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

Chapter 221 Threatening Huanlong with Jianmu

Dan Lei didn't have much to say about Huanlong taking over Yuluo's body. With the attitude of saving her if possible, he summoned the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Although Danlei can only wield a maximum of two swords at a time during combat, he can control four swords when he brandishes them as a show of force before a battle.

Huanlong had experienced the power of three of these four swords and knew that they were all divine weapons capable of effectively damaging his energy body.

However, not wanting to lose face, Huanlong still tried to gain the upper hand verbally.

"For a dignified Dragon Lord to wield a weapon of destructive power, is it implying that the power of immortality is inferior to destruction?"

This question is full of traps; a normal answer will offend both sides.

However, Dan Lei wasn't fooled and laughed directly.

"Huanlong, you are too heartless."

Don't you recognize these four swords as your old colleagues?

This sword was forged primarily from the bones of the Zhuluo, and naturally it wields the power of destruction.

These remains were given to me by one of the sea patrol knights who annihilated Zhu Luo back then.

This is the biggest scar the antimatter legion has suffered since its inception.

It makes perfect sense for me to forge it into a sword to inflict even greater wounds on the antimatter legion, doesn't it?"

After saying that, Dan Lei withdrew the Two Heavenly Dragons and activated the Echoing Intertwined again: drawing his bow in preparation, but this time using the Immortal-Slaying Sword as the arrow.

Normally, you shouldn't use the Immortal-Slaying Sword to fight Huanlong. The Suiyang Clan is known as the Essence of Starfire, and as the name suggests, they have naturally high fire resistance.

However, Dan Lei stepped back, moving behind Dan Heng and Walter, and aimed his sword arrow at the Jianmu tree, which was far at the end of the Lin Yuan Realm.

Then, without turning his head, he loudly said...

"Huanlong, you have two seconds to get out of Yuluo's body."

I can guess that the reason you still refuse to leave Luofu is because you have some unrealistic ambitions regarding Jianmu.

Back then, the Emperor's Bow, with the power of the [Suihuang], destroyed the Jianmu tree with a single shot. Now, I combine the power of immortality, destruction, and the Suihuang, and I can do the same.

In any case, after I shoot this, you definitely won't get what you want.

Therefore, your only option is to come out of Yu Luo's body to block this sword, and use the time I spend healing Yu Luo to rush to Jianmu.

Of course, you can gamble that my power won't affect your goals.

Come, Huanlong, make your choice.

As he spoke, Dan Lei concentrated all his power into the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, clearly leaving no room for him to release his power midway.

Dan Lei was making a final effort for Yu Luo, otherwise he would have no choice but to kill his own kind.

Dan Lei knew that given Yu Luo's current situation, no one would blame him if he killed her.

After all, we can't just let the Annihilation Army, Huanlong, attack at will just to protect Yuluo.

But this would fulfill Huanlong's desire to personally kill his innocent compatriots.

Huanlong was happy, but Danlei was not.

Since that's the case, then nobody should be happy.

By attacking the Jianmu tree, it's impossible for it to cause no damage at all. This would also provide a reason for the disappearance of the Jianmu fruit, making it a win-win situation.

As for Huanlong, it depends on whether she thinks it's more important for Danlei to kill the innocent Yuluo, or for the Jianmu fruit to be more important.

There's really no need to ask this question.

Huanlong's scheme in Luofu actually had two objectives.

First, we need to see if the Immortal Boat Alliance has any chance of disintegrating from within, and whether we can use the hunting expedition to make some plans in the future.

Luo Fu has already proven its combat strength in this regard, and its internal contradictions are quite obvious.

Huanlong believed that as long as Luofu could pass the test of the Star Roar Army, it would be an absolutely sharp blade.

Although it's not in my own hands, it's worthwhile to guide it carefully.

The second is the fruit of the Jianmu tree.

Although Huanlong is the Destroyer of Annihilation, she is actually terrified of destruction.

The material clearly states the following regarding the "Regret of Endless Illusions":
No matter how many bodies Huanlong seizes, it can never get what it wants.

Like those who seek elixirs of immortality, it longs for an eternal body, free from the fear of destruction.

“I have witnessed countless worlds consumed by the flames of the Creator God, and I was one of those flames. I danced with His fingertips, yet knew full well that when the fuel was exhausted, the flame would also be extinguished…”

This statement is a true reflection of the illusory mindset.

It can only be said that 99% of those who seek abundance are afraid of death.

Huanlong was like this, and so were the Immortal Boat people who were medicine seekers in their early years.

Therefore, compared to the Jianmu fruit, which has the potential to become his perfect body, and the Yuluo that stimulates Dan Lei's heart and sows the seeds of fratricide, the latter is completely insignificant.

Without saying a word, Huanlong unleashed a ball of destructive flames at Danlei's back.

Upon seeing this, Dan Heng's right hand revealed the Chongyuan Pearl, and a huge azure water dragon appeared out of thin air around him before rushing towards Huanlong's destructive flames.

