Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1018: Chapter 883: The Legendary Creature, Dream of Oblivion Chapter 1018: Chapter 883: The Legendary Creature, Dream of Oblivion The surge of black Spirit Butterflies had temporarily retreated, now hovering about ten kilometers away, and gradually became silent as if nothing had ever happened.

Chu Mu’s gaze pierced through the gaps of the dense branches, casting a glance at these oddly behaving black Spirit Butterflies.

Chu Mu was hesitating, unsure whether he should confront that woman face to face.

Chu Mu knew she did not recognize him, for they had both enacted spiritual isolation on one another. Even with a soul contract in place, they were still separated by two layers of strong spiritual prohibitions.

The Empress did not want the still living Chu Mu to sense her presence, and Chu Mu did not wish for this woman to be able to track him at all times.

However, Chu Mu could not fully guarantee that this woman might notice him through some other keen ability.

Most importantly, Chu Mu’s current appearance bore a certain resemblance to that of Chu Chen during The World Decree; the defecting girl had certainly seen Chu Mu’s face through the shared vision of the marionette girl. If she perceived something amiss about his appearance, not only would Chu Mu be in trouble, but this woman would surely tear away her hypocritical facade and join forces with the Alliance Master to attack the Three Great Palaces.

…

“Your Highness, it seems like Chu Fangchen has left. I cannot find him for the time being,” Duan Qiming approached the Empress, performed a gesture of respect, and spoke somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh, then let it be,” the Empress did not seem to care.

Just as Xiong Shou had said, Chu Fangchen did indeed possess some strength, but at present, there was no cause for alarm. If she were to dispose of this trouble secretly now, it could easily arouse the suspicion of the Three Great Palaces, and her carefully crafted image would be ruined.

The most brilliant battle is the one where the enemy is completely unaware of who they are fighting against.

Seeing that the Empress was unconcerned, Duan Qiming also cursed Chu Fangchen, that reckless kid, under his breath.

This kid, such a big shot. How many people have sharpened their heads just to see this goddess once? Even to speak a single word to her would leave many young Soul Pet Masters without regrets in their lives.

Duan Qiming, who lived in Xiangrong City, was naturally aware of the fanatical worship this woman inspired. He didn’t expect Chu Fangchen to disregard the goddess in so many men’s hearts to such an extent. Good heavens, if those worshippers knew about this, they would demand he be hauled through the streets and spat upon!

Li Guang glanced at Duan Qiming, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “If Your Highness has no other matters, we shall take our leave first.”

“Mhm,” the Empress nodded her head.

After Li Guang and Duan Qiming had left, Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian pinched a withered flower that had stretched in from outside the window, crushed it into powder with her hands, sprinkled it into her tea, and then drank it elegantly.

“Can you handle it?” the Empress asked indifferently.

“I should be able to,” Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian set down her teacup, her gorgeous eyes revealing a hint of wisdom as she replied.

“Don’t let them enter the City. Once all the plants wither, it will become very difficult to find what Cheng Mo left behind,” the Empress said.

Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian nodded her head.

Xiangrong City’s prosperity was entirely due to Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian’s cultivation, but no one knew that this Vice City Master, while cultivating countless plants to cover the City, was also searching the entire Xiangrong City through these plants for something left behind by the powerful Cheng Mo two hundred years ago—the most likely place for it to be hidden was beneath Xiangrong City itself!

Xiangrong City was immensely vast, and searching beneath it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, costing several years of time and yet yielding nothing for Xia Zhixian.

However, most areas of Xiangrong City had already been searched. If that item truly resided within Xiangrong City, it was bound to surface as the search area gradually narrowed.

What they didn’t anticipate, though, was the arrival of the Black Spirit Butterfly Army!

Initially, they had no idea what the black Spirit Butterflies signified, but upon discovering that these Spirit Butterflies could cause plants to wilt and wither, they realized these creatures intended to invade the City and destroy all searching plants, preventing any further search for Cheng Mo’s item.

Thus, at all costs, neither the Empress nor Xia Zhixian would allow these Spirit Butterflies to break into the City, for otherwise, it would take who knows how many years to cultivate as many natural land scouts again.

“Strange, why do I feel a sense of unease,” the Empress suddenly furrowed her brows and spoke.

Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian did not understand the implication of the Empress’s words.

“Sir… Sir!! Something terrible has happened!!!” A moment later, Zhuang Trace rushed into the City Tower, appearing rather panicked as he spoke.

“Speak,” Xia Zhixian said.

“It would be best if you see for yourself above,” Zhuang Trace replied.

“Alright, you go on ahead,” Xia Zhixian dismissed him.

After dismissing Zhuang Trace, Xia Zhixian, a Flower Girl with an Examination Position, came forward respectfully. She slightly bowed beside the lower-ranked individuals and used her Soul Sense to inform the Empress, “We have some leads, but we’ve encountered some obstacles.”

