Bexia slowly placed her palm on the trunk of the seven-colored crystal flower. The height of this giant flower was no less than fifty to sixty meters, even in its withered state. If it were to fully bloom, it would probably reach a height of around a hundred meters.
The diameter of the trunk of the seven-colored crystal flower was at least seven to eight meters. It would take about twenty to thirty people holding hands to circle around it. Without wasting any words, Bexia directly placed her palm on the crystal-like seven-colored flower. A burst of light suddenly shone, climbing up the trunk and reaching the seven-colored petals.
"Zi zi!" The collision between the black dots and the Light of Expulsion erupted into a clash of dragons. The black dots gradually dissipated into mist, but Bexia clearly felt that the damage caused by the slime's viscous fluid was on a completely different level compared to what she had encountered before.
"My power is still not enough!" Bexia thought to herself. The effect of the Light of Expulsion was indeed very powerful, but her own strength still had a lot of room for improvement. If she were stronger, it would be much easier to use the Light of Expulsion to remove these black spots.
"Does the master need help?" Christine offered, placing her palm on Bexia's back.
"No, I can handle this." Although it was a bit difficult, it was only a matter of time and energy consumption. Bexia didn't need Christine's help.
The black spots on the seven-colored crystal flower gradually dissipated as the Light of Expulsion pushed forward. The black-and-white striped trunk slowly returned to its original pure white color. A sense of joy entered Bexia's mind.
"Buzzing!" However, at this moment, there was suddenly a violent commotion in the butterfly swarm. Bexia's gaze involuntarily shifted towards it.
"Roar!" In mid-air, there was actually a giant butterfly-shaped slime, and this slime had the appearance of a butterfly.
A strong hostility erupted from within the butterfly swarm. Several elder butterflies immediately flew out of the swarm and quickly intercepted the butterfly-shaped slime.
The two immediately engaged in a powerful battle. However, their attack methods were quite one-sided. The butterflies would use their wings to fan out blades, while the slime would spit out viscous fluid. But from a deeper perspective, this was actually a battle of soul power between the two elders. Both the blades and the fluid were condensed using strong soul power.
Directly attacking the soul, even a saint would be seriously injured if they were not careful. So, one should not underestimate soul attacks, as they could affect the very essence of a person.
The butterfly-shaped slime had a huge body, and with Luo Ningxian's translation, Bexia also understood that this butterfly slime was the main culprit for the transformation of the seven-colored crystal flower. Bexia could even sense a sense of fear emanating from the flower.
The elder butterfly had soul power comparable to a sovereign, but the butterfly slime was even stronger. Although the elder butterflies had a total of four, they could only maintain a relatively weak advantage, and it could even be said that they were evenly matched.
"Roar!" The butterfly slime opened its mouth wide, and a large mass of pitch-black viscous fluid sprayed out, exploding in mid-air and forming countless raindrops.
But these were not ordinary raindrops; they were viscous fluid that could even overpower souls. A large number of butterflies gathered around Bexia and formed a barrier using their soul power, protecting the surrounding crystal flowers. But this could only last for a limited time.
The seven-colored crystal flower itself is already very huge, enveloping an area that even a single elder illusion butterfly cannot achieve, let alone ordinary crystal flowers in other areas. Those can only protect a small part, while the crystal flowers that have been dissolved are even more pitiful.
"Sizzle—!"
The slime made contact with the crystal flower, instantly dissolving it into liquid. Mixed with the slime, it turned into a faint black residue on the ground, with increased power of the soul. This is because the slime fused with the essence of the crystal flower.
If the illusion butterfly slime only intended to do this, it would be too naive. The dissolved crystal flowers have already turned into essence of the soul, and the illusion butterfly slime's purpose is actually to devour these crystal flowers.
"Not good!" When the illusion butterfly slime opened its mouth wide to absorb and spit out the slime, Christine immediately realized the danger. She frowned slightly and then relaxed.
"Master, may I borrow your Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map!"
"Of course!" Bexia couldn't afford to be distracted at the moment, so he nodded and controlled the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map to fly into Christine's hands.
"If that's the case, then I'll gladly accept it!" Christine grinned mischievously, activating the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map in her hand to its maximum capacity.
"Hum—!" The Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map instantly burst forth. As a soul-powered artifact, it had more power in Christine's hands than in Bexia's. Especially now, after her soul power had greatly increased, the range of the formation had reached nearly 10,000 meters. If she broke through this number, it would mean that she had entered the level of a monarch.
The power of the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map was much stronger than the illusion butterfly slime. Especially against the soul power that emerged from the corrosion of the slime, it relied on the nature of the slime itself to even dare to do such a thing. After all, this slime was not absorbed by the illusion butterfly, and even other resentment slimes couldn't withstand its power.
But there is always an exception, like Bexia's Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map. This thing is simply like a bug. As long as it is not actively controlled, it absorbs all soul power that comes into contact with it.
The moment Christine activated it, a large amount of soul power was absorbed into the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map from all directions. Especially the soul power within the black slime flowed into Christine's hand like a flood.
"Roar—!" The illusion butterfly slime felt that its food was being stolen, immediately bursting into rage. Even though it strengthened its absorption speed, it was no match for the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map. It hadn't even finished recovering a single drop of slime before the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map had swept away the rest.
"It feels like the power of this artifact has become stronger!" Christine had also used the Soul-Clarifying Bagua Map before, but this time she could clearly feel that it was different. Especially in terms of absorption speed, it had become somewhat terrifying.
Before, it would have taken at least ten minutes to absorb so much soul power. However, it now took less than two minutes, an increase in speed of several times.
The illusion butterfly slime paid a painful price this time, as spitting out so much slime also required a substantial consumption of its own soul power. If it had been able to fully recover the original slime and fuse it with the essence of the crystal flowers, it would have been able to restore its state completely and even enhance its own strength.
However, after using a powerful move, not only did the opponent fail to respond, but it also resulted in a loss of a significant amount of soul power for the Butterfly Slime, putting it at a disadvantage.
