Chapter 5909 Long Chen’s Scheme
The Lightning Blaze Spider King bit through Yuanshan’s body. Blood sprayed into the air as both his body and soul were devoured in an instant.
His Yuan Spirit thrashed violently, unleashing one final, despairing roar before it too was consumed. His aura vanished from the world without a trace.
“Damn it!”
Everything had happened so quickly. The instant Yuanshan’s Yuan Spirit emerged, Lian Sanqiang lifted his hand as if to help. However, he hesitated and then let it fall, allowing the Lightning Blaze Spider King to swallow Yuanshan whole.
With its meal finished, the Lightning Blaze Spider King’s aura surged explosively. The martial stage beneath it buckled and started to sink, cracks spiderwebbing across its entire surface.
“Damn human!”
Gasps erupted all around as the Lightning Blaze Spider King actually spoke. Its eyes locked onto Long Chen, seething with hatred.
Long Chen glared back at it. Sensing its overwhelming demonic qi, Long Chen narrowed his eyes.
“I’m the one who freed you from your prison. And this is how you thank me?”
Prison?
Liu Xihua frowned in confusion, but as she focused more closely on the Spider King’s aura, her expression shifted to one of shock.
“These spiritual fluctuations... H-how can this be?”
They were completely different from before, neither belonging to Yuanshan nor to the Spider King itself.
Liu Xihua was completely stunned, unable to wrap her head around it.
She was stunned. As someone who had always remained within the Undying race’s territory, she lacked insight into the subtle transformations of the outside world.
Long Chen explained, “You were parasitizing Yuanshan’s soul. Now that he’s dead, you’ve possessed the Lightning Blaze Spider King. You’ve inherited both his power and the Spider King’s. You should be thanking me.”
Hearing that, Liu Xihua and the others were all stunned.
“Damn human, you’ve ruined everything! I’ll tear you into a million pieces!”
The Lightning Blaze Spider King suddenly swelled explosively, and golden light gushed out of it. Its huge body made the golden martial stage explode.
Fragments of the martial stage went flying in every direction, like a star exploding.
Both Liu Xihua and Lian Sanqiang took action at the same time, summoning a barrier and ordering their people to retreat.
Some of the fragments were like small rocks, while some were like small mountains. But the shockwaves still struck their minds like war drums. Several disciples clutched their heads as blood dripped from their ears. Panic and pain etched across their faces as they fled.
Liu Xihua guarded everyone as they retreated. Once they were safe, they looked back—only to witness a sky painted in golden light and drenched in violet qi. Amidst the chaos, a resounding dragon cry shook the heavens.
BOOM!
An enormous eight-colored divine ring manifested, blanketing the entire Sea of Oblivion. From it emerged a violet dragon claw, massive enough to blot out the sky.
All the violet clouds within the divine ring were drawn into that claw. The claw then came crashing down like a god’s judgment.
“Divine Dragon Immolation Claw!”
Long Chen’s roar was like that of a god’s. The Sea of Oblivion ignited, the earth split apart, and the fabric of reality trembled under the sheer might of the attack.
The dragon claw slammed into the ground, shaking the world. Meanwhile, the stars in the sky quivered, and sacred dragon might surged, ripping through both sky and underworld alike. There was nowhere to run.
Everyone saw the Lightning Blaze Spider King caught within the claw like a helpless chicken. It thrashed and shrieked, its violet lightning crackling wildly. However, it was utterly powerless before the divine pressure.
“No matter how strong you’ve become, you still can’t withstand the full power of my dragon blood,” Long Chen taunted.
Long Chen had an excited glint in his eyes. He then formed a series of hand seals—lightning crackled in his left hand, flames danced in his right.
After that, he bent forward and thrust both hands toward the Lightning Blaze Spider King. Two whirlpools emerged from his palms.
“Come here!” Long Chen exclaimed.
Golden flames and violet lightning poured out of the Spider King’s body, streaming into Long Chen’s whirlpools.
“Boss Long Chen...”
“He’s absorbing the Lightning Blaze Spider King’s power!”
“That’s crazy!”
The disciples of the Undying race were floored. They feared the Lightning Blaze Spider King after it had devoured Yuanshan and grown even more powerful. But even then, it was subdued in an instant.
Now, they could only gape in awe as Long Chen siphoned its energy like a divine predator.
The Lightning Blaze Spider King’s furious thrashing weakened by the second as its power was drained. Within the primal chaos space, two streams of energy surged inward.
The flame current flowed into Huo Linger’s draconic maw. Her body swelled as her aura rapidly intensified.
The lightning current was drawn toward the sleeping Lei Linger. This thunderforce lacked the destructive violence of heavenly tribulation lightning—it was pure and nourishing, perfect for her current state.
The moment Long Chen saw the Lightning Blaze Spider King, he already set his sights on its energy. It would significantly shorten Lei Linger’s seclusion.
Huo Linger, too, had been itching to consume the spider. The flames it carried contained a strange energy that resonated with her.
Long Chen had erased Yuanshan’s spiritual seal on it, letting it devour its master. After absorbing it, the spider's aura reached its peak.
BOOM!
In less than two breaths, the Lightning Blaze Spider King was sucked dry and shattered into countless fragments. The giant dragon claw vanished like mist.
The world was deathly silent. Only the wind howled through torn space, and the brittle cracking of the Sea of Oblivion echoed faintly across the void.
