Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Eight Spider Lances

With that single kick, the Man Faced Demon Spider finally lost all signs of life.

"Hoo, hoo. The Man Faced Demon Spider really is extremely cunning." Lin Yu finally let out a deep breath at this moment.

He knew that the Man Faced Demon Spider wouldn't die so easily—after all, Lin Yu had waited for so long, and the soul ring belonging to the Man Faced Demon Spider still hadn't appeared.

"Roar!" With the sound of a beastly roar, a pitch-black figure suddenly emerged and charged toward the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!?" Yue Guan and the others, hiding in the shadows, stared in shock at the suddenly appearing Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Only then did they understand why there were no ten-thousand-year soul beasts or several-thousand-year soul beasts here.

It wasn't because of this roughly five-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider at all, but because of this ten-thousand-year-plus Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Yue Guan and Dugu Bo were still in shock, but Ghost had already arrived at Lin Yu's side, warily watching the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—a nearly extinct soul beast, one that appears only once every few years, and whenever it does, it is hunted down and killed by all other soul beasts working together.

Legend says that the Evil God descended upon a white tiger, causing it to mutate, turning its original light attribute into a dark attribute, giving birth to black wings symbolizing corruption, and that scorpion-tail-like Evil God Hook.

Because of the extreme evil attribute left by the Evil God, it has an exceptionally domineering nature—its growth does not rely on its own cultivation, as its own training is extremely difficult.

Only by devouring the soul power of other soul beasts or human Soul Masters can it rapidly increase its strength. Additionally, its body is extremely tough.

This top-tier soul beast is capable of challenging opponents a full rank above itself—meaning, a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could even challenge a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

And if the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger cultivates to its peak, it has a high chance of becoming an Evil God.

Facing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger alone, Ghost didn't dare act rashly. Yue Guan and Dugu Bo finally snapped out of it, came to Lin Yu's side, and stood on high alert against the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Seeing Yue Guan and Dugu Bo suddenly appear, even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger didn't dare make a reckless move.

If it were just Ghost alone, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wouldn't fear him at all, but now with two more Titled Douluo added, this was not something the current Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could handle.

So, after weighing the options, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger decided to retreat.

Giving a regretful glance at the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger turned and vanished from before their eyes.

"I didn't expect the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to appear again." Yue Guan's expression was grave as he stared at the spot where the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had disappeared.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which raises its cultivation by devouring human Soul Masters and soul beasts, would be attacked by both Soul Masters and soul beasts the moment it was discovered.

But the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was far too powerful, so Yue Guan and the others didn't make a move.

"Xiao Yu, absorb the Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring as quickly as possible. We need to leave the Star Dou Forest soon.

Old Poison, go find a suitable soul beast for Dugu Yan." Yue Guan glanced at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo didn't waste any words and immediately left to find a soul beast suitable for Dugu Yan.

Lin Yu, meanwhile, didn't delay either. He sat cross-legged directly beside the Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse and began absorbing the soul ring.

With Lin Yu's guidance, the roughly five-thousand-year soul ring of the Man Faced Demon Spider slowly sank into Lin Yu's body.

However, this absorption wasn't going smoothly.

As the soul ring fully entered Lin Yu's body, his expression turned extremely grim.

"It seems a five-thousand-year soul ring is still too much of a stretch." Yue Guan sighed as he saw Lin Yu's expression.

He wasn't worried about Lin Yu failing the absorption—with him, a Titled Douluo, around, ensuring Lin Yu didn't run into any accidents was no problem.

"But Xiao Yu doesn't look like he's about to collapse yet. Let's wait a bit." Yue Guan didn't intervene directly, instead watching Lin Yu with concern.

Sure enough, before long, Lin Yu's expression calmed down again. This was due to his Martial Soul's suppression of the Man Faced Demon Spider, as well as the power left in his body from the Immortal Herb he had taken earlier that hadn't been fully absorbed.

