Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Huanlong's figure gradually appeared, her left hand lazily resting on her chin as she looked down at the crowd. A fan formed from the Jianmu tree fell into her hand, and she gently fanned herself.

"Everyone, do you see this beautiful body? The miracle of [Abundance] truly lives up to its name."

"Let me see what I can do with it, oh~"

"By the way, I find these strange suits of armor belonging to Benefactor Chen Jie quite interesting."

"Presumably, the talented person from the Azure Immortal Ship a hundred years ago, as mentioned in the legends of the Immortal Ship, is you?"

"A hundred years ago? But wasn't Chen Jie only twenty-two years old?"

Hearing the comment that March 7th was inappropriate, Chen Jie rolled his eyes helplessly. What happened to the promise to change it?

Walter's mind nearly exploded after hearing this. Dust Calamity's origins were confirmed; Estella's introduction was very detailed—a native of Azure Planet, twenty-two years old, a genius no less than the Black Tower.

So how did a short-lived species learn martial arts and make contributions on the Yaoqing Immortal Ship a hundred years ago, and then suddenly grow up on the Azure Star as if it had rejuvenated?

Walter simply couldn't understand it.

Xing was different. She didn't even think about it. After all, Chen Jie was a friend, family, and one of her own, but he would never be an enemy.

Why think so much? Why make yourself have a headache?

Suddenly, two radiant golden lotuses appeared before Huanlong.

It began to rotate and shrink, and threads-like things began to appear on everyone's bodies, converging towards the lotus flower.

This included Jing Yuan, something he hadn't even considered possible.

"What, what is this? I feel a little tired? Wait a minute, why isn't Chen Jie on me?"

Huanlong was also surprised, and chuckled softly, her fan slightly obscuring her face.

"Hmm? It seems that Benefactor Chen Jie has quite a few secrets. Despite being a short-lived species, he has lived for so long and remains young."

"Could it be that you tainted the Moon of Fetal Movement on the Azure Immortal Ship back then?"

For some reason, upon hearing this, Jing Yuan subconsciously looked at Chen Jie.

"Thunder Strike"

A beam of white light shot into the sky, shattering a mystical lotus and instantly halving its extraction effect.

Even so, the white light continued its relentless attack on Huanlong without diminishing its momentum.

"Ok?"

Huanlong frowned slightly and subconsciously waved her fan to defend herself, but an unexpected scene unfolded.

A powerful force acted on the fan, causing Huanlong's body to tremble. Instinctively, he turned the fan to look and saw a long mark imprinted on it.

This kind of power is interesting.

"It seems that Benefactor Chen Jie was once a person of high rank and power in the Yaoqing Immortal Ship. Could it be that he lost to General Tianji when he was running for the position of general, and therefore left the Yaoqing Immortal Ship in a fit of anger?"

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot, and Jing Yuan and Chen Jie inside the armor even had strange expressions on their faces.

You lost the competition for the general's position to General Feixiao, the Heavenly Strike General? Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Chapter 118 The decisive battle begins

"Hmm, did Benefactor Chen Jie truly exert his strength?"

Huanlong shook the fan in her hand, and the fan, which had almost broken, was instantly restored to its original state.

"If that's all there is to it, then the savior, Dust Calamity, hasn't been a very competent one, has he? Hmph~"

On March 7th, seeing Huanlong's affected manner, he exclaimed in surprise.

"I never imagined that Huanlong would be not only bad, but also so disgusting?"

Instantly, Huanlong's smile froze on his face, and anger surfaced in his eyes.

"Since you are all so unwilling to accept this, then let this power that granted the Immortal Ship immortality be used to deliver [destruction] upon you."

Huanlong waved the fan in her hand, and with a gentle lift, countless rays of light appeared, forming illusory lotuses.

"Huanlong has seized the power of Jianmu for her own use. Everyone, do your utmost to destroy these Illusory Lotuses. Chenjie and I will destroy her physical body."

Chen Jie, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked at Jing Yuan. Then Jing Yuan spoke again.

"This body is a hunting spear, to slay evil creatures and wipe out demonic bandits!"

Huanlong narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone mocking: "How utterly shameless of you to attempt to destroy this noble body born from the Jianmu tree."

At this point, Huanlong seemed to be amused by his own words, and chuckled.

"In Huanlong's view, you all seem as insignificant as ants right now."

On March 7th, unable to contain himself any longer, he was about to retort when Huanlong lightly waved his fan, unleashing an endless gust of wind.

"Wow! What a strong wind!"

Watching himself being blown backward little by little, March 7th was utterly shocked.

"Be careful, March."

Seeing that the train crew couldn't even withstand the strong wind, Huanlong's disdain deepened, and his attention was mainly on Jingyuan and Chenjie.

She seemed to have had enough fun; with a gentle swipe of her finger upwards, countless thick Jianmu trees rose from the ground, coiling towards the two like robust water snakes.

"Gentlemen, try to break free of this cage!"

