Is it exclusive to the Emperor?

Su Qi stood under a statue, stretched out his hand and stroked the butterfly above, this butterfly was depicted as lying on its stomach, under it was a branch, the branch was bare, only the top grew three leaves next to each other, for some reason, it seems that the main position in this picture is not the butterfly, but the branch under it.

"This is the legendary boundary wood, some people call it ancestral wood, longevity wood, ten thousand spirit wood, there are many names, it is the giant tree that grows in the sea of blood, let the butterfly of the burial world live, according to legend it is the ancestor of all trees in the world, whether it is building wood, looking for wood, or Fusang tree, Tsubaki tree, or immortal tree, these sacred trees in the mouth of the world, are far from being compared with it, it is said that the person who eats its fruit, even if it is not the emperor, can also live with heaven and earth. ”

Anya said in a faint voice behind Su Qi, "We'd better get out of here, this is undoubtedly a temple where the human race sacrifices the Butterfly of the Burial World, and in the legends of the Boundary Road, this kind of place is always full of dangers." ”

"You said that danger always comes with opportunity. ”

Anya smiled lightly, her voice sounding stiff and nervous, " In fact, I am not afraid of danger, nor am I afraid of death, those of us who grew up on the road have long been accustomed to having relatives or friends leave suddenly, and naturally have a clear understanding of their fate, when I was a child, I thought that I would die in a famine year, at that time not only had to endure hunger, but also worried about whether I would be attacked by other races, but I not only survived, but also lived for many more years, which is already a very profitable thing for me, so I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of the weirdness of my death, and the death is not clear. ”

"Weird?" Su Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Well, there have been temples dedicated to the Funeral Butterfly before," Anya looked carefully at the behemoth hidden in the ice wall, "The Emperors built this kind of temple not only to worship it, but also because they wanted to establish a connection with the Funeral Butterfly through this temple. ”

"Establish a connection?" Su Qi was puzzled, "Since it is called the Burial World, it means that it is extremely dangerous, right? Why do the emperors ......?"

Anya interrupted Su Qi's words, "The emperors are all characters who stand at the top of the avenue, they have almost exhausted a road, what do you think they are most eager for?"

Su Qi was stunned.

What do you crave?

Immortality, power, wealth, beauty?

The emperor lives with heaven and earth, as long as he does not die in battle, he can live forever, they are the masters of a race, power is at their fingertips for them, and wealth and women will not be put in their eyes.

There is only one thing, and they will pursue it at any cost.

"Go further," Su Qi said softly, "Legend has it that there is a realm above the Emperor Realm, if I were the Great Emperor, I would definitely want to take a look at the demeanor of that realm." ”

"That's right," Anya nodded, "Although the purpose is different, many emperors have spent their lives trying to break through that unknowable realm, and you say, when they see a butterfly that may be far above them, and the means are completely beyond their imagination, but they are only given one chance to see it, then what will they do?"

"Goodbye to it one more time. ”

"That's right, that's why the Temple of Sacrifice appeared, and the Emperors hoped to use the temple to dream of that butterfly again, and get a glimpse of that unknowable realm. ”

Anya sighed faintly, "But this is the temple that worships the Funeral Butterfly, this is a realm that even the Great Emperor does not understand, and they far underestimate the dangers that come with it....... Maybe they didn't mind, when the emperors were still around, this kind of temple did not show any danger, but when the emperor left, these temples became more and more terrifying and weird, and anyone who trespassed into them could be affected by the temple and turn into a terrible monster. ”

"Monsters?"

Su Qi was surprised, this was a word that did not often appear among monks.

"Well, although I have not seen it with my own eyes, there are many descriptions of this on the Boundary Road, and legend has it that only monks are affected by the temple, and when they change, pale black smoke gushes out of their eyes, nose and ears, and their bodies twist and deform, giving birth to patches of scales, and long nails grow on their hands and feet, and eventually several fangs, and they lose their minds at the moment of transformation, as if their souls have dissipated, and they tend to crawl on all fours, but their movements are incredibly fast. ”

The more Su Qi listened, the more strange his face became.

The monster in Anya's mouth, why does it sound so familiar?

"The blood of these monsters is also black, although it is not clear whether they will still use the Absolute Skill of their lifetime, but some people say that they will condense a black ball of light, which can devour the aura and almost all Dao magic moves, even your sword qi is no exception. Anya added.

Black blood, black ball of light......

Isn't this the kind of fucking monster in the Guanghan Palace?

Su Qi was shocked, when he found an ancient corpse in the Guanghan Palace, the heart of the corpse was taken away, and after a long time, the body was still shiny, at that time he wanted to examine it carefully, but he didn't expect the corpse to suddenly change into a terrifying monster, attacking him frantically.

If he hadn't run fast and broke into the bronze hall with countless dried corpses hanging upside down, he might have been dead.

So, that monster was transformed because of the Dead Butterfly?

But Guanghan Palace is not a sacrificial temple, why does it have that kind of influence?

After being silent for too long, Anya was keenly aware that something was wrong, and she hesitated for a moment, "You—you shouldn't have seen that kind of monster, right?"

Su Qi laughed dryly, "Uh, let me ask, have you ever heard of any secret techniques that will hang monks upside down, and will turn those monks into dry corpses in the end......"

Anya took a step back and covered her mouth in shock, "You—you've really seen that kind of monster!"

The corners of Su Qi's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, it's related.

At that time, the monster saw the upside-down dried corpses, tears fell like rain, and it seemed that it regained its consciousness in an instant, and then fled in panic, he didn't know why at the time, but now it seems that the two really have a lot to do with each other.

"Hanging the corpse upside down....... If I'm not mistaken, there should be a lot of dried corpses, at least hundreds. ”

Su Qi nodded.

"There has also been such a thing on the boundary road, the last temple that sacrificed the Butterfly of the Burial World was destroyed after that, remember when I said that the Great Emperor tried the Dream Butterfly through the temple? This method has actually been passed down and obtained by some sects, but they don't have the realm and cultivation of the Great Emperor, so they can't use this method at all......" Anya swallowed, her voice trembling slightly, " However, some gifted monks modified this secret technique, knowing that the Funeral Butterfly loved to devour the blood and soul of living beings, so they sacrificed living monks in exchange for the opportunity to connect with the Funeral Butterfly, and even gained some terrifying powers from it. ”

"And the monks who became sacrifices will all be turned into dried corpses. ”
