Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Heh, a vicious dragon is a vicious dragon. Compared to the life and death of the entire Chiming clan, even if there are several, let alone one, what does it matter?" Ao Shun smiled coldly and looked up at Ao Guang who was perched on a towering stone pillar. "Brother, don't you agree?"

"..."

Ao Guang was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "...Indeed, nothing is more important than the continuation of our clan. If I were this Dragon Lord, I would do the same."

He and the former Dragon Lord held equal status within their respective tribes, and Ao Guang fully understood the heavy burden on his shoulders...

What they shouldered wasn't simply their personal future, but the future of an entire race. Compared to a failed attempt, a distant and doomed bleak future was what he found most difficult to accept.

"But I remember the order on the Immortal Ship prohibiting this kind of research, right?" Ao Qin leaned forward and asked, "This is a serious matter. Shouldn't we inform the general before doing this?"

"...Haha, inform?" Ao Shun glanced at his brother coldly. "If you're going to do it, why bother informing? If the general doesn't allow it, will you not do it?"

"This..." Ao Qin was speechless for a moment and retracted his head in shame.

"Along the way, the group eliminated several more assassins and soon encountered a mirage of a female voice."

"This Mirage is the former Chief of Alchemy of the Immortal Boat. She is quite familiar with Bai Lu. Her vivid tone and demeanor have made Bai Lu think several times that she is here to capture her."

"However, after sensing the aura of Dragon Lord within Dan Heng, he, like the previous mirage, mistook him for Dan Feng."

"Facing Danfeng, Shenying excitedly said, "Master Danfeng, I finally understand your good intentions. That little girl is the key to the magic of dragon transformation! My research has made significant progress!"

"Master Danfeng, your changes to the Dragon Transformation Technique have certainly created a destructive dragon, but they have also created a brand new life! This is the hope for the Chiming Clan to thrive again!"

"Let the Chiming tribe reproduce again?" Xing frowned slightly, realizing that the matter was not simple.

"My previous understanding of 'reproduction' was limited by the imagination of ordinary people. How narrow-minded it was! The reproduction of the Vajra Clan does not necessarily require the continuation of the clan's bloodline..."

"Unleashing the potential of dragon blood and incorporating other races into the dragon bloodline—isn't this the very purpose of the Dragon Transformation Technique?" Mirage's voice rose a few notches. "Dragon Masters are so short-sighted that they can't see your extraordinary talent and yet they still want to establish a new Dragon Lord. How foolish!"

"Including alien races in the ranks of the Chiming?" Qian Yuyouzhen's eyes widened in surprise. "This Dragon Lord is truly... uh, how should I put it? Taking a different approach?"

"...Should we call him a daring genius, right?" Yue Chengliu's eyes dimmed. "Perhaps the appearance of the evil dragon completely exceeded Danfeng's expectations... In his plan, the Dragon Transformation Technique should have created an ordinary dragon, not a destructive evil dragon. There must have been a mistake somewhere, which led to the 'Drinking Moon Rebellion'."

"Even he himself couldn't pinpoint the problem with the modified 'Dragon Transformation Technique'... so that's why he's unwilling to hand it over to the Dragon Masters, right?"

"Sister Liu, Dan Feng has already caused the 'Drinking Moon Rebellion', do you still think he is a qualified Dragon Lord?" Qian Yu Youzhen asked.

"Haha, Yuma... I'm just an ordinary clerk in the Air Defense Department. You want me to judge a Dragon Lord in the universe?" Yue Chengliu smiled faintly and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "How can I be qualified... But if you really want to know, then my answer is undoubtedly yes."

"...Even if he ultimately causes disaster, it does not in the least diminish his greatness."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"...He's not just a Dragon Lord, but one of the 'Five Heroes of the Clouds.' To be on par with General Jing Yuan... I bet those five must have accomplished something truly remarkable to become legends of the past, right?"

