Chapter 128: The Spider Emperor

Lin Xu did not notice anything unusual about Ye Xuan and directly said, “Don’t think too much about it. This kind of thing should be very rare, maybe even unique. It has already been sealed away, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Ye Xuan nodded, leaving with a heavy heart. At this moment, only four words echoed in his mind: Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations!

In his past life, Ye Xuan was just cannon fodder, knowing very little about confidential matters, only some sensational events he had heard of.

But now, hearing Qin Heng’s words, Ye Xuan inexplicably recalled that soon, something strange would happen in the capital city—a chaos caused by the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations!

As the name suggests, the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations was mysterious and unpredictable. It possessed dozens of abilities, not to mention other miscellaneous skills.

Its most troublesome aspect was having five major abilities: duplication, invisibility, shape-shifting, substitution, and teleportation, along with many other chaotic abilities, making it extremely difficult to deal with and causing great destruction in the capital city.

The Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations had caused chaos for a long time until it was finally annihilated by an SS-class psychic ability user.

After the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations caused significant damage to the capital city, a celebration was held after its demise, and reporters interviewed the psychic ability user.

The psychic ability user detailed the process of killing the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations and mentioned that initially, it parasitized a human body to obtain various abilities, eventually growing into a major threat.

Fortunately, although the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations was versatile, it was vulnerable to psychic ability users, leading to its demise.

If that was all, Ye Xuan had nothing to worry about. The researchers had the juvenile Spider Emperor under control, eliminating any danger it posed.

Most importantly, in his past life, after the celebration, the psychic ability user was invited by a beautiful woman to spend the night together.

Given the intense mental pressure during the apocalypse, it was normal to relax a bit. The psychic ability user accepted the invitation, leading to a tragic end.

The woman turned out to be another form of the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations, with a higher class of evolution. The psychic ability user failed to notice any abnormalities.

In the hotel, after being injected with venom, he was dismembered and devoured, leaving no trace.

After avenging its kind, the second Spider Emperor mysteriously disappeared. It was far more cunning than the first one.

It might have hidden among the crowd, occasionally revealing its sharp fangs to kill and devour humans. Due to the immense crisis humanity faced, this Spider Emperor was adept at concealing itself.

Thus, it remained hidden until Ye Xuan and Su Mengli died in battle, and the Spider Emperor continued to thrive.

Ye Xuan’s thoughts turned to the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations because the black pearl emerged after Su Mengli burned a shapeshifter to death. Additionally, Lin Xu mentioned that consuming the black pearl could grant the person the abilities of the deceased.

The Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations, with over fifty abilities, perfectly matched the description. Ye Xuan was almost certain that the black pearl was the Spider Emperor’s egg.

Of course, the Flame Red Lotus fire failed to kill the Spider Emperor’s egg, which was understandable.

Firstly, Su Mengli’s power was relatively low, lacking strong destructive capabilities. Secondly, the Spider Emperor’s egg possessed robust defensive capabilities.

If the Spider Emperor hatched, it wouldn’t withstand Su Mengli’s flames, but in its egg form, it was different.

The egg form was similar to an unhatched chicken egg. Su Mengli’s fire could be likened to a lighter.

If you used a lighter to burn a newly hatched chick, it would be in great pain. However, if you used a lighter to heat a chicken egg, at least for a short time, the eggshell could protect the chick inside.

Ye Xuan was curious about the controlled Spider Emperor egg’s identity and whether it would be the impulsive, destructive one or the cautious, deeply hidden one.

The former would cause more immediate destruction but be relatively easier to deal with, while the latter wouldn’t engage in mass killings, creating less commotion but posing a greater hidden threat.

Although Ye Xuan speculated about the egg’s identity, he had no solution at the moment. He didn’t know the whereabouts of the other egg or when it would hatch, leaving him only to worry.

Leaving the office, Ye Xuan shook his head, temporarily putting the Spider Emperor of a Thousand Transformations aside.

This time, the live broadcast of killing the Nine Infants was fruitful. Mengli had ascended to the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, while Ye Xuan reached second place.

As soon as the rankings were finalized tomorrow, Ye Xuan could claim the Hammer of the Thunder God—a very handy weapon that would greatly enhance his strength.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had obtained three regular draws and an additional advanced draw brought by Long Hanjie.

Ye Xuan was eager to know what surprises the advanced draw would bring and how it differed from the regular draws.

The main event should be saved for last, so Ye Xuan silently thought, “Let’s start with three regular draws first!”

“Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Dual Cultivation Card, Venom, and an Auto-Cultivation Cards.”

Ye Xuan had previously received these two cards, with a seven-day validity period after activation, so there was nothing more to say.

This time, the Venom was a pleasant surprise for Ye Xuan.

Venom: Originating from the Marvel Universe, this miraculous symbiote can cover the host’s entire body, providing comprehensive strength, defense, speed, and endurance enhancements, but it amplifies the user’s emotions.

Note: Produced by the system, a high-quality product. The negative effects of Venom on the host have been removed by the system and will not affect the host in any way.

With Ye Xuan’s current physical qualities, the enhancements in strength and speed from Venom were negligible, but its defensive capabilities might still have some effect.

The main reason Ye Xuan found it surprising was that the shape-shifting ability of Venom could cover his entire body in black symbiote, giving him a cool appearance.

Moreover, during battles, he wouldn’t have to worry about accidentally tearing his clothes and exposing himself, preventing any embarrassing photos from circulating.

Ye Xuan treated Venom as a piece of clothing, not as beautiful as the Flowing Fairy Robe, but it had self-cleaning capabilities. After a fight, he wouldn’t look so disheveled.

Furthermore, this time’s three regular draws resulted in obtaining Venom, indicating that his luck was still good.

So, he believed that today’s advanced draw wouldn’t disappoint him.
