Torturing Two Great Spider Kings to Death! I've Got Eight Spider Lances Too!
Ye Yang was immersed in the joy of his Spiritual Power breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
He didn't particularly care that his Soul Power had broken through to 70,000 years.
But soon, the system notification sounded again:
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Evolution Points have reached 92, and your bloodline level has broken through to level 92.]
"Finally broke through. That was damn hard!"
Ye Yang was both thrilled and emotional.
During his great battle with Tang Hao last year, his bloodline had broken through to level 90, making him a Quasi-Blue Silver Emperor.
In the year and more since then, it had only risen a measly one level.
Now, he had finally reached level 92.
The basic requirement for taking human form was breaking through to level 100 and becoming a true Blue Silver Emperor.
"But in the future, do I really want to take human form?"
The question suddenly occurred to Ye Yang.
Taking human form meant cultivating again, starting over from scratch like Xiao Wu and Ah Yin.
But if he didn't take human form and continued cultivating in his Blue Silver Emperor form, his Soul Power would have to break through to one million years before he could become a Beast God!
And every time he broke through another hundred thousand years, he would have to undergo a tribulation, which carried great risks.
Of course, the most important thing about becoming a god was that he also needed a Godhood Inheritance.
There was one hole for each radish when it came to the seats of the gods.
If no god in the Divine Realm gave up their place, no matter how powerful one's cultivation was, one couldn't become a god.
Becoming a god was, in effect, an inheritance.
"Forget it. That's still a long way off. I won't think about it for now."
Ye Yang gathered his thoughts and devoted himself to devouring the Cave Demon Spider.
He didn't waste the corpse of the ten-thousand-year-old male Man Faced Demon Spider, either.
It had at least ten thousand years of cultivation, and its bloodline level was quite good too.
But he was somewhat disappointed.
The male Man Faced Demon Spider's corpse seemed to have been dead too long, its soul scattered. It didn't give Ye Yang even the slightest increase in Spiritual Power.
Its bloodline level wasn't strong enough either, so Ye Yang couldn't extract any Evolution Points from it.
Only a few hundred years of residual Soul Power offered him some consolation.
"Hm? Something's not right!"
The next moment, Ye Yang's spirits lifted as he noticed something amiss.
Most of his roots were devouring the Cave Demon Spider.
They drew out a steady stream of Soul Power, Spiritual Power, and bloodline power.
It was as though all the Cave Demon Spider's power was being devoured by Ye Yang.
Now, as Ye Yang paid close attention and sensed it with the powerful Spiritual Power of the Spirit Sea Realm, he noticed something strange.
There was another special kind of energy inside the Cave Demon Spider!
The system simply hadn't shown it.
Or rather, it was some special condensation of Soul Power, Spiritual Power, and bloodline power!
"Could it be?!"
Wild with joy, Ye Yang made a bold guess.
He stopped thinking about it and rapidly devoured the Cave Demon Spider while pounding the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen.
After spending 150,000 points, Ye Yang devoured the Cave Demon Spider thoroughly.
In just a few minutes, he had devoured it completely!
Rattle!
The Cave Demon Spider's enormous corpse instantly collapsed into gray-black powder, as though it had decayed for hundreds or thousands of years.
All its energy had been devoured by Ye Yang.
His Soul Power reached 78,000 years!
His Spiritual Power reached 622 points.
But the gap between the upper and lower limits of the Spirit Sea Realm was enormous. He needed to break through 5,000 points to enter the next level, the Spirit Abyss Realm.
His bloodline level wasn't far from level 93 either.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the Cave Demon Spider's eight-leg External Soul Bone.]
"Holy shit!"
"Ahahaha!"
Overjoyed, Ye Yang burst out laughing.
His gamble had paid off!
He had actually obtained an External Soul Bone from the Cave Demon Spider!
External Soul Bones were exceedingly rare and special Soul Bones.
In fact, they couldn't be seen before they were absorbed.
They only manifested after a human absorbed them along with a Soul Ring.
In the original story, after Tang San absorbed the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring, several bumps appeared on his back, followed by the Eight Spider Lances.
The snake-tail Soul Bone that had appeared after Ye Yang killed the Mandala Snake before-
Strictly speaking, it hadn't been a true External Soul Bone.
That was why Ye Yang had needed to refine it with his own vital essence and rely on the Blue Silver Grass's extraordinary capacity for assimilation before he could finally fuse it into his body.
But now, the Cave Demon Spider had given Ye Yang a true External Soul Bone!
In an instant, the eight leaves outside his body rapidly turned pitch-black and hard.
At the same time, they kept growing shorter and thicker.
They were rapidly evolving into Cave Demon Spider legs.
Finally, six three-meter-long legs and two two-meter-long shovel legs appeared.
