Chapter 450 Spirit Soul Butterfly and Heavenly Coffin Beetle

Chapter 449

"We need to find a way to get in..."

Rosen gazed at the skull ruins from afar, pondering a solution.

It's not difficult to get close to the mysterious study from where it's hidden; these eternal beings' clones couldn't possibly detect the mysterious study in the present day.

However, the Mysterious Study was only good at hiding; even the Time-Space Gate couldn't force him into the ruins.

Therefore, unless the mysterious study is infused with the Stone Realm Stone, and the entire wall is infused with a layer of primordial quality material to greatly increase its defense, it is impossible to enter.

However, Rosen has confirmed that the Stone World raw stones have special hidden dangers.

Like the blue crystal, this thing is naturally controlled by the same primordial power. The World Tree, relying on the more powerful power of the Stone Realm, can easily seize control of the Stone Realm's original stone. Therefore, integrating this thing into the mysterious study will inevitably bring endless troubles.

Since the Stone Realm Origin Stone was not an option, the only choice was the Blue Light Crystal, which he named the Spirit Core.

Rosen used the Origin of Myriad Transformations to lock onto the spiritual core that encapsulated the Eternal Godhood, attempting to transform it into an insect.

Although the spiritual core is at the primordial level, the source of all transformations originates from the heart of the universe.

As expected, the Eternal Godhood, along with its spiritual core, began to gradually transform into insects.

With time accelerated a thousandfold, two years in reality have completely transformed into a worm.

This worm is very special; on the surface, it looks like a translucent butterfly made of blue spiritual matter.

Because he was reluctant to permanently transform the source of life and the source of divinity, Rosen could only control a very weak amount of spiritual power.

However, as the spiritual core and the eternal divine essence were transformed into insects by the source of all transformations, this butterfly was able to naturally fuse the source of life and the source of divinity into spiritual power. Most importantly, the spiritual power could even be transformed back into the source.

Two years ago in the treasure space, Rosen believed that the primordial power was neither increasing nor decreasing, truly eternal and immortal.

This overturned the original theory, showing that even the primordial power could not last forever.

He believed in eternity only because he hadn't mastered the method to reverse the primordial power.

This proves once again that nothing is absolute; where there is a spear, there must be a shield.

The source of all transformations that he created with the help of the Heart of the Universe turned out to be a shield that restrained the primordial power.

Come to think of it, the core ability of the Heart of the Universe is absorption and transformation.

His myriad transformations are a perfect inheritance of the transformation of the heart of the universe.

The primordial power originating from the original life cannot be reversed by ordinary means, but the transformation of the heart of the universe can certainly be reversed.

He underestimated the power of the Origin of Myriad Transformations; the hidden power of this miraculous skill was beyond imagination.

Rosen has 195 points of divine origin. When he first ascended to the Immortal God-Demon realm, he only had 189 points of life origin. However, over the years, he has continuously refined cosmic matter, which has been continuously integrated into his Immortal God-Body. As a result, his life origin has now reached 195 points.

Therefore, he fused a total of 195 portions of spiritual power, which has left him in a state of extreme weakness.

Without the source of life, his immortal divine body is like a machine without an engine.

Without a divine origin, even an eternal will would be difficult to drive.

Fortunately, at this moment, the ancient god's sacrificial artifact came into play, pushing his two sources, which had been reduced to zero, back up to 182.

Having maintained the power of the immortal gods and demons, Rosen was able to use his eternal will to control the spiritual soul butterfly.

The bright blue spiritual butterfly unfolded the Creator's Domain, encompassing Rosen's body within it.

Then the Spirit Soul Butterfly began to use spiritual power to make itself ethereal. The quality of spiritual matter was very low, otherwise an immortal-level star would not have been able to exist in the universe of the third star ring.

Therefore, the quality of the Spirit Soul Butterfly is very low, and the lower the quality, the easier it is to shrink.

Therefore, the almost infinitely shrunken spiritual butterfly quickly shrank to a size that even the Creator's eye could hardly observe directly.

As the spiritual butterfly flew out of the window of time and space, Rosen retrieved the mysterious study back into his body, transforming it back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

As expected, the Spirit Butterfly went unnoticed and silently flew towards the mouth-shaped entrance of the skull ruins.

Perhaps because they shared the same origin, the Spirit Soul Butterfly was not harmed in any way.

Instead, as they passed through the entrance and exit, they absorbed some unclaimed spiritual power to strengthen their own spiritual power limit.