The water and fire clashed, producing a constant hissing sound, until the two attacks eventually canceled each other out.

This shows how weak Huanlong is right now.

Having lost a third of her original essence, and being unable to use her full strength in her possessed state, she was further weakened, making it possible for Dan Heng's non-full-force attacks to negate her attacks.

Seeing that he couldn't break through Dan Heng and Walter's defenses in a short time by attacking Dan Lei from behind in this position, Huanlong decisively dispelled Yu Luo's possession.

Moreover, she did not choose to burn Yu Luo's physical body when she was freed from possession.

Because Danlei's reminder was correct, Yuluo is alive, and Danlei's treatment of her can buy him some time.

If Yu Luo were to die, not only would Dan Lei not be forced to kill his own kind, but he would also have another reason for revenge, and his hunting destiny power would be enhanced.

After Huanlong made his move, Dan Lei knew that his plan had succeeded.

Without hesitation, he once again fused the three strange flames—Destruction, [Suihuang], and Yiyan—and shot the Juexian Sword toward the Jianmu tree.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword did not possess the extraordinary ability of the Immortal-Slaying Sword to traverse time and space, but with the enhancement of the three different flames and the power of [Drawing the Bow in Waiting], its speed was so fast that others only saw a flash of three-colored flames before a fiery meteor was already falling towards the Jianmu tree.

However, when Huanlong is in his true form and spewing flames at full power, his speed is quite astonishing.

Visible to the naked eye, a ball of green flame rapidly caught up with the fire meteor shot by Dan Lei from behind, and then the two collided and exploded violently in the sky above Lin Yuan Realm.

We won't go into Huanlong's current situation, as he took another direct hit from Danlei's sword.

At Dan Ding Si's place, after Dan Lei fired the sword arrow, he used magic to pull Yu Luo's body to his front.

First she was possessed by Xingxiao, then by Huanlong. Two great lords of annihilation served her alone, yet she is still alive with her body intact. It's hard to say whether to call her unlucky or lucky.

However, even though Xingxiao and Huanlong didn't intentionally damage Yuluo's body, the traces of destruction they left behind were enough to cause Yuluo a lot of trouble.

Without saying a word, Dan Lei poured his life force into Yu Luo's body to save her life.

Having been possessed by two Great Lords of Annihilation, her body is a unique, one-of-a-kind case in the universe.

Dan Lei's current life force is abnormally strong; he filled the jade net to the point where she couldn't absorb any more, yet she didn't feel much. Afterwards, Dan Lei handed the jade net to Xue Yi and said...

"Send her to the Ten Kings' Division and find a physician to take good care of her."

After finishing, Dan Lei released the Abundant Black Deer again, which spawned a batch of wood saplings to block the illusory soldiers who had lost control of Illusion and started charging mindlessly.

Then he said to He Tian, ​​the captain of the Guardians of the Pearl, Haiyue Team One.
"He Tian, ​​this battlefield is now in your hands."

After eliminating these illusory troops, we will recapture the core area of ​​the Dan Ding Division and then go directly to support the Fu Tai Bu troops attacking from the Gong Zao Division.

Remember, proceed cautiously and steadily, and strive to complete the mission quickly while minimizing casualties.

Upon hearing this, He Tian dared not be negligent and immediately bowed and replied, "Yes!"

He then immediately went into action, commanding the Jin troops and the guards to fight against the illustrious soldiers.

The illusory soldiers here are just temporary concoctions put together by Huanlong to bolster their strength; they are not very powerful, except for one who is fearless and undaunted.

As soon as the two sides made contact, half of the pawns were easily dispatched by the Jin soldiers' soul-reaping envoys.

After handing over command of the site, Dan Lei released Skarakabaz's spirit and spoke to the Star Train crew.
“Huanlong is not dead yet, and is heading towards Jianmu Xuangen Cave. You come up, we have to catch up with him immediately.”

Upon hearing this, the four members of the train crew did not dare to delay and immediately jumped onto Skarakabaz's back.

After the train crew boarded, Dan Lei controlled Skarakabaz to transform into a blue lightning bolt and head straight for the Jianmu Xuangen Cave.

This time, Danlei completely disregarded passenger comfort in pursuit of speed.

The wind was howling all the way, and everyone was keeping their bodies low to the ground to keep out the wind. No one spoke.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Jianmu Xuangen Cave, Dan Lei instructed Skarakabaz to slow down and descend.

At this moment, what was displayed before everyone was a phantom image of a divine dragon.

After pausing slightly, March 7th pointed at the illusory figure and asked...
"Danlei, Danheng, what's that! Is it a dragon?"

Dan Heng clearly understood this issue better than Dan Lei, so he answered directly.

"This is the Jianmu Mystic Root Grotto Heaven, the place of abundant miracles."

Suppressed by the dragon's power, the mysterious root of the Jianmu tree here took the form of a dragon-shaped burl.

After speaking, Dan Heng turned to Dan Lei and asked...

"Danlei, you just said you can destroy the Jianmu tree, is that true?"

