring Worms had already absorbed a considerable amount of Netherworld power, so seeing this power now was something they were extremely familiar with.

"Buzz"

He waved his hand and summoned a swarm of demonic bees, numbering in the tens of thousands, whose flapping wings sounded like metal blades clashing together.

The Divine Fiend Bees coalesced into a dark red cloud, their forms shifting like a tornado, and headed directly towards the Sea of ​​Bones.

Just as they crossed the boundary of the skeletons, all the bones cracked and popped as they rose one after another from the desert, their skeletons attaching to their bodies to form the remains of wild beasts and warriors shrouded in black mist.

kill!

A chilling and icy killing intent surged towards the Divine Fiend Bee.

The torrent of white bones and the crimson tornado of the demon bees collided.

The evil bees, eroded by malevolent energy, flapped their wings like blades covered in malevolent aura, leaving deep wounds on the skeletal soldiers with each slash.

The skeletal soldiers are fearless and undaunted. Although their attacks are effective, they do not frighten them. Only the Yin energy that accompanies the attacks will continuously erode the skeletal soldiers, eventually causing their limbs to disintegrate.

In the first wave of impact, the evil energy carried by the more than 10,000 divine bees was clearly superior. After a brief clash, the first wave of skeletal ghost soldiers was almost completely wiped out. However, more skeletal ghost soldiers then awoke, and the guardian ghost messengers also showed signs of regaining their momentum.

"Such a powerful aura, no wonder they dare not make a move."

The powerful aura emanating from the guardian ghost messenger alone already surpassed that of Zhou Tianyu and Pei Mu.

The two knew the rules of the Desert of Bones and coveted the treasures represented by the guardians.

The patterns on the skeleton flowed, vaguely resembling martial arts techniques. This was Yan Tianjun's secret realm, his inherited secret realm. If a powerful technique appeared here, could it be a partial inheritance?
"My lord, those guardian ghosts are powerful, I'm afraid..."

Su Yan clearly sensed the power of the guardian ghosts, yet he showed no intention of stopping, which made Zhou Tianyu start to panic.

If Su Yan dies, the evil energy restriction that Su Yan planted in his body will erupt, and he probably won't survive either.

However, even with just the two of them and that powerful wild beast, it would probably be difficult to truly defeat this guardian ghost.

"Stay away"

Su Yan immediately released the Nine Fiends Devouring God Insects.

As soon as the Nine Fiends Devouring God appeared, it immediately unleashed an endless, dark red aura that surged like a tidal wave towards the entire Sea of ​​Bones.

Countless skeletons awoke, transforming into an army to resist the overwhelming malevolent energy.

The guardian ghost opened its terrifying eyes, its soul flame flickering incessantly, inspiring fear in all who beheld it.

As the swarm of malevolent bees swept over, the Ox-Headed Demon Guard stood up, gripped his scythe, and unleashed a chilling blade of light, instantly slicing through the malevolent energy and the swarm of bees.

"You are very good!"

The bull-headed ghost messenger actually possessed its own consciousness, and when its gaze fell upon Su Yan, it conveyed a sense of approval.

However, this condescending attitude displeased Su Yan.

Sensing Su Yan's thoughts, the Nine Fiends Devouring God Insects immediately gathered their fiendish energy again and attacked the Bull-Headed Ghost Messenger like a meteor.

The malevolent energy was all-pervasive, like shackles sealing the sky. The bull-headed demon guards kept wielding their scythes to fight against it, and in an instant, the aftershocks swept across the land, obliterating white bones and yellow sand.

Both the Ox-Headed Ghost Messenger and the Nine Fiends Devouring God Worm are top-tier beings in the fifth tier, each strike capable of shattering mountains and rivers.

Zhou Tianyu's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected that the Nine Fiends Devouring God Worm would be able to contend with the Bull-Headed Ghost Messenger.

Not only the Ox-Headed Ghost Messenger, but also the skeletal Yin Soldiers under his command were entangled by the evil energy and the divine evil bees. For a time, it was actually the guardian who was suppressed.

Su Yan had no interest in getting entangled with the Ox-Headed Ghost Messenger at this moment.

With a wave of his hand, the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower shot into the sky, transforming into a massive tower. Rays of red light fell down, covering the entire Sea of ​​Bones.

The sealing power continued to emanate, and the majesty of the Dao soldiers spread far and wide, instantly overwhelming many skeletal Yin soldiers.

Even the Ox-Headed Demon Messenger was affected by the sealing power, and his aura was suppressed by 30%.

