They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 168 Golden Horn, Golden Scales' Dragon Sovereign Form

Danlei's current state of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside is physical.

The primordial energy of [Suihuang] is simply too strong. Even if it is just condensed together and slowly flowing, the energy it emits is enough to kill all the Fate Walkers below the Commander level.

Yes, Danlei is also within the scope of the killings, and is only barely holding on with the little bit of Envoy-level breeding destiny power he can use.

Moreover, Dan Lei dared not overuse the power of the Envoy-level Reproductive Destiny here.

Because if you go berserk, you're doomed.

[Suihuang] Even in his slumber, he possesses such power; once this source is activated, it will absolutely annihilate him.

Even if Skarabaz used all his power, the result would not change.

To reiterate, the fact that a tiny black hole formed from a small portion of the [Suihuang]'s energy killed Shuhu demonstrates that its power far surpasses that of ordinary Commanders.

Although Shuhu was using "Bloodstained Prison Realm" at the time and was unable to fully resist the black hole in Bai Heng's hand, his immortality still managed to wear down Teng Xiao!

Therefore, Dan Lei's protective measures were all in vain, as they were instantly pierced by the high temperature emitted by the [Suihuang]'s primordial energy.

Currently, Danlei is merely forcibly maintaining the triple effect of reversal of life, relying on the super-strong recovery power brought about by the combination of reproduction and abundant destiny to use the recovery speed to withstand the rate at which the high temperature is melting his body.

In fact, what Dan Lei didn't know was that under the immense external pressure to survive, his body was repeatedly destroyed and repaired in a short period of time, and the Triple Rebirth was constantly stimulating the potential of Dan Lei's body.

Thus, the instinct of life began to actively absorb the power of reproduction and abundance into itself, which enabled Danlei to persevere.

It can only be said that when the Immortal Dragon held power over the Ming Clan, he didn't cut corners and gave them some of his own authority.

Therefore, at the height of their power, the Vidyadharas possessed some of the power to create life.

However, the Ming tribe at that time, like the conservatives in ancient China, regarded other non-dragon races as barbarians and looked down on the people and lands of other planets.

So the clan only knew how to stay in the Tanghai Sea and play with aquatic products, without expanding into the universe.

But now, under the constant pressure of life and death, this part of Danlei's power is awakening, and solid horns have unknowingly grown on his head.

Unfortunately, under the high temperature of the [Flint Emperor], this corner looks more like a protruding piece of charcoal.

But Dan Lei still stubbornly endured the high temperature, controlling himself to get closer to the original energy of [Suihuang].

At this point, Danlei could no longer feel the pain in his body.

However, the closer Dan Lei got to the primordial energy of [Suihuang], the less he could perceive his own body.

Gradually, Danlei lost sensation in his hands and feet, and later, he lost sensation in his arms and legs.

This indicates a deficiency of vital energy within the body.

The reproductive potential of the Skarakabaz Envoy-class is limitless, but Danlei's own abundant potential is not.

As energy began to run out, Danlei instinctively prioritized protecting vital organs.

After all, losing limbs isn't a big deal. As long as you rest for a while and wait for the energy of your abundant destiny to recover, combined with your reproductive destiny, they can grow back instantly.

Fortunately, after sacrificing his hands and feet, Dan Lei was already very close to the primordial energy of [Suihuang].

So, Dan Lei activated his Spirit Absorption Technique and took a sip from the pure gold energy body.

The next second, Dan Lei swallowed a ball of golden energy.

Then, Danlei felt as if he had swallowed a ball of flames, which were burning fiercely in his stomach.

The next moment, Danlei felt as if he had returned to the Vidyadhara Egg.

Dan Lei felt a sudden panic, thinking: Could I really have killed myself?

Fortunately, just as Dan Lei had this thought, he felt something grab his shoulder, and then the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Soon, Danlei realized he had arrived in a large hall.

Dan Lei's mind was incredibly clear, even clearer than ever before—it felt like the level of clarity he would get from downing a hundred cups of Himeko coffee in one go without using the Six Treasures Immortal Thief!

This is a manifestation of a sudden surge in mental strength. At this moment, Dan Lei is like a 200-pound fat guy who doesn't exercise, whose physical fitness has suddenly become that of a special forces soldier. He feels like he has inexhaustible energy.

Moreover, Dan Lei could feel a golden flame burning in his dantian, as if a sage had entered his body.

However, this ball of fire has no consciousness, or rather, the consciousness is Dan Lei himself, and he can completely control its power.

In short, Dan Lei now truly feels like he's cultivating immortality in a cyberpunk world. He has the "Origin Artifact" Holy Grail in his sea of ​​consciousness, and now he even has alchemical fire in his alchemical palace.

Although he had not yet formed his Golden Core, this flame was formed from the original power of the [Suihuang], and in terms of power, it was far stronger than the so-called Dan Fire.

