Even as the void shattered and cracks spread, it could not affect the terrifying defensive capabilities of the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield.

Chapter Ninety-One: You Will Eventually Fall to My Hands

Boom! Boom!

The giant black butterfly crashed into the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield again and again. Its terrifying power, capable of breaking mountains, destroying the world, and overturning rivers and seas, suffered a silent loss in front of the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield.

Even though the giant black butterfly smashed through the void in front of it and unleashed countless forces, it still suffered a Waterloo in front of the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, unable to advance an inch, and was defeated by the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield's formidable defensive capabilities!

"Have you hit me enough? If you have, I'll fight back."

Xiao Xuanyuan emerged from the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, his gaze coldly fixed on the giant black butterfly, revealing an unfriendly look.

"I will definitely kill you!"

A sound of gritting teeth came from the giant black butterfly. The giant black butterfly flapped its wings and unleashed hurricanes powerful enough to destroy the heavens and earth and shatter pieces of the void. These hurricanes slammed into the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, but in the face of Xiao Xuanyuan's overwhelming strength, everything was too pale!

In his previous battle with the Soul Butterfly, Xiao Xuanyuan was like a child fighting an adult with an iron rod. Although the iron rod was powerful, Xiao Xuanyuan was just a child and would definitely be defeated by an adult wielding an iron rod. But now that his strength has increased, his opponent no longer has the advantage of size.

To put it simply, Xiao Xuanyuan's fighting techniques were very strong, but his strength was insufficient. Hun Youdie's fighting techniques and magic weapon, the Devouring Void Chaos Ribbon, were both very strong, and her strength was greater than Xiao Xuanyuan's. Therefore, it was reasonable that he couldn't defeat Hun Youdie before.

Just like the two of them both possess a different kind of flame, the one with the higher level of strength is definitely more powerful.

Things are different now. Xiao Xuanyuan's strength has increased from the peak of a three-star Dou Huang to the peak of a one-star Dou Zong, and the Soul Ghost Butterfly no longer poses a threat to him.

"Kill me? You must be joking."

Xiao Xuanyuan sneered and stopped wasting words with the other party. He formed a hand seal, and a black and a white light in his hands continued to expand, eventually transforming into a huge blazing sun and a huge white moon. He then slammed his hands together, and a black and white rotating Tai Chi diagram rose slowly from his palms and flew into the sky, instantly transforming into a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

"Let me show you my ancient reincarnation technique, the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram!"

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a cold shout, raised the enormous Yin-Yang Taiji diagram with both hands, and with a movement, slammed it down hard on the black giant butterfly that was still attacking the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield in front of him.

Buzz!

Rumble!

A massive yin-yang symbol swept across the sky, causing the void to tremble uncontrollably. With a thunderous roar, it slammed powerfully into the giant black butterfly.

Soul Butterfly was unwilling to accept defeat. In just two days, she had been defeated by the boy she had always looked down upon.

The giant black butterfly flapped its wings, and countless enormous black hurricanes swept across the sky and earth, crashing against the powerful and heavy yin-yang symbol, which resembled a giant blazing sun crashing down. However, all of this did not move or shake it in the slightest.

rumble!

The enormous Yin-Yang Taiji diagram continued to approach, causing the space along its path to tremble like ripples on water.

The enormous black shadow overhead gradually approached, occupying the entire sky and even shrouding countless mountains and rivers below in its shadow. All of this entered the eyes of the Soul Ghost Butterfly through the blood-red pores of the black giant butterfly. This fighting technique was simply too powerful!

A sense of despair flashed through Hun Youdie's heart, but after a moment, she gritted her teeth, bit her tongue, spat out a mouthful of blood, and activated a powerful secret technique.

Just as the enormous Yin-Yang Taiji diagram arrived in front of the space about ten feet away, the giant black butterfly emitted streaks of blood-red light. In a short while, blood-red patterns appeared on its pair of black wings, giving it a bloodthirsty aura. The powerful aura emanating from its body continued to rise, surging upwards all the way.

stop!

The Blood-Patterned Giant Butterfly gently flapped its wings, shattering countless voids around it and revealing an endless, dark space. Then, with a terrifying, earth-shattering force, it crashed violently into the massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram that was crushing down!

Boom!

An invisible ripple spread out like water, causing countless void spaces to shatter like broken mirrors, spreading outwards. Countless void hurricanes appeared out of nowhere, sweeping in all directions with great force.

The enormous Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram and the Blood-Patterned Giant Butterfly clashed, each exerting its power to the extreme, constantly eroding, entangling, consuming, and wearing down the other's strength. The two forces, one red and one black and white, were locked in a stalemate in the sky!

Centered on the two, invisible energy waves reverberated in all directions. If the battle had not taken place in the sky, countless mountains and rivers below would probably have been leveled by the powerful aftershocks of their collision.

