Chapter 731 - 725 Spider Beauty
Ghost-Faced Spider was indeed a unique member under Qin Feng’s command!
Originally, it was a Spider Demon from the Cultivation World, neither strong nor weak, possessing only some special racial talents. However, it managed to stay with Qin Feng’s group all along because of many years of nurtured affection, leading to its assignment as the main spirit beast on the eighth layer of the Demon Refining Pot.
Afterward, because of the serendipitous timing of Qin Feng’s stay in the Otherworld, most of the spiders it fused with were Otherworld Demon Spiders.
Even though it later diligently practiced the cultivation techniques designed by the Beast Taming Sect specifically for nurturing demon beasts, its cultivation path was heavily influenced by the Dark Flame Demon God right from the start, as well as by the later absorbed Demon Spiders, making it hard to break free from the Otherworld cultivation methods, deviating from the traditional Demon Cultivator path.
This was also why the other spiritual beasts had achieved longevity and advanced to become Immortal Gods, while it remained stuck at this stage, lagging a step behind the others.
Fortunately, all roads lead to Rome, as cultivation ultimately aimed for understanding the Power of Laws, and only then pursued various powerful Techniques and Spell Divine Powers for combat.
Thus, after a period of settling and with occasional guidance from Qin Feng on how to cultivate, it found a point of balance between two different paths, just waiting for the right moment to break its shackles and establish its own path!
However, its path of cultivation was indeed different from others, starting from refining a slight Origin Spiritual Fire from the Dark Flame Demon God, to later receiving some fragments of Divine Status from Elder Kongkong, which had greatly impacted the then weak Ghost-Faced Spider.
Initially, neither Elder Kongkong nor Qin Feng had paid much attention to the Ghost-Faced Spider, feeling that obtaining even a bit of the Divine Status from the Dark Famed Demon God was a huge boon for it and doubting there could be further progress. Yet, this creature’s luck persisted, and eventually, it reached its current realm under Qin Feng’s nurturing.
In the previous battle, the Ghost-Faced Spider had merely been a bystander.
It wasn’t that it didn’t want to fight fiercely, but the opponents before it were simply too overpowering.
Being a Spider Demon, it could naturally handle other monsters, and even dared to fight against ten or eight similar-level spiders at the same time.
But the number of Demon Spiders before it was innumerable, numbering well over millions just in sight, and among them were not only those who had achieved Demon God status, but also countless others in the Demigod Realm, and it had not yet advanced, unable to match creatures like the Hellhounds, making its role in this battle incredibly minuscule.
Fortunately, its great master was courageous and invincible, even managing to kill the terrifyingly powerful Spider Queen, destroying this Abyss Lord.
This action not only intimidated countless Demon Spiders, plunging the Demon Spider army into chaos but also presented an opportunity to the Ghost-Faced Spider.
It quietly approached the fallen Spider Queen Rose while the Demon Spiders were either battling each other or fleeing, or looking for opportunities to seek revenge on Qin Feng, then using its web, pulled Spider Queen Rose’s body behind the Life Tree, where it hid, preparing to devour her body and refine her Divine Status.
For consuming higher rank Demon Spiders, Ghost-Faced Spider had ample experience, having once devoured a Spider Evil God in the Underground World, although its current target was not only of a higher status but also of a strength it could only look up to.
But it still moved its mouth!
In the worldview of spiders, cannibalism was not uncommon, and the Ghost-Faced Spider, born in Biluo as a Demon Spider, hardly cared about the race of this Abyss Lord. Instead, upon sensing the tremendous benefits the Spider Queen could bring, it immediately set out silently.
This creature, after all, had fused with various bloodlines of Demon Spiders, including Stealth Spiders, Ghost Spiders, and Illusion Demon Spiders, which possessed innate skills of concealing their presence. As such, its abilities in this regard were quite remarkable, allowing it to evade detection by the opposing Spider Demon Gods.
Seeing its actions exposed, those Spider Demon Gods, as if driven mad, charged towards it in an attempt to reclaim the Spider Queen’s corpse. The Ghost-Faced Spider grew frantic, hastening its devouring pace.