With the miraculous skill of the Origin of Myriad Transformations, if one possesses enough spiritual power, then after reversing it into the origin of divinity and the origin of life, one might be able to forcibly break through the boundaries and ascend to eternity. It's just unknown how much spiritual power one can gain here.

After passing through a passage filled with endless blue light, the Spirit Butterfly arrived inside the skull ruins.

The World Tree once visited and explored at least 90% of the ruins.

Apart from the failed exploration of the most crucial part, the remaining parts have been crafted into memory crystals as a trading condition.

Rosen had examined the memory crystal and had already rehearsed and explored the ruins many times through memory dreams.

However, after passing through the passage and seeing the interior of the ruins with his own eyes, he discovered that the ruins before him were vastly different from the ruins in the World Tree's memory.

In the World Tree's memory, what He saw at this ruin was a desolate wasteland of the world.

All life died, all buildings turned to dust.

Only a few exceptionally terrifying spiritual life forms wander endlessly within the ruins.

The World Tree was located deep within the ruins, where it was blocked from further exploration by an eternal spiritual life form.

But what Rosen sees now is not the desolate ruins of the world, but a vibrant world.

Rosen used the power of the Time Source Seed to control the Miracle Sequence, which grew to the level of an eternal historical camera.

His eyes, like lenses, captured the history that had unfolded in the past.

The reason why the ruins underwent such a drastic change was related to the endless stream of primordial behemoths that died within the ruins.

The Primal Beasts will avoid the Skull Ruins, but the Holy Temple can capture Primal Beasts and feed them to the ruins.

The eternal beings who possess primordial power in the Holy Temple must have already entered this ruin.

Then they discovered a secret that even the World Tree hadn't discovered: this world can devour life and gradually recover from desolation, which is why they capture primordial behemoths to feed this ruined world, thereby reviving the originally desolate world and making it vibrant again.

The spirit butterfly instantly vanished into the mysterious study, warily watching the outside world through the window of time and space.

As soon as He disappeared, an eternal being shrouded in a cloak appeared nearby.

This eternal being is currently using its spiritual power to carefully survey the endless grasslands near the entrance and exit.

Rosen immediately realized that this world of ruins could continuously generate spiritual power.

Of course, the efficiency is definitely not as good as the spiritual core that envelops his eternal godhood, but it is still worthwhile for eternal life to continuously operate here. The eternal life just now must have obtained and controlled spiritual power here.

It was only through mental power that he was able to perceive the almost infinitely shrunken spiritual butterfly.

This is because his premonition of time allowed him to immediately enter the mysterious study. Otherwise, he would have been trapped on the spot, and it would not have been easy for him to escape from this ruined world, since even the space-time portal could not help him leave this ruined world.

The unfamiliar eternal life form explored for a long time before quietly leaving after replenishing some of its perpetual surveillance skills.

However, although they left on the surface, they were still secretly monitoring the entrance and exit.

Rosen tried several times to manipulate the Spirit Butterfly to fly out of the mysterious study, but his time-predicting abilities issued warnings each time.

He is now trapped in the mysterious study, unable to leave and unwilling to escape back to the universe.

He could tolerate being watched by this eternal being for ten or eight years, but if it had enough patience to watch him for a thousand or eight hundred years without moving, he could never endure it for that long.

Therefore, they had to find a way to escape; if all else failed, they would have no choice but to fight the Eternal Life to the death. Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and Rosen still hadn't found a way, but the Immortal Coffin had successfully refined the Plague God's corpse.

Rosen didn't want to wait any longer, so he decided to directly release the Plague God.

Open the window of time and space, and a beetle with a body resembling a coffin appears in your palm.

This is the Heavenly Coffin Beetle, transformed from the Immortal Heavenly Coffin through the Origin of Myriad Transformations. It can manipulate the corpses revived by the Plague Saint God within its body to the maximum extent. As the Heavenly Coffin Beetle spreads its wings and flaps its wings to pass through the window of time and space, its carapace immediately cracks open, spewing out endless plague.

The spiritual power of the eternal life force, which had been prepared in secret, instantly locked onto the Heavenly Coffin Beetle and launched a mental attack.

Rosen instinctively named this mental attack "Mental Burn."

Simultaneously burning the essence and spirit within the target's body, both the source of life and the source of divinity are permanently transformed into fuel for spiritual combustion. If spiritual combustion cannot be stopped, the effect of spiritual combustion will become stronger and stronger with the aid of these two sources.

