Chapter 400 – Magic Devouring Demon Spider

Qin Yu didn’t stay for long . He glanced around and said to Tuba and Tutou, “You two can cultivate here without worry . Once I leave the Infinite Realm I will let you out . ”

“Yes, Your Highness . ” Tuba and Tutou knelt down .

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed . He didn’t stop them from bowing . With a thought, his figure vanished and he appeared in front of the great priest .

“Great priest, when I entered the token just now, did you happen to notice where the token was?”

The great priest thought for a moment and then said, “This old servant could only sense that there was something unusual with a point in space, but I wasn’t able to find Your Highness’s token . ”

Qin Yu thought that it was indeed what he expected .

The token could be placed inside his body . After Qin Yu opened it, it would lose its concealing barrier and fuse into a point in space . This was an extremely small and narrow space . Even someone as powerful as the great priest was only able to faintly sense it at such a close distance . It was clear that the token had an extremely formidable ability in hiding itself .

Of course, the great priest was strong when it came to the body and weak when it came to the soul; this also had to be a point of consideration . Even so, if there was some danger in the future it would be a good idea to use this token to avoid disaster .

Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “Great priest, if there isn’t anything else, then I will bid my farewells here . ”

The great priest bowed, “I bid Your Highness farewell!”

Qin Yu stepped forward and turned into a stream of light, rapidly flying out from the canyon and vanishing from sight .

A titan walked up the side of the great priest, a puzzled look on his face . “Great priest, since His Highness is the key to saving our titan race, why didn’t we send stronger tribesmen to follow by his side? That would better guarantee his safety . ”

The great priest shook his head . “His Highness seems kind but his feelings remain vigilant . If we send tribesmen that are too strong to follow by his side, I worry that this will give birth to fear and misunderstandings . Tuba and Tutou are the most outstanding juniors of our tribe . Because of the erasure of the Infinite Realm’s rules, they have had to forcefully suppress their cultivation . So, once they enter the Land of Divinity and Demons their strength should rise rapidly and they should have the ability to protect themselves . ”

There were some words that the great priest didn’t say . He sent out Tuba and Tutou because their strength wasn’t too different from Qin Yu’s . If those three people could experience some tribulations in the outside world, then they might be able to develop true friendship through adversity . As long as the three people were on good terms, their titan race had a chance for a future .

“I hope that our tribe can smoothly last until that day!” The great priest muttered to himself . He silently turned and shouted out, “Pass down orders: seal the canyon and block out the Infinite Realm’s rules!”

Several breaths of time later, a blood red beam of light shot up into the skies . It spread out in midair, turning into a giant sphere of light that covered the entire titan tribe .

A hundred miles away from the canyon, Qin Yu turned and looked back . He saw the blood red beam shooting out from the canyon . Then, his eyes flashed and he continued making his way forward .

The closing of the Infinite Realm would occur in ten days at most . His hopes of finding Ning Ling during this time period were slim . Still, Qin Yu didn’t give up hope . He passed through many places but in the end didn’t find anything .

On this day, eight days had passed . The Infinite Realm could close up at any moment . Qin Yu darkly sighed, briefly pausing at the peak of a mountain . A gust of wind rushed against his face, curling up his black robes . His complexion was dark but his expression was still firm .

Even if he couldn’t find Ning Ling this time, his strength right now was far greater than when he first entered the Infinite Realm . At the very worst, he could spend some time and cross the Land of Divinity and Demons to go to the Immortal Sect .

As long as there was a will, there was a way .

He stepped forward and leapt up into the air . His figure flickered through the forest several times before vanishing .

The ninth day .

Qin Yu could feel faint fluctuations being sent throughout the Infinite Realm . It seemed that it would close up at any time .

He took a deep breath and dropped, finding an ancient tree to rest on .

For the last bit of time he had, he planned on waiting here for the Infinite Realm to close .

But as soon as Qin Yu sat down, two cultivators rushed in from afar in a panic . After his King step Demon Body reached large success, his hearing became even sharper and he could faintly hear what those two people were talking about .

Immortal Sect…female cultivator…trapped…horrifying…as these words fell into Qin Yu’s eyes, his eyes flashed open . His figure flickered and he blocked the way of the two people .

“Who is it!?” The two cultivators were shocked . As they saw it was only Qin Yu, they calmed down a little, though they still remained wary . They hadn’t even discovered this cultivator until he appeared in front of them . If he had ambushed them…thinking of this, their expressions became even more dignified .

Qin Yu cupped his hands together and said, “Fellow daoists, do not misunderstand, I have no ill intent at all . I just inadvertently heard you two mentioning some female Immortal Sect cultivator that fell into a trap? What does she look like and where is she now?”

The two cultivators glanced at each other . One of them said, “We just happened to be passing by . We happened to see a young and beautiful Immortal Sect cultivator trapped in a stone forest around a hundred miles in that direction . ”

Qin Yu nodded . “Thank you!” His figure flashed and he rapidly flew towards the direction they pointed in .

“Senior-apprentice brother, that is a magic devouring demon spider . Although that person’s cultivation isn’t weak, if he goes over there nothing awaits him but death . ” Another cultivator said, frowning .

The man who spoke coldly sneered . “He was the one who asked us for information and we only truthfully responded to him . Why do we have to manage what he does afterwards?”

“Mm, senior-apprentice brother speaks reasonably . ”

The two people quickly left .