In just two breaths, almost no intact space remained around them; it was all shattered by the terrifying power and its aftershocks, leaving only an endless, dark void.

However, this world possesses the power of spatial laws. Even if space is shattered, the inexhaustible spatial power will automatically heal all the shattered spaces, restoring them to their original state.

That's exactly what happened now. Countless spatial forces surged into the endless, shattered void, and almost instantly restored the surrounding dark void to its original state.

"You can't beat me. Whether you're the Holy Maiden of the Soul Clan or not, it won't change the final outcome!"

Xiao Xuanyuan sneered, his eyes flashing with icy light. Without further hesitation, he poured countless surging fire battle qi into the massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram. In an instant, it emitted a light even brighter than the rising sun in the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, as it crushed the giant blood-patterned butterfly inch by inch!

Under the explosive force of the massive Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, the Blood-Patterned Giant Butterfly was continuously crushed and pushed back until its entire body exploded, revealing the form of the Soul-Ghost Butterfly.

She held up a huge Hun Tian Xuan Ling round shield in one hand and the Hun Tian Shi Shen Sword in the other. Her delicate body was also wearing a black butterfly divine armor. She was kneeling in the void, putting all her strength into it, gritting her teeth, and stubbornly holding on!

Blood kept spilling from the corner of Hun Youdie's mouth, her originally black eyes turned blood red, her long hair fell to her shoulders and flew around in disarray, her enchanting and beautiful face was filled with a sickly blood red from the rush of blood, and her whole body was covered in bulging veins. She was about to collapse.

"It's all coming to an end. You will eventually fall to my hand."

Xiao Xuanyuan's voice was cold. Finally, he slammed his hands down heavily, and the huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram followed his movement, rumbling and crushing down!

Pfft!

Soul Butterfly coughed up a mouthful of blood, blood flowing from all seven orifices. The Chaos Heaven Mystic Silk Shield shattered, the Chaos Heaven Devouring God Sword broke, and the Black Butterfly Divine Armor covering her delicate body shattered under the immense force. She was then slammed into the ground below by the massive Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram.

Chapter Ninety-Two: Your identity is no longer that of a minor elder.

Boom!

The Soul Butterfly crashed heavily onto the ground, shattering everything and creating a huge crater. Smoke and dust billowed around it, and its fate was unknown.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Xuanyuan caused the massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram, still possessing considerable power, to disappear from the sky. He then retracted his hands, and the Great Zhou Heavenly Shield, which was filled with countless star-like talismanic light and shadows, also vanished. He did not choose to kill him.

To put it simply, this alluring and stunningly beautiful woman in front of him, whose name he did not know, had been intimate with him and indirectly saved him once. Otherwise, given the aftereffects of refining the Fallen Heart Flame, he would not know how to deal with them.

With a complex look in his eyes, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at the alluring and beautiful Soul Butterfly, who still possessed some life force, then turned and flew away. In a flash of golden light, he disappeared into the distant horizon, vanishing without a trace.

All was quiet, without a sound. Hidden in the shadows, the trembling magical beasts cautiously emerged, unable to escape. Sensing no powerful aura around them, some of the less intelligent but bolder third and fourth-tier magical beasts even ran towards the deep pit where the Soul-Soul Butterfly was located.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the Soul Butterfly, whose black butterfly armor was shattered and whose seven orifices were bleeding, was revealed in the deep pit. Her injuries were quite gruesome. Her eyes were closed, and her breath was faint and barely perceptible. If one did not look closely, one would think she was dead.

A group of magical beasts that had gathered around jumped into the deep pit and stretched out their mouths to tear at the delicate body of the Soul-Ghost Butterfly. It seemed that this was a delicious snack for them, and eating it might have special nourishing effects.

Just as the demonic beasts were about to devour the Soul-Shattering Butterfly, a golden rainbow streaked from afar, swiftly reaching the sky and striking down with a palm, causing the beast to bleed from its seven orifices and collapse to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan's face appeared on the golden rainbow. He flashed and appeared beside Hun Youdie in the deep pit. He reached out, bent down, picked her up, and carried her into his arms, heading towards a nearby cave.

Soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Xuanyuan appeared in the cave where he had met Hun Youdie. The cave had already been set up with a seventh-order Xuan Tian Feng Yun Transformation Formation to conceal his aura, so he was not afraid of the surrounding demonic beasts getting close and discovering him.

A faint, alluring scent lingered in the cave. Xiao Xuanyuan's face flushed slightly. He gently placed the Soul Butterfly on a relatively clean spot on the ground. Looking at her deathly pale face, bleeding from her seven orifices, and her tightly closed eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. He gently stroked her forehead with his hand.

"Why did you do this? You insisted on fighting me to the death, and now look what happened."

