Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

Silence, a deathly silence.

"What was that just now?"

A voice broke the silence.

She is Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with fear and disbelief.

First Soul Skill?

The soul spell that Xia Die mentioned earlier seems to be the first soul skill.

Is that correct?

The sight of the colossal, sky-covering claws of the beast sent shivers down one's spine.

With a single strike, he sent the ferocious beast, comparable to a level 97 Title Douluo, flying.

Moreover, it was just a claw.

What is the whole picture?

Not only Xu Jiujiu, but even Nebula Douluo Manyi, who was preparing to make a move after the Crimson King launched his attack, and Healing Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er, felt as if something was stuck in their throats.

They were the ones who felt it most acutely—that immense power emanating from the purple space, a power that seemed capable of annihilating the soul.

Vast, boundless...

Especially after the claws disappeared, it remained stagnant in the closing purple space.

A pair of blurry, deep eyes.

The purple spatial rift disappeared, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to return to peace.

No, it should be said that everything, even the sounds of wild beasts, fell silent.

Xia Die gripped the hilt of the Grim Reaper's Scythe in her right hand, her voice calm as she said, "I wonder if my performance just now met the standards of His Excellency the Beast God?"

"Human, you are threatening me." Di Tian stared intently at Xia Die with his golden eyes, then glanced at the auspicious beast that was being held by Manyi and had not yet woken up.

"If that's your opinion, then so be it," Xia Die said calmly. "Your spatial mastery is unparalleled on the continent, but are you truly confident that you can kill us while simultaneously saving the auspicious beast?"

"In that case, why not agree to let the demon spirit offer itself as a sacrifice to me?"

"you……"

Di Tian looked Xia Die up and down, and said coldly, "You are the first person who has ever dared to threaten me like this."

"I don't know what kind of power you used, but can you use it a second time?"

"You wish to gamble?" Xia Die's voice was flat.

Di Tian fell silent.

The importance of imperial auspicious beasts goes without saying.

If one was absolutely certain of retrieving the auspicious beast from these people, then one could see the colossal dragon, its outline indistinct, tearing through space.

Di Tian fell silent.

He was certain that the thing inside was a dragon.

But it wasn't the dragon he knew; it was a dragon constructed from the laws of death.

It's not soul power, but the law itself.

As the Dragon God's protector, he knows more than the humans and soul beasts of Douluo Continent.

The person before me may be more dangerous than a Limit Douluo.

This danger stems from the unknown.

Then look at the auspicious beasts, the demon spirits, and the Crimson King, who has crashed into countless giant trees and has yet to return.

Di Tian remained silent for a long time before exhaling a breath of turbid air: "Since you mentioned sacrifice, you must know what sacrifice means. I need to speak with the demon spirit."

"Of course it's possible." Xia Die nodded gently.

Within the realm, the petals of the Antichrist rose and began to swirl in the low air.

One minute, two minutes.

Finally, these petals merged into the spirit's body.

Di Tian could see clearly that the chaotic soul fluctuations of the demon spirit began to stabilize.

"Boss."

The demon licked the saliva that had dripped to the corner of its lips.

"Demon, this human named Xia Die is asking you to be sacrificed. What are your thoughts?"

"I agree. I already agreed before."

Di Tian: "..."

So, you weren't actually asking for my opinion?

Di Tian wasn't too surprised that Xia Die was able to reach an agreement with the demon spirit in advance.

"Demon Spirit, do you understand what sacrifice means?" Di Tian asked after a long silence.

"Of course." The demon spirit nodded. "Boss, you don't need to be sad for me."

"Even if the auspicious beast exists, I have little chance of breaking through the 300,000-year limit. My soul and spirit are severely damaged, and continuing would only be a matter of prolonging my life."

"Hoo—" Di Tian sighed, "I understand."

"Thank you for your understanding, boss," the demon spirit said gratefully.

"By the way," Xia Die's voice rang out at the right moment, "Your Majesty, how about sending my companions out first?"

"You are the Beast God, and we still feel a lot of pressure in your presence." Xia Die paused for a moment, "We will return the auspicious beast to you after we leave the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Can."

Di Tian didn't say much.

As far as mainland China is now, he believes no one would dare to lie to him.

Thank you.

Xia Die expressed her gratitude and turned her gaze to the three people who seemed to be human-machines.

Several Antichrist flowers detached from the ground and gently floated down to land on the hands of Manyi, Xu Jiujiu, and Wang Xian'er.

"Take this with you; it will allow me to know your location directly."

The three exchanged a glance and nodded.

They have many questions to ask, but now is clearly not the time to ask them.

"You...you have to be careful." Xu Jiujiu grabbed Xia Die's hand.

"Mm." Xia Die nodded gently.

"Red King." Di Tian saw the Red King hiding in the distance. "Lead them out of the Star Dou Great Forest, and bring the auspicious beast back with you when you're done."

"clear."

The Crimson King lightly leaped down to Emperor Tian's side.

At this moment, the Crimson King's red fur was stained with some dust, and its skin had several scratches, but the entire soul beast still looked majestic.

However, a deep sense of apprehension flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xia Die.

The Red King was not seriously injured, but he never wanted to experience the feeling of his soul being forcibly choked again.

Led by the Crimson King, Xu Jiujiu and the others left the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Sacrifice".

Without hesitation, the demon spirit emitted a sacrificial light.

Like a pillar of light shooting into the sky, it quickly connected with the soul power on Xia Die's body.

As the white light came into contact, their auras began to blend.

Di Tian simply watched quietly; he did nothing and said nothing.

This continued for an unknown period of time.

Xia Die rose from her seated position, and two soul rings, one purple and one red, slowly pulsed beneath her feet.

Seeing that Xia Die had finished absorbing the spirit ring, Di Tian said coldly, "Spirit ring absorption complete. You may leave now."

"Yes, indeed." Xia Die nodded. "However, there is someone who wants to meet you."

"Who?" Di Tian frowned.

The butterfly remained silent, and the sea of ​​flowers in the area continued to sway, gradually converging into a phantom image.

The image gradually solidified.

"Demon spirit".

Upon seeing the invisible black mist, Di Tian instinctively spoke.

"That's right, boss, it's me. Surprised?"

The demon spirit's neutral voice was still the familiar tone to Di Tian.

"What's wrong with you right now?"

"Hehe, if I were to sacrifice something and get nothing in return, how could I dare to make a sacrifice?" The demon chuckled. "This is an agreement that my master and I reached from the very beginning."

"Of course, my little master is different from ordinary soul masters."

"Hmph! I see through it." Di Tian remained noncommittal.

Xia Die extended her fair palm, and the crystalline soul bone was drawn to her hand and then placed into her storage soul tool.

Xia Die lightly swung her right hand, and the scythe swung forward.

The purple spatial rift slowly opened.

"Your Excellency Demon Spirit, you have a quarter of an hour to talk," Xia Die said, then stepped into the spatial rift.

"This is truly incomprehensible!"

The demon spirit watched as Xia Die departed, and the spatial rift disappeared.

Di Tian and the demon spirit faced each other.

Di Tian couldn't help but speak first: "You had another reason for sacrificing that little girl, didn't you?"

"Yes." The demon spirit sighed and nodded. "There's something wrong with the soul of the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."
