Transformation—this guy is actually about to reach the Nascent Soul stage and achieve transformation so quickly. When a demon cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage, it doesn’t form a nascent soul like a human, but instead gains the ability to transform, taking on human form and freely switching between its original form and human shape.

“Bang…” Ethan Clark swiftly dodged as two massive mutated spider king “arms” stabbed into the ground.

Before those two could be pulled out, the other two “arms” swept across.

“Damn, give you an inch and you take a mile.” Ethan Clark originally just wanted to see what was going on with this mutated spider king, but now realized it was already on the verge of Nascent Soul transformation. Ethan Clark didn’t dare be careless. For demons, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is a thousand times harder than for humans, but once achieved, their power far surpasses that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. Basically, if a demon at the early Nascent Soul stage fights in its original form, its opponent would need to be at least late Nascent Soul stage to stand a chance, or a mid-stage Nascent Soul with excellent magical treasures.

If it’s one of those with exceptional talent or a powerful original form, like a “flood dragon,” “giant python,” or “blue-eyed toad”… those of the same level simply can’t handle them.

Eight consecutive lightning strikes landed on all eight legs of the mutated spider king.

With a miserable screech, the massive mutated spider king crashed to the ground, smashing a huge pit into the earth.

After all, this mutated spider king was still a bit short of the Nascent Soul stage, and its original form was just an ordinary little spider, so under Ethan Clark’s lightning strikes, all eight legs were severely injured.

It didn’t shatter? This result left Ethan Clark dissatisfied and made him sense something was off. Even a true Nascent Soul-transformed spider king shouldn’t be able to withstand his lightning strikes. No, I have to kill it, dissect it, and study it thoroughly—there must be some benefit.

Ethan Clark raised his hand, and the super “Thunderstorm” he unleashed with full force was even stronger than when he fought Matthew Cooper.

Ethan Clark even felt blood trickling from his nostrils, and some veins and patches of skin on his body were bleeding as well. Damn, this body can’t withstand even stronger supernatural power, so this will have to do for now. Ethan Clark temporarily gave up on gathering even greater lightning power and struck directly.

“Boom…” The massive thunderstorm blasted a huge pit into the ground.

When the dust settled, Ethan Clark rushed down and saw only a few fragments scattered around. Wait, these fragments were all from the mutated spider king’s legs just now. With its body’s toughness, the thunderstorm couldn’t have reduced it to ashes. The rest…

Ethan Clark rushed to the bottom of the huge pit and saw that there was already a massive tunnel inside.

Damn, it actually dug a hole and escaped.

“Master, something’s happening over there.” At that moment, Olivia Smith’s shout came from above.

Ethan Clark shot up at lightning speed. At this point, Olivia Smith and Emily Harris were already carrying Lucas Walker and Benjamin Clark on their backs, facing outward back-to-back to meet the enemy, so that Lucas Walker and Benjamin Clark wouldn’t get hurt again.

After Ethan Clark’s earlier rampage and now the loss of the mutated spider king, the mutated spiders’ attacks had weakened considerably.

“Over there, the ground is sinking…” Olivia Smith pointed to where the mutated spider king had been when he saw Ethan Clark emerge.

Ethan Clark casually tossed a few thunderbolts around Olivia Smith and Emily Harris, then quickly rushed over.

When Ethan Clark arrived, he saw that the ground below had already sunk more than twenty meters. Looking down, he saw the mutated spider king whose two legs he had blown off. The creature was struggling to carry an irregular shard about half a meter long. On its massive body, the shard looked tiny, but the mutated spider king was clearly straining under its weight.

If the mutated spider king had just escaped underground earlier, Ethan Clark wouldn’t have bothered to chase it. But now that it was courting death, Ethan Clark certainly wouldn’t let it go.

This time, you’re not getting away—a level-eight thunderstorm struck down. In the cultivation world, there are six major realms: Fasting, Flight, Nascent Soul, “Heaven,” “Void,” and even “Immortal.” Previously, Ethan Clark’s supernatural abilities didn’t have clear levels, but after learning about the cultivation world, he compared his lightning abilities to these six realms, dividing them into eighteen levels. Now, he could basically reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which is level eight.

The injured mutated spider king seemed much slower to react and was struck directly by Ethan Clark.

“Boom…” The mutated spider king was blasted to pieces.

Unlucky creature—escaped only to come back and die. Looks like that shard really isn’t ordinary. Maybe the sudden appearance of such a strange place in the mortal world is because of it.

Right after Ethan Clark killed the mutated spider king, the other mutated spiders around immediately fell into chaos, starting to fight each other. Attacking Olivia Smith and Emily Harris became secondary. In this situation, Olivia Smith and Emily Harris no longer felt any pressure or danger.

Only then did Ethan Clark feel at ease enough to fly down on his sword to pick up the shard. But when Ethan Clark tried to pick it up by hand, he was surprised to find out why the mutated spider king had been so easily hit earlier. First, it was already badly injured with two legs destroyed, and second, it was because of this shard—it was just too heavy.