The Nine Fiends Devouring God Insects immediately seized the opportunity, biting off the arm of the Ox-Headed Demon Messenger that was gripping the hook and sickle. The rolling evil energy transformed into nine dark red serpents, which directly buried the Ox-Headed Demon Messenger's body.

Su Yan released the Soul-Devouring Insects, which rushed into the Sea of ​​Bones and, like ghosts, constantly devoured the Netherworld Power within the crumbling skeleton soldiers.

The skeletal soldiers, who were already at a disadvantage, were quickly defeated by the Soul-Eating Insects, and the situation on the battlefield became one-sided.

Zhou Tianyu was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that the battle would become so easy.

After a full half-hour battle, the final battle came to an end when the Netherworld Power on the last wisp of the skeletal Yin Soldier was devoured by the Soul-Devouring Worms.

The chains of ferocious insects in the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower completely sealed off the body of the Bull-Headed Demon Messenger, and the evil energy controlled by the Nine Fiends Devouring God Insects permeated its entire skeleton.

At this moment, the Ox-Headed Demon Messenger had no power to resist and allowed the Soul-Eating Insect to come to him and forcibly extract the Netherworld Power from his body right before his eyes.

【Soul-Eating Insects: 200/400 (Mature Stage)】

The Soul-Eating Insects' strength has increased dramatically, and their growth value has reached a new level.

It's a pity that the Yin soldiers in the Sea of ​​Bones weren't as strong as the previous skeleton monsters; otherwise, the Nine Nether Power obtained would have been even greater.
After the Minotaur was killed, the entire Sea of ​​Bones emitted a soft white light, eventually transforming into a scroll and a token, which flew towards Su Yan.

"The Bull Demon Hell Sutra"

Su Yan frowned slightly. The cultivation technique in his hand was clearly a high-grade sixth-rank technique, extremely advanced. It was probably the same one that the bull-headed ghost messenger had been practicing.

However, the cultivation technique seemed somewhat useless to him. Although it could increase his foundation, it was difficult to quickly enhance his strength.

Compared to cultivation techniques, the token seems to be the key to passing the next level, called the Yellow Springs Token.

"Su Yan, you brat, we've finally caught you."

A cold voice suddenly rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, Su Yan suddenly revealed a cold smile. "Jin Hui, are all the people from your Mountain Nether Sect still alive?"

The newcomers were Jin Hui from the Mountain Darkness Sect and Elder Yan, an elder of the sect. In addition to the two of them, there were three other people in the group.

They are Pei Mu, who had previously escaped, Lu Qihua of the Jin Guang Sect, and Jin Cheng, an elder of the sect.

The five people seemed to have been waiting for some time, and as soon as they appeared, they completely blocked Su Yan's path.

Upon hearing Su Yan's sarcasm, Jin Hui and Elder Yan were immediately enraged. A surge of anger welled up in their hearts. If Su Yan hadn't forced them back, how could the Mountain Nether Sect have suffered such heavy losses, leaving only the two of them to seize the tokens and enter the Hell Secret Realm?

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you share your gains with us?"

Lu Qihua stepped forward with a smile, seemingly wanting to play peacemaker, but his eyes never left the cultivation manual and token in Su Yan's hand.

At this moment, Lu Qihua and Jin Hui had either obtained other opportunities in the Corpse Desert or were trying to gain more advantages in the Hell Secret Realm. Both of them had already broken through and become Golden Body Realm warriors.

The martial artists on the Dragon Gate Ranking all possess the potential to become Golden Body Realm martial artists. However, when they break through and to what extent they accumulate their strength will determine the path they take in the future.

Therefore, it will not be easy to break through.

Of course, Su Yan is an exception. Although his strength is only at the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, far from the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, his strength is terrifying.

What Jin Guangzong fears now is actually Su Yan's skill and the ferocious insect hidden in the murderous aura beside him.

The ferocious insect must be at least level five, and it was able to assist Su Yan in defeating the guardian. Even if there were factors related to elemental counteraction, it was enough to demonstrate the insect's power.

Jin Guangzong has no enmity with Su Yan. Although he wants to seize the treasure, it's not to the point of a life-or-death struggle. If they could talk it out, that would be the best outcome.

"Su Yan is doomed today. If you hand over the treasures you obtained from the Martial Saint's ruins that day, perhaps we can grant you a complete corpse."

Jin Hui is so vicious; he suddenly revealed the matter of the Martial Saint's ruins.

Pei Mu, Lu Qihua, and Jin Cheng's expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously revealed greedy eyes.

Jin Hui and Elder Yan's eyes were filled with cunning and malice; this was precisely their purpose.

