Epic of Caterpillar Chapter 2933 2934: Spider VS Butterfly

-----

Sun and Moon Heavenly Dimensional Domain, Outerversal Expanse, Gray Void Firmament.

A blue-skinned elder of small build, featuring a single eye on his face and a bald head, methodically and tenderly sowed peculiar extraterrestrial flora.

Each action was meticulously planned, refined over endless years of bondage in the fields producing Sekurialk, the intensely addictive substance.

For millennia, torment, mistreatment, and grueling toil had defined his existence.

Daily, Xee Piuk stared toward the horizon of his prison planet, yearning for the moment he might possess his own plot of land to nurture his cherished plants.

Time dragged on until he entered his twilight years, when his shovel finally shattered.

From then on, he relied solely on his hands.

He toiled each day.

For his kin.

For his loved ones.

For survival itself.

This toil transformed into a deep fervor amid his chains, fostering a profound affection for the earth and his implements.

Once, after shattering his tool, his captors withheld food, plunging him into starvation.

Under cover of night, unobserved, a shovel returned to his grasp once more.

This occasion brought a hoe to complement it in his other hand.

Xee Piuk suspected a dream, yet wielding them revealed a transformed reality surrounding him.

Lush plants flourished abundantly; the ground overflowed with vital nutrients and vigor.

His vision pierced the subtle boundaries dividing his world from the realms overhead.

He discerned the true sentiments hidden in others' hearts.

His Intent took solid form, becoming graspable; his consciousness escaped the confines of his aged, weakened frame.

In this way, Xee Piuk emerged as a Heart Tribe member.

Wielding shovel and hoe, he vanquished myriad adversaries, freed his brethren, and forged a sanctuary within the Gray Void Firmament.

Repeatedly, intruders arrived to plague him, demanding relentless defense.

Successive foes grew ever mightier, compelling him to exceed his limits time and again.

Near-death gripped him once; true demise claimed him on other occasions.

Nevertheless, his Heart urged him onward. Through repeated deaths, it swelled to immense, limitless proportions.

Ultimately, its potency allowed him to annihilate whole universes and rend dimensions asunder using mere shovel and hoe.

His Way of Life ignited inspiration in multitudes, who through unyielding strife also awakened into the Heart Tribe.

Yet he never foresaw that the enchanting fairy visitor—a Heart Avatar carrying a radiant pillar of light—would now battle to reshape the destinies of all.

"You dwelled among us briefly for mere weeks as a Heart Avatar. Initial distrust met you, yet your deeds and compassion won our faith…" He sighed deeply, eyes fixed on distant voids. "I cannot aid you as profoundly as your master did. You've outstripped me and all others, but… Kireina, hesitate not. Forge ahead on your path unceasingly."

His words resonated across boundless infinity, arriving at Kireina as she pressed forward to face the Spider puppeteering Reality's Threads against her.

The Dimensional Labyrinth proved a total debacle; commands followed to devise something vaster and more immense.

That scheme collapsed too.

From the Empyrean Throne, overseeing presences beheld Kireina's approach toward them and their Spider.

"What's wrong?" she demanded. Cosmic gales billowed her elongated dark purple and red kimono as she clutched her boundless katana. "Scared to face your little sister? Descend and end this decisively. Three on one gives you clear superiority."

"Y-You…! Why are you here?!" The Spider snarled. Reality threads coiled around Kireina, blocking her path. "Please, ignore her!"

"Hm. Well, if matters have escalated this far, eliminate her, Spider."

"Do it."

"It's quicker like this, right?"

"Nnngh…! Y-Yes!" The spider acquiesced, constricting the threads tighter around Kireina. "I'll finish this…! I'll finish you!"

"I don't think you can end anything, little spider."

Kireina brandished her Infinite Heavens Sword.

More precisely, her Infinite Heavenly Dimensional Domains Sword.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Reality threads—each weaving multiple dimensions—burst and fragmented successively, liberating her in mere moments.

"…?!"

Empyrean Throne presences above merely observed, intervening not.

The Spider stood frozen in shock, retreat impossible now.

Hadn't this been her desire? A decisive rematch to slay Kireina at last?

"We go way back, don't we?" Kireina closed in on the spider, weapon ready. "From our days as mere monsters battling for survival. I wish circumstances had differed."

"Not a day passes without regret for sparing you when I could have ended you, you cursed caterpillar!" the Spider bellowed. "The Grand Forest lay within my grasp… ah, but that's irrelevant now! Behold my ascent! I require none of it! I am a Weaver of Reality!"

"Is that so?" Kireina inquired. "To me, you remain a pesky bug."

"Spiders are arachnids, not insects!" the Spider Queen spat, spinning myriad threads.

Every thread birthed its dimension, relentlessly pulling Kireina into infinite realms designed to eradicate her body, soul, and spirit.

Evading such onslaughts seemed impossible. Without her Infinite Heavens Sword's evolution, and her own, Kireina would have perished here.

"Fifth Form – Heaven-Defying Celestial Path!"

Before Kireina materialized paths—dozens escalating to hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions, quintillions, sextillions, and infinitely more.

Boundless paths unfolded endlessly.

The cause was straightforward.

Kireina's Heart evolved and ballooned without limits. These dire clashes, testing her utmost bounds, propelled her advancement further.

Her Heart Path intertwined with her other paths. Pure Heart Essence threads wove into Body, Soul, Mind, and Spirit.

