"Aaahhh!"

William knelt on the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably as he cried out in agony.

Countless dark runes flew up from his body, rushing towards the sky and eventually forming fragmented pieces of dark scale armor.

Wu Xiaode's expression turned solemn.

—It was the armor piece from that giant dark skeleton again!

The Butterfly Soul Blade had advanced with the power of these armor pieces.

So the power of the Evil Demons came from these pieces? What then was the Infinite Tribulation?

His mind was a whirl of confusion, feeling that his longstanding fear of the Evil Demons had turned into something laughable and absurd.

More ludicrous were all beings.

—In front of that monster, all beings were mere ants, and the era was nothing but a conspiracy it orchestrated.

Where was the way out for all beings?

Wu Xiaode pondered in confusion for a moment, then decided not to think any further.

Because it was incomprehensible, there was no need to think about it.

Confusion dissipated from his mind, replaced by anger.

Wu Xiaode didn't know why he was angry.

But he knew what he wanted to do.

—To eliminate those terrifying creatures.

Even though he couldn't defeat them now, he was collecting the "Tomb of Laws" deck and still managing his own world, continuously increasing his strength.

One day—

Those things that dominated the fates of all beings, he would kill them one by one.

Wu Xiaode closed his eyes, calmed his emotions, and looked into the arena again as he reopened them.

By now, the icy blue color enveloping William had disappeared.

His body was rapidly shrinking in size, visible to the naked eye, until he transformed into a humanoid existence entirely composed of the Water Element.

It seemed that he had become a common, easily seen Elemental Creature of the Water Element.

"No, I was wrong, great being, please return the power to me. I will go and fight the Master of the Stars immediately!"

"Great master, I—"

William's pleas abruptly ceased.

In fact, no Evil Demon had intervened, and the huge dark skeleton shadow that the insect had transformed into had not acted either.

—Just—

The spaceship had already fallen apart.

This place was a dark and icy endless Void.

The Infinite Tribulation Power emitted by the Evil Demons, layered upon each other, could destroy anything non-similar.

As a simple and weak Water Elemental—

William lasted only a few moments before he perished.

His corpse was encased in a layer of hoarfrost, slowly drifting into the endless darkness with the cold wind of the Void.

A silence ensued.

Not a single Evil Demon made a sound.

"Brother Dao, can it really be like this?" Wu Xiaode quietly asked.

"Since an insect can grant power to an Evil Demon, it can naturally take it away from an Evil Demon. Just watch," said the Butterfly Soul Blade indifferently.

"What about the 'Dragon Transformation' we obtained—"

"No worries, this is my power. I've left behind a seed of power. Even if it's stripped away, the seed remains and will quickly recover."

"A seed definitely deserves a like." Wu Xiaode exclaimed admiringly.

He also secretly cautioned himself.

He must enhance his own strength.

This was fundamental.

In the Void.

The piece of black scale armor floated for a moment, then suddenly flew towards Wu Xiaode.

Along with it came the voice of that great being:

"Daville, I heard everything just now."

"Your loyalty deserves a reward."

The black scale armor disintegrated directly, transforming into strands of black threads flying towards Wu Xiaode.

"Catch it! This way, you'll be a bit safer," the Butterfly Soul Blade transmitted.

Wu Xiaode understood, drawing his long sword immediately.

Indeed, all the black threads entered into the long sword.

A line of ice crystal characters subsequently appeared:

"Butterfly Soul Blade is absorbing relevant power, details to be displayed later."

Wu Xiaode loudly declared:

"Great master, I will immediately lead all the Evil Demons here to slay the Master of the Stars for you!"

In the Void, the giant black skeleton buzzed:

"Go, all Evil Demons must enter the battle and fight for me!"

As the voice fell.

The "star's" light disappeared.

The giant black skeleton shadow also vanished.

Only the remains of the disintegrated spaceship were left in the Void, along with the Evil Demons.

Wu Xiaode held up the Butterfly Soul Blade.

The blade of the sword had turned icy blue.

When he held it, a misty ice fog that seemed like an "aura" continuously emanated around him.

"Be aware, you're seventeen Evil Demons in total, now there's one more, but you won't notice it, and none of the Evil Demons will perceive this—"

"The extra one is the insect."

It might accompany you to the battlefield!"

Wu Xiaode's heart sank.

The odd insect hadn't left?

What exactly was it thinking?

Wu Xiaode kept a composed expression, holding the long sword and said:

"Gentlemen, please follow me to assist Duke of Abyss Sarrens. We can surely fulfill the great being's commands!"

"Yes!" all the Evil Demons responded in unison.

A discordant voice suddenly erupted:

"I refuse to go with you!"

Wu Xiaode looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a delicately featured woman.

Although she was enveloped in tribulation power, she didn't seem very strong.

"Why?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You killed William. I will never work with you."

Deep hatred marked the woman's face.

"You're not working with me, but with me to fulfill the great being's wishes," Wu Xiaode emphasized.

"Don't expect me to listen to you," the woman scoffed.

Wu Xiaode felt somewhat helpless.

