C1271 The Extraordinary Object!
Within Yu Yuan's Shen Que Acupuncture Point, the Dragon Slash Platform hovered high in the sky, its crystalline structure gleaming as it emitted dazzling light.
Colorful butterflies, extraordinary in their mystique, hurled themselves at the Dragon Slash Platform like moths to a flame, bursting into existence with a series of soft pops, only to be replaced by an endless stream of new ones.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Scarlet sword beams, swift as lightning, struck down the reformed butterflies, transforming the majority into a shower of light energy before they could even graze the Dragon Slash Platform.
Yet, before the light shower could dissipate, a spatial power enveloped it, giving rise to fresh colorful butterflies. They seemed inexhaustible.
Yu Yuan's Yin God, in his soul form, wore a grave expression within this small universe. He sensed the terror and restlessness of the young Spinosaurus Titan inside the Dragon Slash Platform. The purple-gold dragon egg, too, was enveloped in layers of luminescence, as if bracing for combat.
Since the dragon corpse had entered the Dragon Slash Platform, the young beast had known no fear.
The only exceptions were the empress and now, these colorful butterflies.
The young beast's soul thoughts emerged unimpeded in Yu Yuan's heart lake.
"They come for you and the wonders within the Dragon Slash Platform, seeking to claim everything..." Yu Yuan muttered with a wry chuckle.
The Secular Bird, having taken human form, was also aware of the Spinosaurus Titan's existence. Due to their close bond, the empress consistently curbed her greed, showing no excess in her behavior.
The Void Spirit Succubus, however, was a different story.
Powered by an unknown force, the Void Spirit Succubus, perhaps drawn by the unique nature of the Dragon Slash Platform, had detected the presence of the young Spinosaurus and initiated its assault.
Yu Yuan was compelled to exert his full strength, dreading that any butterfly might penetrate the Dragon Slash Platform's defenses and infiltrate its inner sanctum.
Not long ago, within the depths of the Dragon Slash Platform, the Yin God had the liberty to manipulate and even recreate the rules at will.
He had been bold enough to allow Unrestrained Stage cultivators and alien beasts of equal standing to enter, but he would never risk letting a single colorful butterfly through.
The Heaven Opening Divine Stone was, after all, the divine chrysalis from which the Void Spirit Succubus had emerged.
He was acutely aware that if it weren't for his meticulous refinement in his first life, the color butterflies, born of the Void Spirit Succubus, would have penetrated the defenses of the Dragon Slash Platform without any resistance.
He sensed that if just one color butterfly breached the defense and entered the Dragon Slash Platform, it would leave behind an exact coordinate.
The Void Spirit Succubus, a Starry Behemoth imprinted with the essence of spatial mysteries from birth, could certainly channel its power into the Dragon Slash Platform through a color butterfly.
The Dragon Slash Platform, inherently belonging to the Void Spirit Succubus, would be completely dominated by it once its power overwhelmed the residual strength from his first life. At that point, the young beast and the purple-gold dragon egg would be consumed, and all the dragons interred here would be utterly transformed.
"Come forth!"
Stirred by his will, the Evil Demons within the cauldron began to awaken one by one.
Dark Demon, Rend Armor, Nether Cat, Yellow Light Demon, and Silver Lock, along with numerous high-level Evil Demons, conjured a chilling gale as they surged into the Dragon Slash Platform's Shen Que acupoint.
The Evil Demons, howling through this hidden microcosm, devoured the color butterflies in a spectacle of eerie beauty.
The scene was a breathtaking display as the color butterflies, crafted from the spatial abilities and soul consciousness of the Void Spirit Succubus, became the focus of thousands of Evil Demons. They burst into oblivion one after another, like an elaborate and splendid fireworks display.
"You've lived up to my expectations."
Yu Yuan's Yin God, in his Soul Spirit form, rose higher, overseeing the siege of the color butterflies by the Evil Demons and attuning to the subtle shifts on the vast battlefield.
Whenever the Evil Demons sustained severe injuries, they would immediately withdraw to the recesses of the cauldron's steps to slumber and heal.
Subsequently, the lesser Evil Demons would draw upon the soul energy to mend their wounds.
Though the color butterflies could reform after defeat, their resurrections were not infinite. After being destroyed repeatedly, they could only reform three times before vanishing entirely.
With the aid of the Evil Demons, Yu Yuan was spared from exerting his own power. There was no need for him to continuously refine the crimson sword aura to strike down the color butterflies.
He began to feel a bit more at ease.
With that, he opened his eyes inside the cauldron, straightened up, and surveyed the actual battlefield outside.
"Master, should I assist Mr. Yan?" Yu Yiyi inquired suddenly.
