The External Soul Bone obtained from the Man Faced Demon Spider was ultimately named the Eight Spider Lances! Since its eight spider legs looked like eight spears when swung, it was given that name.
After returning home, Dugu Yan tested it and discovered that this External Soul Bone possessed immense piercing power while also inheriting the Man Faced Demon Spider's venom. Its poison was so potent that a casual stab into a tree caused the entire tree to melt away like ice and snow, silently turning into purple dust.
And that was not all.
This External Soul Bone also possessed the ability to devour. It could not only devour and absorb an opponent's energy and life force, but also consume poison—even the toxins within its owner's own body.
