213 Chapter 213: The Expert on the Summit! Illusionary Butterflies!
“This is getting more and more interesting. I’ve been waiting here for you.”
“I didn’t expect your growth rate to be this rapid, my lad. In just a short span, you’ve reached the realm of the Immortal Gods, much quicker than I did back in the day!”
“Enjoy the moment, my lad. We are not alone!”
Deep within the endless expanse of space, a weathered stone statue suddenly opened its eyes and burst into hearty laughter.
As the figure shook, the accumulated fragments of years crumbled away, falling from its form.
It was impossible to ascertain how long this formidable being had sat here.
The dust on its body had solidified, turning the entire figure into a stone-like sculpture.
And the surroundings resembled a mountaintop.
This powerhouse was situated at the peak of the mountain, gazing down below.
…
After absorbing the bodies of two powerful beings, Su Yang surveyed his surroundings.
The scenery here was undoubtedly beautiful, shrouded in an ethereal aura.
“The flora and fauna here seem to possess even more vitality than the outside world.”
Curious, Su Yang observed the surroundings, his brows furrowing slightly as if he’d made a discovery.
To confirm his thoughts, he exerted his strength to stomp the ground forcefully.
But nothing changed on the ground.
It was important to note that he was currently a god-level powerhouse. Normally, even a gentle tap could trigger a landslide or a chasm. However, he was unable to alter the terrain here.
This uniqueness suggested the presence of something exceptional due to the influence of the Supreme Rules.
“Perhaps this is due to the blessing of the Supreme Rules, something only those beyond transcendence can’t disrupt.”
Su Yang quickly understood the key behind this phenomenon.
According to the Eternal attribute, even the landscape couldn’t be altered here.
In order to confirm what he was thinking again, Su Yang waved the Heart Severing Blade and slashed out with the Sword Draw.
Despite the powerful blade energy colliding with a branch, it failed to create the slightest ripple.
“Hiss!”
The fact that he couldn’t even damage a branch was incredibly astonishing.
Proceeding cautiously, Su Yang moved forward.
Thick mist enveloped the Supreme Mountain Peak, and everything here exuded an air of the unknown.
Throughout history, no powerhouse who came here had ever left unscathed.
…
After advancing for a while, Su Yang was astounded to discover that the Supreme Nether River seemed to originate from this mountain.
“Could it be that the source of the Supreme Nether River lies within this mountain?”
The Su Yang felt perplexed; the size of this mountain was truly immense.
However, since he couldn’t fly here, he couldn’t fully grasp its entirety.
As time sped by, even with the Su Yang’s slow pace, he reached halfway up the mountain.
Clouds and mist shrouded the surroundings. When Su Yang lowered his gaze towards the mountain’s base, it was obscured by the mist.
Gushing sounds reached his ears.
Following the sound, he felt an uncanny familiarity with the surroundings.
“Could this be the source of the Supreme Nether River?”
Whispering softly to himself, Su Yang confirmed his surroundings. Indeed, this was the source of the Supreme Nether River.
He had indeed been here when he advanced to the Mythical stage.
This was where he obtained the class characteristic of Void Slash.
The last time he came here, Su Yang did not observe properly.
This time, he realized that the Source Spring of the Supreme Nether River appeared to be connected to the river itself.
The water from the Supreme Nether River originated here.
He’d followed the river’s course to arrive here.
Now situated halfway up the mountain, Su Yang felt the oppressive atmosphere brought on by the Supreme Mountain Peak.
Everything here seemed shrouded in mystery, each object emanating an unparalleled force of rules.
“It seems this place indeed holds the secret to transcending, and the Ruler of the World of Light didn’t lie to me.”
Mumbling to himself about the Source Spring, he connected it to the Supreme Nether River.
Every detail reinforced the notion of this place being both powerful and enigmatic.
Buzzing sounds filled the air.
Su Yang lifted his head and witnessed a swarm of butterflies blanketing the sky, flying towards him.
Oddly enough, these were the most beautiful butterflies he’d ever seen in his life, incredibly captivating.
“Why are there so many butterflies here?”
At this moment, Su Yang felt as if he were standing in the boundless void. The powerhouses from the Heaven Realm were all obedient and subservient.
Even the half-step Eternal beings knelt before him, their faces displaying utter submission.
“I am the sole transcendent being throughout the Heaven Realm, spanning countless years. Disrespect leads to death.”
In this instant, Su Yang’s words echoed like the divine edict itself, exuding immeasurable coercion.
The faint pressure emanating from him alone overwhelmed the will of countless powerhouses.
“I am the strongest!”
“I have already transcended, becoming the mightiest existence in the universe.”
“The Heaven Realm and all realms have submitted to me.”
A constant inner voice echoed these thoughts within Su Yang.
Combined with the scene before him, it felt exceedingly real.
“Awaken!”
With his formidable willpower, Su Yang emerged from the illusionary environment.
Subsequently, using the Delusion-breaker Eye to examine, he realized that the scene he’d witnessed was caused by the group of butterflies before him.
Countless butterflies covered the sky, hurtling towards him with rapid speed. The buzzing grew increasingly loud.
Su Yang’s right eyelid twitched uncontrollably. These butterflies, though outwardly captivating, harbored immense danger!

[Description: Butterflies living on the Supreme Mountain Peak possess a trace of the Eternal trait. They can generate powerful illusions, causing even deities to fall into them until drained of their essence.]
“Hiss!”
“I didn’t expect this seemingly beautiful swarm of butterflies to be so formidable!”
The pain coursing through his body prevented Su Yang from falling into the illusion.
“Traces of the Eternal trait?”
Su Yang’s keen eye caught this phrase. If he managed to eliminate these Illusionary Butterflies and then refined them using the Eternal Forge, he might gain some Eternal traits.
As for the danger these butterflies posed, Su Yang automatically dismissed it.
Thanks to the Delusion-breaker Eye, he knew that these butterflies were merely at the god level, not receiving the same protection from the Supreme Rules as the trees and stones. Additionally, the prompt informed him they could be eliminated normally.
Su Yang slowly picked up the Heart Severing Blade and instantly waved the million-layer Sword Draw.
The Slaughter effect had already disappeared, but Sword Draw’s effect was still there.
Even though the shocking saber beam was restricted by the Supreme Law here, it did not affect its earth-shattering power.