She seemed to have sensed that his condition had stabilized and that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the endless swarm of colorful butterflies, avoiding a more complicated predicament.
Yu Yuan commanded, "Hurry!"
He had noticed Jin Li from the Demon Palace wandering the battlefield before suddenly setting his sights on Yan Qiling, his teeth bared, ready to tear into Yan Qiling's flesh.
Yan Qiling had just separated from them after using the black and white chess pieces to expose Pei Yuling. Now, he was clearly suffering from the backlash of his spatial powers, his shadowy figure frozen in the void.
Should Jin Li manage to bite him, Yan Qiling's soul might remain intact, but his body would surely be destroyed!
Whoosh!
Yu Yiyi's silhouette flickered through the air, reaching Yan Qiling's side with a swiftness surpassing Jin Li's. Her delicate hands reached out and pressed into the void.
Sizzle sizzle!
Suddenly, hundreds of lower-tier Fiend Demons coalesced into a mysterious and eerie formation, striking at Jin Li's demonic soul.
Yu Yuan narrowed his eyes and saw clusters of Fiend Demons within Jin Li's golden pupils.
Yu Yiyi had unleashed the Fiend Demons directly into Jin Li's demonic soul. She avoided a direct confrontation, instead opting to use her expertise to overwhelm Jin Li with relentless attacks.
Boom!
A loud rumble emanated from the icy cave where Yan Ziyang was concealed, drawing Yu Yuan's gaze.
Turning his head, he witnessed numerous ice blades, beams, and shards assaulting the frenzied demons and alien beasts.
He also saw several colorful fish, skewered by the ice light, flung onto the hard, icy stone ground.
The white fog billowing from the holes caused the chill on the meteorite's surface to surge dramatically.
Roar!
The black, oily bull bellowed, its black grease igniting into demonic flames, seemingly aiding the Demon Palace's Yanli in combating the frigid surroundings.
The meteorite began to fissure and split.
The hole, the size of a fist, stretched and tore under the swelling force of his superpower.
From a distance, he could make out the fierce battle raging beneath the cavern.
He also caught glimpses of colorful butterflies fluttering across the Queen's forehead and face as she lay in slumber.
"Void Spirit Succubus!"
Yu Yuan's brow furrowed as he realized that the legendary, elusive butterfly was assaulting both him and the Queen simultaneously.
The young Titan spinosaurus on the Dragon Slash Platform, along with the numerous dragon carcasses, were the Void Spirit Succubus's exquisite feast.
And why not the Secular Bird?
Starry Behemoths, the former sovereigns of the celestial dome and apex predators of the food chain, inherently possessed a nature of mutual slaughter, capable of consuming and assimilating each other's bloodline secrets.
A yet-to-hatch youngling, coupled with a Secular Bird awakening after a hundred millennia, was enough to compel the Void Spirit Succubus to risk it all in a deadly hunt!
The Evil Cauldron soared through the void.
Yu Yuan pressed his hands against the rim of the cauldron, steering it with his thoughts, intent on plunging into the meteorite to aid Chen Qinghuang in her struggle against the Void Spirit Succubus.
He was acutely aware that the power infiltrating Chen Qinghuang's body surpassed that which had stormed the Dragon Slash Platform.
This legendary spatial alien beast must have concentrated most of its strength, aiming to exploit the Empress's vulnerable state during her slumber, before she could fully regain her powers, in order to steal the profound mysteries of her bloodline—death, destruction, and rebirth—and accomplish the brutal bloodline predation among the behemoths.
Puff!
A sudden, intense pain erupted in his chest, and he uncontrollably coughed up blood. Looking down, he saw the Demon Blade, known as Blood Prison, impaled through his torso.
Inside the blade, seven blood souls had astonishingly metamorphosed into seven vibrant red butterflies.
The sight of the butterflies, especially their crimson hue, instantly clued Yu Yuan in on what had transpired.
At the most critical juncture, the Demon Blade, Blood Prison, had turned on him!
It might not have been the blood souls' original intent, but they had undoubtedly been corrupted by the Void Spirit Succubus, their sentience twisted, amplifying their savage, bloodthirsty aspect to no end.
Countless crimson sparks flew from the blade, transforming into myriad tiny butterflies within Yu Yuan's flesh. Witnessing the swarm of butterflies, Yu Yuan realized the influence of the Void Spirit Succubus's malevolent thoughts was akin to that of the Secular Bird, exerting an extraordinary suppression on beings whose strength primarily stemmed from their flesh and blood essence.
"The Blood Prison!" This nefarious artifact, drawing its power from the essence of flesh and blood as well as foreign souls, had fallen under the control of the Void Spirit Succubus.
