Chapter 452: The Descent of the Divine Calamity

After the firelight dissipated, the Myriad-Change Butterfly flew out slowly, clutching the essence blood of the Mandala Golden Corpse.

Shui Yaori had already sensed the severing of the contract.

"It infuriates me! Who on earth had such great ability to actually kill my Mandala Golden Corpse alive?"

That was the hope of the entire village!

Having finally seen the dawn of evolving into an eighth-rank Pet Beast, it was just blasted away like that.

Shui Yaori almost hated Ye Bai to death.

"No rush, no rush."

"As long as the Xingjie can be opened and the Bureau is breached, the divine sparks harvested alone will be enough to let you break through to the eighth rank."

"Sun God, Moon God, start inscribing the Xingjie array."

"Huo Yaori, Mu Yaori, Shui Yaori, Tu Yaori, you disperse to the four corners; we must ensure that when the Sun God and Moon God are drawing the Xingjie array, they will not be disturbed."

Jin Yaori gave the order.

After swallowing the essence blood of the Mandala Golden Corpse, the Myriad-Change Butterfly's body emitted bursts of golden light.

Clusters of silk threads mixed with white light sprayed onto the ground, forming a thick silkworm cocoon.

At this moment, the Myriad-Change Butterfly finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It had finally separated this Clone; the next step was to let this Clone evolve into a Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly.

Through Ye Bai's Truth Eye, the Heart Core of the Flame Ghost King and the essence blood of the Mandala Golden Corpse were blending together like water and milk, slowly permeating into the Clone inside the cocoon.

It was influencing the Clone inside the cocoon.

At this moment, the Myriad-Change Butterfly suddenly discovered that the Clone had disconnected from it.

It breathed a huge sigh of relief; disconnecting from itself proved that this Clone had the potential to evolve into an Emperor.

But since the Clone was separated from its own body, even if it had birthed its own consciousness, it still belonged to it and accepted its control.

In the future, with seven little brothers who had become Emperors to act as thugs, the Myriad-Change Butterfly could easily live a leisurely life of eating, sleeping, and beating up beans.

The essence blood of the Mandala Golden Corpse gradually submerged into the Clone's body.

After being eroded, the Clone became very shriveled, and its massive life force was completely drained away.

A special Heart Core was gestated in the region of its heart.

The Hell fire of the Flame Ghost King was constantly scorching the Heart Core, awakening the Clone's vitality.

Thump, thump, thump.

The previously stilled heart began to beat once more.

Not long after, fire-red flames emerged from the cocoon.

A crackling sound came from within.

Before long, the entire cocoon burst open, and a pair of flaming wings emerged from the sea of fire.

The Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly appeared.

The moment it appeared, Yin energy surged everywhere.

Green ghost fire floated in the air, looking terrifyingly eerie.

However, in Ye Bai's eyes, this seemed to be only a semi-finished product.

It needed to swallow a large amount of ghost fire and Yin energy; only after growing a second pair of flaming wings would the Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly be considered fully evolved.

The appearance of this Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly looked shriveled, just like a corpse.

Its wings were covered in gorgeous black patterns, looking exceptionally bewitching.

The Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly was the nemesis of Undead Exotic Beasts; the Red Lotus fire on its wings could burn the Soul and convert it into its own power.

"This ability is actually quite powerful."

"Myriad-Change Butterfly, your Clone is about to surpass you."

"Don't always think about playing; improving yourself and showing off your true self is what matters."

Ye Bai continued to gaslight the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly immediately revealed a look of disdain.

It had long since seen through Ye Bai's routine.

Wanting to use some trivial matters to gaslight it? Not a chance.

"By the way, Myriad-Change Butterfly, you still need to work hard now; only when your Clone becomes an Emperor can you truly relax."

Ye Bai knows how to paint a big picture.

"However, now is not the time for us to slack off."

"Wanbian Die, come with me."

"Tuntian Tihu, use Space Transfer; we must keep some distance from the Seven Stars, otherwise it will be easy for the Seven Stars' people to detect our presence."

"Wanbian Die, release the You'an Die Wang to mask the aura on our bodies."