However, Danlei's joy at gaining new power was short-lived, as he soon heard Danzhu's voice sounding like she was wailing.
"Waaaaah~ Danlei, how could you just die like this? Didn't you say you'd be my support? Waaaaah..."

Danzhu was truly wailing here, because Danlei was now like a charred corpse, and he wasn't breathing.

Even Yun Li, who had only known Dan Lei for a week, was wiping away tears.

This was certainly not Dan Lei faking his death. [Suihuang] had no air in his body, so breathing was simply inhaling fire into his lungs.

Therefore, Danlei remained in a breath-holding mode.

Now, the respiratory tract is burned out and can't be used.

The eyes are scorched, and the pupils cannot be seen.

Heartbeat? You expect to see a heartbeat in completely carbonized skin and muscles?

It should be noted that Dan Lei's hands and feet were completely carbonized at this time, and the outside of his neck was also carbonized, making it impossible to feel his pulse.

Danlei couldn't comfort Danzhu at this moment because his mouth and tongue were also carbonized and he couldn't open them.

A mental dialogue is not yet something Dan Lei has adapted to with his surging mental power. If they were to engage in a dialogue rashly, it could easily turn into a mental shock. Dan Zhu would probably have to put on a show of "crying herself to sleep" on the spot.

Using the power of destiny to prove he wasn't dead, Dan Lei stated that given his current physical condition, it was best not to use any other powers besides the Abundant Destiny.

Otherwise, if the power of fate harms your body, you will be the one who suffers.

Actually, some people at the scene knew that Danlei was not dead.

This person is Huaiyan, who brought Danlei out of the body of [Suihuang].

However, Huaiyan sensed the same energy as [Suihuang] within Danlei's body and wondered if [Suihuang] had already taken over Danlei's body, so he didn't tell anyone else that Danlei was still alive.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to think about these things the next second.

Danlei didn't dare to communicate with Danzhu telepathically because he was afraid she couldn't handle his mental power, but Huaiyan was definitely fine.

He can act in [Suihuang]'s true dream, so even if my mental strength increases dramatically, I definitely can't compare to [Suihuang], so there's no need to worry about hurting him.

So, Dan Lei directly used his mental power to speak to Huai Yan.

"General Huaiyan, quickly tell Danzhu that I'm still alive! Are you trying to make me experience the mourning of relatives in advance?"

I'm only a little over two hundred years old, far from being dead! Please help me clear up this misunderstanding!

Dan Lei's action was tantamount to speaking to Huai Yan in a thunderous voice, completely interrupting his thoughts.

However, Huaiyan doesn't want to help Danlei clear up the misunderstanding right now.

Because once the truth is revealed, Danlei will inevitably be given a full-scale rescue, and the Zhu Ming Chiming clan will certainly not allow themselves to interrogate Danlei, the victim.

However, it would be inappropriate to send Danlei directly to the prison under the pretext of performing an autopsy, as Danlei can communicate with her using mental power.

Although he was clearly not controlling his mental energy well and could easily injure others, when pushed to the limit, who cared about such things? Therefore, after a moment's thought, Huaiyan decided to test the waters and replied using his mental energy.
"Are you [Suihuang] or Danlei?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei knew what Huai Yan was worried about, and so he said...
"Of course I am Dan Lei, but while I was inside the [Suihuang] body, I took a bite out of the [Suihuang]'s original energy with the mindset that I would bite you even if I died."

By sheer chance, I received a blessing from the Gluttonous Star God, which allows me to devour all things and transform them into my own life force.

Unexpectedly, the energy I swallowed has now taken root in my dantian, but I don't sense any soul or will within it.

In this respect, as someone who has journeyed through the path of memory, I am far more sensitive than you.

Huai Yan believed Dan Lei's words to a large extent, because Dan Lei was clearly unable to control his mental power well at the moment.

This situation might occur in ordinary years, but it is absolutely impossible for [Suihuang].

Dan Lei's mental strength is vastly different from that of [Suihuang]. To say that [Suihuang] cannot control Dan Lei's mental strength is like saying that someone who has just passed the eighth-level fitter exam has naturally shaky hands.

As for the actor playing the role of "Suihuang," that's even more impossible.

[Suihuang] Anyone who is conscious enough to know how to act would never play house with me.

It will break free of its cage in an instant and retaliate against the Immortal Boat Alliance.

You should know that because of the attack just now, the cage of [Suihuang] is now damaged. If it were to awaken now, Huaiyan would immediately order the abandonment of the Zhuming Immortal Ship and for everyone to escape.

However, the fact that Dan Lei was not controlled by the [Suihuang] does not mean that he was not influenced by the [Suihuang]. If Dan Lei later becomes a member of the [Suihuang faction] and goes to Luofu to develop his power using the [Suihuang], there will be endless troubles in the future.

Therefore, Huaiyan spoke frankly again.

“I believe you don’t have the [Suihuang] in your body, but how can you prove that you haven’t been affected by the [Suihuang]? If you become a [Suihuang faction], the damage you cause may not be weaker than the [Suihuang] itself.”

