Corpse Yin Sect, Shocking All of Douluo!

"It is far too difficult for our soul beast kin to cultivate. One hundred thousand years is a massive hurdle, and as for becoming a god, we don't even have a path to follow."

"The light screen just said that as long as one survives in that world for a year, they can bring back treasures."

"If this Human-Faced Demon Spider can truly endure for a year and bring back a cultivation method that allows one to be reborn, or some heaven-defying treasure..."

Da Ming sighed heavily as he finished his sentence.

"By then, our soul beast kin might finally be able to escape the hunting of humans and truly possess a heaven-reaching path of our own."

"Therefore, this spider must not die."

The two hundred-thousand-year-level overlords were, at this moment, praying for a thousand-year-old spider that they would usually not even deign to look at.

At the same time, Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

The atmosphere on the training ground had undergone a subtle shift.

Su Yuntao's death had indeed shaken everyone to their core.

But now, seeing that the third explorer was actually a soul beast, the crowd's spirits were revived.

"Look everyone, the demon spider seems to be setting an ambush."

Suddenly, Ma Hongjun pointed at the sky screen and shouted loudly.

In the image, the Human-Faced Demon Spider had already skillfully climbed up a large tree.

It sprayed several clusters of gray-white webbing from its tail, using the surrounding white mist as cover to set a concealed trap among the canopy.

Then, it tucked itself behind the dense leaves and hid, motionless.

Seeing this, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang regained his confidence.

He clasped his hands behind his back, paced twice in front of the crowd, and wore a smug smile on his face.

"This is the survival wisdom of a soul beast."

Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and began his analysis.

"Don't look down on it just because it's only a thousand-year-level Human-Faced Demon Spider; its comprehensive combat power is absolutely comparable to a human Spirit Ancestor above level forty."

"Furthermore, demon spiders are born with the instinct for camouflage and assassination."

"Its shell is as hard as iron; ordinary blades cannot cut through it."

"The webs it spits are not only extremely sticky but also highly toxic."

Having said this, Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Flender and Zhao Wuji.

"The reason that Hengyue Sect disciple from the Renegade Immortal World was able to kill Su Yuntao in an instant was merely because he took advantage of his bizarre techniques."

"But when it comes down to it, Su Yuntao is just a level twenty-six piece of trash. How can he be mentioned in the same breath as a thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider?"

Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, rubbed his chin and chimed in, "Grandmaster is right."

"This demon spider is incredibly fast. If it were to hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack, even someone like me, a Spirit Saint with high defense and health, would have to be careful."

"Especially in a white-mist valley like this where visibility is obstructed."

Hearing the agreement, the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face grew even wider.

He extended a finger, pointed at the sky, and said, "Therefore, this is the true test for that Renegade Immortal World."

"I want to see if the people of that world can still handle this as easily as they did before when facing this kind of soul beast."

"If this demon spider can successfully hunt a few local creatures, it will prove that the defenses of that world are nothing special."

"Our high-level spirit masters of the Douluo Continent are fully capable of gaining a foothold in that world!"

Hearing these resounding words from the Grandmaster, the hearts of the Shrek students slowly settled.

That's right, Su Yuntao was too weak; he couldn't represent the true level of the Douluo Continent.

This Human-Faced Demon Spider was the true touchstone to test the quality of the Renegade Immortal World.

Everyone raised their heads, staring at the light screen with anticipation, waiting for the show to begin.

At this moment, in Spirit City, inside the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong had returned to her seat on the papal throne.

She rested her chin on one hand, her beautiful eyes flickering with uncertain light.

Below the steps, the Ghost Douluo, Ghost, was bowing as he reported the situation in detail.

"Your Majesty, I have encountered this Human-Faced Demon Spider several times in my early years."

Ghost's voice sounded like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, harsh to the ear.

"This type of soul beast is inherently cruel and extremely vengeful. The most troublesome part is that its venom is highly corrosive."

"Even for a Title Douluo like myself, if I were to accidentally come into contact with its venom, it would take quite some effort to force it out."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her face devoid of expression.

She was also calculating in her heart.

Su Yuntao had died too quickly just moments ago; she hadn't been able to see clearly just how much depth that Renegade Immortal World truly possessed.

