The Demon Spirit Lake echoed with the clamor of battle. One after another, giant spiders, each as massive as small hills, fought with bloodshot eyes. Now, with formidable enemies invading, their survival hung by a thread. No one had anticipated that an ancient forbidden land, passed down since antiquity, would face such calamity today—all because of a single powerful physique that had drawn the covetous eyes of supreme experts.
“Charge in! Our destiny lies before us! With the Dual-Pupils and the Supreme Bone in our grasp, who could stand against us?!” Such roars shook the forbidden land, the bellows of supreme experts, their voices like thunder, making many souls tremble in fear.
After the battle in the Void God Realm, the world had witnessed the astonishing brilliance of the Great Stone—Shi Hao—who possessed two innate divine abilities, shaking the past and illuminating the present. Were it not for that little monster Shi Hao, who in the future could possibly restrain him?
In truth, this battle had erupted long ago. The moment the duel between the Twin Stones concluded in the Void God Realm, stealthy figures had already arrived, seeking to seize that coveted physique—only to be met with fierce resistance.
After all, this was the ancestral land of the Demon Spider lineage, layered with countless restrictions that inflicted heavy losses on the invaders, delaying them until reinforcements arrived.
**”Boom!”**
The heavens shattered, the earth quaked. Magical artifacts soared through the skies, unleashing terrifying fluctuations. Ancient temples and ruins crumbled into dust as chaos engulfed the land.
The mountain gates had long been destroyed. Supreme experts stormed in, slaughtering without restraint. Many giant spiders fell, their blood staining the ground, corpses littering the battlefield.
Yet, the Demon Spider Clan’s foundation was formidable. The ancestral formations awakened, weaving intricate arrays that unleashed beams of light, sweeping through the invading foes.
“Damn it all!” The master of the Demon Spirit Lake, an ancient elder of profound cultivation, had personally imparted many great techniques to Shi Yi. He had always harbored certain… *thoughts*—never expecting so many would come to snatch the prize today.
He had never imagined Shi Yi would lose, let alone be slain by that little monster Shi Hao. To seize the Dual-Pupiled physique was a supreme opportunity—if one could harmonize their spirit with it, cultivating through this body might lead to unrivaled dominance.
Yet, such an act carried immense peril. The slightest misstep could lead to the annihilation of both body and soul. After all, swapping vessels was a gamble few dared to take.
The master of the Demon Spirit Lake had hoped to nurture Shi Yi, only resorting to seizing the physique as a last resort. But now, with Shi Yi fallen, there was no choice. The body had become a beacon for covetous outsiders.
“Most of these supreme experts are either nearing the end of their lifespans or bear hidden injuries. Their paths have long been severed—that’s why they fight so desperately. More importantly, witnessing the battle in the Void God Realm stirred them deeply. The Dual-Pupils combined with the Supreme Bone proved *that* formidable,” a giant spider remarked.
For the Demon Spirit Lake, this was a catastrophe. Were it not for the lake’s defensive formations—enveloped in mist, swirling with treasure auras, dense with runes—they would have been annihilated already.
Even so, supreme experts had breached their defenses, shattering formation after formation.
**”Kill them!”**
Blood flowed freely. Figures clashed in the skies. Divine techniques shook the heavens.
**”Boom!”**
High above, a radiant spiderweb materialized, studded with stars and moons, rumbling as it ensnared an invading supreme expert, then began refining him.
“Disaster! A remnant formation left by a Heavenly God has awakened! It’s refining us alive!” someone screamed.
Though they had breached the defenses, every step was fraught with peril. This was, after all, the ancestral land of the Demon Spider Clan—a labyrinth of formations within formations, runes interwoven with runes, layered with countless contingencies.
In ancient times, this place had witnessed battles between sages and gods. Even in such cataclysms, it had endured—proof of its extraordinary nature.
Though time had eroded some formations, today’s invaders were not the supreme beings of antiquity. Thus, the Demon Spirit Lake’s lineage had not yet been extinguished.
“Old spider, you dare—**AHH!**” The trapped supreme expert roared, his body erupting in flames. Once caught in the Heavenly God’s remnant web, escape was impossible. He was swiftly refined, his form igniting.
“This…” The onlookers gasped.
It was horrifying. A supreme expert was about to perish.
**”Pfft!”**
A pillar of fire erupted, unleashing a devastating shockwave. A true supreme expert exploded, his divine power burning fiercely in an unquenchable blaze.
The death of such a figure sent shockwaves through the battlefield. Many grew wary—the Demon Spirit Lake was no easy prey.
“Hand over that body!” someone bellowed.
Despite the casualties, the invaders pressed on, some growing even more frenzied. Blood sprayed intermittently as the Demon Spirit Lake suffered heavy losses.
Supreme experts had come—not from a single faction—dooming the land to a river of blood. Though the defenses held, the Demon Spider Clan was being pushed to the brink. If this continued, they faced extinction.
The current Demon Spirit Lake lacked the supreme experts of antiquity to turn the tide.
**”Pfft!” “Pfft!”**
Heads rolled. Blood surged into the skies. The lake was dyed crimson as disciples fell in droves.
Yet, the invaders also paid a steep price.
Forbidden formations emerged. More supreme experts perished. This was a brutal, no-holds-barred battle—many had lost all reason, their eyes bloodshot with fury.
