Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Qi Dao stepped forward to offer his congratulations.

"Congratulations, senior, on fusing with the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider! Your strength is now greatly enhanced."

Dugu Yan stood up and looked at Qi Dao with eyes as clear as autumn water.

"Adao, thanks to you, otherwise I would not have obtained such a top-grade external soul bone."

Qi Dao smiled and said, "There's no need for us to be so formal."

Dugu Yan nodded, but still moved closer to Qi Dao. A fragrant breeze wafted over, and her pink lips lightly touched Qi Dao's lips.

Qi Dao immediately felt a slightly moist and sweet sensation.

Before he could even savor the moment, Dugu Yan had already smiled and parted ways with him.

With a smile on her face, which was both spirited and charming, she said, "Ah Dao, this is the only way I can thank you. I hope you won't mind."

"Of course not!"

Qi Dao grinned, but his heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.

Although Dugu Yan's appearance is slightly inferior to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, and even slightly inferior to Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, her sincerity makes Qi Dao's heart flutter.

Looking back carefully, it has been eight years since he met Dugu Yan.

From initially participating in the Great Soul Arena together, experiencing hundreds of battles of varying sizes, to later sparring, training, and traveling together.

Although the two did not have any particularly memorable shared experiences, the little things in their daily lives added up to a deep and subtle affection.

After Dugu Yan merged with the Eight Spider Spears, Qi Dao led her deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

With the Eight Spider Lances, Dugu Yan's goal for her sixth spirit ring became clear.

It's undoubtedly a human-faced demon spider!

Now, Dugu Yan's soul rings must either be from poison-attribute soul beasts or from dragon-type soul beasts with extremely strong bloodlines.

If you were to choose a poison-attribute soul beast, the Human-Faced Demon Spider would undoubtedly be one of the best targets.

Not only can it kill the creature and absorb its soul ring, but it can also absorb its blood essence with the Eight Spider Lances to evolve the Eight Spider Lances.

The emperor in the original novel, the Human-Faced Demon Spider, had a cultivation level of 50,000 years.

Qi Dao and Dugu Yan searched the Star Dou Great Forest for three more days until a human-faced demon spider with a diameter of about three meters came into their sight.

This human-faced spider was not much larger than the previous two-thousand-year-old Destiny Human-faced Spider, but the aura it exuded was completely different from the previous one.

Its carapace is not black, but rather a strange dark gold color, without any patterns.

Qi Dao immediately recognized it.

It is the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, which is 50,000 years old.

Dugu Yan's fifth soul ring was already 20,000 years old. Now that she has reached level 60 and absorbed three soul bones, and has also consumed a lot of high-quality body-tempering herbs over the years, absorbing a 50,000-year soul ring is naturally not a problem.

Besides the immortal herbs and poisonous herbs, Dugu Bo's herb garden naturally wouldn't be left idle with the other top-quality herbs.

In particular, Qi Dao also obtained Chrysanthemum Douluo's Immortal Herb Record, which recorded information on the medicinal effects of various herbs. Otherwise, in the past, Dugu Bo would not have dared to let Dugu Yan take the herbs from the herb garden.

Qi Dao asked Dugu Yan, "Senior, what do you think of this 50,000-year-old human-faced demon spider?"

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "This one will do!"

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Qi Dao's eyes. He raised his fingers, and the Peerless Sword flew out from his spine and landed in his palm.

The next second, a sword was swung out.

The fifth of the Six Swords of Supremacy: So close yet so far!

Wherever the god reaches, the sword will follow.

This sword strike disregarded distance and folded space; as Qi Dao's gaze swept over it, the sword's edge suddenly vanished.

Above the Human-Faced Spider Emperor, a dark gold longsword appeared without warning and slashed down at its body.

Before the human-faced spider could even react, a third of its body had been sliced ​​off by a single sword strike. It was only thanks to the powerful vitality of a 50,000-year-old soul beast that it did not die immediately.

Then Qi Dao's brow lit up, and a blue triangular object flew out, emitting a blue halo.

Vast Ocean Universe Cover skill, Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Cover.

Qi Dao's mental strength was already extremely strong, and now, combined with the Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Shield, he directly controlled the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, rendering him unable to move.

"Senior, let's go kill this human-faced spider!"

"good!"

Without any hesitation, Dugu Yan unleashed her martial spirit, delivering a full-force blow to the Human-Faced Demon Spider King.

The Human-Faced Demon Spider King was already on the verge of death after suffering Qi Dao's sword strike. Now, it was controlled by Qi Dao's Vast Ocean Mind-Stabilizing Shield to withstand Dugu Yan's full-force attack, so it could only ascend to heaven on the spot.

A black spirit ring also condensed on its corpse.

Qi Dao, standing not far away, laughed and said, "Senior, don't rush to absorb the soul ring. Doesn't the Eight Spider Lances have a devouring ability? This Human-Faced Demon Spider is the king among Human-Faced Demon Spiders. If you devour its essence, it might be very beneficial to you."

Dugu Yan nodded, then walked to the corpse of the Human-Faced Spider King. Eight spider legs, shimmering with metallic luster, shot out from her back and then pierced into the body of the Human-Faced Spider King.

As soon as the Eight Spider Lances came into contact with the white liquid inside the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, which resembled blood, they immediately began to devour it frantically, as if they had encountered some great tonic.

Soon, the body of the Human-Faced Spider King rapidly withered, while Dugu Yan's pretty face showed more pain and ferocity.

At the same time, the purplish-black eight spider spears gradually turned white, and the aura they emitted became increasingly chilling.

Clearly, the Eight Spider Lances are undergoing some kind of evolution.

This process did not last long, as the body of the Human-Faced Spider King had completely withered.

Dugu Yan's expression gradually softened.

Qi Dao asked with concern, "Senior, how are you feeling now?"

Dugu Yan let out a long breath, her face showing joy and excitement.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Not only am I unharmed, but because I absorbed the essence of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, my Eight Spider Spears have also evolved."

Originally, Dugu Yan could have given the Eight Spider Spears a new name, but later, Qi Dao casually mentioned it, and Dugu Yan felt that the name Eight Spider Spears was quite suitable for the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, so she continued to use this name.

"What changes have occurred?" Qi Dao asked.

"After I release the Eight Spider Lances, the 50% boost to all my attributes remains unchanged, but they become sharper and their attack and jumping abilities are greatly enhanced."

"In addition, the Eight Spider Spears originally contained the neurotoxin of the Human-Faced Demon Spider. However, because the Eight Spider Spears were produced by the two-thousand-year-old Human-Faced Demon Spider, the neurotoxin was not strong. But after absorbing the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor's essence, its venom was even extremely threatening to Soul Saints."

"If it can be combined with my Azure Phosphorus Toxin to form a mixed toxin, it could even pose a threat to Contra."

"Of course, this is just theory. To pose a threat to a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level, one would have to break through the Soul Douluo's skin and allow the toxin to enter their body."

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao smiled and said, "That's already quite impressive."

Dugu Yan smiled and said, "That's true."

After saying that, she sat down again and began to absorb the soul ring of the Human-Faced Spider King.

Once a spirit ring is formed, it can only last for one hour. If it is not absorbed within one hour, it will automatically dissipate.

Several hours after Dugu Yan began absorbing the soul ring of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, her body trembled, and a surge of soul power spread out from her body.

At the same time, six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—rose from beneath her feet.

She successfully absorbed it!
