Chapter 508 - A massive leg

Translator: Aran

The Central Domain Gate was already nearly hundreds of meters tall, and could be called a titanic object. But at this time, within the massive Domain Gate, there was a ripple in the air like a quicksilver mirror flickering. It seemed like there was some sort of massive thing attempting to come out.

It seemed like a massive black spear.

It was so massive that only a part of the spear was already thousands of meters long.

For such a weapon, it absolutely was like one of those apocalyptic demon king weapons in the legends.

Under such a comparison, the Central Domain Gate was somewhat miniscule. It was like a rotten and decayed wood door, as if at any moment it would be broken apart by that gigantic spear.

That gigantic spear, flickered with a black glimmer under the sunlight.

The body of the spear was large and stange. It was unknown what material it was constructed from, on the surface there were needle like thorns all around it. Between the crow black thorns, there were strange bright diagrams of all different sorts of colours. From the diagrams there was a demonic aura that was so strong and vicious that was emitted, it was like it was a real solid object, that it was currently destroying everything around it.

Boom!

The black spear struck the ground.

Every time it heavily struck the ground, the huge impact was as if the entire world was quaking.

Right now, Lin Zheng and the others could already sense this disturbance.

That Greater One Sect disciple called Lin Yi was also brought over. He had formation shackles on his hands and legs, and he stood behind Lin Zheng. Seeing such a scene, it was hard to disguise the huge horror and fear he felt on his face.

"Demon Spider Race.....The Demon Spider Race has descended."

He lost his composure and screeched. It was like he was a mother hen that had been frightened. Previously, he was prideful and calm, but right now he was shivering in fright. He turned around, wanting to flee.

Ye Qingyu, hearing this, was confused.

But very quickly, he suddenly understood what the situation was. With a face of surprise he looked towards the Central Domain Gate, as well as that black patterned huge black spear that extended out from the Domain Gate.

This was not a spear at all.

This was just... the leg of a spider.

Heavens, just how large would the spider have to be, that it would have such a massive leg?

For even just one leg to be terrifying. Then the Demon Spider on the other side of the Central Gate, it must be at least tens of thousands of meters high, an existence just like a vast towering mountain range?

It was merely a leg. It was like it was constructed from black molten iron, flickering with a fearful crow black light. So those thorns were the fur on the leg of the Demon Spider. They were sharp swords, enough to kill an adult.

"Stop it, quickly stop it. Don't let it pass through the Domain Gate." Lin Yi was under the control of two experts from the Imperial Guard and had no way of running away. He could only begin madly screaming, "Once the Demon Spider descends, your domain is finished.”

Those young Greater One Sect disciples were so scared their faces werelike the colour of soil. Their legs nearly weakened and bowed to the floor.

There were looks of contempt and disdain on the faces of the experts from the Snow Empire's Imperial army.

Lin Zheng did not have the time to divert his attention too such.

He waved his hand

The ten archers of the Imperial Guard shot out arrows from their longbows.

The strength of every one of the arches was at the peak of the Spirit spring stage. These were divine archers that were chosen amongst thousands. The bows held in their hands were formation strongbow's, and the arrows were formation armour piercing arrows. The arrows broke through the air, so fast that one could nearly not follow it's trajectory.

Before the quiver of the bowstring that was made from the tendons of dragon beast legs had stilled, the arrow had already accurately impacted on the leg of the Demon Spider.

It was only the distance of a thousand meters away. Since the target was so massive, there was absolutely no way it would miss.

But before the armour piercing arrows had even landed on the huge spider legs, it had already been completely dissolved by the black demonic qi. With sizzling sounds, it turned into wisps of smoke.

Facing such a scene, Lin Zheng and the others took a deep breath in.

"Aim the cannons, shoot the formation energy cannons for me."

Old Commander Li Guangbi shouted.

Crash!

Amidst the huge fluctuation of energy, there was a formation warship suspended in the skies. With a great recoil, there was a beam of light that was projected from the bow of the ship that shot out like a divine sword with a roar towards the leg of that gigantic spider.

At the same time.

There were several siege cannons that also shot out at the same time.

Siege crossbows that were half a meter in diameter and sixteen meters long, under the enhancement of the formation array, were like divine swords being unsheathed. The bolts tore through space, flying out.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the formation energy cannon had struck the gigantic spider's leg as well as the formation crossbows.

But before cheers had even sounded out, there were breaths of cold shock all around.

The thick and heavy crossbow bolt passed through the black demon qi but was quickly corroded. The formation that was etched onto its body was destroyed, and that bolt that was made of steel was like rotten wood. It struck upon the leg of the black spider, but it was not even able to break apart one of it's hairs.

And although the formation cannon from the warship had managed to strike the spider leg, but only a couple of hairs were broken off. That was the only result. It did not go according to others’ expectation, that the black spider leg would directly be snapped off.

"It's useless, it's useless..."

Lin Yi cried in despair.

"This is a Demon Spider at the Immortal stage. it's not something you can take care of, this Demon Spider must want to take vengeance for it's comrade. It's impossible for you to stop it, impossible..."

Lin Yi howled.

He had nearly gone crazy.

There was a glimmer in Ye Qingyu's eyes.

He grabbed at something through the air. A violet-coloured light flickered. A beautiful decorated luxurious long bow with violet light flickering around it, appeared in his hands. This was namely the [Violet Cloud] bow that had been taken from the hands of the [Violet Eagle] in the battle of the City of Light that day.

The other hand pulled back the bowstring, the piercing cloud arrow appearing.

Xiu!

