If a magnificent army of thousands of horses and men fought him within this great forest, he could still instantly launch Binding with all the blue silver grass. All he would consume was a bit of spiritual force. Unrelated to his spirit power.
This Man Faced Demon Spider became Tang San’s first experimental subject. While the madly growing enormous blue silver grass obstructed its path forward, it frantically launched one Binding ability after another. The closer Tang San got to it, the more frantic the blue silver grass reacted.
In other words, the closer to the center of the Blue Silver Domain, the more distinct the effect of the domain, the more powerful these common blue silver grass were after growing.
Chapter 163: Evolution, Eight Spider Lances
For instance, for the blue silver grass within one hundred meters of Tang San, he could rely on Blue Silver Domain to completely give them the durability of Blue Silver Emperor, to the extent that its shape was even exactly the same.
Fighting in the forest with this Blue Silver Emperor he possessed, even disregarding spirit bones, it would still be impossible for equally ranked Spirit Masters to win.
Finally, the Man Faced Demon Spider’s enormous body was already in sight ahead. Tang San faced the sky and issued a mournful howl, all his hatred seeming to burst forth in this one moment. At the same time as he howled, he also temporarily placed Xiao Wu’s body in the capable of holding living things Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse. He didn’t want Xiao Wu to see his vicious side, even if she was currently unconscious.
Amidst the frantic roar, white light like sharp awls surged from Tang San, directly thrusting at that Man Faced Demon Spider like a giant white spear.
The Deathgod Domain erupted. Just like the Blue Silver Domain’s evolution, under the effect of a hundred thousand year spirit ring, Tang San’s Deathgod Domain had also advanced. What he used right now was the ability the Deathgod Domain had gained after evolving, Slaughter Assault[1].
Slaughter Assault’s effect: Releases the Deathgod Domain straight in one direction, after locking on to the target, while Tang San was in combat with this target, his speed would increase by one hundred percent, his attack power increase by thirty percent. This boost was effective on any attack Tang San launched, including spirit abilities.
If the Blue Silver Domain’s progress could be said to be purely about control power, then the Deathgod Domain after advancing pointed at destructive power.
The white light targeted that Man Faced Demon Spider’s body in a flash without the least suspense, and Tang San’s already extreme speed accelerated once again. He shot at that enormous Man Faced Demon Spider just like an artillery shell.
Right now, all the blue silver grass within one hundred meters had completely turned a dazzling golden color, countless Binding abilities frantically superimposing on that Man Faced Demon Spider.
Even though throwing off such Blue Silver Emperor wasn’t too difficult for the ten thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider, the Blue Silver Emperor it confronted was really far too numerous.
Faced with close to unlimited Binding, the Man Faced Demon Spider couldn’t display its speed advantage, it could only quietly watch Tang San charge towards it. Now it understood that running wouldn’t work. In order to survive, only destroying this pursuing enemy would work.
A rich gray light suddenly erupted from this Man Faced Demon Spider, and a strange scene took place. Its originally incomparably enormous body expanded once again, its main body expanding to more than seven meters in diameter in a flash, just like an enormous millstone. Each giant leg also grew countless barbs, as if inlayed with countless daggers.
Layer after layer of grey streams spiraled around its body, all its carapace at least doubling in thickness.
When confronting life threatening danger, this Man Faced Demon Spider planned to go all out. The ability it used now was the same as human Spirit Masters’ Spirit Avatar.
Only Spirit Avatar was an ability to Spirit Masters, and the strength the Man Faced Demon Spider erupted with now required burning its cultivation. This ability was called Spider God Possession, and with each second it maintained this state, it would burn one year of its cultivation. If it always fought like this, before too long, it would collapse. Therefore, it had to use a blitzkrieg strategy.
After Blue Silver Emperor once again twisted around its enormous body, it would immediately emit thick smoke. After the Man Faced Demon Spider fully used the Spider God Possession, its strength became extremely frightening. Spider legs moving quickly, it directly pulled apart the swiftly corroding Blue Silver Emperor. Its hind legs forcefully supporting on the ground, its enormous body rose to meet Tang San.
The formidable pressure made Tang San’s heart shiver. After using the Spider God Possession, even though the strength of the Man Faced Spider in front of him couldn’t compare to the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Blue Bull Python, the aura it released was approaching that kind of power. Tang San knew that he couldn’t stiffly collide head on.
A strand of Blue Silver Emperor flew out from the sound, twisting around Tang San’s waist, forcefully pulling him away, instantly avoiding the impending collision.
With a pu sound, an enormous spiderweb shot from the Man Faced Spider’s mouth, directly covering Tang San’s direction. This frightful spiderweb was also completely grey, and the range it covered unexpectedly reached more than a hundred meters.
A halo of pink light abruptly erupted from Tang San’s right arm. At the same time as the red light flashed, Tang San’s bones quickly issued a series of cracks. The next moment, his body quietly disappeared from its place, and with a flash, he appeared in the air above the Man Faced Demon Spider. His right arm was also simultaneously enveloped in Blue Silver Emperor, turned pure gold, the fifth spirit right flaring.