Otherwise, no matter how valiant its master was, he couldn’t possibly withstand the onslaught of so many Demon Spiders for long. Should their defenses falter, and the Spider Queen’s corpse actually be taken, wouldn’t it lose its chance for advancement!
Even the Swallowing Sky Toad, which had always ranked last and found it difficult to advance, had already become a Demon Immortal. How could the Ghost-Faced Spider not feel a sense of urgency?
Thus, the Divine Status it had originally planned to consume last was swallowed in one gulp, along with a residual soul left within the Divine Status of the Spider Queen, which it forcibly refined completely before tearing into the Spider Queen’s body and swallowing it whole in mere moments.
Ahead, Qin Feng had transformed into a giant hundreds of feet tall, holding a flame spear thousands of feet long. Each movement he made was infused with infinite Divine Power, and each wave of his hand scattered flames across the sky, killing countless Demon Spiders and deterring the Spider Demon Gods from coming close.
The Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon also exhibited fearsome war power. Even without relying on Divine Skills, merely circling around with its massive body could crush many Demon Spiders, not to mention its nine heads that could employ various Divine Skills.
Be it flames, frost, purifying brilliance, or astonishingly powerful Space Blades, whenever it felt the number of Demon Spiders in front of it getting too numerous, it would simply open its mouth and unleash a Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind, which not only scattered the souls of numerous nearby Demon Spiders and turned their bodies to mud, but also pushed the distant Demon Spiders into the sky, blowing a wide, hundred-mile-long path right through the army of Demon Spiders!
The Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon was not only formidable in combat but also possessed an incredibly robust defense. Its pitch-black scale armor was as solid as Divine Gold, so even if its body was covered in Demon Spiders, their fangs would snap, barely harming it.
However, the stronger the war power displayed, the shorter the time it could last.
Qin Feng not only employed the Heaven and Earth Transformation himself but also released the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon Dharma Image—effectively fighting on two fronts, which required even greater energy expenditure. Even though he had the Demon Refining Pot continuously supplying him with Pure Spirit Power, such a high-intensity combat style was hard to maintain.
After all, Spiritual Energy is just Spiritual Energy; no matter how pure, transforming it into True Yuan takes time, not to mention transforming into the far superior Immortal Energy!
Despite the Ghost-Faced Spider not knowing exactly how long its master could hold on, an inherent sense of urgency sped up its devouring.
After completely swallowing the Spider Queen, the already plump belly of the Ghost-Faced Spider suddenly doubled in size, appearing even rounder but not at all cute.
Because the eerie patterns on its belly also expanded significantly, the fierce and terrifying ghost faces revealed an intense malevolence, enough to intimidate many opponents with just a glance.
It frantically refined the energy within the Spider Queen’s flesh and blood, her shattered Divine Status, and the residual soul within it.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
A series of sounds emitted as the Ghost-Faced Spider sprayed a large amount of spider silk from its rear, binding itself within, then like a Spiritual Silkworm about to transform into a butterfly, it enveloped itself in an oval-shaped cocoon.
The milky spider silk wrapped it layer by layer, obscuring not only its shape from the outside but also perfectly masking its aura.
As a result, the attacking Demon Spiders were once again bewildered. Although the Spider Demon Gods remained frenzied, the loss of the Spider Queen’s aura not only threw these Spider Demon Gods into chaos but also sapped the attacking spirit of the other Demon Spiders who lacked Spiritual Intelligence.
Qin Feng’s massacre had already terrified them, but it was only the allure of the Spider Queen’s aura that had driven them to charge forward heedlessly.
Now not truly knowing what fear was, the loss of the Spider Queen’s aura diminished their drive to move forward, leaving them reluctant to launch suicidal charges.
So, apart from those Spider Demon Gods who still harbored a sliver of hope trying to swiftly push forward to slay the Ghost-Faced Spider, tear open its belly, and snatch back the Divine Status, the rest of the Demon Spiders showed signs of confusion.