This is the correct way to use the You'an Die Wang; the black airflow on its body can shield everyone's aura.

At this moment, Shui Yaori suddenly raised a question: "Leader, the Twenty-Eight Mansions who were responsible for ambushing me earlier had a Pet Beast in their hands that was skilled in Space Transfer."

"If he uses this Pet Beast to approach us, wouldn't they discover that we are laying out the Star Realm Summoning Array?"

"I heard that Youji is on the way; if our good work is ruined by Youji, wouldn't we return in disgrace?"

Jin Yaori sneered: "You must have forgotten the abilities of the Sun God and the Moon God."

"The two of them possess space talents; as soon as they enter the range of the Star Realm array, they will be immediately summoned to us and suffer our siege."

"Are the Twenty-Eight Mansions really that formidable?"

"Even if Youji rushes over, he won't be able to stop us."

"He will only be able to watch helplessly as we beat the Twenty-Eight Mansions to death alive."

The Clone of Jin Yaori has an extremely irritable personality.

But what he does not know is that Ye Bai is already not far from them.

The Tuntian Tihu masked the spatial fluctuations.

The You'an Die Wang shielded the aura.

Even if the Sun God and the Moon God joined forces, they did not detect that Ye Bai had secretly snuck in here.

The Clone separated from the Paper Puppet is currently lying on Ye Bai's shoulder.

"Get ready, the Nine Stars Alignment is about to begin."

"The Sun God and Moon God are about to draw the array."

The Sun God and the Moon God threw out Star Image Orbs from their hands.

These deep blue orbs, only the size of a palm, emitted a blinding, intense light.

They were embedded into the ground one by one in sequence.

Immediately following, countless deep blue rays of light extended from the Star Image Orbs, outlining arrays on the ground.

Currently, the Seven Stars are located underground.

But the Paper Puppet is very certain that the Seven Stars will use some special means to channel starlight into the array.

"The Nine Stars Alignment will release an indescribably massive amount of energy, and this energy is the key to opening the Star Realm Gate."

The Paper Puppet said with a certain expression.

"I actually have a question: does the power of the Nine Stars Alignment represent star power?"

Ye Bai's eyes suddenly rolled.

Among the Clones of the Wanbian Die is the Xinglan Die Wang.

Its advancement conditions have always been a question mark; Ye Bai now really wants to try whether the star power brought by the Nine Stars Alignment can evolve the Xinglan Die Wang into the Xinglan Die Huang.

If it is possible, the evolution of the Wanbian Die will have taken another important step forward.

As for whether the Xinglan Die Wang can withstand the massive star power, isn't there the Wanbian Die?

As long as the Wanbian Die does not die, it possesses an endless stream of Clones.

It is enough to let the Xinglan Die Wang evolve into the Xinglan Die Huang.

However, during this process, one must absolutely not let the Seven Stars discover any clues.

At this time, Ye Bai said mysteriously to the Wanbian Die: "Wanbian Die, do you want to evolve?"

"If you do, I have a plan here, and I hope you can execute it according to my plan."

"Once successful, we will receive rich rewards."

Wanbian Die??? Several question marks appeared above its head.

After hearing Ye Bai's plan, it made an expression that said, "You really are the most beastly."

Wealth is sought in danger; I, Wanbian Die, will do it.

At this moment, the Wanbian Die, looking at the Sun God and the Moon God working hard to draw the Star Realm array, looked as if it were seeing a piece of prime fatty meat.

What they are drawing is not the notorious Star Realm array at all; it is clearly a giant power bank.

Hurry up, hurry up.

You people, you didn't eat your fill, did you?

If possible, the Wanbian Die even wanted to take out a small whip and fiercely Bianda these lazy goods.

The bodies of the Sun God and the Moon God were tottering.

They held on with their last bit of strength and took out nine white orbs.

These nine white orbs represent the Nine Stars and are treasures specially crafted by the Sun God and the Moon God to deal with the Nine Stars Alignment.

They used all the rare treasures they had painstakingly collected.

After finishing all this, the figures of the Sun God and the Moon God appeared in the center of the Star Realm array.

At this time, Shui Yaori, Mu Yaori, Huo Yaori, Jin Yaori, and Tu Yaori all used the Four Symbols Great Array according to different positions.