"But there's one thing I'm not entirely sure of... who exactly did Dan Feng use the Dragon Transformation Technique on back then," Yue Chengliu pondered. "The only thing I can think of is the fox-man pilot who only existed in Jing Yuan's memories and was mentioned once by him. He was also one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds."

"I wasn't entirely sure before, but seeing the extremely high mortality rate of Yukong and his group of pilots, where only one in ten survived, I think... the target of the Dragon Transformation Technique is most likely this person."

-

"The group continued forward and encountered a young female mirage at a corner."

Sensing Bai Lu's presence, she panicked, "Miss Bai Lu, how did you end up in my prescription? Could it be that you already know about the Medicine King... and are here to accuse me?"

"The mirage seemed to have been greatly shocked and shouted hysterically, "I never believed in the Dragon Lord from the beginning! You are not worthy to question me!"

"Especially you, Miss Bailu. You don't even possess the power of a Dragon Lord to summon the wind and rain. Why should I believe you can do better than Master Danfeng?"

"The Dragon Masters and the other members of the clan all believe that the Dragon Lord is the only salvation for the Vajra Clan. That's just empty talk, completely unrealistic! Have you ever seen what the Compassionate Medicine King can do?"

"Restore the ability to reproduce." Xing suddenly interrupted.

"That's right!" Mirage said devoutly, "The Compassionate Medicine King will definitely help us expand. What Dragon Lord can't do, the Medicine King can!"

"One day you will know that I am right!"

Chapter 185 Huanxi: Danheng + Jingyuan + Xing, what kind of fantasy all-star lineup is this?

Honkai Impact 3rd

"This one is even more of a fertile evil creature... I didn't expect that the Chiming clan also has the secret teachings of the Medicine King."

In the classroom of St. Freya Academy, Kiana lazily slumped over the table, twirling her pen idly. "Do they really think the Medicine King will favor them?"

"Perhaps this is a desperate attempt to find a cure?" Mei gently closed the notebook in her hand. "Actually, they're all trying to find a way to keep the Chiming clan going, but they're just using different methods."

"As for [Abundance]...if the pharmacist truly favors them, perhaps they will truly gain the ability to reproduce..."

"Hey, Mei, that's a dangerous idea!" Kiana sat up straight and leaned closer. "If the Cloud Cavalry hears it, it'll be considered the Medicine King's secret teachings and you'll be arrested!"

"Okay, Kiana..." Mei patted the girl's hand gently. Seeing her serious expression, she couldn't help but chuckle, "I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

"Although the Immortal Boat doesn't face the same reproductive crisis as the Chiming Clan, they are also facing a threat to the survival of their civilization when facing the Fertile People. However, their answer is completely different from that of the Fertile Evil Creatures."

"What's the answer?" Kiana tilted her head curiously.

"The continuation of civilization and race shouldn't rely on twisted gifts, but on the moments when mortals repeatedly choose to 'fight for each other.'" Mei smiled faintly. "This is the answer written by Yukong, Caiyi... and those Cloud Cavalry who died on the battlefield."

"The three of them encountered two more mirages. One was a Chiming warrior who had fought alongside Danfeng in the past, and the other was Bailu's former maid."

"The former was furious at Danfeng's betrayal and roared at him to hand over the power of the Dragon Lord. Although Bai Lu knew that all this was just a fragment of the past, she was still frightened by the hatred etched in the words of her fellow Chiming."

"As for the other maid, she was placed by the Dragon Masters at her side since she was young. She was responsible for monitoring her daily life and recording Bai Lu's dreams... But because she couldn't bear it, she was forced to transform by the Dragon Masters."

"After experiencing the mirages of these two, Xing also noticed that Bailu was very depressed."

"Go further and you'll reach the exit of the Scaled Abyss Realm. Huanxi has been waiting there for a long time."

"As they were lamenting the dangers of this journey, Huanxi suddenly said, 'I never imagined those assassins would be so audacious as to enter the Holy Land and pursue you relentlessly... Don't worry, young lady. I will report this to the elders and capture them all.'"

