Obtained Another Soul Bone, Fusing and Upgrading the Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone: Ten Spider Swords

When Chu Hao saw the little spider's provocation, that really pissed him off.

Well, damn!

You really think I can't do anything to you, huh?

Just watch how I deal with you in a bit.

Seeing that the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor had already charged in to kill him, Chu Hao quickly reined in his focus and immediately retreated several meters.

The Crypt Demon Spider was nothing like the Man-Faced Demon Spider. It was best at using all kinds of terrain to set traps for its enemies, relying on its special skills to ambush and kill them.

Its spiderwebs in particular, though toxin-free, were extremely tough.

On top of that, they were coated in an incredibly viscous liquid that solidified when exposed to wind. In the blink of an eye, the spider silk would become as hard as steel, forming a true prison.

When facing a highly intelligent Crypt Demon Spider Emperor, one absolutely had to keep their distance, observe their surroundings, and avoid falling into its traps.

Sure enough, the moment he withdrew, a spider-silk cage appeared where he had been standing.

And that cage was none other than the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's innate skill, Spiderweb Prison.

This innate skill was extremely powerful, silent and undetectable, without the slightest warning. It came from the Crypt Demon Spider hiding its spider silk in every place it passed through.

This spider silk could be controlled by the Crypt Demon Spider's spiritual power. As soon as an enemy stepped into its range, it would activate at once, forming a hardened prison.

If the enemy was weak, the Crypt Demon Spider would take the chance to kill them. If the enemy was too powerful, the Crypt Demon Spider could use the prison to trap them and buy time to escape.

Since this place was the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's lair, it was surely covered in its spider silk.

After Chu Hao dodged the first Spiderweb Prison, the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor began releasing the next web at his landing point.

Unfortunately, Chu Hao had expected this. Just as he was about to land, he immediately used sword-riding flight to change his landing point in time, while launching streak after streak of sword qi to probe it and draw out more traps while he was at it.

Perhaps the little spider had told the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor that the sword qi was extremely sharp and could not be blocked head-on, because the moment the sword qi was released, it hurriedly dodged.

If it could not dodge, it directly spat out a spiderweb to block the attack.

Just like that, one man and one spider exchanged moves, clashing through intelligence and strategy.

But a soul beast was still a soul beast in the end, even if it possessed imperial bloodline and intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a ten-year-old human.

Compared with Chu Hao, it was still far inferior.

Before long, the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor began paying an IQ tax.

After a series of probes, Chu Hao learned all of the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's methods. Stepping on the Hades Sword, he flew above it.

Holding his sword with both hands, he slashed down from midair.

But just as the Heavenly Giant Sword finished condensing, the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's unusually thick and sharp front legs began digging frantically. In just moments, it dug out a large hole, burrowed inside, and concealed its aura.

What the hell!

When Chu Hao saw this, he was instantly dumbfounded!

You damn thing!

Crypt Demon Spiders really could dig holes.

As expected of the only spider-type soul beast capable of burrowing.

But did it think it could escape like this?

Then it was underestimating his abilities far too much.

Chu Hao directly pushed the God-Demon Eye to its limit. Red and white radiance flashed wildly, and with a sweep over the ground, he found where the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor was.

Then he restrained his aura and flew rapidly toward that spot, driving the Hades Sword in his hand straight down. It instantly pierced through the ground and stabbed into the top of the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's head.

Just like that, the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor died in utter frustration to the very move it had been so confident in.

Famed above the crypt, dead beneath the crypt.

"Rise!"

Chu Hao shouted sharply. With a slight lift of his sword fingers, a burst of sword qi erupted from the Hades Sword embedded in the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor, blasting a huge pit into the ground.

The Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's corpse appeared before his eyes.

That deep black soul ring emerged of its own accord, blooming with a cold, dark aura.

"Devour!"

Chu Hao murmured softly, and the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's remaining vitality and soul power were devoured by the Hades Sword, turning into pure life force and soul power that flowed into his body.

At that moment, Chu Hao felt refreshed all over. He could not even begin to describe how comfortable it was.

As expected of a sixty-thousand-year soul beast with royal bloodline. It really was different.

"Edict!"

After sensing the changes in his body, Chu Hao immediately unleashed streak after streak of sword qi, condensing them around himself into a layer of sword aura.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he sat cross-legged and began adding the fourth soul ring to the Hades Sword.

At this time, the little spider appeared again. It went straight to the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's corpse and inserted one spider leg into the abdomen of the Man-Faced Demon Spider King, which had not yet fully shriveled up.

Though the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's soul power, vitality, and soul ring had all been obtained by Chu Hao.

However, the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's bloodline power had not completely dissipated yet.

The little spider clearly wanted to use this chance to devour the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's remaining bloodline power and obtain immense strength.

And sure enough, after the little spider finished devouring the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's bloodline power, it changed.

Its body doubled in size, and its form grew increasingly similar to the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's, as if it had fully inherited the Man-Faced Demon Spider King's legacy.

After the little spider completed its transformation, it glanced at Chu Hao, who was absorbing the spirit ring, hesitated for a moment, then slipped away and vanished without a trace.

At that moment, Chu Hao had just successfully attached the spirit ring and obtained a powerful spirit skill, Soul Devouring and Soul Seizing.

This spirit skill could directly devour spirit power, souls, and martial souls to gain temporary strength.

The more it devoured, the stronger the power obtained.

It was equivalent to another form of Slaughter Devouring God, and his spirit power had also risen to rank forty-two.

It could be said that this gave Chu Hao a burst of joy.

After that, Chu Hao immediately used the God-Demon Eye to check whether the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor had produced a spirit bone.

Just as he had hoped, the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor did not disappoint him. It had also produced a spirit bone.

Only, this spirit bone had been formed from the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor's two front legs. Its structure was somewhat similar to the Eight Spider Lances, and it also seemed to be an external spirit bone.

"System, inspect this spirit bone's information."

In his confusion, Chu Hao silently thought in his heart.

[Ding! Special spirit bone. It can be used to fuse with an external spirit bone, or it can independently serve as left and right arm spirit bones (each spirit bone's age will be halved).]

[It is recommended that the host fuse it with the Eight Spider Lances.]

After receiving the answer, Chu Hao released his external spirit bone without the slightest hesitation and completely wrapped the spirit bone in his hand.

At once, the spirit bone derived from the Crypt Demon Spider Emperor after its death glowed with a streak of black light, which gradually spread onto the external spirit bone.

Then, a heart-rending pain came from Chu Hao's back, as if the bones and spinal cord across his entire back were being torn apart. The agony was unbearable.

He knew this was an unavoidable part of the spirit bone's fusion and evolution.

Fortunately, Chu Hao had experienced this kind of pain before—even worse than this, in fact. It was nothing major. He just had to grit his teeth and endure it.

Aside from sweating all over, he did not even furrow his brows.

After he fused with the spirit bone, his spirit power rose by another rank, and the external spirit bone also changed, evolving from the original eight into ten.

Moreover, its lance-like form underwent a subtle change. The tips grew longer and thinner, like slender swords.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully fusing the spirit bone. The external spirit bone has evolved into Ten Spider Swords (Emperor-level, evolvable), with an age of ninety thousand years. Additional spirit skill obtained: Enhancement: can enhance all attributes of the body by one hundred percent. Reward: spirit bone age increased by ten thousand years.]

[Ding! Spirit bone age increase successful. Congratulations, host, on obtaining a hundred-thousand-year external spirit bone, Ten Spider Swords (Emperor-level, evolvable). New spirit skill obtained: Bloodthirsty Slaughter (can use the Ten Spider Swords to set up a formation and kill enemies).]
