Chapter 361: Chapter 288: Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, Part 2

"Be careful! This attack contains a potent venom. Don’t let it touch you."

Yu Changsheng’s expression darkened. He let out a low cry as a warning. Golden light rippled from his body, forming a golden protective shield in front of him.

With a wave of his sleeve, vivid images of Red Purgatory Dragons appeared, one after another. They broke through the obstacles and charged toward the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, detonating one by one.

"Life Destruction, Severing Dao!"

Shen Xingchen’s face was cold as he performed a finger technique. The Dragon’s Roar Sword in his hand trembled, emitting a thick, bloody light. The light surged upward and condensed into a hundred-zhang-long, blood-colored greatsword. Filled with an aura of annihilation, it hung inverted from the sky before plummeting in an instant, stabbing toward the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider.

RUMBLE!!!

As the giant sword fell, the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider raised its head. Its abdomen suddenly swelled and then contracted. It opened its cavernous maw and spat out another huge, pitch-black spiderweb, a thousand meters in diameter, which shot toward the Sky Falling Sword to envelop it.

TSSSSSS...

Streams of green mucus dripped from the web, corroding massive pits into the ground and releasing a thick black qi. Bound by the web, the giant sword could not advance. Its surface was continuously corroded, and it gradually began to show signs of disintegrating.

"Red Heaven-Splitting Claw!"

The Red Purgatory Dragon roared. The flames on its body flowed like molten lava, concentrating at its claws. A colossal claw shadow materialized in the air and tore viciously at the thousand-meter web.

However, the web was incredibly tough. The colossal claw shadow only managed to rip a few gashes in it, failing to destroy it completely.

Then, the thousand-meter web suddenly sank, contracting tightly as it descended upon Yu Changsheng and Shen Xingchen.

"Void Fire, Haoyang!"

Yu Changsheng’s brow furrowed. He closed his eyes, then snapped them open. With an upward wave of both hands, a huge, dark-red fireball condensed in the void. An astonishing fluctuation of energy began to brew, and the intense heat evaporated the moisture in the air, causing steam to rise.

"Explode!"

RUMBLE!

The fireball burst open. Scalding flames scattered through the void, darting about wildly. The figures of the Red Purgatory Dragons flickered in and out of view within them. Streams of fire condensed into long, flaming chains that coiled around the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, layer by layer.

"Li Minghan!"

Amid the chaos, Yu Changsheng let out a low roar.

Just then, a raised mound of earth only three meters from the Nascent Building Grass instantly exploded. Li Minghan’s figure shot out from within, moving like lightning as he reached for the Nascent Building Grass!

HISS!!

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider was instantly alerted. Its massive head turned toward Li Minghan, and a piercing sonic wave rippled out, rushing toward him.

BZZZZZZ!

Li Minghan’s ears instantly began to ring, and his mind went dizzy. He froze in place, staggering as drops of blood trickled from his ears, eyes, and nose.

’A Divine Soul Attack?’

Yu Changsheng’s expression hardened. He clenched his jaw tightly. Seeing the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider’s body tense as if to leap toward Li Minghan, he took a deep breath. A great rising sun materialized behind him.

"Rising Sun Dawn Fist!"

The light of the fist was brilliant, like the first rays of dawn piercing the night, instantly illuminating the world. All of it converged into a single punch, and infinite power erupted in an instant.

PFFT...

Li Minghan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale. He gasped for air, shook his head, and a ferocious glint flashed in his eyes as he continued to reach for the Nascent Building Grass.

SHING!

Enraged, the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider lowered all eight of its legs simultaneously, then bent them. They carved out eight sharp glints, slicing through the void as they slashed toward Li Minghan in an instant.

!!!

A faint sense of crisis exploded in Li Minghan’s mind. His scalp went numb, and his movements faltered subconsciously.

"Don’t be afraid!"

At the critical moment, a brilliant flash of lightning erupted, blocking the attack in front of Li Minghan. Zhang Tianwen stood atop the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger, accompanied by the Divine Might Spirit Tiger. Thunderbolts coiled around one Geng Metal Sword after another, deflecting the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider’s attacks one by one.

"Ten Thousand Thunder Celestial Prison Guide!"

