Otherworldly Desert Dust

Dragon scales had already covered his entire body.

This indicated that Little Yi had reached the peak of his growth stage.

Only one opportunity for a breakthrough remained, and that opportunity was undoubtedly Death Omen Yuan You, who had a similar aura to the Black Divine Material possessed by the Purple Emperor Butterfly!

After passing through the second hall platform of the Red Palace, Wu Hen continued up the staircase.

The Purple Emperor Butterfly hovered silently above the third hall platform, seemingly within easy reach.

So close, so very close, Wu Hen tried to listen for the sound coming from the Purple Emperor Butterfly, only to find that it had been silent for quite a while now.

As Wu Hen continued to move forward, suddenly a purple curtain of light appeared before him, separating him from the Purple Emperor Butterfly that was almost at arm's length!

"Do you know why people call me Death Omen?" the Purple Emperor Butterfly finally conveyed its message again.

Wu Hen stared at the purple light curtain in front of him, sensing an extremely eerie power, cold and lifeless, as if the place where he stood was the world of the living, while beyond the purple curtain lay the world of the dead...

Death, beyond the purple curtain lay death itself!

"You can touch me, but only if you die first," the Purple Emperor Butterfly uttered an ominous truth.

That sentence was eerily familiar.

Wu Hen distinctly remembered the Lord of Yinzhou speaking in the same shameless tone.

I bestow upon you the most powerful force in the world, but only after you end your own life!

"I didn't fight my way here to watch you play the rogue," Wu Hen said to the Purple Emperor Butterfly.

"You're not worthy yet," the Purple Emperor Butterfly replied with the same lofty and superior tone as before.

"Whether I'm worthy or not isn't for you to decide," Wu Hen stood before the purple curtain.

Just one bold step forward and he could pluck Death Omen Yuan You.

Yet Wu Hen could also clearly sense that one bold step forward, and the purple curtain would instantly seize his life.

This form of deprivation was irrelevant to the strength of his power; it seemed like the very law of Death Omen Yuan You, almost an impenetrable rogue law!

"Your courage astonishes me; in dealing with someone like you, one should not first instill fear but rather despair," the Purple Emperor Butterfly said.

Chirp chirp, buzz buzz.

Wu Hen was getting impatient, wanting to punch the Purple Emperor Butterfly into oblivion, then spoon-feed its energy to his beloved Little Dragon.

"Buzzzzzzzz~~~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, the Red Palace shook violently as if struck by an earthquake.

Within the ruddy Insect Palace, pair after pair of pupils glowing with Red Flames lit up; the once serene and majestic palace seemed to harbor a terrifying awakening army, taking heavy steps that made the surroundings tremble.

A strong scent gushed forth, turning into a sea of qi, brazenly lashing against Wu Hen.

Standing atop the palace, Wu Hen saw one figure after another, clad in armor like star steel, with wings as imposing as the ancient war garb, material nearly perfect like silicon-based life, and Diamond Blades forged from some Alien Space Metal...

Tyrant Tiger Armor!!

There was the Tyrant Tiger Armor again!!

Yet, what made Wu Hen's soul involuntarily shudder was the uncountable number of Tyrant Tiger Armors appearing throughout the Red Palace, emerging from its lowest ends, from inside the palace, from its side chambers, from its altars...

Before this, they were like statues sleeping here, emitting not the slightest hint of life; but with a command from the Purple Emperor Butterfly, they became like tomb guards of an emperor's mausoleum!

Wu Hen could sense that each of them was an intelligent being yet, like the vast majority of insect species, they emitted a life signal that allowed them to function as a well-trained army, achieving collective consciousness, unified against the outside world!

Listening Sense transmitted dense danger warnings, a whole thousand instances of Tyrant Tiger Armors!

A thousand Tyrant Tiger Armors appeared in the Red Palace!!

Without reason, and utterly absurd, they had materialized before Wu Hen, each possessing no less prowess than the original Tyrant Tiger Armor, none a figment of imagination, none out of place.

A strong storm of deathly aura that could tear apart any being less powerful than one of Heavenly Brilliance Power!

Wu Hen found it both incredible and utterly suffocating!

In that instant, Wu Hen remembered his previous conversation with Li Feng...

Ancient people walked to the ends of the earth on foot, only to find that the end was the vast Ocean.

Modern humans learned to sail, conquering the Ocean, only to discover that the world is round, and all life, including humans, is bound to a planet.

People looked up to the stars, attempting to leave the planet, yet they were restricted by the immense Boundary Power, not knowing how many technological revolutions would be needed to break free from the star system and reach another space...

Layer upon layer, exquisite designs, like cages from one dimension to another!

At this moment, Wu Hen felt a kind of despair similar to the ancients who had just conquered the land, only to see the vast Ocean, and beyond the Ocean, an infinite starry sea. What else awaited him beyond the starry sea?

He fought and defeated a powerful tyrant tiger armor from within his strength.

Then, breaking through his limits, he exhausted all his efforts to kill ten tyrant tiger armors.

To the sudden onslaught of a thousand tyrant tiger armors bringing suffocation and despair!

Death Omen Yuan You simulated the Law of Boundary Power, creating one life obstacle after another, all for the purpose of utterly eradicating the self-aggrandizing belief in Ascension!

A Firefly can never compete with the bright moon!

As the tyrant tiger armor soldiers approached, Wu Hen's recently kindled will to fight was instantly extinguished.

He knew that this was a military force he couldn't possibly contend with!

In his shock, he also witnessed the true terror of humanity's natural predator...

Their strongest trait wasn't that their individuals were incomparably powerful, but that their reproductive capabilities were even more exaggerated than humans.

Individually stronger, more numerous; humans didn't stand a chance. This was the Alien Species whose order in life's hierarchy was above humanity, humanity's absolute natural predator!

"After despair, comes fear."

"You are a very outstanding source of fear..."

The Purple Emperor Butterfly spoke in a cold voice devoid of emotion, always adhering to its original concept in the struggle with Wu Hen—implanting fear into the genes.

As the pinnacle of humanity, Wu Hen's despair was the perfect fear virus, rooting into the psyche of every human, passing on to each generation they produced!

Tyrant tiger armor, tyrant tiger armor, tyrant tiger armor!

Wu Hen felt like vomiting at the sight of the tyrant tiger armor, but the view within his eyes was filled with tyrant tiger armor, forcing him to evoke all his survival instincts, in search of the slightest chance of life.

He glanced back at the purple curtain.

Behind him was instant death!

And facing a thousand tyrant tiger armors was also death!

There was no chance of survival, not even a glimmer...

Death Omen Yuan You was, in fact, a dead end!!

He took a deep breath.

Suddenly, Wu Hen stopped all his thoughts.

Indeed, there was no chance of survival!

Since there was no survival, he might as well fight for it.

This life, I'll give it to you!

"Mother Nuwa, bless me!"

Wu Hen shouted, and suddenly turned around, charging towards the purple death curtain.

At the same time, the Black Void Witch Dragon within Wu Hen's body was poised to strike, as if it lunged at Death Omen Yuan You the moment Wu Hen flew towards the death curtain!
