Chapter 257: The Demon Appears

The Thousand-Change Silkworms produced by the Five-Element Butterflies in the Butterfly Sacred Valley possess a dense Five-Element origin.

There has always been a legend in the Butterfly Sacred Valley that only a Thousand-Change Silkworm possessing the Five-Element origin can evolve into a Five-Element Sacred Butterfly after evolving into a Five-Element Butterfly.

And the Thousand-Change Silkworms born outside the Butterfly Sacred Valley generally evolve into guards for the Five-Element Butterflies.

The Five-Element origin within this Thousand-Change Silkworm that suddenly intruded is even denser than that of the Thousand-Change Silkworms they meticulously cultivate.

This left these Five-Element Butterflies floating in the air unsure of which side they should support.

The energy of the Five-Element Crystals is too violent; it is generally absorbed and pacified by the Five-Element Butterflies before being transported into the bodies of the Thousand-Change Silkworms.

For all these years, this is how they have operated.

That is why their companions have become more and more numerous, though two were snatched away by intruders into the Butterfly Sacred Valley not long ago.

The Thousand-Change Silkworm continues to adopt a reckless, head-on approach.

It can be seen absorbing the surrounding Five-Element Crystals in large quantities.

Its body is also emitting a blinding, intense light.

Ah, is it about to evolve?

The Five-Element Butterflies all widened their eyes.

However, they soon discovered that this fellow was simply glowing, and its appearance had not changed in the slightest.

The Five-Element Butterflies immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They continued to extract energy from the Five-Element Crystals and input the converted energy into the body of the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

Ye Bai followed the Space Pelican and landed below; he even set up his phone to record the moment of the Thousand-Change Silkworm's evolution.

This is important research material.

In addition to possessing a massive amount of Five-Element Crystals, the Butterfly Sacred Valley also possesses a large amount of Space Crystals.

Ye Bai gave the Space Pelican a look, deciding to take this opportunity to collect more Space Crystals.

The Space Pelican is only at the fourth rank right now, which is indeed a bit weak.

The sky gradually grew dark.

The moon slowly climbed up.

The Clone of the Thousand-Change Silkworm remained bright and glowing, while the Thousand-Change Silkworm itself had begun to sleep soundly.

Ye Bai observed one thing: the Clones of the Thousand-Change Silkworm seem to possess self-awareness; even when the Thousand-Change Silkworm falls into a deep sleep, these Clones can still follow Ye Bai's commands.

The Butterfly Sacred Valley is quite safe, with Five-Element Butterflies spread throughout the entire valley.

They seem not to take Ye Bai seriously, so they let Ye Bai record the evolution of the Five-Element Butterflies.

The entire evolution process lasted for a day and a night.

At this moment, the Thousand-Change Silkworm that was evolving showed signs of movement, and its back subsequently split open.

A Five-Element Butterfly crawled out, its wings dull and gray.

That Thousand-Change Silkworm had already absorbed enough Five-Element energy and was about to take the final step.

At this time, the Clone of the Thousand-Change Silkworm also had some movement.

Its body began to flicker with five-colored light.

The energy of the Five-Element Crystals was being plundered by the Clone of the Thousand-Change Silkworm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the very next second, the Clone of the Thousand-Change Silkworm retracted the light on its body.

A slit appeared on its back.

A colorful butterfly slowly crawled out from within.

Its movements were very, very slow, as if its limbs were somewhat uncoordinated.

Its body was covered in mucus, and its wings hung limp on its back.

It remained motionless, and the wings on its back subsequently unfolded.

Ye Bai discovered that the wings of this Five-Element Butterfly were twice the size of an ordinary Five-Element Butterfly.

All the Five-Element Butterflies present were nothing but younger siblings to the Clone of the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

A pressure originating from an Emperor emerged from the body of the Thousand-Change Silkworm.

Almost all the Five-Element Butterflies hovering in the air fell from the sky one after another, prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to move even a fraction of an inch.

Ye Bai discovered with surprise that there was something like a crown on the head of the Thousand-Change Silkworm's Clone.

Could it be that it has become the king of the Five-Element Butterflies?

【Evolution Route 1: Five-Element Sacred Butterfly: Emperor Flowing Plasma】

【Rating: The Emperor among Five-Element Butterflies; it radiates terrifying pressure, and it is also the leader of the Five-Element Butterflies.】

The numerous Five-Element Butterflies sensed that their leader had descended.

At the same time, they also discovered that the Butterfly Sacred Valley had been surrounded by a group of Sunflower Emperors.

"Not bad, Sunflower Emperor, you have seized the most advantageous position."

The Emperor Flowing Plasma will arrive very soon.

The night was like ink, the stars hidden, and a cold, sinister aura quietly spread as black energy gradually expanded toward the Butterfly Sacred Valley.

Deep within the Butterfly Sacred Valley, there was an ancient stone gate. This stone gate stood on the desolate land, covered in vines.

