Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: The Magical Butterfly_1

It’s said that before the Mysterious World was created, there existed some terrifying creatures, among them was a butterfly.

With just a light flap of its wings, it could affect an entire world, causing earth-shattering changes.

Ling Xiao didn’t know whether the Little Butterfly in his Mountain and River World was related to the legendary butterfly, but for now, this Little Butterfly had been a big help to him.

The black flame that even he could not easily transform and absorb was, surprisingly, easily devoured by this little creature, practically treating the black flame as a delicacy.

However, there were also some annoyances.

That was because the Little Butterfly had devoured many of the spiritual flowers and mystical herbs within his body; not only that, it even consumed the Iron Pine Martial Spirit and the Fairy Dragon Martial Soul as well.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but marvel, how could such a Little Dot have such a big appetite, and be so indiscriminate about its food?

Luckily, when this little thing was about to swallow the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul, it encountered the black flame from outside and seemed to prefer the taste of the black flame, which is why it chose to give up.

”Damn it, I had only used the Fairy Dragon Martial Soul once before you, this little monster, ate it. What kind of creature are you?”

While introspecting his body, Ling Xiao didn’t stop fleeing. He was fully capable of multitasking, so this wasn’t a problem.

As if it heard Ling Xiao’s dissatisfaction, the Little Butterfly’s round eyes swiveled, displaying an expression of ’pettiness’.

Wait a minute!

This guy doesn’t seem to be a butterfly!

It was only upon closer inspection that Ling Xiao realized this little fellow had wings that were undoubtedly those of a butterfly, but its body had nothing to do with a butterfly at all.

Its body was actually that of a tiny person, not even as tall as Ling Xiao’s little finger.

The little person was cloaked in green garments that seemed to be made of condensed energy. Upon a closer look, it even appeared to be a little beauty.

She looked lively and bright, only her head was a bit too small.

”Please, you’re calling me petty? You’ve ruined the spiritual herbs and medicines I labored over, eaten my Martial Soul, and I only mentioned it, and you’re blaming me for being petty?”

If it weren’t for the little thing’s adorable appearance, Ling Xiao really felt like smashing it with a slap.

The little creature continued to eat the black flame while casting a disdainful glance toward the medicine field.

It seemed that she couldn’t speak yet and could only express herself through gestures.

Ling Xiao, curious, looked towards his medicine field and discovered that although the little thing was gluttonous, only eating herbs older than a thousand years, it had left the seedlings of each herb, not being completely ruthless or greedy.

This couldn’t really be considered destruction.

But even so, it was still too much, wasn’t it? The Strong Vein Grass had just been acquired in the Moon Blossom Pagoda, ready to be made into Strong Vein Pills, and that Golden Snow Lotus was a thousand years old. I myself had not even brought myself to use it, and yet, it was eaten by this little creature.

Ling Xiao still felt uncomfortable about it.

Seeing Ling Xiao still unsatisfied, the Little Butterfly made a sighing expression and then pointed towards the Mountain and River World, signaling a desire to leave.

”You want to go out? It’s very dangerous outside!”

Of course, Ling Xiao wouldn’t let this little creature leave. What kind of joke was that? After eating so many good things of his, it had to pay some interest.

”Mm-hmm!”

The Little Butterfly made a fighting gesture.

”No way, you’re saying you can help me fight? You, this Little Dot, might as well save it.”

Even though he said this, Ling Xiao suddenly thought about how the Little Butterfly could quickly devour the black flame. His biggest fear was now the black flame, and with the help of this Little Butterfly, perhaps he could really be more at ease.

But before letting this little one out, Ling Xiao had to make preparations thoroughly, for who knew if this Little Butterfly would run away after coming out, leaving him with all his efforts wasted.

He remembered that before Little Butterfly was nurtured, it had absorbed a great amount of his Soul Power.

At the same time, it also absorbed a large amount of energy from the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

Could his Soul Power be so easily digested?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao tried to activate the Mountain River Will.

The instant he did, the originally lively and adorable Little Butterfly suddenly fell from mid-air onto the ground, then its body began trembling nonstop, as if it had felt some extremely terrifying power.

”Hehe, I didn’t expect you, little thing, to be afraid.”

Ling Xiao laughed.

It seemed that although Little Butterfly was formidable, it was still not comparable to the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

Although the Mountain and River Martial Soul was the Martial Soul of the King of People, where the King had acquired it from was still unknown.

More importantly, within the Mysterious World, all Martial Souls were created by the Mountain and River Martial Soul, which was the master of myriad souls.

To say that the Mountain and River Martial Soul was the Supreme Being of the Mysterious World wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all.

With this in mind, why would he fear Little Butterfly running away? The little creature might seem powerful, but it was uniquely wary of the will of the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

With this thought, he immediately released Little Butterfly.

”Listen, little thing, you can’t just eat anything from within the Mountain and River World. If you want to eat something, tell me, and I will try to satisfy you. But after eating, you have to work. I won’t keep a useless thing around.”

Ling Xiao was not worried about Little Butterfly eating him out of house and home; with his abilities, finding food for Little Butterfly was easy.

He just really disliked the little guy eating his things at random.

This time it hadn’t eaten any of his critical items, but if it had consumed the Plague Demon King’s Martial Soul, he would’ve gone mad.

”Mm-mm!”

Little Butterfly nodded vigorously, and seeing its bright and watery big eyes, Ling Xiao’s heart softened a bit.

”Forget it, I won’t scare you anymore. However, the words I said before still stand. If you dare to mess around, I absolutely won’t let you off.”

Ling Xiao didn’t care to bully a little butterfly, but when it came to matters of principle, he definitely had to insist, not allowing the little thing to ruin his plans.

Whoosh~~

Behind him, even more terrifying beams of light flew over.

This time, thirty beams of light converged into one.

The beam was still over ten meters away from Ling Xiao, but the scorching temperature had already made Ling Xiao’s clothes hot to the touch.

Keep in mind that these clothes he was wearing were issued to Outer Disciples by the Moon Hua Sect, and although they couldn’t be called treasures, they still had some resistance to extreme heat and cold.

But in that instant, it felt as if they were about to catch fire, a not very comfortable feeling; if he were really hit by it, then he would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Fortunately, he had previously consumed the Fire Spirit Fruit, greatly enhancing his fire resistance. Although his clothes were scorching, his skin could still bear it.

However, as the distance closed, the temperature rose, and Ling Xiao estimated that even if he entered the Ancient Golden Dragon Form, he might still struggle to withstand the intense heat.

He could only resort to a desperate gamble now.

”Little guy, it’s up to you now!”

Ling Xiao pinned all his hopes on Little Butterfly. For some reason, perhaps because the little one had absorbed a great amount of his Soul Power, he felt quite close to the little thing.
