This Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider was different from the two that had attacked the Hook Chen Great Formation and Lin Xuantong before; its size was not large, possessing only the cultivation level of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
“Bad news, this is the nest of those two Ghost-faced Spiders!”
Liu Yiyi suddenly came to her senses.
The two Divine King Realm Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders that were killed separately by Lu Changsheng and Lin Xuantong were very likely a Great Accomplishment male spider and a Great Accomplishment female spider, and these smaller Ghost-faced Spiders were their offspring.
The forest rustled as over a dozen Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders crawled out, their terrifying eyes staring at the few hundred Jade Pool disciples who had entered the Ghost-faced Spider’s lair.
Each Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider’s cultivation was not on par with Liu Yiyi’s, but the threat of a dozen or so Immortal Emperor Realm Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders was immense.
The Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider sprayed out spider silk, which with its demonic power sealed the space, rendering the Jade Pool disciples unable to use Spatial Talismans to escape.
Then, these Ghost-faced Spiders swiftly moved along the silk, their forms agile, dazzling to the eye.
“Ah!!! My arm!”
Another Jade Pool disciple was hit by the venom of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider, instantly losing an arm.
Even high-level experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm could not regenerate their arms in a short time against the fierce poison of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider; only by expelling the venom from the body could they recover to their original state.
“Eight Sceneries Merging Qi!”
Liu Yiyi used the Jade Pool’s Sword Qi to cut through the spider silk, finally striking one of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders.
The Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider was cut into two, with venom splashing everywhere.
However, quickly, the body of this Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider pieced itself back together, becoming even more ferocious, with the venom sprayed out forming a large net attempting to envelop Liu Yiyi.
The vitality of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider was incredibly tenacious. Lu Changsheng had easily killed a Great Accomplishment Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider by leveraging the Hook Chen Great Formation, and although the Ghost-faced Spider Liu Yiyi was facing had not yet reached Great Accomplishment, it was only one realm lower than Liu Yiyi. It would not be easy for Liu Yiyi to kill this Ghost-faced Spider.
On both left and right, three Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders spat out silk, forming a trap like a net of heaven and earth.
The spider silk of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider acted as their own barrier, and the movement of the Jade Pool disciples within it was restricted.
The dozen or so young Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders began hunting the Jade Pool disciples who had entered, and in a short time, several dozen disciples had already been killed by the Ghost-faced Spiders.
Facing the siege of numerous Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders, Liu Yiyi couldn’t help but feel anxious.
This was the lair of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders, equivalent to young Ghost-faced Spiders of the Human Race Immortal Emperor Realm; there were a dozen of them, and she was being attacked by seven Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders, leaving her with no ability to clone herself.
“Mysterious Lady Skills!”
Liu Yiyi operated the inner cultivation technique of Jade Pool to its full strength, and her sword radiated a clear brilliance that swept all around. All the spider silks, and the few Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders attached to them, were severed by the Sword Qi!
The weaker three Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders were directly torn to fragments by the Sword Qi, dead beyond doubt.
Liu Yiyi is the disciple that the Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool currently values the most, with her parents hailing from Feng Clan and Liu Clan, the strongest clans in the Jade Pool Holy Land; she also possesses frighteningly strong talents.
However, simultaneously killing three Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders and cutting all the silk cost Liu Yiyi a large amount of True Qi.
One of the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders facing Liu Yiyi head-on had a trace of cunning in its eyes.
Not good.
Just as Liu Yiyi sensed that something was wrong, suddenly, the ground collapsed, and a Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider burst out from the earth, its venomous bristles striking Liu Yiyi!
Liu Yiyi hurriedly distanced herself, and on her fair arm, there was now a bloodstain, with the blood already turning purple, indicating the venom spreading along the pale blue veins towards the inside of her body.
Liu Yiyi immediately sealed the acupoints to prevent the intense toxin from spreading throughout her body.
The spreading of the poison slowed down.
But as a result, Liu Yiyi could not use all her True Qi to fight against the remaining Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders.
“These beasts, they actually ambushed our Holy Maiden!”
“Damn it, I will kill them!”
The Jade Pool disciples saw Liu Yiyi being ambushed and poisoned by the Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spider, and they couldn’t help but burn with rage.
Liu Yiyi was very popular among the Jade Pool disciples, and the Ghost-faced Spiders dared to harm their Holy Maiden of the Jade Pool.
