Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

boom!

With a single strike, the earth shook and the entire cave began to tremble. Cracks appeared on the edge of the spatial bubble, clearly indicating that the aftershocks of the two's battle had caused a problem with the device maintaining the cave.

The power bestowed by the Emperor's Bow was indeed extraordinary; it could even shatter the false sun in the sky. However, its wielder was not the God of Fate. The aftershocks from the collision made Jing Yuan shudder, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

However, he was no ordinary person. As a member of the Immortal Ship, he also possessed abundant blessings. When he was near the Jianmu tree, his body's recovery speed noticeably increased by several levels, and he quickly recovered to his original state.

Even so, he was immediately at a disadvantage under Huanlong's attack and found himself struggling to cope with her attacks.

"Great Lord of Annihilation, Illusionary Aura, is this the cause of destruction predicted by the Dharma Eye?"

Fu Xuan's pupils trembled, finding it hard to believe the strength that Huanlong displayed after fusing with Jianmu. However, she quickly recovered and, seeing Jingyuan instantly fall into a disadvantageous position, immediately commanded the Cloud Cavalry to join the battle.

Unfortunately, faced with such a huge disparity in strength, the attacks from the Cloud Cavalry and the Sky Fighter were like tickling, barely posing a threat to Huanlong.

Lotus blossoms bloomed without roots in the void, with the Abundant Mystic Lotus and the Destructive Mystic Lotus blooming alternately, transforming the battlefield into Illusion's own domain.

"Damn it, Huanlong has taken over the 'Jianmu' tree and formed a physical body. Not only has he not relinquished the power of Annihilation, but he has even touched upon the power of the Plague of Longevity."

Upon seeing this, Fu Xuan's expression darkened. Even though he had made preparations in advance, the Great Lord of Annihilation before him still far exceeded his expectations.

"The combat power of an individual is comparable to that of the 'Foton Wind' that the alliance previously observed."

Her divine eyes gleamed, but her foresight was hazy and vague, rendering it useless in battle.

This is because when an individual's power is strong enough, the 'various elements' involved in it are complex and can be extremely large.

In layman's terms, there are too many causes and effects involved, and the difficulty of calculation increases exponentially.

Xuan Yao, who established the Taibusi system, once said, "The only things that cannot be divined are Heaven and the gods." This is what he meant.

Although Huanlong has not yet reached the level of Heaven and God, he has greatly affected Fu Xuan's divination. If it weren't for the Dharma Eye given by the All-Knowing Heavenly Lord, he probably wouldn't even be able to see the blurry image.

"The miracle of abundance is well-deserved. The wonders contained within this noble body formed from the Jianmu tree are truly wonderful."

Before Fu Xuan could think any further, he saw Huan Long's sneer resound throughout the cave, causing the Scale Abyss Ancient Sea to ripple and turn into rolling waves.

"Well!"

A wave of intense nausea washed over Fu Xuan, causing her to clutch her forehead and nearly collapse to her knees.

"This is a sign of the demonic body... I am still young, how could this be... It is the power of the Illusionary Illusion, no, the power of the Jianmu tree."

A crimson light flashed in his golden eyes. Everything before him transformed into a bountiful monster in Fu Xuan's eyes. It seemed that as long as he killed them and devoured their flesh, he could suppress his own mutation.

“Fu Xuan can hold on for a while longer, but these people from the Immortal Ship can’t.”

Yu Tianyi looked at the Cloud Knight soldier whose eyes were filled with crimson and whose body began to sprout ginkgo leaves, and then looked at Jing Yuan in the sky who was about to be defeated in his battle with Huanlong. He sighed slightly.

"Although I don't really want to use it, there's no harm in using it now, and it's not a good time to directly demonstrate its power in reality."

As he spoke, he reached out and a quiver of arrows that looked quite similar to a patrol arrow fell into his hand.

Arrow of the Stars - Stars Shatter and the Sky Collapses.

As the ethereal blue bow appeared in Tianyi's hand, a massive phantom that enveloped the sky suddenly materialized, unleashing an indescribable hunting power, and a long, dark blue arrow landed in place.