When the bow string quivered, the Piercing Cloud Arrow had already passed through layer after layer of black demonic qi, shooting at the demonic spider leg.

With Ye Qingyu's current state, although his yuan qi cultivation was weak, but the power that his fleshly body possessed was absolutely terrifying. The [Violet Cloud] bow was instantly drawn back to a full moon. The explosive power that the strike had was enough to shock the heavens.

Boom!

The black spider leg's quaked.

It had finally hit.

There was a series of cheers that exploded from the Imperial Guard.

But the next instant, all the cheers suddenly halted, as if they were ducks that had their necks grabbed at.

Because although the Piercing Cloud Arrow had struck it's target, but after it had hit the spider leg, it was sent rebounding high and far away. It headed towards Ye Qingyu's direction where he shot it from, coming back with even greater speed.

"Danger!"

There was someone who shouted.

Ye Qingyu's eyes narrows slightly. He only lifted his hand, and easily retrieved the Piercing Cloud Arrow that was sent flying back in his palm.

His palm was slightly warm.

"Careful of the poison, the poison of the Demon Spider has no antidote in the entire world..."

Lin Yi shouted from the side.

As expected, in the Piercing Cloud Arrow that was shot back, there was a faint hint of black demonic qi. Through the body of the arrow, it seemed to want to seep into the skin of Ye Qingyu's palm. It twisted and made a low roar, as if it was a living thing. It was extremely creepy and horrifying.

The gaze that Lin Yi stared at Ye Qingyu with was like he was looking at a dead person.

In Clear River Domain, the Greater One Sect had fought unendingly with the Demon Spider Race. As one of the disciples of the Greater One Sect, he understood better than anyone just how terrifying the poison of the Demon Spider Race was. Once infected, even an expert at the Immortal stage would perish.

But...

There was a flash that appeared on Ye Qingyu's hand. The [Supreme Ice Flame] instantly refined and purified the black demonic qi from the spider.

Seeing such a result caused Lin Yi to be dumbfounded, so shocked he could not speak.

To think he could purify the poison?

Looking at Ye Qingyu from far away, there was suddenly a bright glimmer deep within his pupils.

At the same time.

Ye Qingyu looked at the massive black spider's leg that was still causing the earth to madly shake, then looked at the Central Domain Gate that must be about to burst open at any time due to the size of this leg. He smeared a shred of [Supreme Ice Flame] on the Piercing Cloud Arrow, then once again knocked the arrow to his bow.

"I will return your greeting!"

The arrow once again shot out accompanied by his low shout.

Xiu!

The air was pierced like a wave.

The speed of the Piercing Cloud Arrow was so shocking that even with the vision of Lin Zheng and the others, they had no way of capturing the trajectory of this arrow.

Ding!

A light sound.

The arrow shot into the spider's leg, going three inches deep.

Finally... it's defenses had been broken?

Within the world, there was suddenly a strange atmosphere that emanated everywhere.

The earth that was originally madly shaking suddenly stilled, and the gigantic black spider's leg that was about to break the Central Domain Gate stopped. It did not move, as if it had gotten fatigued.

From extreme movement, to extreme stillness. This transformation caused everyone to be taken aback.

"What happened?"

"It's stopped...“

"This arrow... could it have killed it?"

There were some that were utterly shocked. As the gazes of everyone focused on the direction of the Central Domain Gate. Could the divinely fast peerless arrows that Ye Qingyu had just shot out right now really have killed that Demonic Spider?

There were some people that believed so happily in their heart.

But Ye Qingyu did not believe so.

He frowned. He walked step by step closer to the Central Domain Gate.

Seeing this scene, the Right Minister Lin Zheng instinctively wanted to halt him. But after a brief thought, he finally stopped himself.

Ye Qingyu neared step by step.

The more he got close, the more he could feel the terror that this giant demonic spider leg inspired. It was like it was a pillar that supported the sky. It could not help but make one's heart shiver. There was fresh and incomparably strange patterns on the black leg of the spider, and every hair on it was like a sharp blade.

Suddenly, there was a faint quiver.

Due to the fact that he had gotten closer, Ye Qingyu could see the bright and colourful patterns on the giant spider's leg suddenly lighting up. The hair that slightly dropped down suddenly grew tense again...

An acute sensation of danger suddenly enwrapped Ye Qingyu's heart.

He instantly turned around, shouting, "Careful, retreat, retreat backwards!"

The moment he turned around, there was a series of acute and painful sensations, as if there were thousands of arrows piercing through his heart. There was something behind that was madly striking at his back, and there was the sharp sounds of items piercing through the air by his ear. Then his entire person was sent flying towards the crowd...

In the skies, Ye Qingyu could see the scene of fresh blood dyeing everything red.

There were countless black steams of it which flowed out like a mad surging black tide. In Ye Qingyu's vision, every expert of the Imperial Guard, as well as the troops behind them, after being attacked by the black tide, they were like wheat under the scythe, falling down...

As well as the battleship in the sky, and the other ships around it. They were all struck by the black flow. The humongous power they held were instantly disassembled, and nearly was shot through to become sieves. The body of the ships exploded, and all the experts on it tragically died. There were some that managed to transform into streams of light that escaped with their lives.

The energy barrier of the huge ship could not block it in the slightest. On the floors and walls of the armoured ship, there were many holes that had been caused by the black stream of projectiles.

On the ground.

The front row of the formation of the Imperial Guard had nearly been completely annihilated. Under that strange black flow, even experts that were half a step into the Bitter Sea stage were like paper scarecrows. The yuan qi protecting around their body was instantly destroyed, tragically dying on the spot…
