The magical water clock finally struck noon, and the sun was at its peak.

"Brother!" Jin Luosha had completed her preparations and turned to call out to Chen Xuanfeng as soon as the time came.

Chen Xuanfeng smiled, showing no sign of tension despite the impending challenge to a deity, and nodded. "Alright, be careful."

The silver-haired werewolf reached out with his right hand, his index finger pressing on the center of the dark elf girl's forehead. At the point where his finger touched, a complex and profound mark materialized on Ye Ge's forehead, the symbol of the elf contract between Chen Xuanfeng and Ye Ge. Simultaneously, his eyes shone with intense light, silver radiance nearly shooting half a meter from his pupils as he shouted, "Let go of your spirit and fully cooperate with me!"

The dark elf girl shuddered, her eyes turning silver in response, the contract mark on her forehead radiating light, bearing Chen Xuanfeng's immense spiritual power, charging towards the mark of the Spider Queen deep within her soul.

The Spider Queen's divine power far surpassed Chen Xuanfeng's spiritual power, so even at a disadvantage and under sudden attack, it still had the strength to resist. The moment it was attacked by Chen Xuanfeng's spiritual force, the mark suddenly burst into a seven-colored strong light, and the originally small mark rapidly expanded, wildly proliferating and strengthening, soon occupying half of Ye Ge's soul. Countless spider-shaped light points swarmed up, locked in a tug-of-war with Chen Xuanfeng's spiritual power.

Correspondingly, the spider-shaped divine necklace, which was originally coiled around Ye Ge's neck and surrounded by seven colors, also vibrated violently, hissing like an underground wolf spider, channeling waves of power into Ye Ge's body to support the spiritual mark of the dark goddess in her soul.

"Hmph, I was expecting this!"

Chen Xuanfeng sneered, his free left hand suddenly drawing the "Tiger Soul Blade" beside him, gently thrusting it, and the golden crystal blade plunged unhesitatingly into Ye Ge's chest.

"Bang—" The blade tip struck the pendant of the seven-colored spider necklace, and the magic crystal runes composed of dark divine power could not withstand the edge of the epic divine weapon, shuddering slightly before dissolving into a puff of shimmering colored smoke, which had no chance to disperse before being completely devoured by the purple blade light flowing on the "Tiger Soul Blade."

The long blade entered from below the throat, between the collarbones, piercing through the dark elf girl's chest, with over half a meter of the blade jutting out from her back, yet surprisingly not a single drop of blood spurted out. At the same time, there was no expression of pain on Ye Ge's face; instead, her cheeks lifted, and the light in her eyes suddenly became much brighter.

A weapon slave is bound to a divine weapon, who will be taken over by the weapon during battle, controlled by the weapon, seemingly losing much, but also gaining much. Besides continuously drawing power from the divine weapon, as part of the divine weapon, they will never be harmed by the divine weapon they serve, which is one of the benefits. Others, even Chen Xuanfeng, who personally created the power of the divine weapon as the first generation weapon master, do not have this ability. If the Tiger Soul Blade were to strike the silver-haired werewolf's chest, it would undoubtedly result in bloodshed without any doubt.

The Tiger Soul Blade struck the spider necklace, immediately breaking the pillar of the dark goddess's divine power, and the goddess's mark in Ye Ge's soul naturally dimmed. However, if Chen Xuanfeng's plan was merely for this purpose, he would not have waited until now to deal with this rune necklace. Soon, the result he truly anticipated emerged.

The immense purple power, before the Spider Queen's soul mark could cut off the energy channel, suddenly enveloped the mark composed of countless seven-colored spiders, isolating it from the core of Ye Ge's soul, forcing the power of the mark to contract inward, forming a self-protecting colored cocoon.

This was Chen Xuanfeng's true objective: to use his spiritual power to attract the Spider Queen's attention, while leveraging the close connection between the Tiger Soul and Ye Ge to protect the core of Ye Ge's soul. Otherwise, even if the Spider Queen's soul mark was incomplete, it could still drag Ye Ge's soul to mutual destruction at the moment of failure.

Having secured the initial advantage, the real contest began.

Although Chen Xuanfeng had already occupied various advantages, this contest was still severe.

The combined spiritual power of Chen Xuanfeng and Ye Ge, like a silver nebula, hovered above the soul world of the dark elf girl. The alien power of the Tiger Soul Blade formed a surging purple ocean below, and between the two was a cocoon of light composed of seven colors. The vortex center of the nebula continuously unleashed countless lightning bolts, and the undercurrents of the purple ocean continuously gave birth to towering tornadoes. The combined purple lightning wind columns constantly collided and twisted, with the sole aim of shattering the defense of the cocoon in the middle and extracting the core of the Spider Queen's original spiritual mark hidden within.

Each time the lightning or tornado collided with the cocoon, it could break a layer of the cocoon's shell, dimming the light of the cocoon. However, countless tiny seven-colored spiders on the outer edge of the cocoon perished and were reborn, pulling translucent threads, frantically repairing the continuously damaged cocoon, using a completely passive method to delay Chen Xuanfeng's offensive steps. Although they still could not offset the damage caused by Chen Xuanfeng's power, they greatly extended the time the cocoon could sustain.

However, would a terrifying deity like the Spider Queen be content to passively defend under the trampling and offense of a beastman?

Of course not, and this could be seen from the solemn attitudes of Chen Xuanfeng, Ye Ge, and the King of the Undead, who had been monitoring Ye Ge's soul all along. Inside the continuously defending cocoon, some change must be occurring, and this, they could all sense.

Suddenly, a massive and intangible wave erupted from the cocoon, directly traversing Ye Ge's soul, traversing the layers of the magic array, and spreading out in all directions across the vast space.
