Chapter 383: The Fall of the Spider Emperor
Chapter 383: The Fall of the Spider Emperor
To kill one of the top ten Yaohuang in the Thousand Demon Cave...
Shen Yi knew better than anyone the immense risk that came with such a task.
However, he was also acutely aware that his current identity as a lion demon had reached its limit within the cave.
If he wanted to gain anything further, he would have to exchange it for the lives of human cultivators—a necessary step he couldn't avoid.
He had only pretended to be a demon, never intending to truly become one.
Now, he needed an even higher status.
Even if things went awry and he had to abandon this identity, he still had the option of using the Youwei Yaohuang's body, and having killed one of the top ten Yaohuang, he would still come out ahead.
A scarlet, inky substance caught the attention of Lingxi and the Xuanming Spider Emperor.
Then, it silently landed on the Spider Emperor.
In an instant, its flesh and blood began to sizzle and bubble, as if a hot branding iron had been pressed against it, leaving behind a scarlet stain.
"Ah!! Kill the one who set up the formation! Kill him!"
The Xuanming Spider Emperor howled in agony, curling into a ball and rolling on the ground.
Witnessing this horrifying scene, Lingxi froze for a moment. From her perspective, the person who set up the formation seemed to resemble the lion.
She suddenly recalled what her junior disciple brother had said earlier.
This lion had immense ambition and seemed to have a habit of using human cultivators to slaughter its own kind.
No matter! Killing it was still the right choice! Lingxi suddenly realized that her previous hesitation had led to the demise of her junior disciple brother and sister.
She wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
"Imprint of Cloud Surfing and Sea Galloping!"
Lingxi the True Immortal clasped her hands together, summoning the shimmering imprint once more, and slammed it towards the Spider Emperor!
As the Spider Emperor tried to dodge, a streak of black ink swept towards it, binding it firmly in place.
The imprint penetrated the Spider Emperor's body, stirring up scorching demon blood before exploding within it!
On the other side, scarlet ink poured forth.
The Xuanming Spider Emperor tumbled on the ground twice, its massive body easily stirring up a hundred-zhang-high wave of thunderous plasma.
"..."
Lingxi the True Immortal quickly dodged.
However, the Spider Emperor, despite its severe injuries, seized the opportunity to spray forth a torrent of dark silk, entangling her body.
Ziiiiip—
As the thunderous plasma engulfed Lingxi, the Xuanming Spider Emperor trembled all over, wrapping its wounds in spider silk, and turned to look at Shen Yi: "It's you..."
It wasn't stupid.
The seamless coordination with Lingxi indicated that Shen Yi was present at the scene.
"You're doomed... You're finished..."
The Xuanming Spider Emperor staggered to its feet, its ambition to use human cultivators to get rid of its own kind was ruthless and audacious.
It had to get out of here alive.
The scarlet, inky substance continued to press against it.
The Xuanming Spider Emperor wrapped itself in silk, forcibly resisting it, its entire focus on breaking the formation.
It had seen the Iron Painting Silver Hook formation before.
While it might not be able to memorize the entire formation, given enough time, escaping the trap wouldn't be difficult.
"Although I don't know how you learned this grand formation, you should remember that with each move you make now..."
The Xuanming Spider Emperor grit its teeth against the excruciating pain, its voice trembling with boundless hatred: "...I, the Spider Emperor, will return it to you in full. I will ensure that you never attain transcendence in this lifetime!"
"..."
Shen Yi waved his hand indifferently, sending forth two more streaks of scarlet ink.
From the moment the formation was activated, only a few hundred breaths had passed, yet the Spider Emperor was already severely wounded and on the brink of death.
The Iron Painting Silver Hook formation truly lived up to its reputation as a Void Returning Formation.
If it were also a Forbidden Formation, perhaps no one would be able to survive within its confines, not even those at the Void Shattering realm.
However, the extent of the spider's knowledge had somewhat exceeded Shen Yi's expectations.
He lowered his gaze towards the thunderous plasma, deep in thought for a moment.
