Man Faced Demon Spider

At this moment, Ice Empress in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness also keenly sensed the unique aura of the Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.

"Although my true form, the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor, is among the finest Ultimate Attributes, its bloodline purity and power still cannot compare to this Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul."

"This Martial Soul is truly unfathomable."

Ice Empress frowned slightly, her eyes filled with curiosity as she tried to find some trace related to it within her long memories. Yet in the end, her efforts were futile.

No matter how carefully Ice Empress observed it, she could not find any Soul Beast that had ever appeared on Douluo Continent that resembled the Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul.

"Indeed. This Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon feels far too unfamiliar. And the aura it gives off would surely rank among the very best even within the Dragon Clan."

Tian Meng hurriedly echoed her words, his tone likewise filled with amazement and curiosity.

Huo Yuhao quietly listened to Ice Empress and Tian Meng's conversation, his heart deeply shaken.

He clearly realized that whether it was his Spirit Eye, which he had always been proud of, or the Martial Soul fused with the Ice Jade Scorpion Emperor's bloodline, both seemed to lose their luster before the Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul, becoming tiny and insignificant.

He stared intently at the Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul shimmering with strange light, unconsciously rubbing his chin with his right hand.

He fell completely into deep thought.

Starry Sky Auction House.

Jiang Li thought about how he had been transported to Douluo Continent for some time now, yet had never truly taken a good look at this wondrous world.

Besides, his strength had improved considerably during this time. It was time to put it to the test.

Star Dou Great Forest, that habitat of Soul Beasts filled with mystery and danger, was undoubtedly the best training ground.

Lei Yao and Ling Yun were far too much stronger than him. Sparring with them simply could not accurately test his true combat strength.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Li released the Advanced Puppet he had previously obtained from the System Lottery.

Jiang Li gave the Puppet a series of detailed orders, telling it to guard the Starry Sky Auction House while they were away.

With the Advanced Puppet's strength at approximately that of a rank ninety-seven Titled Douluo, guarding a Starry Sky Auction House was more than enough.

Moreover, the Starry Sky Auction House's foundation had likely already become widely known. Those Soul Masters harboring ill intentions probably would not dare come and cause trouble.

Once everything had been arranged, Jiang Li set out for Star Dou Great Forest with Lei Yao and Ling Yun.

Lei Yao used his flight ability at full power, and before long, they successfully arrived at the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest.

The moment Jiang Li stepped into Star Dou Great Forest, a heavy, oppressive aura rushed toward him, like an invisible hand tightly pressing against his chest.

"As expected of Star Dou Great Forest. Even its outskirts carry such a powerful sense of oppression. No wonder the Star Dou Great Forest Core Region is regarded as a forbidden land for Human Soul Masters."

Jiang Li murmured softly.

"By the way, when we encounter Soul Beasts below ten thousand years, don't make a move first. Let me test my current strength."

As they gradually ventured deeper into Star Dou Great Forest, Jiang Li quickly turned around and seriously reminded Lei Yao and Ling Yun.

He knew well that with Lei Yao and Ling Yun's Limit Douluo-level strength and powerful Mental Power, those weak Soul Beasts would likely be effortlessly killed by the two of them before they could even get close.

If that happened, he would not be able to truly test his own abilities.

"Understood, Pavilion Master."

The moment Jiang Li finished speaking, Lei Yao and Ling Yun both nodded slightly and answered softly.

Though they agreed easily enough, a hint of vigilance showed in their eyes.

Their gazes constantly swept over their surroundings, and neither of them dared relax in the slightest, afraid that any danger might threaten Jiang Li's safety.

"Hmm?"

Not long after, the sharp-eyed Lei Yao narrowed his eyes. As though he had spotted prey, he stared fixedly toward a corner in the southeast.

Then, he softly warned, "Pavilion Master, there is a Man Faced Demon Spider around six thousand years old approaching from the southeast."

