"Kill!"
Wei Yunze and the others withdrew their gazes and fought with all their might. After all, the pressure from the hellish demon spider tide was not something they could easily afford to ignore.
In an instant, over a hundred thousand Venerables engaged in a fierce battle with the hellish demon spider tide.
"Ah~~~"
Piercing screams echoed out. A first-order Venerable was engulfed by dozens of hellish demon spider soldiers. The terrifying attacks instantly reduced the first-order Venerable to dust. Everyone looked towards the source of the screams, and a chill shot up their spines.
"No, I want to go back!!"
Finally, many people were truly terrified and made their way towards the portal leading to the first trial, and then, with lingering fear, entered the first trial.
Let alone first-order Venerables, even many second-order Venerables retreated. As for those at the peak of the ninth-order Great Emperor realm, even more people left.
Although the rewards for the path ahead were incredibly generous, one had to stay alive to enjoy them!
*Chii~~*
Lightning flashed, spear intent surged!
With their tacit cooperation, they were unstoppable. Ye Xuan soon rushed forward, entering the depths of the hellish demon spider tide and disappearing from everyone's sight.
After all, the second trial was vast. Even if there were ten times the number of Venerables present, it could still accommodate them with ease.
With no outsiders around, Ye Xuan naturally stopped holding back.
*Boom!!!*
The next moment, his first-order Venerable aura surged forth, along with lightning and spear intent, all unleashed to their absolute limit.
In an instant!
Centered around Ye Xuan, within a thousand-zhang radius, lightning filled the sky and spear intent crisscrossed. Within this area, terrifying time and space abilities were also present. In an instant, the thousand-zhang radius became an empty space.
Not a single hellish demon spider soldier remained. Such power was far greater than before!
"Since that's the case, then kill!!!"
Having tasted the sweetness, and storing over a thousand hellish demon spider cores into his spatial ring, Ye Xuan curled his lips, "Such a golden opportunity, how can I miss it."
*Zzzzzlaaa~~*
Rich lightning surged. His contracted demonic beast, the Black Dragon, feasted to its heart's content, enjoying itself immensely.
"Master, you are mighty and majestic~!!"
Little Black cheered Ye Xuan on, content to wait for the hellish demon spider soldiers his master killed, to silently improve his own strength.
Mo Xuanyou watched this scene, his face bewildered. His master's display was simply breaking through the heavens.
*Jii~~*
Just then, a high-pitched, piercing screech came from not far away. Immediately after, a massive hellish demon spider charged over. Clearly, Ye Xuan killing so many of its subordinates had finally attracted the attention of a hellish demon spider general.
Accompanied by a beastly roar, it instantly unleashed a terrifying attack, its sharp leg stabbing forward. Such power would have killed even a second-order Venerable on the spot.
"Good heavens!"
"A hellish demon spider general??"
Ye Xuan smacked his lips. Clearly, compared to the hellish demon spider soldiers, the hellish demon spider general attracted Ye Xuan's interest more.
With a flip of his right hand, the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear appeared, radiating terrifying lightning.
Dense spear intent poured out, and he met the attack head-on with a single spear thrust.
*Boom~!!!*
The terrifying attacks collided, and the powerful surge of energy sent the surrounding hellish demon spider soldiers reeling backward. Some, unable to dodge in time, were instantly torn apart and became food for their own kind and Little Black.
After the clash.
The hellish demon spider general was sent flying over ten zhang, while Ye Xuan himself remained motionless.
Mo Xuanyou, "!!!!"
He swallowed hard, his throat clicking. Mo Xuanyou stared at the scene in horror. Good heavens, his master had actually sent flying a hellish demon spider general comparable to a third-order Venerable! This meant his master already possessed the strength to contend with a third-order Venerable?
"So... so strong!!"
The shock in Mo Xuanyou's heart was like an endless, surging river. The visual impact was unparalleled.
However, this was just the beginning...
*Jijijii~~~*
An even more high-pitched hellish demon spider general's roar echoed, its sonic waves alone making Mo Xuanyou's face turn pale. Clearly, the hellish demon spider general was in an unprecedented state of rage at this moment.
Its combat power had naturally increased significantly.
*Chii~*
With extreme speed, it arrived in an instant. However, such speed was utterly insufficient against Ye Xuan's mastery of time abilities.
Ye Xuan's hand flashed with lightning, and he reached out to grab the hellish demon spider general. Terrifying lightning surged around the demon spider general, and he forcefully slammed the over ten-zhang-long creature into the ground with a resounding *bang*.
At that moment, it was as if a magnitude ten earthquake had occurred, the tremors unprecedentedly strong.
Mo Xuanyou watched his master's formidable display, his mouth twitching and his eyelids jumping uncontrollably. He would never forget this scene in his lifetime; it was simply too powerful.
The terrifying hellish demon spider general was easily subdued by his master, even in its enraged state.
*Bang~*
*Bang bang bang~~*
He slammed it down repeatedly. In an instant, dozens of slams passed. The hellish demon spider general was dazed. At its weakest point, a lightning-infused spear crackled with energy. With a *poof*.
Brain matter flew, and blood splattered!
The dignified hellish demon spider general met such a tragic end in Ye Xuan's hands. Ye Xuan then extracted its demon spider core, which was more than twice the size of a hellish demon spider soldier's core.
"Intermediate Hellish Demon Spider Core."
Looking at the warm demon spider core in his hand, a smile spread across his lips. Of course, this was not just one core; due to the system's mission, it was equivalent to ten.
"Good heavens!"
"It seems... it's time for my strength to advance further."
With that thought, Ye Xuan smiled and then consumed the hundred thousand lightning sources from the spatial ring that Tong Wuya had given him earlier.
*Boom~~~*
Under the surge of terrifying energy, it instantly spread throughout his body. His aura clearly surged, and with the abundant energy, his first-order Venerable realm aura then reached the peak of the first-order Venerable realm.
"Tsk, tsk, this damn feeling of getting stronger!"
"It's truly intoxicating..."
With the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear in hand, Ye Xuan's combat power had increased by an immeasurable amount. If he encountered a hellish demon spider general again now, he could definitely kill it within ten moves.
Then, his gaze fell upon the depths of the hellish demon spider tide, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light!
"Since that's the case, then kill!"
"A hundred thousand hellish demon spider soldiers, it seems easy now."
Holding the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear, he unleashed a spear attack, obtaining over a thousand primary demon spider cores from the surroundings. In an instant, over a thousand hellish demon spider soldiers were killed.
And so it went...
Thirty thousand!
Fifty thousand! Eighty thousand!!
Soon, all one hundred thousand hellish demon spider soldiers were annihilated by Ye Xuan, and the mission was thus completed.
However, Ye Xuan did not use the bonus reward of ten times the demon spider cores, as he was not foolish.
The larger the base, the more generous his rewards would be. Ye Xuan understood this simple principle very well.
After completing the system mission, Ye Xuan's target was no longer the hellish demon spider soldiers, but the hellish demon spider generals.
"Heh heh, Hellish Demon Spider Cores, here I come~~"
