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

"Your sister is gone," Electrolux said with a sigh.

"Yes!" Xia Die nodded. "We are twins, and our powers overlap, so we might be able to meet even across the universe."

"Before I awakened my martial soul this time, I had a feeling that I would see her."

"That's incredible," Electrox said curiously. "So, your martial soul is your sister?"

"I don't think so!"

The butterfly pondered for a moment and gently shook its head.

"My martial spirit is Polyces, the dragon that just appeared in the sky. It is the manifestation of my authority."

"However, under certain circumstances, my relationship with Polycia is such that Polycia can contact me through Polyces."

"Um……"

Electrolux did not respond.

He's becoming increasingly interested in destiny, messengers, and star gods.

But even if Xia Die is willing to talk about it, without experiencing it firsthand, she probably wouldn't understand it very well.

"I should go back now."

Xia Die's figure began to fade. "Polysia's appearance will likely cause changes in the outside world. I hope nothing unexpected happens!"

Xia Die was unsure whether the resonance of authority would cause a huge uproar in Xingluo City, in case Tang Shenwang discovered some unusual changes.

That would definitively mean "you have a way to die."

"Alright."

Electrolux nodded, watching the projected figure of the Butterfly disappear into his mental sea.

……

"Hoo—" Xia Die opened her eyes, her consciousness returning to the outside world.

An aura of death emanated from her, though it was much weaker than true power.

It refers to quality, not quantity.

Xia Die already knows how to convert power into soul power.

She pressed her advantage, placing her palm on the device for testing soul power.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

A few crisp sounds.

The readings on the soul tool used to test soul power were rapidly increasing until they stopped at a certain level.

"Level 20 Soul Power".

Xia Die put down the testing device; her current soul power was about what she had estimated.

What she needs to do is to be compatible with the laws of the world, instead of degrading divine power into soul power like Di Tian did, which then cannot be restored to divine power.

"Level 20, plus the ultimate death attribute, that should be enough."

Xia Die gently raised her fair hand, and wisps of purple light gathered into shape, forming a long-handled scythe in her palm.

Xia Die carefully sensed the condensed weapon, then frowned slightly: "Stabilizing the soul power into a solid form, it can probably last for a minute."

"Too short," Xia Die shook her head. "Looks like we need a medium?"

Only by finding an object as a medium can power be transformed into soul power and maintained in a stable state.

Xia Die pondered for a moment, then Nan Nan said:

"I remember that at Starlight Auction House, there was a listed engraving knife that had been consistently unsold because of its ferocious nature of devouring its owner."

This thing might serve as a weapon to embody her power.

Speaking of which, the first time Huo Yuhao entered the Starlight Auction House, Electrolux made him buy this Soul-Devouring Carving Knife.

I don't know if the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife is still for sale, or what its price is.

"I remember in the original story, this sword was priced at 100,000 gold soul coins."

"hiss--"

Xia Die gasped.

Even if you sold her, she wouldn't be able to come up with 100,000 gold soul coins!

"Is Miss Xia Die here?"

The knocking on the door interrupted Xia Die's thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Xia Die composed herself.

"Miss Xia Die, you haven't left the house for a week."

"You're in business, why are you controlling how long people stay in hotels?" Xia Die asked doubtfully. "If I remember correctly, I paid for a month's accommodation, right?"

"That's not how it works."

The hotel manager's wry smile came through the room, "Something happened a few days ago..."

After listening to the hotel manager's account from outside the door, Xia Die fell into a long silence.

After several days of darkness shrouding Xingluo City, is the Xingluo royal family registering all visitors?

"trouble!"

Xiaodie sighed.

"Miss Xia Die, you'll receive a 30% discount on your stay this time." The hotel manager, sensing Xia Die's dissatisfaction, added...

"We have no choice. It's an order from the royal family. Please come out and register."

"All right."

Xia Die stood up and pushed open the door to the room.

The hotel manager wore a forced smile and an apologetic expression.

Before long, Xia Die followed the hotel manager to the lobby.

The hotel lobby was filled with people, many of whom were Soul Masters.

In the center of the hotel lobby, a blonde woman was looking at an information sheet.

The woman had a stunning figure; she was the kind of woman who would immediately draw attention.

The high-level Soul Masters are probably no more than 15 years old, and there are also hidden powerhouses lurking in the shadows.

"Your Highness," the hotel manager bowed respectfully to the blonde woman, "this is the last registered Soul Master guest at our Starry Sky Hotel."

The woman addressed as Princess slowly turned around, and a look of surprise appeared on her face the moment she saw Xia Die.

"You take the others and leave first. I need to talk to this young lady."

"Yes." The hotel manager and several waiters ushered the rest of the people away.

Seeing this, Xia Die fell silent. It seemed that this princess was coming for her.

I shouldn't have entered into deep meditation, but I didn't sense any killing intent, so nothing serious should happen.

If all else fails, the only option is to break through space and escape.

Before awakening her martial soul, she was too severely suppressed to do it, but now...

It's important to know that breaking through space usually requires the strength of a Title Douluo of level 95 or above.

To be able to use spatial abilities to travel, aside from space-type Soul Masters, one must reach the Limit Douluo level.

Just as Xia Die was pondering, the blonde woman slowly spoke: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Xia Die. My name is Xu Jiujiu, and I am the eldest princess of the Star Luo Empire."

Xu Jiujiu was very proper in both her speech and demeanor.

For a long time?

So that's how it is. Although I had expected it, I was still quite shocked.

"Does Your Highness wish to speak to me?" Xia Die became wary.

With his maximum attribute and his own domain, a four-ring Soul Master should have no difficulty defeating his opponent.

The trouble lies behind, with that powerful figure who appears to be a Title Douluo.

Xia Die had already learned a lot of information from the manager, but the matter of Xingluo Daheitian had still caused too much of a stir.

The awakening of martial spirits sealed off the entire city.

This is either the birth of an unparalleled demon or the emergence of an unparalleled genius.

Polycia, look at you! You came to see me, but you made such a big fuss.

"Why!"

Xia Die felt helpless.

Since things have come to this point, we can only deal with whatever comes our way.

"Miss Xia Die, you were awakening your martial soul before, right?" Xu Jiujiu asked directly, without any intention of beating around the bush.

"Yes, Your Highness." Others either waited until her martial soul awakening was over before appearing, or they stayed here for a while.

However, a titled Douluo is extremely perceptive, and it is not difficult for him to detect subtle fluctuations in the air.

Xu Jiujiu seemed to have no intention of probing Xia Die's martial soul. She cleared her throat and said:

"I wonder if Miss Xia Die has any intention of joining our Star Luo Empire?"
