The spider was so fast that it transformed into an afterimage and instantly got close.
In his god form, Xu Qings combat strength had the combat strength of the fourth stage of Nihility. Even though he hadnt activated the Jiulis enhancement, he still had his strength. However, facing such speed, it still caused his eyes to narrow.
One had to know that this spider was only one of the living beings in this Divine Realm. In the jade slip given by Tian Mozi, there were quite a lot of them.
From the arrangement, there were many existences in the Divine Realm whose terror surpassed this spiders.
And with such a large number of spiders possessing this kind of speed, its evident just how astonishing this divine domain was.
Xu Qing immediately retreated a thousand feet, dodging the spiders attack again. After that, when he lifted his right hand, the Golden Crow manifested and spread out black flames, gathering into a black spear that Xu Qing threw forward.
In that instant, when the spider missed its attack, the black spear pierced through it.
The spider didnt dodge at all and allowed the black spear to penetrate it. A strange scene occurred. Its body actually didnt suffer any injuries or changes, as though its existence could ignore spells and divine arts.
The spider rushed toward Xu Qing again. A sharp sound rang out from its mouth that could shake the soul.
Xu Qing frowned. The introduction of this spider in Tian Mozis jade slip appeared in his mind.
The spider spirits of the Divine Realm are like guards, wandering in every corner of the Divine Realm. They are occasionally alone and mostly in groups. The divinity in their bodies is dense, and they are especially good at speed.
Moreover, they are completely immune to all physical damages.
The only way to kill them is to suppress them with divine arts.
A dark glint appeared in Xu Qings eyes. The content of the jade slip was clearly wrong. His black spear was formed from a divine art spell and the damage wasnt physical.
However, it was still ineffective.
Therefore, either there was a problem with the record or there were other changes in this Divine Realm.
Xu Qing fell into deep thought. When the spider roared again and got close, he clenched his hand into a fist and attacked from afar. The spider ignored it and directly appeared in front of Xu Qing, spitting out a large number of white threads.
They were about to envelop Xu Qing.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Qings eyes. Since spells and physical damage were ineffective, he planned to use other methods to deal with it. At this moment, he decided not to dodge anymore. Instead, he rushed forward and directly transformed into a rainbow.
He shuttled through the spider web at an even more astonishing speed and arrived in front of the thousand-foot-large spider. He didnt attack but continued to rush over.
At the next instant, Xu Qing penetrated the spiders body and appeared in it.
Although this didnt cause any damage to the spider, Xu Qing, who was in the spiders body, felt killing intent rising in his heart. His body suddenly trembled and he scattered the soul threads in the spiders body.
In the blink of an eye, millions of soul threads spread out from Xu Qings god form and spread in all directions, filling the spiders entire body. Every soul thread unleashed its soul devouring ability in that instant.
This was the method Xu Qing had thought of to kill the spider.
As Xu Qings soul thread was originally formed from divine source, the effect of this method was extraordinary.
These spiders could ignore the methods of cultivators but they couldnt ignore the might of gods.
At the next moment, the thousand-foot-large spiders entire body trembled and it let out a heart-rending wail. Its body withered and shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it turned into ashes and dissipated.
Xu Qing walked out with a strange expression.
Almost at the same time he appeared, a shadow rapidly approached from afar. It was another spider!
In fact, even further away, black figures whistled and flashed. Sharp sounds rose and fell, and one could vaguely see more than ten of them moving rapidly toward Xu Qing.
Seeing this, the strange expression on Xu Qings face became even more intense.
He thought of what Tian Mozi had said. The living beings of the Divine Realm were treasures.
After he absorbed the spider, it actually provided more than 100,000 soul threads.
This number exceeded Xu Qings expectations.
Most importantly, Xu Qing sensed a fluctuation similar to the Heavenly Dao from this spider.
Although they werent the Heavenly Dao, it was obvious that their existences could become the Heavenly Dao after some refinement.
The number of my current soul threads is about 5 million. The increase from the slaughter and devouring outside was limited.
This place... is clearly more suitable.
Xu Qing licked his lips and looked at the spiders rushing over in the surroundings. With a sway of his body, he turned into soul threads and created a vortex storm.
As the storm rumbled and spun, the spiders approached one after another without stopping. They let out sharp roars and crashed into the storm.
A total of 17 of them.
All of them entered the vortex storm. After that, wails and cries echoed from the storm. There was even a spider that rushed out of the storm, trying to escape.
However, it was still too late. The number of soul threads in the vortex soared to more than 6 million. At this moment, the vortex also expanded abruptly like a ghastly mouth, devouring the escaping spider in one bite.
