I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　"The hunt will never end until the evil creature is eliminated..."

　Seemingly sensing Huanlong's thoughts, several feathers scattered around "Hua," and then a colorless flame suddenly ignited on her body.

　"All that has passed is now consigned to this sword..."

　It was too late... Sensing the sudden surge of commanding pressure emanating from "Hua," Huanlong, already like an ant on a hot pan, didn't have time to carefully sense it. She hurriedly gathered all her strength to resist "Hua's" earth-shattering sword energy.

　But in reality, as a master at the spiritual level, Huanlong only needs to make contact with Lingmo's power once to realize that... the "commander-level" attack released by the "Hua" in front of him is actually just an empty shell released by Lingmo at the cost of burning Feather Dust.

　Even though this sword energy looks intimidating, because it focuses all its power on simulating the pressure of the Commander-level, the "sword energy" she is currently using cannot even break through the Six Phases Ice of March.

　However, how could Huanlong be so foolish as to deliberately walk into Lingmo's sword energy? Right now, Huanlong is focusing all his strength on resisting "Hua" and can't even care about Jingyuan and Danheng, who are also gathering their strength. If they take the attacks, they might get injured, but if they dare to take the Marshal's attack head-on, they will really die!

　Chapter 173 Illusion: Ladies and gentlemen, please witness the birth of a Great Lord of Annihilation!

　In fact, not only Lingmo's Taixu Sword Qi, but also Jingyuan's Divine Lord and Danheng's Azure Dragon Cleansing the World arrived very quickly, which led to the most crucial problem: Huanlong had very little time to think.

　Therefore, the battle-hardened Great Lord of Annihilation chose what she considered the optimal solution—prioritizing the interception of the attack from Hua, as for the Divine Lord and the Azure Dragon Zhuoshi…

　Wasn't the voluptuous divine body she sculpted for herself meant for this very purpose?

　However, the ideal was very beautiful, but the reality was not only harsh. When Huanlong came into contact with the sword energy of "Hua", she regretted it almost instantly.

　Because there was no sword energy at all, and not even a Cloud Cavalry Marshal.

　All she saw was Lingmo's wicked smile, as if she had succeeded in her prank—and the sudden, sharp pain that shot through her body. Jingyuan had been secretly preparing for this attack for a long time, so much so that his attack was far beyond what Huanlong had imagined she could withstand.

　Under the divine thunder, she even felt her connection with Jianmu weaken, unsure whether she or Jianmu was being electrocuted.

　What's worse... Huanlong suddenly realized that Danheng, who was making a move on the other side, was also a god-level opponent.

　While Huanlong was severely injured, Danheng, whose mental state was comparable to Xing's, did not choose to further injure her. Instead, he used the power of the Divine Lord to transmit his water flow to various parts of Huanlong's body and began to search for the power connection point between Huanlong and Jianmu.

　Without a doubt, if Jianmu's continuous supply to Huanlong is cut off, the Abundance Blessing in the body Huanlong created will lose its current level of recovery ability, which is like a health bar jumping around. Although it won't become completely ineffective, at that time, its recovery ability will definitely not be as good as the high-level Abundance Blessing directly bestowed by the apothecary, like Jianmu.

　The situation was reversed in an instant.

　"How dare you...how dare you!"

　Looking at "Hua"—no, Lingmo—who was laughing smugly like a little devil, Huanlong's eyes were filled with resentment.

　The current situation has become a slow death for her. The one who is stalling for time has changed from herself to the other side. Because of her poor condition, the consumption she has to make against the Divine Lord is far greater than before. And every time she uses the power of Jianmu to recover, it will increase the success rate of Danheng's "finding weaknesses" operation.

　The problem is that because of that decision, she still has to do her best to heal herself—otherwise, if she adds more injury, it will quickly snowball and the situation will become even worse.

　Therefore, there is only one optimal solution left for Huanlong.

　"Good, very good... I was originally planning to deal with these annoying guys first, and then slowly search for your whereabouts on the immortal ship..."

　"But now... since you've come to me of your own accord, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to prioritize my other purpose for coming to the Immortal Ship."

　"Rinma, back off!"

　Jing Yuan shouted, and Shen Jun immediately stepped in front of Ling Mo, colliding fiercely with Huan Long's outstretched hand.

　At the same time, Azure Dragon, Black Hole, and even Flame Spear and Ice Arrow shot out one by one. However, Huanlong's intention to capture Lingmo was too resolute. While she was being blocked, two petals of Xuan Lotus, which were nurtured by Jianmu, appeared around Lingmo under Huanlong's control.

　This was the only way out Huanlong had found for himself: to transform Lingmo into a puppet of destruction in advance, forcing everyone present to choose between saving her and attacking her.

　Of course, Huanlong would not really give the other party a choice. Knowing Lingmo's background, Huanlong was very clear that with her mixed power of abundance and destruction, the moment she came into contact with Lingmo, she would cause Lingmo's body to react to abundance.

