He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Lu Changsheng finally discovered the secret of the Heavenly Thief!

We've finally discovered the great opportunity hidden inside this cave!

A Taiyin Ninglu fruit that is not yet fully mature.

However, at the same time, it also faces the greatest danger to date.

Crisis! Crisis!

Danger and opportunity coexist; in other words, opportunity is often accompanied by danger.

The world's rare and precious things are only obtainable by those with the right destiny, and many are guarded by ferocious beasts, suppressed in perilous places, and surrounded by strange poisons.

Before anyone could turn around, they felt a surge of demonic energy and the oppressive aura of the tenth level of the Golden Core realm erupting from behind them.

The presence of demonic energy indicates that the person behind him is not a human cultivator, but a wild demon race!

A peak Golden Core cultivator at the tenth level is far beyond the capabilities of those in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.

Dead end!

A certain death trap!!

No wonder that a mere bandit like Tongtian could produce three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

No wonder Qiu Rang looked into the depths of the cave before he died; he was pleading for help from the great demon inside!

No wonder Lu Changsheng slaughtered all three hundred-plus bandits of the Tongtian Thief and didn't show himself even though the great demon lurking in the cave was protecting the even more precious Taiyin Dew Fruit!

The truth has come out!

The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.

Now, there's no way to leave.

Under the overwhelming demonic aura and terrifying pressure, Princess Taiping and Mo Rou were both so frightened that their faces turned pale, their bodies stiffened, and they dared not even move a finger.

Only Lu Changsheng, over eighty years old, had seen countless deaths and was fearless:

"I was unaware of your presence, senior. I apologize for disturbing you!"

As he spoke, Lu Changsheng slowly turned around and looked in the direction of the voice at the great demon guarding the Taiyin Dew Fruit.

Um? ?

How could there be none?

But when Lu Changsheng turned around and looked behind him, he found nothing.

I saw neither people nor demons.

this......

"You've got some nerve, lad, and you're quite cunning too. Too bad you're too old; your flesh's gone too fast, you're not good for eating anymore!"

"Unlike those two young girls, who are in their prime, with tender flesh, they are the most delicious!"

The eerie sound rang out again. Lu Changsheng squinted and, using the dim light inside the cave, finally located the source of the sound.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he involuntarily took several steps back, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.

This great demon was a spider, its size comparable to a carriage, its entire body a semi-transparent dark brown, as if condensed from the condensed cold air of the Taiyin Condensed Dew Fruit.

At this moment, the enormous spider demon lay lurking on the dark rock wall, almost blending into the surrounding mountain rocks. If one did not look closely following the sound, one would only think it was a protruding rock.

boom! !

The discovered spider demon suddenly kicked off with its eight long spider legs, and its huge body, as large as a carriage, instantly sprang up and leaped to the front of the Taiyin Condensation Fruit, appearing in front of everyone, allowing Lu Changsheng and the others to see its full appearance.

The spider demon has eight eyes, each one resembling a murky white eyeball without a pupil, radiating a deathly, eerie light.

The enormous pincers were extremely sharp, covered with dense barbs, and each tip was dripping with dark green venom. When the venom dripped onto the solid rock, it directly corroded the rock, producing a sizzling sound and emitting puffs of thick smoke.

Eight long, slender spider legs gleamed with a cold light. They moved silently, and with just a little effort, they could lift a body the size of a carriage and bounce freely, as if they could borrow strength from the void.

Its chelicerae are huge, covered with barbs, and have extremely strong attack power!

Its metallic shell is indestructible and has extremely strong defensive capabilities!

With eight spider legs, it possesses exceptional jumping ability, is extremely agile, and incredibly fast!

Demons are born with extremely strong bodies, and their defense and speed are astonishing.

Even among cultivators of the same level, most human cultivators are no match for the demon race unless they comprehend the legendary Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The spider demon in front of us has the cultivation of the tenth level of the Golden Core stage. Not to mention dealing with cultivators like Lu Changsheng who are at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, it can easily crush even human cultivators at the early Nascent Soul stage!

Dead end!

A certain death trap!!

Clang!

Mo Rou's flying sword fell to the ground. The moment she saw the spider demon, she was so frightened that she turned pale and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Of the three, Mo Rou had the highest cultivation level, but the worst temperament.

