Chapter 307: The Earth Crystal Spider Strikes Again
Xu Fan gazed at Xu Lingtai and sighed, “Even my disciple’s disciple has a wife now. I wonder what my wife is up to these days.”
His slightly wistful tone made Xu Gang, standing beside him, feel a pang of sadness.
“Master, if it’s too hard, maybe you should find another wife,” Xu Gang suggested.
He worried that his master might struggle with being alone for too long, especially since he’d been acting a bit odd lately, occasionally breaking into random laughter.
“I remember your master’s wife treated you well, didn’t she? You never lacked spirit pills or treasures, and this is how you repay her?” Xu Fan shot Xu Gang a look. Normally, he’d have subjected him to an illusion as punishment, but today he was in a good mood and let it slide.
“I just hate seeing you lonely, Master,” Xu Gang said earnestly.
“You’re worrying too much. Stop meddling in my affairs. Here’s a task for you: reach Transformation God within 100 years, or you’re out on your own,” Xu Fan declared.
“Fifty years will be more than enough,” Xu Gang replied with a grin, his body glowing with five-colored spiritual light, perfectly harmonized.
“Not bad. You’re starting to look like a proper Senior Brother,” Xu Fan nodded approvingly.
“As for your son’s marriage, you and your wife can handle it. I won’t get involved.”
“Understood,” Xu Gang said.
Xu Fan glanced at the midday sun and picked up the specially prepared food box from the cafeteria.
In Wang Yulun’s courtyard, Xu Fan sat down to share a meal with him.
“Big Brother Xu, just tell me straight—when am I going to die?” Wang Yulun asked calmly, his eyes fixed on Xu Fan.
“Probably around the time the universe collapses,” Xu Fan replied offhandedly.
“Don’t joke with me, Big Brother Xu. I just want to see Xingci one last time before I go,” Wang Yulun said.
“Don’t worry, you’ll see him. He’ll be back soon,” Xu Fan assured him.
These days, sharing meals with his dear friend had become part of Xu Fan’s daily routine. He had already made all the necessary preparations, waiting for that strange power to erupt so he could sacrifice a thousand years of his life for his brother.
Such a profound brotherly bond.
“Hearing that from you is enough for me, Big Brother Xu,” Wang Yulun said, resigned to the fact that he would likely perish in the next secret realm eruption.
Though he knew his fate was sealed, there was still a flicker of longing for the world in his eyes.
Looking at Wang Yulun, who seemed to have transcended worldly concerns, Xu Fan smiled. *When you see me giving up a thousand years for you, you’ll understand just how meaningful your existence is.*
After leisurely finishing the meal with Wang Yulun, Xu Fan made his way to the underground space alone. Grape had reported some urgent news.
In the underground space, Xu Fan listened to Grape’s report, his expression growing complex.
“The soul iron monkeys have found a passage to the human race. Has it really come to this so soon?” Xu Fan muttered.
The fusion of the two realms would begin with the merging of the Extreme Void Domain, followed by the land itself, guided by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, merging in sections.
Xu Fan speculated that the spaces of the two realms had already connected. Under the influence of unique spatial laws, natural formations linking the two continents would likely appear.
“Seal that passage with everything we’ve got. It might not do much, but it’ll buy some time for the human race on the other side,” Xu Fan ordered.
“Understood,” Grape replied.
Xu Fan then turned his attention to the light curtain, observing the progress of the soul iron monkey base.
“They’ve done well here. It’s a shame this area will soon become a battlefield between the two realms. We’ll have to move,” Xu Fan said with a hint of regret, lamenting the effort wasted on building here.
"Grape, move all the valuable items from this base back to the underground space."
"Understood."
Just then, an alarm blared throughout the underground base as a one-person-sized Earth Crystal Spider suddenly burst into the base, clearly at least at the Void Refinement Stage.
As soon as the one-person-sized Earth Crystal Spider entered, it began to wreak havoc, countless invisible webs began to envelop the underground base, and the busy tool puppets in the base were cut into small, neat pieces.
"A familiar aura," Xu Fan squinted. This energy felt similar to the Earth Crystal Spider that had escaped from him last time.
A Refining Void Puppet appeared beside Xu Fan and started walking toward the teleportation formation leading to the demon race’s second base.
"This little spider is quite skilled."
Dozens of Transformation Stage heavy armor puppets were soon covered by the Earth Crystal Spider’s supernatural abilities, turning into a pile of parts on the ground.
At that moment, the Earth Crystal Spider looked around the underground base in delight.
"What a coincidence! Last time, that nest was taken over by my mother, but this time it should belong to me."
The crystal-clear Earth Crystal Spider examined the nest that would be hers with six curious eyes.
"If that monkey shows up again, I will eat you without mercy," the little Earth Crystal Spider said, revealing its sharp little teeth.
Last time, when it was still at the Transformation Stage, it was instantly subdued by a Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey. This underground nest had the same style; it wondered if a Five-Spirit Enlightened Monkey would appear again, preferably the same one as last time.
"There are no monkeys this time; instead, it’s changed." A Void Refinement stage puppet appeared in front of the Earth Crystal Spider.
"For the second time, my two underground bases have been destroyed because of you."
"This time, let’s see if you have any tricks to escape from me," the Void Refinement stage puppet said, surrounded by countless red threads for protection; the Earth Crystal Spider’s webs couldn’t harm the puppet at all.
"You are doomed," the Earth Crystal Spider shouted, baring its tiny sharp teeth.
"I’ve changed my mind; how about coming under my wing as a mascot?" The puppet looked at the Earth Crystal Spider’s cute appearance and said.
"You can die."
The Earth Crystal Spider leaped and jumped onto an invisible web in the void, then completely vanished into the air.
"Oh, you have spatial talents. I’ll play with you," Xu Fan, who controlled the puppet, said with a smile.
The puppet extended its finger and gently flicked it toward the void, causing the ground to vibrate as if a string had been plucked.
The entire earth began to emit mysterious waves, and the surrounding space was instantly locked down.
The Earth Crystal Spider was forced out, and a spiritual energy hand reached out to grasp the Earth Crystal Spider.
The spiritual energy hand loomed like five towering mountains, pinning the Earth Crystal Spider down and rendering it unable to move.
"You think you’ve won?" the voice of the Earth Crystal Spider echoed through the space.
A sharp blade suddenly appeared, piercing directly into the energy-converging core of the Refining Void Puppet.
"Boom~~"
The Refining Void Puppet exploded, causing the underground base in the area to collapse.
As the dust settled, the Earth Crystal Spider used its demonic energy to prop up the surrounding space and looked at the scattered puppet parts with satisfaction, saying, "I know you’re nearby, but you are far from being able to challenge me."
At that moment, the Earth Crystal Spider felt immense satisfaction, experiencing a thrill of revenge.
Just as the Earth Crystal Spider was feeling proud, colorful threads appeared from all sides, binding it into a large zongzi, leaving only its head exposed.
Xu Fan controlled the puppet and appeared in front of the Earth Crystal Spider.
"How does victory feel?"
