Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 42 Subduing the Spider Demon, Mortal Killing Immortal

In a moment of desperation, Yang Jian only had time to take out the magical artifact hidden at his waist to block the attack.

"Bang!"

The attacks collided, producing a piercing sound.

The violent spiritual energy dissipated, and the tent instantly shattered into pieces.

"So it was you!"

The mountain king looked at Yang Jian with surprise, and when he caught sight of the yellow jade ruyi in Yang Jian's hand, a hint of fear flashed in all eight of his eyes.

When the segmented limb he had just struck hit the jade ruyi, he suddenly felt a surge of violent spiritual power. The segmented limb was cracked inch by inch, and green blood seeped out.

At this moment, he felt his whole body trembling and was terrified of the magic weapon in Yang Jian's hand.

"What kind of magic weapon is that?!"

Yang Jian held a pale yellow jade ruyi in his hand, with a dragon shape as the jade body and a tiger shape as the jade leaves.

Infused with magical power, it appeared as if it were alive.

It was a jade ruyi scepter shaped like a dragon and tiger.

After infusing it with magical power, the jade ruyi in his hand suddenly became extremely heavy, and with each swing, ripples were squeezed out of the air.

"this?"

Yang Jian brandished the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi in his hand, casually saying, "This is the back scratcher of Jinling Shengmu, one of the true disciples of the Shangqing Sage. Scared now? Get lost, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll flatten you with my next strike!"

"The Holy Mother of Golden Spirits!"

The mountain king's eight eyes shifted in expression: "You were the one who said Wen Zhong was a disciple of the Golden Spirit Mother, and now you're holding her magical artifact. What is your relationship with Wen Zhong?!"

If the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit can bestow such a powerful magic weapon, why didn't Wen Zhong use it to attack the city?

If that's the case, then the barbarians' surrender might be a trap.

"Guess! If you guess right, I'll tell you!"

Yang Jian smiled.

"Whoosh~"

A piercing sound came from behind.

It turned out that the mountain lord had taken advantage of Yang Jian's distraction while he was talking to launch a sneak attack.

Yang Jian, however, let go, as if he were about to be pierced by the spider's segments.

A hint of doubt flashed in the mountain king's eight eyes.

However, the dragon and tiger jade ruyi did not fall to the ground as expected.

Instead, it automatically blocks the path of the approaching limbs.

After Yang Jian used the magic weapon, a message suddenly appeared in his mind: the instruction manual for using the magic weapon, thoughtfully prepared by the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit.

The Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi, as a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, has the ability to automatically protect its owner.

All you need to do is infuse your magic power; you don't need to worry about anything else.

The two magical treasures she gave him, the Dragon-Tiger Ruyi and the Flying Golden Sword, one for offense and one for defense, worked together perfectly, which shows how much the Golden Spirit Mother valued Yang Jian.

However, Yang Jian only chose the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi because, in the Demon Eye, this magic weapon had the strongest spiritual power, while the Flying Golden Sword was full of murderous aura, which Yang Jian could not easily control.

"Bang!"

The violent recoil sent the giant spider's body flying.

Green blood was splashed in the air.

That spider is really stupid. It clearly knows that it can't resist this magic weapon at all, yet it still tries to launch a sneak attack.

Yang Jian inwardly mocked her for overestimating herself, and casually untied the spider silk from Su Daji's body, intending to help her stand up.

However, Su Daji had lost too much blood and her legs were weak, so she could not stand up and could only lean on Yang Jian.

"How come you have the magical artifact of the Golden Spirit Mother?"

Even though she was completely weak, Su Daji forced herself to ask the question.

Yang Jian was hiding something from her, which made her extremely uneasy.

"Oh, Grand Tutor Wen said that the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit is preparing to take me as her disciple and values ​​me highly. This magic weapon was passed down to Wen Zhong by her using a great deal of magical power to protect me. When I was about to go to White Stone City with you, Grand Tutor Wen let me choose one for protection."

Why didn't you tell me!

Su Daji's words were full of astonishment.

If she had known about this earlier, she would have chosen to use this magic weapon to directly capture Yuan Futong and forcibly control his mind.

Instead of nearly ruining himself like he is now.

Yang Jian simply smiled and remained silent.

He doesn't trust Su Daji; he only trusts himself. The current cooperation is only to allow Su Daji to shield him from the power of the Demon Eye.

The two were about to leave.

A sudden roar came from behind.

The jade-colored spider had truly transformed into its original form, revealing its enormous body. Each of its limbs was thicker than a person.

Eight bright red eyes, like eight red moons in the sky.

A large net has appeared in the sky.

A giant spider crawls on its web.

"Keep Su Daji here!"

Seeing that Yang Jian was about to leave with Su Daji, she suddenly rushed towards Yang Jian.

They sprayed out strands of spider silk to block Yang Jian's path.

