Immortals Step into Heaven

"Attack its abdomen!" Zheng Yuan shouted. Li Dahui understood, and the magic weapon in his hand transformed into a stream of light, striking the black snake's abdomen. The other demon cultivators also adjusted their attacks. The black snake seemed to sense danger and twisted its massive body in an attempt to evade, but the attacks were as dense as raindrops.

Zheng Yuan seized the opportunity and channeled his spiritual energy into the Water Ripple Sword, causing it to glow brightly. He leaped high and stabbed the snake's vitals in the abdomen. Xiao Hei seized the opportunity to unleash a spiritual shock, disrupting the snake's perception. The snake's tail swiped again, but Zheng Yuan nimbly dodged, and the Water Ripple Sword successfully pierced the snake's vitals.

The black snake let out a shrill scream and struggled frantically, its massive body thrashing around in the cave, forcing everyone to scramble to avoid it. Zheng Yuan gripped the Water Ripple Sword tightly, its blade sending a tremendous force through it, cracking and bleeding his knuckles. Li Dahui and the others, observing this, attacked again, attempting to suppress the black snake and relieve Zheng Yuan's pressure.

With everyone's combined efforts, the black snake's struggles gradually weakened, and it finally collapsed to the ground with a thud, sending up a cloud of dust. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could relax, an even more terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the cave.

Everyone was looking at the black snake's corpse. Before they could recover from the intense battle, the even more terrifying aura coming from the depths of the cave pressed down on them like a physical entity, making it hard to breathe.

We can't stay here any longer, let's go! Zheng Yuan shouted, leading the way in a run away from the source of the aura. Li Dahui and the other demon cultivators hurried to follow. But before they had gone far, a wall emitting a faint glow appeared in front of them, blocking their path. Runes flickered faintly on the wall, as if it were some kind of ancient restriction.

What should I do? Li Dahui frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety. Zheng Yuan stepped forward to investigate, trying to find a way to break the restriction, but the runes were so complex that he had no idea what to do.

At this moment, the terrifying aura grew closer, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if a gigantic creature was slowly approaching. Everyone turned and looked, only to see a gigantic figure emanating a dark aura gradually becoming clearer. It was a second-stage, early-stage Black Fire Spider, its body shrouded in black flames, and every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Always ready to flee! Zheng Yuan gripped the Water Ripple Sword tightly, his eyes fixed firmly on the Second Stage Early Stage Black Fire Spider. Li Dahui and the demon cultivators also prepared their magical weapons and stood ready.

The Black Fire Spider walked over to the black snake's corpse, glanced at the group, a glint of brutality in its eyes, and then suddenly opened its maw, spewing out a torrent of black flames that swept towards them. Zheng Yuan swung his sword, creating a curtain of water in an attempt to block the flames. Li Dahui and the others also cast defensive spells. Various lights intertwined and collided with the black flames, emitting a violent roar.

Zheng Yuan's water-patterned sword stabbed straight at the black fire spider's abdomen. Just when it was about to touch, the black flames on the black fire spider suddenly exploded and turned into a wall of fire. Zheng Yuan felt a powerful heat wave coming towards him, and he had to dodge sideways.

Li Dahui's flame chains once again wrapped around the spider's long legs, pulling hard to restrict its movement. The demon cultivators seized their opportunity and rained down a variety of attacks on the spider. However, the black fire spider stomped its foot, and a dark spiritual power spread from its feet, shattering the demon cultivators' attacks and shattering the flame chains. Li Dahui was hit by the backlash and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"This beast is too powerful! Splitting our attacks isn't the solution," Zheng Yuan shouted. He looked around, his eyes landing on some ancient instruments nearby. An idea struck him. "Everyone, follow my lead. Lead it to those instruments first!" Zheng Yuan spoke as he ran toward his target, occasionally turning back to attack the Black Fire Spider to draw its attention.

Everyone understood and moved in that direction. The black fire spider roared angrily and pursued them relentlessly. When they approached the ancient instruments, Zheng Yuan ordered them to disperse and circle around the instruments to fight the spider. During the pursuit, the black fire spider accidentally smashed some of the instruments, causing them to emit strange rays of light. When the light touched the black flames on the spiders, it actually showed signs of weakening the flames.

Now is the time to concentrate your attacks on the areas where the light shines! Zheng Yuan shouted, swinging his Water Ripple Sword once again, stabbing towards the areas on the spider where the light was gleaming. Li Dahui and the demon cultivators also regained their spirits and launched their strongest attacks in the same direction.

Under the desperate, concentrated attack of the crowd, the black fire spider sustained some damage, but its counterattack was as ferocious as a raging wave. Its massive, steel-like claws rose high, then swung down fiercely with a whistling sound that seemed to tear the sky apart.

A demon cultivator's movements were slowed by fear, and he was unable to dodge, and was instantly struck by the claws. With a single "puff," the demon cultivator's body shattered like fragile porcelain, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing onto the surrounding ancient instruments.

The bloody smell quickly filled the air, mixing with the decayed smell that had accumulated on the utensils over the years, emitting a disgusting and extremely pungent fishy smell.

Then, without a moment's pause, the Black Fire Spider's massive body swiftly shifted, launching another deadly attack. Its ferocious claws swung out like the Grim Reaper's scythe, drawing another demon cultivator into its vortex of death. Terror and despair filled the cultivator's eyes, and before he could even utter a scream, his life was abruptly ended.

Even the demon cultivator surnamed Sun could not escape this cruel fate. The black fire spider's attack struck like lightning. Sun struggled to dodge, but the spider's speed was far too great. He felt a surge of overwhelming force crash into him, sending him flying. His body traced a tragic arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His body twitched a few times before he fell still. The light of life faded from his eyes, leaving only deathly silence and Zheng Yuan and Li Dahui.

As Li Dahui watched the demon cultivator surnamed Sun being brutally murdered by the black fire spider, the fear in his eyes instantly reached its peak. His legs began to tremble uncontrollably, his mind completely consumed by the shadow of death.

He no longer cared about anything else, turned around and ran away wildly, even throwing away his magic weapon in a panic.

His figure appeared disheveled and flustered in the dim cave, and his hurried footsteps echoed in the silent space, like the knell of death.
