Chapter 1340: Chapter 1339: Flying Demon Spider—Extremely Terrifying!

[Seeking subscriptions!!!]

Cave Mountain, located deep within the ”Original Restricted Zone,” is a very peculiar peak, filled with countless holes of various sizes. How these holes formed remains unknown. Little Zhu Yan, using the Eyes of Golden Flame secret technique of the Zhu Yan species, tracked the clues of the old fisherman and Xiao Ling to this location, where the trail ended. Little Zhu Yan deduced that the old fisherman and Xiao Ling were within the vicinity of Cave Mountain, but the nature of the creatures here remained a mystery. Caution was of utmost importance, for any life forms capable of establishing themselves in such depths of the ”Original Restricted Zone” were undoubtedly extraordinary, perhaps even terrifying!

Ye Tianchen showed no hesitation or delay, wielding the ”Taie Sword” to strike at Cave Mountain. The Sword Qi was vast and formidable, cleaving the entire mountain in two. However, both Ye Tianchen and Little Zhu Yan were left dumbfounded as, after the split, many large and small flying creatures emerged. The largest were about the size of watermelons, and the smallest resembled fists. All possessed wings and emerged fluttering, and upon seeing them clearly, Ye Tianchen realized they were a swarm of winged spiders, quite an odd sight indeed.

Poof!

A Sword Qi surged forth, and Ye Tianchen instantly slew a nearby flying spider. However, upon its death, more smaller spiders exploded outward, as if the slain spider had multiplied, an eerie and overwhelming sight that sent shivers down one’s spine. The sheer number of such spiders was unimaginable.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Crunch!

Crunch!

Crunch!

The air was filled with the buzzing of winged flutters and the crunching of sharp teeth gnawing. Suddenly, Ye Tianchen sensed a looming danger. Though these flying spiders were relatively small, they seemed to possess a peculiar strength, and their overwhelming numbers created a sense of impending doom, making resistance feel futile.

Dang!

Dang!

Dang!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen heard the sound of metal colliding. He felt a force emanating from his right hand, and couldn’t help but be startled. When he picked up the ”Taie Sword,” he truly had a dumbfounded feeling and couldn’t help but inhale a cold breath. There were a few flying spiders crawling on his ”Taie Sword,” constantly biting it, incredibly biting an Ancient Divine Sword. It was really unbelievable and extremely ferocious!

”What... damn, what kind of creature is this, daring to eat everything!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but shake off a few of the flying spiders and said.

”These are Flying Demon Spiders. They are not particularly formidable as a species, but they once caused the entire Martial Arts World to collapse... destroying one Galaxy after another...” Little Zhu Yan, who had already fled far away, shouted.

”Damn it, you troublemaker...” Ye Tianchen cursed upon seeing Little Zhu Yan leave him and flee once again.

”Kid, you need to move quickly. I reckon that old man and Xiao Ling were captured by this swarm of Flying Demon Spiders and taken back to their nest as food. If you don’t act now, it will be too late!” Little Zhu Yan shouted loudly.

Ye Tianchen gritted his teeth. No matter what, the clues to the fisherman old man and Xiao Ling’s whereabouts broke off here. It was highly probable that they were indeed captured by these Flying Demon Spiders and dragged into Cave Mountain. He had to rush in to rescue them quickly. If he was too late, they might not even have their bones left!

At that moment, regardless of how formidable the Flying Demon Spiders were or how strong their mouths might be, Ye Tianchen charged towards Cave Mountain in one go. Just as he did, his body was engulfed in a surge of golden power. He unleashed all of his physical body power and activated the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill.” He understood clearly that there were countless Flying Demon Spiders, numbering in the thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands. If he truly fought his way through, he didn’t know how many hours it would take to kill them all and open a blood path. By that time, he might reach Cave Mountain, but the fisherman old man and Xiao Ling might be gone. Therefore, Ye Tianchen had no choice but to risk it all, protect himself, and rescue the fisherman old man and Xiao Ling by charging into the Flying Demon Spiders’ lair!

The Flying Demon Spider clan was a faction of the Ancient Alien Race. Throughout the ages, the species had never been extinct because their Life Force was extremely tenacious, allowing them to survive in any environment. This clan wasn’t particularly powerful among the Ancient Alien Race, nor had any remarkable beings emerged from it, yet the records about them were terrifying. In the Middle Ancient Times, the Flying Demon Spider clan swept through the entire Martial Arts World, consuming everything, whether mountains, trees, other flesh-and-blood creatures, or even powerful treasures. It is rumored that even Emperor’s Artifacts could be devoured, shaking the entire Martial Arts World. The Flying Demon Spider clan had a unique method of reproduction—if one spider was slain, its cells would quickly divide, and new Flying Demon Spiders would appear in an instant, just like the changes Ye Tianchen experienced when he began to slay a Flying Demon Spider.