The inscriptions carved into the stone gate had also become blurred and indistinct due to the wind and rain.

The stone gate was plastered with a large number of golden Demon Seals.

Just at this moment, the atmosphere around the stone gate suddenly grew tense; an indescribable sense of oppression permeated the air, and a suffocating pain emanated from the surroundings.

The sky, previously illuminated by the silver moon, began to grow dark, and black clouds churned as if a ferocious giant beast were stirring within them.

Thunder rumbled, and lightning tore across the sky, striking the ground heavily and blasting out a crater of moderate size.

The earth began to tremble, the slight shaking gradually evolving into a violent earthquake, leaving the surrounding ground in a mess.

The runes on the stone gate began to flicker with golden light, and blood slowly flowed out from the cracks in the stone gate—pitch-black blood, attempting to contaminate the runes on the stone gate.

This way, the Diyuzhimen could be opened, summoning the Hell army directly.

The runes on the stone gate twisted and trembled like living things, as if some behemoth wanted to break through the seal and enter this Secret Realm.

With a deafening roar, more than half of the runes sealing the stone gate were extinguished, becoming dim and lusterless, and it was clear the energy of the runes was about to be exhausted.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the stone gate, spreading rapidly until it finally shattered with a boom.

A demon stumbled out from the seal; its figure was tall and twisted, its entire body wreathed in deep, dark mist. Its eyes revealed greed and arrogance, as if it were admiring a beautiful scene.

It spread its huge wings, and with a flap, it stirred up a Gale, sweeping dust and debris into the air.

A deafening roar pierced the clouds; its massive body was like a pitch-black mountain, blotting out the sky and sun.

The demon's eyes were like bottomless abysses of darkness, releasing a soul-captivating light.

The moment the demon appeared, the Sunflower Emperor had already sensed it.

It was the most sensitive to the aura of demons, and the Holy Light of the Sunflower Emperor could effectively restrain demons.

This demon had bull horns on its head and a pair of huge bat wings on its back.

Its body was extremely robust, clearly an elite among demons.

"Lava Demon Yasi, where did that dead ghost run off to?"

"Could it be that it's so happy it forgot home?"

"This seal is getting weaker and weaker; Yasi rushed in not long ago."

"Now I can also rush in, and before long, it is possible that even the great Demon Monarchs will descend in their true forms to the location of Blue Star."

This massive Power Demon said in a muffled voice.

The Power Demon is also considered a relatively rare demon; it is born with divine strength and has extremely strong melee capabilities, but its ranged and defensive capabilities can only be described as trash.

In other words, the Power Demon is equivalent to a standard meat shield.

The Power Demon had a mind to take this opportunity to destroy the seal and release the demons.

But it hesitated.

"Human Soul is the best nourishment."

"I will go forage first, and then destroy the seal to let the other demons come out together."

"Haha, I really am a clever one."

The Power Demon flapped its wings, kicking up gusts of Gale.

Ye Bai saw a mass of gray mist suddenly form through his Insight Eye.

On this mass of gray mist, a thick, bloody, murderous aura also appeared.

"If I'm not mistaken, the seal should be right where the gray mist appeared."

"Only an Exotic Beast like a demon with such a strong aura of slaughter would possess such a thick, bloody, murderous scent."

The demon and the seal had been found.

Ye Bai hurriedly used his Communication Bead to send a message to Zhang Dashan.

"Help, Grandmaster, I've found the location of the Demon Seal; a demon has already broken free from the seal and appeared here."

"That demon's body is so big."

At this moment, Zhang Dashan, who was out searching bitterly for the demon, was suddenly overjoyed.

Ye Bai found the Demon Seal?

And a demon escaped?

"Where are you located right now?"

"Give me a detailed location."

"Or you can have your Pet Beast spray a flame into the sky."

After hearing this, Ye Bai pinned his hopes on the Clone of the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

"Myriad-Change Silkworm, use Departing Fire."

"Draw an SOS in the sky."

This was the best way to let Zhang Dashan find him immediately.

At this time, the Myriad-Change Silkworm transformed into a Five-Element Butterfly.

The many surrounding Five-Element Butterflies looked at one another.

None of them could recognize what the difference was between these two Five-Element Butterflies.

Both radiated a pressure so terrifying that it made them submit.

And they were almost exactly the same.

"Just now, the Myriad-Change Silkworm couldn't transform into a Five-Element Butterfly."

"Mimicry must have certain limitations; it's only after the Myriad-Change Silkworm's Clone evolves into a Five-Element Butterfly that it can mimic it."

"It seems Mimicry still has its limitations."

The SOS signal, filled with fiery light, unfurled in the sky, and Zhang Dashan soon discovered that Ye Bai was in Butterfly Valley, which was the very place where he and Su Qingxian had once captured the Five Elements Butterflies together.
