Chapter 103 Soul-Devouring Spider
That's why the Imperial Beast is said to be the little princess of the Star Dou Great Forest; it remembers every place in this chaotic and complex world of soul beasts very clearly.
They traveled through the forest for a full day, and Huo Yuhao was getting a little dizzy before Long Qiu'er finally stopped.
If Long Qiu'er hadn't pointed out its location, Huo Yuhao's mental detection wouldn't have been able to detect it at all, demonstrating its exceptional ability to conceal itself.
After seeing the spider's full appearance through mental detection, Huo Yuhao was immediately stunned.
It was a huge and ferocious spider with a solid exoskeleton, eight long legs with extremely strong penetrating power, an even larger head, and a powerful spiritual aura emanating from it. Its dark green body was almost indistinguishable in the forest.
Eight small, blood-red eyes darted around, and its ferocious mandibles opened and closed, dripping venom that corroded small pits on the ground. Beside it was something entangled in spider silk, which seemed to be its prey.
Huo Yuhao blinked, trying hard to recall the knowledge about identifying soul beasts that Zhang Lexuan had taught him before.
After a moment, he tentatively asked, "This is—a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider?!"
Long Qiu'er nodded. "It is indeed the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider. It is a king among spider-type soul beasts. Compared to it, creatures like the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the Cave Demon Spider are simply weak."
"I believe you have also felt it. It has a cultivation of 60,000 years, and its spiritual power is very strong, almost comparable to that of a spiritual beast of the same level. It is probably because it has undergone some kind of mutation."
Yes, this Soul-Devouring Spider has a cultivation period of 60,000 years! But its spiritual power is no weaker than that of the Golden Tortoiseshell, which had been around for 100,000 years.
Huo Yuhao's intuition told him that he had to obtain its spirit ring at all costs!
Sixty thousand years—if it's about absorbing soul spirits, it shouldn't be a problem, but it might be a bit troublesome if it's about soul rings.
"Please, Miss Qiu'er, this is my fourth spirit ring!"
Long Qiu'er nodded decisively, because the Soul Devouring Spider, a type of soul beast, sits at the same table as the Human-Faced Spider and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is a really unpopular group. Even the Emperor-level auspicious beasts don't have much affection for such disgusting creatures.
Huo Yuhao made a gesture, indicating that he should take a detour to flank them, but Long Qiu'er shook her head with a touch of pride.
Then, vast expanses of golden dragon scales and five black spirit rings rose from beneath her feet—the first, the second, and so on.
Third, three black spirit rings lit up simultaneously. Her delicate body suddenly grew to two meters tall, her imposing aura seemingly unable to be concealed even by the mental interference field.
First Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Body; Second Soul Skill: Dragon Power; Third Soul Skill: Golden Dragon Fist.
A dragon head also appeared on her right fist, a lifelike golden dragon head, and the elemental energies of [Light] and [Flame] around it were clearly increasing.
Huo Yuhao swallowed hard. This kind of aura was terrifying. Did such a powerful Soul King really exist in this world?
Neither of them said anything, but Huo Yuhao knew what he had to do. He drew the Elucidator from his waist, and deep purple lightning danced wildly on it, turning the pure black blade a deep purple.
As if placing all its weight on the sword, a deep purple lightning sword beam slashed straight at the Soul-Devouring Spider.
This Soul-Devouring Spider has incredibly strong senses. It reacted instantly, crossing its two long legs in front of it to block Huo Yuhao's attack using the Elucidator, while simultaneously unleashing two dark green crescent blades.
Huo Yuhao naturally didn't expect his move to injure him; he only wanted to unleash the special effect of the ultimate lightning—paralysis.
Even if you are a 60,000-year-old soul beast, you will be paralyzed by the extreme lightning for a second or two after being hit by this.
While the Soul-Devouring Spider was paralyzed, the golden dragon head, wreathed in golden flames, roared and struck its two crossed, defensive forelegs.
With a deafening ripping sound as if the air had been forcibly torn apart, the Soul-Devouring Spider was sent flying backward by the terrifying force, crashing into several large trees and even having its two front legs broken off.
The ultimate light suppressed its evil, while the overload reaction from the ultimate lightning and ultimate flames wreaked havoc on its body. The Soul-Eating Spider let out a series of strange cries, then got up and ran away.
It was clearly the one with higher cultivation level, but it still ran away.
"Hmph, trying to run away!"
A golden halo appeared beneath her feet, spreading outwards to envelop Huo Yuhao and the Soul-Devouring Spider.
Long Qiu'er's innate domain, the Golden Dragon Berserk Domain.
Thanks to Tang Wulin, at least people now know what kind of soul skills the Golden Dragon King possesses.
