Subduing the Demon (Part One)
"He broke through to the Void Core Stage?" Sensing the breakthrough in Zhuge Xiang's aura, the Shadow Spider, Demon Monster- level being, was filled with astonishment. Then, it became angry and embarrassed, and a feeling of shame and indignation welled up in its heart.
By this point, how could she not see that Zhuge Xiang was using war to fuel his own war, using his countless children as whetstones, which enabled him to break through to the Void Core Stage?
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" the Shadow Spider, Demon Monster- level being, finally snapped and attacked.
In just a few days, his cultivation has improved so much. If the fight continues, who knows if he will break through to the Golden Core Stage? Or even overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and reach the Void Returning Stage? This Shadow Spider dares not gamble, after all, Zhuge Xiang, who is at the Gathering Origin Stage, has already injured her.
"Oh? You only realized my purpose now? Too bad it's too late..." Upon hearing the words of the Demon Monster -level Shadow Spider, Zhuge Xiang smiled, then opened his Bag Space, took out the True Sight Vine, and planted it directly in the ground.
The True Sight Vine is about the height of a person. It is carved from an unknown material of stone and is covered with Profound Mysteries Runes. At the very top, there is a lifelike relief of an eye.
As the True Sight Vine was planted in the ground, a soft yet incredibly resilient milky-white light poured down from its True Sight Vine like a flood.
This Demon Monster- level Shadow Spider was originally capable of creating a dark domain, blocking all light and depriving others of their sight. However, the light of the True Sight Vine could not be blocked within this dark domain. The milky white light that emanated from it quickly illuminated a large area, a radius of five hundred miles, all of which was illuminated by the light of the True Sight Vine.
"Ah, what is this light..." In the darkness, this Demon Monster Shadow Spider, perhaps not having seen light for a long time, was suddenly overwhelmed by the light of the True Sight Vine Shadow Spider.
As the light of the True Sight Vine illuminated the dark area, Zhuge Xiang finally regained his vision. Looking around, it truly resembled an Asura landscape, with the severed limbs of Shadow Spider everywhere. The ground was covered with countless Spider fluids, some of which had long since dried and turned dark in color, feeling somewhat sticky underfoot.
Zhuge Xiang also saw the appearance of the Shadow Spider, Demon Monster- level being. She was wearing a black, form-fitting armor that perfectly accentuated her slender, streamlined body. Her curvaceous figure, with its exaggerated curves, aroused a deep-seated, instinctive passion. Her pretty face had a hint of black, but her lips were a bewitching red.
A peerless beauty, this Shadow Spider, Demon Monster- level being, is almost as Demon Monster as Lu Yuling.
Lu Yuling's beauty lies in her aloofness, the East Sea God's beauty lies in her holiness, while this Shadow Spider is alluring and seductive to the extreme; every inch of her skin seems to ignite a fiery passion deep within one's heart.
"Some light cannot be blocked by you. How about it? Are you not used to it? The way you are, it seems like the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed," Zhuge Xiang asked with a smile, seeing how uncomfortable the Shadow Spider was with the light.
"I'm going to eat you..." Zhuge Xiang's provocation was clearly effective. He lowered his hands that were blocking his eyes, Shadow Spider's eyes were filled with a chilling coldness. He stretched out his palm, and his fingernails, as black as ink, even revealed terrifying Toxins.
"Hehe, you want to eat me? I remember that female Spider only eat male Spider after mating? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to me?" Zhuge Xiang, Slaying Luo Sword tightly in his hand, seemed unconcerned about the threat posed by this Demon Monster- level Shadow Spider, and continued to tease it.
"Want to mate with me? Let's see if you're qualified..." Cultivator are unconcerned with formalities, let alone Demonic Creatures; they actually took the matter of mating quite seriously.
As they spoke, the Shadow Spider made its move, still incredibly fast. Its Poison Tempering claws reached for Zhuge Xiang's face, its dark and delicate hand giving the illusion of being able to cover the sky and the sun, as if there was no way to dodge it.
Faced with the attack of the Shadow Spider, Zhuge Xiang not only did not raise his Slaying Luo Sword, but instead plunged it fiercely into the ground.
"What? What tricks does he have up his sleeve now?" Shadow Spider wondered, secretly surprised and wary as he watched Zhuge Xiang's strange behavior.
If it were at the beginning, she would have thought that Zhuge Xiang given up resistance, that the difference in their Major Realm had driven him to despair. But he had clearly gained the upper hand in the previous attack, so it was impossible for him to surrender without a fight. Therefore, he must have some other scheme.
Tricks? How could Zhuge Xiang possibly have any tricks up his sleeve? Zhuge Xiang's goal is actually very simple: the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. Zhuge Xiang wants to use the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound to deal with her.
Inside this Demon Sealing Tower, I'm completely unfamiliar with the place. If I had someone I know to guide me, finding my Imperial Uncle Li Batian would be much easier.
