A chill descended from the side, and white mottled marks appeared all over his body. Was this an invisible world?
Suddenly, his vision blurred, and an indescribable exhaustion caused him to gasp for breath. His consciousness had been absorbed.
Furthermore, two different forms of the butterfly were absorbing his consciousness at the same time.
There was another butterfly flower on his leg.
Three different forces attacked his legs and back, but Lu Yin had been prepared for this and defended himself against the Butterfly Dance.
His body trembled; aside from the tenth butterfly, the other nine were unable to harm him at all. At most, they could only affect his rhythm.
Lu Yin used Yama's First Needle again.
Three needles shot towards the three butterflies at the same time.
He purposely used Myriad Gold Qi to let them see.
The three butterflies dodged.
Stars revolved around Lu Yin's body as the Sirius Art covered the entire universe.
Boom!
Deathly stillness filled the starry sky, and each explosion consumed a peak of that power.
The entire Progenitor Butterfly Continent was dyed black.
This was the only way for him to escape.
Once the power of the Deathly Stillness dissipated.
The six butterflies could only fly through space, unable to find Lu Yin.
"He's already discovered the truth about Butterfly Burial. He can't leave alive."
"He can't escape. The ancestor has already stopped him and is on the verge of awakening. He just doesn't want to waste time on him, but he can still guide us to him. He's dead for sure."
"We'll make sure he has nowhere to go."
On the other side, Lu Yin hid himself and looked into the distance. The three butterfly flowers on his body were very conspicuous.
This method was truly disgusting, as it made numbers matter.
In terms of power level, numbers were usually meaningless, but this method was different.
He couldn't leave, and he couldn't kill the butterflies if he stayed. Should he turn them to dust?
It didn't seem like an easy task, as the other butterflies had arrived too quickly and were now in groups of two.
He couldn't just stay here forever.
He couldn't kill them, but he should be able to trap them.
Lu Yin thought about it. If he could trap all six butterflies, then he could try to escape the Progenitor Butterfly Continent. Even if the Butterfly Ancestor awoke, he was still strong enough to fight it, and he should still be able to escape.
Who knew where Thousand Trickery got the confidence to destroy this fishing civilization? Even Le Gujin would not be able to do it.
He took a deep breath. If he wanted to trap Rainbow Butterfly, then the best way was to use Tai Qing's sourcebox array.
Lu Yin simulated the sourcebox's array formation. Although he still did not understand it, it was not a problem for him to recreate it. However, this simulation was not a true sourcebox array, and even if the power of deathly stillness poured into it, it would be useless. It was just a model.
He wanted to rely on this model to research a sourcebox array that could seal Rainbow Butterfly.
The sourcebox array itself had many variations, and Lu Yin did not need that many variations. Just one was enough.
Lu Yin had already decided to spend a lot of time researching this sourcebox array, but it didn't take long for him to realize that something was amiss. Those colorful butterflies were clearly moving closer to him.
The six colorful butterflies intentionally or unintentionally changed their directions, but they were getting closer and closer to him.
He thought about how the Butterfly Ancestor had stopped him from leaving.
Could it be that the Butterfly Ancestor has awakened?
Can he find my location?
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his position.
The six colorful butterflies were moving in three different directions, and Lu Yin fled towards one of the groups. The colorful butterflies immediately attacked, but fortunately, Lu Yin had been keeping an eye on them and had taken the initiative. He immediately distanced himself from them and was not surrounded.
After that, the colorful butterflies continued to find him. Although there was a gap in time, these gaps were not very long. At most, it would take a year to half a year for them to find him.
This annoyed Lu Yin to no end.
The Butterfly Ancestor must have found him. He was on the Butterfly Ancestor's back, and there was no one else who could locate him better than it.
Lu Yin had originally wanted to immerse himself in researching the sourcebox array, but that was no longer possible. He could only use his fragmented time to research it, which consumed even more energy. He had to keep an eye on those colorful butterflies, and his thoughts could not calm down.
He dodged them time and time again as he continued to research them. During this time, he also experienced fierce battles, and Lu Yin had no choice but to hold back. Even if he had the opportunity to kill the colorful butterflies, he did not do so.
This made the colorful butterflies even more fearless, and they no longer moved in groups of two.
They did not want to die, so they moved in groups of two at first. However, when Lu Yin discovered the truth behind the Butterfly Burial, they knew that they would not die. The more that died, the more terrifying Lu Yin would have to face.
Under such circumstances, Lu Yin spent more than a hundred years before he barely managed to make some progress on the Taiqing Master's sourcebox array. Combined with his own knowledge of sourcebox arrays, he should be able to combine it with the power of desolation to temporarily seal those colorful butterflies.
A sourcebox array should have been set up with sourceboxes and used the danger of the sourceboxes to form the array.
However, at Lu Yin's realm, any kind of power could be used to form an array.
From the looks of it, this array had already surpassed the realm of sourcebox arrays.
The Taiqing Master had completely separated lockbreaking from sourcebox arrays, and it was not without reason that he had placed so much emphasis on lockbreaking.
Lu Yin's self-proclaimed return to simplicity might actually be the opposite in a certain sense.
Over the next few days, Lu Yin continued to set up sourcebox arrays all over the continent. Just like how he had used the Six Ancient Spirit Array to release the power of desolation at a fixed time, he was now using the power of desolation to activate the Taiqing Master's sourcebox array.