　According to Lingmo's previous statement, after the stress, her body would indiscriminately absorb the surrounding energy to resist the invasion of abundance. However, at this time, the power around Lingmo was either abundance or destruction. In other words, Lingmo would be able to watch helplessly as her body frantically absorbed the destructive power of the path of destiny infused by Huanlong, and would eventually "voluntarily" fall into the camp of destruction.

　laugh……

　Just thinking about the expressions on these people's faces made Huanlong suddenly feel no pain in her wounds.

　"Heh, everyone... were you having a good time?"

　Dragging his battered and bruised "Abundant Divine Body," Huanlong, as if holding a petite figurine, braved the attacks and pulled Lingmo back.

　"You all seem quite worried... Don't worry, I'm just borrowing your companion for a bit, I'll return him to you later."

　"As for now... hehe..."

　The power of destruction gradually gathered around Suzumo.

　"Now, witness how a future Great Ruler of Annihilation will complete his initial transformation!"

　"what?!"

　Huanlong's words struck everyone present like a thunderbolt.

　After all, even Jingyuan, who was the most pessimistic about Huanlong's motives, simply thought that Lingmo possessed some quality that attracted Huanlong, so the other party wanted to turn Lingmo into her "collection." But now...

　"Magnificent and mighty spirit, respect my command—"

　"Heh, a hunting pawn, now you're in a hurry? You want to kill me? What if I give you my life? It's just a body I made up at will anyway."

　Huanlong fiercely swung her arm, sacrificing one of her hands to protect Lingmo against her chest—in her mind, she had to prevent Jingyuan from killing Lingmo directly and eliminating a potential future Great Ruler of Annihilation. After all, if she were in his shoes, Huanlong herself would definitely do the same.

　"Oh, I almost forgot..."

　Looking at Lingmo, whose body was now covered in golden patterns, Huanlong smiled slightly, and a emerald green light once again condensed in his palm.

　"Since you are so averse to the power of abundance, let me add fuel to the fire!"

　Instantly, Jianmu's power, under Huanlong's control, surged into Lingmo's body from the other side.

　"not good!"

　Now, Xing's expression changed instantly, even though she wasn't too worried because she knew Lingmo could be resurrected.

　Huanlong's actions might seem contradictory to others, but to Xing, who knew the "insider information," her purpose was perfectly clear.

　"Xing! You're insane!"

　March, who quickly grabbed Xing, exclaimed in shock, "That's Huanlong! Even if you rush up there..."

　"Uncle Yang!"

　Hoshi, who was being held tightly by March, quickly looked at Walter on the other side: "Quickly, find a way to save Suzuma! Her body will automatically absorb all the energy around her in response to reject the Power of Abundance. Huanlong is trying to make her..."

　"Uh……"

　However, to Xing's surprise, neither Walter nor Jing Yuan made any further moves. Instead, they looked up at the sky with astonishment.

　"star……"

　Walter stopped the blue light he was about to conjure.

　"Are you sure... Suzumo is rejecting abundance?"

　Chapter 174 Walter: Children, don't be afraid, I have a resurrection card, I'm here to give you one last lesson.

　"Eh?"

　Upon hearing Walter's words, Xing finally looked up at the sky.

　Then, she immediately understood why Uncle Yang and Jing Yuan were both stunned.

　Enveloped by both destinies simultaneously, Lingmo did not accelerate the absorption of the destructive destiny power as Xing had imagined. Instead, with the help of Jianmu, she gradually removed the power that Huanlong had instilled in her.

　Although this removal speed is still somewhat slower than Huanlong's injection speed, at least the scenario that Huanlong imagined—rapidly turning Lingmo into a novice—is no longer possible.

　After all... the reason she transformed Dan Shu and the others so quickly before was because she was a Commander-level Annihilation Lord, and even with the Abundant Blessing within Dan Shu's body, she was only slightly stronger than the others.

　And the blessing that Suzumo receives now is the high-grade, abundant Fukien wood directly bestowed by the pharmacist.

　If it weren't for the fact that it's all instinct, a blessing of abundance like Jianmu could be completely comparable to a Commander. Even a Crimson Moon, which is one level lower, could be used to create a Bu Li Battle Head of the same level as Mirror Flow. If someone could completely utilize Jianmu, then obtaining the combat power of a Commander would indeed not be a problem.

　"So, Hoshino, how did you know that Suzuma's body would reject abundant information?"

　Jing Yuan asked with some curiosity.

　"Because at the time, it was in the Construction Bureau..."

　As Xing narrated with a blank expression, both Jingyuan and Walter showed somewhat tense expressions.

　"Ha, so that explains why Huanlong is like this... I see."

