The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 454 Fighting
Although Liu Menglan and Yu Feihe are both pillars of their sects, they are now facing the Extreme Cold Hell Worm, which is empowered by the Extreme Cold Hell.

The terrifying chill had condensed into a tornado, which was now hurtling directly toward them.

The two immediately enveloped their bodies in golden forms, transforming into ice ferrets in an attempt to withstand the icy tornado.

But the next moment, a thick layer of ice appeared on the body of the Ice Fern, and its true essence was frozen in ice.

"how come?"

The two were shocked and began to feel panicked. They hurriedly brandished their swords, their sword energy crisscrossing, trying to cleave the Extreme Cold Hell Worm in two.

Extreme Cold Hell
The Extreme Cold Hell Worm expanded its entire extreme cold domain, relying on the Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Hell Tower to suddenly increase the intensity of the extreme cold several times over.

This time, even sword energy, an attack that has no physical form, was frozen in mid-air, like a curtain hanging in the sky.

Liu Menglan and Yu Feihe were doomed this time. Under the extreme cold of hell, even their souls felt a chill and emptiness that went straight to the depths of their souls.

In less than three breaths, their golden bodies shattered, turning into tiny fragments like ice mirrors that fell to the ground.

Once their golden bodies shattered, the two of them had already suffered the same damage. Red cracks covered their entire bodies, the color of blood. Frost covered their bodies, their eyes dimmed, and even their souls were completely frozen and suppressed.

"You...you are Su Yan!"

At this moment, Ye Juntao, who was being bombarded by Su Yan, was filled with shock. He stared at Su Yan with wide eyes, while the Snowdrift Spirit Sword beside him continuously blocked the attacks from Su Yan.

The Cold Yuan Pearl resisted the cold wave attacks from the extreme cold hell, but it all seemed so rushed and powerless, so insignificant.

"Did you recognize it?"

Su Yan's hoarse voice sounded so cold and ruthless: "Your deal back then wasn't honest, was it? The Cold Yuan Pearl, right?"

Su Yan unleashed his Great Devouring True Demon Palm once more, and with a muffled bang, Ye Juntao was slammed to the ground again. His bones seemed to shatter, and he kept spitting out blood, as if he would die from vomiting blood at any moment.

At this moment, Ye Juntao hated Liu Yinxi to the core. She clearly had such a great opportunity to become a Martial Saint, but she refused to give it to the sect and instead handed it over to Su Yan.

If this hadn't happened, how could a jinx like Su Yan have appeared in this secret realm?

However, no matter how much Ye Juntao hated Liu Yinxi, who had already been dealt with by them, she could not change her fate now.

"Champion, spare my life! I swear on my inner demon energy that I will help you fight against the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians are powerful. The man in black and Ashimu are both inheritors, and the Ice Burial Tribe is also eyeing us covetously. It is inevitable that you, Champion, will be unable to fight them all alone."

While fending off Su Yan's attacks, Ye Juntao also tried to demonstrate his worth in order to gain a chance to survive.

This old woman was indeed a shrewd old fox; she immediately saw Su Yan's weakness and wanted to use it as a breakthrough point to get Su Yan to spare her life.

However, she didn't know that Su Yan was never afraid of this.

Seeing Su Yan pause slightly, Ye Juntao felt a surge of joy. He had finally stopped. He would stall him for a while until they entered the core of the Insect Sacrifice Hall...

Su Yan raised his hand and pointed with his fingertip: Ten Hells Annihilation
As Yan Tianjun unleashed his ultimate technique, the power of the Ten Directions Hell converged like a spinning wheel, striking Ye Juntao and instantly piercing through him.

Even top-tier Golden Body Realm experts would feel utterly powerless under such an attack.

With his golden body shattered and his eyes glazed over, Ye Juntao's aged body crashed to the ground and fell silent instantly.

The Cold Yuan Pearl went out of control, unleashing a torrent of cold energy.

Su Yan frowned, grabbed the bag with his large hand, and took out the Frost Bee Bag at the same time.

The next moment, the two treasures resonated intensely. Without Su Yan's control, as long as they were brought slightly closer, the two Dao weapons quickly merged together.

The originally simple Frost Bee Bag was now inlaid with a Frost Essence Pearl that resembled a gemstone, expanding the internal space tenfold. A continuous flow of Frost Essence circulated within the Frost Bee Bag, making the Ice Melting Worms even more active.

"A fifth-grade top-quality Dao weapon... Liu Yinxi did hold back back then, but now the grass on her grave must be over ten feet tall."

Su Yan only needed to think for a moment to understand what Liu Yinxi's situation was back then.

Despite having a Golden Body Realm expert within the sect, they actually offered such a Martial Saint opportunity for trade.

