Chapter 514: A Breakthrough Caused by a Fart

After engaging in close-quarters combat with the Ghost Bride, Ye Canghai discovered that her pair of Lijua were extremely hard.

Even a Soul Weapon like the Broken Army Spear was blocked by the Ghost Bride.

"Hmph, did you think the Ghost Bride was ordinary, that I would refine her into an Eight-Tier zombie?"

The figure of Guan Tiandi emerged from behind Ye Canghai.

He held a smoke gun in his hand, and he slowly puffed out a cloud of blue smoke from his mouth.

It instantly transformed into countless bullets, flying toward Ye Canghai.

Clang, clang, clang.

Ye Canghai brandished his body, leaving no gap for them to pass through.

The bullets formed from the thick smoke were intercepted directly by Ye Canghai.

"You've got some skills. Your weapon is actually able to resist my Eight-Tier Dharma treasure, the Jin Yu Smoke Gun?"

Guan Tiandi said with a smile.

"Mao Shiba always relied on his Seven-Tier Peak strength to put on airs in front of me, little did he know I had long since broken through to the Eighth Tier, watching his jokes from the shadows all along."

"Corpse City was established together with him; what right did he have to be the Supreme Emperor of Corpse City?"

Guan Tiandi said with an angry expression.

"Now it's fine, he's dead, and Corpse City has been destroyed by you lot."

Ye Canghai was somewhat speechless: "The destruction of Corpse City doesn't have much to do with me."

"Corpse City was destroyed after Mao Shiba activated it."

Guan Tiandi roared loudly: "You still dare to quibble? If it weren't for you, how could Mao Shiba have been in such a rush to break through?"

"You broke through before Mao Shiba, shaking his soul and making him feel that he had no hope of breaking through, which is why he detonated Corpse City."

"When all is said and done, it is all your fault."

"Hmph!"

Ye Canghai felt that one could never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"Enough nonsense, let's see what you're really made of."

Ye Canghai did not intend to be polite with Guan Tiandi. Judging from the situation in the Wanghou Tomb, Guan Tiandi should have long since colluded with the Zombie King, and had sent many people into the Wanghou Tomb, turning their blood into rivers that patrolled the mountains and rivers.

"It seems Mao Shiba still took the blame for you for quite a lot. The people who went missing in Zhong Nan Shi, that was your doing, right?"

"Only you people from the Coffin Shop are proficient in arrays; you set up a Maze Array so those people couldn't escape."

Ye Canghai had heard from Ye Bai that the number of missing people in Zhong Nan Shi had reached over ten thousand, which was a terrifying figure.

"Yes, so what? I helped them find liberation, letting their souls become undying and indestructible."

"They are just suffering a bit of pain, that's all."

Ye Canghai directly parried the Ghost Bride's Lijua with his spear, sat on the Thunder White Tiger, and ran straight out.

Now was not the time to be entangled with Guan Tiandi; he had to immediately find the location of the Sun Moon Divine Pearl.

【1. The Sun Moon Divine Pearl is sealed by the Zombie King at the third tree node inside the Tongtian Shenshu. One needs to go up from the coffin left by the Zombie King inside the divine tree to find the location of the Sun Moon Divine Pearl.】

【2. Inside the Tongtian Shenshu, there is Tongtian Shenshu Liquid that can raise the Sun Flower Fairy to the Eighth Tier; this is condensed from the purest wood-type origin.】

【3. Guan Tiandi's strength has broken through to the Eighth Tier, and he has a Ghost Bride that can never be killed. The weakness of that Ghost Bride lies in the five nails binding her. In fact, there is one more nail stuck deep into her heart. Only by pulling out that nail can the other nails be removed. One needs to use Yin Spring water to pour over her heart area to pull out that nail.】

【4. In the Wanghou Tomb, there are countless Yin Soldiers. As long as you stick a Yin Sha Talisman on yourself, you will not activate the Yin Soldiers. If you encounter the Yin Soldiers passing through the array, find a place to hide immediately.】

【5. Back then, in order to sever all the dragon veins in the world, the Wanghou gathered thirty-six Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes to set up the Zhoutian Xingdou Tiangang Array. As long as the Tiangang Array is not broken, the dragon veins will remain sealed underground, maintaining the Zombie King's rule.】

It seems that to eliminate the Zombie King, one must first break the Zhoutian Xingdou Tiangang Array.

This time, I can actually let my Bronze Ancient Sword break through to the Eighth Tier. By absorbing the thirty-six Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes entangled with dragon Qi, plus a large amount of dragon Qi, I am confident in letting the Candle Dragon Spirit evolve into the Ancestral Dragon Spirit.

With this, Ye Bai's two Pet Beasts will be able to break through to the Eighth Tier simultaneously.

"Dad, how is the situation on your end?"

"I just ran into Zha Xin of the Paper Maker Lineage."