Mu Yaori is located in the east, belonging to the wood-phase Azure Dragon; thick wood-elemental essence gathered, activating the Azure Dragon array.

Jin Yaori is located in the west, belonging to the metal-phase White Tiger; thick metal-elemental essence gathered, summoning the roaring White Tiger.

Huo Yaori is located in the south, its whole body burning with raging flames; the Fire Vermilion Bird was born from the fire.

Shui Yaori is located in the north; a huge tortoise and snake appeared in mid-air, gathering thick water-elemental essence.

The Earth Day star is located in the center, representing the Emperor's Heaven and the Queen's Earth, condensing the Earth Type Qilin Dharma Image.

Ye Bai clicked his tongue in amazement.

These Seven Stars actually concealed another type of array—the Five Elements Array.

The two arrays converged together for the purpose of drawing in the starlight from the sky.

The Five Elements Array gathered together, opening a spatial passage.

Countless starlight scattered from the spatial passage, falling into the Star Realm Summoning Array.

Under the deep and mysterious night sky, the Star Realm Summoning Array slowly activated, emitting a soft and profound blue light.

The array appeared as a giant disc, with a complex starry sky pattern embedded in the center, as if it were condensed from countless tiny stars.

Nine white spheres like bright pearls hovered in the air, connected by fine blue lines like bridges between stars, making the array even more complete.

Around the array, golden totems flickered in and out of existence, adding a touch of solemnity and mystery.

Just at this moment, the Paper Doll Puppet suddenly revealed a trace of certainty in its eyes.

"The time for the Nine Stars Alignment is almost here; the Star Realm Gate is about to open."

In the next second, the Nine Stars aligned into a straight line.

Blinding, intense light surged toward the Star Realm array in waves, like pulses.

The intense light began to fill the empty spaces of the array, and a half-hidden Starry Sky Gate rose from the ground.

The entire Starry Sky Gate stood several hundred meters tall.

The doors were tightly shut, and streams of starlight emerged from the Star Realm Gate.

In the boundless Star Realm.

This place is a dead, silent expanse, known as the wrath of the gods.

After gods fail to break through to become demigods, they transform into Divine Evils, wandering within the Star Realm.

They devour Divine Evils and devour godhood to grow.

Once they are lucky enough to kill a god traveling through the Star Realm, even if it is only a weak divine power that has just ignited the divine fire, it can allow a Divine Evil to live another life and reignite the divine fire.

At this moment, a group of Divine Evils, like hyenas with a keen sense of smell, gathered in front of an illusory Starry Sky Gate.

To accelerate the formation of the Starry Sky Gate, these Divine Evils even attempted to inject their own energy into the Starry Sky Gate.

At this time, the Clone of the Myriad Change Butterfly transformed into the Gloom Butterfly King.

It used the special talent of the Gloom Butterfly King to mask its own aura.

Once it arrived not far from the Nine Stars Alignment, it hid its body and, with the help of the starlight from the Nine Stars, transformed into the Star Wave Butterfly King.

However, the body of the Star Wave Butterfly King was submerged by the intense light.

And because the Sun God and the Moon God were too exhausted from drawing the Star Realm array, they lost their sense of the Star Wave Butterfly King.

Just at this moment, the Starry Sky Gate accelerated its condensation and formation.

"Not good, the Divine Evils on the other side of the Starry Sky Gate can no longer restrain themselves; they are urging their divine power, attempting to open the Star Realm Gate."

Suddenly, the starry sky pattern in the center of the array erupted with dazzling light, followed by a low and shocking roar that resounded in the night sky, as if it were a call from the depths of the universe.

The doors of the Starry Sky Gate were forcibly smashed open.

Amidst this light and roar, a pair of illusory, giant hands broke through the air from the Starry Sky Gate!

These giant hands had rough and tough skin, were a thousand zhang in size, and radiated an aura of ancient and powerful strength.

Once the giant hands appeared, they immediately triggered violent fluctuations in the surrounding air, forming a powerful air current that blew everything around until it was on the verge of collapse.

This is the arm of a Divine Evil; it is about to descend.