Even so, Qin Feng’s pressure did not decrease much because, in their struggle to regain the Spider Queen’s Divine Status, these deities became even more ferocious than before, which only increased his pressure.
Fortunately, the Ghost-Faced Spider did not make him wait too long. Just a short while later, soft sounds came from the oval cocoon of spiderweb, followed by the web cracking as the Ghost-Faced Spider tore open a gap from the inside.
Then, from this slit, a pair of arms as white as jade reached out.
These slender and graceful hands pressed against the edges of the spiderweb slit, gently tearing it apart, and the tough cocoon ruptured, revealing a head so enchanting it could captivate all living beings!
Her beauty surpassed the Spider Queen’s—a grace so striking it could devastate a whole country.
However, a black flame pattern at her brow hinted at a heat that could scorch Divine Souls, and the allure in her gaze looked far from innocent—it suggested that she was a Demoness who could wreak havoc across the world.
As she pulled with her snow-white arms, the body beneath her head gradually emerged from the cocoon.
This was a naked, rosy body, the trembling twin peaks boldly exposed to the air, her slender waist fraught with endless temptation.
The Divine Turtle fighting in front was accidentally looked back and its tiny eyes immediately bulged roundly, shining brightly.
It then turned its body, transforming into a half-human, half-turtle form.
Somehow, since Qin Feng had stored the Mermaid in the Demon Refining Pot, and many other lifeforms had filled the second layer of the Beiming Immortal Mansion, giving the Divine Turtle companions had seemingly revitalized it, making it much more lively than before.
It stared wide-eyed at the beauty emerging from the cocoon, unconsciously swallowing its saliva.
It was unsurprised by the Ghost-Faced Spider’s transformation into human form, as many from the Demon Clan possessed the power of Transformation, and numerous Demon Beasts from Otherworlds were also capable of transforming!
However, it had not expected that the Ghost-Faced Spider would become so beautiful after its Transformation, and even more unexpectedly, the transformed Spider Beauty wore not a stitch!
But then again, it seemed normal, as being a Demon Beast, they indeed had no custom of wearing clothes before transforming!
Perhaps its action of swallowing saliva startled the beauty opposite, for the naked beauty emerging from the cocoon gave it a bright smile.
The Divine Turtle hurriedly returned the smile, thinking whether it should walk over, remove its own clothes, and drape them over her to display its gentlemanly demeanor, but the scene that followed quickly made it discard this thought.
Because the beauty stretched out her hands to grab the cocoon bound to her waist, forcefully pulling to fully break free.
Seeing this, the Divine Turtle’s heart skipped a beat, its little mustache curling slightly upward.
At the same time, its eyes, shining brightly, were firmly fixed on the part of her body below the waist that was about to be revealed.
Then, the wide-eyed Divine Turtle saw something it would never forget in its lifetime.
When the beauty tore open the web, what emerged inside was not some mysterious zone, nor a pair of long jade legs, but… eight legs!
Long indeed, but they had nothing in common with jade legs; devoid of any soft, jade-like visual effect, each of the eight long legs was covered in sharp bone spurs, a foot in length.
Perhaps due to absorbing the Spider Queen, the evolved Ghost-Faced Spider did not fully transform into human form; her lower body, astonishingly like the Spider Queen’s, was that of a spider.
She stretched out her coiled eight long legs, supporting her spherical belly as she stood up.
The Ghost-Faced Spider was originally only a step away from the Immortal God Realm, and now, having devoured the Spider Queen’s Divine Status and physical body, she was propelled to the Immortal God Realm by the immense Power of Laws within the Divine Status, consolidating her own Divine Status!
The Divine Status of the Ghost-Faced Spider was extremely unique. At first glance, it appeared like a cluster of pitch-black flames, yet at another glance, it resembled a jewel capable of captivating souls, filled with endless allure and evil. Yet, these two disparate sensations perfectly integrated into one, bringing about a tremendous transformation in the aura of the Ghost-Faced Spider.
