Chapter 3449: 3431 In Hand

As the gigantic dragon phantom appeared, its massive claw swiped at the void. A ripple spread through the air above Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, and a colossal, shimmering golden dragon claw materialized from nowhere, descending upon them.

Before the golden dragon claw even landed, an immense pressure enveloped the area, twisting and deforming the void. If struck by this claw, survival would be nearly impossible.

Wang Changsheng was already prepared. His right hand glowed with dazzling blue light as he struck the air above him. A colossal, hazy blue hand materialized and rose to meet the attack.

A thunderous roar erupted as the two forces annihilated each other. The powerful shockwave shattered the void for dozens of miles around, creating countless fissures. However, these cracks quickly healed.

A deafening dragon roar resounded, and a hazy golden sound wave swept forth. Wherever it passed, the ground exploded and the void tore apart.

Wang Changsheng struck the void with his right hand again. The sea water churned violently, raising a colossal wave over ten thousand feet high. Like a towering blue water mountain, it surged forward with irresistible power to confront the sound wave.

The blue water mountain blotted out the sky. As it advanced, numerous cracks appeared in the void, converging to form massive empty holes. Gale-force winds raged, the ground collapsed, and the display was astonishing.

With a thunderous roar, the blue water mountain proved unstoppable, effortlessly shattering the golden sound wave and surging directly towards the Dragon Spider.

Just as the Dragon Spider was about to defend itself, a man's earth-shattering roar echoed through tens of thousands of miles.

All demon beasts below Rank Eight collapsed, losing consciousness. Wang Tunian, hidden a hundred thousand miles away, observed the battlefield, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

The Dragon Spider's body trembled slightly. By the time it regained its composure, the blue water mountain was already upon it, about to crash into its body.

The golden dragon phantom spewed out a shimmering golden radiance, enveloping the blue water mountain. The blue water mountain halted, but only for a moment. Soon, the golden radiance shattered, and the blue water mountain slammed into the Dragon Spider.

A man's agonizing shriek of pain erupted as the Dragon Spider was sent flying backward. Its massive body crashed through several mountain peaks, and horrifying bloody gashes appeared on its hide, its head drenched in blood.

A look of apprehension appeared in the Dragon Spider's eyes. As a descendant of true dragons, its physical body was incredibly strong; it had never suffered such a significant loss in battles against numerous Rank Eight demon beasts. This human cultivator, who had injured it so easily, possessed unfathomable power.

A wave of ethereal music sounded, and a hazy blue ring of light descended from the sky, striking towards the Dragon Spider.

Just then, two thick golden beams shot forth, shattering the blue ring of light.

The other two Dragon Spiders had also intervened, otherwise their companion would surely have been killed.

"It's been a long time since I've tasted human cultivators. You are truly seeking your own demise."

The largest Dragon Spider spoke in human tongue, its voice icy.

"Your corpses would make excellent refining materials, no doubt."

Wang Changsheng's face showed interest as he chuckled and formed a hand seal. The void within a ten-thousand-mile radius vibrated and twisted, and countless amounts of seawater surged forth, rapidly transforming the area into a vast ocean.

The sea water churned violently, surging in from all directions with towering waves and incessant tsunami roars. Wherever it passed, mountains and trees were completely pulverized.

Numerous cracks appeared in the void within a ten-thousand-mile radius. These cracks converged, forming black holes, and gale-force winds erupted, as if this very realm was about to collapse.

Feeling the astonishing power of the seawater, the three Dragon Spiders dared not be careless. They each summoned their Dharma Idols, and three enormous golden dragon phantoms appeared high in the sky. Each phantom spewed forth a shimmering golden radiance to meet the incoming water.

The blue seawater collided with the golden radiance, halting its advance. However, the relentless surge of water caused tiny cracks to appear in the golden radiance, which then fractured and ultimately shattered.

The three golden dragon phantoms each emitted a hazy golden sound wave, which finally managed to block the surging seawater.

