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

Chapter 216: Pointing East and Attacking West, the Divine Lord's Most Flexible Episode

At the edge of the barrier between Danlei and the Illusory Battlefield, as the world inside exploded, Fu Xuan and Qing Que were covered in sweat.

What Dan Lei didn't know was that shortly after he and Huanlong officially started their war, the intelligence control over the Immortal Ship was lifted.

Currently, communication has been fully restored in all areas of Luofu except for the Boyue Ancient Sea and the vicinity of Dandingsi, which are still affected by the star core.

Then, all sorts of top-level communications from the Alliance and other Immortal Ships flooded into the Divine Strategy Palace.

To prevent Iron Tomb from discovering in advance that the Immortal Boat Alliance already knew about the situation in Luofu, these communications were all inquiry communications.

But Qingzu, Jingyuan's best strategist, immediately spotted the problem.

However, in Qingzu's eyes at this moment, Jingyuan and Danlei had both lost contact.

Fortunately, he was truly capable and remained calm in the face of danger, and went directly to find Fu Xuan, the current "third person" of Luofu.

Fu Xuan maintained the barrier at its edge, so she received the relevant information as soon as communication was restored.

Before Qingzu contacted her, Heita had already come to inquire about Danlei's situation.

Knowing that the Iron Tomb had been dealt with, Fu Xuan naturally informed the family about the situation inside the barrier. Otherwise, Dan Lei's family would have brought a group of formidable friends to Luofu to look for him.

At that time, Danlei and Huanlong were still at an impasse, so Heita didn't say much and withdrew after learning about it.

When Qingzhu came looking for them, it was during a great collision between heaven and earth within the barrier.

This explosion was a full-blown blast from the impact of an Envoy-level attack (mainly the explosion of Huanlong's [Hanging Star Shattered Moon]). Even with the energy supply from the Gongzao Si Cave Heaven, the barrier was still teetering on the brink of collapse. Fu Xuan and Qing Que had to do their utmost to maintain it and stabilize it.

Because once the barrier breaks, Huanlong will escape, and it will be extremely difficult to stop her from there.

Therefore, Fu Xuan only sent a message to Qingzu through his third eye, informing him that Jingyuan and Danlei were handling important matters normally, without replying further.

A few minutes later, as the dust from the explosion inside the barrier gradually settled, the situation inside became clear again.

Huanlong was the first to be revealed, after all, she was the largest.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on a huge golden lotus. Her left arm, which had been blown apart, had recovered, but she was noticeably smaller, proving that she was not unscathed in this conflict.

The second to be revealed is the Starry Sky Train Group.

The four were protected by a triple shield: a water shield, an ice shield, and a star's protective shield.

Walter had temporarily exhausted his life force due to the supermassive black hole he had just encountered, and was now being protected by the three little ones.

The four appeared unharmed, but the depletion of their life force was considerable.

Then came Mirror Stream and Blade, who rose from the ashes of the explosion.

They were the ones who withstood the aftershocks of the explosion by using the power of their own destiny and their own bodies.

Jingliu seemed to be in good condition; his clothes were still intact, and a cold current circulated around him, indicating that his life-protecting barrier had not been broken.

Blade looked rather pathetic; his shirt and pants were completely ripped and torn, and even the bandages underneath had been destroyed by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Apart from his underwear, which was supposed to be "absolutely indestructible," he was practically draped in a tattered cloth, revealing a body covered in scars.

However, the wounds on Blade's body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he himself had become accustomed to various injuries, so he was clearly ready to fight again.

The only one left who hadn't appeared was Dan Lei, who would have to face Huanlong's [Hanging Star Shattering Moon] head-on.

On March 7th, no one cared about the fact that Dan Heng had actually developed a second form and had been slacking off before. He anxiously asked the others...
"Where's Danlei? Why didn't he stand up?"

Xing and Danheng remained silent in response to this question.

Having witnessed countless sacrifices and departures, Walter silently replied.
"I saw before the explosion that Huanlong's attack hit Danlei head-on..."

Walter's meaning was self-evident, but Huanlong, as their opponent, interjected at this moment.

"My benefactors, there is an old saying on the Immortal Ship: 'A scourge lives for a thousand years.'"

Mr. Danlei is someone who embraces destruction; he won't die so easily, won't he, Mr. Danlei, who's pretending to be dead?

After saying that, Huanlong once again unleashed a finger-flicking lightning bolt, striking a pile of rubble on the ground.

Then, a giant sun, about three meters in diameter, appeared in front of the rubble and blocked the attack.

This Great Sun was clearly something Dan Lei had taken while Huanlong's left arm was broken, and he had stolen Huanlong's original flame.

So Danlei stopped pretending and burst out of the rubble, flying into the air once more.

However, after taking a direct hit from Huanlong's [Suspended Star Shattered Moon], Danlei's condition was arguably the worst in the entire match.

There was no other way; at that time, Dan Lei was surrounded by the Destruction Path of the Commander-level, making it impossible for him to activate the Displacement Magic.