——In fact, he simply couldn't be bothered to deal with these robbers.

Whether you go or not, what does it have to do with me?

All his words and actions just now were only for the sake of saving himself.

The voice of the Butterfly Soul Sword Spirit suddenly sounded again:

"She is about to be eaten by the bugs."

Wu Xiaode looked at the woman, who shuddered slightly, then returned to normal.

——Was she eaten just like that?

I didn't see any eating!

He looked towards the other robbers.

The other robbers all looked like they were enjoying the show, totally unaware of it.

The Butterfly Soul Sword continued, "If you persuade her now, she will agree to go with you, because she has already become that bug."

Wu Xiaode then loudly said, "I am also very sorry about William, but you can't blame me, because he did not obey the orders of the Great Existence."

Upon hearing this, the woman indeed sighed and said:

"Listen, Daville, I am going to fight for the Great Existence, not because of you."

——She really agreed to go!

Damn, are there such creatures that consume humans like this?

She just shuddered and changed her soul!

Can living beings really overcome such monsters?

"Brother Dao, how did you know she has been replaced? Teach me."

Wu Xiaode asked the Butterfly Soul Sword.

"I can't teach that, you can understand that they are using my power, so I know whatever they do," the Butterfly Soul Sword responded.

"Little Wu, don't use the sword for now—I am copying a portion of the power to leave in the sword, so I have a backup when they try to take it again," the Butterfly Soul Sword added.

"I'll take them to the battlefield now, there should be a few minutes, enough for you to use," Wu Xiaode said.

"Thank you."

The Butterfly Soul Sword responded.

Wu Xiaode's gaze swept over all the robbers as he loudly said:

"Everyone, we are all here to fulfill the orders of the Great Existence."

"No more wasting time, let's set off!"

He took the lead and soared into the sky, flying in the direction of the battlefield.

One by one, the other robbers also started moving, flying towards the direction of Wu Xiaode.

After flying for a while, Wu Xiaode released his Divine Thought to look back.

He saw that a good number of the robbers had followed.

Five or six robbers did not come.

The female robber did not come either.

After flying a few more breaths.

The Butterfly Soul Sword transmitted a message: "Those who didn't come are dead."

"Are you sure?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Hmm."

At the tail end of the flying group, suddenly one more person appeared.

It was the female robber.

She had caught up.

It seemed she indeed dealt with some matters.

As Wu Xiaode flew, he observed the entire group, while also paying attention to the female robber.

"Can we defeat this bug?"

Wu Xiaode transmitted.

"We can't—" the Butterfly Soul Sword transmitted: "Don't think it's just one lonely bug, in fact, it represents the entire swarm here, able to call upon all of my power at any time."

"If they cannot call upon your power, can we win?" Wu Xiaode persisted.

The Butterfly Soul Sword's tone became deep and solemn:

"If they can't call upon my power, they will use their own power, and by then..."

"You will know what true madness and terror are."

Wu Xiaode felt his courage shrink back.

"That's really bad news, hurry up with the copying. Once it's done, I'm running away," he sighed.

"Aren't you supposed to kill the old blind man?" the Butterfly Soul Sword unexpectedly asked.

"Since the bugs are invincible, if I follow the bugs to kill him, everything about him belongs to the bugs, and I won't be able to snatch even a single hair."

Wu Xiaode, as if determined, continued:

"I'm going to help the old blind man—"

"Gain his trust and then find an opportunity to stab him, that would suit our interests better."

As he spoke, a magnificent and vast galaxy appeared ahead.

——The old blind man's galaxy!

"Is it done yet?"

Wu Xiaode asked quietly to the Butterfly Soul Sword.

"Men can't be faster, give me two more minutes," the Butterfly Soul Sword responded.

"...You're really enough."

Wu Xiaode suddenly dashed forward, shouting loudly, "Everyone, let's go, to annihilate this galaxy for the Great Existence!"

Without waiting for others, he took the lead towards a barren, bare small planet.

The planet was so small that it could be handled easily by a single robber, but it appeared to be made of various hard metals, so it needed some time.

Seeing this, the other robbers scattered and each dove toward many planets.

As soon as the female robber arrived, her gaze immediately turned towards the central fighting ring of the galaxy, as if she was intensely interested.

"Daville, finish up here quickly and head to the center, that's where you're needed more," the female robber shouted to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode split the planet with a gesture, loudly responding, "I know, I'm just warming up with this planet, I'll be right there!"

The female robber, having seen the old blind man, immediately ignored him and rushed towards the center of the galaxy.

Wu Xiaode felt a wave of unease.

——Perhaps he was already too late to aid the old blind man.

Only after the female robber flew far away did he slowly destroy the barren small planet.

"Is it done yet? You can't take too long," Wu Xiaode panted, asking.

The Butterfly Soul Sword did not respond.

Three lines of ice crystal characters quickly emerged:

"The seed has been preserved."

"With the chaotic power of 'Number 9,' the Butterfly Soul Sword will soon advance to the 2nd stage."

"You can learn new secrets and will know the power of the 2nd stage of the Butterfly Soul Sword."
