Chapter 73 Butterflies Can't Fly Over the Sky
At the edge of the earth, a colossal gate stands.
That was the entrance to the Hundred Broken Mountains. Although it was enormous, there were too many people to squeeze in all at once, and the crowds blocked the entrance.
An old ape threw its young out, a young dragon leaped up, a golden roc soared into the sky, a demonic butterfly flapped its wings and cut through the air, and tree spirits and dragons and elephants, each over ten meters tall, trod across the land. All creatures of all races headed towards the gate.
Of course, the human race still has the largest number of members.
The ancient families, top sects, and descendants of royal families from ancient kingdoms, a vast and imposing group, were not to be outdone, and unleashed their treasures to catch up.
As a result, some fierce battles broke out outside even before they entered Baiduan Mountain.
"You guys go first." Shi Zhao still maintained the demeanor of a refined young gentleman, not in a hurry to squeeze forward, and gestured for Aman and Shi Liu to go in first.
The two women didn't make a scene. They already knew she couldn't travel with them, so they said goodbye and left first, followed by a few other people.
The crowd surged, and every living being was scrambling to get ahead.
Before long, the army in front was almost gone, and countless creatures had gone inside.
"Let's go!"
On the other side, the geniuses of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion also set off. Shi Hao was a little excited and charged towards the glowing giant gate with a roar.
With a whoosh, they passed right through and plunged into a misty passage.
There are many paths, and choosing different paths will lead you to different areas of Baiduan Mountain. The paths are connected to each other, which avoids large-scale bloody battles breaking out as soon as you enter.
Of course, later on, the different areas will gradually merge together, and the creatures that enter from different passages will eventually meet. At that time, the original inhabitants will no longer be suppressed, and the Hundred Broken Mountains will become extremely dangerous.
"Who? Who attacked me?!"
But in the passage, Shi Hao suddenly felt a pain on his face; someone had pinched his round face hard.
He was careless and didn't dodge!
In the dim light, a tall, slender white figure flashed by and disappeared.
"Hmm, the feel is indeed quite good." Shi Zhao withdrew his hand, then looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly a wonderful place. My vital energy is almost turning into water. Even if I do nothing, cultivating here will be twice as effective."
When she looked up, she saw three medicinal herbs growing on the mountainside not far away.
In the outside world, this would be unthinkable. A mountain is lucky to be able to support even one spiritual herb. But in the Hundred Broken Mountains, it's not far from being covered with spiritual herbs.
Just then, a magic butterfly flapped its wings and flew over at lightning speed.
It can be over a meter long, with five colors and shimmering light, making it very beautiful. Its flight path is like a graceful dance, but its beauty hides a terrifying killing intent.
Legend has it that the Ancient Demon Butterfly can cleave the sky with a single flap of its wings, making it extremely terrifying.
"Human, if you don't want to die, go and gather spiritual herbs for me," the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly said, its voice cold and clear, surprisingly belonging to a young girl.
Shi Zhao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.
"Not bad, no one has ever dared to threaten me like this before. You are the first." She suppressed the power within her body, raised one hand, and formed a sword with her fingers, gently slicing across the surface.
"Clang!"
A sword rang out, shaking the heavens and earth. It unleashed a blinding divine light, directly cleaving several mountain peaks in two and kicking up clouds of dust, a truly terrifying sight.
The attack was originally intended for the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly, but at the last moment, Shi Zhao held back, letting it graz the butterfly's wings and destroying those mountains.
"You..." The Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly was both shocked and furious. Its body was covered in brilliant patterns, and it flew hundreds of feet away in an instant. Then, its whole body glowed, as if it were burning.
It admitted that it had misjudged the situation, but its inner pride prevented it from turning back.
No matter how you look at it, this battle was between a pure-blooded ferocious beast and a weak human race. I will die here!
The Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly flapped its wings and flew back, its wings flashing, thunder rumbling, lightning flashing, and the entire mountain forest churning with clouds and mist, the intense light blinding.
"Whoosh!"
At the same time, the Demon Butterfly unleashed its clan's strongest treasure technique, its wings as crystal clear as two immortal swords, crossing together and transforming into a stream of light that shot out.
Shi Zhao extended his left hand and simply slapped out with his palm.
"boom--!"
Her palm rapidly enlarged, as if the sky were pressing down, with crisscrossing lines on the palm, resembling the intertwining of the great order of heaven and earth, and even a demonic star appearing hidden within.
Butterflies can never fly across the sky.
No matter how much the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly struggled, it was to no avail. Its wings gradually stiffened, and the light on its body dimmed, making it difficult to emit sword light anymore. In the end, it was bound in the void.
Shi Zhao withdrew his hand, and the demonic butterfly in his palm shrank accordingly.
"Let's go. Don't mess with people like that again. Not everyone is as kind as me." She released the magic butterfly and let it fly away.
The Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly was somewhat stunned by the attack, and it took it a while to recover. It was a little surprised and uncertain, but it did not sense any killing intent from this terrifying person.
It couldn't help but say, "I was wrong before. You are a special person, different from others. I acknowledge you and am willing to travel with you."
"I'm not trying to win you over with feigned indifference. It's dangerous for you to travel with me; you might die," Shi Zhao shook his head and told him the truth.
But the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly refused to believe it and landed on her shoulder, refusing to leave.
Shi Zhao sighed, ignoring the silly child, and went to the collapsed mountain wall to refine the medicinal properties of the damaged spiritual herbs, making sure not a single one was wasted.
From then on, she didn't even need to lift a finger; the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly could sweep away all the fools who didn't know their place, moving through the land as if it were empty.
"Something's wrong with you. You've extracted the essence of every living being on the road, not even sparing humans. I'm starting to regret being with you," the Demon Butterfly said.
It felt that this person possessed an inexplicable and mysterious demonic quality.
"I already told you to leave, and now you regret it. I'll give you one last chance to leave." Shi Zhao smiled and continued towards the Hundred Herbs Garden.
Her real goal was the Fountain of Youth and the God-Slaying Stone in that divine garden.
The Hundred Herbs Garden is a field of spiritual herbs in this ancient small world. There is a mysterious field there that imprisons runes and magical techniques, and can only be entered by physical strength. Generally, no one dares to enter.
Even from some distance, one could already feel that sacred aura.
After hesitating for a long time, the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly still chose to leave. Its original target was the Heavenly Bone Forbidden Zone. In comparison, its race was not known for its physical strength, but had a greater advantage in rune mastery. Going there to find the Heavenly Bone inheritance was definitely more suitable.
When Shi Zhao arrived at the Hundred Herbs Garden, the pressure here was nothing to her. After discarding several spiritual plants, her gaze fell on a talking stone.
"You...you stay away!"
"Come on, be good, let me see."