Ye Canghai was being chased by the Ghost Bride and Guan Tiandi: "I ran into Guan Tiandi here, along with the Ghost Bride he painstakingly refined. They are currently chasing me relentlessly."

Ye Canghai also felt like there was a tag-along behind him, which made Ye Canghai miserable.

"Hmph, have the Sun Flower Fairy use Holy Light, and let's meet at the Tongtian Shenshu."

"Try to focus on escaping. I have intelligence on Guan Tiandi here; the Ghost Bride in his hand is undying and indestructible."

"She can absorb the Yin Sha Qi in the Wanghou Tomb to heal herself."

"At a critical moment, you can use the mirror Lan Fa gave you. If you shine it directly at the mirror for more than thirty seconds, you can replicate a Clone of yourself."

"This Clone can only last for thirty minutes. If it is attacked, the duration will end early."

Ye Canghai understood. He and the Thunder White Tiger both closed their eyes and had the Sun Flower Fairy use Holy Light.

As the scorching light emerged, two streams of black blood flowed from the Ghost Bride's eyes.

And black smoke also began to rise from Guan Tiandi's body.

"Strange, how could this Ye Canghai have a light-attribute Pet Beast on him?"

"He has been in Corpse City for so long; if he had a light-attribute Exotic Beast, I should have discovered it long ago. Strange?"

Guan Tiandi beckoned, and streams of black Qi shrouded his body, thereby avoiding the attack from the light-attribute skill.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Canghai took out the mirror given by Lan Fa, created a Clone, and fled.

Ye Canghai really did not want to spend too much time on Guan Tiandi.

Even if he won, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and it would delay his time in searching for the Sun Moon Divine Pearl, which would be more trouble than it's worth.

At this moment, Ye Bai walked into a tomb passage.

Inside, there was a pair of statues of a young boy and girl.

But the moment Ye Bai looked at them, they actually blinked.

Insects emerged one by one from their eyes, forming a tide that lunged toward Ye Bai.

"Hmph, Nether Hell Wolves."

How could Ye Bai possibly be scared off by these little bugs?

Pitch-black flames instantly erupted, directly igniting these little bugs.

A charred, foul stench rose up, but Ye Bai summoned the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

Ugh, what a stinky smell.

As soon as the Myriad-Change Butterfly appeared, it wore an expression of disgust.

"You know it stinks, yet you don't hurry to cast Holy Light Protection; you clearly don't have me in your heart."

Ye Bai loudly accused the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly was scolded until it lowered its head.

It was repenting, wondering if it had truly done something wrong.

"Sigh, hurry up."

Ye Bai would not give the Myriad-Change Butterfly a chance to think.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat something good later."

Upon hearing about eating, the Myriad-Change Butterfly's eyes went straight.

Going to eat, yay!

The Myriad-Change Butterfly suddenly had much more motivation.

It flapped its wings and shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Holy Light enveloped the Myriad-Change Butterfly like a large film, isolating the murky air.

"The entire Wanghou Tomb is really huge."

Ye Bai sighed, wondering where the Tongtian Shenshu would be placed.

The divine tree was a fragment of the Tongtian Shenshu that the emperor specifically sought out to ascend to immortality, cultivated into its current state.

The Zombie King also specifically gathered Tongtian Shenshu Liquid inside the Tongtian Shenshu.

This stuff could replenish the energy the Zombie King lost while transcending the lightning tribulation.

Just as Ye Bai was about to pass through the corridor, he suddenly discovered a giant hammer appearing before his eyes.

The surrounding corridor narrowed with a boom.

This was an attempt to trap and kill Ye Bai right here.

"Dahui, Thunder God Axe."

Dahui, clad in a layer of Thunder God Armor, brandished the Thunder God Axe and split the giant hammer in two.

In the corridor, many black skulls suddenly appeared.

These skulls bared their fangs and brandished their claws, wanting to drag Ye Bai into the corridor to become one of them.

"Hoo, Holy Light Shine."

The Myriad-Change Butterfly directly unleashed Holy Light Shine.

The blinding, intense light directly pierced through the darkness in the corridor.

A large number of black skulls dissipated one after another upon contact with the intense light.

A large number of wronged souls were liberated from the black skulls.

From the tools held in their hands, it could be seen that these black skulls were likely the craftsmen who built this place.

"May you all find peace."

Ye Bai pressed his palms together and bowed.

The moment he emerged from the corridor, Ye Bai heard a burst of dragon roars and tiger howls.

A large number of strangely shaped zombies were wandering aimlessly ahead.

At this moment, a figure squeezed out from the body of the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

It charged directly into the zombie horde and began indiscriminately absorbing corpse Qi.

【Name: Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly】

【Gender: Agender】

【Attribute: Dark/Undead】

【Personality: Laid-back】

【Level: Seven-Tier Peak】

【Skills: Acid Rain (Proficient): Summons corrosive acid rain; if the opponent has wounds, it accelerates the corrosion of the acid rain, turning them into white bones.

