The broken treasure had long been lost in the river of history, and was no longer majestic.
But at this moment, it glowed with new power and life.
From the nine-colored light, Long Chen could feel an ancient throbbing. Its glory days had long passed, but at this moment, it was reborn. The treasure in front of him had become a baby full of vitality, and those dim Dao patterns were its hope for growth.
The addition of the Nine Hells Fantasy Butterfly caused the Dao patterns on the hilt of the long sword to change.
The ninety-nine Dao patterns actually had colors now.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white. Nine colors of Dao patterns. According to the order, these Dao patterns became exceptionally dazzling and powerful. And after the 99 Dao patterns, the 100th Dao pattern, with the addition of the Nine Hells Fantasy Butterfly, was regaining its luster.
Indeed, there was hope for this treasure to recover.
At least at this moment, before Long Chen, it was recovering the 100th Dao pattern. Once it succeeded, it would be an Archaean Dao Treasure.
Although there was only a single Dao pattern difference between an Archaean Dao Treasure and an Archaean Dao Treasure, it was a metamorphosis of life.
From being unconscious, it became conscious.
Time passed.
Long Chen and Ye Xixi watched nervously as the treasure changed.
The 100th Dao pattern finally regained its luster and power, combining with the other 99 Dao patterns. This was a form of hope.
Although there were still 600 Dao patterns that were completely dim, which ruined the beauty, they believed that one day, this treasure would recover.
The light on the blade gradually dissipated.
What surprised the two was that the originally gray blade now glowed with a new luster. It became exceptionally exquisite and sharp. The blade, which should have been shiny, was now covered with butterfly wing patterns. It did not look like a sword, but a work of art.
The butterfly wing patterns were lifelike, with nine colors. They were exactly the same as the Nine Hells Fantasy Butterfly's wings, and they looked very lifelike.
This Archaean Dao Treasure now exploded with power comparable to the God Slaying Sword.
The sword displayed a mystical quality. It actually became faintly discernible.
Lingxi was clearly holding the sword, but most of the time, it was almost invisible, and it was difficult to even sense its existence.
After Ling Xi grasped the sword, she said somewhat excitedly, "No matter what its previous name was, I'll give it a new name now. It'll be called the 'Butterfly Illusory Sword'. What do you think, Brother Chen?"
Long Chen nodded in satisfaction.
On the Butterfly Illusory Sword, the Nine Hells Illusionary Butterfly ran out and flew around Lingxi. It giggled and said, "Sister Lingxi, am I very powerful? Am I very powerful?"
"Die 'er must be very powerful."
Lingxi chuckled.
The Nine Netherworld Illusionary Butterfly was so happy that it couldn't tell which way was north.
This time, he had obtained the Butterfly Illusory Sword without any delay.
Little Skeleton ran out from the God Slaying Sword and looked at the Nine Netherworld Illusionary Butterfly floating on the Butterfly Illusory Sword with its green eyes. "Daddy, is this my sister?" it babbled.
Long Chen's face darkened. "I am not your father."
The Little Skeleton made a few "oh" noises. His nature was still the same. He looked at the Butterfly Illusory Sword enviously, eager to make a move.
"So beautiful."
He praised sincerely. Then, he looked at his skeleton and the grey God Slaying Sword. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
In the God Kingdom, the Spiritual Snow Hound felt the existence of the Butterfly Illusory Sword and rolled on the ground in excitement. However, due to the God Kingdom's Seal, Long Chen could not get it out of the God Kingdom.
Otherwise, a skeleton, a butterfly, and a puppy — these three troublesome little things could annoy them to death.
"Alright, let's go."
After the two packed up their harvest, they hurried on their way. Their destination was the Heaven Devouring Divine Residence.
… …
The Dragon Forest.
This was the largest forest in the Heaven Devouring Divine Residence. It was endless and very few people dared to pass through the Dragon Forest as it contained endless killing intent.
There was a type of tree called the Dragon Serene Wood here. It was vigorous like a dragon and shot into the sky. It was thousands of meters tall, and every tree was like a forest with intertwined roots. Countless roots hung down and pierced into the ground.
This was an extremely dangerous place, but to Mo Xiaolang, it was a safe place.
Because they had already spent a long time here.
The two got along peacefully. It was a rare moment of peace.
Love that goes through thick and thin together is always unforgettable.
Soyeon took care of him carefully. In the midst of gentleness and joy, Mo Xiaolang gradually forgot about the evil energy flowing in his body. His character was originally pure.
Soyeon transformed into a half-human and half-snake form and ran in the forest, letting out bell-like laughter. Mo Xiaolang lay on a tree trunk and looked at the huge leaves above his head.
"Big Brother …"
He was thinking that that person must be trying very hard to come here.
"I can't let him down."
