Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

After being put down, the human-faced spider knew it was no match for Ning Chuan and ran away.

Seven more days passed, and Ning Chuan found a human-faced demon spider that was approximately six thousand years old.

After capturing it and devouring it alive with the Eight Spider Lances, Ning Chuan could clearly feel that the Eight Spider Lances had become stronger.

Days passed by like this. During the day, Ning Chuan would wander through the Sunset Forest, and at night he would return to his cultivation.

Occasionally, they encounter powerful spirit beasts, and in order to enhance their combat abilities, they will fight them.

In this way, the days passed day by day.

Three months later, Ning Chuan had hunted down more than twenty human-faced spiders in Sunset Forest.

However, their lifespan doesn't increase; the strongest one only reaches about ten thousand years.

However, the Xuan Tian Gong progressed rapidly. In just three months, he not only cultivated the Xuan Tian Gong to the eighth level, but his soul power also rose steadily, reaching level sixty-five.

On this day, Ning Chuan finally found a high-age human-faced demon spider in the Star Dou Great Forest. It was a human-faced demon spider king with a cultivation of over 50,000 years. If there were no surprises, it was the one that Tang San hunted for Blue Silver Grass's third soul ring after reviving Xiao Wu in the original story.

After all, the number of human-faced spiders is already small, and those that have reached 50,000 years are even fewer.

There can't be a second one in Sunset Forest.

With the assistance of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain, Ning Chuan's mental power immediately locked onto the creature's location. He propelled himself with his right leg, leaping into the air and hurtling towards the Human-Faced Demon Spider King.

Soul beasts with a cultivation period of over ten thousand years already possess considerable intelligence, let alone this Human-Faced Demon Spider King, whose cultivation period has reached over fifty thousand years.

Once locked onto by Ning Chuan's mental power, the human-faced demon spider king immediately became alert. Sensing that the aura of the human soul master flying towards it was not particularly strong, it sprang up without hesitation and quickly rushed towards Ning Chuan.

The speed is extremely fast.

It had a premonition that if it devoured the human in front of it, it might have a chance to break through 100,000 years.

A moment later, Ning Chuan finally saw the human-faced demon spider king, which was over 50,000 years old.

Overall, its body diameter appeared to be only about three meters, similar in size to the six-thousand-year-old demon spider he had hunted before, but its carapace was a strange dark gold color. There were no patterns on it.

"Ah Yin, trap it." Seeing the human-faced spider rushing towards him without hesitation, Ning Chuan activated his Xuan Tian Gong, and five dazzling soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and white—spread around him.

Five spirit rings lit up simultaneously, and Ah Yin emerged from a cyan vortex, arriving above the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor. As her body shone with a bright blue-gold light, blue silver grass within a hundred-meter radius transformed into golden vines over a foot thick, frantically coiling around the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor.

This is the second evolution skill of the Blue Silver Domain: Blue Silver Area Entanglement. Influenced by Ning Chuan's fifth spirit ring, she is currently able to unleash three skills: Blue Silver Domain Disguise, Blue Silver Area Entanglement, and Myriad Manifestations.

If the original soul ring can be retrieved, then restoring all original skills and cultivation will be a piece of cake.

At the same time, Ning Chuan released his sword domain, and with a wave of his right hand, eighteen Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords flew out.

After the eighteen flying swords swept around the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, Ning Chuan's fifth spirit ring lit up.

Ah Yin tacitly withdrew her Blue Silver area-of-effect entangling ability.

Just as the human-faced demon spider broke free from the layers of Blue Silver Emperor vines, before it could even make a move, it was hoisted up by Ning Chuan's Blue Silver Sword Formation, held in mid-air, unable to move.

"This was surprisingly easy, but to ensure its body remains intact, I didn't use the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, just to be on the safe side."

With a flick of his left hand, the miniature peak formed from the Thousand Peaks appeared in Ning Chuan's palm. He tossed it lightly, and in the blink of an eye, the Thousand Peaks grew to an astonishing hundred meters in size, resembling a gigantic black mountain, hovering above Ning Chuan's head.

Seeing this enormous mountain that almost blotted out the sky, the Human-Faced Spider King no longer dared to feign weakness. The next moment, a dense layer of gray light suddenly erupted from the Human-Faced Spider King.

This caused its body, which was originally only three meters long, to instantly expand to more than ten meters, like a giant millstone. Countless sharp barbs grew from each of its thick spider legs, as if they were inlaid with countless daggers.

Using brute force, he actually broke free from Ning Chuan's Blue Silver Sword Formation.

It unleashed the power of the Spider God.

This is an ability similar to a Martial Soul True Body, and it requires one year of cultivation to maintain for one second.

Only human-faced demon spiders that are over ten thousand years old can use this technique.

It originally intended to pretend to be captured on purpose, and then launch a fatal attack at the crucial moment.

Unexpectedly, this human in front of me doesn't play by the rules at all.

Without a second thought, it pounced on Ningchuan, intending to capture her before the black mountain could fall.

"The Spider God has possessed me, just as I suspected."

Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The instant the Human-Faced Demon Spider King broke free from its restraints, he pointed at the massive black thousand-layered peak with one hand.

With a whoosh, the mountain suddenly appeared above the Human-Faced Demon Spider King's head and then crashed down hard.

The Human-Faced Spider King never expected that the mountain peak could teleport. With a bang, it was hit squarely and pressed down under the mountain.

The grass and trees were also crushed.

Ning Chuan chuckled inwardly. The Red Rock Turtle, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, was known by Qian Renxue for having the strongest skill. It was not only powerful in attack, but it could also teleport.

Once locked on by mental power, there is no other way but to withstand it or to master the teleportation skill to teleport out of the attack range of Thousand Peaks.

The Human-Faced Spider King should never have rushed over without hesitation when it saw that he was a Soul Emperor.

If it were to use its stealth skill that could evade mental detection, Ning Chuan would really need to put in a lot of effort to deal with it.

Boom—The Human-Faced Spider King was hit squarely.

Despite his strong defensive armor, he was still inevitably hit by the hundred-meter-high mountain and seriously injured, leaving him sluggish.

In that brief moment of hesitation, Ning Chuan used his left hand to control Thousand Peaks to ascend into the air, and with a flick of his right finger, he controlled the eighteen Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords that had been previously knocked away to surround it. His fifth soul ring lit up again.

It's still the fifth soul skill: Blue Silver Sword Formation.

It merely triggered the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder. With the Spider God possessing him, Ning Chuan no longer needed to worry about blasting the Human-Faced Demon Spider King to smithereens.

Crack!

The nine green bamboo bee cloud swords stuck in the ground simultaneously released the evil-repelling divine thunder.

Before the Blue Silver Sword Formation could even launch its attack, the Human-Faced Demon Spider King's body shrank at a visible speed, returning to its original size of three meters, and a black soul ring appeared.

"Tsk tsk, this Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder is truly the nemesis of evil creatures. It so easily annihilated a human-faced demon spider king that was over 50,000 years old. Wait, there's actually a soul bone inside!"

Ning Chuan leaped onto the corpse of the Human-Faced Spider King, unleashing his eight spider spears to pierce its body. Just as he was about to absorb the soul ring, he sensed energy fluctuations emanating from the soul bone. (End of Chapter)