　Looking at Huanlong, who was not far away and seemed to be wondering "Who am I? Where am I? What's going on?", Jingyuan couldn't help but smile: "Xing, actually you were fooled by Lingmo."

　"As a envoy specializing in mental abilities, Huanlong could not possibly have failed to detect the mental communication between Lingmo and you at that time. Because Lingmo had long suspected Tingyun, she deliberately gave false information at that time."

　"really."

　Dan Heng, who was standing to the side, nodded: "I saw it with my own eyes. Jianmu's attitude towards Lingmo can only be described as doting."

　"..."

　Xing rubbed her eyes. She felt she should act a little angry, but the sudden sense of relief made it impossible for her to suppress her smile. So, the girl could only pout cutely.

　"That idiot, when she comes back this time... I'm definitely going to make her pay for it!"

　"You can go back and discuss this with Lingmo."

　Walter pushed up his glasses and quickly interrupted.

　After all, he, a senior colleague who used to be surrounded by a lot of lesbians, could tell about the relationship between Hoshi and Suzuma. In order to prevent Hoshi from accidentally saying something shocking and corrupting the innocent Suzuma, Walter quickly skipped the topic.

　"However, Huanlong seems to be a little... vulnerable."

　At this moment, on the distant battlefield, Huanlong no longer cared about her previous stubborn claim of "a body she had casually created," and began screaming and scratching, trying to withdraw the power of the Jianmu tree.

　Unfortunately, although Huanlong implanted a star core into Jianmu, which allowed her to control Jianmu's power to some extent, it was only to a certain degree.

　So, after trying for a while, Huanlong sadly discovered that the best she could do was to get Jianmu into a state of left and right brain conflict. Even in this state, as Jianmu's familiarity with Lingmo's body gradually deepened, it began to tilt towards Lingmo's side.

　Without a doubt, her plan to cause chaos within the Immortal Ship during her trip to Luofu has completely failed.

　Although her form of existence made it impossible for the few people present to capture her, the feeling of squandering such a huge advantage still made Huanlong extremely angry.

　"Alright, fine... You'll use the power of the Jianmu tree to resist the baptism of destruction, right? Haha..."

　Huanlong let out a laugh that sounded like it had gone wrong.

　"Then take all the remaining destructive power in this body! I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"

　"Jingyuan...we'll meet again! I hope that by then, you'll see that you've lost one of your companions, hahaha!"

　"careful!"

　Seeing the dazzling light gradually emanating from Huanlong's body, Jingyuan quickly controlled the Divine Lord to shield everyone from the escaping aftershocks.

　Lingmo, who was in the center of the arena, was not so lucky. Due to Nanuk's orders, Huanlong certainly did not dare to kill Lingmo. However, the girl was now completely shrouded in a black mist that was almost tangible, with only a golden passage connecting to the Jianmu tree appearing and disappearing in the black mist.

　Huanlong's idea was simple: since she couldn't stop Jianmu from supplying energy to Lingmo, she might as well explode her body and forcibly convert the energy of the Destruction Path at the Commander level into energy for Lingmo.

　In any case, with so many restrictions and other forces in between, the output power of the Jianmu tree is absolutely no match for the effect of a command envoy's direct self-destruction.

　"What... do we do now?"

　Looking at Lingmo, who was shrouded in a black mist and had fallen into a coma in the center of the Scale Abyss Realm, San Yue glanced at her for a moment, then materialized a piece of six-phase ice and tried to touch Lingmo.

　However, before the six phases of ice in March could even get close, they were instantly annihilated by the destructive black mist. Breaking through such dense destiny power without harming Lingmo was indeed a major challenge for everyone, not to mention finding a way to dispel this energy.

　"..."

　Jingyuan looked at the connection between Lingmo and Jianmu, his expression shifting between light and dark.

　However, after only a moment's hesitation, Jing Yuan immediately stood up and looked at everyone.

　"Gentlemen... I have a bold idea."

　"The situation is urgent, and there is only one way to save Lingmo."

　"Next, I will control the God to briefly break the seal around the Jianmu tree and split it open to expose its core. Taking advantage of this opportunity... at all costs, send Lingmo into the Jianmu tree!"

　"As for the unauthorized destruction of the Jianmu seal and the subsequent accountability from the Immortal Boat Alliance, you don't need to worry. I will take full responsibility. Before Lingmo recovers, I can guarantee that the Immortal Boat Alliance will not take any action against her."

　"Jingyuan, you..."

　"Don't hesitate, act now!"

　Jing Yuan took a deep breath, then, suppressing the enormous energy expenditure from before, he regained control of the Divine Lord.

　"Magnificent and mighty spirit, respect my command—"

　"Divine Lord, break through the Jianmu tree!"

　At the same time as Jingyuan took action, Xingye rushed towards Lingmo without hesitation.

　As the only one among those present whose fate was to be destroyed, the task of "moving" Lingmo was also none other than her.