That’s right, the spirit bone Xiao Wu left Tang San contained a teleportation ability.
Different from the Teleportation Xiao Wu originally used, this spirit bone’s teleportation ability had a one hundred meter range. Moreover, it didn’t need any buffer time, instead usable continuously. With each use, it would consume one percent of Tang San’s spirit power as price.
The Man Faced Spider suddenly discovered Tang San had disappeared, and after it was distracted a moment, Tang San’s aura appeared once again. It immediately faced upward, the small eyes on its abdomen attentively watching Tang San, at the same time the two eight meter long front legs directly pierced straight at Tang San’s abdomen.
Hong—— Pure gold light abruptly erupted, Blue Silver Emperor’s fifth spirit ability, Blue Silver Overlord Spear, erupted.
Under the amplification of the Blue Silver Domain as well as the thirty percent boost of the Deathgod Domain, when the pure gold Blue Silver Overlord Spear abruptly left Tang San’s arm, it erupted with an astonishing blood flame behind it, completely warping the surrounding air, it even tore open a minute black crack in space, frantically swallowing everything in its surroundings.
Along with cultivating to the Spirit Emperor level, and the hundred thousand year spirit ring’s boost to his body, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear no longer needed as much time to charge. Among all capabilities he currently possessed, this was also the one with the most formidable attack power.
With ten thousand year cultivation, the Man Faced Demon Spider was extremely sensitive. Discovering it couldn’t dodge, it almost immediately leaned over, not agreeing to expose the vital locations of its eyes.
Tang San originally didn’t plan on attacking its vitals either. This fifth spirit ring the Blue Silver King helped Tang San condense possessed an effect equivalent to an ability produced by a fifty thousand year spirit beast. Let alone when Tang San now possessed so many boosts. The attack power displayed by his Blue Silver Overlord Spear wasn’t inferior to a seventieth ranked Spirit Sage’s attack after using Spirit Avatar, at the same time, due to its focused nature, the pure might of the attack was even greater than what a Spirit Sage had with Spirit Avatar.
Even if it wanted to hide its vitals again, it was still unable to oppose absolute force. The Man Faced Demon Spider also couldn’t have expected Tang San’s attack power to actually be so great.
Widespread cracks had appeared on its most solid back carapace, its whole body completely turned over in midair, and it was also already in a stunned state.
Even though the additional stun effect of the Blue Silver Overlord Spear didn’t last long, to a control type Spirit Master specializing in optimal timing like Tang San, this was already enough.
A blood colored light flashing at the corners of his eyes, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone pushing out, at the same time as that Man Faced Demon Spider was blasted flying, Tang San also charged tightly after.
Spreading his limbs, Tang San’s compared to the Man Faced Demon Spider completely unproportional body shot directly at its abdomen, and simultaneously, the Eight Spider Lances abruptly unfolded from his back.
Different from the changes in the Blue Silver Emperor, this evolvable external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances had been almost completely reconstructed by Xiao Wu’s power, and right now the numerous barbs on the tips of the lances had completely turned a terrifying blood color, as if they could drip blood at any moment.
The overall volume hadn’t increased again with the evolution, but it was no longer as sparkling as translucent, having rather turned turbid, brimming with killing intent.
Tang San directly threw himself in front of that Man Faced Demon Spider’s body, several dozen strands of Blue Silver Emperor bursting out, unexpectedly Binding his body together with that Man Faced Demon Spider, the Eight Spider Lances abruptly thrust out, exploiting this extremely brief moment to resolutely thrust into the Man Faced Demon Spider’s eyes.
It wasn’t that the Man Faced Demon Spider was weak, it was really because the suddenness of Tang San’s Teleportation was too powerful. Further adding that peerlessly tyrannical Blue Silver Overlord Spear, this created the present situation.
Even though the Man Faced Demon Spider’s body was durable, its eyes were still its greatest weak point. Tang San’s Eight Spider Lances resolutely thrust into its eyes, purple blood instantly splashing out.
An extremely sharp lamenting cry burst from the mouth of that ten thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider, its eight immense eight meter spider legs withdrawing simultaneously, resolutely thrusting at Tang San.
If this thrust went true, let alone a Tang San, even ten of him wouldn’t be lucky enough to escape. This was the counter attack of the Man Faced Demon Spider at death’s door.
However, pink light once again flashed from Tang San’s right arm. This time, it wasn’t Teleportation. That pink light instantly turned into a barrier of light, covering all of Tang San, and also covering the Eight Spider Lances.
With a loud sonorous sound, Tang San only rocked once, the ten thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider’s terrifying spider lanced unexpectedly unable to do any harm to him. But his own Eight Spider Lances had already begun to drain frantically.
The hundred thousand year spirit bone’s additional spirit ability number two, Invincible Golden Body. Effective for three seconds.
The Soft Bone Demon Rabbit right arm bone Xiao Wu bestowed on Tang San didn’t have one ability, but two. Besides Teleportation, there was still Invincible Golden Body.
These two abilities both belonged to Xiao Wu, and even Tang San didn’t know why the hundred thousand year spirit bone would hold two abilities. What he could understand the least was, both being hundred thousand year spirit bones, why his Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone only gave one flying ability.
