Chapter 689: Huanxin Butterfly

Whoosh—

Just as Lu Yunqing was about to fall to the ground, a Golden Light suddenly flashed beneath her.

It reached out and caught her.

Wang Jianqiang landed on the ground and set down Lu Yunqing, whose consciousness had fallen into an illusion and who was now unconscious.

After pondering for a moment, he pointed a finger at the center of Lu Yunqing's brows.

A wisp of Soul Power entered her body.

If he wanted to wake Lu Yunqing up, it would not be difficult.

But he did not intend to wake Lu Yunqing up right now.

Channeling Soul Power to her was also not meant to help her break free from the illusion.

Rather, it was to protect her Soul Origin so that she would not suffer damage to her Soul Origin from being trapped in the illusion for too long.

Besides this, there was another effect.

That was to deepen her slumber, preventing her from waking up in the short term and seeing things she shouldn't.

After finishing the preparatory work.

Wang Jianqiang looked at the Huanxin Butterfly in the Array, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This Huanxin Butterfly...

It is not simple!

He could feel that after devouring the Purple Luo Flower.

The aura of this Huanxin Butterfly was rapidly growing stronger.

Even now, this trend of strengthening had not yet slowed down.

"Are you trying to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in one go?"

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

He watched the Huanxin Butterfly in the Array silently, without making the slightest move.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a day passed.

The medicinal power of the Purple Luo Flower within the Huanxin Butterfly was refined away at an astonishing speed.

And the aura of the Huanxin Butterfly had already exceeded a certain limit.

Colorful power flowed out from its body like running water, transforming into a colorful cocoon of light that enveloped it.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

He had no intention of interrupting it.

He sat cross-legged on the spot, took out some Soul Jade, and practiced silently.

When breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage, a Heavenly Tribulation will descend.

The fluctuations of a Heavenly Tribulation are too strong; even if it is just a Nascent Soul Tribulation, it is very difficult to conceal.

He had previously been troubled by how to transcend the Tribulation quietly.

Now that he had entered this Beast Realm, it had solved this difficult problem for him.

He had long since prepared to form his Nascent Soul and transcend the Nascent Soul Tribulation within this Beast Realm.

The reason he had agreed to Lu Yunqing so readily back then was also out of this intention.

Now that Lu Yunqing was unconscious and the Huanxin Butterfly was in the midst of transformation.

He might as well take the opportunity to practice.

Anyway, with his own power protecting her, Lu Yunqing would not meet with any accidents.

She would just be sleeping a little longer.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Wang Jianqiang slowly opened his eyes.

Just a moment ago, his Soul Power had already been cultivated to thirty times its original strength.

As expected.

After reaching thirty times the Soul Power, he touched his own limit.

His Soul Power could no longer continue to increase.

"Next, let's see if the method I envisioned can be realized."

His mind stirred.

A book-shaped pattern formed by Spirit Light appeared within his pupils.

"Merge—"

He gave a low shout, and the book pattern in his eyes shattered instantly.

A strange power surged into his body, spreading to every part of him.

The next moment.

His figure blurred for a moment, and two figures walked out from his body, standing on his left and right sides respectively.

The two figures looked almost exactly like Wang Jianqiang.

Only one was very young, in the appearance of a youth.

One was older, in the appearance of a middle-aged man.

"Is this the Three Lives Body?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at the figures on his sides, a look of wonder flashing across his face.

As soon as he obtained the Heaven-Stealing Record Supernatural Ability, he had stolen Mu Lingxi's Three Lives Body Supernatural Ability.

It is just that, until now, it had never been used.

This is the first time it has been unleashed.

His heart stirred.

The figures on the left and right sides approached his true body, overlapped with it, and vanished.

He did not retract the Heaven-Stealing Record Supernatural Ability, but instead, like Mu Lingxi, withdrew his past self and future self into his true body.

After he withdrew his past self and future self, he immediately sensed that his Soul Power, which had previously been at its limit,

once again had room for improvement.

"It really works!"

A surge of joy rose in his heart.

He took out the Soul Jade and continued to cultivate.

Time passed in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

Three months had already passed since the opening of the Beast Realm.

His Soul Power had increased once more, reaching thirty-one times its original level.

And it still had not reached its limit.

On this day.

Wang Jianqiang was absorbing the power within the Soul Jade.

Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of shattering.

He immediately exited his meditative state, put away the half-absorbed Soul Jade in his hand, and looked into the Array.

Inside the Array.

That colorful cocoon of light was, at some unknown point, covered in a large number of fine cracks.

Furthermore.

Those cracks were continuing to spread.

At a certain moment.

The colorful cocoon of light seemed to have finally reached its limit, suddenly shattering into a sky full of light spots.

Before those sky-filling light spots could disperse and vanish.

A suction force suddenly appeared from the center of the colorful light spots, and the countless colorful light spots rapidly converged toward the center.

