Douluo Continent: What do you mean this is the Holy Spirit Cult?

The black flames erupting from Qi Li's body, along with the powerful aura emanating from the bone dragon, caused the Netherworld Lion to leap up from its spot like a cat with its fur standing on end.

With this one leap, it jumped more than ten meters from the flat ground, which is enough to imagine how powerful the Netherworld Lion's physical strength is.

However, this was far from the end. When it realized that the aura emanating from its lover was not much weaker than its own, a look of struggle and inner conflict clearly appeared in its eyes.

Ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts have acquired intelligence comparable to that of humans.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally able to clearly understand that the human in front of it was not the easy target it had imagined, but an enemy that it needed to deal with with all its might.

Is it really appropriate to rashly hunt the other party under such circumstances?

The Netherworld Lion was unaware of this.

Therefore, it decided to conduct a brief test before deciding whether to continue fighting or leave, if it truly intended to fight with all its might. If it were to fight, it would do everything in its power to avoid injury.

The Star Dou Great Forest has never been a safe place.

Soon, the Netherworld Mad Master took action again. This time, its attack was probing, but with its powerful physique and cultivation, even a probing attack was still deadly to some weak humans and soul beasts.

For the Netherworld Lion, a distance of more than ten meters is just a matter of blinking an eye.

Its form instantly transformed into a cloud of black mist and vanished from its spot. When it reappeared, it was already in front of Qi Li.

Its enormous lion claws, the size of a washbasin, sprang forth black blades, each a foot long. One could imagine that if one were to be cut by these blades, the least one would suffer would be disembowelment.

However, Qi Li showed no panic in the face of Youming Kuangshi's attack, and the black spirit ring behind him immediately lit up.

Qi Li's hands, which were already fully transformed into dragons, swelled even more, doubling his strength, physical attributes, attack power, and defense.

Thud! Squeak!

Facing the enormous claws of the Netherworld Lion, Qi Li not only did not dodge, but also relied on his strong physique to withstand the attack. When the lion's claws tried to pierce Qi Li's completely bone-dragon-transformed arm, they only left a slight scratch on Qi Li's jade-colored dragon claws, while also causing a piercing noise.

The next second, Qi Li had completely grabbed the lion's paw. With a sudden burst of force, the lion's paw, which was the size of a washbasin, was crushed into two lumps of flesh by Qi Li's superior dragon claws. The Netherworld Lion roared in anger and fury, and quickly turned into black mist and disappeared from the spot once again.

However, when the opponent turned into black mist and left, its pair of lion claws had already recovered most of their original shape, at least enough to show their original appearance.

This surprised Qi Li greatly.

His evil fire should have already destroyed the opponent's nether energy, meaning that the lion's claw that his dragon claw crushed should have been genuine damage.

However, the other party alleviated his injuries through some inexplicable means, which was quite unexpected for Qi Li.

Qi Li originally wanted to obtain the other party's beast soul, and now Qi Li felt that he needed to go all out.

The next second, a yellowish-gray light flashed behind Qi Li.

Immediately afterward, the fleeing Netherworld Lion was trapped by the crystal-yellow spider web with every step it took. Although it managed to escape from the web with all its might each time, each escape was a huge drain on its physical and spiritual strength.

At this moment, a yellowish-gray figure was lurking behind the Netherworld Lion.

Huang Xuan, the Evil Soul Master of the Cave Spider.

After more than a year, he had been thoroughly influenced by the subtle effects of the Soul Cage.

He no longer had any intention of resisting. Instead, he was able to unleash his full power with his Martial Soul True Body at Qi Li's whim, and continuously deplete the power of the Netherworld Lion with his Soul Skill Spider Web Prison.

Soon, as he unleashed one soul skill after another on the Netherworld Mad Master, the Netherworld Mad Master's body, already severely depleted of physical strength and soul power, finally could no longer hold on.

As crimson spiderwebs pierced its body, completely annihilating its life, a black spirit ring gradually appeared on its corpse.

Qi Li's first yellow soul ring shone brightly, and the chains of the Soul Prison locked onto the Netherworld Lion.

In an instant, the black soul ring on the corpse of the Netherworld Lion disappeared, and its entire body seemed to have shrunk.

Immediately afterwards, a new Netherworld Lion leaped out from the body of the Netherworld Lion.

It has a gray-black, ethereal fur, a huge body with beautifully sculpted lines, a mane that flows like silk, and sharp, pointed claws.

The Soul of the Netherworld Lion!

Qi Li reached out and pulled slightly, and the figure of the Netherworld Lion, along with the chains, disappeared into his body.

Soul fusion!

Qi Li's Bone Dragon Martial Soul and Netherworld Mad Lion did not have a high degree of fusion.

This forced Qi Li to choose between the power of his Bone Dragon Martial Soul and the power of the Netherworld Mad Lion to take the lead.

Given the current situation, this choice is not difficult.

In just a moment, Qi Li's hair transformed into the form of black silk, resembling that of a Netherworld Lion, and even began to flutter slightly into the air.

The dragon bones on its body turned into black fur, and its hands changed from dragon claws to lion claws.

At the same time, Qi Li also obtained the information he wanted from the soul of the Netherworld Lion, which was an unexpected surprise.

The reason why this lone wolf-like Nether Lion chooses to stay in the mixed zone instead of the core zone is quite simple: he encountered two powerful opponents in the core zone, two opponents who were much stronger than him.

The two powerful soul beasts were not allies, but they showed remarkable unity when facing each other.

It was driven out of its original territory.

Among the soul beasts that drove the Netherworld Lion directly out of its territory was the soul-hunting target it desired—the Cave Demon Spider.

Moreover, according to the information he obtained from the memories of the Netherworld Lion, the cave spider had reached the age of 50,000 years, and its skin color had changed from yellowish-gray to blackish-gray.

The Cave Spider King!