Heaven, Earth, Arcane, and Cosmic Paths converged in her heart, blooming resplendently as ascension accelerated each instant.

Severing more dimensions from the spiderwebs amplified her Heart's might and expanded her Authority of Defiance gloriously.

Transcending Celestial Vessel, she approached the Transcendent Nirvana Realm, necessitating discard of her physical form for a novel existence.

Yet leveraging vast wisdom, Kireina crafted a bespoke Cultivation Formula, etching it into her being. Rather than total abandonment, she channeled the shed vessel to supercharge her Heart's expansion.

FLUOSH!

"T-This is insane…!"

The Spider Queen drew back in terror as Kireina demolished Causality's barriers, twisting reality profoundly. The Plane of Fate quivered; myriad Heavenly Tribulations crashed like cataclysmic cosmic bolts.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Kireina devoured the celestial might, reforging herself grander—her presence soaring endlessly.

She transformed into a Dimension and its sovereign simultaneously.

Her Cosmic Realm fused with Heavenly Domain, proliferating vastly. Stars, black holes, galaxies, nebulae, universes, and universe clusters spawned relentlessly.

Inside Kireina gestated a fresh Dimension—a full Multiverse.

Traditional Cosmic Cultivation entailed devouring astral bodies and events. Her mastered approach emphasized genesis and self-perfection.

Kireina birthed universes within herself, rather than devouring external ones.

This upheaval shook the entire Sun and Moon Heavenly Dimensional Domain. Such Domains represented pinnacle "Realities" in "Existence."

Existence housed myriad Realities; the Sun and Moon Heavenly Domain stood as one.

A Heavenly Dimensional Domain encompassed about one hundred to one thousand Dimensions, each harboring its Multiverse.

Thus Kireina ascended nearing such stature—and continued climbing.

Each cleaved thread fueled her surging power, as if Existence bestowed honors and amplified essence per feat.

Kireina eclipsed Constellations, evolving into...

"An Immortal! She's becoming a True Immortal!!!"

The Spider Queen, empowered to Multidimensional Paragon level, gasped in shock and denial. She retreated, summoning Plane of Fate's Fate and Causality forces to impede Kireina.

"S-STOP! DIE! DIE ALREADY!!!"

Innumerable threads surged at Kireina, yet she cleaved them relentlessly.

More flooded from reality's every facet until Kireina found herself...

Overwhelmed.

"I won't permit further ascension! Heaven and Earth Cultivation Paths are Immortal Arts from a ancient Empyrean Throne member—long defeated. How did they proliferate so suddenly?!"

The Empyrean Throne eradicated an Ancient Great Being who authored "Heaven & Earth Cultivation" Immortal Art, establishing it as a pervasive Heavenly Law across Existence.

Fearing ascension of inferiors, fellow Thrones purged all vestiges of that Heavenly Law.

Myriad Cultivation Worlds perished; the Great Being fell.

Yet true death eluded him. Great Beings embody Heavenly Laws within Existence.

This Great Being now stirred within Kireina, who wielded and elevated his Immortal Art transcendentally via Heart Essence fusion.

He—once crushed and relegated to sustain minor universes as a wretched primordial—awoke across countless realities.

His insanity arose from shattered psyche. Now, convergence through Kireina unified him, sparking genuine awakening.

Reality trembled at Kireina. The One's Legacy—or the Grand Father of the Three Thousand Heavens, an Empyrean Throne—began emerging.

"I see. So it was you all along. I sensed anomaly in your fragmented presences across reality, The One," Kireina murmured smilingly.

"I never dreamed Khaos's daughter would liberate and reassemble my sundered wills through Reality. My condition proved ludicrous… success seemed impossible," The One exhaled. "Maddened by fractured self, my chaos ravaged others, spawning tragedies aplenty! I claim responsibility now. Command my Heavenly Law, Kireina! Become a True Immortal! Seize my Empyrean Throne!"

"…Thank you, but I refuse," Kireina declared, astonishing the overseeing Three Great Ones, The One, and Spider Queen. "I vowed against shortcuts, rejecting your inheritance too."

"W-What?!" The One reeled in astonishment.

"You've got kids down there needing your apology," Kireina noted. "I've already claimed all I required from you, old man."

Kireina had assimilated his Legacy, now remolding it unrecognizably.

"This is MY Immortal Art!" Kireina thundered. "Immortal Blossoming Heart of Defiance: Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment!"

FLAAASH!

Her forged Immortal Art culminated via ceaseless slashes and motions, shredding reality's weave while pulverizing binding dimensions.

Spider Queen's restraining webs fragmented utterly, allowing Kireina to advance intimately close.

Her Aura erupted. Reborn as True Immortal, Kireina's essence became a Heavenly Law, etching across Reality.

All had sensed her in their Hearts previously because Immortals embody Immortal Arts as Reality's Heavenly Laws.

Thus, even should this Kireina perish, resurrection awaited from her enduring Legacy.

"HAAAAAHH!"

Her mighty roar preceded a Infinite Heavens Sword swing.

The Spider Queen shrieked. Two silk-cocooned figures writhed behind her. Massive scythes swung, meeting Kireina in savage melee.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Tsk! Damn it! Why awaken suddenly?! Remain dormant!" she bellowed wrathfully, shoving the pair into a pocket dimension.

Kireina seized the opportunity.

The One, infused in her Aura, unleashed a colossal hand. A enormous white fan materialized; Dimensional Winds tore space-time, demolishing the pocket dimension.

"Thank you for the assist!" Kireina acknowledged.