Even Bai Lu sensed something was amiss. She stole a glance at Dan Heng, who immediately understood and asked, "An assassin? The three of us didn't mention the assassin, so how did Miss Huanxi know?"

Huanxi panicked and began to stammer as she explained. After all, they had already been attacked at the ferry before, and she was afraid that everyone would be attacked again.

"Bai Lu quickly discovered the blind spot in this sentence and easily exposed Huan Xi's statement. Seeing that the truth was exposed, she also knew that there was no point in continuing this play.

"So, the elders sent you to eliminate the unqualified Dragon Lords?"

"Humph, this is just my opinion. How can it be the Dragon Masters' opinion?" Huanxi's expression suddenly changed. Countless assassins appeared from the crowd and surrounded them.

"In her opinion, the Chiming Clan only needs one Dragon Lord. The weak and useless Bai Lu who usurped the throne... is exactly the one who needs to be eliminated!"

"After saying this, she waved her hand, signaling the assassins to act quickly."

"Everyone, am I not late?"

"Just as the assassins drew their weapons, Jing Yuan's lazy voice sounded behind them at the right moment."

Bai Lu turned her head in surprise: "General! Are you calling for reinforcements for us?"

Jing Yuan chuckled: "Reinforcements? I am the reinforcements."

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

"Uh, have you noticed... Huanxi is facing a lineup that has almost directly fought against Huanlong."

Mitsuri Ganlu Temple suddenly felt sorry for Miss Huanxi. If these assassins could deal with the General + Long Zun + Xing, then she could probably lead this group of assassins to challenge Huanlong.

Two of the five brave men from Yunshang back then were here, and she really couldn't imagine any scene of Huanxi winning.

"Even without the general and Dan Heng, Xing alone can handle these guys."

Fuzukawa Saneya sneered, "In the face of absolute strength, this girl's tricks are useless... They can even withstand the illusory star explosion without being defeated. These assassins will consider it a great success if they can even scratch the star's skin."

"I think Miss Huanxi has hidden her identity quite well, but she's a little too impatient," said Shinobu Kocho. "She's also seen Dan Heng's skills. Doesn't she know the difference between these assassins and Dragon Lord?"

"They wanted to get rid of Bai Lu, but chose to do so while Dan Heng was with her... The timing was incredibly poor. Now that her identity has been exposed, I'm afraid the Dragon Masters will force her to 'transform'."

"But if that's the case, then both of Miss Bailu's maids..."

Mitsuri Kanroji couldn't help but feel sad for Bailu. As a Dragon Lord, those she trusted were either forced to shed their lives or wanted to send her on a journey of transformation... The position of Dragon Lord looked glorious, but in reality, it was incredibly lonely...

"With Jing Yuan and Dan Heng working together, these assassins were completely powerless to resist and were easily wiped out."

Huanxi also fell to the ground injured, staring straight at Bailu standing behind Xingbao, and shook her head regretfully: "What a pity... Haha, it was just a little bit short."

Jing Yuan looked down at her coldly, "Do the dragon masters really think that no one knows about their little tricks? Wake up... Attacking the dragon girl will only destroy their remaining prestige."

"I planned this whole thing alone. General, please don't frame me..." Even now, Huanxi is still speaking for the Dragon Masters."

"Faced with the prospect of being interrogated by the Ten Kings Division, Huanxi declared that she would rather die than go there. After she breathed her last, she fell silent."

"Things have finally been settled, but Bai Lu's tender face shows no sign of joy. Although she knows how much the dragon masters dislike her, she becomes completely dejected after realizing their determination to eliminate her at all costs."

"Although Jing Yuan offered to take her to Shen Ce Mansion, Bai Lu shook her head and declined. However, she still wanted to talk to Dan Heng at the end."

Chapter 186 Xuan Huang (I)

"The Vidyadharas have no parents or family. After birth, a mentor will teach the young Vidyadharas the art of cloud chanting and various life knowledge."

