C1270 Cai Die Flapped Her Wings!

The Ninth Level Demonic Fish, known within the Demon Palace as the Yan Carp, had fully regained consciousness. Ignoring her own wounds, she let out a shrill scream at Jin Lih. She produced one bubble after another, each crystal clear and shimmering. Within each bubble, an independent illusory world seemed to form, with colorful butterflies dancing faintly inside. As the butterflies appeared, a look of bewilderment crossed the Yan Carp's Demonic Eye.

Wave after wave ensued without respite. Yet, at this moment, the Yan Carp did not appear to be influenced by the malevolent thoughts of the empress. A mysterious and ethereal power, foreign to the Yan Carp, emanated from each bubble.

The bubbles she released drifted towards the motionless demons and alien beasts suspended in the void. In a flash, they penetrated the creatures' consciousness.

Crack!

A Celestial Star Beast shattered the obstructing rubble and charged towards the Black Oil Barbarian Ox and the ice-cold meteorite where the Yan Carp resided.

As the bubbles infiltrated their consciousness, the Dark Flame Beast, the Golden Rock Beast, and other unnamed alien beasts sprang into action.

Simultaneously, the Dragon Slash Platform that Yu Yuan had summoned became scorching hot to the touch.

A message from the young Titan Spinosaurus seeped out from the depths of the mysterious purple-gold dragon egg: An alien presence has invaded!

Yu Yuan's face contorted with alarm. With a mere thought, he hastily returned the elongated Dragon Slash Platform to his aperture.

Inside his personal microcosm, he seemed to hear the peculiar sound of butterfly wings fluttering. The Dragon Slash Platform within his aperture burst forth with blinding radiance.

"Void Spirit Succubus!" Yu Yuan exclaimed, his complexion ashen with shock.

He quickly sent a telepathic message to Yu Yiyi and settled himself within the Evil Cauldron, concentrating all his mental, spiritual, and vital energies to confront the enigmatic force that had breached his aperture.

"Yu Yuan!" came the urgent cry of Yan Ziyang from deep within the frigid cavern. He, too, seemed to have encountered trouble.

He observed the slumbering Queen, her brows tightly knitted. A resplendent and enigmatic butterfly had inexplicably materialized on her pale forehead, then it spread to her neck, and gradually to her entire face...

It seemed as though the body beneath Her Majesty's garments was gradually revealing a colorful butterfly. The butterfly appeared intermittently clear and blurry, as if fluctuating with the Queen's power and the counteracting force of the butterfly itself.

Yan Ziyang, who was privy to the Queen's true nature and familiar with the legend of the Secular Bird, was terrified. What exactly was this resplendent, mysterious butterfly?

Clueless, he called out loudly to Yu Yuan, seeking his aid in unraveling the mystery. Alas, Yu Yuan was embroiled in his own predicament.

"Void, Void Spirit Succubus!"

Yan Qiling, still reeling from the shock, watched as the black and white chess pieces he had refined spiraled back into alignment, forming once again the enigmatic secret door. Beyond this door lay a myriad of intertwining dimensions, emanating a blinding, mesmerizing light.

He had lost control of the chess pieces and was clueless about the formation and the wonders contained within the secret door. Given his profound grasp of spatial powers, not even a Ninth Level Elder of the Void Spirit Succubus Clan could bypass him and manipulate his artifacts to conjure such a door. Unless...

Piecing together the anomaly of Yu Yuan and the immediate retraction of the Dragon Slash Platform, Yan Qiling had his epiphany.

The next moment, the sound of fluttering butterfly wings echoed in the recesses of his mind. As the sound emerged, Yan Qiling's body became immobilized as if space itself had ensnared him, rendering him motionless. Yet, his thoughts and consciousness remained fluid, allowing him to ponder further...

He wondered why the power of the Void Spirit Succubus had surfaced in this realm, targeting him and Yu Yuan. Was it because of the Dragon Slash Platform? And wasn't the legendary Void Spirit Succubus reduced to nothing more than an empty husk?