In the blink of an eye.

A human figure appeared.

It was a young girl.

She seemed to have walked out of a dream, breathtakingly beautiful.

A head of colorful long hair hung down, her skin like jade, unstained by dust.

Her beautiful eyes were a brilliant, colorful hue.

At a single glance, it seemed to possess a strange power of attraction.

It made one feel as if their Soul were about to sink into them, unable to resist a sense of falling into an abyss.

In front of her, a colorful butterfly less than a palm in size floated.

After the last piece of colorful light merged into the butterfly's body, the butterfly turned into a streak of colorful light and merged into the woman's body.

An aura belonging exclusively to a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator immediately spread out from the woman.

"Has it successfully condensed a Demon Nascent Soul?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at the colorful-haired woman in the Array, a flash of amazement in his eyes.

Normally speaking.

Demonic beasts can only shed their demonic bodies and take on human form upon reaching the Spirit Transformation Stage.

That this Huanxin butterfly could do so while still at the Nascent Soul Stage is truly peculiar.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was staring at the colorful-haired woman, examining her.

A colorful radiance suddenly surged from the colorful-haired woman, the radiance continuously solidifying and turning into a colorful dress that draped over her body.

Afterward, she extended her slender jade fingers.

She pointed at the light screen.

A condensed streak of colorful light broke through the air and landed on the light screen.

Cracks immediately appeared on the Array light screen, which could even trap a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

Colorful light shone once again at the woman's fingertips, and a highly condensed finger-strike broke through the air once more.

It landed precisely on the spot hit by the previous strike.

Crack~

The Array light screen could no longer hold.

It shattered with a boom.

Whoosh!

The moment the Array shattered.

The woman transformed into a streak of light and shot out.

In the blink of an eye, she appeared before Wang Jianqiang.

There was not the slightest expression on her beautiful face.

Her palm reached out, her five fingers curled into a claw, and colorful light swirled at her fingertips, transforming into five sharp claws.

Just at the moment her palm was about to grab Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang was unhurried, his palm suddenly reaching out.

It precisely grabbed her slender wrist.

The immense force caused her forward-rushing figure to come to a sudden halt.

Her colorful eyes stared straight at Wang Jianqiang, a flash of bewilderment crossing them.

She did not understand why a mere Qi Refining First Layer cultivator could erupt with such powerful strength!

Just at this moment.

She suddenly saw the human before her smile.

Immediately following.

A sense of weightlessness washed over her.

Wang Jianqiang held the wrist of Huanxin, swung his arm in a full arc, and fiercely smashed her onto the ground.

The earth shattered.

Huanxin spat out a mouthful of blood, and the aura on her body plummeted sharply.

As a colorful light flashed over her, she transformed back into the body of a butterfly.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

He understood somewhat.

Huanxin did not seem to have completely transformed into human form; otherwise, even if she suffered heavy injuries, she would not have been beaten back to her original form.

Because once transformed.

The human form...

Is also the original form.

This Huanxin was just somewhat special, having gained the ability to temporarily transform after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and his gaze had already fallen upon Huanxin.

"Your Nascent Soul Tribulation will arrive soon; submit to me now, and I can help you recover from your injuries."

"Otherwise, even if I do not kill you, you will surely have your soul scattered during the Nascent Soul Tribulation."

Saying this, a gentle smile appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, "You have only just successfully formed your Nascent Soul and have a bright future ahead; you surely don't want to die young, do you?"

Facing Wang Jianqiang's gentle gaze.

Huanxin could not help but think of that heavy slam just now, and her body trembled.

If not for her strong Bloodline Power and her tough physical body.

She would likely have been smashed into meat paste by now.

A look of fear flashed in her colorful eyes.

After weighing the options, she nodded.

Wang Jianqiang smiled upon seeing this.

"System, upgrade the Basic Beast Taming Art to the Consummation level."

As his thoughts stirred.

In his mind, the system prompt immediately rang out.

"Ding, consumed twenty Cultivation Points, Basic Beast Taming Art has been upgraded to the Consummation realm."

Although the Basic Beast Taming Art was an extremely simplified and castrated version of the Beast Taming Art, having lost the various supporting Techniques within the Beast Taming Art.

But what Wang Jianqiang needed right now was only the method to control spirit beasts, not those supporting Techniques.

After cultivating the Basic Beast Taming Art to the Consummation realm, the method to control spirit beasts naturally appeared in his mind.

The beast taming method recorded in the Basic Beast Taming Technique was quite crude.

Even when cultivated to the Consummation realm, theoretically, it could only barely control spirit beasts at the Nascent Soul Stage level.

However, it was enough for the time being.

He looked at Huanxin and used the Beast Taming Technique from the Basic Beast Taming Art to leave a mark within Huanxin's body.

The next moment.

A mysterious connection appeared between him and Huanxin.