Jin Guangzong didn't want to get involved, but they knew that without Jin Guangzong's help, they probably wouldn't be able to keep Su Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, you really know how to keep things to yourself. You didn't even mention something so important."

Jin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but Elder Yan said calmly, "This boy is formidable. He fought a Golden Body cultivator alone without being defeated and can even suppress Golden Body warriors. Fellow Daoist Jin, you should not let your guard down. Fortunately, he has no helpers here, so he won't be able to leave today."

The implication is that they want to join forces.

Jin Cheng nodded slightly, about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by Su Yan's voice.

Do you know why I didn't wipe out your Mountain Darkness Sect outside?

Everyone was taken aback. Su Yan didn't wait for their reply and said, "Because too many people know your whereabouts, killing them all would be difficult to resolve. But now, you've delivered yourselves right to our doorstep."

"Su Yan, do you think you can scare us? Your cultivation is only at the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm. Even if you are more talented than me, I have now acquired the Golden Body and have helpers. Do you think you can win?"

Jin Hui was already thinking about how to torture and kill Su Yan.

Even among martial artists on the Dragon Gate Ranking, those who break through will possess even greater combat power after their breakthrough, due to their profound foundation.

This is also the source of Jin Hui's confidence.

"I said you will all die today."

Su Yan spoke indifferently, and directly unleashed the Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Cover, which instantly enveloped the entire area.

Jin Cheng's expression changed slightly. Elder Yan and Jin Hui, who were more experienced, immediately ordered, "Kill him, and the Dao soldiers will release themselves."

The five of them attacked together. Elder Yan and Elder Jin moved in unison toward the Nine Fiends Devouring God Worm, trying to hold back Su Yan's strongest combat force.

Then Lu Qihua, Jin Hui, and Pei Mu will surround and kill Su Yan, making it a quick and decisive battle.

Just as the three of them rushed in front of Su Yan, a huge volcano suddenly appeared in front of them.

The giant fire scorpion suddenly appeared, its tail sweeping across and sending them flying.

The Void Shadow Spider and the Blood Prison Demon Centipede suddenly appeared, their powerful beast king aura enveloping them.

In an instant, Jin Hui and the others turned pale.

"Fellow Daoist, we have offended the Mountain Darkness Sect..."

Su Yan merely sneered, giving them no chance to beg for mercy.

"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots."

Led by the Nine Fiend God-Eating Insects, the Giant Spirit Flame God Scorpion and other beast kings launched an attack, instantly creating countless energy waves.

Elder Yan and Jin Cheng fought desperately, but the next moment the Nine Fiends Devouring God Insects used their fiendish energy to penetrate their bodies, directly breaking their golden bodies and killing them.

After breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, Jin Hui and Lu Qihua's combat strength was not to be underestimated. For a time, they were even able to exchange blows with the Void Shadow Spider and the Blood Prison Heavenly Demon Centipede.

But soon, the two could not hold on any longer. They were cut into several pieces by the shadow threads and then turned into a shower of blood by the Blood Prison Demon Centipede.

Pei Mu was the most unlucky. He had fled in a sorry state, but was then taken hostage by several people from the Mountain Darkness Sect. Now, facing the Thunderwing Holy Spirit Insect alone, he was struck by lightning and turned into a charred corpse in just a few exchanges, beyond dead.

Several people were defeated and killed one after another, even worse than the guardians, after all, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.

Zhou Tianyu was dumbfounded; he had no idea that Su Yan would be such a fierce person.

puff
Before he could recover, the Soul-Devouring Worm suddenly pierced through his body. He was already sealed away, unable to unleash his full power, and his soul was directly devoured by the Soul-Devouring Worm.

Su Yan showed no mercy to Zhou Tianyu, since he wasn't the one who made the move.

Zhou Tianyu not only tried to shift the blame to other parties back then, but he is also an insider who is now trying to silence them. Logically and emotionally, he has no chance of surviving.

"There's definitely more than one guardian. If we harvest another one, the Soul-Devouring Worm should be close to completing its transformation. And this Bull Demon Hell Scripture is worth studying; perhaps..."

Just as Su Yan was about to comprehend the Bull Demon Hell Scripture, the Gold-Devouring Emperor Worm emitted a mental fluctuation.

"Is there a problem with the material?"

He immediately realized what was happening and poured his abundant true essence into it. In just a few breaths, the abundant true essence that Su Yan had poured in was already comparable to that of a martial artist in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

However, the scroll absorbed everything like the ocean, yet showed no reaction whatsoever.

Until the Gold-Eating Emperor Beetle drew upon a wisp of its essence and infused it, the scroll shone with golden light, transformed into a fragment of a painting, and fell into Su Yan's hands.
