Chapter 335 Martial Soul Resonance.
"Qiu'er, step back! This is deadly poison!" Wu Xuan shouted as he watched Wang Qiu'er slowly land.
Wang Qiu'er glanced at the poisonous mist but didn't pay much attention. A brilliant golden light instantly shone around her, and fine golden dragon scales almost covered her entire body except for her face.
This was her reliance—the dragon scales bestowed upon her by the Golden Dragon bloodline, granting her near-immunity to all external erosion.
But the next instant, Wang Qiu'er's expression changed drastically upon landing. The moment she touched the eerie green poisonous mist, the brilliant golden dragon scales around her quickly dimmed.
She had been poisoned? Wang Qiu'er staggered and almost fell.
Seeing this, Wu Xuan felt a headache coming on. He had already told her there was danger, and she still insisted on trying? What kind of logic was that?
He sheathed his gun and raised his hand! The fifth ring of the Wind Element suddenly lit up—Heaven-Splitting Wind!
A gale gathered around Wu Xuan, and in the next instant, it swept over the Soul-Devouring Poisonous Mist like a tidal wave. With a crisp snap of Wu Xuan's fingers, the hurricane transformed into a sea of emerald fire, dissolving the Soul-Devouring Poison Mist.
Then, Wu Xuan multitasked, grabbing Wang Qiu'er's hand and activating his first Soul Skill, Gathering Spirit Wind. A cool breeze began to flow into Wang Qiu'er's body, clearing away the Soul-Devouring Poison Mist.
"Hmm?" Wu Xuan was startled, quickly interrupting the wind's transmission. However, the instant he withdrew the wind, suddenly, a strong suction force seemed to arise within his body. Immediately afterward, a golden soul power filled with an aura of arrogance rapidly surged into his body.
A blinding golden light erupted simultaneously from both Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er in the next instant.
"What is this?" Wu Xuan looked at his hands in disbelief. Could this be the legendary Martial Soul Resonance? Him and Wang Qiu'er?
On the other side, the Soul-Devouring Spider King, wrapped in spider silk, burst out of its shell, letting out a fierce roar. The spiderweb-like demonic pattern on its forehead instantly shone brightly, and wisps of purple and green energy rapidly coursed across its body. A blinding, eerie light gathered from its small eyes, and in the next instant, a surging, eerie light roared out, forcing the surrounding azure flames to weaken considerably.
Taking advantage of this opening, the Soul-Devouring Spider King suddenly darted out of the azure flames' encirclement.
"Screech!" The Soul-Devouring Spider King sprinted forward, an emerald-like aura spreading across its entire body. Accompanied by the swing of its two scythes, eight crescent-shaped, eerie green light blades flashed out instantly, targeting Wu Xuan and his companion. Moreover, the attack positions were extremely tricky. Apart from the three crescent-shaped light blades facing directly, the other five light blades all cut into empty space, blocking all possible escape routes for the two.
"Seeking death!" Wu Xuan coldly shouted, and the hurricane that had been continuously transforming into azure flames abruptly stopped. As Wu Xuan lightly clasped his hands together, a pale blue forest of lightning appeared in his palms.
Wu Xuan clenched his fist, and a soaring azure lightning erupted from his palm, the lightning raging like roaring dragons.
The lightning crashed down on the eight incoming moon blades, and in the blink of an eye, the annihilating lightning completely engulfed them, triggering a series of violent explosions.
However, the Soul-Devouring Spider King's attack was not over. The Soul-Devouring Spider King, braving the lightning's bombardment, forcefully approached Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er.
Wang Qiu'er was now fully conscious, her eyes fixed on Wu Xuan. Although Wu Xuan had only cleansed her for a few seconds, the amount of Soul-Devouring Toxin that had invaded Wang Qiu'er's body was already small. Reaching out, Wang Qiu'er grasped Wu Xuan's hand as he tried to retreat.
Holding hands again, a light, ethereal feeling surged through them like a tide. This time, they weren't fusing soul power, but rather the spiritual power attached to their respective soul powers.
The two were only dazed for two or three seconds. The next instant, a layer of golden dragon scales began to appear on Wu Xuan's arm. In this state, Wu Xuan felt his strength increasing exponentially at an astonishing speed. Even his mental power was increasing at the same rate.
But this was not the time to think about such things. Wu Xuan forcefully broke free from Wang Qiu'er's grip on his hand and charged back towards the Soul-Devouring Spider King. Passive defense was not his style.
A dazzling silver light flashed in Wu Xuan's eyes, and his left arm instantly turned into a transparent crystal color. Then, a burst of intense silver light quickly converged towards Wu Xuan's left hand, and countless diamond particles shimmering with silver light covered Wu Xuan's palm.
The silver fist slammed down. At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Spider King's true strength was revealed. He roared fiercely, his six spider spears powerfully plunging into the ground, and with a sudden swing of his arms, his two scythes were already in front of him.
"Boom!" In just an instant, the two giant scythes exploded simultaneously.
How could the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen's twin scythes withstand the dual burst of Wu Xuan's spiritual and soul power?
"Got you! Soul-Devouring Domain!" With a deep roar, the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen unleashed a powerful, eerie green energy that enveloped Wu Xuan.
Feeling the air around him instantly thicken, Wu Xuan's Golden Scale Griffin right leg soul bone stirred restlessly.
Wu Xuan knew a little about the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen's innate domain; it had three main effects. First, it increased all of the user's attributes by 10%, while reducing the enemy's attributes by 20%. Second, within the domain, no stealth or teleportation skills could be used. Third, it provided spiritual deterrence, increasing the user's spiritual power by 20% while weakening the opponent's by 20%.
With so many restrictions, it was undeniable that the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen lived up to its reputation as a super soul beast of the spider race.
"Die!" the Soul-Devouring Spider Queen roared, and with a leap, the eerie green light instantly transformed into a vibrant emerald green. Two emerald-like giant scythes rose simultaneously, a point of green light instantly spreading downwards, illuminating the blades. They slashed diagonally, creating a massive forked wave that hurtled towards Wu Xuan.
This was the Abyss Slash of Spatial Tear! A talent soul skill that the Soul-Devouring Spider King could only comprehend after breaking through ten thousand years.
"Naive, third soul skill, Mountain-Supporting Universe Break!"
The Soul-Breaking Spear, its third ring gleaming crimson, instantly expanded. The terrifying dark golden energy fluctuations even caused dozens of twisted dark golden rays to swirl around the spear.
The dark golden blade slowly rose, and in that instant, it carved a deep, ferocious crack within the Soul-Devouring Domain.
The spear trembled, and the dark golden light swirling around the Soul-Breaking Spear became even more dazzling.
Wu Xuan's attack unleashed not only the Soul-Breaking Spear's third soul skill, but also its Annihilation Domain.
The nemesis of all domain soul skills!
The spear thrust forward, its extremely sharp blade slamming into the forked light blade swung by the Soul-Devouring Spider King.
"Boom!" An unparalleled energy storm surged back, and the Soul-Devouring Spider King suddenly spat out a mouthful of ghastly green blood. The next instant, in the Soul-Devouring Spider King's incredulous gaze, his Soul-Devouring Domain shattered into countless fragments like a mirror.
