Arcane Universe - Chapter256

Just as Feng Chou thought of this, Qiankun Pagoda thoughtfully placed a small window in his line of sight. In the small window, Priest Drow was standing on the Black Widow's back, casting a spell. A huge portal slowly appeared in front of her. Once the portal stabilised, a group of demon-hunting spiders rushed out of the portal.

It turned out that Priest Drow had opened the portal to the 66th level of the Abyss, the Weave Pit, and summoned these demon-hunting spiders.

The Abyss was one of the outer planes. The so-called outer plane was a plane dominated by spirit. The Abyss was the manifestation of many evil and chaotic spirits in this world.

The gods of this world would only create their own divine kingdoms in the outer planes, receiving the souls of their believers to be reborn in their divine kingdoms.

The Weave Pit was the plane that the Queen of Spiders' divine kingdom was attached to. It was said that the divine kingdom of this powerful god had now completely occupied and devoured this level of the Abyss.

Creatures of the outer planes and those of the main material plane had completely different biological attributes. Creatures of the main material plane had their spirits attached to matter, which meant that their souls attached to their bodies. Creatures of the outer planes, on the other hand, had their bodies attached to their souls.

It was this completely different way of existence that made it so that although creatures of the outer planes could enter the main material plane, they could not live there for long. They would constantly be rejected by the laws of the main material plane. The stronger the creature that entered the main material plane, the stronger the repulsive force would be. This repulsive force would grow stronger and stronger until the creature that entered the main material plane was expelled from the main material plane.

This was why the devils and demons of the outer planes were extremely powerful, and why they yearned for the souls of creatures of the main material plane, but were unable to invade the main material plane on a large scale.

The reason why the devils and demons of the outer planes tried to harvest souls from the main material plane was because, although the outer planes were a spiritual space, they could not produce new souls themselves. Without the endless supply of souls from the main material plane, the outer planes would become rootless water.

Seeing this portal, the knowledge of the lower planes involuntarily appeared in Feng Chou's mind.

Feng Chou ordered Qiankun Pagoda to close the window and turned his attention back to the battlefield.

Although the Behemoth was powerful, it was still fighting alone. After being entangled by two giant spider spirits that were also Legendary Creatures, it could not even protect itself. It could not free itself to stop the tide of Demon-Hunting Spiders.

In the Kingdom of Drow, these giant spider sprites were known as the "Spider Queen's Messenger". They were created by the Queen of Spiders using Legendary-level Drow Elf Matriarchs who had made mistakes or fallen out of favor. The Legendary-level Black Widows were needed to create these spider sprites.

The Queen of Spiders used a large-scale divine ritual to combine the upper body of the legendary Drow Matriarch and the body of the legendary Black Widow.

The combination of the two was not as simple as 1 + 1. The combination of the legendary Black Widow's powerful body and the powerful magic of Drow Matriarch would produce a terrifying qualitative change. Even the Behemoth, known as the king of land battles, was no match for the two of them. It could only desperately hold on.

If the Behemoth could not hold on, the two elementary legendary Asteel Golems and a dozen quasi-legendary Black Steel Golems behind it would not be able to stop the two terrifying Spider Queen's Messengers, not to mention that they were already exhausted from running for their lives.

After the two Asteel Golems and a dozen Black Steel Golems were entangled by seven or eight Black Widows and dozens of Demon-Hunting Spiders, the remaining Demon-Hunting Spiders and Drow Warriors had already crossed the line of defense and swarmed towards the Nature Elves.

After the battle began, the Nature Elves' Druids began to transform. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with large and even giant Ferocious Bears, Ferocious Tigers, Ferocious Lions, Manticores, Six-Armed Gorillas, Razor Boars, Terrorclaw Beasts, Elemental Elders … All kinds of strange creatures appeared one after another, howling as they collided with Drow Warriors and Demon-Hunting Spiders. The Elven Rangers also put away their bows and arrows, pulled out the short swords or scimitars at their waists, and rushed into the enemy group, clashing with Drow Warriors and Demon-Hunting Spiders.

Only the elves in golden armor in the crowd were indifferent, protecting a female spellcaster in the middle.

Seeing that the battlefield was still in a stalemate, at the back of the Drow Elves' side, the Priest of Drow standing on the back of the legendary giant Black Widow raised his staff again, and once again opened the portal to the Magic Net Pit. Several Black Widows and dozens of Demon-Hunting Spiders swarmed out of the portal once again.

The elven spellcaster, who was protected by the elves in golden armor, looked at the portal in the distance and could not help but frown. The spider summoning spell of the Queen of Spiders was too shameless. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on sooner or later.

However, the Queen of Drow was very cunning and hid outside the spellcasting range, so that she could not use the Dimensional Lock to stop the summoning. They lacked powerful Rogues on their side, and the legendary Druid Kellenborn's Behemoth was entangled by the Queen of Spiders. They could not interrupt the spellcasting of the Queen of Spiders. If she continued to summon like this, they would be overwhelmed by the spiders sooner or later.

To make matters worse, the Queen of Spiders had already used a magic circle to seal off the communication spells near the battlefield.

The worst thing was that the legendary spellcaster on the side of the Nature Elves had been caught in the Queen's Dimensional Lock at the beginning. The Druids did not know spatial spells, so they could only rely on flying to break out of the encirclement. They did not know how long it would take for the Druids of the Talons to bring back reinforcements.

Just when the Nature Elves were anxious, a long dragon's roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

Kellendier led the Druid legion of Cenarius to the battlefield. He originally planned to send a few Druids of the Talons to check the situation when he arrived near the battlefield. He did not expect to meet a few Druids of the Talons who were asking for help halfway. This time, the Druids of Cenarius no longer had any doubts and rushed to the battlefield at full speed.

The dragon's roar sounded, and the morale of the Nature Elves on the battlefield suddenly rose. Some of the Drow's faces changed greatly.

Twenty seconds after the dragon's roar, a large group of Hippogryphs suddenly flew over the battlefield. Before the Drow's could understand what was going on, these Hippogryphs suddenly transformed into all sorts of powerful giant beasts and descended from the sky, landing among the spiders.

Among the behemoths that fell from the sky, the most eye-catching one was a Behemoth. It fell from a height of tens of meters and directly stepped on one of the two "Queen of Spiders" that were besieging the Behemoth on the battlefield.

Following behind these giant beasts was a flying army led by a golden dragon. There were dozens of dragons, wyverns, giant eagles, feathered serpents, and other powerful creatures.

These flying Druids circled above the battlefield. Some cast lightning, some breathed fire to support their companions on the ground, and some ferociously swooped down towards the battlefield, grabbing a spider or Drow elf and tearing them apart before throwing them back down.