Now that he had been replaced by a soul beast with greater durability and more sinister methods, it was the perfect opportunity to test and extract some useful intelligence.

Standing beside Ghost, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan curled his finger into an orchid gesture and said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, look at the light screen."

"This little thing hides itself quite deeply."

"If the sky screen hadn't been following it, even I wouldn't have noticed such a large creature hiding behind those leaves."

"In my opinion, as long as it doesn't run into a freak like the one from before who could use flying swords, this spider can absolutely run rampant in that valley."

Just then, a series of brisk footsteps echoed from outside the great hall.

The Golden Generation of Spirit Hall—Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—walked quickly into the hall.

"Teacher." Hu Liena bowed respectfully, then cast her gaze toward the light screen suspended in mid-air.

She looked at the gray, hazy valley, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Teacher, the environment of that Renegade Immortal World seems very peculiar."

Hu Liena analyzed, "The place where Su Yuntao descended was filled with spiritual energy, birds singing, and fragrant flowers."

"Yet, the place where this demon spider descended is filled with deathly aura and miasma."

"This suggests that the world is not only vast but likely contains various dangerous regions."

Bibi Dong cast an appreciative glance at her beloved disciple.

"Nana is right."

"This is also what concerns This Seat the most. If that world has righteous sects of immortal cultivators, there must also be heterodox paths."

"The place where this demon spider is currently staying is clearly no sanctuary."

Bibi Dong tapped her scepter lightly against the floor, producing a crisp sound.

"Pass down the order: have the people from the Consecrated Hall come out to watch as well."

"No one is permitted to miss the live broadcast of this Human-Faced Demon Spider."

"This Seat wants to see with my own eyes whether a world that could leave a Great Spirit Master without a shred of resistance can truly withstand the assassination of a thousand-year soul beast!"

Just as the various factions of Douluo Continent were anticipating the Human-Faced Demon Spider to display its might, the image on the sky screen finally showed some movement.

Deep within the white mist of the valley, a faint sound of footsteps slowly emerged.

"Rustle, rustle..."

The sound was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet valley.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider hiding in the canopy instantly pricked up its ears, its eight compound eyes rotating in unison.

Prey had arrived.

The demon spider adjusted its posture slightly, its eight long legs gripping the tree trunk tightly, ready to spring at any moment.

Following the demon spider's perspective, the audience on Douluo Continent also saw the appearance of the newcomer.

It was a young man dressed in a black robe.

This young man was deathly pale, his face devoid of any color, making him look as if he were suffering from a severe illness.

He did not walk fast; he moved step by step, very slowly.

What was most strange was that the young man was actually carrying a pitch-black wooden coffin on his back.

The coffin did not look light, yet the young man carried it without even catching his breath.

He walked leisurely along the small path in the valley, completely unaware that in the leaves above his head, pairs of malicious eyes were staring right at him.

"Who is this guy? Running around in broad daylight carrying a coffin."

At Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but shrink his neck, feeling a sense of dread.

"Who cares who he is? Looking at how frail he is, I doubt he can even withstand a single strike from that demon spider," Dai Mubai sneered.

On the screen, the black-robed youth carrying the coffin walked directly beneath the tree where the demon spider was hiding.

Now!

The Human-Faced Demon Spider did not hesitate at all.

Driven by its predatory instinct, it released its long legs from the tree trunk.

Its massive body descended like a giant boulder falling from the sky, carrying a foul stench as it smashed directly toward the young man below.

At the same time, its tail contracted violently.

A massive, grayish-white poisonous web was instantly sprayed out, covering the sky and the earth like a shroud, descending directly over the young man's head.

These two consecutive strikes were both fast and ruthless.

Once ensnared by the venomous web, even a Spirit King-level powerhouse on the Douluo Continent would be absolutely unable to break free for a time.

Immediately following that, the Demon Spider would pierce their body directly with its sharp, elongated legs.

Witnessing this perfect ambush, Yu Xiaogang could not help but want to clap and cheer right there on the training ground.

However, just as that toxic web was about to descend upon the young man's head, the black-robed youth carrying the coffin suddenly halted his steps.

Then, he was seen slowly raising his right hand to snap his fingers casually in mid-air.

"Snap."

A crisp sound echoed out, and in the next second, the lid of the black coffin on his back suddenly slid open a crack without any warning.