Upon hearing the warning, Jiang Li's previously calm gaze instantly turned as sharp as an eagle's, as if a cold gleam had flashed through it.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

He slowly spread open his right hand, and in an instant, a dazzling Nine-Colored Divine Lotus slowly bloomed in his palm.

Nine types of ultimate power entwined and interwove, releasing a powerful yet mysterious aura.

At the same time, the three Soul Rings around Jiang Li's body gradually began to shine.

Purple, purple, black.

Unlike an ordinary person's Soul Ring configuration, this unique combination of Soul Rings released an aura that belonged solely to him—powerful and dangerous.

Jiang Li planted his feet firmly on the ground, every muscle in his body taut as he waited vigilantly for the Man Faced Demon Spider's attack.

At this moment, Lei Yao and Ling Yun understood each other without words. They swiftly and tacitly withdrew from the area, leaving Jiang Li ample space to fight.

"It's here!"

Just then, Jiang Li heard faint yet strange sounds coming from the grass ahead.

The next moment, a purple flash shot out from the grass like lightning, moving at incredible speed.

Jiang Li's expression instantly hardened.

He reacted quickly, his body retreating like an agile leopard. His movements were clean and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Li closed his eyes and focused. His powerful Mental Power spread outward like an invisible net, taking in everything around him.

To his surprise, he discovered that the spot where he had just stood had somehow become covered in a dense web.

The webs were also coated in terrifying purple venom, which continuously corroded the ground with hissing sounds.

As the poisonous mist dispersed, Jiang Li clearly saw the Man Faced Demon Spider. Its entire body was an eerie shade of purple.

Each of its spider legs was covered in sharp barbs, with revolting venom flowing over them. Under the sunlight, they glimmered with a cold light.

Seeing this, Jiang Li slowly raised his right hand as a powerful force of Ultimate Ice surged from his Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a crystalline ice-blue longsword.

The longsword exuded bone-piercing cold, freezing the surrounding air into a thin layer of frost.

Whoosh!

Jiang Li fiercely thrust the longsword in his hand toward the Man Faced Demon Spider, his movement swift and forceful.

His body streaked through the air like a black bolt of lightning, leaving behind an afterimage.

Everything the longsword passed through was instantly frozen into shards of ice by the powerful Ice Power, which scattered across the ground.

The Nine Luminaries Divine Lotus Martial Soul possessed a unique and powerful trait.

When it absorbed Soul Rings with specific Ultimate Attributes, it would activate the corresponding Ultimate Attribute power within the Martial Soul.

This meant that even without using Soul Skills, he could still fight with the Ultimate Attribute powers already activated within his Martial Soul.

Although the might of such attacks was not as great as that of Soul Skills, it was absolutely not to be underestimated.

Thus, Jiang Li and the Man Faced Demon Spider began an intense battle.

Relying on its agile speed and lethal venom, the Man Faced Demon Spider continuously launched attacks at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, meanwhile, relied on his powerful Martial Soul and nimble footwork to cleverly evade the Man Faced Demon Spider's attacks while searching for chances to counterattack.

Several minutes passed, and the entire battlefield had become a complete mess, littered everywhere with ice fragments.

The Man Faced Demon Spider's body was also covered in a great deal of freezing power, like a sculpture sealed in ice and snow.

However, the Man Faced Demon Spider did not give up. It let out an enraged hiss, as though declaring its defiance to Jiang Li.

Hiss!

The Man Faced Demon Spider looked at Jiang Li, the Human Soul Master, with eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.

Its body trembled slightly as venom continuously sprayed from it, corroding the surrounding vegetation and releasing a pungent odor.

The Man Faced Demon Spider condensed its Soul Power in its legs and directly sprayed an endless cloud of poisonous mist forward.

The poisonous mist surged toward Jiang Li like a raging black tide.

Everything in its path was corroded away.

Seeing this, Jiang Li was secretly alarmed. He understood that this battle could not be dragged out any longer.

With a thought, the second Soul Ring around his body released a dazzling purple radiance.