The Holy Grail teleportation is instantaneous, but you still get bombed on the way back.

The Jade Barrier Shield is not that sturdy against a real Envoy's attack, especially since Illusionary Cloud has been charging up its power for a long time.

Therefore, Danlei could only choose the intertwined path of reproduction and survival: attaching the fungal carpet to shield himself and trying to withstand the attack.

The good news is that while Illusionary Origin's move is very powerful, it lacks sustainability. Overall, it has enough explosive power, but its destructive power is not as great as the indiscriminate energy impact of the [Suihuang] source.

In the end, Dan Lei was only blown up into a stick-like shape with only the roots of his limbs remaining.

Of course, while in the pile of stones, Danlei used magic to change his pants to avoid walking his bird out directly.

Therefore, after emerging, Dan Lei, whose life force had not been greatly depleted, displayed a recovery ability even more terrifying than Ren's.

Echoes intertwined: With the blessing of the spores, Danlei's limbs grew back in an instant.

Moreover, Danlei is now covered in golden scales, and his fingers and toes have turned into dragon claws, making him even more ferocious than his original human form.

Watching this scene, Huanlong couldn't help but sigh.

"It is said that the miracle of abundance can quickly restore the physical body."

I think this immortal power is quite good, perhaps even better.

"Dan Lei, your regenerative abilities... how much of the true essence of immortality have you acquired?"

In response to Huanlong's question, Danlei pointed his two swords, Zhuxian and Luxian, at his side and answered...

"I have grasped a fraction of the true meaning of immortality; why don't you experience it for yourself and you'll know?"

However, just as Dan Lei finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

A massive, fiery furnace fell from the sky and crashed directly into the barrier.

Everyone present, including Huanlong, was stunned for a moment.

Dan Lei recognized it at a glance as the Creation Furnace.

But how did this thing fall from the sky?
Dan Lei subconsciously thought that the Jianmu root system had erupted, and that the furnace had been blown away by the Jianmu roots.

But looking around, the construction site was perfectly fine, without a single tree root.

Who threw this furnace of creation over here?

However, Dan Lei soon found out the answer.

Suddenly, the lid of the Creation Furnace, which hadn't been broken even when smashed to the ground, opened.

Only then did Dan Lei realize that there was someone next to the Furnace of Creation!
This person was none other than Yu Luo, who was possessed by Xing Xiao.

She naturally knew immediately that the Iron Tomb's program had been breached.

Realizing that Luo Fu might also be targeting Huan Long, Xing Xiao made a snap decision: he couldn't keep up the act and rushed to the Workshop to support Huan Long.

All the major powers in the universe know that Star Howl rose from the ashes of the infinitely long-lived Allied Commander.

Therefore, Xingxiao possesses many abilities that are only found among the Symbiotic Commanders. Among these are the ability to modulate himself, blending into his surroundings to reduce his presence.

This move is comparable to the Aura Concealment A of a Heroic Spirit.

Therefore, with the Creation Furnace distracting him, Dan Lei failed to notice Xing Xiao immediately.

However, by opening the Creation Furnace, Xingxiao essentially removed his aura concealment.

When Xingxiao appeared, the Starry Sky Train crew and Jingliu and the others were probably still a little confused.

However, Danlei, Jingyuan, and Huanlong had already realized that the battle situation had changed.

When the Furnace of Creation was opened, Huanlong rushed straight to the furnace opening without saying a word.

Inside, Suiyang cheered for his freedom, and the first thing he saw upon rushing out was Huanlong, who was filled with desire for them.

It should be noted that Huanlong suffered heavy losses of his primordial flames in this ambush.

Dan Lei snatched it twice, especially the second time, when he almost took one-twentieth of the primordial flame.

With so many flames, Huanlong said that relying on absorbing the spiritual energy of other creatures to grow naturally would take him a thousand years to make up for it.

In this situation, the only option is to sacrifice one's companions and use the essence of the Creation Furnace to replenish oneself.

Therefore, Suiyang, who was just released from the furnace of creation, was like a dinosaur that was swallowed whole by Huanlong with a "whoosh".

Faced with this situation, Danlei was completely helpless.

Yu Luo was clearly possessed by Xing Xiao; otherwise, with her power, she would have been roasted as soon as she got close to the Furnace of Creation.

With the two Great Lords of Annihilation united, Dan Lei dared not make a move rashly.

Fortunately, Jing Yuan finally unleashed his ultimate move after holding back for so long.

Just as Huanlong was enjoying his meal with his companions.

A colossal deity, at least ten times larger than Huanlong's original form, instantly burst through the barrier and appeared within the Bureau of Works.

To be precise, what appears now is no longer a divine ruler, but the true Divine Firmament Thunder Palace Chief Commander, the Demon-Chasing and Obscuring Heavenly Lord.

It can only be said that Jing Yuan's power over such a long period of time was not wasted.

