The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 437 Everyone uses their own methods
"impossible!"

When Yan Heng saw Su Yan surpass him, he almost gritted his teeth to pieces.

He mustered his strength and strode forward, the movement feeling like a raging torrent crashing against his body, the immense force pressing him down so he couldn't lift his head.

Moreover, taking a few more steps forward, the terrifying corrosive power completely eroded the last bits of flesh and blood from his body, and the intense pain burned his soul.

From the beginning of my cultivation to now, more than a hundred years have passed. Even though I once suffered the pain of being pierced by ten thousand swords while practicing swordsmanship, it is nothing compared to what I am experiencing now.

In such agony, Yan Heng could only watch as Su Yan continued to move away.

Three hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters, four hundred meters...

Yan Heng forced himself to walk to the 400-meter mark. The churning Yellow Spring waters knocked him off balance, his white skeleton teetering on the brink of collapse, and his soul, like a flame about to be extinguished, began to flicker.

A loud bang was heard. At this moment, Xiao Wujiu and Guimu Duzhe, who had fallen behind, could no longer hold on at a distance of about 300 meters. They activated the Yellow Springs Token, and their bodies were enveloped in yellow light. Their completely corroded flesh and blood were rapidly growing back on their bones.

Their flesh and blood were regenerated, and both Xiao Wujiu and Guimu Duzhe were amplifying their auras, with their physical attributes also strengthening along with the regeneration of their flesh and blood.

The Yellow Springs cleanse the past, and this past refers to their past bodies and aptitude.

"Pity."

Su Yan sensed the movement behind him and naturally saw that Xiao Wujiu had been eliminated from the second round because he could not hold on any longer.

If we're talking about compatibility, Xiao Wujiu's lineage is actually very compatible with that of Yan Jun. The Nine Nether Sect originally came from Yan Jun's lineage, although it may only be a part of it.

However, his innate ghost body, coupled with his cultivation path, was more compatible than most of those present.

However, due to his weak foundation and lack of physical strength, he fell into the lower level of the Yellow Springs Gate, which tests the physical body and bones.

While they were pondering, Ye Qingmei from the Dayan Dao Sect was eliminated, following closely behind Xiao Wujiu and Du Zhe. She had only managed to cross the distance of 350 meters.

At this moment, Li Zhanhai was approaching Bai Nian's location. His body had turned into white bones, and his soul was swaying. The powerful talent brought by the Blood Ember Dragon bloodline ultimately allowed him to keep pace with Bai Nian.

However, although Bai Nian was not born with a martial body and his physical constitution was slightly inferior to that of Li Zhanhai, his spirit was far more resolute than that of ordinary people, and he actually persisted in continuing to move forward.

At 400 meters, the two reached a point where the Yellow Springs surged like a dragon, completely submerging their skeletal frames and causing their souls to tremble.

At a height of 403 meters, Yan Heng also reached his limit. In the end, the three of them crushed the Yellow Springs Token at the same time and were taken out of the Yellow Springs River.

At this moment, only three people remained in the Yellow Springs River: Su Yan, Shi Fengyi, and the Yellow Dragon Elder.

The old man Huanglong was truly strange. His entire skeleton was pitch black, and his soul was like a shadow. He didn't look like a martial artist at all; he was a monster.

He walked the slowest, but step by step, he reached the 450-meter mark, only 50 meters away from Shi Fengyi.

"Old Man Huanglong is strange."

Shi Fengyi could no longer walk. Five hundred meters was her limit. If she took another step forward, the pressure would increase dozens of times. Her growing flesh and blood would be completely eroded by the Yellow Spring Water as soon as it emerged, and the pain almost tore her soul apart.

If it weren't for the fact that her lineage possesses an innate martial physique—the Myriad Transformation Whale—which is a top-tier bloodline, she would probably have already fallen by now.

"monster!"

Thinking of this, Shi Fengyi couldn't help but glance at Su Yan beside her. At this moment, Su Yan was not in a hurry and had already surpassed her position step by step.

Even though they had already reached the 500-meter mark, Su Yan was not yet a skeleton. He was half flesh and half bone, and the rate at which his flesh was growing was actually counteracting the erosion of the Yellow Spring Water.

Su Yan is so domineering that he's not even human!

"Don't the martial arts masters who make the rankings ever bother to find out the backgrounds of the martial artists who made the list?"

Fifth on the Dragon Gate Ranking? Are you kidding me? Just because he has the lowest cultivation level?
At this moment, Shi Fengyi wasn't the only one who shared this thought. The old man Huanglong's face was extremely gloomy, and he was furious: "Shi Fengyi, Su Yan! I have prepared for hundreds of years, and even used forbidden techniques to refine my physique, but why am I still inferior to you monsters!"

The old man Huanglong had once entered the secret realm of hell, but he never had the chance to reach the Yellow Springs River.

But for hundreds of years, he has been constantly exploring and cultivating, all in order to obtain the inheritance within, at least to become the leader of the second level and undergo a complete transformation.

