The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 93 Finally Seeing the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass

puff!

Blood gushed out like a waterfall.

The massive body of the demonic ape froze on the spot, and the red light in its eyes quickly dimmed.

The next moment, its body slowly split open, crashed to the ground, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his face slightly pale.

This sword strike consumed most of his spiritual power.

But the results were also remarkable.

He walked to the corpse of the demon ape and plunged the Devouring Heaven Sword into its heart.

"Devour!"

As Lu Xuan's thoughts stirred, the Devouring Heaven Sword let out a cheerful hum, and the black vortex on its blade spun rapidly, beginning to devour the vast essence and residual spiritual power within the demonic ape's body like a whale swallowing the sea.

Visibly, the massive corpse of the demonic ape shriveled up and eventually turned into a dried-up corpse.

Meanwhile, the aura of the Devouring Heaven Sword continued to rise, and the patterns on the sword became more complex and profound, faintly radiating a heart-palpitating pressure.

"Buzz!"

Finally, with a clear sword cry, the Devouring Heaven Sword shone brightly with black light, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy swept out.

Top-grade magical artifact!

Having absorbed the entire essence of a half-step Heavenly Origin Realm demon, the Devouring Heaven Sword finally advanced once again, entering the ranks of top-grade spiritual weapons!

Lu Xuan gripped the longsword in his hand, feeling the powerful force emanating from its blade, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

With this top-grade spiritual weapon, plus the cultivation boost brought by the Yin-Yang Manual, he would be able to put up a fight even against a true Heavenly Origin Realm expert!

……

Having dealt with the Mountain-Moving Demon Ape, Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan continued their journey deeper into the Soul-Severing Valley.

The further you go in, the more bizarre the surrounding scenery becomes.

The originally gray miasma gradually turned dark purple, carrying a faint sweet and fishy smell that made people dizzy.

The ground beneath their feet became soft and slippery, as if they were stepping on rotting flesh, with black poisonous gas spewing out from the ground from time to time.

"Your Highness, the poisonous gas here is too strong, and my protective spiritual energy is being depleted very quickly."

Su Qinghuan's face was somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Although Lu Xuan gave them the antidote pills, the poisonous miasma deep within the Soul-Severing Valley was clearly extraordinary, and even those at the Soul Platform Realm would find it difficult to withstand for long.

"Hang in there a little longer, we should be reaching the core area soon."

Lu Xuan's expression was somewhat solemn. The Primordial Pearl within his body slowly circulated, devouring and refining all the poisonous gas that had invaded his body.

At the same time, he spared some of his energy to hold Su Qinghuan's small hand, sharing some of the pressure with her.

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly, a faint rustling sound came from all directions.

The sound was very soft, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet valley.

It was as if... countless insects were crawling there, making a rustling sound.

What was that sound?

Su Qinghuan cautiously looked around, her grip on her long sword tightening instinctively.

Lu Xuan instantly spread his divine sense.

The next moment, his expression changed.

"It's a Soul-Devouring Spider!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pairs of bright green eyes suddenly appeared in the dense, withered woods around them.

Countless black spiders appeared, surging out of the tree trunks and grass like a tide.

Each of these spiders was the size of a millstone, with hideous human face patterns on its back and white spider silk spitting from its mouth.

Those eight long legs were as sharp as knives.

"This...so many?!"

Su Qinghuan felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the overwhelming swarm of spiders before her.

With that number, there must be no less than several thousand!

Each one was roughly at the Spirit Sea Realm level, and there were even quite a few Soul Platform Realm Great Poison Spiders among them!

"Squeak, squeak!"

The spiders hissed as if on command, and charged madly at the two of them.

The spider silk spun into a huge white net, blocking all their escape routes.

"Fire attack!"

Lu Xuan shouted and swung the Heaven-Swallowing Sword in his hand.

"Haotian Sword Technique, Blazing Flames!"

A crimson sword aura swept out, igniting the spider web in front of it.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

Spider silk ignites upon contact with fire, emitting a pungent, acrid smell.

However, the spider silk spit out by this Soul-Devouring Poison Spider was no ordinary thing. Although it was ignited, it did not burn through immediately. Instead, it became much thicker and tougher.

"Damn it! This spider silk...it's impervious to water and fire!"

Lu Xuan frowned.

At this moment, the swarm of spiders had rushed close.

Several elite Soul Platform Realm Great Poison Spiders launched the first attack, their sharp spider legs piercing the two men's vitals like spears.

"Clang, clang clang!"

Lu Xuan parried with his sword, sparks flying everywhere.

These venomous spiders had incredibly hard limbs. Fortunately, the Devouring Heaven Sword had been upgraded to the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon; otherwise, it would have been impossible to cut them open.

"We can't fight them head-on; we must break through!"

Lu Xuan made a decisive decision.

There are so many spiders that once they get entangled, they can be exhausted to death, no matter how tired they are.

"Qinghuan, stay close to me!"

Lu Xuan grabbed Su Qinghuan's hand, and his spiritual power surged wildly into the Devouring Heaven Sword.

"Devouring Heaven Sword Technique, Annihilation!"

The black sword light surged, transforming into a gigantic sword wheel that forcefully carved a bloody path through the spider swarm.

Countless severed limbs and broken arms flew about, and green, toxic blood splattered everywhere.

The two struggled through the spider swarm, dodging left and right.

However, the spider swarm seemed endless; one batch was killed only to be replaced by another, with no end in sight.

Just as Su Qinghuan was about to exhaust herself, the ground in front of her suddenly collapsed.

"Boom!"

A huge, bottomless pit appeared before the two of them, with a faint, chilling wind blowing up from below.

"Jump!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan pulled Su Qinghuan and jumped into the deep pit.

Rather than being worn down by the spider swarm, it's better to gamble on what kind of way out lies down there.

The two figures vanished into the darkness in an instant.

The spiders chased the spiders to the edge of the pit, but as if sensing something terrifying, they stopped and let out uneasy hisses.

In the end, they retreated reluctantly.

……

Whew! Whew!

The wind howled in their ears as they plummeted downwards.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xuan felt his feet firmly planted on the ground.

"Are you alright?"

He immediately went to check on Su Qinghuan's condition.

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghuan shook her head: "I'm fine."

Although she was pale, she was actually fine.

Lu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around at his surroundings.

This is an underground cave.

Right in the very center of this cave grows a strange and magical herb.

Its entire body is blood red, and its shape resembles a phoenix spreading its wings.

This spiritual herb has nine leaves, each emitting a faint golden light.

Upon closer inspection, one can sense an extremely rich life force.

Just one sniff is enough to make you feel completely relaxed and relieve all your fatigue.

Lu Xuan's pupils immediately contracted.

"This is... the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass?"

Neither of them expected that the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass they had been searching for would actually appear right in front of them.

Su Qinghuan instinctively exclaimed in surprise and was about to step forward.

But in the next instant, a black light ripped through the void, shooting towards us like lightning...