The Empress’s eyes, like autumn waters, conveyed a trace of confident joy.

“Leave this to you, do not let them disturb me,” the Empress said.

“Rest assured,” Flower Emperor Master Xia Zhixian also smiled. It seemed that years of hardship were finally coming to fruition. The task now was just to control the obstructive Black Spirit Butterfly Army…

The Empress stood up, summoned the Eight Desolates Bin Liao, and flew in a certain direction towards Xiangrong City, led by the Flower Girl with the Examination Position.

…

Xia Zhixian climbed unhurriedly up the plant staircases that twined upward to the very top of the entire sky-bound Plant Fortress.

“Look, those… those Spirit Butterflies seem to have, seem to have fused together,” said Zhuang Trace, pointing to the Black Spirit Butterflies that were gathering and flying in a certain direction some ten kilometers away.

Each Black Spirit Butterfly was like a tiny black dot. The most astonishing thing for all the guards of Xiangrong City was that these dots were combining one after another, transforming into small black elemental life forms, seemingly absorbing something.

Chu Mu, clad in white clothes, was also standing at the highest point of the fortress, staring at that incredible sight. Even he was dumbstruck.

Those Spirit Butterflies numbered at least a million, with various grades and strengths. When Chu Mu first laid eyes on them, a tumultuous wave surged within him, for he had never witnessed a race that could grow as dense as forest leaves, blanketing the vast expanse of land intensely.

Yet now, these countless Spirit Butterflies began gathering closely together. Each Butterfly’s body seemed to dissolve like ink reaching its designated position, merging with other molten Butterfly bodies, becoming like nothingness, or like something turning into a more substantial entity.

This was not just hundreds or thousands, nor tens of thousands, but a number exponentially larger—a massive Spirit Butterfly Empire.

Imagine the densely packed population of a Tenth Level City all jumping into the same abyss—what a stunning, soul-shaking scene that would create!

Gathering, fusing, assembling…

The number of the sky-obscuring Black Spirit Butterflies started to dwindle; the far horizon gradually brought back some blueness of the sky.

Yet within the entire Plant Fortress, tens of thousands of Soul Pet Masters and more than a hundred thousand Soul Pets of various races, all fixed their gaze on the same location in the sky, in such silence that not even their breath could be heard.

Duan Qiming and Li Guang, the two oldest masters who had seen countless Soul Pets, stared at that scene speechless, unable to utter a word.

Everything seemed as if it didn’t exist. Within a blink of an eye, all the Black Spirit Butterflies vanished from everyone’s sight, the west side of the World where darkness had engulfed was restored to its original hues, and bright sunshine cascaded down, making everything appear even more real, and no longer the bottomless darkness of a nightmare…

However, no matter how peaceful everything returned to be, no matter how desirable, those guarding the city still couldn’t bring themselves to speak, only their eyes—filled with shock, fear, and disbelief—remained fixated on the same location.

At that spot, a Winged Creature shrouded in darkness hovered in tranquility, its altitude level with the Plant Fortress, but it gave everyone the impression as if it were flying at a height beyond the reach of their sight into the firmament.

It held no sharpness, nor could one feel any overwhelming presence. It quietly fluttered its diaphanous black wings, conveying to everyone the coldest and darkest sensation coexisting, piercing deep into their souls.

Gazing at it was like watching the Grim Reaper swing its sickle with elegance and composure, granting these insignificant, lowly people a fate of death they could not change.

“What… what kind of creature… is this?” Long Jue Wen Luo stared at it, his gaze blank.

Long Jue, as the First of the Sixteen Extremes, even surpassed some from the Eight Desolates in strength and truly stood among the apex of humanity. A single skill from his Soul Pets could annihilate the sum of enemies that would take almost a thousand armies combined to kill.

Such a being should have no unbeatable foes.

But now, this formidable human was just as fear-struck and shocked as everyone else. After entering this realm and learning more, it was even harder for him to believe that such a creature could exist in this World!!!

Li Guang and Sun Qiming had always believed the king of the Black Spirit Butterfly Army would be that super strong creature known as the “Dream of Oblivion,” the Soul Pet of Cheng Mo, the strongest human from two hundred years ago.

Searching for the “Dream of Oblivion” for decades, they sought documentary evidence of its existence through various means, researching its race, abilities, form…

Yet, they could never have imagined that the “Dream of Oblivion” would actually be these million Black Spirit Butterflies!!

“Each Black Spirit Butterfly… is… is part of its body!!!”

The shock Li Guang and Sun Qiming felt was beyond words!

A million Spirit Butterflies, converging into one creature, this is the legendary super strong existence—Dream of Oblivion.