Highly Toxic Tentacles (Proficient): The tentacles are highly toxic; touching an opponent will cause them to rapidly enter a poisoned state, with a certain probability of adding burning attacks.

Blood Sucking (Proficient): Through sharp mouthparts, it pierces the prey's neck to drain blood, which can restore their stamina and heal wounds, while injecting corpse Qi into the prey to transform them into puppets under its control.

Undead Infection (Proficient): The corpse Qi carried on its body will instantly spread and diffuse to the surroundings; infected people or Exotic Beasts will turn into rotting corpses carrying corpse Qi after death. The rotting corpses are covered in Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and when approaching an opponent, they will tightly hug the opponent and explode.

Storm Blade (Proficient): Uses wind blades as sharp as daggers to attack the prey's throat, causing wounds that bleed incessantly.

Ripping Tentacles (Proficient): Raises sharp tentacles to attack the opponent; the claws contain a toxin that can prevent wounds from healing, with a certain probability of entering a poisoned state.】

Ultrasonic Wave (Proficient): Emits piercing ultrasonic waves to attack the opponent, causing the opponent to fall into a state of confusion.】

【Evolution Route 1: None yet】

【Evaluation: The Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly, evolved after devouring the Heart Core of the Flame Ghost King and the essence blood of the Mandala Golden Corpse, is the nemesis of the undead. It possesses the ability to transform prey into undead, and at the same time, it can devour corpse Qi to grow crazily.】

A large number of zombies that came into contact with the Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly vanished into thin air in an instant.

This place was simply a paradise for the Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly looked with envy at the terrifying aura erupting from the Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly.

It discovered with surprise that the aura of that Clone had actually broken through?

How is this possible? I am still at Seven-Tier Peak, and you, damn it, are already at the Eighth Tier?

Are you trying to usurp the master's role?

Seeing the Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly break through, Ye Bai was also speechless.

He looked toward the Myriad-Changing Butterfly: "Your Clone has already broken through to the Eighth Tier, yet you still haven't broken through?"

Are you still not seizing the time to work hard, or do you intend to continue fishing for three days and drying nets for two?

If you go on like this, let alone your Clone, even the Pet Beasts I sign later will surpass you.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly lowered its head even further; it truly felt very ashamed.

But it was not that it wasn't working hard; it was that the conditions for its evolution were somewhat harsh.

At this moment, Ye Bai shook his head: "Myriad-Changing Butterfly, I am talking about breaking through to the Eighth Tier, not your evolution."

"These are two different concepts; you need to distinguish them clearly."

If the Myriad-Changing Butterfly does not break through, even if Ye Bai's other phantom beasts break through, the power of the contract will constrain their strength, making them afraid to fight with full force.

Otherwise, the backlash brought about by those contract powers would cause Ye Bai a great deal of trouble.

"The Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly has already broken through, which proves that you are not far from a true breakthrough yourself."

"Come, close your eyes and meditate; you must concentrate fully to break through your limits."

"You need to push, push, and push even harder."

Pfft—in such a serious scene, the Myriad-Changing Butterfly pushed out a fart with effort.

It smiled embarrassedly, and Ye Bai was almost made to laugh by this fart.

"Fine, Myriad-Changing Butterfly, so this is how you treat me, is it?"

"I provide you with good food and drink to help you grow, and you repay me by letting out a fart."

Ye Bai was practically about to explode with anger.

Looking at Ye Bai, who was walking toward it step by step like a demon god.

A large amount of sweat appeared on the Myriad-Changing Butterfly's face.

"Are you very hot?"

"It's right that you're hot."

"Because the fire of Hell is burning on you."

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly's backside was being roasted by the fire of Hell, and with a miserable howl of "Ooooo," it flew into the air.

At this moment, the Myriad-Changing Butterfly suddenly felt it couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Can't hold it in, really can't hold it in anymore."

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly popped out another fart directly.

Under the enhancement of the fire of Hell, the power of this fart was unusually fierce.

Only a loud "Bang!" was heard, and all the zombies below were reduced to ashes.

Even the Zhoutian Xingdou Tiangang Array below offered a symbolic resistance before being torn into two halves.

At this moment, the Myriad-Changing Butterfly attained enlightenment; it truly attained enlightenment.

It was like a god or Buddha, with a jade-like radiance emanating from its body.

Just at this moment, Ye Bai suddenly felt a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering mental power storm appear in his mind.

It seems the Myriad-Changing Butterfly is about to break through to the Eighth Tier very soon.

What do you call this? No pressure, no motivation.

A breakthrough caused by a fart.

It is a pity for that Red Lotus Corpse Butterfly Clone; under the full-force attack of the Myriad-Changing Butterfly, it was completely wiped out.

It was blasted to pieces by the fire of Hell and dissipated into the air.

Friendly fire, this was definitely friendly fire.
