Hou Yuxiao gently wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth. The pain on his flesh was nothing to him; the Star Core in the abdomen of the Martial Spirit's phantom behind him was the true source of power for a Sub-Saint of Martial Dao. Just moments ago, when the Spider Demons struck, it seemed like the blow landed on his staff, but the power was all absorbed by the Martial Spirit phantom, bringing all the pressure naturally to the Star Core within the Star Sea.

The Star Core in the abdomen of the Demon Ape Martial Spirit was trembling incessantly. The demonic power of the Spider Demons had not completely dissipated and was still continuously infiltrating and corroding his martial arts world phantom. While Hou Yuxiao resisted with both hands, he was also continuously adjusting the Star Core to dissolve its demonic power.

As he resolved the demonic power, he glanced down below.

Chu Kuangren and the other eight were frantically bombarding the golden passage. Over ten channels had been opened more than halfway, and at least sixty to seventy people had already escaped from inside. However, judging by their weary expressions, it was evident that they had been trapped inside for far too long, and their bodies were not yet fully recovered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that you're out, don't just stand around. This Spider Demons ranks as Second. If you don't assist in taking it down, let's not even talk about the opportunities in the Treasure Vault; the question of whether we can even keep our lives is still up in the air."

Hou Yuxiao's voice was loud and, as it reached below, those sixty to seventy Sub-Saints of Martial Dao instantly changed their expressions. They were not foolish; at the moment they were rescued by Chu Kuangren, they basically understood what was going on. They immediately expressed gratitude to Chu Kuangren and didn't help Hou Yuxiao at first because they were still hesitating internally. But upon hearing Hou Yuxiao's words at this moment, they no longer hesitated and immediately went up to assist.

The truth is there was nothing wrong with Hou Yuxiao's words.

They were all here for the opportunities in the Treasure Vault, but with this Second Rank Spider Demons blocking the way, let's not talk about the opportunities in the Treasure Vault. If Hou Yuxiao were to be defeated, their own lives would be at risk too. If they don't join forces against the Spider Demons now, there won't be another chance.

Soon, sixty to seventy Martial Spirit phantoms appeared in the starry sky, some large and some small. The largest ones were over nine thousand zhang, hardly inferior to Hou Yuxiao's previous appearance, while the smaller ones were still six to seven thousand zhang. Though not overwhelmingly magnificent, they were numerous. As those sixty or seventy grand Martial Spirit phantoms appeared together, a large gathering of Sub-Saints of Martial Dao filled the starry sky with a formidable presence.

Moreover, as Chu Kuangren, Lu Kangping, and the other eight completed blasting the remaining golden passage open, over a hundred Sub-Saints of Martial Dao were completely freed. The moment everyone escaped, and upon seeing dozens of people joining Hou Yuxiao to deal with the Spider Demons, they immediately reacted and charged forward.

Over a hundred Sub-Saints of Martial Dao stretched across the starry sky, all attacking alongside Hou Yuxiao. The already terrifying momentum increased by dozens of times in an instant. Though the combined presence was still behind the Spider Demons, it was still far superior to when Hou Yuxiao was attacking alone.

"Saint Yuan Sword Point!"

"White Ming Sky-breaking Spear..."

"Moon Dew Brahma Soul Palm!"

"Tyrant God Saint Blade Technique!"

......

The phrase "strength in numbers" was vividly demonstrated at this moment. This group of over a hundred people, among the myriad beings of the thirteen provinces of The World, only a Saint's status was slightly higher than theirs. The collective presence of their strikes was difficult to find anywhere else in The World.

Over a hundred rays of divine light filled the space, carving countless rifts into the space. As Ying Tianyu just mentioned, this place is merely a realm within a realm inside the Treasure Vault Celestial Domain. The stability of space here cannot compare to Shenzhou. In an instant, the world shattered, and all the attacks had nearly destroyed the space before they even reached the Spider Demons.

However, the strength of the Spider Demons far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Faced with such a multitude of powerful attacks, the Spider Demons' crimson eyes showed no sign of clarity; instead, they became even more frenzied and bloodthirsty. Its eight blade-like limbs suddenly swung in the air, and its enormous demonic body instantly expanded several times larger.

It opened its bloodthirsty huge mouth, shooting webs all over the sky. These webs were not ordinary; merely during flight, they sliced through space, and their speed was incredibly fast, releasing hundreds consecutively, each heading towards one of the hundred or more people present. Everyone raised their weapons to resist, with Demon Ape Martial Spirits exerting their power, choosing either to dodge or confront, although reactions varied, not a single person retreated.

Although Indestructible Realm demons are formidable, there are more than a hundred people present.

Even if they're outmatched, surely one strand of web wouldn't eliminate them, right?

Almost everyone present had this thought.

But only Hou Yuxiao, watching the web fly towards him, had a glint of spectral color flash in his eyes.

"These webs can entangle Martial Spirits!"

"Not just that, they can also reach into my Star Core..."

"What is this? Help!"

"My Saint Core, it can't move."

"These webs can sever cultivation."

"Help, help, these webs are strange!"

......

Over ten terrified cries suddenly caused those still resisting to shudder deeply. They had no time to look at others but only stared dumbfounded at the white webs in front of them, watching their pupils gradually dilate in horror.

Those white webs weren't wrapping around their bodies but slowly circling and extending toward their Martial Spirit phantoms behind them. The webs seemed boundless, able to infinitely extend. In moments, they wrapped tens of thousands of zhang around the Martial Spirit phantoms, and as the Spider Demons exerted more force, the webs kept extending and thickening, going round after round of reinforcement. Some of the Martial Spirit phantoms, only six thousand zhang or so, are already losing their recognizable outlines. In just another moment, they might all be completely entangled.
