Lu Yin broke through the turbid treasure and rushed out. When he saw the butterfly, he immediately used Never Forget the World and Yama's First Needle.
The butterfly managed to avoid Never Forget the World, but it could not avoid Yama's First Needle, and it was stunned once again.
Lu Yin descended, and in an instant, the stars swept out as Sirius Art spread out once more.
The boundless power of deathly stillness transformed into darkness that swallowed everything.
By the time the seven butterflies dispersed the power of deathly stillness, the sourcebox array was still there, but Lu Yin had disappeared. The tenth butterfly, however, had died.
Far off in the distance, Lu Yin borrowed the power of Sirius Art's explosion to rush out of the continent. He arrived at one of the stars on the continent and looked back.
The sourcebox array's power of deathly stillness would take some time to dissipate, but there were still seven butterflies left.
In this battle, the bones in his chest had been broken, and the power of deathly stillness had been used up to its limit.
Now, the power of deathly stillness in his Three Deaths Technique had been reduced to five limits, and Lu Yin did not know if that was enough.
He exhaled. Although this butterfly was a peak existence that could harmonize with a single law of the universe, it could not fully represent the power of that level.
Mister Mu was more powerful than it.
However, its Butterfly Love Flower and Butterfly Dance Flower abilities were too troublesome.
Lu Yin's white bone clone's power level was enough to fight against an existence that could harmonize with two laws of the universe, and it was close to the power level of Lu Yin's original body when it had been a rogue.
There was definitely more than one battle site between the Tai Qing civilization and the Ancestral Butterfly Continent.
There was a high chance that it was on that continent.
However, he could not go there right now.
Lu Yin had to continue searching.
In the past, he had been searching for it to complete his mission, but now, he had a new interest: the Tai Qing's sourcebox array.
The Tai Qing civilization was unique when it came to lockbreaking, and their sourcebox array had endless variations. Lu Yin really wanted to study it.
The sourcebox array that he had activated during the battle had only been one of its uses, and it had not been fully activated. Lu Yin could not fully activate it, but if he was given enough time, he should be able to figure something out.
Eh?
Lu Yin was about to look away and continue searching when he suddenly noticed something strange. The seven butterflies outside the sourcebox array were crazily attacking it. Why?
When he had fought the tenth butterfly inside the sourcebox array, he had not seen the butterflies outside act so crazily. But now, they were crazily attacking the sourcebox array. Something was not right; the butterfly inside the array.
Lu Yin stared at it.
On the ground, the seven colorful butterflies continued to attack the Deathly Stillness with their Myriad Metal Qi, but they did not look for Lu Yin.
The power of deathly stillness continued to be consumed, and finally, it was broken.
The seven colored butterflies hurriedly surrounded the tenth colored butterfly and buried it.
Lu Yin stared at the scene intently, and the conjecture that he had seen earlier surfaced in his mind.
Cai Die was not injured, only dead.
But were these butterflies really dead?
Being buried in the yellow soil meant being buried in the Butterfly Ancestor's body. Was the Butterfly Ancestor really sleeping? Why did there have to be ten Rainbow Butterflies?
Lu Yin looked down at the continent, growing even more fearful of the Butterfly Ancestor.
For many things, the more difficult it was to explain, the more problematic it was.
In the end, it all belonged to the Butterfly Ancestor.
This Butterfly Ancestor was definitely not weak.
He retracted his gaze and continued his search for battle ruins.
After that colorful butterfly was buried, the remaining seven colorful butterflies once again began to search for him in a frenzy, scattering pollen all over the world.
Lu Yin's guess was correct, as they were currently searching for that piece of land.
At the same time, he ordered all sentient beings on the Ancestral Butterfly Continent to remain where they were.
Cai Die had absolute control over the Butterfly Ancestor Mainland. Here, other than Cai Die, no other creature could break through to the Eternal Life Realm.
Lu Yin became even more careful as he walked.
Another few decades passed, and Lu Yin did not encounter any Eternal Life butterflies during this time. He was already used to walking in places without pollen.
Pollen was still pollen, and although it could cover the entire world, it had its own limitations.
As long as he could find a pattern, he could avoid it.
The colorful butterflies had no intention of letting him go, and they continued to search for him.
One day, he arrived at a planet that was hanging at the edge of a huge mountain. This planet was very unremarkable, and it was hidden in the shadows of the mountain's cliff. There was no light, and one would not be able to notice it unless they looked carefully.
Lu Yin landed on the planet, and it was pitch-black. The planet was filled with black rocks and metals, but these metals had been swallowed by the Myriad Metal Qi and were easily crushed.
Lu Yin's consciousness swept across the entire planet.
There was nothing special about this planet, but the place where it was connected to the mountain's cliff was different.
Generally speaking, planets were suspended in space, but this one was hanging from a cliff. There must be some substance within the planet that was connected to something within the mountain.
Lu Yin quickly found that substance.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually an origin scroll material.
He had not expected that this planet that he had stumbled upon would actually contain the materials needed to create a box. He extended his consciousness into the mountain and continued his search.
Because of the colorful butterflies, Lu Yin did not dare to release too much of his consciousness, or else it would easily sweep through the entire Butterfly Ancestor Mainland.
There were quite a lot of materials here, and it was like a vein of ore. It was a pity that the materials themselves were not old enough and could not compare to the materials needed to create a box.
