The Death Spider Emperor's Death, Perfect Fusion of the External Soul Bone - Bonus Update for 800 Average Subscriptions

Time slipped by unnoticed; the sun rose and the moon set, and two days had passed in the blink of an eye.

A rustling sound of creatures moving could be heard.

It was pitch black, as if it were the embodiment of darkness itself. Wherever it passed, the already malnourished and withered trees and grass withered away and died completely.

The Death Spider Emperor enhances its cultivation by devouring, possessing near-extreme levels of poison and death power that can be considered the nemesis of all living beings.

It has a keen sense of the power of death, and not far ahead, it sensed the aura of a large number of living beings dying.

If it could devour the death energy of that area, it felt it had a chance to become Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Shh! Shh!

Long, slender spider legs darted through the forest, leaving deep holes in the ground from which wisps of smoke rose.

Before me lay a dense thicket of trees, the trees obscuring the view ahead.

It slowly climbed up the twisted branches, peering through the gaps in the tree trunks at the treasure trove ahead.

It was a vast, empty land, with fallen trees and tumbling sand and stones, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had taken place there.

In the very center of the open space, a young man sat cross-legged, three purple Soul Ring swirling rhythmically around his body.

The Third Soul Ring at the top is the most peculiar, its entire body smooth and translucent, possessing a crystal-like texture, exuding nobility and mystery.

Soul Ring resembling Amethyst floated above the youth's body, expanding and contracting with his every breath, emitting faint fluctuations of Soul Power.

Greed and desire gleamed in the eyes of the Death Spider Emperor's abdomen. It no longer paid attention to the mysteriously dead Soul Beast beside the young man. What it once considered a gluttonous feast paled in comparison to the deadly allure emanating from the young man.

The Death Spider Emperor had a premonition that if it devoured the creature sitting there, it could not only break through its limits, but its bloodline might also undergo a leap forward. This was simply an opportunity bestowed upon it by heaven.

Faced with such a golden opportunity, the Death Spider Emperor was not in a hurry, but patiently watched over the young man.

As a Soul Beast that has survived in the Death Canyon, the Death Spider Emperor's intelligence may not be as advanced as that of an adult human, but it certainly possesses the wisdom of a child of a few years old, after all, it is among the top-tier Soul Beast.

As a hunter, patience is essential; if you act recklessly, you are very likely to lose your life.

Another sunrise and sunset passed, and after confirming that no other creatures appeared except for the young man before him, the Death Spider Emperor could no longer suppress the desire that came from the depths of its bloodline and from its very origin. Its eight spider legs suddenly compressed, and then it lunged towards the young man in the open space not far away.

Soaring through the sky, its pitch-black body reflected not a single ray of light, like an abyss that devoured light. Its sharp spider legs gleamed with a cold light, and suddenly stabbed towards the youth's neck.

At the same time, a large, black net, carrying a pungent, fishy odor, shot out from its tail and enveloped the youth.

"You're so patient!"

The sudden sound made the Death Spider Emperor tremble instantly, its life instinct, honed over countless years, frantically urging it to run.

However, at this moment, its body was flying high in the sky, and it had no way to hide.

An aged hand, covered in pale golden Soul Power, reached out from the side, its five fingers spread wide, and effortlessly grasped the black net containing the bone-corroding poison in its palm. The pale golden Soul Power shield was like an unbreakable layer of glass, impervious to the spider web's corrosive power.

It permeated without even causing a ripple.

Another ancient hand, also covered in pale gold Soul Power, arrived first, ignoring the Death Spider Emperor's frantically twisting body in the air, its shrill, spraying dark green venom, and the layers upon layers of death nets it had woven. With two fingers like iron pincers, it firmly clamped down on this nearly ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast.

"Its size was so small when it was weak, but its size exploded after breaking through ten thousand years. It truly lives up to its name as the Death Spider Emperor."

The aged voice carried a hint of admiration, yet the movements of his hands did not falter at all; he merely exerted slight force with two fingers.

Pfft!

With a muffled thud, dark green fluid mixed with shattered carapace splattered everywhere. A top-tier Soul Beast with nearly ten thousand years of cultivation perished silently, without even a chance to struggle.

With a casual toss, the remains of the Death Spider Emperor were thrown into the horde of Soul Beast corpses. Apart from the Purple Soul Ring gradually condensing on its body, it looked no different from the other corpses.

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook the spider fluid off his hands. Fortunately, he had used his Soul Power to block it when he attacked. Otherwise, although the Death Spider Emperor's venom could not penetrate his powerful body forged with his abundant Qi and Blood, having some unknown liquid stuck to his hands was still quite unpleasant.

Looking at Tang Shan, whose breathing was steady, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad, you've successfully absorbed it. That's great. I just wonder what kind of Soul Skill this Golden Behemoth will give you?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall Tang Shan's two Soul Skills that shouldn't have appeared at the Thousand-Year Soul Ring stage, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression became somewhat tense.

The invisible Soul Power dissipated, and the Death Spider Emperor's Thousand-Year Soul Ring, which had not been absorbed, disintegrated over time, turning into the Heaven and Earth Essence, and reintegrating into the cycle of heaven and earth.

