Star Dou Forest, Man Faced Demon Spider territory.

A large number of Man Faced Demon Spiders gathered here, ruled by a Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor with fifty thousand years of cultivation.

The two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider that Tang San had slain in the original story, dropping the External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances, also lived here.

A group of intelligent Ten-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spiders returned from hunting outside.

Spider silk bound various pig- and rabbit-type Spirit Beasts, dragging them along the ground.

These Spirit Beasts were tributes offered by the Ten-Thousand-Year Man Faced Demon Spiders for their emperor to consume.

Within the dark cave region, the fifty-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor devoured the food its subjects had brought back from their hunt.

From time to time, the sound of bones being crushed echoed out.

When Qian Xunji arrived, he heard the chilling sounds and inhaled the blood-soaked stench, causing him to frown.

It somewhat resembled the blood-drenched environment of Slaughter City, which he disliked.

He only wanted to complete his objective as quickly as possible, obtain the Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone Eight Spider Lances, and leave this unpleasant place.

A roar rang out. He knew it was the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor warning an intruder who had entered its territory.

A Spirit Beast without even a hundred thousand years of cultivation dared bare its fangs and show hostility toward him.

It truly did not know whether it lived or died!

If not for wanting to guarantee the External Soul Bone, Qian Xunji would have already acted and killed this beast that had dared reveal its fangs to him.

I am not Tang San. When I kill Spirit Beasts, I do not need to label them Evil Spirit Beasts. If I want to kill them, I kill them. I never need an excuse.

Ninth Soul Skill, Mental Power Sharing.

Once their mental powers connected, Qian Xunji could converse with Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts that had developed intelligence but could not speak human language.

"Beast, I will give you one chance to live."

The Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor sensed Qian Xunji's immense strength. Its instinct to survive made it willing to speak with him.

The sacred light attribute heavily suppressed its evil poison attribute.

It could sense that if Qian Xunji used even one move, it would certainly die if it failed to evade it.

"Human powerhouse, would you really be kind enough to spare my life?" The Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor's voice was full of doubt.

As a Spirit Beast that had lived for who knew how many years, it understood one truth well.

Not a single word humans said could be trusted.

Humans came looking for Spirit Beasts for only one purpose: to kill them and obtain Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones.

The powerhouse before it was clearly a Titled Douluo from the human world.

A Titled Douluo already possessed nine Spirit Rings, and since he had come alone, he was certainly not here to hunt it for a Spirit Ring.

A human powerhouse with no need for a Spirit Ring had come looking for it, so he must be after its Spirit Bone.

But everyone knew that only Spirit Beasts with cultivation exceeding a hundred thousand years could reliably drop Spirit Bones.

As for other Spirit Beasts, whether ten-thousand-year, thousand-year, or hundred-year, the chance of dropping a Spirit Bone after being killed was low and depended on luck.

"Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor, then it depends on your fortune."

Qian Xunji's casual words made the Spirit Beast twitch in anger.

"I will feed you precisely and help raise your cultivation to one hundred thousand years."

"When your cultivation reaches one hundred thousand years, if you can withstand ten of my moves, I will spare your life."

"Conversely, if you cannot withstand ten moves and lose the strength to fight, then use the essence of your body to condense an External Soul Bone for me."

"Human, why should I believe that you will keep your promise?" The Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor was tempted, but distrust of humans was carved into its bones.

A human's mouth was the ghost that deceived beasts.

Spirit Beasts that believed human words all became Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones.

"In the name of Qian Xunji, heir of the Asura God, I swear to the Asura God that if I break my promise, my Martial Soul shall shatter."

After Qian Xunji finished his oath, the Blood Sword Mark on his forehead emitted a dazzling red light, and a voice sounded.

"Granted!"

That voice, which looked down upon all under heaven, oppressed all living beings, and made the souls of mortals and Spirit Beasts tremble, struck directly into the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor's mind.

It was a Spirit Beast that had lived through the era of the Angel God, so it naturally knew of the existence of deities.

Although it did not know what kind of god the Asura God was, a god was still a god.

For a human to stake his own Martial Soul and swear an oath to a deity, this was no ordinary vow.

Unless the human before it no longer wanted his Martial Soul.

For a human to not want his Martial Soul was like a Spirit Beast not wanting its own bloodline.