A deep, Distant Resonance, and profound Zen Sound emanated from Zhuge Xiang's mouth. Each note of the Zen Sound was deeply imprinted into the Shadow Spider's mind. The power of the Zen Sound stirred feelings of remorse deep within her heart.
All the evil deeds that I had thought were perfectly ordinary, at this moment, I felt a deep sense of remorse.
"What kind of ability is this? It can actually purify me? This is impossible! Even a high-ranking monk in the Void Returning Stage couldn't convert me back then..." The effect of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound made the Shadow Spider stare at Zhuge Xiang in horror.
When the Shadow Spider was suppressed by the Great Tang Imperial Family, the Great Tang Imperial Family actually wanted to over-engineer it and make good use of its assassination abilities. However, even a high-ranking monk at the Void Returning Stage could not do so. Therefore, the Shadow Spider was suppressed in the Demon Sealing Tower.
However, she never expected that something even a high-ranking monk at the Void Returning Stage couldn't do, could be accomplished by someone who was far from reaching the Void Returning Stage...
Murder and cannibalism were utterly ordinary things to the Shadow Spider, evoking no remorse whatsoever. However, under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, she began to feel remorse for these things she had previously taken for granted; in fact, these feelings grew stronger and stronger...
"No! Stop! Stop right now!" The Shadow Spider cried out in terror as it sensed the effects of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound.
For Demon Monster and Demon Cultivator, the Good Thoughts that arise are like the Heart Demon of Righteous Path Cultivator, forcibly changing their outlook on life and values, turning their inherently cruel and vicious selves into good people. Naturally, the Shadow Spider felt terrified.
"What? Have you figured it out? Are you willing to submit to me?" Hearing the Shadow Spider's shout, Zhuge Xiang Heavenly Demon Zen Sound paused slightly and asked with a smile.
"Submit to you? Do you have the ability?" In response to Zhuge Xiang's words, the Shadow Spider answered him with her actions. With incredible speed, she opened her blood-red lips and spat out thin but incredibly tough Spider silk, which transformed into a large net and covered Zhuge Xiang. As Shadow Spider of the Demon Monster level, this Spider was clearly not something that could be cut by ordinary weapons.
Hiss hiss hiss...
Regardless of whether its Spider silk could truly bind Zhuge Xiang, the Shadow Spider opened its blood-red lips, unleashing countless strands of Spider, layer upon layer, leaving Zhuge Xiang with nowhere to dodge...
Chirp!
However, Zhuge Xiang ignored the oncoming Spider silk. With a sharp cry, the Little Fire Phoenix was summoned once more, and its vibrant Phoenix Flame blazed forth...
Silk webs are ultimately afraid of Flame. Although the Shadow Spider is very powerful, the Phoenix Flame is much rarer and more formidable. The god of birds is no joke...
The golden Phoenix Flame, though weak, were not something the Spider could conceal. The dense layers of Spider were pierced through by the Phoenix Flame, creating a passage.
Zhuge Xiang's speed was outrageous; he appeared before the Shadow Spider like a ghost, stretched out his hand, and arrogantly grabbed the Shadow Spider's head with his Demonic True Body.
The Great Strength Bull Demon Technique granted Zhuge Xiang immense physical strength. The muscles on his arms bulged as Zhuge Xiang slammed the Shadow Spider to the ground, shouting in his mind: Triple Rock Collapse Technique!
Boom boom boom!
By mobilizing the power of the earth, the land seemed to have a consciousness, desperately squeezing. With Zhuge Xiang's current cultivation level, the enhancement of his equipment, and the 30% Spell power bonus from the Necklace of the Spell God, the power of Zhuge Xiang's Triple Rock Collapse Technique was also extremely strong.
"How is it? Have you submitted?" After the Triple Rock Collapse Technique, although it was impossible to kill the Shadow Spider, she looked much more disheveled. Zhuge Xiang showed no mercy and stared at the Shadow Spider as he asked.
"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!" the Shadow Spider struggled frantically, shouting fiercely. As expected of Demon Monster- level cultivator, its intense struggle gradually made Zhuge Xiang feel like he couldn't suppress it anymore.
"You're not convinced? I don't believe it!" Hearing the Shadow Spider's shout, Zhuge Xiang's brute force flared up in response to her resistance. He mobilized all his physical strength, and his arms, like iron hoops, tightly bound the Shadow Spider, rendering her unable to move. He also pressed his entire body down on her.
So what if Demon Monster? Her strongest ability is assassination; how much power can an insect-type Demonic Creatures possibly possess?
Although Zhuge Xiang is only at the Void Core Stage, his powerful equipment, the Great Strength Bull Demon Technique, the Demon Luo Scripture, the Demonic True Body, and the Night Emblem make Zhuge Xiang, in terms of pure strength, no weaker than the Shadow Spider... (To be continued...)