Lu Yin stood at the bottom of the cliff and touched the cold metal. What a pity.
Wait, it might not be a pity.
Lu Yin looked at the materials again, and the first thing that came to mind was his die's Enhance.
If Enhance could increase the grade of these materials, why couldn't it increase the grade of these materials?
After leaving the Tian Yuan Universe, the die's innate ability had been greatly reduced, but breaking through to Eternal Life had changed its innate ability. The most obvious change was that in the past, it could only obtain items from cosmic rings in the same universe. Now, it could obtain random items within the Core Space, regardless of whether they were in a cosmic ring or not.
Since Enhance had changed, why couldn't Enhance?
If Enhance could increase the grade of these materials, then …
Lu Yin pondered for a moment before hurriedly leaving.
He could not expose this place. If his suspicions were correct, then this vein of ore would be one of the things he could use to negotiate with the Taiqing Sect and the Death Universe.
Another twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.
Fifty years had passed since the last battle, and a hundred years had passed since he had arrived at the Butterfly Ancestor Mainland.
Lu Yin returned to that mainland, and in the past twenty years, he had found the ruins of a second battlefield.
Unfortunately, there were no complete sourcebox arrays left behind here.
He could only continue his search.
The colorful butterflies were not stupid, and they would definitely guess what he was looking for. It would only become more and more dangerous from here on out, so he might as well hunt them down.
He would kill a few more of the seven colorful butterflies to scare them away so that they would not obstruct him.
However, he could not kill them enough to wake the Butterfly Ancestor, as that would be even more dangerous.
The seven colorful butterflies spread out to search, and Lu Yin decided to kill one first, forcing them to form groups of two. That way, it would be much easier for him to move around.
When he thought of this, he deliberately chose a location that was the furthest away from the ore vein and approached one of the butterflies.
Although the butterflies were scattered, they were not too far away from each other, and they would be able to support him in a few breaths of time.
After all, it was only the size of a single universe, and it was not that far for an Eternal Realm cultivator.
Lu Yin only needed to kill one within a few breaths of time.
…
Lightning flashed, and the sky darkened. The stone houses on the ground shook as a tornado approached from afar.
Beside the houses, a creature stood on two legs and stared at the tornado in fear. Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the land and illuminating their fearful gazes.
A colorful butterfly fluttered above their heads, ordering all intelligent creatures not to move so that it would be easier to find Lu Yin.
If any creature dared to move, their entire clan would be exterminated.
Thus, even if an entire village downstream was flooded, no one dared to move, and they could only wait for death to befall them.
However, the colorful butterflies did not care about any of this.
They were the source of all life on the Butterfly Ancestor Mainland, and they could give or take as they pleased.
Lightning illuminated the colorful butterfly's body as it danced in the sky. The tornado was shrouded in its shadow, and it brought fear to the land.
A white light suddenly appeared and pierced the butterfly from below.
At the same time, thunder rumbled as a blinding light illuminated the land, but it also happened to cover the white light.
The white light flashed and disappeared.
The colorful butterfly froze in midair, not moving at all.
The next moment, the terrified creatures watched as the colorful butterfly that had cast a shadow over them was torn apart, falling to the ground along with the rain and lightning.
Those creatures opened their mouths wide as they watched this terrifying scene unfold before them.
The colorful butterfly that had been viewed as a god had been shattered.
It was as if the sky itself had been shattered.
Lu Yin tore the butterfly apart in an instant and fled far away.
A breath later, other colorful butterflies appeared. A Butterfly Love Flower appeared on Lu Yin's body, but when he took a second step, the flower did not move. He had moved quickly, and even though the flower was attached to him, he had not been attacked.
If he had not been attacked, the butterflies would not have been able to track him.
The butterfly that had arrived later flew high into the sky, and when it saw that the flower had not absorbed any spiritual force, it knew that Lu Yin had left.
Soon after, the other five butterflies arrived and surrounded the one that had been torn apart, allowing its body to be buried in the ground.
Lightning flashed, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
"He's moving even faster. We're so close, but we can't even provide support."
"He's killing everything in one go. He definitely has a way to make us stop moving for a moment."
"He's moving faster and faster, and he left the flower's range in an instant. It's terrifying."
"From now on, let's form groups of two. If we split up, we'll be easily defeated."
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
Far off in the distance, Lu Yin saw the remaining six butterflies forming groups of two. This was good, as this was his goal. With this, the pollen's range had been reduced by more than half, and he would be free.
He continued to roam the land, especially exploring the forbidden areas and looking for the battlefields left behind by the Taiqing Sect.
This time, he was much more efficient, and in just a few years, he found an ancient battlefield. He looked at the box of talismans in his hand, which had also been devoured by the Ten Thousand Gold Qi.
What a pity. Many of the boxes had not been opened because the Ten Thousand Gold Qi had been devoured, and the sourcebox arrays inside had also lost their effectiveness over the years.
How many creatures in the Taiqing Sect were adept at sourcebox arrays?
He had seen many boxes of talismans on the Ancestral Butterfly Continent, and from what he knew, every creature in the Taiqing Sect would only research one sourcebox array in their lifetime. With so many boxes of talismans, each box represented a sourcebox array. The number of creatures in the Taiqing Sect that could use sourcebox arrays was terrifying.
