X-Dragon Era

Soul Impact, invisible and intangible, unseen and unfelt, but the sensation was exceptionally terrifying. Turning his head to look behind, Xin Yun tensed his body, clenched his teeth, and at this point, he could only withstand it head-on!

"Huh?" After sprinting a good distance, Xin Yun looked back in confusion at the ghost butterflies behind him. To his sight, hundreds of ghost butterflies were chasing after him, flapping their wings, yet Xin Yun didn't feel any Soul Impact!

In his puzzlement, Xin Yun immediately found the answer. Looking closely, around his body, a golden-yellow bell-shaped glow descended from above his head, firmly enveloping Xin Yun. The flickering golden light was obviously resisting something.

Although Xin Yun had kept the Chaos Bell suspended above his head since he started his actions, the bell-shaped golden glow wouldn't have appeared unless he was under attack.

Now, even though Xin Yun couldn't see the attack with his naked eye, the appearance of the Golden Bell Shield indicated he was enduring an attack, and the nature of the attack was clearly the ghost butterflies' Soul Impact.

During his contemplation, Xin Yun almost shouted out in excitement. This Chaos Bell was damn amazing. Once suspended above his head, it was impervious to all attacks, and as long as the attacking force didn't exceed the range that Chaos Bell could withstand, any attack was ineffective, even the Soul Impact had no effect.

Actually, Xin Yun should have discovered this feature much earlier since... Yi Luo Xiang frequently used Soul Impact and Soul Lash on him. However, Yi Luo Xiang was now at the Gold level, and the Chaos Bell had only been repaired by ten percent, it simply couldn't withstand Gold level Soul Impacts. Therefore, in front of Yi Luo Xiang, the Soul Impact and Soul Lash only had their power reduced slightly but still had potent effects, which led Xin Yun to believe the Chaos Bell couldn't defend against Soul System attacks.

But now it seemed, the Chaos Bell truly deserved to be an Innate Supreme Treasure, facing these rankless ghost butterflies, it completely nullified their Soul Impacts. Even if the ghost butterflies got close, there was no danger. With the protection of the Chaos Bell, they simply couldn't penetrate.

While contemplating, Xin Yun slowed down, and with a loud laugh, led hundreds of ghost butterflies towards Yi Luo. At the same time, seeing Xin Yun leading a large swarm of ghost butterflies towards her, Yi Luo didn't dare to neglect and instantly initiated Soul Enslavement.

With the release of Soul Enslavement, one of the ghost butterflies instantly became stupefied and obediently fluttered towards Yi Luo. With her Gold level strength, enslaving these Five Star rank creatures was just a matter of half a second, not even giving them a chance to resist.

Soul Enslavement had its pros and cons. The advantage was it could permanently enslave wild dragons without fear of rebellion, while the downside was, it could only enslave rankless One Star newborn dragons, and to exert its full power, she would have to slowly train them up.

Seeing Yi Luo successfully control a ghost butterfly, Xin Yun laughed and attacked the surrounding ghost butterflies. Acid fog, acid rain, Violent Water Balls, a flurry of attacks, and endless mist covered hundreds of ghost butterflies.

Originally, Xin Yun thought that such attacks would definitely disperse the ghost butterflies instantly, but with his full-powered attacks, the ghost butterflies seemed unfazed, the acid rain and water balls didn't harm them at all, and the acid fog was useless, not even obstructing their vision anymore. After all, ghost butterflies don't perceive the world through their eyes, how could acid fog have any effect?

Seeing this, Xin Yun became curious, testing out physical attacks against them. Yet, these ghost butterflies were like ghost shadows, dispersing with a touch, only to regroup again with no effect whatsoever.

In his last life, Xin Yun had encountered the Ghost Butterfly. Back then, he had been chased off by a Soul Impact the moment they met, and he never dared to return. But now, Xin Yun was finally certain that the Ghost Butterfly was not afraid of physical or energy attacks.

Of course, if it was a fire-based energy attack, the Ghost Butterfly would still fear it. A blast of fire could indeed deplete its energy, possibly even killing it. However, it was certain that fire was definitely not what the Ghost Butterfly feared most; it just had an effect, though not a particularly high one.

After trying every trick in the book, Xin Yun finally got angry. With a reach of his right hand, the most powerful Thunderbolt was instantly unleashed. In an instant... a flash of lightning burst in the sky, followed by... a purple lightning bolt appearing out of nowhere.

"Crack... Boom!" Amidst the intense sound of thunder, a purple lightning bolt whistled down. As it passed, every Ghost Butterfly that came close to the Thunderbolt instantly vanished without a trace, not even a speck of ashes remained. Those not hit by the Thunderbolt scattered as if facing a natural disaster, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of Ghost Butterflies, aside from a dozen or so killed by the Thunderbolt, all fled into the depths, seeking refuge.

"Snap!" Seeing this, Xin Yun slapped his thigh and burst out laughing. Yes... these sinister creatures feared the Thunderbolt the most. When struck by a Thunderbolt, all spirits would be torn to shreds without any chance of survival.

The power of the Thunderbolt was inherently great, especially against sinister entities, where its power could increase more than tenfold. Facing the Spiritual Body Ghost Butterflies, it's a perfect counter, a lethal counter. With Xin Yun's current Gold-level strength, even facing a Crystal-level Ghost Butterfly, there would only be one word—hegemony!

Having the Chaos Bell, plus the Tai Chi Diagram and Thunderbolt, Xin Yun's thoughts became active. In his last life, upon discovering this place, he had fled, but in this life, it seemed he had the capital to continue exploring further. Protected by the Tai Chi Diagram and Thunderbolt, and using the Thunderbolt to pave the way, it was worth exploring further down anyway, who knows if he could find that so-called earth-shattering treasure!

With this decision, Xin Yun rode Yinglong towards Yi Luo Xiang. When he found her, she was excitedly playing with a black and white Ghost Butterfly in her hand.@@novelbin@@

Since Ghost Butterflies were Spiritual Bodies, they could freely change their size. They could be as big as ten meters in diameter or as small as palm-sized. However... only their size could change, while their shape and patterns could not.

Looking at the adult-hand-sized Ghost Butterfly, Xin Yun couldn't help but praise it. It was even more convenient to carry, and being smaller, it was a less likely target to hit, easier to hide, and could stealthily insert Ghost Eggs into an enemy's body in complete silence.

As he mused, Yi Luo Xiang enthusiastically said, "Xin Yun... can we stay here a while longer? As a creature of the Soul System, there is nothing better suited to enhance the strength of a Ghost Butterfly."

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Xin Yun instantly understood her plan. She surely wanted to implant Ghost Eggs into the souls of the Ghost Butterflies, then by devouring the soul of the Ghost Butterfly, enhance the strength of the Ghost Butterfly enslaved by Yi Luo Xiang.

Without any hesitation, Xin Yun nodded and said with a smile, "No problem, as it happens... I also plan to stay here for a while. I want to properly research, with the protection of the Tai Chi Diagram and Chaos Bell, using the Thunderbolt to pave the way, and continue to explore further down, to see if we can find that so-called earth-shattering treasure!"
