War God Long Ao

'Go all out?'

Long Ao of course knew what failure would mean.

He quietly adjusted his state. An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Long Ao sensed an incredibly terrifying power emerge from the cave walls around him. It even surpassed the power emanating from the Nine Nether Spider. 'Could this be the Sealing Power?'

He didn't need to ask. Long Ao knew that Long Fu had already unleashed the Sealing Power.

Without any further hesitation, Long Ao and Long Qiang performed the Unity of Man and Dragon. Long Qiang transformed into a stream of black energy that flowed into Long Ao's right arm. Immediately after, Long Ao's right arm began to mutate, instantly growing thicker.

A violet-black Giant Dragon appeared on his right arm, looking startlingly lifelike.

This was the Divine Dragon Arm, a Divine Ability born from the Unity of Man and Dragon between Long Ao and Long Qiang. This was also Long Ao's first time using the Divine Dragon Arm. Even Long Ao himself did not know how powerful it was.

Long Ao shot forward in a single bound. Before he even arrived, his powerful Momentum was already bearing down on his target.

Wielding the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber, he instantly stacked the Blood-Drinking Eight Techniques and viciously chopped toward the spiderweb. According to Long Fu's instructions, the web was the foundation of the Nine Nether Spider. To eliminate the beast, the web had to be dealt with first.

Having been frustrated for a whole month, the Nine Nether Spider suddenly saw its adversary appear. Overcome with fury, its enormous body lunged forward fiercely.

But at that exact moment, terrifying waves of Sealing Power descended from all directions, pressing down on it. The Nine Nether Spider's expression changed to one of great alarm. It couldn't be bothered to continue its attack and instead focused all its strength on resisting the Sealing Power coming from every side.

The Sealing Power.

This was the very same Sealing Power that had held it captive for so many years. The Nine Nether Spider had no intention of letting history repeat itself.

Seeing the Sealing Power successfully suppress the Nine Nether Spider, Long Ao's heart leaped with joy. As the Saber Aura shot out from his blade, he also smashed his Divine Dragon Arm forward. Accompanied by a Dragon's Roar, the Divine Dragon Arm radiated a powerful aura.

Long Ao was incredibly fast. Just as the Nine Nether Spider was focusing all its efforts on resisting the surrounding Sealing Power, Long Ao's Divine Dragon Arm had already smashed violently onto its head.

It let out a wretched scream. The Nine Nether Spider truly lived up to its reputation as a Taoist Peak expert, its entire body convulsing wildly.

Long Ao didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless. Using both his Divine Dragon Arm and the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber, he began to press his advantage, forcing the Nine Nether Spider back step by step toward the cave wall.

Long Ao knew very well that if this power could seal the Nine Nether Spider, one could only imagine how formidable it was. It was for this very reason that he planned to force the Nine Nether Spider into the cave wall.

Taoist Peak.

Thunder Tribulation Realm.

The gap between the two was simply too vast. They weren't even in the same league.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been nearly impossible for Long Ao to press it back like this. But the situation now was completely different. The Sealing Power alone was enough to give the Nine Nether Spider a massive headache.

Seeing the cave wall not far away, the Nine Nether Spider naturally understood the human's intention. It roared in fury, but it was pinned down by the Sealing Power, utterly helpless.

And just like that, under Long Ao's relentless advance, the Nine Nether Spider was finally forced into the cave wall. The surrounding Sealing Power surged in like a great sea, attacking frenziedly, each wave stronger than the last, its momentum overwhelming.

The Nine Nether Spider was now in a complete panic. It did everything it could to resist the Sealing Power assailing it from all sides, but no matter how hard it struggled, its efforts were in vain.

Self-destruction. In the end, the Nine Nether Spider chose neither to submit nor anything else; it directly chose to self-destruct, taking its enemy down with it.

Long Ao never would have imagined that the Nine Nether Spider would choose to self-destruct. He looked at the vast cave, not daring to linger, but the entrance was still far away. He was certain he would be dead before he could escape.

Mutual destruction.

A terrifying power began to emanate from the Nine Nether Spider's body, spreading outwards. Just then, Long Fu's voice sounded once more. After hearing it, Long Ao's heart filled with joy, and he sped toward the left-hand cave wall.

Before he even arrived, the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber in his hand had already slashed out fiercely.

Sure enough, just as Long Fu had said, there was a Stone Gate in the left-hand wall. After the Saber Aura struck, a Qi Shield appeared, rippling like a milky white halo.

Overjoyed, Long Ao couldn't be bothered with anything else. He shot inside in a single bound, vanishing within the milky white halo.

The moment Long Ao vanished, the Nine Nether Spider's body exploded. He had risked his life this time, preparing to refine the Nine Nether Spider, but what was the result?

Long Ao never would have thought the Nine Nether Spider would choose to self-destruct. After all, whether for a Martial Artist or a Spirit Beast, choosing to self-destruct meant that not only the body but even the soul would be scattered to the winds, unable to enter Reincarnation.

For this very reason, unless it was a last, desperate resort, no one would be willing to self-destruct.

However, at that moment, the blood-colored spiderwebs began to spread across the entire cave again, emitting an even more bizarre power.

The soul of the Nine Nether Spider that had just self-destructed suddenly appeared, transforming into countless specks of blood-red light that scattered to a certain corner of the cave.

If Long Ao had been there, he would have been so shocked his jaw would drop. It was common knowledge that whether for a Martial Artist or a Spirit Beast, self-destruction meant a one hundred percent certainty of being utterly annihilated. But now?

The Nine Nether Spider had chosen to self-destruct, yet its soul had scattered and was now completely merging with the spiderweb. And at that exact moment, Long Yili, who had just been devoured by the spider, suddenly reappeared in the cave.

The only difference was that the current Long Yili was a phantom figure, formed from coalescing threads of blood-red light. As for the Earth Dragon, it too was a phantom figure, also formed from coalescing threads of blood-red light.

On Long Yili's grim face was a mixture of anger, indignation, and resentment.

It turned out that when Long Yili was devoured by the Nine Nether Spider, his body was destroyed, but his soul had not vanished. It had remained within the spider's body. The spider's choice to self-destruct was not only to avoid being killed; a more important reason was to use a soul to escape this place.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been nearly impossible for the Nine Nether Spider to break the Seal and leave the cave. For this reason, it had devoured Long Yili, preparing to use his soul to aid its escape from the cave.

"My lord, please don't destroy my soul! I can take you to Dragon Valley."

The Nine Nether Spider and Giant Dragons were natural enemies. Long Yili was trying to save his own soul because he knew that once it was devoured, he would truly have no chance of making a comeback.

"Hahaha, kid, don't try to play tricks on me. As long as I, your granddaddy, can get out of here, there's nothing I can't do. But, seeing as you helped me, I won't devour your soul. I've already devoured the Earth Dragon's soul. I'll lend you its body. Go."
