Chapter 334 Golden Dragon's Terrifying Claws.
The Soul-Devouring Spider King laughed maniacally. Since his cultivation reached 190,000 years, his mood had grown heavier day by day. Having suffered severe injuries in his early years, he had absolutely no confidence in surviving the 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation.
Unless, of course, ten-thousand-year soul beasts lined up to feed him, two at a time, three meals a day, for a hundred years, then with his original essence restored, not only would the 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation be nothing, but even the 300,000-year Heavenly Tribulation would be a piece of cake. But the idea was beautiful, the reality cruel. In the core area, he was like a rat crossing the street; even breathing outside was a mistake. How could such a thing be possible?
Just when he thought he could only wait to die in the gutter, heaven seemed to favor him again. The evil soul of a Ghost Shadow Leopard King suddenly entered the abyss where he was, bringing him an aura that his entire soul coveted. He wanted to devour the two human brats before him, making them the resources for his rise.
The next moment, the Soul-Devouring Spider King's eight ghastly green legs suddenly rose, and the illusory, dark green spiders on the ground swarmed forward, tearing at the two of them in a devastating attack.
Just as Wang Qiu'er was about to make her move, Wu Xuan raised his hand to stop her.
Wang Qiu'er looked at Wu Xuan in confusion, and the next moment, a dazzling silver light shone from Wu Xuan's left palm. Under the illumination of that silver light, the spear shaft, which had revealed its form, seemed to become transparent at that moment.
The soul rings around Wu Xuan changed: red, red, red, silver! The moment the four soul rings appeared, the sharp blade of the Soul-Breaking Spear flickered with light, making it impossible to look directly at it.
"First Soul Skill, Soul Suppression!"
The spear blade pointed diagonally at the ground, sweeping an arc across the ground. The blood-red first ring suddenly shone brightly, and the next instant, terrifying mental power that made one's heart tremble burst forth from the purple crystal at the end of the spear blade.
"Bang bang bang bang~!" Like exploding fireworks, large swathes of dark green spiders could not withstand the pressure and were crushed into dark green mist.
Under this pressure, even the Soul-Devouring Spider King itself couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Don't resort to petty tricks; it only makes me despise you more, you turtle-like trash." Wu Xuan's Soul-Breaking Spear pointed directly at the Soul-Devouring Spider King. The aura Wu Xuan displayed at this moment even made Wang Qiu'er, standing to the side, turn her head in surprise.
"Roar~!" A chilling arc appeared at the corner of the Soul-Devouring Spider King's mouth, which was constantly dripping venom. Its two foremost spider legs instantly transformed under the twisting, eerie green light, becoming two enormous green-black scythes.
The Soul-Devouring Spider King's remaining six legs suddenly sprang forward, the black scythes pointing directly at Wu Xuan.
"Interesting, third soul skill, Sharp Light!"
Wu Xuan's arm trembled, and the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand hummed, like the roar of a wild beast. The next moment, the entire Soul-Breaking Spear was completely bathed in a strange dark golden light, and an aura of extreme sharpness surged forth.
Compared to his soul power, Wu Xuan was weaker than the Soul-Devouring Spider King before him, but the power unleashed by Wu Xuan's top-tier soul rings and several top-tier soul bones was far more formidable.
This was Wu Xuan's confidence.
The extreme sharpness displayed by the transformed Soul-Breaking Spear was far beyond what the two illusory spider legs of a mere evil soul beast could match.
"Clang clang clang clang!" Accompanied by the resounding clash of blades, the Soul-Devouring Spider King's green-black giant scythe forcefully blocked the transformed Soul-Breaking Spear, its terrifying soul power of 190,000 years concentrated on the scythe's blade. Even so, the Soul-Devouring Spider King's massive body was still forced to retreat by the dark golden spear blade.
"Crack! Crack!" After only a dozen or so rounds of fighting, cracks began to appear on the giant scythe formed from the Soul-Devouring Spider King's two spider legs. Moreover, these cracks were spreading rapidly.
Watching the scene unfold before her, Wang Qiu'er's pupils instantly transformed into golden vertical pupils. With a leap, her long, wavy, pinkish-blue hair billowed out, fluttering in the wind.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Terror Claw!"
The sixth, jet-black rings surrounding Wang Qiu'er suddenly shone brightly, a dark golden light emanating from her right hand. Diamond-shaped golden dragon scales instantly covered her entire left palm and left arm. As her right hand rose, the almost tangible golden dragon behind her simultaneously raised its claws.
Five terrifying blades, spanning forty or fifty meters, descended from the sky.
Where the blades passed, black fissures appeared out of thin air. It was clearly a phenomenon where space itself could not withstand the tearing. Upon closer inspection, one could also discover that the five dark golden blades were quite different from the Sky-Rending Claw; these dark golden blades now faintly bore golden dragon patterns engraved on them.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's most powerful soul skill, Sky-Tearing Claw, possesses unparalleled tearing power, while the Golden Dragon possesses shattering power. The combined power of the Golden Dragon Terrorclaw is unimaginable.
Wu Xuan sensed Wang Qiu'er the moment she ascended into the sky, but his Soul-Breaking Spear not only didn't retract its attack, but instead became even more ferocious, seemingly ready to perish together with her. The Soul-Devouring Spider King, its small, eerie green eyes catching sight of the blade's power, felt a flicker of panic. Had the world changed so much that it hadn't ventured out for so long? Would humans really sacrifice themselves for their companions?
A strange feeling arose in Wu Xuan's heart as he charged forward. The next instant, his aura automatically began to rise, and his Soul-Breaking Spear seemed to yearn to get closer to Wang Qiu'er?
In a flash of thought, even the Soul-Devouring Spider King, a demonic soul beast, couldn't help but resolve to fight the human before him, for he possessed a trump card to reverse life and death, and could disregard the attack before him. As long as the humans before him were wiped out, the sacrifice would be nothing.
Just as five terrifying blades were about to strike the two above their heads, Wu Xuan sheathed his gun, smiled slightly, and instantly switched his martial soul. A swift wind carried Wu Xuan's body, and he vanished from the spot.
The Soul-Devouring Spider King was stunned. He wanted to curse! Why run? Where did your previous fearless spirit go? With his limited experience, he never imagined that life-or-death battles could be played like this.
"Despicable~!" The Soul-Devouring Spider King roared, and the next moment, eerie green spider silk instantly shot out from its sinister mouth. The silk wrapped around the Soul-Devouring Spider King's entire body without any gaps, transforming into an eerie green cocoon.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang~!" A piercing explosion erupted from the Soul-Devouring Spider King's body, and the terrifying power even shattered the spider silk protecting its entire body into pieces.
"Crack~!" With a crisp cracking sound, a hideous crack appeared on the Soul-Devouring Spider King's hard carapace.
"It's broken through?" Wu Xuan was also momentarily shocked, not expecting Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon Terror Claw to possess such power. Wu Xuan knew the details of the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen's soul skill; it was called the Demonic Spider Origin. Don't be fooled by the thin and seemingly weak spider silk; it was formed from the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen's essence, possessing three heaven-defying effects: restoration, defense, and deadly poison.
This soul skill could not only instantly restore all the soul power previously consumed, but also corrode almost all ranged energy attacks. Finally, the surrounding poisonous mist, if inhaled carelessly, would cause the inhaler's soul power to dissipate directly, turning into a pool of blood.
This was the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen's trump card that allowed it to fight Wu Xuan so fiercely.
But unexpectedly, such a terrifying defensive and life-saving soul skill was torn apart by Wang Qiu'er's single claw.
