Supreme Emperor of Swords

“That pink fog should be something like pollen?”

The fairy butterfly, which was about the size of a palm and had a pair of wings in 16 different colors on, fluttered around and landed on Ding Hao’s palm.

Upon careful observation, he found that this fairy butterfly was four to five times larger than the other butterflies of the same species, and the number of colors on its wings was several dozen times that on the wings of the other butterflies. Ding Hao took a closer look and found that its body was not so horrifying as the caterpillar-like bodies of ordinary butterflies, but instead, it was even more adorable and cute. Its thumb-thick waist was covered with extremely soft fluff. It was soft and beautiful and had a pair of large eyes looking like two purest and clearest black gemstones embedded in its head.

It was indeed one of the most beautiful species in the world.

“So beautiful!”

Ding Hao praised the fairy butterfly sincerely.

The fairy butterfly seemed to understand his praise. It happily fluttered and danced around him flapping its wings in an extremely close manner.

“Achoo… Achoo…” The Evil Moon was still sneezing with tears.

Ding Hao stopped for a moment and began to walk toward the depths of the garden.

This place was like a royal garden. There were winding water streams and all kinds of rare flowers and trees everywhere. They were all legendary things in the Archean Period. This garden was much like a huge Divine Herb Garden, and it seemed that all plants were well trimmed and cared by skilled gardeners from time to time, so they thrived across the garden.

The more Ding Hao looked, the more scared he was.

It was definitely not a simple place.

The layout of the garden and these heavenly treasures, trees, and sculptures coincided with some kind of Great Way. The aura of the Great Way was spreading across the entire garden. Other than the primeval fairy butterflies, Ding Hao also saw several dozens of other species in the Archean Period, most of which were insects. Could it be that they were here to protect this huge heavenly garden?

This seemingly peaceful and sacred garden also contained a strong killing intent. One would suffer a thunderous blow if he took a wrong step.

Ding Hao had to cheer himself up and take every single step with great caution.

Standing in the middle of the garden, he could faintly see a white summit in the distance. On the summit, there was a divine temple shining with five-colored heavenly lights, which were like gods looking at all living things from high above. The temple looked extremely magnificent and noble. Just a look at it from the distance would make people want to kneel down and worship it.

That divine temple surrounded by five-colored heavenly lights should be the so-called final divine temple.

The legendary Three Great Divine Artifacts were stored in it.

“Is this really the place where the gods used to live?” Ding Hao was shocked and confused. It was hard to imagine that there was still a space between heaven and earth where the most complete scene of the Archean Period was preserved. Only the legendary gods that once existed between heaven and earth could create such a perfect small world.

However, as he walked, he gradually came to sense that something was not right.

He was about to get lost in this maze-like garden.

“Achoo… meow, f*ck… Achoo, you damned moth, why are you still following us…” The Evil Moon roared while sneezing.

The palm-sized primeval fairy butterfly fluttered along the way, following him and occasionally landing on his head. It seemed to be determined to follow him.

Ding Hao didn’t mind that. This fairy butterfly looked like the king of its kind with divine intelligence, but it followed him closely. It would be best if it could follow him all the way to the Divine Herb Garden of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Maybe he really had a chance to culture divine medicines.

However, this species couldn’t be treated violently, otherwise, it would quickly wither and die.

He held out his open palm, and just as he expected, the sixteen-colored fairy butterfly landed onto his palm.

It seemed that it was not afraid of Ding Hao at all. Instead, it affectionately touched his fingers with its colorful antennae, flapped its wings and danced in front of him, and pointed at a direction with its antennae in a human-like way.

“Is it showing the way?”

“Does it want to lead the way for me?”

“Do you mean that… you want me to follow you?” Ding Hao was extremely surprised.

The fairy butterfly excitedly made a gesture like nodding.

Ding Hao opened his mouth wide.

It was really a human-like fairy butterfly. However, in the subconscious of the Mind Essential, he did not sense any malice or danger, which meant that this fairy butterfly did not deceive him.

Then why did it want to help him?

Could it be that the halo of the ‘chosen one’ on him had taken effect?

Ding Hao didn’t think so.

There must be a reason for everything, but now he couldn’t figure it out.

“Well, then let me follow this fairy butterfly.”

Since he had no other choice, Ding Hao decided to try his luck with this fairy butterfly.

The sixteen-colored fairy butterfly danced gracefully and led the way for him. Ding Hao carried the sneezing Evil Moon and the curious black puppy on his shoulders, following the fair butterfly carefully along the way.

Soon, Ding Hao found that the path picked by the fairy butterfly was not the road of this beautiful heavenly garden, but some lawns without roads. Unexpectedly, no formation activated along the way when the passed throw the lawns. Every time he felt that there seemed to be no way to go, he would eventually find a way following the guidance of the fairy butterfly.

In just an hour, they surprisingly arrived at the summit where the divine temple was located.