Above, spiderwebs woven from the most potent runes hung like galaxies in the firmament, suppressing all directions.
The battle intensified. The ground was littered with corpses, blood pooling beneath them.
**”Boom!”**
A floating ancient palace exploded—proof that a powerful supreme expert had breached the heart of the forbidden zone.
High in the sky stood a grand central palace, the most sacred place in the Demon Spirit Lake. All its legacies were stored there—and so was Shi Yi’s body.
“Wait—who is that woman?!” someone suddenly shouted.
A woman had appeared on the battlefield, striding forward unimpeded by the formations. With each step, she traversed thousands of feet, passing through the blood-soaked land to reach the forbidden center.
“Who is she?” Even supreme experts turned in shock. Some attacked, but the woman moved with uncanny grace, evading every assault as if she were phasing through reality.
The crowd tensed. This woman was no ordinary figure. If she sought gains here, she would be a formidable rival.
Clad in gray robes, her sleeves billowed, concealing her alluring figure. An aura of mystery clung to her.
Her attire was ancient, styled in a manner rarely seen in this era.
Her hair cascaded loosely, veiling her jade-like face. Yet, when the wind parted her locks, the glimpse of her features was enough to stun—a beauty so ethereal, perhaps only the Lunar Grace Goddess or the Witch could compare.
When the breeze revealed her eyes, they shimmered with a misty depth, occasionally flickering with the power of time itself—enough to make hearts tremble.
Her steps seemed unhurried, yet each stride spanned thousands of feet. The battlefield itself seemed to shrink before her.
“*That’s* the legendary **Shrinking the Earth to an Inch**—an ancient supreme divine ability!” someone murmured.
Some supreme experts recognized it—not an imitation, not hyperbole, but the genuine art, manifesting in the mortal realm.
At its peak, this technique was said to rival even the speed of the Kun Peng—one of the fastest in existence.
**”Boom!”**
A massive seal descended, radiating five-colored auspicious light, its strands cascading like a celestial mountain as it crushed toward the woman.
“The **Earth-Suppressing Seal!**” someone cried.
This was a renowned treasure, its fame echoing through history alongside artifacts like the Heaven-Overturning Seal.
Yet, the woman merely raised a delicate hand, a single rune glowing in her palm. With a gentle push, she repelled the colossal mountain.
**”Boom!”**
The five-colored peak was hurled back, its radiance illuminating the sky as it left the battlefield.
“Even if it’s not the true ancient Earth-Suppressing Seal, it’s still a rare artifact—yet she repelled it so easily. Just *who* is she?” Many trembled, their brows furrowed.
“It’s *her!*” The master of the Demon Spirit Lake, the ancient demon spider, recoiled in recognition.
When Shi Yi had emerged from the Ancient Sage’s Courtyard, the Golden Spider Supreme had reported seeing a mysterious woman accompanying him—one whose depths he couldn’t fathom.
Later, she had vanished without a trace, leaving even the Golden Spider bewildered. A portrait had been drawn, and now, seeing her in the flesh, the master was stunned.
Her power was unfathomable.
**”Boom!”**
Divine formations descended. Though fragmented, the spiderwebs were still formidable. Yet the woman’s body twisted with impossible flexibility, slipping through the gaps in the net.
The ancient runes and formations brushed against her, only to be repelled by a soft glow around her, neutralizing their power effortlessly.
With another step, she ascended to the central palace in the sky, her feet alighting on the jade steps as she approached the ancient hall.
Gasps rang out. This woman was terrifying—she moved as if the battlefield were her own domain. While the supreme experts had breached the lake, none had yet reached the central palace.
Yet she had arrived in moments, bypassing all obstacles.
**”Whoosh!”**
Treasure lights crisscrossed the sky. Magical artifacts surged like a boiling tide as both the Demon Spider Clan and invading supreme experts attacked, determined to stop her.
But before the palace, she employed **Shrinking the Earth to an Inch** once more—advancing, retreating, her movements a blur, each step resonating with the hum of the Great Dao.
“Heavens! She didn’t trigger the runes—she just *walked* into the central palace!”
She had evaded all attacks. The divine lights and artifacts struck the palace, only to be rebounded by the awakened formations, turning against the attackers.
“Stop her!” the ancient demon spider roared. Chaos erupted in the central palace as ancient formations revived and ancestral treasures trembled, shaking heaven and earth. The palace was on the verge of becoming a wasteland.
Yet the woman was too fast. With light steps that seemed to warp space itself, she arrived before a meditation mat.
There sat a youth—his skin crystalline, his eyes closed, devoid of spiritual fluctuations. It was Shi Yi.
The master of the Demon Spirit Lake lunged to intercept, but the woman flicked her sleeve, sending him flying as if carried by clouds. He landed far away, stunned.
Her cultivation was clearly superior—but to what extent? She was an enigma.
With a sweep of her sleeve, Shi Yi vanished from the mat. Then she turned and left, her steps carrying her thousands of feet at a time.
In three strides, she had crossed the battlefield.
In four, she was beyond the mountain gates.
Magical artifacts and divine abilities rained down, aiming to stop her. But she paid them no heed.
By her fifth step, she had vanished entirely—leaving all attacks to strike empty air.
