Shi Quan didn't hesitate much and made his choice. Good things must be used where they matter most. Instead of using it on the weakest Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to improve its quality, it was better to directly let the strongest mountain dragon king's torso bone transform again.
Only then could the power of the Spirit Bone's Breakthrough to Crystal be maximized.
On the other side of Sunset Forest, in the Poisonous Miasma Land where Dugu Bo had hunted the Thorn Queen with Shi Quan.
"Pfft!" With a sound, Tang San pulled out his Eight Spider Lances, his brows tightly furrowed as he looked towards the other side of Sunset Forest.
"Why have such powerful auras been erupting intermittently from Sunset Forest these past few days?"
With a snap, Tang San directly crushed the withered Spirit Beast corpse in front of him, a sinister aura of slaughter emanating from his body. "Could it be that my recent excessive consumption of Spirit Beasts has caused the powerful Spirit Beasts in Sunset Forest to detect something unusual?"
"My spirit power has already broken through to Level 60. The Spirit Beasts in this Poisonous Miasma Land are exceptionally powerful and have special Bloodlines. After finding a suitable 10,000-year Spirit Beast to absorb, I will leave Sunset Forest and return to Heaven Dou City to see my aunt. I've felt the commotion in Sunset Forest even in this place; others must have noticed it elsewhere. A simple investigation will reveal the truth. If it's due to my consumption of Spirit Beasts, then I'll just find another place to continue consuming!"
A violent glint flashed in Tang San's blood-red eyes. "With my current growth rate, I believe it won't be long before I can get my revenge. Shi Quan, Dugu Bo, just you wait for me!"
A terrifying, man-eating smile appeared on Tang San's face, and then he turned and strode deeper into the Poisonous Miasma Land.
As the saying goes, the older one gets in the Jianghu, the more timid one becomes.
Especially in this Poisonous Miasma Land, where Spirit Beasts are powerful and highly perceptive. He was alone, and even a slight carelessness could lead to his demise here. For the sake of revenge, Tang San was even more cautious at this moment.
Suddenly.
A chaotic spirit power fluctuation came from ahead.
"Are Spirit Beasts fighting?" Tang San's heart stirred, and he immediately stopped, quickly retreating a large circle to the side. He swiftly applied a layer of special poison to his body, blending his aura with the surrounding poisonous miasma, and cautiously approached the location of the battle.
Rustling of leaves and low growls could be heard.
Through the nearby bushes, Tang San saw eight purplish-black spider lances. The joints of the lances were covered in green hair, and they were full of viscous fluid, dripping onto the ground with a popping sound, instantly corroding and dissolving the leaves on the ground, releasing green mist.
"Is this a Death Demon Spider?" Tang San's expression changed in surprise, then turned to wild joy.
The Death Demon Spider was the emperor among spider-type Spirit Beasts; even the Soul Devouring Spider was slightly inferior to the Death Demon Spider. A 50,000-year-old Death Demon Spider could be called an Emperor. One of Bibi Dong's twin spirits was the Death Spider Emperor, and she specifically chose the Death Spider Emperor as her second Martial Spirit to Cultivate, which shows the power of this type of Spirit Beast.
"Looking at its size, its age is probably close to 35,000 years, which is just right for me. But what kind of Spirit Beast would make this Death Demon Spider so wary?"
Tang San curiously looked deeper, because he felt an even more powerful and chaotic aura opposite the Death Demon Spider.
Soon, a Spirit Beast completely covered in thick scales appeared in Tang San's line of sight.
This Spirit Beast's lower limbs were extremely thick, and it walked upright, with short upper limbs. But both its upper and lower limbs had three fingers, with sharp, gleaming claws.
The thick scales on its body were dark blue, appearing to be at least three layers thick and very heavy. It was four meters tall, appearing very majestic, with an exceptionally large head that almost occupied a third of its body size. It also dragged a thick tail over three meters long behind it.
Even Tang San hesitated when he saw this Spirit Beast, quickly searching his knowledge before barely recognizing what it was.
This was a Devouring Dragon, known as the mini Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Among ground dragons, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the most powerful. An adult Tyrannosaurus Rex could exceed fifteen meters in height, and after reaching 10,000 years of cultivation, it even had the potential to reach over thirty meters. In the world of Spirit Beasts, it was definitely a colossal existence, with physical offense and defense so strong that it could even rival true Dragons.
However, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not good at long-range attacks, and its powerful Devouring ability also limited it in other aspects.
The Devouring Dragon in front of him looked very similar to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but its size made it easy to distinguish. The Devouring Dragon was also good at defense, but unlike the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Devouring Dragon, also a ground dragon, had a very powerful innate Spirit Ability. Its innate Spirit Ability was called Devour Heaven and Earth. It was inherently bloodthirsty, and after killing an enemy, it could restore its own consumption and evolve by Devouring the enemy's body.
Devouring Dragons were extremely violent, and even at 10,000 years, they had almost no intelligence. In their eyes, there was only slaughter: killing opponents and eating them. Only when full would they pause their slaughter and fall into Devouring and slumber.
