Chapter 63 - Crushing the Evil Spirit King
Kunlun Mountain was the most sacred mountain in China. Its mountain ranges stretched for over two thousand kilometers, and its average height above sea level was more than five thousand meters.
It enjoyed a prominent position in the history of China and was even referred to as the ‘dragon artery’ by people of ancient times.
However, this was merely the understanding that ordinary people had of this mountain.
In the eyes of cultivators, the Kunlun Mountains had an even loftier standing. It was the village of gods, and it was the pulse of the world!
This was a place which had the richest and most abundant levels of vital energy, and where extremely rare treasures emerged in an endless stream.
Hermits and powerful individuals cultivated here, and high-level monsters ran amok in the mountains. Furthermore, there existed naturally formed deadly realms and countless mystic realms.
It could be said that this was a place of great danger and fortune, one which attracted innumerable cultivators.
An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xuanyuan Cheng, Tian Lingling, and Huang Shanshan arrived at the Kunlun Mountains.
Following the coordinates, they found the demonic pagoda which sat within the Kunlun Mountain Ranges.
As for the thirteen reinforcements, they had already suppressed their auras and concealed themselves.
If there weren’t any unexpected circumstances, then they wouldn’t need to do anything.
An Lin and the others broke through the miasma spell formation and were greeted by a large crimson-colored pagoda.
Even though it had already been suppressed by a powerful seal, they could still feel the soaring demonic presence.
Xuanyuan Cheng narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the six-leveled demonic pagoda. “I’ve heard that there are three Evil Spirit Emperors sealed within this pagoda, and they’re to be used by Yi Xi the Enlightened of the Heavenly Court for refining a magic treasure. This pagoda is the basic form of the magic treasure. Now that I’m here and sensing its aura, I’ve finally come to the realization that once this magic treasure is refined, it will perhaps reach the level of a high-level spirit tool.”
“Well isn’t that great for Yi Xi the Enlightened. Pity on us laborers though,” An Lin grumbled.
“There’s still some time left until we have to strengthen the seal. Since we’ve already confirmed the location of the demonic pagoda, let’s go and exterminate the Hundred-Eyed Spider first.” Huang Shanshan held the bundle of Snow King Cobweb in her hands as she spoke.
The Hundred-Eyed Spider usually roamed around the demonic pagoda.
However, even an Evil Spirit Emperor wouldn’t be able to break the seal on this demonic pagoda, let alone an Evil Spirit King.
Hearing that they were going to exterminate the Evil Spirit King, Tian Lingling immediately volunteered, “I’m the best at tracking auras, I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”
Seeing how enthusiastic Tian Lingling was, Huang Shanshan had no choice but to hand the Snow King Cobweb to her.
After receiving the Snow King Cobweb, Tian Lingling took a strange formation disk out of her pocket.
After being activated with vital energy, this formation disk suddenly opened its ‘mouth’ and chewed on the Snow King Cobweb. Afterward, the needle on top of it swiveled around for a while before finally coming to a stop in a certain direction.
“Let’s go!” Tian Lingling grinned triumphantly and started walking in the direction that the formation disk pointed toward.
After crossing over a few mountain ridges, a thin layer of white mist appeared in the surroundings.
An Lin and the others sensed that the vital energy in this area was extremely rich and that this would be a great place to cultivate.
Since it was an area suitable for cultivation, it was only natural that various types of demons and beasts also liked this place.
Knowing this, they became even more alert.
The needle on the formation disk suddenly started swiveling about vigorously. This was due to the fact that the target’s aura and location were unstable.
“The Hundred-Eyed Spider is nearby!” Tian Lingling yelled.
Right as she finished speaking, the Snow King Cobweb in her hands suddenly came to life and spat out a silk thread, tightly binding her petite figure.
“Ah!” Tian Lingling shrieked.
She tried to wriggle free, yet to her surprise, the spiderweb bound her tighter and tighter.
Xuanyuan Cheng was the first to react. He instantly drew his sword and rushed before Tian Lingling, performing hundreds of slashes and shredding the cobwebs binding her to pieces.
Before Tian Lingling could even breathe a sigh of relief, a hissing sound grew louder and louder.