This domain allows Long Qiu'er to enter a berserk state, during which her strength, defense, and speed will double; at the same time, allies within the domain's range will receive a boost, with their attack and defense increasing by almost one-third of Long Qiu'er's.
For the enemy, that's a full third of the damage, plus the suppression of their bloodline.
The Soul-Devouring Spider squealed and howled within Long Qiu'er's domain, but it naturally had no intention of waiting to die. Centered on its body, the surroundings began to become illusory and unreal, as if a chaotic eye had opened from the void, watching Huo Yuhao and Long Qiu'er.
Even Huo Yuhao felt dizzy, as if his spirit and even soul had been dragged into a spider web by this guy, unable to move.
So powerful! This is the mental attack of the Soul-Devouring Spider!
At the same time, foul-smelling venom and chaotic crescent-shaped light blades were released from the Soul-Devouring Spider as if it didn't need soul power. Large swaths of spider webs instantly enveloped the two of them, and the intense fluctuations in soul power even made it seem like Long Qiu'er's domain was about to collapse.
If it were an ordinary Soul Master, or even a Soul Douluo, they would be overwhelmed by the Soul Devouring Spider's mental attacks and desperate counterattacks; those with insufficient mental strength might even be struck and die on the spot.
But what could the Soul-Devouring Spider do? There were two people standing before it—
As an imperial auspicious beast, Long Qiu'er is immune to all mental attacks. Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea is protected by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and his own spiritual power level is also quite high. He is immune to extreme fire and extreme water, so it can be said that he has completely restrained this guy.
Therefore, its attack effect is minimal.
Lightning crackled around Huo Yuhao, diverting the Soul-Devouring Spider's web to the other side. Long Qiu'er let out a delicate shout, tapped her toes on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and soared dozens of meters above the ground.
A brownish-gold light flashed on Huo Yuhao's left leg, and two golden shields appeared precisely on him and Long Qiu'er.
One of the skills of the Golden Tortoiseshell's left leg bone is an invincible shield.
The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider has a cultivation period of 60,000 years, which is almost equivalent to a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse among humans. In terms of numerical strength, Huo Yuhao and Long Qiu'er are far inferior to it, so it is naturally not the time to hide such a move as the Invincible Shield.
The invincible shield perfectly defended against the crescent slash released by the Soul-Devouring Spider. Huo Yuhao stomped his left foot again, and his soul power surged. A brownish-gold rock pillar shot into the sky. Unlike the usual smooth square pillar, it was sharp.
Another application of the Soul Skill [Earth's Core] is [Cliff Sword].
The Soul-Devouring Spider, which had just unleashed its soul skill, was lifted high into the air, leaving it with nowhere to gain leverage.
How could Long Qiuji possibly let such a good opportunity slip by! Her fifth spirit ring lit up, and she gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly in her right hand. The Golden Dragon Spear melted as if it were liquid and flowed into her palm, instantly spreading throughout Long Qiuji's entire body.
A resounding dragon roar rang out, and a huge golden dragon instantly appeared from her body, charging straight at the Soul-Devouring Spider with an indomitable momentum.
The intense, bright flames and explosions echoed through the forest. Huo Yuhao couldn't help but use his soul power to cover his ears, and the sound gradually dissipated after more than ten seconds.
"Thump!"
A huge object fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The Soul-Eating Spider looked truly pathetic. Its remaining six spider legs hung limply as if broken, and most of its once thick carapace was shattered. A strange and foul-smelling purplish-black liquid was scattered around, and blood was flowing from three of its eight small eyes.
Long Qiu'er landed lightly on the ground and walked over with a rather domineering air.
Her long, slender legs were encased in white high-heeled boots, the boot shafts outlining perfect leg lines, and the ten-centimeter-long sharp heels gleaming coldly.
Long Qiu'er lifted her leg, her high-heeled boots landing directly on the Soul-Devouring Spider's massive head. The sole of her boot made a soft "creak" as it touched the spider's surface. A cold smile curled at the corner of Qiu'er's lips as she looked down at the trembling spider beneath her feet, exuding a suffocating aura of dominance.
Huo Yuhao stared intently at the scene. He had no doubt that if Long Qiu'er exerted just a little force, her sharp heel would pierce through the head of the Soul-Devouring Spider without any resistance.
Glancing at the sharp heel, which was at least ten centimeters high, he secretly swallowed, but Huo Yuhao still didn't shout out the annoying words, "Sister stepped on me!!!"
He coughed twice, shifted his gaze from Long Qiu'er's beautiful legs, and said to the Soul-Devouring Spider on the ground, which looked dead, "Now, you still have a chance to live. Do you want to hear it?"