Qin Yu rapidly crossed the hundred miles . Soon, he saw a giant bare stone forest appear in front of him .

The stones were haphazardly placed together, forming an array formation . Fog tumbled around in the stone forest and it was impossible to see inside .

At this time, he could faintly hear the sounds of great movements occurring from within the stone forest .

Qin Yu entered the stone forest without hesitation . The moment he entered the fog, his complexion changed . This was because he could feel the magic power circulating within his body suddenly stagnating . But with a thought, he deliberately sped up the circulation of magic power, breaking past that invisible stagnation . Then he stepped inside the stone forest, soaring into its depths .

The fog became increasingly thick . Luckily, Qin Yu had incredible eyesight and he could vaguely sense his general direction . After passing by several giant stones, his complexion changed and he came to a stop .

From up above, a white net fell over his head . This net was slightly wet as if it were just woven . It emitted a slightly silky smell .

Qin Yu punched out, tearing the falling net into shreds . But as it broke apart, it turned into liquid that scattered downwards . His nose and mouth were suddenly filled with a heavy sour scent! The magic power circulating in his body seemed to fall into a swamp, becoming incredibly difficult and slow to move .

Poison!

Looking at the crushed net, Qin Yu instantly recalled information about a type of horrifying monster beast that could be found in the Infinite Realm .

Magic devouring demon spider!

This was a special type of monster beast that lived in the Infinite Realm . From the moment it was born it continuously weaved a massive network of webs, constantly layering its active territory . During its long life, it constantly reinforced its webs . It did this because its main body was weak and without the protection of these massive webs, it could be easily killed . At the same time, a magic devouring demon spider dwelling within its network of webs could be called an existence similar to a nightmare .

This was because the webs of the magic devouring demon spider contained a strange type of poison . This poison could restrain the magic power within other beings without melting away their mortal bodies . Once they lost all strength and were too exhausted to resist, they would become food for the spider .

Qin Yu revealed a look of hesitation . Then, he took a step forward and continued to rush deep into the stone forest . He wasn’t sure whether or not it was Ning Ling trapped inside, but even if it were only an extremely small possibility, he still couldn’t take that risk .

The further he ventured in, the more his field of vision was covered in layers upon layers of spider webs, blocking all paths forward . If he wanted to go deeper into the stone forest, he could only force his way in . But by doing so, he would be forced to tear apart massive sections of spider webs, and when these webs broke apart, they would release even more poison .

This was a problem without a solution .

Qin Yu lifted a hand and punched out . The web in front of him trembled and disintegrated . The magic power within his body circulated slower but his body moved forward without stopping .

Bang –

Bang –

With loud slams from his fist, he rapidly continued forward . His skin started to turn an ash gray color; this was an indication of the poison severely infiltrating into his body . If it were any other Divine Soul cultivator, their magic power would have frozen up by now and it would have been impossible for them to move it . But, Qin Yu had the five Nascent Souls within his dantian sea, so he could still persist .

But the deeper he went into the stone forest, the harder the webs became to break . At first he could destroy the webs with a single punch but now it took him several strikes . At this rate, the losses to his magic power would become even more serious and his Five Element Nascent Souls would begin to rapidly dim down .

Bang –

The thick spider web in front of him withstood seven punches before it was torn apart . Qin Yu flew inside and finally saw a terrifying ten foot tall spider within . Its body was nimble and lightning-quick as it crawled along the webbing . The spider constantly released webbing from its rear, reinforcing a cage .

A female Immortal Sect cultivator was imprisoned in the spider’s cage of silk . Her face was pale as she panted for breath . If it weren’t for a powerful treasure atop her head helping her resist, she would have long since become food in the magic devouring demon spider’s stomach .

Seeing Qin Yu arrive, the Immortal Sect female cultivator was overjoyed . She anxiously said, “Fellow daoist, I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect, Shui Yuanling . I beg you fellow daoist, please save me!”

It wasn’t Ning Ling .

Qin Yu revealed a look of disappointment that soon vanished from sight . He hesitated and then stepped forward, rushing towards the cage of spider silk .

The magic devouring demon spider also discovered this unexpected visitor in Qin Yu . It opened its mouth and roared angrily before spitting a massive glob of venom .

“Fellow daoist, be careful!” Shui Yuanling hurriedly warned . It was because she was not cautious enough before that she had been struck by this poison . Because of that, she lost the strength to resist and was slowly dragged into the depths of the stone forest by the magic devouring demon spider .

But Qin Yu seemed to not hear her at all . He didn’t dodge but instead smashed apart the poison . Shui Yuanling’s eyes flew open with shock and bewilderment . Was this person an idiot? She had even warned him but he actually punched the poison . She originally thought there was a chance she could survive with the arrival of a sudden helper, but now it looked as if they were both going to be spider food .

The magic devouring demon spider was stunned, then it revealed a taunting expression . Then, as it expected, this human intruder fell down on the spider web .

It hesitated for a moment and its massive body began to move forward . It tossed itself towards Qin Yu like a gust of wind . The magic devouring demon spider could feel the incredible blood energy within this human outsider’s body . If it ate him, perhaps it could complete its next evolution .

In the blink of an eye, the magic devouring demon spider arrived . It opened its mouth to reveal sharp fangs that bit down at Qin Yu’s neck . But at this time, Qin Yu’s frozen body unexpectedly moved, dodging the fangs of the magic devouring demon spider and loudly punching it between the eyes .