Within the Flying Demon Spider clan, no remarkable beings ever emerged, unlike other species, where supreme beings or incredible entities who had swept across the Martial Arts World would appear. However, when the Flying Demon Spider clan emerged in that era, all other Ancient Alien Races retreated in three steps. Perhaps it was the idea that strength comes in numbers and that ants can bite down an elephant. Not a single Ancient Alien Race dared to provoke them. Is it conceivable that there could be another species among the myriad kinds throughout the ages capable of devouring even Emperor’s Artifacts?

For a time, the entire Flying Demon Spider clan swept through vast swathes of Galaxies, and nearly the entire Martial Arts World spoke of their notoriety. Even those species that had supreme treasures and had produced supreme beings didn’t dare easily offend the Flying Demon Spider clan. After all, if they weren’t pleased, they might even devour your Emperor’s Artifacts. Wouldn’t such power be fearsome indeed?

However, when the Flying Demon Spider clan was sweeping through one Galaxy after another, causing many species to avoid and dare not contend, the War Emperor from the Zhu Yan clan took action. He personally arrived at the ancestral land of the Flying Demon Spider clan and wiped out millions of them with just a single pointed gesture. The Ancient War Emperor, Little Zhu Yan’s father, didn’t pursue them to the end but merely warned the Flying Demon Spider clan not to act in such a manner!

Since then, the Flying Demon Spider clan gradually disappeared from the Martial Arts World. Rarely were there any rumors about them. It appears that the prestige of the Ancient War Emperor is absolutely unchallengeable, and the members of the Flying Demon Spider clan understand this clearly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have remained dormant and patient for so long. Even after the Ancient War Emperor’s disappearance for so many years, the Flying Demon Spider clan still didn’t appear. Had it not been for the Ancient War Emperor of the Zhu Yan clan, who knows how many species would have suffered? Consequently, the Ancient War Emperor of the Zhu Yan clan, Little Zhu Yan’s troublesome father’s father, was respected and revered by all the races. Even now, many Ancient Alien Races respect Little Zhu Yan’s father with boundless admiration!

That is to say, the Flying Demon Spider clan may not be as powerful as some legends suggest, but they are quite terrifying, perhaps even more so than some clans that have produced ancient supremes. Their numbers are simply overwhelming, particularly their unique method of reproduction. The fact that they can devour even Emperor’s Artifacts truly inspires fear. Otherwise, this troublesome Little Zhu Yan wouldn’t have called out the name of the Flying Demon Spider and then vanished in an instant!

At this moment, Ye Tianchen was enveloped in Golden Light. He also put away his ”Taie Sword,” genuinely fearing that this Ancient Divine Sword might be consumed by the Flying Demon Spiders, which would be utterly unworthy. Relying solely on his physical body power, combined with the strength from the ”Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill,” he forcefully plunged into the lair of the Flying Demon Spider clan. As Ye Tianchen rushed forward, he was surrounded by a swarm of Flying Demon Spiders. Despite Ye Tianchen clearing a path with his iron fists and knocking away many Flying Demon Spiders, the sheer number of them made it seem endless. In an instant, many Flying Demon Spiders swarmed onto Ye Tianchen’s body and stuck tightly to him. Ye Tianchen distinctly heard the crackling sound—Flying Demon Spiders were gnawing away his physical body’s power. Shockingly, his physical body power was indeed being devoured by the Flying Demon Spider clan, which was tremendously terrifying!

”Damn it, it seems that this troublemaker was indeed not lying; the Flying Demon Spider clan, although they have never produced any formidable beings, is an extremely terrifying species. They not only devour tangible things but can even consume invisible Martial Arts True Qi and power. This species is truly defying nature. No wonder Little Zhu Yan’s father, the Ancient War Emperor, personally took action to warn this species, otherwise, the entire Martial Arts World might now be their domain!” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but curse in frustration as he fought his way towards Cave Mountain, using this as a means to divert his attention. Otherwise, seeing so many dense Flying Demon Spiders biting at him was truly hard to endure! (To be continued.
