Intercepting the Man Faced Demon Spider, External Soul Bone! Eight Spider Lances become Eight Phoenix Wings!

"Get lost."

Ning Rongrong cast a cold glance at Oscar.

"Don't call me Rongrong; we aren't that familiar."

"Zhu Zhuqing!

If you dare to leave today, don't even think about coming back!"

Dai Mubai roared, his eyes filled with violence.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't even spare him a glance, turning around to walk toward the outskirts of the forest with Ning Rongrong.

"That suits me perfectly.

Dai Mubai, you had better worry about yourself first."

Above the canopy.

Relying on the advantage of flight, Huang Yan transformed into a silent afterimage.

He bypassed Tang San, who was still sprinting on the ground, and arrived ahead of time on the path he was destined to take.

According to the original trajectory, that Man Faced Demon Spider should be wandering somewhere around here...

Huang Yan hovered in mid-air, his gaze rapidly scanning the dense forest below.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

"Found it!"

In the shrubbery below, a massive black spider was lurking.

Its carapace was imprinted with a hideous human face pattern, and its eight long legs, sharp as spears, emitted a pungent, fishy stench.

It was none other than the Man Faced Demon Spider!

"Luck is on my side; saves me the trouble of searching everywhere."

Huang Yan sneered.

Without a shred of hesitation, he raised his hand and summoned a cluster of brilliant, dazzling golden flames.

"Go to hell."

The Bright Phoenix Fire descended like a falling meteor, carrying extreme heat that instantly engulfed the Man Faced Demon Spider below.

"Hiss--!"

The Man Faced Demon Spider only had time to let out a shrill, miserable shriek, without even a chance to struggle.

Under the incineration of the Phoenix Fire, it was reduced to a charred husk.

A purple thousand-year spirit ring slowly rose.

However, Huang Yan's gaze bypassed the spirit ring entirely, locking firmly onto a bone flickering with a strange light amidst the spider's remains.

It was a shrunken spider backplate, still connected to eight extremely sharp spider legs.

"External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances!"

A flash of pleasant surprise crossed Huang Yan's eyes, and he couldn't help but chuckle aloud:

"Heh, it actually dropped!"

Huang Yan flashed to the ground and unceremoniously stowed it into his storage ring.

"Tang San, oh Tang San, I'll be taking your cheat code.

Good luck surviving the dangers to come."

Huang Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Item secured, time to retreat!"

Before the words had even faded, Huang Yan transformed into a streak of golden light and shot into the sky.

Not long after, Huang Yan found a hidden cave on a cliff face.

After tossing out a ball of golden flame to incinerate a Shadow Leopard lurking inside, Huang Yan strode into the cave and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the Eight Spider Lances.

"This thing is purely dark and poison attribute, diametrically opposed to my light and flame attributes."

Huang Yan rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

"Still, this is an extremely rare External Soul Bone, something you can only find by luck, not by seeking.

I'll try absorbing it first; if my bloodline truly rejects it, I can always strip it out later."

Having made up his mind, Huang Yan hesitated no longer and immediately channeled his spirit power to guide the Eight Spider Lances into his body.

A purple-black current of energy instantly surged along his back and into his spine!

"Hiss, what a chilling toxin!"

Huang Yan frowned slightly.

However, before this toxin could spread within Huang Yan's body.

The Bright Phoenix bloodline within Huang Yan seemed to have been severely provoked, suddenly boiling over!

"BOOM!"

An incredibly domineering, brilliant golden flame erupted instantly from within Huang Yan's body, enveloping him entirely.

"What is happening?"

Huang Yan looked inward with some surprise.

My bloodline... is actually forcibly cleansing the attributes of this External Soul Bone?!

He watched as the power of the Bright Phoenix bloodline, like a force crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, burned away and purified all the darkness and venom within the Eight Spider Lances!

The originally purple-black spider leg bones, under the frantic tempering of the golden flames, turned into a brilliant, bright gold inch by inch.

What was even more incredible was that its form had also undergone an earth-shattering change!

Those eight ferocious and sharp spider legs had actually grown layers of golden energy fire feathers.

In the end, they transformed into eight magnificent and razor-sharp golden wings!

"This..."

Huang Yan suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the strange power emanating from his back, his face full of ecstasy.

"The spider legs have actually turned into phoenix wings!

The Eight Spider Lances... have become the Eight Phoenix Wings?!"

Huang Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Hahaha!

As expected of the top-tier Bright Phoenix bloodline, it can actually forcibly assimilate and remodel an External Soul Bone!"

Huang Yan hurriedly composed his mind, striking while the iron was hot to fully absorb and refine these completely mutated "Eight Phoenix Wings."

A moment later, the golden light receded.

Huang Yan stood up with satisfaction. With a thought, eight shimmering golden phoenix wings unfolded behind him, making him look like a god descended to the world.

"Too perfect."

Huang Yan carefully sensed the information that had appeared in his mind, the smile on his lips growing even richer.

"Not only did it retain the original 'Devour' trait."

"The original venom attribute has been completely converted into 'Ultimate Light Flame,' carrying extremely strong burning and purification effects."

"On top of that, it has gained two powerful skills: 'Extreme Flight' and 'Phoenix Wing Heaven Slash'!"

Huang Yan's heart stirred, and he retracted the Eight Phoenix Wings, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

"Tang San, oh Tang San, if you knew your cheat had been intercepted by me.

Wouldn't your heart ache to death?"

Huang Yan retracted the eight golden wings from his back, stretched his limbs, and felt in a great mood.

"As for the messy business of those people in Shrek, let them bite each other; I can't be bothered to care anymore."

Huang Yan casually brushed the dust off his body, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Now that the External Soul Bone is in hand, it is time to attend to serious business."

"It is time to find a soul ring suitable for me."

Huang Yan closed his eyes, no longer deliberately suppressing the soul power within his body.

Instead, he fully released the power of the Bright Phoenix bloodline to perceive his surroundings.

A top-tier martial soul has a natural resonance with soul beasts of the same bloodline.

Only a moment later, the Bright Phoenix bloodline within Huang Yan suddenly produced a strange throb.

"This is... bloodline guidance?"

Huang Yan opened his eyes abruptly, looking with surprise toward several different directions in the forest.

"Southeast... due north... and northwest..."

Huang Yan carefully felt the longing and resonance coming from his bloodline, a look of excitement curling his lips.

"Interesting!

There are actually three directions sending out strong resonance!"

"Moreover, judging by the intensity of this aura, they are all avian soul beasts between the forty-thousand and fifty-thousand-year level!"

Huang Yan rubbed his chin, his eyes filled with determination.

"To be able to cause such a strong reaction from the Bright Phoenix, these soul beasts must all contain an extremely pure phoenix bloodline!"

"Forty to fifty thousand years, just right at my absorption limit; these are top-grade soul rings tailor-made for me!"

Huang Yan hesitated no longer, his gaze locking onto the southeast direction closest to him.

"I'll start with you, then, and see exactly what kind of top-tier Soul Beast is waiting for me!"

As the words fell, the magnificent Eight Phoenix Wings instantly unfurled from Huang Yan's back.

"Whoosh—!"

With a flash of golden light, Huang Yan transformed into a brilliant meteor, streaking toward the depths of the dense forest in the southeast at a terrifying speed.