The creator of the Void Spirit Succubus Clan, that mysterious entity also known as a Starry Behemoth, had left behind the Heaven Opening Divine Stone. Moreover, in the sacred grounds of the clan, it had left its physical form. But its soul had long since vanished, a well-known fact to all.

Not only the Void Spirit Succubus, but even the Tenth Level powerhouse of the clan had vanished without a trace while exploring the Chaos Abyss.

The Void Spirit Succubus, the most powerful being of its clan, had vanished without a trace for countless years.

"Origin Realm! Origin Realm Gate! Origin Realm God!"

Yan Qiling's soul quivered with a sudden realization, a vague epiphany stirring within him.

Regrettably, he was immobilized, having lost all control over space; he couldn't even maneuver his own chess piece.

The persistent flapping of the colorful butterfly's wings was the only sound he could passively listen to.

As he listened in a confused stupor, the flapping seemed to carry a mocking tone, ridiculing him for the threats Taishi and the Divine Soul Sect had made against the elder of the Dark Elfkind and Pei Yuling.

Yan Qiling's consciousness grew increasingly foggy, his thoughts fragmented and disjointed.

Jin Lih was bewildered by the abrupt turn of events. After regaining his senses, all he heard was an urgent prompt from Yan Qiling, and then everything was different.

Yu Yuan, with a grave expression, took his place within the Evil Cauldron, bracing against the encroachment of some external force.

Yan Qiling had become like a marionette, paralyzed and ensnared in a dire spiritual plight.

Yan Qiling, along with the bubbles released by the Yan Carp, was already attempting to enter the cave. The alien beasts and demons touched by the bubbles also surged toward the meteorite.

The Black Oil Barbarian Ox, just like Jin Lih, felt utterly perplexed.

"What's going on?"

Jin Lih hovered in the air, making attempts to reconnect with his trusted lieutenants on a spiritual level.

From the souls of the Golden Rock Beasts, he too heard the anomalous sound of butterfly wings.

Jin Lih's demonic form began to stiffen.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The entrance to the cave burst open as the Yan Carp's monstrous form expanded, and under Yan Ziyang's watchful eye, the Ninth Level Demon King from the Demon Palace was propelled by an unseen force into the frigid depths of the cavern.

Yan Ziyang, who had not been affected by any strange powers, was already startled by the Queen's odd behavior. Watching the Yan Carp descend and sensing its peculiar presence...

"A colorful butterfly can infiltrate the Secular Bird's consciousness while it sleeps and integrates its memories, challenging her," Yan Ziyang's heart skipped a beat as he finally uttered the name, "Void Spirit Succubus!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A thick fog of cold air suddenly swirled within the cavern, activating the enigmatic patterns etched into the rock walls with an unseen force.

Two silhouettes, shimmering with icy clarity, materialized one after the other in the cave, both assuming the unique form of the Freezing Devaputra.

"By the command of my master, I am to guard Her Majesty," one declared.

Once the Ice Concubine settled, her snow-white arm harnessed the power of the extreme cold, refining it with precision. Within moments, her limb transformed into a sharp ice spike, emanating a chilling glow.

With a mere gesture from her other hand toward the Demonic Fish, a blast of frigid flame was unleashed.

The Devaputra cackled with a sinister laugh, baring his teeth: "To take part in a clash between Starry Behemoths is a tale I'll boast of for a lifetime!"

He stamped his foot with great force.

Countless razor-sharp ice beams burst forth from every corner of the cave, piercing toward the earth's surface. They impaled the bodies of the Celestial Star Beast, the Dark Flame Beast, and the Golden Rock Beast, riddling them with bloody wounds.

Inside the Dragon Slash Platform, in a domain of icy desolation where he had amassed considerable power, the Devaputra showcased his formidable prowess.

Yan Ziyang swiftly came to the realization that this frigid treasure trove, rich with cold veins, was no longer of any concern to him.