Mo Xiaolang stood up. In fact, he had already been driven crazy by the desire to fight, but he still had to overcome himself. Every time he was in a daze, he would think of Long Chen and Soyeon.
"Big Brother Xiao Lang."
Soyeon suddenly ran from behind him and scared him.
"Yan 'er." Xiao Lang turned around, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness.
"I really hope that we can continue living like this without any worries." Soyeon said shyly.
"I will." Mo Xiaolang nodded his head with all his might.
The thousands of meters tall Dragon Forest covered the sky and formed a new sky.
What they did not know was that not far away, there was a group of Demon Race approaching. It was a group of shifty-looking children. Their bodies were round and their eyes shone with a cunning light. They stuck out their noses and squinted their eyes to smell the air.
"That's right, it's the smell of snakes."
"Damned Snake Race, they actually dare to barge into the place where we play. We've been looking for her for a long time."
"The Snake Race has always liked to bully us and eat our companions. This time, we've met her alone. We must eat her. This way, the elders will definitely praise our bravery."
The smell of their natural enemy caused their young blood to boil. Their hearts were incomparably restless. They were both afraid and excited. Their eyes were bursting with an aggressive light as they headed towards the depths of the Dragon Forest.
"The elder said that it's best if we don't go too deep into the Dragon Forest. There are very vicious things inside. Brothers and sisters, are we really going to defeat the Snake Race?"
A young child asked nervously.
"Yes, of course. We've already chased them all the way here. We're Heaven Rats, how can we be afraid of a mere Snake Race. If we eat the Snake Race, we'll be heroes. The people in our race will no longer say that we're cowards."
"That's right. Charge."
The young Demon Race revealed their sharp claws and teeth. In order to prove themselves, they became ruthless and bloodthirsty.
They gradually went deeper.
"Surround her. Other than the Snake Race, there's also the smell of the Wolf Race."
"Damned Wolf Race. They're all very overbearing. We can't let them go this time."
"Surround them. Quickly surround them."
The Heaven Rat Race's youths dispersed and gradually approached the center in a circle. This was not the first time they had launched such a large-scale attack, but they were still very nervous.
"This group of Heaven Rat Race."
Mo Xiaolang discovered them.
But it was a little too late. The other party had already surrounded them.
"What should we do. The Heaven Rats are the masters of the Heaven Devouring Divine Residence. There's a huge number of them. If we let them tangle with us, we'll be exposed."
Mo Xiaolang also realized this point.
They couldn't expose themselves at the moment. After all, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox might still be chasing after them.
"Let's quickly escape. We can't let them see us and go back to spread the news."
Soyeon grabbed Mo Xiaolang's arm and said nervously.
Mo Xiaolang shook his head and said, "It's too late. They've already seen us."
Many eyes could be seen in many corners below. They were all looking at Soyeon ferociously. This was the smell of the Snake Race. They, who were eager to prove themselves, went crazy.
"It really is the Snake Race …"
"Eat her. Eat her."
They saw Soyeon's slender snake tail.
"Then what should we do?" Soyeon was suddenly at a loss.
Mo Xiaolang said, "If they want to attack, we can only kill them all. Otherwise, we can't guarantee our safety."
"No."
Soyeon said anxiously. She was worried that Mo Xiaolang would fall into the demonic path again if they were to kill them all. He had just recovered with great difficulty.
Mo Xiaolang looked at her sincerely and said, "Yan 'er, I'm not being bewitched. Big Brother is rushing over now. We can't have any accidents, or we'll implicate him. These rats are not good people. They want to kill us …"
As soon as he said that, the dozen or so youths from the Heaven-Reaching Rat Race had already agreed. They appeared at the same time and attacked Mo Xiaolang and Soyeon.
"Damned Snake Race and Wolf Race. Die."
"We're going to eat you up."
The dozen or so children bared their fangs and brandished their claws.
Mo Xiaolang's expression was indifferent as he watched them approach. To be honest, the Heaven-Reaching Rat Race inherited the Heaven Devouring Rat. They ruled the Heaven Devouring Divine Residence and had a powerful bloodline. They were on the same level as Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. However, these children were too young. Although there were a dozen of them, none of them had even reached the Rebirth Realm.
Therefore, it was very easy for Mo Xiaolang to kill them.
"Die."
They rushed over and were about to attack. Mo Xiaolang didn't say anything. Under his control, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestral Fire turned into fire chains that rushed out and wrapped around the dozen or so children. The rats felt extreme coldness. They all screamed and struggled with all their might.
"Everyone, use your strength and break this fire. These two aren't strong."
They tore at the fire, preparing to transform into their beast forms and break the Nine Nether Demon Ancestral Fire. However, they soon realized that it was useless. The Nine Nether Demon Ancestral Fire was too terrifying. It wasn't something they could fight against.
Only now did they understand how powerful this youth was.
