Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

However, it seems that the plan has encountered some unexpected problems. It appears that the Abundance Envoy, Shuhu, does not intend to join forces with the Buli people and the Winged Creators. It has reawakened the Jidu Mirage and is now approaching the route where Luofu is located.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two will meet in half a month, which is quite different from the plot development in Yu Tianyi's memory.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the original Shuhu did not bring the Demon Star with him. Instead, he descended upon Luofu alone, successfully wore down the then-general Teng Xiao, and then easily suppressed Yun Wu. At that time, Dan Feng, who was the strongest fighter, could not even injure the opponent in the Bloodstained Prison Realm.

Although there has been no direct contact with the other party yet, Yu Tianyi can already foresee that Shuhu's strength will definitely increase significantly. After all, the other party brought a living planet with him this time, which means he is determined to win.

If this impact cannot be amplified further, then subsequent events will revert to the original possibilities.

This is what is called historical inertia. Just like Yu Tianyi before, he also tried to change something, but the influence of Mirror Flow was quickly smoothed out by invisible forces. It seems that there are many forces balancing it out.

Yu Tianyi naturally noticed the anomaly and quickly concluded that the power of the Star God was at work.

The 'Knowledgeable One' who sets an irreversible moment for the universe, the 'King of the End' who announces prophecies that will inevitably come true from the future, and the 'Mutual One' who harmonizes the balance of the universe's operation.

The three have planned out the development of the entire universe, and any attempt to alter it would require the power of a Star God or someone with power surpassing that of a Star God.

As he experienced in the four chapters, the reason why everything in those possible universes changed so drastically was that there were problems at the level of the Star Gods.

After realizing the key to this, he naturally had no choice but to give up and stop trying to change anything until the appearance of the cheat code brought a turning point.

"Suddenly, you finally appeared."

Whether it was Yu Tianyi at the beginning or him now, neither of them would take the Fengrao Envoy, who could easily suppress all the Yunqi of Luofu, lightly.

Moreover, his teacher, Black Tower, had specifically instructed him that if he could kill the opponent, she would give him some rewards. Even as his strength continued to improve, she did not withdraw her offer, which indirectly shows that this challenge would not be easy.

Moreover, this time it's not like the formidable enemy in the chapter. In reality, he doesn't have the ability to restart the game. If he fails, everything will truly be over.

As for considering asking his teacher for help or waiting until he becomes powerful enough to reverse time, that's not something he's thinking about right now. Besides, if he had to involve his parents for something like that, he might as well just kill himself.

"However, I was somewhat surprised that it did not join forces with the Abundant Alliance. But considering its previous actions, it is not entirely incomprehensible. However, the ten-day cooldown period for the support module is a problem worth considering."

Since an unexpected change had occurred, Yu Tianyi naturally adapted to the situation.

"We can't wait for them to suddenly appear. I need to take the initiative and snipe them outside of Luofu's flight path so that I can calmly deal with the changes that will follow."

Of course, he wouldn't be so foolish as to rush in directly. If he suddenly found out that the other party had some trump card he didn't know about, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." With a thought, Yu Tianyi extracted a humanoid afterimage from the vanished possibilities of the Leaf of Imaginary Numbers. It wasn't that he didn't want to use a powerful being to modify it, but rather that the effort required to complete a powerful being was far less worthwhile than modifying the afterimage.

"Since the mission is to probe the enemy's situation, the strength must not be too weak. If the enemy is killed instantly upon meeting, what is the point of probing? Therefore, this afterimage must at least have the current strength of the Mirror Stream."

If he's still easily killed like that, I'll need to reassess his current strength and can't act rashly.

As he pondered, he sculpted the afterimage before him into a familiar human figure, which was none other than Teng Xiao's appearance.

It's not that this changes any aspect of strength, but rather it's to better confuse Shuhu. After all, he has seen many of Teng Xiao's battles, so it's quite easy for him to imitate the opponent's fighting style.

Oops, I've been refreshing the fictional narrative so much I've forgotten the chapters. This time, I'm using Himeko from Black Tower to rack up 4 points.

Chapter 255 The Great Battle of the Commanders

Within the Milky Way, each galaxy is separated by an endless imaginary space, and only the power of messengers or star gods can move freely within it.

Among them, the star trails built by the pioneering star god 'Akivili' with his rainbow chariot are the most famous, capable of quickly traveling between different worlds and traversing hundreds or even thousands of light-years in an instant.

Above these golden star trails, a massive planet floats, its peaks twisted into bizarre shapes, and the burning flames seem to form stretched faces, as if human consciousness is sealed within them, unable to escape.

This is the terrifying existence that makes countless worlds tremble at the mere mention of its name, and that even the Immortal Ship Alliance must treat with utmost apprehension—the living planet, the Mirage of Ketu.

If you look closer, you will find that the Jidu Mirage is now entwined with countless branches, which converge to form a towering tree that can be seen even outside the atmosphere.

