"Hand over your Monster Core or prepare to die," Yu Tian said coldly as he stared at the Spider Mother with a killing intent.
From the information he obtained from Shan Qing Luo, Yu Tian knew that Monsters wouldn't die simply by losing their Monster Core, but they would lose all their power and have to start over. However, no Monster in their right mind would do such a thing, as Monster Race Cultivation was a hundred times harder than Human Race Cultivation, which is why no one would willingly make that choice.
"This…" Spider Mother muttered in fear and terror. Both options seemed like death to her: one would kill her immediately, while the other would slowly kill her with suffering and fear. She didn't know when someone stronger might attack her, especially since she had lived a long life and had many enemies.
"I'll give you three seconds to decide," Yu Tian said indifferently. He didn't care whether the Spider Mother chose life or death; it was a decision she had to make for herself.
"…" Spider Mother didn't respond immediately, but soon a thought crossed her mind on how to survive, and it might even allow her to fulfill her dream of obtaining a human body.
"I'll hand over my Monster Core," the Spider Mother said with a heavy sigh and then stared at Shan Qing Luo. "Come here, I'll transfer my Monster Core to you directly, which will help you become stronger quickly."
"…" Shan Qing Luo didn't say anything and looked at the Spider Mother cautiously, doubting her sincerity. After all, they had threatened her to get her Monster Core, and it was impossible that she didn't harbor resentment against them.
"It's okay. Even if she tries any tricks, she won't be able to harm you in my presence," Yu Tian said with disdain as he looked at the Spider Mother. Whatever trick she might play, there was nothing she could do against him.
"…" Shan Qing Luo glanced at Yu Tian for a moment before nodding slightly and flying towards the Spider Mother, using his Yuan Qi to protect her body in case the Spider Mother tried anything.
Crack
When Shan Qing Luo arrived, the Spider Mother didn't hesitate. She shattered the outer shell of her body, plunged her claw into her flesh, and extracted a blue crystal orb, which was her Monster Core.
"Take it, and never return here again," the Spider Mother said in a resentful tone, but there was a hint of excitement in her eyes that quickly disappeared before Shan Qing Luo noticed. She was surprised by the harsh offer the Spider Mother made to herself. "This contains my efforts of hundreds of years, so hurry and absorb it before my centuries of efforts go to waste."
"S-sure…" Shan Qing Luo said, quickly regaining her composure. She took the blue crystal orb from the Spider Mother and placed it on her beautiful lips before swallowing it without hesitation. This was her only chance to rid herself of her curse, and Yu Tian had assured her she would be fine. She had gained some trust in him after traveling together for almost a month.
After swallowing the Spider Mother's Monster Core, Shan Qing Luo sat in a lotus position and closed her eyes to heal her toxic body and absorb the immense energy in the Monster Core, which was enough to bring her to the Transcendent Realm.
"And now…" Yu Tian muttered as he rose and approached Shan Qing Luo. He had already noticed the Spider Mother's small trick of taking over Shan Qing Luo's body by separating her soul from her body and hiding it in her Monster Core.
"…" Yu Tian stood in front of Shan Qing Luo, who had closed all her senses and focused entirely on absorbing the Monster Core, trusting him to protect her. He closed his eyes and touched her forehead with the tip of his glowing finger.

*Shan Qing Luo's Knowledge Sea*
'So, this is Shan Qing Luo's Knowledge Sea,' Yu Tian thought as he appeared in Shan Qing Luo's Knowledge Sea, which wasn't much different from his own, except that his was clearly larger and stronger.
Despite knowing the Spider Mother's plan, Yu Tian didn't act immediately, as he didn't intend to give her a chance to escape or disappear without being able to do anything. That's why he used True Invisibility to completely hide his presence and himself so that the Spider Mother wouldn't sense his presence.
That wasn't all; he was also ready to use the Great Soul Devouring Technique at any moment to completely destroy the Spider Mother's ego, leaving her no chance of survival.
"Hehe, you foolish girl, you've underestimated me a lot," the Spider Mother suddenly appeared in Shan Qing Luo's Knowledge Sea. Unlike her previous spider form, she now had a human body, as her dream was to obtain a human form. "Did you think I would surrender just because you brought a dragon with you?"
"Spider Mother…" Shan Qing Luo muttered coldly and felt a shiver run down her spine. She wasn't a match for the Spider Mother in physical strength, let alone spiritual power. The Spider Mother had lived for hundreds of years, and her spiritual power was obviously much greater.
"But I should thank you because now I can achieve my dream of obtaining a human body," the Spider Mother said with a smile as she licked her lips lewdly. "And also, thank you for bringing such a handsome man for me; I won't hesitate to take him and make him my plaything."
"Sorry, but I have no intention of becoming your plaything," Yu Tian said indifferently, appearing behind the Spider Mother with his hand covered in a black aura, piercing the Spider Mother's soul.
"Y-you…" the Spider Mother muttered in disbelief as she stared at Yu Tian, but it didn't matter. She couldn't move and felt her consciousness being destroyed by Yu Tian.
"…" Unlike the Spider Mother, Shan Qing Luo was calm and felt relieved and safe when she saw Yu Tian appear to protect her. She didn't notice how the Poisonous Widow Body had marked Yu Tian as her sole lifelong lover.