Through this connection, he could not only control Huanxin's life and death but also instantly transmit commands to Huanxin.

At the same time, he could roughly sense Huanxin's thoughts.

However, because it was only the Basic Beast Taming Art, its power was limited.

This made the connection extremely vague.

"Master~"

Just at this moment, a timid voice sounded in Wang Jianqiang's mind.

He came back to his senses and looked at Huanxin.

Sensing Wang Jianqiang's gaze, Huanxin's body trembled, and the look of fear in her eyes grew even more intense.

Wang Jianqiang smiled at this and casually took out a bottle of Fourth-tier Perfect Healing Pill, "Your Heavenly Tribulation is approaching; hurry up and heal your injuries."

Hearing this, the fear in Huanxin's eyes immediately turned into joy.

"Thank you, Master."

She thanked Wang Jianqiang, her wings fluttering.

They condensed into a palm, taking the Jade Bottle from Wang Jianqiang's hand.

Afterward, she took out a Pill and swallowed it.

Her speed in refining the Pill was just as astonishing as when she refined the Purple Luo Flower earlier.

A Pill that would take an ordinary person at least an hour to refine is refined by her in merely a moment.

It took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

After refining several Pills in succession, its injuries were completely healed.

A flash of surprise appeared in Wang Jianqiang's eyes.

Immediately after, he could not help but feel a bit excited.

He had plenty of these Pill things.

Relying on this astonishing refining speed of the Huanxin, its future cultivation improvement speed would surely reach a remarkably impressive level.

"Master, I am about to draw down the Heavenly Tribulation."

Just at this moment, a crisp and pleasant voice reached Wang Jianqiang's mind.

"Wait a moment first."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head.

"Yes, Master."

A flash of confusion appeared in the Huanxin's eyes, but it did not dare to ask.

Wang Jianqiang took out a Pill Furnace and some Medicinal Herbs.

He began to refine them skillfully.

Not long after.

With a hook of his finger, a Pill flew out from the Pill Furnace.

He put away the Pill Furnace, flicked his finger, and sent the Pill before the Huanxin.

"Don't you still have a few of the Healing Pills I gave you before?"

"After transcending the sixth Tribulation Lightning, swallow one Healing Pill to recover your injuries."

"After transcending the eighth Tribulation Lightning, immediately swallow this Pill mixed with one Healing Pill and refine them together."

The Pill he had just refined was precisely a Lightning Avoidance Pill capable of temporarily breaking free from the Heavenly Tribulation's lock.

He was not sure to what extent the Huanxin's intelligence had reached.

He did not set up any complex strategies.

He simply applied the experience from when Mu Lingxi, Wang Yuyao, and the other women transcended their Tribulations.

"Yes, Master."

The Huanxin responded, a roll of colorful light appeared, and the Lightning Avoidance Pill before it suddenly vanished.

Many demonic beasts can open up storage space within their bodies.

The Huanxin also possessed this ability.

Afterwards, Wang Jianqiang did not continue to linger.

He picked up the unconscious Lu Yunqing, transformed into a streak of rainbow light, and flew toward the distance.

After Wang Jianqiang moved far away.

Colorful power erupted from the Huanxin's body, transforming into a pillar of light that surged into the sky.

Under the guidance of its Qi, streaks of Tribulation Cloud began to gather in the sky.

A pressure unique to the Heavenly Tribulation instantly permeated this world.

As the thick Tribulation Clouds continuously gathered, this area of the world rapidly became dim.

The Heavenly Tribulation pressure instantly permeated every corner of this world.

Outside the Tribulation Cloud area.

Wang Jianqiang placed Lu Yunqing on the ground and looked at the astonishing scale of the Tribulation Clouds.

His expression was filled with surprise.

The scale of the Heavenly Tribulation drawn by this Huanxin was actually almost comparable to that of Mu Lingxi and Tushan Youyou back then!

One must know, Tushan Youyou possessed the legendary Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline, which was enough to rival the true dragon bloodline.

Although the Huanxin's bloodline was strong, it was far inferior compared to the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and true dragon bloodlines; it should not have been able to reach such potential.

In the current situation, there was only one explanation.

That was that this Huanxin's bloodline had mutated and become more powerful.

Thinking of this.

A smile could not help but appear on his face.

The stronger the Huanxin's bloodline, the higher its potential.

The greater its future achievements would be.

Now that this Huanxin had become his spirit beast, he naturally hoped that the Huanxin's Bloodline Power would be as strong as possible.

Boom—

Just at this moment, a rumbling sound startled Wang Jianqiang from his thoughts.

He composed his mind, activated his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, and looked toward the center of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Beneath the thick Tribulation Clouds.

The Huanxin had once again transformed into the appearance of a colorful-haired girl.

The colorful-haired girl stood in mid-air, looking up at the sky.

And at this moment.

The Heavenly Tribulation had finished brewing.