Either the secret realm of the Insect Sacrifice Martial Saint is so dangerous that even those at the Golden Body Realm cannot venture there, or she is worried that this opportunity will not yield anything good within the sect, or may even bring her trouble.

It now appears that Liu Yinxi was persecuted by members of her sect.

"This can be considered revenge for you."

Su Yan put away the Frost Bee Bag. After continuous refinement, the connection between the Frost Bee Bag and the Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower has become extremely close. The enhancement of the Frost Bee Bag is essentially the enhancement of the first level of the Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower, the Extreme Cold Hell.

At this moment, Su Yan also became interested in the remaining two Frost Bee Bags. If they were all gathered together, the Frost Bee Bags would be at least sixth-grade high-quality Saint-grade Dao Weapons. If they were all integrated into the first level of the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower, it would be very likely to push the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower to at least sixth-grade high-quality or even top-quality.

"Let's take it one step at a time; we don't even know how many ferocious insects are left inside the ancient pot."

Su Yan's gaze fell on the five ancient jars in front of him. They used the method of refining gu to refine insects. Now, many years have passed since the death of the Insect Sacrifice Martial Saint.

The Gu worms refined in this way probably won't live that long, as evidenced by the fact that Liu Menglan and Yu Feihe opened them just now and revealed two empty ancient cups.

Su Yan first opened the ancient jar that Ye Juntao hadn't opened before. As soon as he opened a tiny crack, an ice-blue alien insect rushed out.

A flash of white light appeared, and a shallow spatial rift appeared in front of Su Yan.

A spatial barrier a foot in front of him blocked the spatial slash.

Su Yan looked closely and saw a mantis the size of a fist, its body seemingly made of black ice. It was growing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already over ten feet tall.

After its size increased, the Ice-Sea Rift Mantis immediately exuded a frenzied aura.

It was placed in the ancient pot by the Insect Sacrifice Martial Saint for refinement. It was originally a strange species that survived by fighting among alien insects. It had been trapped for at least several thousand or even ten thousand years without dying, so one can imagine its ferocity and its current madness.

Now that he has suddenly escaped his predicament and discovered living creatures, he naturally descends into madness.

Su Yan's eyes lit up; he had finally seen the insect beast.

As the Ice-Sea Rift Mantis charged forward, Su Yan acted first. With a clanging sound, the ferocious insect chains extending from the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower directly entangled and bound it. Then, the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower suppressed it, controlling it at the bottom of the tower.

[A fourth-tier, top-grade ferocious insect, the Ice-Sea Sky-Splitting Mantis, has been discovered that can be refined. Refine it?]

Sure enough, its vibrant life force and remarkable bloodline indicated that it was a true alien insect.

“There are other ancient cups.” Su Yan opened the remaining four ancient cups one by one, but his luck was not as good as this time. After opening two ancient cups, he only saw the remains of alien insects inside.

Even if they survived the infighting among the alien insects, they could not withstand the erosion of time.

He opened the last two ancient jars, and two strange insects flew out one after another. As soon as they appeared, they used their talents to flee into the distance, clearly sensing the powerful threat posed by Su Yan.

However, given their current state, how could they possibly escape Su Yan's control? In an instant, they were suppressed beneath the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower.

[A fourth-tier, top-grade ferocious insect, the Ice-Sea Sky-Splitting Mantis, has been discovered that can be refined. Refine it?]

[A fourth-tier, top-grade ferocious insect, the Frost Soul Butterfly, has been discovered that can be refined. Refine it?]

[A Black Ice Three-Headed Centipede, a top-grade fourth-tier ferocious insect, has been discovered. Refine it?]

"Refining"

These three ferocious insects, whose strength had reached the top tier of the fourth level, were just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the fifth-tier beast king, which showed that their bloodline had already reached the low tier of the fifth level.

Without hesitation, Su Yan activated the power of the Ferocious Insect Cauldron and began refining the ferocious insects.

In just a few minutes, under the suppression of the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower, the three ferocious insects had no chance to resist and were quickly refined by the power of the insects.

Three powerful streams of insect energy surged into Su Yan's body, and at the same time, the insect master's experience level was also changing.

[Tier 5 Insect Lord: 891103/1000000]

The experience points were 890,000, and the refinement of a ferocious insect gave about 20,000 to 30,000 experience points.

There are only 110,000 experience points left to break through to the sixth-tier Insect Lord.

For Su Yan, becoming a sixth-tier Insect Lord might be something he looked forward to even more than breaking through to Martial Saint.

Su Yan channeled the extreme cold of hell into the bodies of the Ice-Sea Rift Mantis, the Frost Soul Butterfly, and the Black Ice Three-Headed Centipede. The three devoured the cold energy with thirst, and their internal energy gradually increased, showing a faint trend of breakthrough.

