A faint, peculiar rune light flashed across Zhu Fei's forehead.

Immediately, Zhu Fei felt as if something had been added to the depths of his Divine Soul.

Moreover, he seemed to have the power of life and death over this thing.

There was no doubt that this must be the soul imprint from the Slaughter Mothership, inscribed with a highly unequal Master-Servant Contract.

As long as the Slaughter Mothership violated this contract or Zhu Fei wished to destroy it, a mere thought would suffice to annihilate it in an instant.

Unexpectedly, the Slaughter Mothership, which couldn't be subdued by any means just moments ago, chose to open its soul willingly and establish a Master-Servant Contract with Zhu Fei after sensing Little White's imposing pressure.

Familiarizing himself with the spiritual connection between him and the Slaughter Mothership, Zhu Fei immediately ordered its swarm to cease their assault on the Nine Palace Annihilation Array and return to the Immortal Bug Token.

After establishing the Master-Servant Contract with the Slaughter Mothership, Zhu Fei learned the name of that golden token and its true function through the Slaughter Mothership's spiritual waves.

Simply put, this was a unique Magical Treasure for nurturing strange bugs from heaven and earth.

Through this Immortal Bug Token, not only could various monster beasts reside but it could also invisibly enhance their strength and level.

It could be said to be an extremely rare, extremely unique, and extremely precious Magical Treasure.

It's unknown how someone like Bai Shan initially acquired such a special and precious Magical Treasure.

But regardless, it now belonged to Zhu Fei.

Upon sensing Zhu Fei's command, the Slaughter Mothership, despite some internal reluctance, had no choice but to obediently comply under the dual pressure of the Master-Servant Contract and Little White.

Suddenly, a strange and peculiar syllable issued from its mouth.

Under the influence of this strange and peculiar syllable, the raging slaughter swarm assaulting the Nine Palace Annihilation Array instantly quieted down.

Then, under Zhu Fei's gaze, they each transformed into tiny red dots like specks of dust and seamlessly merged into the Immortal Bug Token.

"Hmm, not bad."

Seeing this, Zhu Fei nodded in satisfaction and lightly praised the Slaughter Mothership.

Immediately, he slightly moved his fingers, and several Mid Grade Immortal Crystals quickly flew into the Immortal Bug Token, forming a massive Spirit Gathering Array based on them within the token.

Feeling the change within the Immortal Bug Token's space, the Slaughter Mothership exuded a wave of joyous emotion from its mouth.

It clearly liked this dense and circulating Spirit Gathering Array.

Zhu Fei couldn't help but smile faintly, saying, "Cultivate well and remember to be obedient. As long as you perform well, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Zhi Zhi—"

Upon hearing Zhu Fei's words, the Slaughter Mothership in the Immortal Bug Token finally emitted a submissive chirp to Zhu Fei for the first time.

Zhu Fei nodded again in satisfaction, putting away the Immortal Bug Token and organizing the Nine Palace Annihilation Array before casually calling Little White. With Little White, he quickly left the original place.

...

Three months later, Zhu Fei appeared before a ruined palace.

Looking at the ruined palace, Zhu Fei couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Because he had not deliberately sought this place nor stumbled upon it by chance, but was guided by an item.

This item was the key that Zhu Fei had intentionally seized when he left the ruins with Meng You and Kong Yuan, triggered by the Yellow Heaven Umbrella's fluctuation.

Two months ago, this key suddenly emitted an extremely hot temperature and a faint white glow when Zhu Fei passed through a wasteland.

Based on the key's anomaly at that time, after multiple attempts, Zhu Fei basically determined that the key was directing him somewhere.

Now, he had arrived at this ruined palace, which was the place the key ultimately led him to.

Holding the glaringly radiant key, Zhu Fei, after his initial confusion, finally moved slowly toward the palace's decaying gate.

The ruined palace seemed to have aged for countless years, exuding a desolate and decaying aura from both its walls and gate.

"Creak—"

As Zhu Fei approached the palace gate, he suddenly felt the key in his hand become slightly hot.

He was astonished to see the firmly closed gate silently open on its own!

This sudden and eerie scene made Zhu Fei's heart tighten slightly.

Before he could react, to his surprise, he saw an enigmatic and peculiar large array behind the opened gate!

Even with his knowledge from the Xuanzun Skill heritage, he couldn't discern the true mystery of the array at a glance.

What is going on? Where is this place? Why did the key I acquired earlier lead me here?

Just as this thought crossed Zhu Fei's mind, he suddenly felt a resistless force emanating from the key in his hand.

Before he realized it, the key had flown out from his palm and swiftly headed toward the large array!

Zhu Fei's heart jolted in shock, and just as he was about to retrieve the key, a soft "crack" sound reached his ears.

The key embedded itself into a groove in the array!

"Boom!"

Amidst a thunderous noise, Zhu Fei suddenly felt the palace tremble violently!

Before he could react, his entire body was enveloped in beams of transport light.

When he regained clarity, he realized he was no longer in the ruined palace but located in a searing magma chamber beneath the earth!

What place is this?

Zhu Fei stood alert, facing the intense, almost infinite heat of the magma surrounding him, not daring to be careless.

Without hesitation, a multicolored shield instantly enveloped his entire body.

But no sooner had he acted, the previously calm magma around him suddenly boiled violently as if stimulated by something.

The temperature around Zhu Fei soared madly as flames gathered!