Bai Lu looked at Dan Heng: "...Dan Heng, do you have such a mentor?"

"If you're asking about the traditions of the Chiming people, I have no such experience. I've long been a wanderer, unable to return to my homeland. In my fragmented dreams, I encounter old friends who fought in battle."

"Having said this, Dan Heng seemed to recall something, a faint smile playing on his lips. "But during my travels, I always meet people who can be called mentors."

"As far as I can remember, only the Dragon Masters asked me to do things, and only the doctors at the Dan Ding Division asked me to heal people. I don't even know if they count as mentors."

Bai Lu turned to look at Dan Heng and smiled. "You know what? You look just like the mentor I've been waiting for. 'A wise friend in one life, a mentor in the next'... maybe we were friends or even master and apprentice in our past lives."

"Danfeng's friend or beloved disciple? Perhaps."

"Dan Heng was initially worried that Bai Lu only had the title but not the power of the Dragon Lord. But now he realizes that his worries were unnecessary. Bai Lu not only possesses the Dragon Lord power, but it is a power that belongs only to him. It is the life force that can reorganize the seal and form the mysterious root."

"This is completely different from the power he possesses, which is only good at destruction."

-

The burial of Fulilian.

"No wonder Dan Heng can open the Jianmu Seal but can't close it. It turns out that he only inherited a portion of Dan Feng's power."

"If the power of the two Dragon Lords could be combined into one, we would be able to glimpse the complete power of the previous Dragon Lord, right? Unfortunately..." Xu Tark's gaze shifted away from Dan Heng and he sighed regretfully.

"If Mr. Dan Heng leaves Luofu on the Starry Sky Train, then wouldn't the Dragon Lord inheritance of the Chiming Clan be forever lacking this part of its power?"

Philen felt that although it was good that Dan Heng mastered a part of the power of the Dragon Lord, if this resulted in the inability to fully inherit the power of the subsequent Dragon Lords, it would not be good for the development of Chiming in the long run.

"Philen, don't think too much... Danheng is also from the Chiming clan. The characteristic of the Chiming clan is reincarnation and independence. As long as Danheng doesn't die outside, after a few years of rebirth, his soul will return to this ancient sea and bring back the remaining power of the Dragon Lord, right?" Fulilian guessed.

However, the Chiming Clan can live for a long time, so even Philen and the others might not be able to witness this scene. In a few hundred years, he would have the chance to see the full power of the Dragon Lord. Thinking of this... it seemed that he didn't have to wait long.

"After a brief chat about the Dragon Lord's power in each of them, Bai Lu left first."

"Danheng, shall we go too? Sanyueqi and Uncle Yang are here to pick us up, they're waiting right out front." Xing reminded him.

""Um.""

"Following Xing, Dan Heng's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of Xianlong Dayu Palace."

"The wind swept across the stone steps in front of the temple, carrying with it wisps of the damp air of the ancient sea. He looked up, his gaze settling on the mottled statue in the temple—its once majestic outline had been eroded by time, leaving it in a state of disrepair. Only the stone sculpture's spear point and gaze gazed into the distance, as if awaiting a promise that would never come true."

"—"Yinyue! Don't just stand there in a daze, the wine is getting cold!""

Dan Heng turned around suddenly, as if he heard that familiar voice again.

"On the other side of the statue, there seemed to be four people still standing—Jing Yuan's eyes were smiling, and he was twirling a wine cup between his fingers; Jing Liu's face, which had always been covered with snow, seemed to be swept by a warm breeze, and he smiled a rare smile; even Ying Xing, who was usually serious, had a soft look in his eyes; and Bai Heng—"

"The fox woman smiled and drank the wine in one gulp. Her eyes curved like crescent moons, and the silver bells hanging in her hair tinkled softly in the wind."

"Yingxing, stop frowning."

"Drinking the moon, too. Smile more."

"Bai Heng, don't make it difficult for them. They're still thinking about their last match against Jingliu."

"Want another match? I'd love to."