In contrast, Princess Taiping, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, gripped her flying sword even tighter after a brief moment of fear and astonishment.

What about Lu Changsheng?

Having seen the enemy clearly, he felt relieved, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Lu Changsheng, you...you can still laugh!"

In this critical moment, Mo Rou abandoned her usual allure and even addressed Lu Changsheng by his full name, no longer lying about calling him "Master."

"You've ruined this girl! Why did you come back after you ran away?"

"Do you know what kind of monster this is? It's the Yin Poison Spider, the companion creature of the Yin Dew Fruit!!"

Before Lu Changsheng could speak, Princess Taiping beside him pointed her longsword directly at Mo Rou's throat and reprimanded her:

"Shut up! If you dare disrespect your senior again, I'll kill you first! Since I'm going to die anyway, you can try!!"

"..."

Lu Changsheng glared fiercely at Mo Rou, but didn't bother arguing with this big-breasted, brainless woman.

It turns out that this great demon is called the Taiyin Poison Spider, which is quite a fitting name.

The spider demon that accompanies the Taiyin Dew Fruit is also highly poisonous.

Then, with his hands behind his back and a slight smile playing on his lips, he bowed respectfully to the Yin Poison Spider before him and spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"Since you discovered this Taiyin Dew Fruit first, it naturally belongs to you. We will now leave and promise not to reveal a single word about this matter to anyone."

"What is your opinion, senior?"

Upon hearing this, the eight long legs of the Taiyin Poison Spider in front of them trembled violently, and as it chewed, it made a chilling and terrifying sound that made one's hair stand on end.

"You old codger, you've got a good heart, you can still laugh."

"Either way, I'm going to die, so what's there to laugh about? Besides, I'm already this old, what do I have to fear?"

Lu Changsheng waved his sleeve, completely unconcerned.

Dealing with the Yin Poison Spider wasn't out of genuine hope that it would let him off the hook, but rather to buy time.

Lu Changsheng divided his spiritual power into two streams: one flowed into the Netherworld in front of his chest, and the other gathered deep in his dantian and poured into the silent Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

At the same time, Princess Taiping sensed something and poured all her spiritual power into her sea of ​​consciousness. The lotus mark between her eyebrows reappeared, lifelike.

Only Mo Rou, that foolish woman, looked at Lu Changsheng with disdain, thinking to herself how could this old man be so naive, and that she had really misjudged him.

Monsters love to eat people, especially human cultivators, whose flesh and blood contain spiritual energy that is beneficial to their cultivation.

If begging for mercy could save one's life, why would humans and demons have been fighting for millions of years?

This is a battle for survival, to the death!

"Hehehe~ But killing you will still keep the secret, and it will only be kept better!"

The Taiyin Poison Spider let out a sharp and piercing laugh. The reason it was willing to show itself was to torment Lu Changsheng and the others to death.

Otherwise, before Lu Changsheng and the others could react, he would have struck with lightning speed, killing and dismembering them all!

Guarding the Taiyin Dew Fruit for over a hundred years is too boring and tedious!

Now that three willing victims have finally arrived, we should enjoy them thoroughly before harvesting them.

"How about this: the three of you kill each other, and the one who survives will be released by this demon!"

As soon as Taiyin Poison Spider finished speaking, Mo Rou calmly raised her flying sword from the ground and then put on a cold face.

Of the three, she was the only one at the Foundation Establishment stage, and she also possessed a secret treasure given to her by Qian Feng. If they really fought...

She'll definitely be the one to survive!

"If that's how you put it, then it's meaningless!"

Lu Changsheng glared at Mo Rou, who was about to attack. This stupid woman was so naive as to believe the words of a demon beast.

"We are all disciples of Shangyun Heavenly Palace. If we all perish here, the sect will definitely send elders to thoroughly investigate this matter!"

"By then, will the secret of the Lunar Dew Fruit still be able to be kept?!"

"Or are you saying that you, a mere Golden Core stage demon, are confident you can defeat the entire Upper Cloud Heavenly Palace?!"

Upon hearing this, the Taiyin Poison Spider's body began to tremble violently, its eight round little eyes darting around incessantly.