They were the very image of the Cave Demon Spider's legs!
Ye Yang swung a shovel foreleg, smashing it with a boom into the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's last two secondary forelegs.
Those two legs had already been hammered hundreds and thousands of times by Ye Yang's leaf hammers. Just as dripping water wears through stone, cracks had appeared in them.
Now, they snapped with a crack!
Roar!
The Man Faced Demon Spider Queen let out a despairing roar.
It had only two and a half legs left.
The broken leg on its left, whose top half meter had been shattered by the Soul Bone Blue Silver Overlord Spear, had only a little over a meter of stump left. It hung beside its body, unable to attack anymore.
The intact leg on its right had also been reduced to half its length, and it was doing its utmost to protect its abdomen.
Broken leg armor, flesh, and leaf fragments lay scattered over a wide area of ground.
Many of them bore scorch marks, showing how fierce the battle had been.
Now, after smashing the Man Faced Demon Spider's last two secondary forelegs,
the Man Faced Demon Spider could no longer attack.
Ye Yang didn't pierce its abdomen either. Instead, he quickly withdrew his Soul Bone leaves from it.
Bang!
Overjoyed, the Man Faced Demon Spider hurriedly dropped to the ground and pressed its abdomen against it.
That way, it could free its two rearmost legs to give itself a little protection.
But Ye Yang had no intention of attacking it anymore.
Root after root burrowed underground, surging toward the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's abdomen.
It sensed the danger in the ground and had no choice but to struggle back to its feet on its last two legs, like a kangaroo.
To have its original eight legs reduced to two was truly miserable.
It watched the roots on the ground and Ye Yang's swinging leaf hammers in terror and agitation.
Lashing the more heavily armored Man Faced Demon Spider with leaves would naturally have no effect.
The dozens of leaf hammers that had just used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer could put their remaining momentum to use.
Looking at the swinging leaf hammers, it saw that its two intact secondary forelegs had been forcibly smashed full of cracks.
How could it withstand them now?
Death was inevitable.
The Man Faced Demon Spider Queen raised its head and let out a piercing, mournful shriek that shook the clouds.
Ye Yang was startled.
Holy shit, is this one cloud-piercing arrow summoning ten thousand soldiers to your side?
With no other choice, Ye Yang could only finish it off quickly.
Using his Soul Skill and Soul Bone together, he brought forth the Super Blue Silver Overlord Spear. It shot out and pierced the Man Faced Demon Spider's head from below!
Boom!
The enormous Man Faced Demon Spider Queen crashed to the ground.
[Ding! Killed a 20,000-year-old Cave Demon Spider. Karma Value with Tang San +5. Reward: 100,000 points.]
Sure enough, the Man Faced Demon Spider was extremely important to Tang San, and its Karma Value was higher than the Cave Demon Spider's.
Devouring!
A mass of roots burst out of the ground and wrapped around the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen in an instant.
The eight leaves that had fused with the Cave Demon Spider's External Soul Bone also stabbed into the Man Faced Demon Spider's abdomen!
"System, strengthen Devouring fivefold!"
[Ding! Consumed 100,000 points to strengthen Devouring fivefold. Host will devour the target at six times the speed and efficiency.] [Ding! Congratulations, host. Soul Power gained: +12+12+12+...] [Ding! Congratulations, host. Spiritual Power gained: +3+3+3+3...] [Ding! Congratulations, host. Evolution Points gained: +0.04+0.04+0.04...]
There were Evolution Points!
Soon, the system's voice sounded again:
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Evolution Points have reached a total of 93, and your bloodline level has broken through to level 93.] [Ding! Congratulations, host. Soul Power has broken through to 90,000 years.]
Ye Yang had no time to celebrate. He gathered his thoughts and focused entirely on sensing the energy.
There was that familiar feeling from devouring the Cave Demon Spider again. Another External Soul Bone!
Then Ye Yang felt more and more clearly that his Cave Demon Spider External Soul Bone was changing, evolving!
The six Cave Demon Spider legs, originally thick, short, and weak, grew stronger and sharper.
They rapidly surged from three meters to five!
The two shovels at the front also grew from two meters to three.
In effect, the Cave Demon Spider External Soul Bone had fused with the Man Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone!
"Hahaha, I've got Eight Spider Lances too!"
Ye Yang was wild with joy, but his scalp suddenly went numb as a sense of danger came over him.
He abandoned the Man Faced Demon Spider Queen's corpse, which still had a little energy left, and quickly returned to his original form.
He became a Blue Silver Grass, concealed his presence, and used several leaves to drag his body into the three-meter-wide hole the Cave Demon Spider had made earlier.
In the blink of an eye, he raced dozens of meters into the hole, then grew upward.
Just as his head emerged from the soil, he felt a terrifying presence descend from the sky!