Over the course of five years, Lu Yin traveled all over the continent, including the heavens, and set up no less than a hundred sourcebox arrays.
During these five years, the colorful butterflies had not been able to track him down, as he would not stay in one place for more than three months.
Even the Butterfly Ancestor would need at least half a year to track him down.
Five years later, Lu Yin gazed into the distance and watched the six colorful butterflies dance in the air. The hunt had begun.
Over the past hundred years, these colorful butterflies had caused Lu Yin to be unable to rest in peace, and he had spent quite a bit of time researching the sourcebox array. However, he had not been idle either, and he had been constantly searching for a pattern in which these colorful butterflies searched.
Wang Wen had once said that every civilization had its own cultivation culture attribute.
When Lu Yin had planted his innate gift of teleportation, he had not understood it. It was very difficult for a living being to change their life essence. At that time, he had thought that he would be able to change it as long as he broke through to immortality, but reality had proven that it was still very difficult.
In other words, it was possible to actively change one's life essence, but most living beings would not actively do so.
Immortality was to improve one's life essence, not to completely change it.
These colorful butterflies had their own cultivation culture, and they also had their own life essence. Their actions had a pattern to them.
For example, every twenty years or so, these colorful butterflies would distance themselves from each other, as if that period of time belonged to each other.
This was a characteristic of the colorful butterflies, and Lu Yin did not need to know the theory behind it. All he needed to know was the characteristic itself.
There was less than a year left before the next twenty years of separation. It was just the right time for him to finish setting up his sourcebox array.
Of course, because of the existence of a powerful enemy like himself, they would not be too far apart from each other. At most, they would be separated by a breath's worth of distance.
However, that was enough.
A year later, the six colorful butterflies had distanced themselves from each other, and there was now a breath's worth of distance between them. Lu Yin watched them closely, as his greatest advantage was that he could constantly monitor their movements.
Something's here.
A colorful butterfly just so happened to appear above one of the sourcebox arrays that Lu Yin had set up. Lu Yin hurriedly rushed over and used the First Needle of Yama.
He used his life force to unleash the First Needle of Yama, which would not be detected.
The butterfly could sense danger with its Eternal Life Realm power, and it instinctively tried to dodge, but it was still too late.
The First Needle of Yama was the most adept at sneak attacks, and the butterfly froze in place. Lu Yin suddenly appeared above it and used the Seal of Life and Death to suppress it. Boom! Black and white swept across the sky and shook the heavens.
The other five butterflies were shocked, and they quickly tried to help.
The butterfly closest to Lu Yin immediately attached itself to the Butterfly Love Flower.
The Seal of Life and Death pressed the butterfly into the ground, and Lu Yin activated his Sirius Art. The Silent Star transformed into a dark torrent that surged into the sourcebox array and activated it.
There was a thump as the butterfly crashed into the ground. Only then did it react, and the Butterfly Love Flower attached itself to Lu Yin, wanting to retaliate.
Lu Yin retreated from the sourcebox array.
The power of Silent Star surged into the sky and sealed the butterfly within.
Lu Yin did not kill it, and he watched as the butterfly struggled within the sourcebox array, trying to escape. He looked up and saw another butterfly approaching.
He casually waved his hand, and the power of Silent Star filled the ground. There was another sourcebox array right beside this one, and the power of Silent Star surged into the sky.
The butterfly hurriedly retreated, and it was almost enveloped by the power of Silent Star.
Lu Yin raised his hand and used the Never Forget Technique, and the butterfly dodged once again. What followed was Yama's First Needle.
There were two consecutive waves of attacks, and while the butterfly could avoid the first wave, it would be difficult to avoid the second wave.
The butterflies from before had all suffered the same fate.
The needle swept past, and the butterfly froze in the void.
Lu Yin pressed down with one palm, and the dark power of Silent Star boiled in the void. It was like a dark cloud was descending, and it pressed the butterfly into the ground.
Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with the aura of ten thousand metals as two more butterflies arrived.
The entire process had only taken a few breaths of time, and Lu Yin had calculated every move he made. The arrival of these two butterflies was already the limit of what he could do. Sirius Art, Stellar Revolution.
The colorful butterflies were aghast. Again?
How could he have so much of this power?
Every time, Lu Yin had used all of the power of Sirius Art's Silent Star to help him escape. He had used this method many times, and the power of Silent Star could cover the sky and even shake the entire universe. This was not an ordinary amount of power, and being able to escape from several Eternals in an instant was no ordinary feat. This was why the butterflies had initially thought that Lu Yin no longer had this power, or rather, that he had very little of it.
However, Lu Yin had shattered their expectations time and time again. Every time he escaped, he would explode with such a terrifying amount of power, which did not make sense to the butterflies.
At this moment, Lu Yin gave them a feeling that he was bottomless.
Boom!
The stars exploded.
Darkness covered the entire sky.
The brilliance that filled the sky lost its color.
Lu Yin disappeared once again, but he did not have many more uses left. The Three Deaths Technique could only explode with a few more uses of Silent Star's power, and he would leave the rest for the Butterfly Ancestor just in case. He did not want to use it again.
Three butterflies appeared in the same spot, and then two more quickly descended.
Five butterflies simultaneously unleashed their auras of ten thousand metals in an attempt to break through the sourcebox array.
However, the sourcebox array was powered by the power of Silent Star. As long as the power of Silent Star was not extinguished, the array would continue to operate, and the butterflies would not be able to break through the array itself.