Suddenly, sharp sounds reverberated through the air once more.
"Ah!! Ah!!!"
A figure, enveloped in a radiant light, leaped out of the plasma, foregoing any incantations and instead lunging towards the Spider Emperor, grasping the tuft of fur on its head.
She seemed determined to bury herself in the attack.
"You motherfu...!"
The Xuanming Spider Emperor stared in disbelief as the escape route it had carefully probed was ruined. In a fit of rage, several of its spider legs retracted and impaled Lingxi, lifting her into the air.
With a sharp tear, it ripped apart her body, revealing her internal organs.
Then, with a mighty swing, it flung the remaining half of her body into the thunderous plasma.
Splash!
Lingxi floundered in the plasma, her eyes bloodshot, desperate to fight back.
She now had only one thought in mind.
To prove that she was not useless.
Boom! Rumble!
The Spider Emperor lunged forward, its mind frantically searching for a way to escape the Iron Painting Silver Hook formation.
In the face of death, a glimmer of hope emerged.
It spotted something and its entire body lunged toward it.
"Huh?"
Shen Yi's eyes narrowed, his gaze deepening.
Watching the massive demon emperor hanging by a thread, he vanished from his original spot.
Boom!
A muscular figure appeared, with towering muscles and robust arms blocking the Spider Emperor's path.
Beneath the mane, golden eyes shone with murderous intent.
"Get back for this king!"
Within Shen Yi, the nine demons roared in unison, unleashing their mighty demon power.
Finally, the Xuanming Spider Emperor was pushed back several yards.
At the same time, the scarlet ink in the air converged to form the character "kill," once again aiming for the Spider Emperor's back.
"How dare you come in here?"
As if expecting something, the Xuanming Spider Emperor's eyes, now mostly destroyed, widened with madness: "If this king dies, how dare you live?!"
Several spider legs lashed out again.
Shen Yi watched helplessly as they pierced his heart and abdomen, but he still held onto the Spider Emperor's arm.
At the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was forcibly killing a perfect demon emperor at the same stage.
This was his only chance.
The blood-red character "kill" imprinted itself onto the Spider Emperor's body, almost crushing it.
Without hesitation, Shen Yi reached into the Spider Emperor's body, forcibly yanked out its demon core, and stuffed it into his mouth without even wiping off the spider blood.
Beneath his seemingly ferocious wounds, not even a single hair was damaged.
However, the demon robe was aggressively absorbing Shen Yi's foundation, leaving him hollowed out in an instant.
Only when the demon core slid down his throat and the robust demon power began to replenish did his condition improve.
Boom! Rumble!
Lingxi watched in shock as the Spider Emperor's body collapsed.
Her eyes widened as she struggled to climb out of the clear thunder pool. She took out a white jade longsword from her storage bag and tightly gripped it in her palm.
Then, she squirmed her way toward the Spider Emperor's remains.
She was so close to success! All she had to do was kill that lion!
"Die!"
She let out a shrill cry, and beneath the Spider Emperor's corpse, she saw a handsome face filled with disbelief.
His black hair was stained with blood, fluttering slightly.
Clear eyes held a hint of fatigue.
Bang!
Shen Yi slapped Lingxi's head into the ground, threw away the sword in her hand, and lay back down, panting heavily. He softly said, "Now get lost."
Lingxi pulled her head out of the ground, and when she looked again, the handsome youth was gone, replaced by the ferocious Lion Emperor.
"Uh..."
She shook her head in a daze, thinking that the words she had heard earlier were just her imagination.
Yes, yes... It's time to leave.
She looked at the Lion Emperor's face again but couldn't reconcile it with the handsome face she had seen earlier.
"..."
Shen Yi sighed, grabbed her body, and flung her away!
Such stupidity, and yet she had achieved such a high level of cultivation.
After doing all this and digesting the demon core, Shen Yi finally had the energy to use the Nanyang Transformation Technique to heal his wounds.
He changed the impalement wounds made by the spider legs into spirit seal and sword wounds.
Then, he found a comfortable position, tilted his head, and pretended to be dead.