It was evident that while they were using the Snow King Cobweb to track the Evil Spirit King, the Evil Spirit King was also able to track them through the Snow King Cobweb. Not only that, but it was also able to control it.
Xuanyuan Cheng shielded Tian Lingling behind him and went on full alert.
He was the strongest individual here, meaning that if they were to clash with the Evil Spirit King, he would have to be the one who battled.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan would be in charge of assisting him.
As for Tian Lingling and Huang Shanshan, if all went according to the plan, they would just stand to the side and cheer them on.
A humongous figure dashed out of the mist. It was a terrifying spider whose body was thirty feet tall. This was already equivalent to the height of a three-story building.
Eight sword-like legs pierced into the ground and its closely-packed eyes swiveled about endlessly. It looked both hideous and terrifying.
If someone with trypophobia saw this spider, there was a chance that they would faint immediately.
With the arrival of the spider, a fearsome aura could be felt. This was an aura which belonged to an Evil Spirit King.
The Hundred-Eyed Spider had no intention of escaping, as it sensed that the cultivators before it were not all that strong.
The flesh of cultivators was very nourishing, so why would it abandon this opportunity?
The Hundred-Eyed Spider opened its jaws and large amounts of thread shot out from its mouth.
The snowy-white spiderweb formed into a net one hundred feet in size which enveloped them and fell at a great speed. Evidently, the spider wanted to bind them first.
“Immortal spell, Flaming Phoenix Palm!”
Xu Xiaolan raised her palm and lashed out toward the spiderweb.
Boom!
A flaming palm of extreme purity burnt the net of spiderweb to ashes.
A look of surprise flashed across Huang Shanshan’s face. “So powerful! This girl actually destroyed the web formed by the Evil Spirit King with a single strike!”
Seeing that this move was ineffective, the Hundred-Eyed Spider leaped toward An Lin and the others.
Although the body of this spider was gigantic, its leap was impressive nonetheless. It leaped hundreds of meters into the air, and its eight pitch-black legs were alike spears as they stabbed down toward An Lin and the others.
Xuanyuan Cheng stamped his feet and also leaped into the air. His expression didn’t change as he faced the fearsome figure in the air, and his sword slashed over.
A silky-white sword projection shot out from his sword. Although this was not a damaging strike, it did, however, cause the gigantic figure of the spider to start spinning.
Then, the spider spiraled toward the ground…
Boom!
The ground was cracked open by the force of the impact.
The spider landed headfirst and its sharp legs kicked about in the air. It truly looked painful!
“Wow, that move where he borrowed power was amazing! I’ve never seen such an amazing sword technique, not even from Wudang Mountain’s Uncle Chen!” Tian Lingling was full of praise.
“Indeed. Immortal ambassador Xuanyuan already has such a strong grasp of the Taichi method at such a young age, he’s awfully talented!” There was also a hint of admiration in Huang Shanshan’s voice.
An Lin was a bit speechless upon seeing the two beauties next to him give praise so effusively.
So, it turns out that they really have become bludgers who only know how to cheer.
Tian Lingling, where are your wards? Huang Shanshan, where is your high-tech gun?
Don’t you guys feel the need to do something when faced with such a battle?!
An Lin sighed softly, then cast a Mountain Quaking Fist toward the fallen spider.
Boom!
Bringing with it a vast power, the golden fist smashed into the Hundred-Eyed Spider’s abdomen.
The spider’s lower abdomen was indefensible and was completely crushed by the fist.
“Hiss!” The spider let out a wretched cry. Its body tumbled back from the power of the fist, and green blood oozed from its jaws.
“So powerful! Immortal ambassador An Lin can actually breach the Evil Spirit King’s defenses with a single punch! The power contained within this golden fist is already comparable to that which is contained in the strikes of Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators!” As Huang Shanshan praised An Lin, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
“I’ve seen this strike before, and it’s even more powerful this time! Way to go Fake Daoist Priest!” Tian Lingling cheered on from the sidelines.
An Lin grimaced. He finally came to the realization that the two of them had never planned to help right from the beginning.
Whatever, let them continue on as astonished bystanders…
An Lin shook his head and re-entered the battle, joining the ranks of those currently stringing up and beating the Evil Spirit King.