Speaking of Devouring, the most representative and powerful, of course, was the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger. However, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger possessed extremely high intelligence. The mental state of Devouring Dragons was generally chaotic, and they killed more by instinct. This made their species vastly different from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, but purely in terms of Devouring, the Devouring Dragon was in no way inferior to the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger.
The Devouring Dragon in front of him was already quite massive. From the color of the scales on its body and the length of its tail, it could be identified as a Devouring Dragon with 10,000 years of cultivation, specifically over 30,000 years.
At this level, the Devouring Dragon's strength was already quite terrifying, and it was no wonder that the Death Demon Spider, known as the emperor among spider-type Spirit Beasts, would show such a serious expression.
"It's actually a Devouring Dragon!" Tang San's blood-red eyes were filled with fervor, and he laughed inwardly, "Hahaha, heaven is truly helping me."
Once a Devouring Dragon targeted prey, it would be a fight to the death; either it died, or the other party became its food.
And he could simply wait on the sidelines for the spoils. Moreover, judging by the condition of the two Spirit Beasts, they had clearly been fighting for some time, so he wouldn't have to wait too long.
"Neither of them can be let go!" A cruel smile appeared on Tang San's lips.
In an instant, he had made up his mind. The Devouring Dragon's Devouring ability was perfect for his Blue Silver Grass, and the Devouring Dragon's defense was also extremely strong, which could greatly enhance the toughness of his Blue Silver Grass.
As for the Death Demon Spider on the other side, it would naturally become nourishment for his Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances. If he Devoured such a powerful Death Spider Emperor, it might even allow his Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances to evolve again!
Time passed minute by minute.
Both the Death Demon Spider and the Devouring Dragon were already covered in wounds.
Suddenly, the Devouring Dragon's huge head lifted, and a gaping maw opened, letting out an earth-shattering roar.
This stance clearly indicated it was preparing for a final desperate fight.
From the Devouring Dragon's open mouth, a dark blue airflow instantly formed, with the core of the airflow as black as ink. It was precisely its innate Spirit Ability, Devour Heaven and Earth.
Within a hundred-meter radius, it instantly became dim, and a terrifying Devouring force turned all Life within this range into nothingness, Devouring their energy, whether insects or plants, all met the same fate.
The Death Demon Spider's eight spear tips touched the ground, and a strong dark green light surged up. The eight long spears simultaneously propped up, and its figure soared with the dark green light. The Eight Spider Lances condensed eight crescent-shaped dark green lights head-on.
"Now!" Purple light shimmered in Tang San's eyes, and his hands shot out suddenly, "Whoosh, whoosh." Two black lights flashed.
"Hiss, hiss!" The sudden attack caused the Death Demon Spider's eyes to ache, and the light on its spider lances became even stronger, as it desperately unleashed its strongest attack.
The Devouring Dragon also felt the threat of death, and the black light of the dark blue halo frantically spewed out towards the Death Demon Spider.
Boom!
Under the violent collision, the Devouring Dragon flew backward directly, while the Death Demon Spider convulsed wildly in place, then turned and fled.
"Both injured, perfect!" A bloody glint flashed in Tang San's eyes. He stepped on a tree branch and quickly chased in the direction of the Devouring Dragon.
Before the Devouring Dragon could recover, "Bang!" Tang San summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and descended from the sky, smashing a hammer onto the Devouring Dragon's massive head.
"Pfft—" The Devouring Dragon's hard head was directly caved in by this hammer, and red and white substances simultaneously spewed out from its eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
The Devouring Dragon's body trembled a few times before falling silent, and a black spirit ring floated out.
"I must absorb it quickly, and then I have to go find that Death Demon Spider immediately." Without hesitation, Tang San immediately retracted his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit. His Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances extended directly from behind him, plunging fiercely into the Devouring Dragon's corpse.
"Mm." The continuous influx of power made Tang San's body tremble slightly, a comfort that made one unable to help but groan.
Having Devoured so many Spirit Beasts, his Physical Body strength had already reached an extremely high level, so Tang San believed he had sufficient confidence to absorb the spirit ring of the Devouring Dragon in front of him.
"I can absorb the spirit ring now." Tang San looked around, and to be safe, he took out some powder from his spirit tool and quickly poured it in a circle around him. Then, with a leap, he came to the Devouring Dragon's corpse and closed his eyes to guide the spirit ring.
Time passed little by little, and no Spirit Beasts came to the surroundings; the air was completely silent.
Several hours later, Tang San slowly opened his eyes.
"Level 62, almost Level 63, awesome!" He clenched his fists, feeling the continuous surge of power within his body, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration.
With a thought, he instantly understood his newly acquired sixth Spirit Ability: it was the Devouring Dragon's innate ability, Devour Heaven and Earth!
"A wide-range restrictive Devouring Spirit Ability." Tang San nodded slightly, quickly jumped onto a tree branch, and rushed in the direction he came from, because there was still a Death Demon Spider waiting for him there…
