The red bone pierced through her body. Even the Hell Three-Eyed Spider could not withstand that All-Killing power!
Xue's eyes trembled. "Why... did you save me?"
The Three-Eyed Spider said, "I have many incarnations, but there is only one Uchiha Xue. You should not end your mission in a place like this!"
Xue said gloomily, "Even if you save me, it is useless... My Soul Rings have already come to an end. Before long, I will die as well."
"Do you really think so, Xue?" The Three-Eyed Spider said something astonishing. "This incarnation of mine will not die in vain. My soul will reside within your body and prolong your Soul Rings!!"
Crack! Crack!
As the red bones shattered, the spider's body cracked as well, decaying away—but its soul broke free from its body!
Thump!!!
A violent heartbeat sounded. The clothes on Xue'er's back tore apart, revealing the mark of a blood-red spider!!!
It was the mark the Three-Eyed Spider had left behind on the day Xue'er became a Netherworld Soul Pursuit envoy!
Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle!!!
Invisible threads bound Xue's limbs. The Three-Eyed Spider's soul turned into a dark-red fluid and surged into the spider mark!!!
"Mm...!!"
Pain filled Xue'er's face as her white hair, depleted by the exhaustion of her Soul Rings, flew upward!
"You dare pull such tricks right in front of me? You truly have no respect for me!"
Ōtsutsuki Huiyao stood frosty and aloof, a terrifying sphere of Chakra condensing in her palm.
The Three-Eyed Spider's soul was too powerful. Its transfer required time, and Huiyao clearly had no intention of giving them that time!!
Buzz!!
At the critical moment, the golden Edict of Phoenix Grace on Xue'er's back shone brilliantly. Nue, residing within it, actually appeared of its own accord and lunged at Huiyao!!!