"Jin Feng’s Tiger Painting!"

The Divine Might Spirit Tiger and the Thunder-controlling Spirit Tiger unleashed their power simultaneously. The thunderbolts formed a cage, completely surrounding the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider. Another vivid, brilliantly golden Divine Might Spirit Tiger appeared and charged forward with unstoppable momentum, slamming violently into the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider before instantly exploding!

RUMBLE!

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider shrieked in pain. The first two of its eight legs fractured instantly. Struggling, it continued to charge toward Li Minghan.

"Red Prison Shadow Dragon Kill!"

The body of a Red Purgatory Dragon rose and fell as it descended from mid-air. With a swing of its tail, a total of eight Red Purgatory Dragon shadows surrounded the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at it.

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider paused for a moment, then charged recklessly toward the Red Purgatory Dragon shadows. A continuous roar echoed as the shadows were shattered one by one.

But this ultimately created an obstacle for the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider. Li Minghan seized the opportunity, quickly reaching the Nascent Building Grass. With a gentle touch, he scooped it up along with the surrounding soil. Without time for a closer look, he placed it in his Storage Pouch.

HISS-ROAR!

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider roared again, its crimson eyes flickering with a bloodthirsty light. A terrifying aura erupted completely. The roar rippled out, mixed with a Divine Soul Attack that swept over everyone.

PFFT! PFFT!!

Shen Xingchen and Zhang Tianwen both spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time, their auras weakening. Their consciousness grew hazy from the impact. Only Yu Changsheng grit his teeth; thanks to his powerful Divine Sense, the blow didn’t affect him too severely, though it did cause his flushed face to pale slightly.

"God Shocking Needle!"

His Divine Sense transformed into a black, formless bolt of lightning and shot swiftly toward the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider. Yu Changsheng leaped forward. His Thousand Mountain Armor flickered, and a dazzling golden light shone once more, coalescing in his hand into a Golden Spear. He aimed for the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider’s abdomen and thrust viciously!

HISS!!!

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider cried out in pain. The spear had pierced a wrist-sized hole in its abdomen. Eerie green blood trickled out, dripping to the ground, where it released puffs of black mist that corroded the earth.

This attack successfully broke through the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider’s defense, but while it caused damage, it also completely awakened the creature’s bloodthirsty nature.

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider’s body trembled. A flash of eerie greenish-purple light sent Yu Changsheng flying. At the same time, the spider’s already massive body began to grow again, expanding continuously until it was dozens of zhang high, blotting out the sky. The pressure of a Golden Core cultivator filled the entire space.

WHOOSH...

The air was torn apart. The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider’s thick legs were like blades, ripping through the void and stirring up a great wind. A spider spear fell, hacking viciously toward Zhang Tianwen.

"Get back!"

Yu Changsheng roared. He executed several more Shadow Flashes, grabbed the still-dazed Zhang Tianwen, and barely managed to evade the attack.

BOOM!

The next moment, the spider spear slammed into the ground. The earth trembled, and a crack several hundred meters long appeared, stretching into the distance like a hideous, terrifying scar.

Zhang Tianwen snapped to his senses. Shen Xingchen shook his head, let out a deep breath to clear his mind, and stared at the crack in the ground, patting his chest with a pale face, his heart still pounding in fear.

"Humans, you brought this upon yourselves!"

A deep, muffled voice rang out. Everyone looked up to see the Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider looking down on them, its gaze savage. The voice had come from it.

"Since you dared to steal my herb, you can leave your lives here as well."

The Profound Yin Poison Soul Spider spoke in a buzzing voice. As its words fell, its abdomen pulsed, and it once again spat out a gigantic, pitch-black web that descended upon the group.

The web shimmered with an eerie, jade-green light, blotting out the sky. An endless pressure surged in from all directions like a tidal wave, bearing down on them.

’We’re done for...’

Li Minghan froze, completely unable to move. Under the immense pressure, his bones began to make cracking sounds.

Zhang Tianwen pressed his lips together tightly, a drop of cold sweat trickling down his forehead. With a bitter smile, he struggled to turn his head and look at the others.

’So, trying to kill a Tier Three Middle Stage Spirit Beast really was too reckless...’