Subconsciously, Golden Crocodile Douluo's gaze fell on the Death Spider Emperor again, his expression unreadable.

"Death Spider Emperor, I hope you see reality clearly. There are some things we haven't dealt with, but that doesn't mean we've given up on you." The aged voice echoed in the open space, unheard by anyone.

It took Tang Shan five days to absorb the Soul Ring. When he emerged from his long period of cultivation, it was already the morning of the sixth day.

Thick clouds and mist shrouded the area above, and even though the daylight was bright, not a single ray could penetrate into this forest.

"Hey kid, how was the haul?"

As the voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo rang out, Tang Shan subconsciously turned around and saw that the other party was playing with a small spider with six legs, struggling vigorously and emitting faint spiritual fluctuations.

Seeing Tang Shan staring curiously at the spider in his hand, Golden Crocodile Douluo casually squeezed it, and with a crackling sound, the spider, which was emitting subtle spiritual fluctuations, silently perished.

"This is the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, a top-tier evil Soul Beast. It has a dark mind and vicious methods. Be careful if you encounter it in the future."

Tang Shan's lips twitched. He didn't know whether Golden Crocodile Douluo was simply giving a reminder or had something in mind.

"How do you feel after absorbing it?"

Upon hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's question, Tang Shan closed his eyes and sensed that his bones and muscles were strong, his Soul Power was lively, his Qi and Blood were abundant, and his Mental Power was plentiful. His condition was as good as it could be.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile is in great shape."

"Good!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo praised him, but seeing the hesitation on Tang Shan's face, he asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Reflecting on their interactions over the past few years and the attitudes of the various Douluo towards him, Tang Shan felt that there was no need to hide certain things. Unless he would never use them again, they would be discovered sooner or later.

With that thought, his worries completely disappeared, and he said quite decisively, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, when I absorbed the Soul Ring, I also absorbed two External Soul Bones."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Ah, External Soul Bone, that's good."

The next moment, he suddenly realized what was happening, and in a flash, he was in front of Tang Shan: "Tang Shan, you've obtained External Soul Bone?"

Tang Shan hadn't expected Golden Crocodile Douluo to react so strongly. Upon hearing the other party's question, he nodded in affirmation.

Golden Crocodile Douluo took a deep breath, barely calming his turbulent emotions, his voice still trembling slightly. "What kind of External Soul Bone is it?"

"It's the Golden Behemoth Right Palm Bone and—"

Before Tang Shan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"It's the most powerful hand of the Golden Behemoth!"

Tang Shan could only continue to nod in affirmation.

"Okay, okay!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was excited and also looking forward to seeing what kind of terrifying power Tang Shan would unleash when he became Titled Douluo, using the Soul Skill of this External Soul Bone, and whether he could recreate the glory of Golden Behemoth tearing apart a true dragon.

Di Tian! Do you have any manners?!

Gu Yue?! Have you gotten too cocky, or has the Silver Dragon King lost his grip on the spear?!

"Kid, I'll use my pressure to help you fuse right now."

Tang Shan had no choice but to gather his Soul Power in his palm as required by Golden Crocodile Douluo.

An invisible and formless, immense pressure suddenly descended, as if an ancient divine mountain had crushed it.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had a clear understanding of Tang Shan's ability to withstand pressure, and immediately unleashed Soul Power pressure of up to level 55.

Boom!

An invisible pressure enveloped his entire body. Faced with the Soul Power pressure that even ordinary Soul King would have to exert all their strength and be drenched in sweat to barely resist, Tang Shan only slightly rippled his Soul Power, and the mountain-like pressure receded like a tide, silently dissolving into nothingness.

Part of the reason for this is that his Self-Deity Martial Soul has perfectly fused with his body and undergone Second Awakening, gradually becoming inhuman in terms of withstanding pressure. Of course, the most important factor is undoubtedly Tang Shan's incredibly strong physical condition at this moment.

Afraid.

Having absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Behemoth Soul Ring, his endurance Limit was now firmly at the Soul Emperor level. Let alone level fifty-five, he could withstand even if Golden Crocodile Douluo directly pushed him to level sixty.

As time went on, the pressure increased at an alarming rate, the air crackled and popped, and cracks spread across the ground. However, before the pressure could reach the Limit that Tang Shan's body could withstand, his right-hand Soul Bone gave way first.

With a resounding clang like metal clashing, Tang Shan felt a scorching heat in his right palm. Then, streams of heat, centered on his right palm, swept through his limbs and bones like surging magma. Wherever they passed, bones crackled and popped, muscle fibers vibrated wildly, and all the major tissues and cells in his body were strengthened and reshaped by this domineering heat, undergoing subtle transformations.

With a crisp sound of flesh tearing, five sharp claws, each about a foot long and gleaming with a chilling light, suddenly emerged from Tang Shan's fingertips.

Perhaps it was its first display, but its claws were incredibly sharp, piercing Tang Shan's flesh directly, and bright red blood splattered on this gloomy land.