During this process, one can gain a small boost in spiritual power by using the enemy's essence as nourishment through spiritual burning.

The principle of spiritual burning is simple, but achieving it is extremely difficult.

Because the origin of life and the origin of divinity are the most core extraordinary foundations, they must have the strongest protective measures. Spiritual burning can instantly ignore all protections and directly burn the origin, which is obviously a skill that eternal life has specially developed for the primordial power.

What shocked Rosen even more was that the skill "Mental Burn" was not a fixed skill.

Skills, when broken down, consist of techniques and abilities, and are generally divided into two types: fixed and variable.

Almost all sequence skills are fixed skills.

The reason is simple: fixed skills are more powerful and easier to control.

The advantage of unfixed skills is their flexibility; however, the price of this flexibility is inevitably lower power and less convenient control.

Take the simplest Sequence 9 Fireball spell as an example. The non-fixed skill requires spiritual manipulation or direct conversion into fire element, then manipulating the arrangement of fire element, then manipulating the compression of fire element, and finally forming a stable burning fireball to throw out.

During this process, the person releasing the fireball has to do too many unnecessary operations.

The finished product's fixed skill, Fireball, has all the fire element arrangement and compression prepared in advance within the extraordinary source essence. It only requires the injection of spirituality to activate the skill, which can instantly unleash a fireball with maximum power.

Because battles happen in an instant, it's impossible to arrange and compress fire elements perfectly.

Therefore, in the early days of the universe, non-fixed skills had a glorious period.

Once the collective of eternal life gave birth to higher intelligence, fixed skills became common knowledge within the universe's extraordinary system.

Fixed skills do not mean they are immutable. The compression and arrangement of fire elements in Fireball will be continuously optimized as the user's control over fire deepens, and then permanently recorded in the extraordinary source essence.

Therefore, unfixed skills are almost never used in combat; they are only used when practicing and developing the skill ceiling.

As for the instantaneous use of skills in battle, Rosen had never seen anyone use unfixed skills, especially unfixed skills composed of primordial power. He could only think of two possibilities: the skill Spirit Burn could not be fixed, or its power would weaken if it were fixed.

If a true god uses a Sequence 9 fireball, then the variable one is definitely stronger than the fixed one.

Because the maximum power limit of fixed skills is fixed, while the True God can make Sequence 9 skills exceed the maximum power limit.

Although Spirit Burn is a skill that cannot be freely used, its destructive power is still terrifying.

However, although the Heavenly Coffin Beetle is a living being, it does not possess the essence of life or the essence of divinity within its body. Therefore, the destructive power caused by the burning of its spirit is very limited, which gives the Heavenly Coffin Beetle the opportunity to accelerate its escape.

Wherever it passed, a devastating plague and poisonous fog descended, turning the vibrant world of ruins into a desolate wasteland.

Seeing that the strongest spiritual burning was ineffective, the eternal life in the shadows instantly conjured a staff as tall as a person in its hand. Endless elements instantly transformed into an elemental domain, followed by thousands of various immortal elemental skills forming a torrent of spells that bombarded down.

These were all tests, to test the difference in the Heavenly Coffin Beetle's resistance to different forces.

Once it is discovered that a certain skill system has a counter-effect against the Sky Coffin Beetle, elemental skills of the same system will be used relentlessly until the beetle is killed.

"So it was the Holy God of Elements..."

Rosen felt a slight tightening in his heart; the Elemental Saints who could control all elemental energies were definitely in the top tier.

It's no wonder that he can master primordial power and is adept at mastering unpredictable skills.

Because the scope of the Elemental Source is too broad, although the Elemental God does not master the strongest of each element, the Elemental God is definitely the God who has mastered the most skills of different power systems in the universe. The World Tree's evaluation of Him is that He is a jack of all trades and master of none.

On the surface, being a jack of all trades and master of none is certainly not a good assessment.

However, every extraordinary system in the universe has its limits. The eternal life that masters the source of fire can only develop derivative powers after reaching the limit in the field of fire. But the elemental saints, after developing the power of the fire element to the limit, can turn around and develop other elemental powers.

Therefore, in its early years, the Elemental Saints were at best among the first tier in terms of potential and the second tier in terms of strength.

However, as long as the Elemental God lives, he will inevitably transform from a jack-of-all-trades to a master of all trades.