"Fine. I agree."

As the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor agreed, the Blood Sword Mark erupted with another burst of intense light, illuminating the entire cavern.

"The contract is established. Any violator shall surely invite Heavenly Tribulation and have their soul destroyed beneath heavenly lightning!"

The majestic voice rang out once more.

It worked, Qian Xunji thought with a secret smile.

He had a vast supply of Bloody Mary, more than a thousand Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts, eight Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts, and the flesh of a two-hundred-thousand-year Ferocious Beast.

With such resources, he was confident that he could feed the fifty-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor up to a hundred thousand years.

Instantly killing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor would be effortless.

But whether it would drop an External Soul Bone could not be guaranteed.

As for left arm bones, right arm bones, leg bones, torso bones, and the like, he had no interest in them whatsoever.

Only an embryonic divine artifact like an External Soul Bone is worth my effort to plan for and obtain.

Over the following period, Qian Xunji began force-feeding the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor.

He fed it Bloody Mary by the barrel.

He did not feed it the flesh of Ten-Thousand-Year Evil Spirit Orcas, only their internal organs, which had the highest nutritional value and stored the most Soul Power energy.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor's cultivation increased at a visibly rapid rate every day.

Sixty thousand years, seventy thousand years, eighty thousand years, ninety thousand years... its cultivation rose at an average rate of ten thousand years per month.

But the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor was miserable inside.

The way it looked at Qian Xunji was filled with fear.

This demon wearing human skin was simply not human.

When the little spider could not eat anymore, he fed the little spider digestive tablets.

The little spider's stomach was already filled with food, yet he still said, "This is barely anything," and called it force-feeding.

Once the tube was inserted, food was forcibly stuffed in.

If the Man Faced Demon Spider clan did not possess devouring abilities and tenacious vitality, and if an Emerald Swan had not continuously used healing Soul Skills to repair its esophagus and stomach, it probably would have collapsed long ago.

I will be stuffed to death!

"Eat the internal organs of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Evil Orca King and become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast."

Qian Xunji eagerly anticipated the moment when the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor's cultivation broke through to a hundred thousand years.

Over these six months, aside from signing in on time each month and obtaining Getsuga Tensho, the Yin-Yang Complementary Three Soul Nuclei Condensation Method...

He was either cultivating or force-feeding the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor to increase its cultivation.

As for its subjects, they had all been taken into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension.

Qian Xunji had no intention of letting Tang San obtain the Eight Spider Lances.

After the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor finished eating and refining the internal organs of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Evil Orca King, along with part of the internal organs of the two-hundred-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon,

[Race: Man Faced Demon Spider] [Cultivation: One hundred thousand years]

The next day, the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor finished digesting the food in its stomach, and its body returned to peak condition.

The battle began.

To survive, the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor struck first, spitting out a spiderweb.

Soul Shock.

Qian Xunji used only one move to knock the Hundred-Thousand-Year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor unconscious.

A defensive barrier formed from golden flames enveloped his entire body, rendering the incoming spiderweb useless.

Under the Emerald Swan's treatment, the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor woke up.

"Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."

There was no warmth in Qian Xunji's voice, only cold, businesslike ruthlessness.

Its instinct to survive made the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor instinctively flee.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji suppressed it with a backhand strike, then tortured it while having the Emerald Swan treat it, until the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor wholeheartedly sought death, sacrificed itself, and condensed an External Soul Bone.

For this, Qian Xunji even used up two Side-Effect-Free Spirit Ring Deprivation Cards.

The Spirit Ring provided by the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor conflicted with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

The evil and sacred attributes erupted into conflict within his body, nearly causing Qian Xunji internal injuries.

After the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor sacrificed itself, it lost its hundred-thousand-year cultivation and became an ordinary Man Faced Demon Spider.

Qian Xunji grabbed it and threw it into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform Sub-dimension to raise as livestock.

Because they fed on Soft Bone Rabbits, the Man Faced Demon Spider clan had been attacked and driven away by Da Ming and Er Ming, leaving their numbers rather low.

For the sake of sustainable development, Qian Xunji did not mind raising a group of Man Faced Demon Spiders.

Besides, the Eight Spider Lances could evolve by devouring Man Faced Demon Spiders.
