Chapter 82: The Sky-Dark Stone, the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor Attacks!
After Xie Yue finished off the Void Shadow Owl with a single strike, he drew its soul ring into himself.
While Xie Yue was absorbing the soul ring, Hu Bai suddenly sensed a very subtle fluctuation of spatial energy nearby. Upon closer inspection, it was emanating from a black ore.
"Come quickly and look! What kind of ore is this? It actually contains a considerable amount of spatial energy," Hu Bai said, pleasantly surprised.
He picked up a piece of ore containing spatial energy and held it in his hand, trying to see if he could absorb the energy within it for his own use. To his surprise, he actually could!
This was a cultivation resource that had never been discovered before!
"Hmm, this is the first time I've seen this kind of ore as well," Qian Daoliu frowned.
"Dad, try to see if you can absorb the spatial energy contained within it," Hu Bai said, handing one of the ores to Xie Tian.
Although Xie Tian's Dragon Pattern Moon Blade didn't directly possess spatial attributes like Xie Yue's, his eighth Soul Skill had spatial attributes, and this also gave his Dragon Pattern Moon Blade a hint of spatial ability. So, he might also be able to absorb it!
Xie Tian tried for a moment, guiding the spatial energy from the ore into his body.
A moment later, the spatial energy in the ore in his hand was completely consumed, and Xie Tian felt as if his mastery of spatial attributes had been slightly strengthened.
Don't underestimate this tiny improvement. Perhaps because of this, he would be able to develop new spatial soul skills based on his eighth Soul Skill in the future!
Everyone present was excited about this discovery, especially Hu Bai and Xie Tian.
Of course, Xie Yue, who was currently absorbing the soul ring, would also be very happy once he woke up.
Subsequently, Hu Bai named this ore Void Gazer Stone.
Then, the group searched for this ore within a hundred-meter radius centered around Xie Yue until all their Soul Guidance Devices were full.
However, Qian Daoliu still felt unsatisfied: "It's a pity that the storage space of the Soul Guidance Devices isn't very large. Next time, we must bring more storage Soul Guidance Devices. These things are treasures for the little ones."
Resources that can enhance spatial control must be firmly held by Spirit Hall!
Although spatial attributes are not necessarily the ultimate, the more freely one can control space, the less soul power and mental energy a Soul Master consumes, and the stronger the potential to develop new spatial soul skills.
There aren't many Spirit Hall Soul Masters with spatial abilities; in Qian Daoliu's impression, only Xie Tian and his two sons.
Oh, right—the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, known for his defensive abilities, also possesses a Bone Dragon Martial Soul with spatial attributes.
When Xie Yue was absorbing this third soul ring, he felt a slight sense of unease, but with a hint of relief, he realized that this soul ring was actually giving him immense pressure!
One must know that with his current physique, he could endure a soul ring of over seven thousand years!
This indicated that Qian Daoliu's estimate was significantly off; the age of this Void Shadow Owl was definitely close to seven thousand years, or even more!
It's not that a Soul Master's physique can easily withstand a seven-thousand-year soul ring; seven thousand years is the maximum, not the minimum.
Now, Xie Yue clenched his teeth, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, his body enduring immense pain.
But he knew he would definitely succeed!
He was the elder brother of Hu Bai and Hu Liena!
A day and a night passed.
No one expected it would take Xie Yue so long to absorb such a soul ring—this perfectly illustrated that the soul ring's age was extremely close to Xie Yue's physique limit.
Qian Daoliu sighed: "It seems my estimation of this Soul Beast was still way off. This Soul Beast must be at least seven thousand years old!"
Throughout the day and night, both Xie Tian and Hu Leyao's spirits remained tense, but fortunately, Xie Yue had now entered the final stage, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
But before they could celebrate too early, a purplish-black liquid suddenly sprayed toward them.
"Not good!"
Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong reacted immediately, blocking in front of everyone, releasing their divine and dark attributes to block the incoming venom.
Then, Qian Daoliu's Seraphim Martial Soul emitted dazzling golden light, and the hidden Soul Beast immediately revealed its true form.
It was a spider-type Soul Beast, crawling on the cliff face of a canyon, with a purplish-black carapace that had a metallic luster, three pairs of purplish-gold wings, and a bit of purplish-black venom secreting from its tail, dripping onto the cliff and corroding the hard surface!
Holy crap!
Purple Winged Spider Emperor!
Could this be the one Bibi Dong hunted in the original work?
In Hu Bai's impression, those that could be called Emperors were generally Hundred-thousand Year Soul Beasts!
For example, Bibi Dong's ninth soul ring from the Death Spider Emperor originated from a Hundred-thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor, which even dropped two Hundred-thousand-Year arm bones due to its extreme compatibility with her main body!
However, he suddenly remembered that spider-type Soul Beasts seemed to be a relatively special group; some can be called Emperors after fifty thousand years, such as the Man-faced Demon Spider Emperor.
But the aura of this one, as well as its ability to approach silently, clearly indicated it was a Hundred-thousand-Year Soul Beast!
Bibi Dong looked at the Soul Beast in front of her, licking the corner of her mouth, appearing very excited: "Qian Daoliu, protect them well. This Purple Winged Spider Emperor is perfect for me—I want it!"
This was a Hundred-thousand-Year Soul Beast!
Encountering one here—could this also be due to Hu Bai's luck?
Bibi Dong subconsciously looked at Hu Bai, who was still relatively calm behind her.
Hu Bai helplessly thought: 'No, no, no—this is your own luck. Don't attribute every Soul Beast that appears to me!'
"Teacher, can you do it alone?" Hu Bai asked out of concern.
Qian Renxue also looked at Bibi Dong with some nervousness, her eyes filled with worry, hesitantly saying: "How about, let Grandpa help?"
Bibi Dong looked at the two of them, her expression much gentler: "No need. This is a good opportunity to show you my strength. I'm not that weak."
As long as she killed this Hundred-thousand-Year Soul Beast, Rakshasa God's second trial would be complete!
Rakshasa God's Second Trial: Attach the sixth, Hundred-thousand-Year soul ring to the second Martial Soul, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor.
Just this second trial already posed such a challenge—would the later ones be even more difficult?
If she hadn't reconciled with Qian Renxue, she would definitely have reserved her strength in front of Qian Daoliu, but now, that was no longer necessary!