Lu Changsheng is right, but if we let them go, the secret will be exposed too!

The Taiyin Dew Fruit is so precious that no one can resist its temptation.

Moreover, the words of human cultivators are the least trustworthy!

"Then you..."

The Yin Poison Spider completely lost its patience, and as it spoke, its eight small eyes simultaneously lit up with an eerie red light:

"Go to hell, all of you!!"

In an instant, countless tiny runes flew around, and eight strange red beams of light shot out, heading towards Lu Changsheng and the other two!

Taiyin's Bone-Corroding Light!

Of the eight beams of light, three were aimed at Lu Changsheng, three at Princess Taiping, and only two at Mo Rou.

Although Mo Rou was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with the highest cultivation level and strength, the Taiyin Poison Spider was at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Naturally, he could sense that Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping posed a greater threat to him!

Swish swish! !

Three beams of light simultaneously shot towards Lu Changsheng, Princess Taiping, and Mo Rou.

The three drew their swords and used all their skills to block the first beam of light, but they were all seriously injured and their spiritual energy was exhausted.

"Senior, I will do my best to hold this demon off for a moment, and you can take the opportunity..."

Before Princess Taiping could finish speaking, the second wave of attacks was already upon them, and the three of them had already exhausted their spiritual energy.

Swish swish! !

As the second beam of light struck, a small tower engulfed in flames appeared before Mo Rou.

As soon as the small tower appeared, it also unleashed the pressure of the early Golden Core stage.

The Crimson Flame Tower was a life-saving item that Qian Feng gave to Mo Rou. Normally, even when facing a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, Mo Rou would be able to protect herself.

This is the fundamental reason why Mo Rou dared to undertake this mission. Previously, when Lu Changsheng was in danger several times, Mo Rou was reluctant to use him.

Now that I'm in danger, I didn't hesitate to pull it out; saving my life is the most important thing!

How could the Crimson Flame Tower, which could withstand attacks from early-stage Golden Core cultivators, possibly withstand attacks from a tenth-level Golden Core demon?

Click!

boom! !

The Crimson Flame Tower shattered, but the residual power of the Taiyin Bone-Devouring Light remained undiminished, blasting into Mo Rou's body.

Mo Rou coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, and it was unclear whether she was dead or alive.

Swish! !

The second Taiyin Bone-Corroding Light, aimed at Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping, arrived simultaneously. At this moment, neither of them had the strength to fight anymore, and they were on the verge of losing their lives.

The Abyss Face condensed a black spiritual energy barrier in front of Lu Changsheng. After neutralizing the second Taiyin Bone-Corroding Light, cracks appeared in the barrier.

Meanwhile, the lotus mark between Princess Taiping's eyebrows also emitted boundless divine light, resisting the second Taiyin bone-corroding light, after which Princess Taiping's body swayed precariously.

Swish! !

Without giving the two a chance to catch their breath, the third Taiyin Bone-Corroding Light attacked again.

Click!

boom! !

The protective light barrier shattered, the surface of the abyss fell into complete silence, and the lotus mark also vanished.

Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping both fell to the ground, unable to get up, their fate unknown.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great. Even though the Netherworld Face and the Lotus Mark were extraordinary, Lu Changsheng and Princess Taiping were unable to unleash the energy contained within them.

Not to mention that the Taiyin Bone-Corroding Light was only the first wave of attacks launched by the Taiyin Poison Spider, and it hadn't even used its spider venom yet.

"Crunch crunch~"

"Trying to break a rock with an egg? That's suicide!!"

The Taiyin Poison Spider's eight small eyes darted around, then it pushed off with its eight small legs, its carriage-sized body charging straight towards Lu Changsheng and the others.

"Having eaten these three human cultivators, I must hurry and leave with the Taiyin Dew Fruit, otherwise, once the people from Shangyun Palace come looking for me, this demon will not be able to escape..."

Swish! !

Before the Taiyin Poison Spider could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. Then, the small, pitch-black cauldron swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a giant over a hundred meters tall, filling the entire cave.

The Taiyin Poison Spider was still in mid-air, and before it could react to what was happening, the enormous Devouring Cauldron spewed out a torrent of black mist.

Then, the black mist enveloped the Taiyin Poison Spider's body and swallowed it whole...