However, even with his best efforts, he could only go a little over 400 meters before he could no longer continue.

"Kill them both, and I'll be number one..."

At this moment, Su Yan had just reached the 510-meter mark, while Shi Fengyi had stopped at the 500-meter mark. The three of them were not far apart.

Old Man Huanglong knew his limits; it was impossible to go any further. The limit of his physical body, refined with secret techniques, was right here.

If he doesn't get first place, his inherent qualities and lifespan will never have another chance to change.

"Don't blame me."

This is no longer about profit; for Huang Long, it's about life and death.

The Yellow Dragon's Bones!

From the soul of the old man Huanglong, a ferocious dark yellow dragon emerged. Although it was called a yellow dragon, its head and horns were sharp and its mouth was full of sharp teeth. When it entered the Yellow Springs, it was not corroded. Instead, it rushed towards the two of them as if it were in its own water.

"careful!"

Xiao Wujiu called out a warning, and by then Shi Fengyi and Su Yan had also noticed something was wrong.

A skeletal yellow dragon, carrying with it the waters of the Yellow Springs, soared into the sky, opening its blood-red maw. Attacks, like the waters of the Yellow Springs, poured down from its mouth, instantly engulfing Su Yan and Shi Fengyi.

The attack came suddenly and surprisingly resonated with the Yellow Springs Water, creating a massive surge.

Although Shi Fengyi had a skeletal body, her soul remained, and her natal weapon emerged from within her soul—a pair of scissors as blue as the sea—the Azure Sea Cloud Whale Scissors.

The sharp blades of the Azure Cloud Whale Scissors clashed, instantly severing the attack of the Corpse-Bone Yellow Dragon. The tsunami split in two, and the Corpse-Bone Yellow Dragon's appearance was fully revealed.

It turned out that the special Taoist soldier was composed of countless black bones and a strange corrosive liquid.

"No matter how powerful you are in the underworld, you will die."

The trials of the underworld never cease, and the physical body is constantly eroded. Even true essence can only be activated to a very limited extent.

The old man Huanglong believed he had made thorough preparations. In the Yellow Springs, he was only worried about what backup plans Xiao Wujiu, a disciple of the Nine Nether Sect, might have, and never worried about how much Su Yan and the others knew about the Yellow Springs.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Corpse-Bone Yellow Dragon, like a thunderclap suddenly appearing in a dark sky.

Huanglong was taken aback. Upon recognizing the newcomer as Su Yan, he immediately activated the Corpse Dragon to prepare, summoning a large amount of Yellow Spring Water to block the attack.

Su Yan sneered: "If you can't compete in talent, and you want to play tricks, get lost."

He unleashed a powerful punch, with the Insect Lord God appearing behind him. His fist, as solid as a pillar supporting the sky, pierced through the Yellow Springs and struck the Corpse-Bone Yellow Dragon. The skeleton shattered instantly, and the entire Corpse-Bone Yellow Dragon fell into the water.

He pressed his advantage, and with a wave of his hand, the Blood Demon Hand appeared. He grabbed the Corpse Bone Yellow Dragon and pressed it into the Yellow Spring Water. The Blood Demon Hand unleashed its terrifying decomposing power, and in less than a few breaths, the Corpse Bone Yellow Dragon had been mostly decomposed.

Anxious, Huanglong attacked Su Yan directly.

Before they could even get close, the Azure Cloud Whale Scissors had already arrived, protecting Su Yan and launching a series of attacks at the Yellow Dragon Elder.

Old Man Huanglong clapped his hands at the blade's edge, creating a clanging sound, and sent the Azure Cloud Whale Scissors flying back into Shi Fengyi's hand. In an instant, Old Man Huanglong's sneak attack failed.

'If it weren't for the River of the Underworld, I would have taken you all down.'

The old man Huanglong's hatred had reached its peak. The Yellow Spring River had eroded the flesh and blood of the martial artists, leaving them only skeletons. Their methods were relatively limited. If it weren't for this reason, they would have already reduced the two opponents to ashes.

Blood Demon Hand!

Su Yan unleashed the Blood Demon Hand once more, this time targeting the Yellow Dragon Elder.

not good!

Old Man Huanglong realized that the target was coming for him. While guarding against the Azure Cloud Whale Scissors, he waved his palm and summoned a huge phantom to collide with him.

Little did he know the power of Su Yan's Blood Demon Hand. The moment he touched it, his condensed attack visibly began to disintegrate.

While it won't reach the point of utter destruction, it's not far off.

In just one breath, Su Yan's Blood Demon Hand pierced through the Yellow Dragon Elder's attack and landed heavily on him.

With a single blow, the skeletal body shattered, and even the soul began to waver.

Su Yan sneered and intensified his attack, taking advantage of the opportunity to grab the old man Huanglong's body with his Blood Demon Hand.

Old Man Huang desperately resisted the erosion from the Yellow Spring Water and the Blood Demon Hand, but Su Yan had already pressed him into the water with the Blood Demon Hand.