"The Star-Hunting God?! How is that possible? It has never personally participated in the battles among mortals."

Huanlong uttered a slightly frightened word, but she quickly realized that if the Emperor Bow had come in person, she would probably have already been reduced to ashes by the light arrow.

"So that's how it is, it was your doing."

Her attention shifted to Yu Tianyi, a figure that seemed incredibly small to her now. Even though it wasn't Emperor Gong himself, Huanlong didn't want the commotion to continue, so she immediately swung her feather fan and smashed it down at him.

Destruction – sweeping away all dust and clouds.

"Don't try to succeed."

Jing Yuan managed to manipulate the Divine Lord to stand between the two, blocking the attack while letting out another muffled groan as his body nearly shattered.

"These annoying ants are a nuisance!"

Before Huanlong could launch another attack, the long arrow in Yu Tianyi's hand solidified completely. He nocked the arrow and released his left hand towards Huanlong.

At the same time, the phantom of the imperial bow that shrouded the sky also released its grip.

Lan fired an arrow, an arrow powerful enough to shoot down stars and tear through space, which landed on Huanlong without her even having a chance to react.

boom! boom! boom!

Countless roars echoed across the sky, their lingering sounds continuing for a long time before finally dissipating.

"That's it. Even with the use of the Star Chaser Arrow, it couldn't inflict fatal damage on Huanlong. With her connection to Jianmu still intact, she's practically immortal."

When Yu Tianyi opened his eyes, the image that remained in his memory was Huanlong emerging from the roar, and a giant hand descending from the sky.

[Chapter "The Fall of Luofu", failed to complete, rating: E ​​(1% of the boosts gained during the event are retained)]

"I never expected that Huanlong was actually Tingyun. Now we have no way of knowing when the star core was brought into the immortal ship."

After all, Tingyun has been in business for nearly a century, which means that Huanlong could have carried out her actions at any time during that period, while Luofu was completely unaware of it.

With decades of continuous infiltration, it can be said that Luofu in the 'Luofu Fall' chapter has no secrets left for Huanlong, and things have suddenly reached a stalemate.

I spent a whole day farming the new artifacts and it was like I hadn't farmed them at all; I'm exhausted.

Chapter 37 Fleeting Glimpses of the Mask

"This is difficult. Without external help, I have absolutely no ability to break the deadlock in this matter."

Unless I become powerful enough to become a Star God's Envoy, and then learn Huanlong's location through multiple reenactments, I might have a chance to assassinate her directly using my own abilities.

In other words, it's the same principle of overcoming all obstacles with sheer force, directly relying on one's own strength to break the deadlock.

However, it is clear that he currently only possesses the strength of the Cloud Cavalry Guard and does not have this ability, although he might have a chance using the Star Chaser Arrow.

"But given Huanlong's cautious nature, I estimate that even that would be difficult to achieve."

Yu Tianyi rubbed his temples. This cheat wasn't as kind as he thought. He finally understood why the main storyline gave him a set of temporary events. Now, without these temporary events, it would be virtually impossible to get through the main storyline.

Close the cheat interface in front of you. That's the good thing about having a limit on the number of attempts; you don't have to time your attempts to enter and waste them.

"Next, we need to see if the temporary events in this incident are fixed, so that we can make some plans for the next steps."

Taking out the jade tablet to confirm the various events in reality, Luo Fu is now making steady progress on the ancient shipping route, and the next target is expected to be the planet Tarasa, which he had visited decades ago.

For a long time, the alliance has been dedicated to helping these worlds repair ecosystems and genetic pedigrees that have been ravaged and altered by plagues.

Tarrassa is a deep ocean world, where most of the planet's surface is shrouded in a bottomless ocean, with only a few islands and a single piece of land remaining unsubmerged.

The development of civilization there is directly related to the alliance.

That was a time long before Yu Tianyi's time travel, in the year 1200 of the Star Calendar, when the immortal ship "Daiyu" tragically exploded in battle against the bountiful people's "Shirou".