Dan Lei really couldn't prove this, because Huai Yan was questioning Dan Lei about something that hadn't happened, which was impossible to refute.

However, this was Huaiyan's duty, and he had to do everything in his power to ensure that [Suihuang] would not awaken.

Normally, the best way to dispel such suspicion is through long-term surveillance and observation.

But Danlei would definitely not accept this approach.

So Danlei chose another approach.

After Huaiyan raised the question, Danlei racked his brains and applied all the swear words he knew from his three lifetimes, whether metaphorical or not, to the name "Suihuang".

He used his mental energy to curse for a full three hours, to the point that Huaiyan began to suspect that the Luofu Chiming Clan had opened a course that specifically taught people how to curse, otherwise where would Danlei get so many tricks up his sleeve?

However, this did clear Danlei of suspicion, because the [Suihuang Faction] has always shared a common characteristic.

That is to believe from the bottom of one's heart that [Suihuang] can become a god.

These people are fine with cursing "Suihuang" a few times out of necessity, but it's simply impossible for them to curse for three hours straight without making a sound.

It should be noted that Dan Lei's cursing was full of emotion, unlike Sui Yang's emotional manipulation.

Therefore, Huaiyan finally believed Danlei and interrupted him.

"Stop cursing, I believe you're not a member of the [Suihuang Faction] now."

If the Emperor Sui were to awaken, the first thing he would do with your mouth would be to destroy it, with the way you curse.

"Alright, you get some rest. I'll explain that you're still alive."

However, three hours had passed by then, and even Danzhu was exhausted from crying. She had probably already decided where to bury Danlei.

As for Danlei, his Abundant Fate Power has almost fully recovered, and he can now revive on the spot.

Dan Lei then replied using his mental power.

"No need, my strength has been restored. I can just perform a resurrection on the spot now."

After Dan Lei finished speaking, he activated the Reverse Rebirth Technique, and the echoes intertwined: the Rejuvenating Spores were activated again, and his body immediately emitted terrifying fluctuations of destiny energy.

As soon as the energy fluctuations of their destinies appeared, Danzhu and Yunli instantly went from sorrow to joy.

The next second, the charcoal on Dan Lei's body made a series of "crackling" sounds and began to crack and fall off rapidly.

Dan Lei's body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon all the charred parts on his body cracked and fell off.

Then, Dan Lei pretended to have just woken up and got up to say...
"That was close, that was close, I almost really died."

Fortunately, this Reincarnation Turtle Breathing Technique worked.

After speaking, Dan Lei deliberately glanced at the three people around him, then cupped his hands in thanks to Huai Yan.

"General Huaiyan, it was you who saved me in time."

"I am deeply grateful and will not thank you enough. If Zhu Ming ever needs my help in the future, please do not hesitate to ask."

Huaiyan immediately understood why Danlei was putting on this show.

Because the two of them had been arguing for three hours without informing Danzhu and Yunli, they knew they would definitely suffer the consequences after their initial joy.

Danzhu won't make any moves now, but he will definitely cause trouble for Danlei later to avenge the "scare" he received.

He would definitely make a few sarcastic remarks towards Huaiyan as well.

If Yun Li knew that Huai Yan had deliberately kept Dan Lei's existence a secret, causing her to grieve for three hours for nothing, then his beard would probably be in serious trouble.

If it were Danlei, she would definitely put on a cold face every day to show that she was very angry.

Therefore, Huaiyan very cooperatively said...
"Danlei, you don't need to do this."

Your attack on Zhu Ming was originally my responsibility.

"You survived mainly thanks to your Reincarnation Turtle Breathing Technique. You should know, I just thought you were dead too."

Upon hearing Huaiyan's words, Danlei immediately cursed inwardly, "Old fox."

With these words, Huaiyan completely absolved himself of the situation that had just occurred.

Next, Danlei would have to figure out a way to complete this Reincarnation Breathing Technique himself.

Even if things don't work out in the end, there's no way to drag Huaiyan down with them anymore.

Fortunately, Danzhu wasn't concerned about the Reincarnation Turtle Breathing Technique at all; instead, he covered his mouth in surprise and said...

"Dan Lei, your body and your head... have you really become the Dragon Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei quickly cast a Water Mirror spell to examine himself.

Then Danlei saw two sharp, double-toothed horns growing on his forehead, their color the same dark gold as the imaginary energy.

At the same time, his hands, feet, and even chest were covered with a layer of dark golden scales.

Except for lacking the Dragon Balls and the Dragon Tail, Dan Lei is now in the form of a golden-horned, golden-scaled dragon.

At this moment, Dan Lei realized that his Reverse Rebirth technique seemed to have successfully broken through to the second level.

So Danlei temporarily stopped practicing to observe the changes in his body.

As a result, the golden scales on its body disappeared, but the dragon horns remained.

This proves that the horn was not generated by the reverse three-life cycle, but rather that it truly grew on its own.