The white summit seemed to be made of silver, and the undulating hills looked like five fingers. A winding path led to the magnificent divine temple shrouded in silvery heavenly light on the summit.

Ding Hao could sense that there was no formation or mechanism on this mountain. It was very calm, just like the hills in the wilderness that could be seen everywhere in the outside world. Except for its strange color, there was nothing excessively odd.

There was no danger along the path.

“Ah-choo… Ah-choo… You damned moth, don’t think that I will forgive you… Ah-choo… Ah-choo… because you are leading the way… Ah-choo …” The Evil Moon sneezed continuously with tears in his eyes and a look of non-appreciation on his face.

However, Ding Hao smiled faintly and said, “Thank you very much, little butterfly.”

The fairy butterfly flapped its wings and danced around Ding Hao excitedly. It was able to understand human nature, and obviously, it was very happy with the name “little butterfly”. Like a colorful flashing halo, it happily circled around him.

The fairy butterfly was as fast as lightning when it flew at full speed, which was completely beyond Ding Hao’s expectation.

“Ah-choo… You… Ah-choo, don’t come over here…” Seeing the little butterfly approaching Ding Hao flapping her wings, the Demon King——Evil Moon was so scared that he subconsciously ducked to the side. As a result, he let out a sneeze and fell off Ding Hao’s shoulder.

“Whoosh…” The little butterfly flapped her wings and landed on Ding Hao’s left shoulder, occupying the position that originally belonged to the Evil Moon.

“Hey? Little butterfly, are you going to follow me?” Ding Hao was surprised. He somewhat understood what this Fairy Butterfly King meant. It wanted to stay by his side.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

The little butterfly nodded excitedly and even touched his cheek affectionately with its colorful antennae.

“You damned moth, how dare you occupy my position… Achoo… Achoo…” The Evil Moon was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he didn’t dare to jump up to take back his position on Ding Hao’s shoulder, because he had suffered so much from the pink mist. Although it didn’t hurt when he sneezed, non-stopping sneezing was really life-threatening. Now he was already dizzy, and the tears kept flowing out of his eyes.

The little butterfly did not care about this loser at all. It turned its head and greeted the black puppy on the other shoulder in a very friendly way.

Seeing this scene, Ding Hao couldn’t help laughing.

The Evil Moon feared nothing, but in the end, it turned out that he was frightened by a butterfly. This happened to coincide with a saying that went like this: there is a vanquisher for everything.

According to legend, primeval fairy butterflies were beautiful and proud creatures. They rarely sought masters in their lifetime. They only recognize those peerless talents or heroes with distinguished natural endowments. For many exotic species with divinity in the wilderness, seeking a master was like a woman’s marriage and an investment requiring great caution and prudence. Only by following those extraordinary geniuses with good fortune could they take advantage of the situation, break free of their shackles, and reach the peak of their existence.

He didn’t expect that he would be recognized by a primeval fairy buttery as its master today.

Could it be that this fairy butterfly had ‘seen’ something in him?

Ding Hao was lost in thought.

Without wasting any time, he immediately rushed toward the divine temple on the summit along the path as fast as he could.

Chapter 10 World-shocking Saber Strike

Along the path, there was no suppression from any power or any dangerous illusory formation. Ding Hao rushed toward the summit at extremely high speed like a bolt of lightning.

All of a sudden—

Boom!

An extremely terrifying light column of Demon Aura came down from the summit.

“Get out of here if you don’t want to die!”

A ferocious voice tinged with irresistible authority and killing intent pressed down like a thunder.

The look on Ding Hao’s face did not change.

He had long thought of the possibility that there would be other experts ahead of him. Now that the Three Great Divine Artifacts were kept in the final divine temple, a life-or-death battle would be inevitable and begin soon.

Without changing his body shape, he suddenly threw a punch.

A bright light column with a diameter of two to three meters, in which golden and purple flames were mixed together, directly shot out from his fist. Like a heaven-breaking divine sword, it smashed the oncoming light column of Demon Aura with the sound of an endless dragon roar.

Ding Hao did not hold back his strength. At this instant, he let out all of his physical strength that he had promoted to the level of the Nine-apertured Martial Emperor by integrating the pieces of Jade in Stone into his body.

Like a divine sword, he broke through all obstacles and rapidly approached the divine temple in a non-stoppable manner.

“Huh? You’re courting death!”

The voice Ding Hao heard before sounded once again with surprise and anger. Then a more powerful force instantly swept along the path leading to the silvery summit and poured down from high above like a waterfall, ready to drown him.

“All those that stand in my way will die.”

Ding Hao did not back down. He put the black puppy, the Evil Moon, and the little butterfly into the storage space and then instantly activated the Bi Fang’s blood essence in the middle Dantian of his chest. With a bang, he turned into a giant Bi Fang that was hundreds of meters long.