Xiao Xuanyuan sighed, then took out a damp white towel and wiped the bloodstains and dirt off Hun Youdie's face to make her look cleaner.

After he had finished applying the medicine, he took out a high-grade sixth-rank healing pill from his storage ring and gave it to Hun Youdie to help her refine the medicinal power. Then he wrote a letter, folded it, and placed it under Hun Youdie before floating away.

Three days later, as the sun rose and the moon set, and night fell, Soul Butterfly slowly awoke to find herself lying in this somewhat familiar cave. She frowned, a hint of revulsion rising in her heart, before noticing the folded letter beneath her. She got up, took it out, and opened it:

I can't bear to see you die, I can't bear to see you eaten by those magical beasts and have your body taken over. It wasn't intentional, it's because I swallowed a strange thing that caused this. I've already given you a high-grade sixth-rank healing pill, I hope you recover!

Signed: The man who can't bear to see you die!

After reading this letter, Hun Youdie's brows furrowed even deeper, her heart filled with complex emotions.

After bidding farewell to the Soul Butterfly, Xiao Xuanyuan returned to the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy. He first went back to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and found that, compared to a few days ago, the ruins left by the battle had been basically cleared away. The hole in the top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, which had been broken by the Fallen Heart Flame, had also been repaired.

He had been standing at the entrance of the first floor of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for a while when students passing by kept glancing at him. After a short while, they recognized him and gathered around him.

"Is that you, my idol?"

"God of War, you've finally returned?"

Seeing most of the female students approaching, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and greeted them, then asked, "Is the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower still usable? Is it still useful to cultivate inside?"

"Of course it works, but the effect doesn't seem as good as before. The invisible heart flame inside seems to have weakened a lot." A pretty female student looked at Xiao Xuanyuan with sparkling eyes, wishing she could get close enough to lie on top of him.

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, then slowly flew into the sky and flew away, without even revealing the cool purple cloud wings on his back.

"The Fighting Sect?!"

"Without the aid of battle aura wings?!"

"Flying through the air?!"

The numerous inner court students on the ground stared in disbelief, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a large goose egg. Half a day later, the entire inner court was in a frenzy, boiling with excitement. The inner court's number one male god, number one war god, who had been gone for four days, was back! Moreover, he had advanced to the terrifying Dou Zong realm, able to fly without any external force.

In an instant, Xiao Xuanyuan's reputation, which had been gradually cooling down in the inner courtyard, suddenly became popular again, shaking the entire inner courtyard! His fame seemed to have reached an even higher level than at its peak!

The number one male god and the number one war god of the inner academy, the man who makes countless girls and proud daughters of heaven go crazy for him, is back!

The inner courtyard of Canaan Academy is becoming increasingly turbulent!

Xiao Xuanyuan had just returned to the director's office in the Alchemist's Office and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when he received an invitation from Elder Su Qian. The guards very politely and respectfully invited him to the inner courtyard conference room.

At this time, almost all the senior members of the Canaan Academy's inner court, including the outer court, attended this meeting!

When Xiao Xuanyuan entered the conference room, he found it already filled with all the academy's high-ranking members. In addition to familiar figures such as Elder Su Qian, Elder Zhongsun, Elder Liu, and Ye Ningyan, who were in charge of the inner academy, even the outer academy's dean Hu Qian, vice dean Li Xiaohu, and the outer academy's enforcement team's chief elder were permitted to attend the meeting.

Upon entering the conference room and seeing so many people, Xiao Xuanyuan was taken aback. Just as he was about to walk to a small corner at the bottom to stay, Elder Su Qian deliberately forced a smile onto his serious face, though it wasn't very pleasant.

"Elder Xiao, please sit down next to me. You are no longer just a junior elder; you are now ranked second in the inner courtyard, on equal footing with me! If you don't mind, I am rather old, so how about I call you Brother Xiao?"

Chapter Ninety-Three: Should I see you off?

"this?"

Xiao Xuanyuan looked at Su Qian, whose face was serious but with a hint of a smile, with a somewhat troubled expression. He then looked at all the gazes and stares coming from the conference room, and finally nodded reluctantly.

"That's settled then!" Su Qian nodded, then continued, "Let's congratulate Brother Xiao on successfully advancing to the Dou Zong realm!"

applaud!

"

Clap clap! Clap clap!

After a moment of stunned disbelief, everyone in the conference room joined Elder Su Qian in applauding. The applause was so enthusiastic it almost lifted the roof off the conference room.

A day later, Xiao Xuanyuan rose from honorary elder to become the youngest second elder in the inner courtyard, almost on par with the first elder Su Qian, and took the second position in Canaan Academy after the dean.

There's practically no way to advance further; if he were to take another step, he would have to push Elder Su Qian out of his position. And the Dean, who is rarely seen at Canaan Academy, is shrouded in mystery, rarely revealing his true identity, and therefore has no authority to make decisions.