Even though the Invincible Golden Body only worked for three seconds, this was already sufficient for Tang San. The blood colored Eight Spider Lances’ powerful drain ability collapsed the ten thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider’s defenses in a split second.
It was invaded by extreme toxin and frantic draining. Tang San could clearly feel eight streams of ice cold energy follow along the Eight Spider Lances into him, directly condensing at his back. But the ten thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider below him shuddered violently, its bulky spider legs without a chance for a second thrust.
Tang San’s eyes had already completely turned blood red, the frightful killing intent released with the Deathgod Domain laying out a faint layer of frost within one hundred meters.
“Xiao Wu, did you see? I’ve already begun retaliating. As long as they harmed you, no matter who, there will be only one ending.”
The Spider God Possession affected Man Faced Demon Spider’s body gradually shrank, very quickly recovering to its previous appearance. The energy frantically rushing into Tang San’s body condensed at his back, without entering his body. This was completely different from when he drained the Spirit Hall experts before. Tang San understood that this might be because the target was the same kind of spirit beast as the one that produced the Eight Spider Lances.
The Man Faced Demon Spider beneath him gradually shriveled up, even that solid carapace slowly softened. Suddenly, Tang San felt his back heat up, an extremely scorching sensation entering his body through his back, immediately giving his whole body a relaxed feeling.
Immediately afterward, the heat began to withdraw, quickly condensing at his chest and abdomen. Tang San clearly felt something solid spread from his back, folding around and gathering at his chest.
Variation? Eight Spider Lances had mutated? Tang San was inwardly alarmed, subconsciously looking at his chest. The clothes he wore had already turned to ashes by that constantly spreading bloody color. Even the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges and Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse were completely covered by that bloody color.
Each Eight Spider Lance had shrunk somewhat, going from the original four meters to about three, but its color was no longer turbid, once again turned sparkling and crystalline, regaining that tint from when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself.
Must peculiar was that along with the forerunner of the spreading blood color, bloody light began to ripple like water. Very soon, his chest, stomach and back were completely enveloped, appearing as a layer of bloody red plate armor. The silhouette of each armor plate was completely the same as Tang San’s muscles, the whole armor seemingly having a ruby texture. This red armor only spread upwards to his neck, and down to his waist, without spreading towards the four limbs. Moreover, Tang San could clearly feel that even though the plate armor on his back was just as thick as on his chest, it was still much more resilient.
What was going on here? Eight Spider Lances’ evolution?
Yes, Tang San guessed correctly, this time the Eight Spider Lances had not only evolved, but moreover made a qualitative leap.
The first man Faced Demon Spider had assigned Tang San the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances, the second Man Faced Demon Spider supplied it with even more energy. Along with the constant progress of Tang San’s strength, the Eight Spider Lances and also constantly progressed, bit by bit revealing the formidable force of the external spirit bone. Draining the extremely high cultivation of this third Man Faced Demon Spider today, and even draining it while in the Spider God Possession state, it immediately caused a different change.
Even if the Man Faced Demon Spider’s might still couldn’t compare to hundred thousand year spirit beasts under the Spider God Possession, its aura was already similar, and the chance of producing a spirit bone was thereby greatly increased. After its painful death by being drained by the Eight Spider Lances, it had caused something similar to the Eight Spider Lances Tang San originally obtained from that first Man Faced Demon Spider, equivalent to the appearance of yet another external spirit bone.
However, the external spirit bone that appeared this time was swallowed by the externa
l spirit bone Tang San already had, the two spirit bones fusing into one, causing a special fusion effect. It was also just because of this that Tang San’s original Eight Spider Lances made a qualitative leap, appearing as this solid armor.
One formidable energy after another constantly transmitted from his back into the hundred bones of the four limbs, simulating his body. Tang San discovered that his spirit power once again rose a large chunk, from sixty fifth rank entering the sixty sixth rank. After passing the sixtieth rank, each rank of progress required tremendous spirit power, it clearly showed how large the effect of the Eight Spider Lances’ current evolution was.
Just when Tang San thought everything was finished, suddenly, his head, right arm and right leg immediately showed changes.
At his head, a refreshing stream spread downwards, in a flash connecting with the fiery hot ruby armor at his chest, the right leg producing an extremely gentle aura, also equally connecting with that ruby armor. The aura transmitted by the right arm was the most monstrous, Tang San unexpectedly sensed a tender love from that aura.
A clear cold blue color emerged from the space between Tang San’s eyebrows, and immediately afterward, a spot of blue light burst open, an ice cold feeling covering Tang San’s entire head and neck in the blink of an eye.
A complete helmet appeared over Tang San’s head. The helmet was very simple, all blue, and on the back altogether nine pole arm shaped metal protrusions stood out, extremely aggressive. On the forehead, a ball of illusory blue light condensed, releasing a faint splendor. The ice cold current connected with the fiery hot armor on his chest, and the color immediately changed, as if polluted, Tang San’s helmet also turned a ruby color. Where it connected to the armor on his chest, there wasn’t the slightest crack.