This blow was too much for the old man Huanglong to bear.

He wanted to crush the Yellow Springs Token in his hand to save his life.

Unexpectedly, a beam of red light shot out from between Su Yan's eyebrows; it was the Divine Eye Divine Power.

The divine light, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, struck the house between the eyebrows of the old man Huanglong, killing him instantly.

Su Yan acted swiftly and decisively, killing a martial artist at the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm in the blink of an eye.

Yan Heng, Bai Nian, Li Zhanhai, Ye Qingmei...

These prodigies were stunned. Even with the suppression of the Yellow Spring Water, this was something they couldn't do.

Because Huanglong Laoren wasn't the only one who fought against and was suppressed by the Yellow Spring Water; Su Yan was one of them.

With his true essence suppressing the attack, his physical body was resisting the assault. Even Su Yan's most frequently used methods, such as ferocious insects and Dao soldiers, were not used at this time.

With Shi Fengyi's slight assistance, Su Yan killed the Yellow Dragon Elder.

Moreover, the talent is only at the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Yan Heng, Bai Nian, and Li Zhanhai exchanged glances, all understanding the meaning in each other's eyes: Monster!

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

With the death of Elder Huanglong, Shi Fengyi retrieved her Azure Cloud Whale Scissors and nodded slightly to Su Yan in thanks.

"No need to be polite, Huanglong has come here to die."

Su Yan suppressed his aura and then glanced at Shi Fengyi: "If you can't hold on, you might as well give up like they did, so as not to damage your soul."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Shi Fengyi listened or not, and strode away towards the Yellow Springs River.

Shi Fengyi was lost in thought, but soon she came to her senses, crushed the Yellow Spring Token, and flew up from a distance of 500 meters. Streams of light flowed into her body, obviously to enhance her physical constitution.

On the River of the Dead, only Su Yan remains.

"We need to speed things up."

The ferocious insect cannot be destroyed!
Along the way, his body was constantly destroyed and reborn. Taking the indestructible body as a blueprint and combining it with the Ferocious Insect Technique, Su Yan finally deduced the Body Refinement Chapter of the Ferocious Insect Technique.

He activated his technique with all his might and then quickened his pace.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, six hundred meters into the Yellow Springs, his flesh had corroded more than halfway, leaving his bones as white as jade. Even after arriving here, Su Yan had not completely turned into bones.

After an hour, a thousand meters into the Yellow Springs, the physical body was reduced to mere wisps of bone. At this moment, the soul began to sway slightly, and the pain was unbearable for a Golden Body Realm martial artist.

Four hours later, after traveling two thousand meters to the Yellow Springs, Su Yan's body turned into white bones, and his soul trembled even more violently.

Eight hours later, after traveling three thousand meters to the Yellow Springs, Su Yan had completely turned into a skeleton. The excruciating pain was unbearable, and his soul swayed constantly, like a candle caught in a strong wind.

Su Yan reached a position of three thousand meters when rolling thunder resounded. At this moment, the Yellow Springs River actually flew up and completely broke free from the ground.

The river flowed backward, transforming into tornadoes, and actually flowed into Su Yan's body.

[The first one is Su Yan]

At this moment, within Su Yan's body, flesh and blood grew wildly like spring grass after rain, gradually growing from flesh and blood attached to bones back to its original form.

Su Yan used his divine sense to look inside his body and immediately discovered that his bones, which were originally as white as jade, had new golden lines that looked as if they had grown together.

His aura rose steadily, and even without deliberately trying to break through, Su Yan seemed to have an epiphany the moment the Yellow Spring Water entered his body.

All the moves and techniques he had used in the past flashed through Su Yan's mind.

"My fundamental qualities have improved."

The second trial has ended. At this moment, the light gathered on Su Yan's body is the strongest, and the entire Yellow Springs has turned into a stream of light, flowing into his body.

Next was Shi Fengyi. A large amount of light poured in, causing her flesh and blood to grow continuously, and her physical constitution to improve.

Yan Heng, Bai Nian, Ye Qingmei, Xiao Wujiu, and Guimu Du Zhe are all like this.

However, the lower the ranking, the shorter the time required for enhancement.

This continued for a full three days before everyone finally awoke from the guidance of the Yellow Springs Decree and landed on the ground.

At this moment, the situation on the field changed dramatically, and only five people remained.

Su Yan, Shi Fengyi, Yan Heng, Bai Nian, and Li Zhanhai.

Xiao Wujiu, Ye Qingmei, and Du Zhe were teleported away after their breakthrough.

"It seems that only those who have passed the 400-meter mark are qualified to enter the next test of the King of Hell."

Bai Nian observed the five people's situation. At this moment, Su Yan's aura was the most obvious. Although he had not broken through to the Golden Body Realm, his strength had already reached the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and a breakthrough was only a hair's breadth away.

However, this aura is no less than that of any Golden Body Realm expert.

"I wonder what the next level will be like?"