This is the true form of Shuhu. Normally, it only uses the roots of these trees to form an avatar. Even if it is destroyed by the Immortal Ship, it is only a matter of 'dying' once, and it will not have any impact.

The reason it was deployed this time was because it had recently gained a significant benefit, making great strides in its destiny and greatly improving its strength.

In its view, Teng Xiao, who was originally only on par with its split body, could no longer be its opponent. In addition, Luofu was in turmoil due to the death of the sword head, which was the perfect opportunity for it to take advantage of the situation and seize the abundant divine miracle Jianmu.

"Teng Xiao, can you kill me this time? I'm looking forward to it."

The countless faces covering the branches, each head uttering a single word, together formed a slightly mocking statement.

"You have to give it a try, don't you?"

"what?!"

As a powerful sound echoed through the planet's atmosphere, a golden phantom emerged from outer space. The figure, larger than the continent, wielded a giant blade and slashed down at the towering thousand-faced tree, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The terrifying slash pierced through the atmosphere of the living planet in an instant, stirring up a ring of crimson flames. The shrill whistling sound spread out in a ring, threatening to sink the planet and its entire landmass.

"Teng Xiao, how dare you show up here."

Suddenly startled, it recognized Teng Xiao's voice all too well, and the identical Imperial Bow's aura made it have no doubt about the authenticity of the person who appeared.

Its body bloomed like a flower, with golden branches rising from the ground and rushing towards the sky, attempting to entangle and shatter the falling golden giant blade.

A burning giant sword fell from outside the atmosphere, followed by a heavily armored, burly man with a calm expression. With a thought, the spirit outside the 'Mirage of Jidu' wielded the blade in both hands and changed its descent into a sweeping attack.

My body is radiant!

This strike was like splitting the heavens and earth, creating a violent sonic boom. The aftershocks alone were enough to shatter ordinary people into dust, and with a single blow, it cleaved a hole across the sky in the atmosphere.

“If I hadn’t appeared here, I’m afraid you would have gone up to Luofu, and you would have suffered heavy losses, which is not what I wanted.”

Yu Tianyi manipulated the afterimage that had transformed into 'Tengxiao', and with a few slashes of the burning giant sword in his hand, he easily shredded the golden branches that were wrapping around him, and then turned them into ashes.

His guess came true. The reality had changed drastically because of his actions. If it were to descend upon Luofu with such power, and if he hadn't intervened, the enemy could have easily conquered the entire Luofu, taken the Jianmu tree, and left.

"However, I did not expect that after it blessed my destiny, the power of the Star Chaser Arrow would change so much. The summoned Emperor Bow spirit is more than ten times stronger than before."

It seems that the summoned spirit changes according to the imaginary energy that I can call upon based on my current position. Although I haven't fully activated my talent yet, I do have the Star God position brought by the Jianmu clone.

Therefore, the power unleashed by the Emperor Bow's spirit at this moment is actually nearly equivalent to that bestowed by the Emperor Bow Master himself, and even more terrifying because it is not limited by a physical body.

This 'Teng Xiao' could not possibly receive the blessing of the Emperor's Bow, so what he is currently controlling is the Emperor's Bow's spirit summoned by the 'Star Chasing Arrow' that Yu Tianyi obtained in the Luofu Fall chapter.

Although even with the 1000 hunting fragments that Yu Tianyi collected during the Echoes of Battle, the duration is only 7200 standard seconds, or two standard hours, it is more than enough to handle a probing battle.

As a planet with an abundant and vibrant destiny, Ketu Mirage naturally felt extremely uncomfortable with the almost overflowing hunting destiny on the golden phantom of the Divine Lord.

The mountains on its body were engulfed in flames, and the peaks formed a gigantic face that roared as it grew a pair of enormous hands that were thousands of feet long and clashed with golden blades.

boom!

An indescribable, massive explosion lit up the sky above the mirage, the living planet, causing it to deviate slightly from its original orbit, as if it were about to break away and return to normal space.

On the planet, 'Teng Xiao' let out a long howl while holding a burning giant sword. Even though he was as insignificant as an ant compared to the Thousand-Faced Giant Tree in the blink of an eye, his aura was on par with the opponent's and he was in contact with the God Lord outside the planet.

Slay and examine his spirit and form!

The golden phantom solidified into a tangible form, and a colossal blade tens of thousands of feet long descended from the sky, easily slicing through the giant hand that tried to stop it, before crashing down upon the colossal tree with thousands of blooming faces.

"Teng Xiao!!!"

With a deafening roar, the scene of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting open vividly appeared before Tianyi's eyes. Countless fragments of rock were blasted into the sky and then turned into countless meteors that fell to the ground.

Teng Xiao remained silent. Even though Yu Tianyi had never actually fought this Abundance Envoy, he knew just how difficult it was to kill someone blessed with Abundance. This attack would at most cause the opponent some trouble.

After all, he was a genuine Star God of Abundance who had served for over a hundred years, and he knew all too well the abilities of his subordinates.

