Chapter 104: Xiangliu's One‑on‑One with the Spider God High Priest

Xiangliu now has only a fifth transformation, but in terms of base attributes it is not far off from the demigod-level Spider God High Priest.

Only in mana and health does it lag a bit.

Yet it can still easily handle this attack from the Spider God High Priest.

It simply releases a burst of lethal spirit light and easily blocks it.

Immediately, its nine heads spew corrosive poisonous saliva like a downpour.

This is not a skill, just a regular attack that costs little mana, but being hit still reduces a fair amount of health.

Originally, Lu Zheng planned to have all divine pets attack together, link their mana, and then slay the Spider God High Priest.

But after seeing its skills, Lu Zheng realized that its strongest attribute is its poison.

Since Xiangliu fears poison the least, let Xiangliu fight on its own so Lu Zheng can see the gap between a two‑hundred‑plus‑level fifth‑transformation divine pet and a four‑hundred‑plus‑level demigod.

Can a divine pet, with only its own support and no aid from other divine pets, stand against a demigod?

Having received Lu Zheng's order, Xiangliu began a full‑power assault.

Its nine heads spewed acidic poison mist as a probing attack to test the opponent's defensive limits.

After obtaining a rough assessment, it activated its domain skill.

【Skill: Drowning Domain】

【Effect: Consumes at least 10,000 mana to create a domain within a certain radius; everything inside becomes submerged. Deals at least 30,000 points of corrosive damage per second to targets within the domain, with damage increasing as the submersion intensifies, reaching ten times the damage per second when fully submerged.】

In an instant, a water area rippling with teal waves formed.

Xiangliu directly spent one million mana to unleash the skill, creating a massive area with a ten‑li radius.

The water depth reached over three hundred meters.

Generating that much water instantly over such a vast area would not be possible with just one million mana.

Besides Lu Zheng's added critical and luck auras, the key is that this skill can mobilize the forces of heaven and earth.

This is a hallmark of divine‑pet skills; otherwise, with their current mana reserves, the skill effects would be severely limited.

The massive mana combined with the critical effect allows it to deal a full three million damage per second to a target, and the damage can further increase as the submersion intensifies.

At this moment, the Spider God High Priest is enveloped in divine poison mist, resisting the Drowning Domain's effect, and flies upward.

She is now at the deepest part of the Drowning Domain, where the effect is amplified tenfold, dealing thirty million damage per second; even with strong defense that can offset five million damage.

If she cannot escape in time, seven seconds is enough to kill her! She rushes out of the deepest part of the Drowning Domain, and at that moment Xiangliu charges straight at the Spider God High Priest. Like a ferocious beast in the sea, its nine heads tear at the High Priest, periodically releasing lethal spirit light, preventing the High Priest from truly leaving the domain's range.

Under this relentless chase, although the Spider God High Priest cannot be fully suppressed inside the Drowning Domain, part of its body is still submerged.

It loses an average of five million health per second, which is no small figure.

If the battle continues, less than a minute could take this demigod‑level monster's life.

The Spider God High Priest, confident in her situation, immediately releases four jet‑black blades, each over ten meters long, that pierce straight into Xiangliu's body.

Skill: Bloodsucking Poison Blade!

This skill also inflicts continuous damage, and the blood‑sucking spider silk it generates siphons the target's life force into the user, both draining the enemy and restoring the user's HP.

Of course, this only slows her loss of HP and cannot offset the damage from the Drowning Domain and the attacks released by Xiangliu's nine heads.

In the next instant, the Spider God High Priest's form suddenly swells, her body covered by divine power, forming a shell similar to a magical manifestation.

This is her other skill, Spider God Avatar!

Lu Zheng did not rush to kill this Spider God High Priest, partly because he wanted to observe the effect of the 'Spider God Avatar' skill.

If nothing goes wrong, the magical form she now takes resembles the lower‑rank true god, the Blood‑Threaded Spider Demon Mother Empress Audela, whose aura and majesty are being simulated.

Generally, such avatar skills either grant an additional avatar‑state or bestow an extra skill.

Through the True Eye, Lu Zheng saw a layer of red energy enveloping her.

That energy further greatly weakened the Drowning Domain's damage.

The High Priest, now wielding the Spider God Avatar, exudes authority and roars.

"Die!"

Immediately, a mass of energy condenses beside one of Xiangliu's heads and erupts.

The violent impact nearly blew that head off Xiangliu, but fell short; the strongest effect of the 'Exploding Poison Star' skill is the toxin released during the explosion.

But unfortunately.

These poisons were absorbed by Xiangliu's Ten Thousand Poison Demon Body, converting into mana; instead of harming her, it restored a considerable amount of Xiangliu's mana.

With the mana replenished, Xiangliu immediately unleashed a AoE attack skill, 'Acid Rain Critical'.

Since the Spider God High Priest has transformed into the Spider God Avatar, her size is huge, making the damage area of Acid Rain Critical large and hard to dodge.

The acid rain Xiangliu creates is no ordinary rain; it fuses the primordial power of Xiangliu's divine beast, forming ultra‑strong corrosive toxin energy, further empowered by potent water‑type magic, possessing extremely severe erosion.

Even when it lands on the Spider God High Priest's formidable red defense layer, it directly produces a penetrating corrosive effect.

The Spider God High Priest again feels her life threatened and consecutively releases two skills.

A large amount of purplish-red poisonous mist was released, inside which the shadow of a demon spider seemed to dance, beginning to gnaw at every inch of Xiangliu's skin.

This is the effect of the skill "Evil Demon Poison Mist".

At the same time, the demon spider's divine light was released, the potent poison hidden within the gloomy light invading Xiangliu's body.

Xiangliu's nine heads roared together; this wasn't pain, but ecstasy! The immense toxic attribute energy instantly restored its mana to full, and in return, it immediately doubled the intensity of the Drowning Domain.

The Spider God High Priest was entangled by the excited Xiangliu and dragged into the depths of the Drowning Domain! Thanks for your support! Please keep reading! Please recommend!
