The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor was furious that someone dared to attempt murder under its very nose, its anger surging like wildfire.
With a flash, it pursued the Phantom, which showed no intention of engaging further. Instead, the Phantom turned, carrying the lightning around it, and charged towards another treehouse.
Qin Shilei's current plan was to lure out as many high-level Phantom Sound Butterflies as possible from the Fengdie Valley.
Since arriving in the Insect Realm, he had encountered one unexpected event after another and dared not be careless. Not long ago, he had encountered a Purple Armored Beetle in the beetle’s insect valley.
Who could guarantee that there wasn't another Platinum-ranked insect in this Fengdie Valley?
Now was the perfect time to create a bigger commotion while the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor was distracted by the Phantom. If there were any more powerful insect emperors in Fengdie Valley, they surely wouldn't remain hidden, would they?
"Roar!"
The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor was enraged, flying into a frenzy.
Although its speed was incredibly fast, it couldn't match the teleportation ability of the Phantom.
Whenever the Emperor got within fifty meters, the Phantom would immediately teleport away again, then unleash its Devouring Lightning to bombard the surroundings with destructive attacks.
Seeing that it could not catch up to the Phantom, the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor suddenly stopped in mid-air.
It opened its mouth and let out a roar.
Following its roar, all the Phantom Sound Butterflies in Fengdie Valley flew into the air.
The swarm of Phantom Sound Butterflies was so dense that it blocked out the sunlight shining into the canyon.
Qin Shilei initially thought the Emperor intended to use a human wave tactic to surround the Phantom.
Although he was slightly wary, he did not retreat.
He summoned heavenly lightning once more to bombard the Phantom Sound Butterflies in the air.
He mused, "Ordinary Phantom Sound Butterflies are no match for the Phantom. If there really is another Platinum-ranked Phantom Sound Butterfly, it should reveal itself now."
He did not get to see another Platinum-ranked Phantom Sound Butterfly.
Instead, he was met with a shower of pink pollen.
Eye of Void Shattering!
Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to unleash its purple eyes, capable of dispelling all illusions.
In an instant, ten beautiful women of varying personalities appeared before him, only to dissipate like bubbles under the gaze of the Eye of Void Shattering.
Although the illusion was dispelled, the pink pollen had already enveloped the entire Fengdie Valley, showing no signs of settling on the ground.
"So your true form was hidden here."
The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor's voice suddenly appeared beside Qin Shilei.
Teleport!
Qin Shilei hadn't expected the Emperor to be able to track him, hidden within the concealment array, using the pollen from the Phantom Sound Butterflies. He quickly teleported away from his original position.
"You can't escape."
As soon as Qin Shilei reappeared, the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor's voice echoed in his ears again.
Why had its speed suddenly increased so much?
Did this pink mist have other effects besides trapping targets in illusions?
Qin Shilei teleported away once more, while simultaneously directing the Phantom to attack the surroundings indiscriminately.
"Stop struggling, and become my nourishment."
As the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor's voice faded, Qin Shilei was suddenly transported from Fengdie Valley to a snowy landscape.
An illusion?
Qin Shilei's purple eyes blazed, but he could not see through his surroundings.
He frowned and summoned the Devouring Lightning, blasting it towards the falling snow.
As the thunderbolts descended, the falling snow and the accumulated snow on the ground remained unchanged.
Lightning Escape!
Qin Shilei used several Lightning Escapes consecutively, ascending tens of kilometers into the sky. However, in the next moment, he reappeared on the same snowy ground.
"It's useless. This is an illusion created by gathering my many subordinates. Its power is boundless. Even a Diamond-ranked expert can be trapped for a moment. You, a mere Golden-ranked humble outsider, have no hope of escaping my grasp."
The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor, confident of victory, chattered incessantly.
Qin Shilei was indeed astonished that the ever-reliable Eye of Void Shattering could not see through this illusion, but he did not panic.
He spoke, "You detestable bug, show yourself if you dare, and I'll blast you to smithereens."
Thousand Mile Ice Seal!
The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor ignored Qin Shilei's provocation and softly uttered four words.
The snowflakes in the sky instantly froze in mid-air.
An aura of extreme cold swept through the entire space.
Everywhere Qin Shilei looked, everything was frozen.
The Yuan Qi in his body seemed to be frozen as well, rendering him unable to use his powerful Devouring Lightning. His entire body became stiff and immobile.
Even his thoughts seemed affected, becoming sluggish.
"Heh heh, such vibrant life force, it makes my mouth water."
The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor's figure abruptly appeared ten meters in front of Qin Shilei.
An ancient talisman suddenly appeared in Qin Shilei's palm.
Seal!
As Qin Shilei willed it, the talisman shot out a white light, illuminating a spot ten meters to the right of the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor.
"Ah! What the hell..."
The Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor's voice emanated from that empty space.
Then, the voice abruptly cut off, and the figure of the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor in front of Qin Shilei also dissolved into fragments and vanished into the air.
"That was close. Fortunately, this Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor had already entered the range of the Battle Domain."
Qin Shilei inwardly rejoiced.
He had used the Battle Domain to seal the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor.
After the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor was sealed, the surrounding ice shattered and disappeared like bubbles.
With the loss of the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor, the pink mist around them had not yet dissipated, but it could no longer obstruct Qin Shilei's Eye of Void Shattering.
Piercing through the layers of pink mist, Qin Shilei once again saw the countless Phantom Sound Butterflies flying in the air.
His connection with the Phantom had also been severed. The Phantom was likely scattered or absorbed by the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor.
Now that the last Battle Domain had been used and the Phantom's cooldown period had not yet passed, Qin Shilei decided to temporarily leave Fengdie Valley using Lightning Escape as a precaution.
Several dozen kilometers away from Fengdie Valley, Qin Shilei's figure suddenly materialized.
He opened his right hand, and an ancient talisman appeared in his palm.
This was the Battle Domain that had sealed the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor. As long as Qin Shilei released the seal on the talisman, the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor would reappear before him.
Naturally, he had no intention of releasing it now. He directly threw it into the Qiankun Ring.
After waiting for half an hour, Qin Shilei summoned the Phantom once more and launched an attack on Fengdie Valley.
His main body hid in a nearby mountain cave.
Although this location was far from Fengdie Valley, making his control over the Phantom less agile, he had to do this for his own safety.
When Qin Shilei, controlling the Phantom, returned to Fengdie Valley, it was already in complete chaos.
Countless Phantom Sound Butterflies were running and screeching everywhere, frantically searching for their Emperor – the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor.
Devouring Lightning!
As soon as the Phantom appeared, it greeted the myriad of Phantom Sound Butterflies with a torrent of heavenly lightning.
Innumerable Phantom Sound Butterflies were blasted into dust by the ferocious lightning.
The Golden-ranked Phantom Sound Butterflies in Fengdie Valley immediately organized the swarm to surround and annihilate the Phantom.
Without the suppression of the Phantom Sound Butterfly Emperor, the Phantom agilely teleported to various locations, then summoned fierce lightning to bombard them.
After more than ten minutes of this, there was still no sign of a second Platinum-ranked Phantom Sound Butterfly.
In this case, your end as Phantom Sound Butterflies is at hand.