That is a miracle that can make flesh grow back from bones, make petals fall from mud back to the pistil, reverse yin and yang, and reverse life and death. For ordinary civilizations, it is a genuine miracle.

With his flaming sword, Teng Xiao easily sliced ​​through the flying pebbles and plunged into the dust. Sure enough, countless golden branches flew out from within, attempting to lock him firmly in place.

Yu Tianyi activated the imaginary energy within Teng Xiao's body, and the flames emanating from the giant sword in his hand instantly intensified several times, easily incinerating the branches that were blocking his way.

“I am fleeting, I am eternal. Teng Xiao, how long can you maintain this state?”

Thanks to Shanheling for the blade.

Chapter 256 The Allied Forces Take Shape

"As expected of the Envoy of Abundance, a terrifying enemy that has brought enormous losses to the Alliance. It was already powerful enough, and was known as Teng Xiao's nemesis. Now, it has joined forces with the living planet. The combined strength of the two is far beyond what 1+1=2 can describe."

Inside the study, Yu Tianyi stretched and opened his eyes again. The battle between Teng Xiao and Shu Hu had given him a pretty good idea of ​​the other party's background.

It must be said that Shuhu's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Even though he replicated Teng Xiao's peak strength, and since he was an afterimage and did not have to worry about the burden on his physical body, and since he was a spirit summoned by an item, he could freely activate the state of a Divine Lord, which can be said to be far beyond the normal Teng Xiao.

According to Yu Tianyi's estimate, this 'Teng Xiao' already had about 75% of the strength of the Three Months, but even so, he was unable to completely kill Shu Hu. In the end, he was forced into a protracted battle, and after two hours, the Divine Lord's duration ran out and he was defeated.

"Moreover, I could sense that it still had a trump card up its sleeve. It wasn't until I burned all my power and struck it with all my might when time ran out, blasting it out of its orbit, that I felt a slight fluctuation. I guess that was the variable caused by my attempt to change its trajectory."

His gaze was deep as he recalled the last scene he saw through 'Teng Xiao's' perception, that fleeting, eerie aura.

Regardless of what it is, it is certain that it is not a product of the Abundant Destiny. As the Abundant Star God of another universe, Yu Tianyi would certainly not be mistaken.

"In terms of the quality and characteristics of the concept, it is somewhat similar to the path of destruction that I experienced in the Order of Heaven. Could it be that the operation of combining abundance and destruction, which was originally completed by Huanlong eight hundred years later, has been moved to the present?"

Yu Tianyi muttered to himself, guessing what exactly the changes on Shuhu's body were. However, since the other party had tested him to the very end and had not used it even after being knocked out of the star orbit, either the improvement was not significant, or there was some major restriction that made the other party reluctant to use it even after leaving the star orbit.

"The last move did successfully postpone the meeting between Shuhu and Luofu for a while, but I believe it won't hold it off for long. After all, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and the Abundance Miracle will undoubtedly enhance its power as an envoy."

He didn't think that this alone would make Shuhu back down. Besides, his actions would likely give Shuhu the illusion that Teng Xiao was already gone and that Luofu was now just a fish on a chopping board.

This is exactly what Yu Tianyi hoped for, since an opponent in the open is always better than one who resorts to underhanded tactics in the shadows.

The reason he used Teng Xiao's appearance was because he was worried that after being tested by him, Shu Hu would hide away. With Yu Tianyi's current abilities, he was not able to find the other party's whereabouts in the vast Milky Way.

After all, the structure of the Milky Way universe is different from that before he traveled through it. There are infinite imaginary space domains between galaxies, plus the Celestial Wisdom Star Wall and the Subspace Crystal Wall created by the Star God of Preservation, making it extremely difficult to track across boundaries.

"Now there is another key point. Since Shuhu's strength has undergone tremendous changes, it is questionable whether we can completely kill Shuhu with only one minute of assistance time in reality."

Without relying on the support module, Yu Tianyi's current strength is at most similar to 'Teng Xiao' who was sent out to test the waters. If we include various items, such as the Destiny Seal and the Star Chaser Arrow, he might be a little stronger, but not by much.

This level of skill was clearly not enough to guarantee victory, so Yu Tianyi planned to improve himself again before facing his opponent head-on.

Aside from weapons, he is currently struggling to develop his own talents and has not properly integrated them with his destiny.

"First, set a small goal: to integrate your field, destiny, and talents all together."

There was no news from the Black Tower either, so it's likely that the Order of Heaven is still facing significant problems. It's a good opportunity to synthesize what I've learned and draw on methods from different systems in the books my teacher gave me.

While Yu Tianyi was taking action, Shuhu was not idle either. The Jidu Mirage where it was located was blasted out of its star orbit by Tengxiao's desperate attack, causing the original plan to meet Luofu within half a month to fall through.

"Teng Xiao, you're something else. Even in death, you've left me with a lot of trouble."