After that, the vortex formed from more than 6 million blood-red soul threads shrunk until it finally gathered into Xu Qings figure.
After waiting here for a long time but seeing that no other spiders appeared, Xu Qing felt some regret. Only then did he take out the bottle the captain was in and open it.
One after another, blue worms flew out and fused together. They looked like melted wax men and slowly piled up into a human figure, finally revealing the appearance of the captain.
If others saw this scene, they would definitely think that it was a bizarre entity. However, Xu Qing was already used to it.
The captains eyes also opened at this moment. After seeing his surroundings clearly, the captains eyes were incomparably bright as he laughed loudly.
I am finally in!!
Little Qing, were infinitely close to our target!
Haha, this time, it was too dangerous. Previously, that neither male nor female old fart, Sun Flame, almost discovered me when They were looking at you.
Fortunately, I was well-prepared and directly sealed everything.
The more the captain spoke, the more excited he became. His gaze surveyed the surroundings.
This is it. The primordial and ownerless Divine Realm!
Lets go, Little Qing. Follow me!
As the captain spoke, his body swayed and he rushed forward as though he was extremely familiar with this place.
Xu Qing sighed. Looking at the captains actions, he knew that the captain must have been here in his previous life.
Presumably, his major event this time was the same as before. He wanted to complete the business he hadnt completed back then.
Xu Qing shook his head. Actually, there were many times when he didnt understand why his captain liked to risk his life so much. It was as though he had to work hard to play himself to death in every life.
It was as though he wouldnt stop until he died.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing became even more vigilant. He secretly reminded himself that he definitely wouldnt participate in the big matter of the captain here.
While thinking of this, Xu Qing followed behind the captain.
As he sped, the captain continuously identified the direction and brought Xu Qing through the cracks of spiderwebs. Just like that, seven days passed.
In these seven days, tens of thousands of participants from the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race were scattered in various areas of this Divine Realm. Some were hunting the beings of the Divine Realm, while others were being hunted.
If one stood at the highest point and lowered their head to sense these tens of thousands of cultivators, they would discover that death... appeared at every moment.
In this vast Divine Realm, there were many living beings, and every one of them was unbelievable and extremely bizarre. However, the cultivators who could enter this place clearly had a certain level of confidence. Hence, they could reach a relative balance between self-preservation and hunting.
Also, the anomalous substances here were extremely dense. There was no spirit energy here at all.
To races other than the Flame Moon Race, this was extremely fatal.
However, to the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, they were a race who worshiped the gods. Hence, they had unique resistance to anomalous substances and could even use it.
However, in the Divine Realm, there were some terrifying existences. Once one encountered them, the chance of survival was extremely small.
For example, the whiskered fish at the start.
Another example was the changes to the dead stars that were enveloped by spiderwebs in this Divine Realm.
Some dead stars began to tremble, causing the surface of the stars to shake violently, and amidst the turmoil, they revealed... gigantic eyes hidden within these dead stars.
These eyes were white, and wherever they looked, spider silk would instantly surge. Additionally, every time they blinked, any living beings within their gaze would perish in bizarre and mysterious ways.
That is the Eye of Annihilation... In the Divine Realm, life is influenced by the gods and can undergo various mutations, and the stars are no exception.
In my previous life, I had tried to think of ways to transplant one on my forehead, but I failed.
The captain had a look of regret.
At that moment, in front of the captain and Xu Qing, there was such a dead star. Amidst the continuous trembling, it opened its eyes. When it stared in all directions, it seemed to have sensed something and abruptly spun, looking at the location of Xu Qing and the captain.
Almost at the instant the white eye looked over, the captain directly took out an invisible item and pressed it into Xu Qings hand.
Xu Qing didnt evade. He felt an invisible mark appear on his hand. As the mark appeared, the huge eye from the star lost its focus and slowly shifted its gaze away.
Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the back of his hand.
Do you remember the wordless book? Hehe, trust me, Little Qing. Im extremely well-prepared this time!
The captain proudly lifted his hand and waved it in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded and thought of the two words the captain had hidden his identity to obtain.
One was not and the other was word.
Their function is to hide our existence and make those great terrors here ignore us.
Lets go. Our journey will be much smoother now. My first destination is ahead.
The captain was excited and quickly moved forward.
Xu Qing shook his head and followed.
Several days later, after passing through many spiderwebs, a special area was reflected in Xu Qings eyes.
It was a red sea.
The seawater was strange. It was frozen and endless.
Occasionally, massive shells would rise up from the depths, towering a hundred thousand feet high. Every now and then, they would open to reveal the heads of giant beasts, resembling eagles, peering out from within.
The captain pointed ahead.
Were here, Little Qing. This is our first destination..