Without even glancing at him, Chen Jie slammed his Thunder Axe into the ground, unleashing a ring of white energy that radiated outwards from him.

Wherever the white light passed, the vines all snapped and broke.

Just as Jing Yuan was about to make his move, holding the Dream-Body Stone, he realized it was much easier and couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, mere vines, I can break them with a flick of my wrist."

Huanlong wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she seemed to enjoy it: "Showing off."

"The general is completely unharmed and hasn't even been stabbed once!"

"So this is how the allies and reinforcements of the Immortal Ship are used?"

Jing Yuan frowned slightly. He wasn't surprised that Huanlong, who enjoyed the self-destruction of things and living beings, would say things that sow discord.

He was certain that the people on the Dust Tribulation Star Train wouldn't be misled, but he inexplicably disliked hearing such words.

At this moment, the three members of the train crew were attacking the Illusion Lotus, and as the number of Illusion Lotus flowers decreased, the feeling of their strength being drained also diminished.

On the seventh day of the third month, she drew her bow and fired an ice arrow that struck the Illusion Lotus. In the brief opening, she noticed several thick, powerful roots of the Jianmu tree reaching for Xing. She quickly cast a shield on Xing, while simultaneously grumbling incessantly...

"Wow, Huanlong is really wicked, she's even trying to sow discord!"

Although the shield was pierced by the sharp tip of the Jianmu Xuan Gen in one go, the gap was enough for Xing to dodge the attack. He couldn't help but turn around and give San Yueqi a thumbs up.

"March, thanks to you"

"Hehe, we're like brothers, let's do our best to defeat that big bad guy Huanlong!"

That's how March 7th is; it unexpectedly unleashes its talent and ability to lighten up what would otherwise be a dull and serious scene.

Huanlong noticed this as well, and looked at March 7 with great curiosity.

"My benefactor on the seventh day of the third month is truly extraordinary; he seems to share some similarities with me."

Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately became furious and retorted, "Who has anything in common with you? Don't talk nonsense!"

Huanlong chuckled, "Of course, it's because you and I are both pretty good at telling jokes, although they're all corny jokes that no one will believe."

March 7th was taken aback by what she heard. Unable to understand for a moment, she made a face and quickly dodged the attack.

"If you continue to be so stubborn, I'll take your life."

Dust Calamity raised the Thunder Axe, his tone calm. Two luminous stickers appeared strangely before him, unlike the previous one; each sticker was larger than the last.

"Hmm? Dust Calamity also has hidden power? We've never seen Dust Calamity use two cards at once before."

March 7's eyes sparkled as he looked at the shiny, large, white, square card.

"Oh? Is Benefactor Chen Jie preparing to unleash his power?"

Huanlong narrowed her eyes slightly. This was the first time she had ever seen something like this. However, seeing the joyful and surprised look on Sanyueqi's face, it seemed that this luminous sticker, resembling a card, couldn't be allowed to be used by Chenjie.

At this point in his thoughts, Huanlong slightly clenched his hand, and suddenly, as if an earthquake had struck the cave, countless Jianmu Xuangen (mysterious roots) rose from the ground.

Like a swarm of demonic snakes dancing wildly, they lashed out aimlessly and even swept across the ground.

He was swept away without warning.

"Ouch!"

"March!"

The group looked over in alarm, only to see that March 7th, who was still in the air, had only had his shield shattered and had landed safely. Their eyes twitched involuntarily.

They thought it was from being hit in pain, but thankfully only the shield was broken.

"Hehe, the benefactor of March 7th is truly interesting."

Seeing Chen Jie forced to chop down trees after his spellcasting was interrupted, Huanlong's sense of crisis immediately subsided considerably, completely unaware that this was also a harbinger of impending doom.

"Everything in the universe will end in destruction, including the Hunt and the Abundance. So why resist?"

"Zixiao Zhenyao!"

A dazzling purple lightning bolt, accompanied by a dreamlike streak of stone fire, transformed into a terrifying slash and struck towards Huanlong, but unexpectedly, Huanlong raised his hand to block it.

Although the attack left a considerable wound on Huanlong's arm, the wound healed completely in an instant.

"Hmph, General of the Immortal Ship, can your feeble strength really withstand this calamity in Luofu?"

"However, to crush a swarm of ants, nothing is more suitable than sending a star crashing down."

The fan vanished from his hand, and Huanlong's free hand reached towards the sky, his fingers contracting as if grasping at something.

The next second, a "star" was somehow drawn down by Huanlong, and the world turned upside down at that moment.

As if trapped in an illusion, the surrounding illusory lotuses and mystic roots all vanished, and they were all standing on that "star".

Huanlong, on the other hand, is like a god magnified countless times, holding this "star" in the palm of his hand.

As Huanlong's cold smile deepened, she tightened her grip on the "star," causing countless cracks to spread across its entirety before it shattered with a deafening roar.

As darkness fell and everyone regained consciousness, the surrounding scene was not a star explosion; it was more like everything that had just happened was an illusion, not reality.