"It seems Xiao Yu can still absorb this soul ring." Yue Guan, seeing Lin Yu's performance, showed a pleased expression.

"Yan Yan, this soul beast is just right for you. Start absorbing the soul ring too." Dugu Bo dragged a roughly two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider over to Dugu Yan.

When a Titled Douluo made a move, a mere two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider had no power to resist.

After Dugu Yan finished off the Man Faced Demon Spider, she too began absorbing the soul ring.

For a time, both Lin Yu and Dugu Yan were in the process of absorbing their soul rings.

"It'll be a while before they can fully absorb the soul rings. Looks like we'll have to wait." Dugu Bo watched Lin Yu and Dugu Yan with concern.

But his gaze was mainly on Dugu Yan.

After all, the limit for a Third Soul Ring was roughly around 1,700 years, yet this Man Faced Demon Spider's age reached about 2,000 years. He didn't know if Dugu Yan could handle it.

However, after Yue Guan told him that Dugu Yan, after taking the Immortal Herb, had not only evolved her Martial Soul but also greatly increased her physical resilience, absorbing a two-thousand-year soul ring wouldn't be a problem. Even if something went wrong, with their help, no accidents would occur—only then did Dugu Bo bring over a roughly two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider.

"Old Ghost, keep a close watch on the surroundings. If there's any danger, we'll leave immediately." Yue Guan said to Ghost beside him.

Ghost didn't reply, simply silently fading out of sight.

About an hour or so later, Lin Yu finally opened his eyes, and by then, the soul ring had fully vanished into his body.

"Xiao Yu, you're awake." Yue Guan, seeing Lin Yu open his eyes, was delighted.

"Now we just need to wait for Dugu Yan to finish absorbing." As he spoke, Yue Guan glanced at Dugu Yan.

At that moment, Dugu Yan was still in the middle of absorbing her soul ring.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Yue Guan looked at Lin Yu, who still hadn't gotten up, and asked with some surprise.

However, facing Yue Guan's inquiry, Lin Yu did not reply. Instead, several sounds of fabric tearing came from behind him.

"What is this..." Yue Guan stared in surprise at the eight spider legs emerging from Lin Yu's back.

"External Soul Bone—Eight Spider Lances!" Lin Yu felt the soul bone manifesting behind him and grew excited.

After all, this soul bone was one of the goals for Lin Yu's trip to the Star Dou Forest this time.

He had originally thought the Eight Spider Lances would only appear on the Man Faced Demon Spider that Tang San had slain. He never expected that the five-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider he himself had killed would also yield this soul bone.

"And my Soul Power has now reached the 33rd Rank." Sensing the increase in his Soul Power, Lin Yu's lips curled into a smile.

"Ah..." Just as Lin Yu was feeling pleased, a moan suddenly sounded from beside him.

"Hm?" Lin Yu turned his gaze in confusion.

At that moment, Dugu Yan had also finished absorbing her Soul Ring, and the same phenomenon occurred—eight spider legs sprouted from her back.

But for Dugu Yan, this was no blessing, because the eight spider legs directly tore apart the upper part of her clothes.

Her fair, smooth skin was exposed to the open air. Yue Guan and the other two immediately turned their backs, leaving only Lin Yu staring without blinking.

"Ah!" Feeling the cold wind blowing unhindered against her skin, Dugu Yan opened her eyes to see her top completely shredded and let out a sharp cry.

Only then did Lin Yu snap out of it. He quickly took a piece of clothing from his Storage Ring and draped it over Dugu Yan.

At this point, Dugu Yan also came to her senses. She stopped screaming and looked at Lin Yu with a flushed face.

"Alright, since Xiao Yu and Yan Yan have both finished absorbing, it's time for us to leave this place." Yue Guan, ignoring how Dugu Bo was grinding his teeth in fury, directly led the two of them as they sped out of the Star Dou Forest.

Dugu Bo said nothing about Yue Guan's actions. After all, there was still a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lurking nearby, so he could only grit his teeth and follow behind Yue Guan.
