Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 946 - 854: Soul-devouring Steel Spider (Part 2)

"What a hard skull!"Everyone gasped, and their minds started to work.

"Everyone, immediately use your swords to pierce the spider's abdomen, then attack its head!"

At this moment, Tang Chaoyang had already come up with a plan.

Upon hearing Tang Chaoyang's command, everyone immediately controlled their flying swords, stabbing them into the spider's abdomen.

When everyone's flying swords pierced through the giant spider's abdomen, a powerful energy blocked the swords from going any further.

Everyone took a deep breath and quickly summoned other flying swords from their storage rings, infusing them with primordial power before controlling the additional swords to attack the giant spider together.

The giant spider sensed danger and immediately dug into the ground with its eight legs.

Soon, a huge pit appeared on the ground, and the giant spider's body shrank and slipped underground.

They originally wanted to prevent the giant spider from escaping, but once it drilled underground, it soon disappeared into the underground fissures and then into the depths, merging with the powerful death forces there.

Everyone took advantage of the moment before the spider had fully disappeared into the depths to retrieve their flying swords, and after seeing the spider flee, they sighed in relief.

Though this battle hadn't completely eliminated that giant spider,

at least for now, they knew that the giant spider's body had a vulnerability.

Tang Chaoyang, leading the other elders, had driven the giant spider away, and he let out a breath.

"We must leave Wanshi Mountain immediately!"

Tang Chaoyang commanded.

"Alright!"

The other elders quickly joined him in leaving Wanshi Mountain.

Tang Chaoyang, having experienced several battles, had consumed nearly half of his primordial power.

He hadn't ventured deep into Wanshi Mountain; he didn't know how many terrifying demons awaited him inside.

He didn't want his disciples to take risks inside; he needed all the sect elders to recuperate and restore their primordial power.

An hour later, he led the group out of Wanshi Mountain, distributing restorative elixir pills to each elder and disciple.

Two hours later, all the elders and disciples had returned to their peak state.

Tang Chaoyang immediately summoned Duan Gujin, as he wanted to know what that giant spider was.

"If I'm not mistaken, that giant spider should be the ancient fierce beast known as the Soul-devouring Steel Spider. Sect leader, have you heard of this ancient fierce beast?"

Duan Gujin had indeed forgotten where he had read similar records; he was only speculating based on some characteristics he had seen in the giant spider.

"Soul-devouring Steel Spider, the name is quite fitting, though I haven't seen it devour souls. If I could witness it firsthand, that would be great. Do you know if this fierce beast has any weaknesses?"

Tang Chaoyang asked.

"This fierce beast's body is robust; to breach its body, there might only be one way, which is to target its weakest part, the abdomen! I think the sect leader tried that earlier! It should have soul-devouring capabilities. Sect leader, in future battles with it, you must avoid close combat!"

"Oh, I understand! Thank you very much!"

Tang Chaoyang expressed his gratitude.

"Sect leader, you're too kind. This Wanshi Mountain is very peculiar, and I have a bad premonition in my heart! I hope that the sect leader will be extremely cautious in future activities at Wanshi Mountain!"

Duan Gujin advised tactfully.

"I feel the same; Wanshi Mountain is quite strange! The demons appearing here today have never been seen before. This is my first time seeing the Nine-colored Corpse Worm and such a large and eerie spider!"

Reflecting on everything that had happened, even the experienced Tang Chaoyang felt a lingering fear.

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, knowing that his cultivation was merely at the Martial Saint Second Level, while the giant spider he'd seen was at the Shattering Void Fifth Realm!

If he were to fight against the giant spider, he wouldn't stand a chance; he'd have to use space escape techniques to flee quickly.

Their combat power was vastly different, making it impossible for him to devise a way to deal with the giant spider.

Fortunately, he didn't feel the urgency to confront the giant spider.

"I think our best approach is to advance step by step, not to rush things! We must first understand the situation here!"

Duan Gujin suggested.

"Yes!"

Tang Chaoyang nodded quickly, realizing that they couldn't proceed without Duan Gujin leading the way.

If Duan Gujin were absent, they wouldn't be able to deal with the corpses controlled by the Nine-colored Corpse Worm.

Tang Chaoyang's eyes glimmered, as he asked, "Do you know how long you can stay in the Chaotic Ancient Continent?"

Duan Gujin understood that Tang Chaoyang wanted to know how long he would remain with the team.

He chuckled, saying, "Sect leader, rest assured, as long as Ascension Academy hasn't officially started classes, I'll be training in the Chaotic Ancient Continent, and helping the sect leader deal with demons here is an honor for me!"

Tang Chaoyang was delighted and hastily said, "You're too kind! Since you're willing to stay and help, I'll reward you with a hundred Holy Origin Divine Pills as a token of appreciation!"

Duan Gujin's face slightly changed, knowing the value of the Holy Origin Divine Pill, and he hurriedly said, "Sect leader, you're far too generous; I won't over-request the sect leader's Holy Origin Divine Pills. I'll only use them to restore primordial power, and if the battle ends quickly, I'll return the excess pills to the sect leader."

"Young hero, you're too modest; we in the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect can certainly afford a hundred Holy Origin Divine Pills, so take them!"

Tang Chaoyang waved it off.

"Then I'll humbly accept!"

Duan Gujin could only bow in thanks.

A moment later, Tang Chaoyang called over an elder and gave Duan Gujin a hundred Holy Origin Divine Pills.

Tang Chaoyang did this because he knew they couldn't proceed in Wanshi Mountain without Duan Gujin.

Dealing with one giant spider was already challenging, and if the Nine-colored Corpse Worms suddenly appeared and surrounded them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If Duan Gujin remained with them, the Nine-colored Corpse Worms wouldn't be able to control the corpses to attack.

Just like the previous battle, if not for the giant spider retreating, they felt they might have had a chance to defeat it.

This time, Tang Chaoyang led a group of over a hundred elders with Duan Gujin into Wanshi Mountain.

Tang Chaoyang knew it was dangerous to act within Wanshi Mountain, so he didn't bring along the other core disciples.

It was a critical moment of life and death, not a simple training session.

Tang Chaoyang didn't want any losses to his core disciples.

The elders of the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect were deeply impressed by how Duan Gujin, merely at the Martial Saint Second Level, could restore death to corpses controlled by the Nine-colored Corpse Worms.

Although Duan Gujin hadn't exerted effort along the way, everyone knew that without him on this venture to Wanshi Mountain, they'd face many more corpses.

Soon, the group entered Wanshi Mountain.

Tang Chaoyang continued along the path they'd previously taken, advancing further into Wanshi Mountain. Though they'd traveled several kilometers, they found no signs of activity.

The group felt puzzled, as they couldn't understand why they previously encountered two Nine-colored Corpse Worms and a giant spider within just a dozen kilometers.

Yet now, after advancing several tens of kilometers, they found no activity around them.

Their Divine Sense extended outward, but they couldn't find any corpses.

"Unbelievable! Previously, we faced tides of corpses sweeping over us, but this time we've not even seen a mosquito!"

The group was full of doubts, unable to understand why Wanshi Mountain had suddenly become so quiet.

"Could it be that after the giant spider hid, the Nine-colored Corpse Worms followed suit?"

After pondering momentarily, the group considered this possibility.
