Description[]
It couldn’t be denied that the Man Faced Demon Spider is a kind of extremely powerful spirit beast. Whether in strength, poison, or all its various abilities, it is a nightmare to the majority of spirit beasts. Its quality might not be as good as the Dark Devilgod Tiger, but to other spirit beasts, it is no less dangerous. They are also called Predator of Predators due to their strength. They are said to be very rare but Tang San has already encountered a number of them during his lifetime.
Man Faced Demon Spiders are extremely vicious and violent Spirit Beasts, the danger of this species is way beyond that of normal Spirit Beasts. Their entire body is a weapon: Its armour is as hard as stone, so dull weapons are unable to penetrate it; its body is filled with dangerous venom that eats starting at the heart and corrodes the bone; its web is venomous and extremely sticky, as well as hard and durable; and its legs are extremely sharp. Moreover, the Spirit essence of Man Faced Demon Spider is extremely tyrannical in nature, which makes it very difficult and even dangerous to absorb.
Once it reaches around 5,000 years, it can develop a measure of resistance to otherwise terrifying poisonous environments. And once it has reached 10,000 years of cultivation, the Man Faced Demon Spider gains a special stealth ability. This ability can conceal its figure as well as its aura, and it can even block spiritual force probes. After it reachs 50,000 years, it can be now called Man Faced Demon Spider Emperor. Its body is around three meters in diameter and its carapace is a strange dull golden color.
The more the Man Faced Demon Spider has aged, the more its face-pattern will look like that of a human. Its legs are the toughest part of its entire body, more than ten times stronger than refined iron.