After the Divine Lord appeared, the entire Gongzao Si Cave Heaven was instantly covered by heavenly lightning. No matter which way Xingxiao and Huanlong ran, they couldn't escape.

Xingxiao and Huanlong realized that Jingyuan's fatal attack was something they absolutely could not withstand head-on; whoever tried to take it would die.

As the saying goes, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

As colleagues, Xingxiao and Huanlong can only help each other to the best of their ability; expecting them to sacrifice their lives for each other is wishful thinking.

Without saying a word, Huanlong shrunk his body to the size of an ordinary person, stepped on a golden lotus and flew away amidst the heavenly thunder, intending to escape from the Gongzao Si Cave Heaven.

Xingxiao then chose to abandon Yuluo's body, and her fairy-like white body appeared and rose into the air.

Clearly, Jingyuan's Divine Lord can only use the array blade to attack either Xingxiao or Huanlong.

If you try to catch them all, you'll most likely end up missing none.

Therefore, Jing Yuan's choice was very clear: Xing Xiao.

Jing Yuan hadn't forgotten that, just a jump away from Luofu, Xingxiao's army was waiting in ambush.

Judging from the battle between Huanlong and Danlei, the fighting power of this Extinction Army is really a bit weak.

It's normal that she couldn't defeat Dan Lei and his group in a short time, after all, Dan Lei and his group were not to be underestimated, and they also had the advantage of terrain.

However, it was somewhat shameful that Dan Lei and his group had managed to steal a portion of his essence.

When Jing Yuan saw that Dan Lei could instantly regenerate severed limbs, he even thought that if Dan Lei could keep fighting like this, he might actually be able to lead Jing Liu and the others to once again accomplish the feat of killing a Commander without being a Commander.

Therefore, Jingyuan believed that although it would be difficult to find Huanlong again after she ran away, she would not dare to show her face casually.

Because with her strength, if she doesn't have other envoys to help her, she will be ganged up on and beaten if she shows her face, and she will definitely lose.

Her best outcome would be to escape Luofu in a sorry state; otherwise, if she were found out, Luofu wouldn't mind creating another Creation Furnace to house the Suiyang that had been scattered after she was destroyed.

Now, as long as Starscream is eliminated, the threat from the outer antimatter legion fleet will be greatly reduced.

The crisis at Luofu was naturally resolved.

Jingyuan's judgment and choice here are correct.

But he really underestimated Xingxiao's ability to save his life.

Although she possessed the jade pendant in her true form this time, it would still be very easy for her to escape.

The fastest way is to directly possess another eligible candidate, and there is one of those eligible candidates in the waiting army.

Therefore, Xingxiao's true form instantly disappeared from Luofu, and the Divine Lord's array blade was about to pierce through empty air, completely destroying Yuluo's physical body.

Fortunately, Jing Yuan has held the title of God for more than a year or two; nearly eight hundred years has been enough time for him to control the God with complete ease.

The instant Xingxiao disappeared, Jingyuan immediately manipulated the Divine Lord to switch targets.

Huanlong had already relaxed her guard, because she saw that Jingyuan had chosen Xingxiao as his target.

But in the next instant, the Divine Lord's array blade, wrapped in terrifying hunting lightning, changed from a downward thrust to a horizontal throw, directly aimed at the fleeing Huanlong.

Huanlong was so frightened when the array blades were pointed at him that he almost lost his soul and immediately tried to dodge.

However, Dan Lei suddenly appeared near Huanlong using a substitution magic spell and immediately used the Spirit Binding Technique.

Huanlong was horrified to discover that her body was bound by Danlei.

Although you could break free in less than a second with all your might, that one second could be fatal.

Just as Dan Lei was controlling Huanlong, the array blade thrown by the Divine Lord struck her head-on.

Huanlong was only the size of an ordinary person at the time, and was instantly swallowed up by the enormous array blade.

The next second, a green "sun" appeared in the sky above Dan Ding Si.

This is precisely the true form of Huanlong's Suiyang.

Then the "sun" rapidly expanded and exploded, turning into a sky full of green fire rain, igniting the entire Gongzaosi Cave Heaven.

Seeing this, Dan Lei naturally braved the rain of fire to snatch Huanlong's flames.

However, as soon as Dan Lei made his move, he discovered that all the illusory flames that had fallen to the ground were rushing towards him.

Dan Lei immediately sensed that Huan Long was about to resort to desperate measures; she might want all the flames to flood her body in an attempt to possess someone else's body.

Without hesitation, Dan Lei used a displacement magic trick to leave the area and headed straight for Jing Yuan, who had already appeared.

However, Danlei guessed wrong here.

The target of the Illusory Flame was the Suiyang Flame that had become Dan Lei's soul.

When the yang and yang energies merge, regardless of who absorbs whom, the one with stronger spiritual power takes control of the body.

The Suiyang Flame that Dan Lei seized from Huanlong has not yet formed consciousness. Although it is under Dan Lei's control, Huanlong can still reassemble its form once it merges with it.