Emerging from the Gu chamber, Su Yan headed straight for the passageway. This time, there were no forks in the path, and he walked directly to the end.

The deep passageway seemed to lead directly to the deepest part of the Insect Sacrifice Secret Realm through the Insect Sacrifice Hall, and the terrifying chill was enough to freeze even a Golden Body Realm expert inside the passageway.

"This is probably the power that has already dissipated from the source of extreme cold."

Su Yan's gaze was solemn. The Extreme Cold Origin was the power cultivated by the Insect Sacrifice Martial Saint. It was precisely because it had reached this level that only the best of the Golden Body Realm or those who also cultivated the Extreme Cold Origin could withstand the cold here.

The passageway is the final selection...

Su Yan made his judgment, still wearing the mask, but he was even more vigilant.

After venturing deep into the secret realm, thousands of feet below the surface, the passage finally came to an end.

A deep blue light filled the exit of the passageway. Su Yan took a step out, and a surge of coldness immediately enveloped him.

Before us was a huge ice cave, hundreds of feet high and tens of thousands of meters long and wide, with ice ridges rising from the ground like stalagmites, forming the peaks within the ice cave.

The entire ice cave was composed of this dark blue, frigid air, all of which originated from the source of the frigid air.

The icicles varied in height, some only a few feet tall, others several feet tall, and in different sizes, some like spears and others like swords. But they all pointed straight to the core of the ice cave, to the high platform built of steps.

On the high platform, ancient ice crystal trees took root, their roots tearing through cracks and plunging into the ground, like giant centipedes coiled on the ice cave.

Above the ancient ice tree, bright, enormous ice crystals hung, each the size of a human head.

Su Yan looked through the ice crystal and his eyes lit up. The ice crystal contained the treasures of the Insect Sacrifice Martial Saint, including rare and precious materials and secret cultivation techniques.

"Hahaha, I've finally found this place. The Martial Saint's legacy is mine."

Ashim's loud laughter rang out; he was immediately drawn to the ancient ice crystal tree upon entering, but his laughter quickly ceased.

At this moment, martial artists emerged from several other directions.

The group of six from the Ice Burial Tribe were all in their Ice Burial Titan form, their eyes fixed intently on the Ice Crystal Ancient Tree.

Hu Yanji was overjoyed, because at the very core, he could see the meteorite sand frozen in the ice crystals above the main trunk.

It was as dazzling as starlight, and formed a band of light around it like the Milky Way. Even the ice could not obscure the brilliance of this rare treasure.

At the same time, the man in black robes also appeared in the ice cave. Under the control of the Frost Bee Bag, a large number of ice-melting insects cleared a path for him, and beneath him was an Extreme Cold Sky Spider.

Among the rogue cultivators, three reached the end, all of them peak Golden Body Realm experts, their eyes fixed intently on the Ice Crystal Ancient Tree.

"The origin of extreme cold..."

The Ice Crystal Ancient Tree is the source of extreme cold. If one devours the entire Ice Crystal Ancient Tree, one will truly obtain the power of the Insect Sacrifice Martial Saint, and breaking through to the Martial Saint realm will be a piece of cake.

Without prior arrangement, almost everyone, upon seeing the ancient ice crystal tree and the group that had entered the ice cave, instantly unleashed all their power, like lions pouncing on their hunt, and pounced directly onto the high platform.

Hu Yan said coldly, "You dare to steal our things? You're asking for death!"

At this moment, Hu Yanji also realized that the cultivation techniques practiced by the Ice Burial Tribe were based on extreme cold, and the Ice Burial Titan was no exception.

Even if he hadn't cultivated the Extreme Cold Insect Demon Technique, he could still break through to Martial Saint by absorbing the Extreme Cold Origin, and might even be able to refine the Ice Burial Titan to be even more powerful.

The six of them immediately took action and were already preparing to ascend the steps in the blink of an eye.

The man in black robes attacked swiftly. The Extreme Cold Sky Spider beneath him moved with incredible speed, almost as fast as Hu Yanji. However, he kept his eyes on Ashimu.

He longed for the most complete frost bee bag.

bang
Ashimu was accompanied by Ashizhai, Wuwei, and Tuoba Xiong. Although they were still banding together and rushing towards the high platform, few could say for sure how much cooperation they still had in their hearts.

As they rushed toward the high platform, the rogue cultivators collided with them, and a fierce battle instantly broke out.

Seeing that a chaotic battle was about to break out, Su Yan also headed straight for the high platform. Although his speed seemed fast, it was not hard to see upon closer inspection that he was crossing the ice shards at an angle that would make him the last person to reach the stone platform.

As everyone ran, Su Yan gave chase. A murderous aura gradually rose within the ice cave, but Su Yan seemed to be protecting everyone in front of him.