However, the situation was dire. The Jade Pool disciples were no match for the remaining Five-Colored Ghost-faced Spiders, and more Jade Pool disciples were swallowed by the spiders.
Several Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders pounced towards the injured Liu Yiyi, aiming to take down the most troublesome disciple of Jade Pool, Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi bit her thin lip, ready to fight to the death with the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders, when a towering figure stood in front of her.
Yuan Tu, the ancient demon weapon, brought its fierce sword energy to slash the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider in front of it into dozens of pieces!
Dugu Aotian’s moves were swift and ferocious, each strike lethal, without any half-heartedness.
Dugu Aotian was the only disciple under Lu Changsheng who primarily cultivated the Demon Sects’ cultivation technique, which emphasizes efficiency—to kill the opponent in the fastest, most straightforward manner possible.
In front of the fearsome ancient demon weapon, the true Demon Race form of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider was as easy to cut as tofu.
The other Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders stopped their attack and retreated uneasily, sensing the terrifying Demonic Qi of Dugu Aotian.
Embodied with the Demonic Ancestor Body, the highest Demon Body, the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider’s bloodline still carried the fear of the Demonic Ancestor Body.
In Ancient Times, a cataclysmic war broke out between the Human Race and the Demon Race; the Demon Lord killed countless Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders, and the fear of the Demonic Ancestor Body was deeply ingrained into the bloodline of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders, passed down from generation to generation.
“Still want to run?”
The Demonic Qi within Dugu Aotian erupted, enveloping all the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders; within Dugu Aotian’s barrier, the Demon Lord descended, with overwhelming Demonic Qi.
The Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders trembled.
Even Jade Pool’s disciples turned pale with shock.
They had not expected someone to cultivate Demonic Cultivation Skills and use them to combat these Ancient Demon Worms.
Seeing Liu Yiyi injured, Dugu Aotian felt an inexplicable surge of rage for reasons unknown.
He was determined to kill all the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders before him.
The Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders tried to burrow into the ground to escape, but against Dugu Aotian, who showed signs of demonic possession, their struggles were in vain.
Dugu Aotian extended his hand and formed a Demon Hand from the towering Demonic Qi, grasping one of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders and squeezing — the spider exploded instantly!
Terrifying.
The disciples of Jade Pool looked at each other; this disciple from Lu Changsheng was truly ruthless.
Dugu Aotian, usually silent and unassuming, quietly cultivated without drawing attention, so as not to be noticed as the son of the Demon Marshal.
But Liu Yiyi’s injury infuriated Dugu Aotian, so when he took action, he held back no longer.
Another Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider was crushed by Dugu Aotian, while the rest were eradicated by his Magical Treasure — the ancient demon weapon Yuan Tu, annihilated in body and spirit.
The entire lair of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders, all the spiders, were executed.
“Are you alright?”
Dugu Aotian took out a Detoxification Pill, a reward from his mentor Lu Changsheng, and personally applied the medicine to Liu Yiyi.
“I’m lucky you were here.”
Liu Yiyi felt a warmth in her heart.
Although Dugu Aotian cultivated the Demonic Cultivation Skills most despised by Jade Pool Holy Land, he used those skills to protect her, which touched her profoundly.
Dugu Aotian didn’t say much, silently operating his cultivation technique to help Liu Yiyi detoxify.
“This disciple, truly wastes heavenly gifts.”
Lu Changsheng passed by, saw that the lair of the Ghost-Faced Spiders was wiped clean with no materials left to collect, and shook his head.
He was still gathering various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures deep in the Valley of Doom.
If it weren’t for Mysterious Lady Palace leading the team to encircle and suppress the Valley of Doom, with Lu Changsheng’s cultivation level, it would be impossible for him to enter the deepest part of the Valley of Doom.
Not to mention the terrifyingly powerful Devouring Demon Worm, even two fully matured Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders and their dozen offspring would be enough to overwhelm Lu Changsheng.
Since he had the opportunity to enter deep into the Valley of Doom, Lu Changsheng planned to thoroughly plunder the treasures here.
Not just the venom and materials from Ancient Demon Worms, but deep within the Valley of Doom, many strange and exotic plants grew — all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used for Body Tempering, pill refinement, and detoxification.
Wherever Lu Changsheng passed, he collected various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures without exception.
