The Bloodline Power burned fiercely. A terrifying Shatter force burst from around Yao Xuan's right claw, which shot mercilessly toward the human face on the Man Faced Demon Spider's lower abdomen!
At that moment, the Man Faced Demon Spider also sensed a terrifying danger approaching, and its body began trembling uncontrollably!
However, hindered by Intimidation, the Man Faced Demon Spider had little room to dodge. It could only throw itself to the side with all its strength, protecting its vital areas!
The next moment.
Clang!
Accompanied by a deafening boom, Yao Xuan's Golden Dragon Claw collided violently with the black shell on the Man Faced Demon Spider's chest!
That was already the Man Faced Demon Spider's hardest area.
But against Yao Xuan, who had activated Golden Dragon Body and unleashed Golden Dragon Claw: Shatter, it was barely any tougher than an eggshell!
Crack! Crack!
With a series of crisp snapping sounds, vicious cracks instantly spread across the Man Faced Demon Spider's hardest chest shell. Then it burst apart like a scattering shower of flowers!
At that moment, streams of blue-purple blood flowed from the hideous wound, running down the Man Faced Demon Spider's body and onto the ground!
In an instant, wisps of strange smoke rose from the ground!
Within a few breaths, the area within dozens of meters of the Man Faced Demon Spider had become a dead zone!
The grass, the trees, and even the small animals living there melted within seconds, turning into thick liquid. Nothing could have been more dead!
"What terrifying poison. No wonder it earned the title of Nightmare! It's a shame for it that it ran into me today—the Emperor Auspicious Beast!"
Looking at the horrifying scene around the Man Faced Demon Spider, Yao Xuan couldn't help but remark.
At the same time, although the Man Faced Demon Spider hadn't died from such a terrible injury, it had already lost most of its fighting strength.
Its earlier arrogance gone, the Man Faced Demon Spider could only frantically release rings of purple poison around itself, trying to use them to keep Yao Xuan at bay.
"Poison? Too bad it won't work on me!"
Yao Xuan gave a cold laugh as he looked at the poison surrounding the Man Faced Demon Spider.
With the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Yao Xuan already had exceptionally strong resistance to poison.
And while in the Golden Dragon Body state, his resistance to poison and other abnormal effects grew even stronger!
Even though the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison could easily kill a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it was completely ineffective against Yao Xuan!
"Go on and die. It's your honor to become nourishment for my evolution!"
Looking at the badly wounded Man Faced Demon Spider, unable to fight back, Yao Xuan mercilessly swept a claw toward its weak point!
Thump!
With a muffled impact, Yao Xuan smashed the Man Faced Demon Spider's most vulnerable human face, along with the compound eyes around it!
Now, no matter how strong the Man Faced Demon Spider's vitality was, it couldn't survive!
Its eight razor-sharp legs twitched wildly a few times before finally going limp. Its massive, round body crashed heavily to the ground!
"Devour it!"
Looking at the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse in the distance, Yao Xuan wore a victorious smile. With a thought, he activated Devour Evolution!
A streak of dark red light swept over the Man Faced Demon Spider's enormous corpse, and it abruptly vanished!
At the same time, a tremendous surge of cultivation poured into Yao Xuan's body.
"Fantastic!"
Feeling the cultivation pouring into him, Yao Xuan smiled excitedly and frantically refined it!
As he refined it, the Bloodline Power within his body surged. His body grew stronger, his scales tougher, and all his attributes improved!
His cultivation also naturally broke through the three-thousand-year mark, rising from 2,950 years to 3,090 years—a full increase of 140 years!
[ Ding! Congratulations on breaking through to become a Three-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. To reward you for continually surpassing yourself, the system has prepared a reward. Would you like to claim it? ]
At that moment, the system notification sounded in Yao Xuan's ears.
Although the Soul Master World generally divided Soul Beasts into Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts,
in truth, reaching three thousand years of cultivation was also a special threshold for a Soul Beast.
Generally speaking, the strength of a Thousand-Year Soul Beast corresponded to that of a Soul Elder.
Meanwhile, the fighting strength of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast corresponded to that of a Spirit King.
Between the two, a Three-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would often gain a considerable increase in strength, reaching the level of a Soul Ancestor.
For that reason, once Yao Xuan's cultivation reached three thousand years, he had crossed a minor threshold and unlocked the next stage of evolution rewards!
"Of course I'll claim it!"
Hearing the system notification, Yao Xuan smiled excitedly and immediately thought his answer.
[ Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 10 system items: Selection Treasure Chest, and a special reward: 2% Golden Dragon King Bloodline! ]
As Yao Xuan made his choice, the system notification suddenly rang in his ears.
"Fantastic! Now my Golden Dragon King Bloodline can undergo its third evolution! When that happens, my strength will soar once again!"
Hearing the system notification, Yao Xuan was incredibly excited!
Even with the Emperor Auspicious Beast Bloodline, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline was still extremely precious to Yao Xuan!
Even just 1% of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline had granted Yao Xuan a series of Bloodline Abilities, including Golden Dragon Claw, Golden Dragon Body, and Golden Dragon Tyrant Body, all of which could double his strength!
And now, the Golden Dragon King Bloodline was about to evolve again. Yao Xuan's strength was bound to skyrocket, and he would awaken a new Bloodline Ability!
Naturally, Yao Xuan was incredibly excited!
[ Ding! Would you like to fuse with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline and complete the third bloodline evolution? ]
Just then, the system's notification sounded in Yao Xuan's ears again!
"Of course I'll fuse with it!" Yao Xuan went to a small lake, sat cross-legged, and let the water cover his body as he began the Golden Dragon King Bloodline's third evolution!
As Yao Xuan made his choice, streams of golden energy, as scorching as molten lava, poured into his body like an erupting volcano!
As the energy surged into him, Yao Xuan's body seemed to catch fire!
His muscles, bones, scales, and even his hair burned fiercely, turning to ash before being reborn from the ashes!
Through this cycle of destruction and renewal, Yao Xuan's body evolved further. The features he had inherited from the Emperor Auspicious Beast gradually faded, replaced by traits unique to the dragon race!
At the same time, mysterious golden runes appeared across Yao Xuan's skin once more. They contained power of profound subtlety, resonated with the golden Bloodline Power, and frantically reshaped Yao Xuan's body.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes...
An hour!
At that moment, Yao Xuan's body had been completely reborn!
