Eight-Spider Spear, Soul Spirit Cards! To Lake of Life

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~"

The four Cloud Bat Aircraft followed like shadows, strictly carrying out their orders as they drove the prey toward its final blow.

The Man Faced Demon Spider fled in panic, arriving at the clearing covered in wounds.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to act, Jingliu and Acheron, the two elder sisters skilled with blades and swords, made their move.

Transcendent Flash!!

Eight Thunder Crossing!!

Frost and lightning intertwined, locking onto the Man Faced Demon Spider.

Man Faced Demon Spider: "?Bush Gomen?"

Xu Yuan hurriedly shouted a reminder, "Leave the corpse intact."

Jingliu and Acheron nodded, reining in some of their strength.

A sharp blue-white sword beam swept close to the ground, instantly tearing through the demon spider's carapace and freezing it solid.

Purple-black flying lightning blades flickered back and forth, weaving into a massive net of annihilating blade marks as they relentlessly whipped the corpse!!

The entire clearing exploded in an instant. Waves of blue-white and purple-black energy canceled each other out and vanished into nothingness.

"Clang, clang—"

Before the Man Faced Demon Spider could even react, it died on the spot, leaving not even a scrap behind...

No, one intact spider head remained.

The next moment.

A bright purple Soul Ring slowly condensed above the dim spider head.

Xu Yuan: "..."

That was too brutal!

It had been a completely one-sided slaughter, an absolute crushing.

With Jingliu and Acheron's combined strike, had they directly blasted away even the External Soul Bone?

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan flashed over to the purple Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Ignoring the Soul Ring, he summoned the Darkgolden Terrorclaw.

"Clang~!"

Five long dark-golden claws extended, slicing open the spider head as easily as cutting tofu.

Xu Yuan swiftly reached inside and grabbed an item.

It was a palm-sized, shrunken Soul Bone resembling eight spear-like spider legs, entirely purple in color.

External Soul Bone—the Eight-Spider Spear!

This thing had received plenty of attention in the original work. Starting as an insignificant Thousand Year External Soul Bone, it eventually became the Sea God's Eight Wings.

Its appearance was somewhat lacking before it evolved, but its potential was enormous!

Generally speaking, External Soul Bones only provided passive Soul Bone skills, such as—

The Eight-Spider Spear had only three passive Soul Bone skills: devouring, releasing poison, and a 50% increase to all attributes.

It was like Xu Yuan's right-hand Darkgolden Terrorclaw. Aside from ordinary attacks, it only had the dark-golden claw shadow attack.

And Xu Yuan had focused heavily on developing that dark-golden claw shadow attack, training two attack modes.

Earth-Splitting Slash!

Heaven-Rending Claw!

The true power of an External Soul Bone was that it could evolve!

With that thought, Xu Yuan withdrew the Darkgolden Terrorclaw, and the purple Eight-Spider Spear External Soul Bone landed in his palm.

At that moment, March 7th came over with a face full of curiosity.

"Xu Yuan, is this an External Soul Bone?"

Xu Yuan glanced at March 7th and handed her the Eight-Spider Spear External Soul Bone. "March, do you want to fuse with it?"

At once, March 7th made a disgusted face and quickly backed away, pushing with both hands as she said:

"No, it's too ugly. You can keep it."

"A beautiful young lady like me would only want pretty wings, even if I were fusing with an External Soul Bone."

March 7th's interruption gave Xu Yuan an idea instead.

There were not many famous flying soul beasts from the Douluo I era, but if he had to find one, he did have a target.

The Emerald Swan!

This soul beast was purely a healing type, and its strongest representative ranked fourth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts.

Bi Ji!

According to the original timeline, Di Tian and the others were currently sleeping in the Lake of Life, or rather...

They were dividing up the million-year rechargeable battery, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Since he had come all this way to the Great Star Dou Forest, how could he possibly miss out on this feast of Ten Ferocious Beasts?

After all, six Ferocious Beasts resided within the Great Star Dou Forest.

Ninth place, the Hell Demon Dragon King, Zi JI.

Eighth place, the Three-Headed Scarlet Mastiff, Scarlet King!

Sixth place, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Xiong Jun!

Fifth place, the Demon Eye Tree King, Myriad Demon King!

Fourth place, the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji!

As for the missing seventh and third places, they were not in the Great Star Dou Forest, but in the Far North.

Seventh place, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, Ice Empress!

Third place, the Heavenly Snow Woman, Snow Empress!

As for second place, it was the strongest soul beast of the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, Evil Emperor!

And first place belonged to the strongest being aside from the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, the Beast God of the Great Star Dou Forest.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, with a cultivation of 890,000 years.

The leader of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, Di Tian!

Of course, those were only the Ten Ferocious Beasts on land.

There was another exception in the original work, out at sea.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had a cultivation nearing a million years and was the absolute king of the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan.

The original work did not mention the Ferocious Beast ranked tenth.

But there were no weaklings on the Ten Ferocious Beasts ranking.

The weakest known was Zi JI—she had at least 200,000 years of cultivation.

Xu Yuan's first martial soul, Dawnmaker, was temporarily full on Soul Rings, but his second martial soul had not received a single one.

The Worldbearing Flame required attributes of extreme cold and extreme heat.

Among the six Ferocious Beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest, several were suitable targets.

Otherwise, even counting the two Ice and Snow Empresses, the Worldbearing Flame's nine required Soul Rings would still be far from enough.

Setting those thoughts aside for now, Xu Yuan lowered his head and looked at the Eight-Spider Spear External Soul Bone in his hand.

His golden finger had remained silent, so the Honkai must not have been thorough enough.

Then...

Xu Yuan decisively sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Eight-Spider Spear External Soul Bone.

Seeing Xu Yuan absorbing that External Soul Bone, Jingliu hurried over and stood beside him to stand guard.

Sparkle yawned, propping her cheek up with one small hand as she sat on a stool and watched March 7th explain the situation to Acheron.

Half an hour later.

Xu Yuan finished fusing with it and slowly opened his eyes.

The next second, two notifications appeared in succession.

[Soul Power Level: 67]

[Main Quest Honkai Progress Bar: 28.5%. Reward: Soul Spirit Card ×3]

His Soul Power had risen by one level. That was certainly worth celebrating.

But Xu Yuan's attention fell on the second reward.

Soul Spirit Cards... were they the Soul Spirits he was thinking of?

With a sweep of his gaze, the detailed information on the reward appeared.

[Soul Spirit Card]

[Type: Bestowal Conversion Item (Four-Star)]

[Effect: After use, lock onto any soul beast and convert it into a "Companion Soul Spirit." CD: 30 days.]

[Note: As long as the soul remains undying, the path to eternal life remains!]

Xu Yuan: "!!!"

Damn, it really was this thing.

It was similar to the Spirit Pagoda's effects during the Douluo II era, but...

Judging by the description, it seemed to have a 100% success rate.

That alone put it countless times above the Spirit Pagoda. Its only drawback was the long cooldown.

A one-month item cooldown was quite a wait.

Of course.

Part of the reason why a four-star Soul Spirit Card could surpass the Spirit Pagoda was that Huo Gua's Spirit Pagoda had been too hastily established and never perfected...

Looking at it this way...

Whether it was the Pathetic Wretch from the Douluo I era or the Tang God King from the Douluo II era, both were cancers of the Douluo Universe.

Besides.

Since a treasure like the Soul Spirit Card could appear.

Perhaps Xu Yuan would obtain the Spirit Pagoda in the future and transform the entire soul master world.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuan stood up.

These two newly obtained rewards had changed his plans going forward.

Then...

It was time to set out for the Lake of Life.
