Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 142 The Bond Between the Divine Butterfly and Li Zhexian: More Than One Deity

The divine butterfly fluttered its wings, streaking through the underground palace with dazzling light, and rushed straight to the end of the passageway.

The three-eyed golden lion, which had been rolling around in the flowerbed, shook its head and followed closely behind.

The two soul beasts were about to break free of the restriction.

A barrier of soul power suddenly appeared.

boom--!
boom--!
Two muffled sounds.

The barrier rippled.

The divine butterfly and the three-eyed golden lion were bounced back in a sorry state.

The butterfly stabilized itself in mid-air.

He suddenly turned around and looked into the depths of the underground palace.

Its wings flapped rapidly, stirring up tiny ice crystals and sparks.

Two colorful antennae on its head pointed out of the passageway, conveying a silent urgency.

The three-eyed golden lion shook its head, its crimson-gold eyes revealing anticipation.

The underground palace fell into a brief silence.

After counting the breaths.

Rumbling--

The entire underground palace began to shake.

Gravel fell in a rustling sound, and the ground trembled incessantly.

Deep within the underground palace, in darkness even thicker than the night.

Suddenly, two huge golden cracks appeared.

Like two blazing suns, they revolved in eternal darkness, their majesty causing even space to tremble.

"No."

A deep, resonant sound, like the crashing of mountains, proclaimed to the three-eyed golden lion:
"Humans are cunning. You may leave the underground palace only after you have cultivated for ten thousand years."

These words rolled through the underground palace.

It no longer paid any attention to the baring teeth and growling of the imperial beast.

Those enormous golden eyes, like the sun and moon.

It landed on the anxious butterfly that was flapping its wings.

"brat……"

"You mean you sensed the presence of a human being connected to you by blood?"

The divine butterfly nodded repeatedly, and ice flames splashed everywhere.

call--

call--

A sudden gust of wind arose inside the underground palace.

in the dark.

A sound like the grinding of scales against a collapsing mountain could be heard.

Those golden eyes suddenly widened, as if approaching from the darkness.

The barely visible outline of scales, like those cast in black gold, already filled the field of vision.

"The human you are bound to... the human who created you..."

About half a year ago.

It sensed a faint yet profound aura and entered the Starry Sky Forest.

The three-eyed golden lion, which possessed the fortune of a soul beast, was particularly sensitive to this aura.

After guiding him to the underground palace.

Only then did it see the true nature of this butterfly.

Its extraordinary origins far exceed imagination.

The Imperial Beast is linked to the fate of the entire Soul Beast race.

however.

This Ice Flame Butterfly.

Yet they transcend fate.

—Break free from the cocoon of fate and escape the cage of the future.

This is a soul beast that should not have been born, yet miraculously broke free from its destiny.

For it.

This tiny divine butterfly.

It glimpsed a glimmer of hope to break the curse of the soul beasts.

Its importance is now on par with that of imperial auspicious beasts.

"brat……"

A deep voice sounded.

"Human beings are complex and unpredictable."

Even if they are bound to you, it is difficult to discern whether they are good or evil.

"You are still too weak, so you should stay in the underground palace."

The butterfly suddenly turned around.

Ice flames condensed on the butterfly's wings, transforming into a dazzling stream of light that resolutely crashed into the soul power restriction.

boom--

boom--

again and again.

Even if the barrier doesn't budge.

Even if each impact causes injury.

It remained relentless.

The butterfly wings were broken upon impact.

Frost and fire fragments flew like sparks.

Its small body swayed from the shock, but it stubbornly flapped its wings and soared upwards again.

It was less than a year old.

But it has an extraordinary foundation and is nourished by the rich vital energy of the underground palace.

May its wisdom awaken early, and its cultivation progress by leaps and bounds.

It clearly remembers its origins.

They realized even more how precious their "stolen" life was.

It was originally a silent cocoon on a withered branch beside the eye of the Yin and Yang of Ice and Fire.

day to day.

It endures the dual tempering of extreme cold and scorching heat.

Facing extinction within the cocoon of fate.

Until that day...

A young man in white robes arrived at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. He used his sword energy to cleave the shackles of fate.

It flapped its wings from the ashes.

The first thing you see is the starlight on the young man's sword.

The divine butterfly's thoughts were churning.

The impact was even stronger.

A glittering fragment of a butterfly wing drifted down, emitting a mournful yet stubborn low murmur.

The three-eyed golden lion roared anxiously towards the depths of the underground palace.

immediately.

It stood upright, its claws tearing at the restrictions, as if to clear a path for the divine butterfly.

"That's all."

The golden dragon's eyes glared angrily.

Liquid energy surged into rivers through the crisscrossing cracks in the ground, condensing into a water mirror in the center.

Ripples spread across the mirror.

Gradually, a misty forest came into view.

"Let me see..."

"What kind of extraordinary human being is it that you are so concerned about?"

I saw.

A deep, ancient forest that blocks out the sky.

A hazy, miasma flowed through the forest.

In the water mirror.

The image shows a boy in a white shirt and a blonde girl.

When that haunting figure came into view.

The once listless butterfly now excitedly flutters around the water mirror.

It stretched out its slender tentacles to touch the boy in the mirror.

But it only stirred up ripples on the mirror surface.

The three-eyed golden lion tilted its head curiously, looking at the scene in the mirror.

"Um?!"

From the depths of the underground palace came a sound of surprise and doubt.

"The aura of a deity? This human girl actually possesses the aura of a deity?"

talking.

The golden dragon eyes looked at the white-robed youth.

"brat……"

"Is this the person you're bound to?"

"Let me take a closer look..."

"Hmm, sharp and piercing, naturally gifted with swordsmanship, an amazing talent."

Observing this water mirror across a vast distance, one's perception is ultimately limited.

even so.

The sharp edge that emanated from this young man.

This still made Di Tian nod secretly.

Followed by.

A faint, obscure aura seemed to penetrate the spatial barrier and quietly emanated from the white-robed youth.

"The aura of a deity?!"

"This young man actually possesses the aura of a deity?!"

"and……"

"There is more than one deity!"

The deep voice, filled with surprise and doubt, surged against the water mirror, causing the image to distort and ripple.

And this time.

The white-clad boy in the water mirror stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed.

His sharp, sword-like eyes suddenly rose and scanned the surrounding void.

"Oh?"

"You sensed it already?"

"What's wrong, Li Zhexian?"

Li Zhexian stopped in his tracks without warning.

Caught off guard, Qian Renxue's slender body bumped into his back.

Li Bai's forehead.

The mark on the Azure Lotus Sword flickered intermittently.

His face was solemn.

His sharp gaze swept across the gray, misty forest, where endless dangers lurked.

"I think……"

Li Zhexian's tone was tense.

“There is an unknown entity… watching us.”

Qian Renxue was startled.

Li Zhexian grabbed her hand and ran wildly towards the edge of the forest.

"Aren't you going to hunt for spirit rings anymore?"

"No, this place is fraught with danger!"

In the underground palace.

"Your perception is not bad."

The giant golden eyes looked at the divine butterfly.

"Little one, this human is leaving. You can go see him again after you have completed your cultivation."

The divine butterfly emitted soft, fragmented murmurs.

The giant golden eyes suddenly glared angrily.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"As a spirit beast, you actually help humans hunt for spirit rings?"

The butterfly turned around.

Continue to ram the barrier relentlessly.

The three-eyed golden lion also stood up once more.

Scratching with claws...