When all hope seemed lost, Qingzhu, the leader of Daiyu, made a decisive decision, vowing to sever the contamination of the plague curse with a heroic sacrifice. This caused the wrecked Daiyu ship to crash into the surface of the planet Tarasa.

"Long, long ago, the palaces of the gods fell from the heavens."

The local water dwellers developed their own civilization, the Isumatsu Civilization, based on the remains of Daiyu.

The people of Isumo even regarded their civilization as a continuation of their ancestors' civilization and established good trade relations with the Immortals.

Decades ago, the fleet of Bu Liren invaded Tarasa. At that time, the Five Heroes of the Clouds, who were not yet famous, including Yu Tianyi, went to provide assistance and successfully drove them away.

Luo Fu's return this time was intended to observe the post-war recovery of the Isuma civilization and to conduct some commercial trade.

"Speaking of the Crystal Palace in Tarasa, the architecture, which combines cultural features from the past with its own civilization, has a unique style. No wonder Bai Yun praised it so highly."

Bai Yun was Bai Heng's grandmother, but she had already passed away. After all, the lifespan of a fox spirit is only about three hundred years. Counting from the fox spirit when Yu Tianyi transmigrated, Bai Heng is already the sixth generation.

As Yu Tianyi looked at the news, he recalled the unique wine in the Crystal Palace decades ago, and the shimmering light-emitting fish at the bottom of the abyss.

One of the advantages of being a member of an interstellar civilization is that he can visit civilizations that have grown up in different environments and taste various unique delicacies, which has been one of his hobbies for thousands of years.

"However, because the civilization and the Alliance are quite close, this planet Tarrassa has suffered many attacks from those Buli people, and it has been quite a disaster."

If Yu Tianyi remembers correctly, this planet will face another large-scale invasion by the Bu Li people. However, that time, Yao Qing and the Jade Palace Immortal Ship fought against them. In the end, they were defeated because of the demon tide caused by their moon, without the support of the Cloud Chanting Master Fang Hu Chiming.

This was also the incident that led to Fu Xuan's master losing an arm.

"Forget it, this matter is still about six hundred years away from now. By then, I might be invincible. There's no need to worry about it."

Stretching, Yu Tianyi slipped out of the room. He didn't think about doing it again immediately. He didn't have a clear plan right now, and using it hastily would hardly achieve better results.

His home is located in Changletian, a rather ordinary-looking villa, unlike most craftsmen who renovate their residences with their various creations.

"Ok?"

Just as Yu Tianyi was strolling around the neighborhood, clearing his mind, a figure wearing a strange mask flashed past his field of vision.

It wasn't that this person was anything special, but rather that the mask on his face triggered Yu Tianyi's memories.

"The Masked Fool, it's possible they're just similar in color, or perhaps another group of mourners. But if they really are them, what are they planning to do by coming to Luofu so quietly?"

Yu Tianyi remained outwardly calm, but secretly quickened his pace slightly, seemingly unintentionally catching up with the other person.

The masks of the masked fools were not made by themselves, but were often stolen from the mourners on the gondolas.

So it's not just the Masked Fool who wears a mask of joy; the Mourner also does. Until everything is revealed, no one knows who you're really facing. After all, the Masked Fool is a master of disguise.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the mourners are better than the masked fools. They travel in magnificent gondolas, like star trains that can traverse the stars, to desolate and empty worlds, offering elegiac laments for collapsed civilizations.

Therefore, their appearance usually indicates that either a catastrophe that has already destroyed a civilization has occurred, or that such a catastrophe is about to happen.

However, if it's just a casual meeting or simply seeking help, they are indeed a good choice.

It is clear that Yu Tianyi is not one of these categories.

"This person has spotted me. It doesn't seem to be a prank or anything like that. This is in a bad situation."

Yu Tianyi deliberately used only conventional tracking methods, but given his current physical condition, even a normal person who hadn't embarked on their destiny would hardly be able to detect him.

However, the mysterious masked man was clearly not among them. After discovering that Yu Tianyi was following him, his body stiffened slightly for a moment. Although it was very subtle, Yu Tianyi still noticed it.

"I do not recall that the Immortal Boat has invited any distinguished guests from Joy. What brings you here?"
