Dugu Feng's Eight Spider Lances fully extended from his back, piercing straight into Tang San's body.
The color of the Eight Spider Lances had transformed into a purplish-gold, completely devoid of any spider-like malevolence or repulsiveness, instead exuding a noble temperament.
Brilliant golden energy flowed like liquid along the eight spider legs from Tang San's eight ribs to Dugu Feng's back.
With a thought, Dugu Feng controlled the eight spider lances to slowly fold, their tips gradually withdrawing from Tang San's body.
An astonishing scene unfolded—as the Eight Spider Lances retracted, they left behind golden threads connecting Tang San and the spider lances, still devouring the energy of Tang San's External Soul Bone.
"Devouring Golden Threads!"
This term surfaced in Dugu Feng's Sea of Spirit. It was an ability that emerged when the Eight Spider Lances evolved to a certain stage, further enhancing their devouring capability.
Using the Devouring Golden Threads, Dugu Feng no longer needed to approach his enemies; he could shoot out energy threads to devour them while also entangling and binding them.
Having devoured Tang San's External Soul Bone once more, the essence of the Eight Spider Lances continued to strengthen, approaching the divine level infinitely.
Dugu Feng nodded with satisfaction, preparing to retract the Devouring Golden Threads. It was time to leave.
Just then, a cold sweat broke out all over Dugu Feng's body as an icy will suddenly descended.
"Oh? The Spider Emperor Wings I bestowed have been destroyed again? Who did it?
Did I choose a worthless trash?
No, you also possess Spider Emperor Wings.
I don't recall bestowing them upon you!
Let me think...
Indeed, I never bestowed them upon you!
I understand now—you seized them all, taken from that hammer-wielder.
You're quite the snake—cold enough, evil enough!"
A chilling will surged from within the Eight Spider Lances on Dugu Feng's back, making every word clear to him.
Dugu Feng broke out in a cold sweat. Who was this?
"Who... are you?"
Dugu Feng instantly submitted.
The voice was ancient and ethereal, immediately reminding him of the will he had heard during Ye Lingling's Spirit Evolution.
It could appear silently without even triggering a reaction from the Overlord Venom or Core Pearl.
It was likely the will of a god.
Moreover, the other party mentioned Spider Emperor Wings—could it be related to the Eight Spider Lances?
"Ah, I remember you now. Last time, I believe I bestowed upon you the Spider God Possession skill.
It seems you are more outstanding than that hammer-wielder.
You are quite remarkable.
I'll be waiting for you..."
The voice grew increasingly faint until it disappeared completely.
The icy sensation on Dugu Feng's body vanished immediately. He quickly activated the rainbow light at his brow.
The light illuminated his entire body, not sparing even Tang San.
He scanned Tang San back and forth with the light.
Yet he found nothing.
The Eight Spider Lances within his body had completely returned to normal, with the energy of the Devouring Golden Threads and the eight spider legs all retracted inside.
He still discovered nothing.
"He bestowed upon me the Spider God Possession skill..."
Could the Spider God truly exist?
Spider God Possession was his Fifth Soul Skill, derived from the Man-faced Demon Spider.
It could double all attributes—a comprehensive enhancement that, when combined, increased his combat power by at least twofold.
He had been astonished by this skill back then and had wondered whether the Spider God truly existed.
After hearing that voice just now, Dugu Feng became convinced that there must be a Spider God in the God Realm.
But Spirit Beasts cannot become gods!
Could it be an ancient divine beast similar to the Phoenix God?
There is no information about any Spider God in Douluo Continent.
If such a deity truly existed, the number of First-level Gods is fixed, so this would definitely be impossible.
The most likely possibility is that it's a Second-level or Third-level God.
The other party must be searching for a successor!
"He said he's waiting for me..."
Dugu Feng revealed a peculiar smile. I am determined to inherit the Asura God's Godhood.
How could a Second-level or Third-level God compare to the Asura?
Forget it, no point dwelling on this. Now is not the time for deep investigation.
Perhaps it could serve as a backup option.
Dugu Feng took a deep look at the unconscious Tang San before leaping down the way he came.
Having gained benefits, it was naturally time to make his escape.
After entering the underground passage, Dugu Feng calmly destroyed all the tunnels.
Then he sped away, putting distance between himself and the Li Clan's mansion.
The rest was simple. After emerging from underground, he immediately had the Emerald Dragon Snake carry him back to Bone Douluo.
When Dugu Feng returned to his room, less than two hours had passed in total.
The Emerald Dragon Snake, which had rendered great service, was coiled around Dugu Feng's wrist.
It had cultivated to sixty thousand years.
This was Dugu Feng's confidence in being able to travel to and from Heaven Dou City and complete his business in just over an hour.
He sensed Bone Douluo in the adjacent room.
Seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Well, according to his knowledge, Bone Douluo had reached a cultivation bottleneck.
With strength at the 95th rank, it would be difficult to break through to the 96th rank without new insights.
Progress beyond the 95th rank depends on comprehension.
Sword Douluo, who was stronger than him, should have reached the 96th rank and might even be approaching a breakthrough to the 97th rank.
Sword Douluo's talent was quite remarkable. If he hadn't died in the battle against Bibi Dong later, he might have reached the 99th rank.
As for Bone Douluo, he seemed to have given up - not even cultivating at night!
Dugu Feng wouldn't waste cultivation time. After calming his mind, he resumed cultivating his Soul Power.
The night passed without incident, and soon dawn arrived. Dugu Feng and Bone Douluo set out again for Tongshui City.
Meanwhile, in Heaven Dou City.
At the Clear Sky Sect.
Early in the morning, Yu Xiaogang came to check on his beloved son Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang's love for Tang San was genuine.
He woke up early every day to personally prepare nutritious meals for Tang San.
He researched daily meal combinations to give Tang San the best cultivation foundation, hoping Tang San would cultivate to become a Titled Douluo.
Once Tang San reached Titled Douluo level and began adding Spirit Rings to his second Martial Soul,
Yu Xiaogang could quickly reach above the 95th rank by absorbing the Soul Power from Spirit Rings.
Being a Twin Soul Spirits possessor, no one in the world would be Tang San's match.
Yu Xiaogang spent his days filled with such expectations.
Arriving at Tang San's door, he felt somewhat strange.
Normally, the door would be wide open, and Tang San would definitely be practicing his eye techniques.
But today the door was tightly shut, with no movement from inside.
"Has Xiao San become lazy?
Cultivation depends on constant daily effort. Even though we're preparing to go to Poseidon Island, there shouldn't be any relaxation.
Until the day we depart, training should continue with full effort.
How could he still be in bed at this hour!"
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang grew somewhat angry.
Although Tang San had always been diligent, there was no such thing as diligent enough - only more diligent.
Wasting one morning meant wasting the talent of Twin Soul Spirits.
Yu Xiaogang pushed the door open abruptly.
Stepping inside, he grew even angrier.
Sure enough, Tang San was still asleep.
He shook his head in frustration.
Xiao San, ah Xiao San, you've let me down so much.
You just reached level sixty-four and achieved some success, and now you're slacking off?
