The audience across the Douluo Continent held their breath, completely captivated by the breathtaking scenery.
However—
Just as Wang Ergou's finger was about to touch the butterfly…
The butterfly continued to flutter gracefully, giving only a gentle flap of its wings.
Buzz—
In the next instant, an almost imperceptible ripple spread outward.
Wang Ergou's outstretched arm was instantly and cleanly severed!
That wasn't all—
That seemingly weak current of air continued forward.
Puchi!
Wang Ergou didn't even have time to scream before his entire body was sliced neatly in half, as if cut through like tofu!
Blood instantly dyed the grass red.
The butterfly continued flying away elegantly, as though it had merely brushed aside an insignificant insect.
[Wang Ergou: Deceased!]
[Cause of Death: Slain by the flight current of a Void-Rending Demon Butterfly hatchling.]
Dead silence fell.
After witnessing this scene, everyone across the Douluo Continent was so shocked their jaws dropped.
A butterfly hatchling—how old could it even be?
And yet it had sliced a person apart so effortlessly?
Even if he was just a mortal, this was utterly unbelievable.
Before anyone could recover, another sound came from the second screen.

[Second Perspective: Spirit King Meng Li]
Meng Li, after all, was a Level 52 Spirit King. His physical capabilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.
Although he was bent under the crushing gravity, he could still move.
"Hahaha! That peasant really was trash!"
"The pressure here is intense, but the Spiritual Qi is incredibly dense! I feel like I'm about to break through!"
Meng Li greedily inhaled the air.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
In the bushes ahead, a bright red fruit hung from a branch, emitting an enticing fragrance.
"An immortal fruit! It must be an immortal fruit!"
Overjoyed, Meng Li scanned his surroundings cautiously. After confirming there were no wild beasts nearby, he released his Spirit and carefully approached.
If he consumed this fruit, he might even break through to Titled Douluo!
In the next moment, he reached out and grabbed it.
"I got it!"
Back on the Douluo Continent, countless spectators widened their eyes.
He obtained it just like that?
However—
The instant Meng Li plucked the fruit, it suddenly split open, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth!
Crunch!
His palm was bitten off instantly!
"Ah!!!" Meng Li screamed as he tried to retreat.
But that was no fruit—
It was merely the tail lure of a crimson venomous snake, disguised as a plant!
The real predator—a tiny snake no thicker than a chopstick—was coiled on a nearby branch, staring at him coldly.
Whoosh!
A flash of red light!
Fast!
Too fast!
There wasn't even an afterimage.
Meng Li only felt a chill between his brows—
The snake had already pierced through his skull and emerged from the back of his head, carrying fragments with it.
A Level 52 Spirit King was killed instantly, without even the chance to release a single Spirit Ability!
[Meng Li: Deceased!]
[Cause of Death: Prey of a juvenile Cinnabar Snake.]

After witnessing this, the people of the Douluo World swallowed hard.
Then, almost instinctively, they turned their attention to the final screen.

[Third Perspective: Spirit Douluo Hu Yan Zhen]
As the strongest among the three, Hu Yan Zhen's performance was indeed extraordinary.
"Roar!!!"
The moment he landed and felt the overwhelming gravitational pressure, he immediately activated his Spirit Avatar!
In an instant, the phantom of a colossal Diamond Mammoth materialized behind him.
With his terrifying defensive power, he forcibly resisted the gravity and straightened his back!
"Hahahaha!"
Hu Yan Zhen burst into wild laughter as he surveyed his surroundings.
"Did you see that? This is my strength!"
"You think this little bit of gravity can crush me?"
He strode confidently through the jungle, completely unaware that he wasn't even leaving footprints on the ground.
Suddenly, he stopped.
On a massive rock ahead lay a pitch-black puppy.
It was only the size of a palm, with sparse fur, lazily basking in the sun while gnawing on a bone.
But that wasn't the important part—
The bone it was chewing on was crystal clear, emitting a faint golden glow!
"A Spirit Bone?! And judging by this luster… it's at least fifty thousand years old!"
Hu Yan Zhen's eyes turned bloodshot as greed instantly consumed him.
In his eyes, this was nothing more than a stray dog wasting a supreme treasure!
"Beast! Hand over the treasure!"
He roared, and his eighth spirit ring lit up instantly!
"Eighth Spirit Ability: Infinite Diamond!"
Without hesitation, he unleashed his strongest single-target attack.
His entire body transformed into a massive diamond meteor, carrying a devastating aura as he crashed toward the black puppy!
This strike was powerful enough to shatter a mountain in the Douluo World!
The audience erupted in excitement:
"As expected of Sect Master Hu Yan! What terrifying power!"
"That dog is finished! The treasure is ours!"
"I knew it—how could our Douluo World be weak? This Perfect World isn't that impressive!"
However—
Facing this overwhelming attack, the little black dog merely lazily lifted its eyelids and glanced at him.
In its gaze… there was even a trace of human-like disdain.
In the next moment, it didn't even bother to stand.
It simply raised a paw and casually swatted forward, as if brushing away a fly.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed.
Time itself seemed to freeze.
Hu Yan Zhen's Diamond Mammoth Avatar—said to possess unrivaled defense—shattered instantly, like fragile glass before that tiny paw.
Then—
His eighth Spirit Ability collapsed.
And finally—
His physical body.
Boom!!
Hu Yan Zhen didn't even have time to feel regret before he was smashed deep into the ground by that single casual strike!
The earth cracked, and rocks crumbled.
When the dust settled…
The once-mighty Sect Master of Elephant Armored Academy had been reduced to a pile of mangled flesh.
He was no longer even recognizable as human.
The little black dog casually shook the dust off its paw and resumed gnawing on the bone.
As if what it had just swatted to death… was nothing more than an annoying insect.
[Hu Yan Zhen: Deceased!]
[Cause of Death: Provoking the village gatekeeper (descendant of the Black Emperor bloodline); slapped to death.]
---
At this moment—
Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy, Spirit Hall… the entire Douluo Continent—
Everyone stood frozen.
Mouths agape.
Eyes wide with disbelief.
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened completely, his throat producing a hoarse sound, yet he couldn't form a single word.
Tang San felt a chill spread through his entire body, rising from his feet straight to his scalp.
A Level 87 defense-type Spirit Douluo…
With his Spirit Avatar activated…
Was actually slapped into minced meat by a dog?!
"Is this… the Perfect World?"
Bibi Dong slumped slightly on her throne, her scepter slipping from her grasp and clattering onto the ground.
A single emotion filled every heart—
Despair.
Deep, overwhelming despair.