In response to this question, Dan Lei carefully put away the Immortal-Slaying Sword he had just retrieved from the Scaled Abyss Realm and shook his head.

"Of course it's fake."

When the Emperor's Bow destroyed the Jianmu tree, it was with the full support of the [Suihuang].

In this way, he used his own life to gather all the power of the [Suihuang] to shoot the arrow that destroyed the Jianmu tree.

After that arrow, [Suihuang] has been asleep ever since. Although Zhu Mingxianzhou intentionally controlled it, the excessive consumption of its power at that time was also one of the reasons.

My power is but a drop in the ocean compared to [Suihuang], and it is impossible for me to destroy Jianmu.

Even if Jing Yuan came, it would be the same; even if he suppressed the divine lord to the point of bursting, he still wouldn't be able to destroy the Jianmu.

However, my power is enough to fool the illusion.

She was unaware of the details of what happened back then, and as a Suiyang, she held a much greater sense of awe for the power of [Suihuang] than we did.

My [Suihuang] Source Fire and [Suihuang] originate from the same source, so there's no way she wouldn't be able to sense it.

Coupled with the destructive power of Zhuluo and the blessing of another strange fire she didn't understand, she dared not gamble if she had any desire for the Jianmu tree.

After Danlei finished speaking, Walter pushed up his glasses and said...
"So, you deliberately lured the decisive battle to this Jianmu Xuangen Cave Heaven?"

Dan Lei simply smiled and answered the question.
"It can't be said to be intentional."

I originally intended to have a final battle at the Dan Ding Si.

However, I changed my mind when I thought of using Jianmu to threaten Huanlong.

The previous battle with Huanlong had already dismantled the Construction Bureau. If they dismantle the Pill Cauldron Bureau as well, Luofu's logistics would be completely ruined.

Moreover, if one is not careful, it could affect the nearby Wave Moon Ancient Sea.

Luo Fu still has to fight the Xingxiao army. The military and logistics are basically ruined. If the medical and logistics are also ruined, then there is no way to fight.

Therefore, the Jianmu Mystic Root Cave is a good choice. It contains the root system of the Jianmu tree, so even if it is completely destroyed, it will not be a problem.

However, the aftershocks of our battle will most likely not damage the root system of the Jianmu tree, so there's no need to worry about actually destroying the cave.

Danlei said this, and Walter nodded, indicating that he accepted the explanation.

However, whether March 7th sensed something was wrong or simply acted without thinking, he directly asked...
"That doesn't make sense. Since Danlei knows that Huanlong's target is in this Jianmu Xuangen Cave Heaven, aren't you afraid that letting her in will allow her to achieve her goal?"

Dan Lei was naturally not afraid of this problem, because the Jianmu fruit had already been transferred.

According to reports, Sasaki Kojiro and Li Tongchen have secretly delivered one mature Jianmu Fruit and one semi-mature Jianmu Fruit to the small house in Jinren Lane that Dan Lei hasn't returned to for decades, and they are guarding it there.

Huanlong went inside and saw that the Jianmu fruit was gone; he'd probably be devastated.

However, on the surface, Danlei still needed to appear a little nervous.

Regarding the question about March 7th, the answer was direct.

"I'm gambling too."

Du Huanlong stayed at the Dan Ding Si instead of going directly to the Jianmu Xuangen Cave Heaven because the conditions for achieving her goal were not yet ripe.

It will take time for Dou Huanlong to achieve his goal.

Therefore, we must immediately enter the Jianmu Xuangen Cave Heaven, regardless of what Huanlong intends to do.

Even if she only goes in to relieve herself and fertilize the tree roots, we must stop her.

Having said all that, Dan Lei naturally wouldn't ask any more questions to delay the time.

In reality, the Jianmu Xuangen Cave Heaven has been invaded by an insider and has been placed into the star core, so there is no need to perform complicated operations to remove the seal of the cave heaven before entering.

Dan Lei led the train crew directly into the cave.

Upon entering the Jianmu Mystic Root Cave Heaven, before the group could even take in the enormous Jianmu root system that almost filled the entire space, they heard Huanlong's voice, as she muttered to herself.

Why? How could this happen?
Where are the Jianmu fruits? Why aren't there any? There should be at least one!
Could there be errors in the ancient records of the Medicine King's secret teachings?
That's impossible. I learned all this from an ancient medicine king's secret disciple outside the immortal ship.

"No, there are cut marks here! Thief! Thief! Someone stole the Jianmu Fruit!"

After saying that, Huanlong also sensed that Danlei and the others had entered the cave.

So, Huanlong only manifested its head, its body still in flame form, and charged towards Danlei and the others, roaring at Danlei.

"Danlei! What's going on? Where did the fruit from the Jianmu tree go?"
Did you steal from your own post?

Do you know how serious a crime it is to steal the fruit of the Jianmu tree?

You'd better hand over the fruit immediately, or you won't be able to gain a foothold in the Immortal Ship Alliance!

　The term "sword arrow" in this article is correct; arrows made from swords are called "sword arrows," so there's nothing wrong with that.
