Chapter 554 Dream Spider
The spirit world.
The human race's territory is near, encompassing a vast area of sea.
One by one, alien beings with human upper bodies and fish lower bodies floated on the sea surface, their flowing blood staining the surrounding waters crimson.
A blood-red cloud floated in the sky, within which stood a black-robed alien, its head and tail concealed, its aura dark and menacing. It held a blood-jade soul banner in its hand, and at this moment, it formed hand seals, casting spells into the surface of the soul banner.
Whoosh!
The surface of the Soul Banner formed a vortex of countless black wisps, drawing in the souls of the Mirror Scale Fish Clan one by one from the void.
Moreover, after absorbing the soul, the alien changed his hand gestures, and in an instant, countless blood-red seawaters in the sea boiled.
Each drop of blood was extracted and floated up, like countless reversed raindrops, which were swallowed by the gourd in his hand like a dragon sucking water.
"Good... As expected of the Mirror Scale Fish Clan, naturally living near water, their bloodline power is rich... If a few more tribes came, perhaps we could gather all the materials needed for that 'pseudo-immortal artifact'?"
The black-robed alien murmured, then suddenly moved, causing the surrounding light and shadow to shift, like a dream.
Swish swish!
Three beams of water appeared, and a mirror-like surface emerged around them, resembling a palace of crystal.
But the black-robed aliens had long since disappeared.
Above the Crystal Mirror Palace, several Cave-Improvement cultivators of the Mirror-Scaled Fish Clan suddenly appeared. The one in the lead had azure tail scales with wisps of gold within, radiating a dazzling halo. Upon seeing the countless withered corpses of his own kind below, he immediately roared, "What kind of invading enemy dares to slaughter my people?"
"Hehe... Three Cave Profound Realm cultivators, one late-stage Cave Profound Realm cultivator, and two early-stage Cave Profound Realm cultivators... Hmm, you are of royal blood from the Mirror Scale Fish Clan? I wonder if you have awakened a trace of Water Virtue Immortal Beast bloodline, otherwise one person's essence blood would be equivalent to the essence blood of millions of cultivators!"
The black-robed alien held the Blood Jade Soul Banner in his hand and licked his lips.
"How dare you! So you're after my bloodline!"
The Mirror Scale Fish Clan member in the late stage of the Cave Profound Realm formed hand seals, and a small round mirror appeared in his hands.
The figure of the black-robed alien appeared in the mirror: "I will restrain this person, you move the 'Mirror Palace'..."
It roared, unleashing its late-stage Profound Realm magical power, causing its treasure, the 'Round Crystal Mirror,' to emit a crystalline radiance that transformed into a pillar of light, enveloping the black-robed alien.
"rise!"
The other two early-stage Cave Profound cultivators quickly channeled their magic power, causing the crystal-clear mirror palace to open, like a giant beast opening its blood-red maw to swallow the black-robed alien whole!
Crack!
The next instant, the black-robed alien stood on a crystal plaza, surrounded by various mirrors, including the one above him, reflecting different versions of his image.
Then... one after another, 'black-robed figures' emerged from the mirror, their heads, arms, and bodies protruding... as if stepping from the mirror world into the real world!
Their auras were not weak at all, hovering around the Cave Profound and Refinement Void realms, but their numbers were astonishing, surrounding the black-robed alien race from all directions.
Boom!
Suddenly, all of these mirror-image black-robed alien races made their move, with numerous pillars of light covering the sky and engulfing the area where the black-robed alien races were located.
"It's done..."
The two Mirror Scale Fish Clan cultivators in the early stage of the Cave Profound Realm were overjoyed and said, "Under this kind of attack, even a cultivator at the peak of the Cave Profound Realm would not survive... This 'Mirror Palace' truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure of our clan. It's just a pity that moving around and targeting enemies is quite difficult."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, this treasure was originally crafted according to the format of a 'Formation Treasure'... The array is naturally incredibly powerful, but moving it is asking too much..."
Another early-stage cultivator gave a wry smile.
Suddenly, the royal member at the late-stage Cave Profound Realm shouted, "Be careful, it hasn't perished yet!"
"What?"
The two Mirror Scale Fish Clan members at the early stage of the Cave Profound Realm were shocked, and then they saw the figure of the black-robed alien appear in the void.
The previous beams of light only tore his clothes, revealing his hairy face and numerous spider-like compound eyes.
"The Dream Spider Clan?!"
A member of the royal bloodline of the Mirrorscale Fish Clan, a late-stage Cave Profound Realm cultivator with golden threads on his scales, exclaimed in disbelief, "You... how did you get here?"
"Now that an accident has occurred in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, we should take this opportunity to wipe you all out..."
The Dream Spider let out a wild laugh, and his black robe was stretched open by spider legs, each leg wrapped with a magical artifact that emitted terrifying magical power.
The Dream Spider clan was slightly weaker than the Bone Pattern Saint Clan in terms of strength. They failed in the battle for supremacy and are rumored to have been wiped out.
But to my surprise, some members of the clan were still active!
Furthermore, taking advantage of the lack of combat power among the many Mahayana and even Profound Realm experts in this region, they launched a ruthless attack in all directions, slaughtering across the continent and collecting resources and essence blood...
Furthermore, because its racial innate ability is related to dreams, it can transform a situation where it is certain to die into a dream. Therefore, the trap that was enough to kill an ordinary cultivator did not even cause it any harm.
"With the rest of you added in, we can complete the task quota the master gave me..."
