Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Subduing the Netherworld Illusion Butterfly

A notification appeared: "Please hold the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] and enter the Energy Evolution Tower!"

Shu Feng strode into the Energy Evolution Tower, holding the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly], as wisps of smoke began to rise from his right hand.

A torrent of slime shot out, enveloping Shu Feng and the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] to form a large cocoon.

Streams of High-level Source Energy poured from numerous pipes, flowing into both Shu Feng’s body and the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly].

One by one, mysterious Netherworld Illusion Butterflies flew out from the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] artifact.

BANG!

The cocoon instantly burst open, sending slime splattering in every direction.

An immense repulsive force surged from the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly], furiously eroding Shu Feng’s soul.

The Seven Great Holy Spears are all Unparalleled Holy Spears, each possessing a sliver of sentience. They reject anyone they dislike. A person who is not chosen by one of them will be unable to unleash its terrifying, godslaying power, even if they manage to obtain it.

"Just obediently become mine!"

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he furiously channeled his Spiritual Power, forming a Spiritual Membrane and gripping the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] with all his might.

The [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] was one of Blue Star’s Seven Great Holy Spears, possessing godslaying power. It was the most terrifyingly destructive weapon on the entire planet. Although its power was diminished in places like the Erosion Realm compared to its full strength on Blue Star, it could still unleash Destructive Power on par with a Divine Artifact.

In an instant, the shattered cocoon rapidly healed, and High-level Source Energy continued to pour into the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly].

After absorbing the High-level Source Energy, the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] suddenly trembled slightly. It formed a faint connection with Shu Feng, one that grew steadily stronger.

A razor-sharp proboscis extended from one of the pipes and pierced Shu Feng’s finger. Trickles of blood flowed from the wound and into the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly].

After absorbing Shu Feng’s blood, the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] sent back waves of affection and adoration. Evidently, this world-renowned member of the Seven Great Holy Spears had finally acknowledged him as its master.

「One day later.」

CRACK!

The large cocoon cracked open, and Shu Feng emerged. Holding the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly], a fervent look flashed in his eyes. "From this day forward, I am the master of one of the Seven Great Holy Spears: the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly]."

The Seven Great Holy Spears are the seven most powerful Holy Spears on Blue Star. United, they possess godslaying power. The God of Darkness from Gulondo World was killed by the combined power of these seven weapons.

According to texts from Gulondo World, during the first Great God-Demon War, the God of Darkness once slew a Void Demon King on the Void Demon Battlefield. In fact, more than one Void Demon King had fallen at His hands.

This meant the God of Darkness was by no means a weakling among Divine Spirits; He was definitely far stronger than King Jiale of the Black Tortoise Realm. For such a powerful Divine Spirit to descend upon Blue Star, even greatly weakened, He was still a terrifying and invincible being. The fact that He fell to the Seven Great Holy Spears demonstrated just how powerful and terrifying the weapons were on Blue Star.

’Three shots! With my current strength, I can only fire the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] three times at full power. After the third shot, it will have to start absorbing my Life Force to unleash its Power.’

As Shu Feng gripped the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly], lines of information immediately flowed from it into his mind.

When wielded by someone as weak as Ding Xiaoxue, one of the Seven Great Holy Spears could at most severely wound or kill a Spirit Saint with a single shot. Against a Demigod-Level expert, it would be somewhat ineffective, only capable of inflicting minor injuries.

But in Shu Feng’s hands, the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] could easily kill a Demigod-Level expert with a single shot. It just couldn’t be fired in rapid succession or used as a conventional weapon.

’However, besides me, someone else can also use this [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly].’

At Shu Feng’s thought, Wen Shuhao immediately walked over with a resentful expression. He bowed respectfully and said, "Wen Shuhao greets you, Master."

Shu Feng asked curiously, "Wen Shuhao, what is your relationship with the Gui Tan Wen Family?"

Wen Shuhao replied flatly, "I am from the Gui Tan Wen Family!"

Shu Feng instantly understood why Wen Shuhao hated the Luo Family so intensely. In its day, the Wen Family was the renowned Wen Clan of the Qianyuan Republic. Spirit Saint Wen Tianshu had been the Republic’s number one Spirit Saint, putting so much pressure on the Luo Family that they nearly had to relinquish the royal throne.

However, once Wen Tianshu died, the Wen Clan was ganged up on by numerous Noble Families. Although they managed to survive, their territories were completely carved up by the Major Noble Families.

Under various forms of suppression, the once-great Wen Clan rapidly fell apart, reduced to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family. It declined even further over the years, eventually falling to a Ninth-Grade Noble Family, the lowest rung of the hierarchy.

Shu Feng asked curiously, "How can you use the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly]? That’s the Luo Family’s hereditary Holy Spear. It only recognizes their bloodline! And even within the Luo Family, few people are ever acknowledged by it."

"The [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] is not the Luo Family’s hereditary Holy Spear! It is the hereditary Holy Spear of my Wen Family!! My ancestor founded the Qianyuan Republic together with the Luo Family’s ancestor."

"Back then, the Luo Family’s founding ancestor was powerful, but my own ancestor, who possessed the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly], was not the least bit inferior. They were the two main contenders for the throne of Emperor of the Qianyuan Republic."

"The Luo Family’s founding ancestor promised my ancestor they would rule the Qianyuan Republic together. The Luo Family would provide the Emperor, and my Wen Family would provide the Prime Minister."

"My ancestor and the Luo Family’s founding ancestor were sworn brothers, so he agreed to the proposal."

"But that animal, Luo Xuanye, saw my ancestor Wen Tianshu’s immense talent and his high, powerful position, and grew jealous. He had that bitch Dugu Yue poison my ancestor! He stole our family’s [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] and relentlessly suppressed the Wen Family, causing it to shatter and meet a tragic end."

"The reason that scumbag Luo Tiangang can use the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] is because he has our Wen Family’s blood in his veins!!"

Wen Shuhao roared, his face contorted in a ferocious snarl as he gritted his teeth.

Shu Feng watched Wen Shuhao calmly, feeling not a single ripple of emotion. ’That’s just how this world is,’ he thought. ’The victor is crowned king. The Wen Family vied with the Luo Family for the position of the Royal Family. Not being completely wiped out after their failure was already incredibly fortunate.’

’Back in its day, the Wen Family was the Wen Clan, an enormous and powerful family. Who knows how many scoundrels and useless heirs it had hidden within its ranks.’

’The Wen Family had absolutely nothing to do with him, so naturally, he felt nothing about their tragic fate.’

Shu Feng said coolly, "Wen Shuhao, as long as you work for me, and have the Wen Family work for me, your family can rise once more."

Wen Shuhao said, "Yes, Master! I will do everything in my power to serve you."

Shu Feng handed the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] to Wen Shuhao. "Can you still use this?"

Shu Feng himself could only fire the [Netherworld Illusion Butterfly] three times; it couldn’t be used as a conventional weapon. If Wen Shuhao could also use it, then he would gain another extremely powerful trump card.