With a flash of blue light, the seawater churned violently, raising three colossal waves over a thousand feet high. After a blur, they transformed into three towering blue giants, each over a thousand feet tall. The three blue giants strode towards the Dragon Spiders, moving their fists.

Their punches were like thunder, and dense blue fist shadows shot forth. Most were blocked by the Dragon Spiders, but a few struck them, emitting dull thuds.

The three Dragon Spiders opened their gaping mouths and each spewed out thin golden spider silks, directly targeting the three blue giants.

The golden spider silks struck the blue giants, producing dull thuds, as if hitting walls of bronze and iron.

The sound of the zither grew more fervent, and the Rank Eight low-grade Dragon Spider's reactions slowed. The other two Dragon Spiders realized the danger and were about to intensify their attacks when the seawater churned violently, raising three colossal waves ten thousand feet high, which slammed towards the three Dragon Spiders.

As the three Dragon Spiders attempted to resist, a man's earth-shattering roar sounded. The Rank Eight mid-grade Dragon Spider was largely unaffected, but the Rank Eight low-grade Dragon Spider's body trembled slightly.

A colossal wave crashed down, seemingly intent on crushing it into a pulp.

The golden dragon phantom quickly spewed out a shimmering golden sound wave, shattering the colossal wave.

Inside the cave, the ground swelled into a mound, and Wang Tunian emerged from underground. He formed a hand seal, and a hazy yellow spiritual light emanated from his body, while the phantom of a Heaven Devouring Rat appeared above his head.

"No, they're after that stone!"

The Dragon Spider was shocked and furious. Their current strength was partly due to the Yuanji Stone, though they didn't know the name of the stone that emitted pure spiritual energy.

Just as the Dragon Spider was about to retreat to defend, a shimmering golden dragon claw descended from the sky, striking it.

With a thunderous crash, more than half of its body was driven into the ground.

"What are you doing?!"

Another Dragon Spider cried out in shock and fury.

The Rank Eight low-grade Dragon Spider attacked its companion, its eyes turning blood red as it fell into a state of frenzy.

The Dragon Spider ignored the cries and attacked its two companions, while simultaneously, the three blue giants also attacked the two Dragon Spiders.

Seizing this opportunity, Wang Tunian formed a hand seal, and the Heaven Devouring Rat phantom opened its mouth, spewing out a hazy yellow radiance that enveloped the rock wall containing the Yuanji Stone.

The rock wall shook violently, and thick, long cracks appeared. The cracks grew wider, and a house-sized boulder broke off the wall, with the Yuanji Stone still attached to it.

Wang Tunian collected the boulder and disappeared into the ground.

Wang Ruyan continued to play her zither, while Wang Changsheng unleashed his divine abilities to attack the two Dragon Spiders.

If this trend continued, Wang Changsheng felt he could exterminate two, or even all three, Dragon Spiders.

Wang Tunian emerged from underground, retrieved the Yuanji Stone, and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng put away the Yuanji Stone. Suddenly, a loud beast roar emanated from the Demon Seeker Mirror, which glowed brightly. He quickly took out the mirror and saw the pointer on its surface pointing northeast.

Wang Tunian activated his eyes and looked towards the northeast. "Oh no, a Rank Eight demon rat, it seems to be a Heaven Devouring Rat!" Wang Tunian's voice trembled slightly. From its appearance, the demon rat closely resembled a Heaven Devouring Rat, but he couldn't be certain; a similar appearance didn't necessarily mean it was the real thing.

"Retreat immediately!"

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and countless blue seawater surged forth from the surrounding void, enveloping them like an inverted bowl. Wang Tunian transformed into a yellow light and vanished into the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

Wang Ruyan stopped playing. She and Wang Changsheng began to chant, their bodies radiating brilliant golden light as countless golden runes appeared on their skin.

With a flash of golden light, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan transformed into two golden streaks and vanished.
