Chapter 3849: Bronze Secret Key; opening the palace; Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies

"This... how is this possible? You actually have..."

The old Source Heavenly Master simply couldn't believe his eyes.

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Sang Yu took off the bronze secret key hanging around her neck.

This bronze secret key was given to her by Granny Lotus of the Lotus Temple.

She said this object was discovered beside the immortal source that sealed Sang Yu.

Granny Lotus studied it for a long time and felt it might be related to the inheritance of the Heavenly Master lineage.

Later, after Sang Yu followed Jun Xiaoyao, she also handed this object to her.

Sang Yu had also been wearing it around her neck.

She hadn't expected it to actually play a role now.

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze also glanced at the bronze secret key.

He understood in his heart.

Sang Yu was indeed destined to obtain the inheritance of the Heavenly Master lineage.

The old Source Heavenly Master was not stupid, and his gaze looked at Sang Yu with deep meaning.

He only now understood that this young girl was very unusual and likely had a great cause and effect with the Heavenly Master Dao.

As expected of someone following Jun Xiaoyao; there really were no ordinary people.

"Young Master..."

Sang Yu's gaze also looked toward Jun Xiaoyao, whether to open it or not, she would follow Jun Xiaoyao's orders.

"Since we are here, if we don't uncover this final mystery, it would be a pity," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Sang Yu nodded slightly and walked toward the bronze palace.

Seeing that even Jun Xiaoyao said so, the old Source Heavenly Master also sighed lightly and said no more.

Everyone's gaze gathered on Sang Yu.

Sang Yu also used the Source Heaven Book and other means to solve the restrictions on the periphery of the bronze palace.

Sure enough, on the main gate of the bronze palace, there was a keyhole within it.

Sang Yu took the bronze secret key and inserted it into the keyhole.

Accompanied by a crisp click.

The entire bronze palace rumbled open.

An aura sealed for ten thousand years spread out.

Everyone's gaze looked at the pitch-black main entrance of the bronze palace.

They inexplicably felt a chill in their hearts.

However, having reached this point, they were naturally unwilling to retreat.

Everyone began to enter the bronze palace.

Jun Xiaoyao and his group were no exception.

And after they entered the bronze palace.

They discovered that the entire bronze palace was also covered with those extremely eerie red fungal threads.

Like ancient vines, covering the space inside the palace.

The entire bronze palace was not a self-contained space world, and the range was not too wide.

But the more so, the more it made people alert.

After everyone penetrated deeper.

They discovered that on the dome of the palace,

there were surprisingly hanging things like blood-colored pupae.

"What is that?"

Some cultivators saw those things and revealed looks of surprise.

They had originally thought that after entering the bronze palace, they would see many rare treasures.

They hadn't expected such an eerie situation.

And those blood-colored pupae seemed to sense the aura of living creatures arriving at this place.

Their surfaces suddenly began to squirm, as if something was about to break out of the pupa.

"Careful!"

All the cultivators raised their spirits.

One of the blood-colored pupae tore open.

From within, surprisingly appeared a blood-colored butterfly, its wings wide, with scarlet eyes on them.

"Not good, it's the Soul-Eroding Blood Butterfly!"

The old Source Heavenly Master saw this and shouted loudly.

"Soul-Eroding Blood Butterfly?"

Many people didn't know, but those who did had their faces turn somewhat pale instantly.

This Soul-Eroding Blood Butterfly possessed a very eerie soul talent, capable of gnawing on souls and absorbing Primordial Spirits.

Most importantly, they had special rules within their bodies.

They had extremely strong immunity to many law-based powers and physical attacks.

And how many cultivators present specialized in the path of the Primordial Spirit and soul?

Following the appearance of the first Soul-Eroding Blood Butterfly.

Then came the second, the third.

Immediately, dense Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies appeared, swarming toward everyone.

As if forming a blood-colored tide.

In an instant, the entire palace was in chaos.

Various magical powers and law lights spread, ancient artifacts and talismans appeared, colliding with those Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies.

But those law-based magical powers, once they landed on the Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies, had their power greatly weakened.

Everyone was in a chaotic battle.

And on Jun Xiaoyao's side, they also attracted quite a few Soul-Eroding Blood Butterfly attacks.

Jun Xiaoyao himself naturally didn't care.

After all, he was a Three-Life Primordial Spirit, rotating endlessly, immortal and inextinguishable.

He controlled even more Primordial Spirit attack and defense methods, and even had Primordial Spirit weapons to protect his Primordial Spirit.

So the Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies were completely unnecessary to worry about for him.

In his mind, boundless soul power gathered, turning into a soul sword, directly slashing forward.

It was the Three-Life God-Slaying Sword.

Those Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies had extremely strong defense and immunity to law-based power.

But facing such boundless soul attack methods.

Those Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies were also directly torn apart and annihilated within it.

However, the people beside Jun Xiaoyao did have some not-so-small trouble.

But just at this moment.

Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe suddenly had some movement.

A clean and crystal-clear butterfly was elegantly vibrating its wings.

With the vibration of the butterfly wings, it was as if one world after another emerged, with countless illusions flowing.

It was the World Butterfly!

One had to know that the World Butterfly was a true ancient divine insect.

It could even be called an ancient ancestor insect.

As early as in the Boundary Sea, the World Butterfly had resided in Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe.

It could be said that the expansion of Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe was inseparable from the help of the World Butterfly.

Now, as if sensing the Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies outside.

The World Butterfly also moved, emitting strange fluctuations.

This was the pressure fluctuation belonging to the ancestor insect bloodline.

And the World Butterfly could be called an ancient ancestor insect, so it naturally had a suppressing and commanding effect on the Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies.

After sensing the ancestor insect pressure emanating from Jun Xiaoyao's inner universe.

Those Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies that had originally swarmed over also flapped their wings one after another, turning to other directions, not daring to invade again.

"What is going on?"

The members of the Xiaoyao Alliance saw this and felt it was somewhat inconceivable.

These Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies actually turned and left, not attacking them anymore.

Jun Xiaoyao smiled calmly and then said, "Everyone, seize the opportunity to penetrate deeper."

Jun Xiaoyao led a group of people, including Fu Yaoguang of the Nishang Race and others, to begin breaking out.

The cultivators of the other forces also displayed their own magical powers.

Most of those who could enter this place were elite strong ones of the hegemonic clans and geniuses of various races.

So naturally, they also had some methods.

But even so, quite a few cultivators still fell.

Those cultivators whose Primordial Spirits were sucked dry by the Soul-Eroding Blood Butterflies.

Their broken physical bodies fell down.

A strange thing happened.

The red fungal threads covering the palace began to revive, like ivy, spreading onto the corpses.

Then they refined their blood and origin.

Those red fungal threads began to pulsate like blood vessels.

After various blood and origin were absorbed by the fungal threads, they were all transmitted toward the depths of the bronze palace.

It seemed that in the depths, there existed a heart.

These red fungal threads were like blood vessels transporting nutrients and essence to the heart.

It was hard to imagine what kind of eerie thing existed within it. ===== CHAPTER 3850 =====