The Dream Spider alien sneered, and a golden lamp suddenly flickered on one of its spider legs.
"A magic lamp?"
The Mirror Scale Fish Clan, at the late stage of the Cave Profound Realm, clearly knew the power of this treasure and retreated frantically, but it was too late.
The golden lamp still contained half a cup of oil, emitting a strange fragrance, with tiny golden flames slowly burning within.
A spider leg from the Dream Spider Clan stretched out, picked up a small flame, and flicked it gently.
puff!
Two streaks of fire flashed, and the two Mirror Scale Fish Clan members at the early stage of the Cave Profound Realm had already turned into torches.
Although they had already retreated violently, they summoned one spell after another to protect themselves, as well as a large number of protective treasures.
But under the golden flames, it was as easy as paper to tear apart.
Amidst screams, two profound souls were extracted and fell into the blood-red soul banner.
"Haha... Two profound souls, it would be even better if there were also a member of royal blood and soul among them..."
"Dream Spider Clan's Dongxuan laughed."
The golden-scaled royal family member stared coldly at the peak-stage cultivator opposite him, a flash of light disappearing from his hand, transforming into a strange talisman.
The talisman was entirely azure, with a silver rune depicted on it in bold, powerful strokes. Various water-related lights converged and transformed into a misty, shimmering water.
The talisman is ancient, with broken edges, and seems to have been passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years, truly the foundation of a clan!
As soon as it appeared, an astonishing power of the Water Path descended from the sky, enveloping an area of a thousand miles in radius!
"An eighth-tier talisman?!"
The Dream Spider Clan member immediately let out a miserable scream, his figure appearing dreamlike and illusory, as if he were about to transform from reality into illusion in the next moment...
But a ray of water spread out and abruptly stopped this trend.
"cut!"
The Mirrorscale royal family member's expression was icy. He stretched out his right hand, and strands of azure silk gathered together, transforming into a long sword.
This long sword is about three feet long, with runes that shimmer with a faint light on its blade, as if it were the embodiment of the Great Dao of Water. Suddenly, it slashes down!
Chi!
With a flash of sword light, the Dream Spider was split in two.
The misty water light dissipated, leaving only a few broken magical artifacts standing in place.
The Blood Jade Soul Banner, the crimson gourd, and the Divine Illumination Lamp were floating in mid-air, emitting a soft glow...
Despite annihilating their formidable enemy, the Mirrorscale royal family showed no joy on their faces, only a hint of heartache: "The foundation of our clan... has been depleted once again..."
It formed a hand seal, and a ball of mirror light appeared, gathering the items before it: "The mission... the quota... it seems that this blood sacrifice to our clan's Cave Mystic is actually orchestrated by a powerful figure? No... this mess is too big for our clan to handle. We must immediately notify the Human and Winged Clans. It's a pity that Senior Lingxuzi was also trapped in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm..."
The Mirror Scale royal family member picked up the Blood Jade Soul Banner, gazing at the countless souls within it, a look of heartache appearing on his face: "My people, I will now grant you liberation..."
"Liberation? Heh heh..."
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side.
The Mirror Scale Royal's scales stood on end, and a Dream Spider stood calmly to the side, simply reaching out a hand.
One after another, delicate spider silk appeared in the void, pulling all three treasures back.
"The Dream Spider Clan... a Mahayana-level ancient monster?!"
Despair filled the Mirror Scale royal family member's face. He bit his tongue, his eyes filled with madness: "Reverse Fate, Absolute Yin, Heaven and Earth Escape..."
Whoosh!
He was burning his own life essence, causing his cultivation level to drop rapidly, as he had to use a life-saving escape technique to flee...
But the next moment, a strong drowsiness suddenly swept over him.
That is—the 'Road to Dreams'!
The Mirrorscale royal family member became drowsy and collapsed.
In his dream, he saw the souls of the Mirrorscale Fish Clan, who were in pain and struggling... being fished up by spider silk, and at the source of the countless spider silk was a deep abyss!
In that abyss, countless spider-like compound eyes lit up...
"Ah...you...you wish to become an immortal?"
The soul of the Mirror Scale royal family member was also caught by a spider silk thread, dangling from the water, and still screaming in agony.
"How difficult it is for mortals to become immortals... Although I have some understanding of the Great Dao of Dreams, I am still one step away from perfection..."
Hiss!
A giant spider crawled out of the abyss of the dream, with a half-human figure emerging from its back—the same Dream Spider Clan Mahayana cultivator from before.
"However... if we had a pseudo-immortal artifact in hand, and with the right timing and location, we still have a good chance..."
"It is your honor to become the material for my ascension to immortality..."
The Dream Spider Clan Mahayana slowly reached out his hand.
outside world.
The Mirror Scale royal, who was preparing to flee, suddenly lost his life force, and even his powerful physical body withered and his essence dissipated...
"Late stage of the Cave Profound Realm... royal bloodline... indeed not bad, it's just a pity about Xiao Wu."
The Dream Spider Clan Mahayana looked at the corpses in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly, and a pure white spider egg fell from the void.
Before long, the abdomen of the Mirrorscale royal corpse suddenly swelled and burst open... revealing a Dream Spider covered in azure scales: "My lord..."
"Your mission area is the Winged Clan... I need more blood sacrifices, more souls... Go!"
The Dream Spider Clan's Mahayana disciple said, "Go and spread fear and despair, repaying these alien races with everything our people suffered back then..."