Rosen is now facing an all-powerful, specialized elemental god. Even at the peak of the World Tree, it would be impossible for him to easily defeat an elemental god. He really hit the jackpot by coming to this primordial ruin, directly encountering one of the strongest eternal life forms in the universe.

They definitely can't win in a fight, but it won't be easy for the Elemental Saint to kill the Heavenly Coffin Beetle either.

The Heavenly Coffin Beetle, transformed from an Eternal Relic, possesses terrifyingly strong defensive capabilities. Combined with the cycle of time and space, as long as the Eternal Time and Space Origin is not exhausted, the Elemental God would be considered powerful enough to inflict permanent damage on the Heavenly Coffin Beetle, let alone kill it.

The cycle of time and space is so domineering in terms of survival; otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to defeat the Immortal Star God.

The Heavenly Coffin Beetle rampaged to the edge of the elemental domain, then opened a spacetime portal in the void and escaped.

The portal to the spacetime boundary cannot cross the spacetime barrier between the inside and outside of the primordial ruins, but it is not difficult to open it inside the primordial ruins. It is not difficult to open a door that goes deep into the ruins directly by relying on the portal to the spacetime boundary, and it is also not difficult to get rid of the surveillance of the elemental gods.

However, it's not difficult to escape at the entrance and exit of the ruins, but once you go deeper into the ruins, there's no way to escape.

Rosen was quite certain that once the portal to the interdimensional world was discovered, there would be more than one eternal being guarding the entrance and exit. At that point, it wouldn't be so easy to escape. Therefore, the Heavenly Coffin Beetle was needed as an open intruder to scout ahead.

As expected, the Elemental Saint God was unable to defeat the Heavenly Coffin Beetle, and soon other eternal beings intercepted him from the front.

Despite enduring the most severe beatings, the Heavenly Coffin Beetle, like an unkillable cockroach, overcame all obstacles. Although it could not harm eternal life, the plague and poisonous mist it left behind continuously ravaged the ruins world.

Finally, the three eternal beings who were pursuing them had no choice but to send one of them to suppress the plague fog.

It is obvious that they do not want their carefully constructed world of ruins to be destroyed.

Seeing that Rosen's accumulated eternal spacetime essence was almost exhausted, the Heavenly Coffin Beetle finally saw the familiar desolation in the World Tree's memory in the Ruins World, and the Elemental Saint God who had chased it here immediately stopped the pursuit.

Rosen immediately realized that he had arrived at the deepest part of the ruins where the World Tree had been defeated.

The space of this ruin is not very large, but the level of spacetime and matter is very high, surpassing eternity. Therefore, even if the elemental gods used all their strength, they could not harm the ruin world itself. Even the World Tree can only enter and exit through the single entrance.

The Heavenly Coffin Beetle was flying around looking around when suddenly everything went black and it was slammed into the depths of the earth.

Instinctively, I decided to go at least ten thousand miles underground.

Even with the super-eternal material strength of the ruins world, the Elemental God couldn't break through more than a thousand miles of earth in one go despite his all-out attack. Yet the Heavenly Coffin Beetle was slammed into the ground for tens of thousands of miles without even seeing a person. No wonder the Elemental God didn't dare to pursue it here.

Feeling the pain of almost being crushed to pieces, Rosen immediately used the Time Reincarnation technique to recover completely.

Before he could react, the terrifying spiritual power penetrated deep into his body and tore the Heavenly Coffin Beetle to shreds.

Rosen realized that relying solely on time loops, the Heavenly Coffin Beetle would only face certain death.

At the same time as the cycle of time and space began, a spiritual butterfly was spat out from its mouth.

It could not possibly be the mother of the Spirit Soul Butterfly, but rather a offspring born from the Spirit Soul Butterfly transforming into the Root Nest.

Even at its peak, the World Tree was defeated here, so Rosen certainly wasn't here to commit suicide.

His reliance is on the Eternal Soul-Binding Horn and the Spiritual Core. Since these things originated here and he has now refined and mastered them, he might receive preferential treatment here.

After all, when a wanderer returns home, he may be beaten, but he may also receive care from his family.

As expected, after the offspring of the Spirit Soul Butterfly swallowed the Heavenly Coffin Beetle, the unseen terrifying entity's relentless attacks disappeared. The spiritual power descending from above no longer caused damage, but instead enveloped the Spirit Soul Butterfly and pulled it from the ground to the surface.