"Run! I've already sent a message to Meiniang. She'll be here soon with Black Tiger. Then we'll be safe."

Su Daji said anxiously.

Suddenly, Yang Jian stopped, stared at the enormous and terrifying spider, and said in a deep voice, "I want to try it myself."

After saying that, he put Su Daji aside.

He poured his magic power into the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi with all his might, and rushed towards the huge jade spider.

So what if you're a demon or an immortal? Come and try Golden Spirit Mother's back scratcher!

Holding the precious treasure, Yang Jian's courage grew naturally, showing no fear. His entire body was surging with magical power, and with each swing of the jade ruyi in his hand, it seemed as if space itself was about to be shattered.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"

The mountain lord launched a series of attacks, its tail flashing with spiritual light that transformed into countless spider webs that enveloped Yang Jian.

Following closely behind were the limbs that were stepped on.

The spider web covered an extremely wide area, and Yang Jian couldn't avoid it at his current speed.

We have no choice but to force our way in.

Yang Jian raised the jade ruyi in his hand and smashed it towards the spider web.

However, the spider web did not break as expected.

Spider webs are extremely soft; once you touch one, it's like entering a muddy swamp, and your strength is constantly being dissipated.

"Bang!"

The limbs stomped heavily on Yang Jian.

The mountain lord, however, did not feel the sensation of stepping on flesh and blood.

Yang Jian transformed into a wisp of white smoke, escaping the spider web's grasp.

Amidst the swirling smoke, he raised the jade ruyi in his hand and smashed it towards the segmented limbs that the mountain lord had trampled down before him.

bang~

The arthropods broke off instantly.

Green blood sprayed freely.

A painful wail rang out.

Seeing this, Yang Jian took the opportunity to bite the tip of his tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The blood transformed into a ball of blackish-red flame in mid-air, adhering to the remaining limbs and spreading upwards along the limbs.

"Inferno!"

A look of horror flashed across Shan Jun's eyes as he recalled the terrifying scene Yang Jian had created beneath White Stone City.

If no way is found to stop it, he will surely be burned to ashes by this karmic fire.

He then steeled his resolve, endured the pain, and used his magic to sever his limbs.

Without the support of magic power, the severed limbs could not withstand the karmic fire and instantly turned to ashes.

After a fierce struggle, the spider was left with only four of its eight limbs, the rest having been broken off due to the karmic fire it had been contaminated with.

The speed was already much slower when maneuvering.

The mountain lord looked wary and felt a sense of retreat. Even though his magical power had been greatly diminished in order to raise the seven cubs, he would not have had to transform into his original form to fight.

At this moment, he was completely powerless against the magic weapon in Yang Jian's hand. Yang Jian's strange movement technique was able to evade his attacks, and his method of turning blood into karmic fire was extremely troublesome. He had no ability to resist at all.

How could such a monster appear here?

Just as he was hesitating.

A yellow light suddenly flashed before my eyes.

Yang Jian leaped high into the air, the jade ruyi in his hand growing enormous under the infusion of magical power. He shouted, "Take this!"

The dragon and tiger jade ruyi slammed down heavily on his head.

"Bang!"

The spider's head shattered, green blood splattered, and all eight eyes burst open simultaneously.

Just when Yang Jian thought it was over, a phantom spider figure suddenly rose from his body and shot into the sky.

"It's the soul of this spider, smash it quickly."

The Demon Eye spoke up to remind them.

Yang Jian threw it with all his might, and the jade ruyi in his hand flew out with a whoosh.

The fleeing spider's soul was suddenly smashed.

A massive amount of essence surged from the corpse and was absorbed by the Demon Eye.

The demonic eye shone brightly with red light.

"I killed a demon immortal!"

Yang Jian was still somewhat incredulous as he stared at the enormous spider carcass.

He was able to kill this monster entirely thanks to the magical artifact of the Golden Spirit Mother; with his own strength, he wouldn't even be a match for it.

The Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi is incredibly powerful, indestructible, and can break anything. No wonder that in the Investiture of the Gods, the Golden Spirit Mother was able to defeat three notorious traitors from the Chan Sect with just this one magic weapon.

Yang Jian couldn't help but wonder, what was the Golden Spirit Mother's motive for making such a powerful tool meant for scratching an itch?

He quickly dismissed this absurd idea.

With a sharp weapon in hand, murderous intent arises everywhere.

He thought of Shen Gongbao's mount, the black tiger. A rift had already formed between them, and if the black tiger were to meet Shen Gongbao, who knew what kind of trouble it might cause.

Since we have such a powerful magic weapon, let's settle both old and new grudges together.

The red light in Yang Jian's demonic eye between his eyebrows grew brighter and brighter, and the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts were running wildly as he absorbed the essence he had obtained from the spider.

Today's update is complete.

Wishing everyone all the best.

Thank you for reading.

See you tomorrow morning at 8 AM.
