"You can leave now; no need to wait for me to eat."
Leon did not answer further, merely indicating that there was no need for Jing Yuan to wait for him.
The matter Jingliu sought coincided with the greatest "Causality" left upon Shuhu.
Back then, Baiheng had perished together with Shuhu. Under the annihilation of the Black Sun, their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and her flesh and blood fused together with Shuhu's.
Therefore, in the present where Shuhu had lived a second life, the greatest Causality remaining on Him belonged to Baiheng.
Thanks to this point, Leon could easily follow the thread of Causality to reach that specific node in time.
If the regret Jingliu had raised was regarding the Cangcheng, then he would likely have had to expend a bit more effort.
"What do you mean?"
Jing Yuan was puzzled, but just as he opened his mouth to say something...
Leon vanished directly, as if he had evaporated from the world.
Only a massive fluctuation of Imaginary energy remained lingering in the Shackling Prison.
"?"
A large question mark floated above Jing Yuan's head.
How could this person just disappear without a word?
"General Leon's foundation..."
After dazing for a moment, Jing Yuan's lips moved subconsciously.
"Is truly..."
He looked at the position where Leon had just been and sighed with emotion, "Unfathomable."
You never know what kind of big move Leon might pull out or concoct next from his body.
"Aha" really strictly selected this one.
...
Star Calendar, Year 7379. The Luofu. The Shuhu Upheaval.
"Terminus" descends causing regression; on the line of "Causality," I walk alone!
Wait until time falls into chaos, and I shall turn the tide with my stats!
The great hand of "Terminus" and the great hand of "The Hunt."
"Causality" and "Time," both exerting force simultaneously.
Delivering a Long-Life Stranger who saves the suffering and resolves difficulties, who is also a Galaxy Ranger that punishes evil and promotes good, to the battlefield!
I am the Heavenly Emperor; I shall suppress all enemies in this world!
Star Calendar, Year 7379.
This was a very special time node.
An Emanator of "The Abundance," in order to seize the Luofu's Ambrosial Arbor, led an army of one hundred thousand to press against the Xianzhou ship.
Nearly half of the delves were destroyed.
The Luofu suffered heavy casualties and its vitality was severely damaged in this battle.
Not one in ten Cloud Knights survived.
The former General of the Luofu, Tengxiao, also gloriously sacrificed himself in this campaign.
The group known as the High-Cloud Quintet advanced wave upon wave.
Because of their efforts, and a Foxian girl named Baiheng marching to her own death,
The Luofu successfully achieved victory. Everything ended at the moment that round Black Sun dissipated.
As for the content that followed,
It was a series of broken matters known as the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, created by the remaining four of the High-Cloud Quintet who could not accept the departure of their friend.
Of course, the above is all official history content.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoing up to the sky came from the side.
Leon cast his gaze toward the source of the sound. An azure dragon, executing the duty of moving clouds and raining, was engaging in a fierce struggle with a Thousand-Faced Grotesque Tree.
And now, Leon was about to activate the great hand of "The Enigmata" to exert force and begin fabricating history.
Who else wants to tell a story?
"Angry shout of a draconic species"
Another dragon chant resounded.
One could see the azure dragon tearing apart the tree's trunk with sharp claws. What was revealed inside was not the empty shell one would expect from a tree,
But a shadow of flesh and blood that shifted indeterminately.
This azure dragon was, of course, the current High Elder of the Luofu responsible for suppressing the Ambrosial Arbor at this point in time.
Dan Feng, titled Imbibitor Lunae.
Strictly speaking, he was also the last High Elder.
Because after this battle, the inheritance of the High Elder was broken in his hands. Since him, the Luofu had lost a High Elder in the true sense who could suppress the Ambrosial Arbor.
And that Thousand-Faced Grotesque Tree confronting him was naturally the Emanator of "The Abundance," Shuhu.
Even disregarding the aura He emitted,
Leon had just seen Him recently, so how could he not recognize Him?
"Cough cough..."
Not far from the two, a white-haired man who had fallen in a pile of Vidyadhara and Cloud Knight corpses slowly stood up.
The Zhuming artisan, Yingxing. One of the members of the High-Cloud Quintet.
"How... did things turn out like this..."
Yingxing clutched his chest, his body covered in wounds.
Blood flowed ceaselessly from his forehead; he was in a terribly wretched state.
However, from the fact that the man could bleed, one could tell he was not a Xianzhou native, who was a long-life species.
But a short-life species.
If he were a Xianzhou native, then as long as he still had consciousness,
The wound on his forehead would heal itself in mere moments.
Xianzhou natives had always been hard to kill. Even if beheaded, cut in two, or even having their heart gouged out, as long as it was reattached within a certain time,
Then that person could still live, and even recover as before before long.
As if they had never been injured at all.
Do not look at how the corpses of Xianzhou natives and Vidyadhara were scattered all over here.
They only died because Shuhu had stolen their souls, becoming new faces on the trunk of the Divine Envoy of "The Abundance."
If it were not for an "Emanator" taking action,
It would still be very difficult for ordinary people to put these two species to death in the true sense.
"Dan Feng..."
Yingxing coughed a few more times, and then bright red blood spilled uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
"You have to win..."
He dragged his overburdened body, casting his gaze toward the two engaging in combat not far away.
"After winning... you must properly change back to your original form for me..."
Yingxing looked at the azure dragon that was already no different from going mad, a heavy worry rising in his heart.
He truly did not want to turn weapons against his best friend...
"Earth-shaking shout of a draconic species"
Dan Feng's dragon heart surged with all its might, rousing claws, fangs, and breath to launch an angry attack at Shuhu!
The Dragon was the symbol of an Emperor!
As the authentic ancient Emperor of the Luofu, carrying the expectations of tens of thousands of people.
—How could he lose to Shuhu, this stinking outlander?
A stinking outlander Apostle of "The Abundance," coming to beg for food at our Ambrosial Arbor, the orthodoxy of "The Abundance."
"Progeny of 'The Permanence'?"
Shuhu did not dodge or evade, allowing the azure dragon's attacks to land on His body without missing a single hit.
Tengxiao had already been defeated by His hands.
He didn't even evade the Luofu General who was an Emanator of "The Hunt."
A tiny Pathstrider.
A mudfish who merely relied on some foundation of "The Permanence" to mistakenly think he had shed his snakeskin and sublimated into a dragon—on what basis should He evade him?
"Aside from Tengxiao, the Luofu actually cannot find another opponent who can let me enjoy myself to the fullest."
Those wounds left on Shuhu's body by Dan Feng healed as before in the blink of an eye.
This was undoubtedly quite despair-inducing.
After all, the damage one dealt with all their might was completely digested by the opponent in just one second.
In this moment where HP, Mana, and buffs were all about to bottom out.
How was he supposed to contend with this boss possessing super-healing capabilities?
Dan Feng could not get an answer. He could only let the dragon heart drive his dragon body to continue launching futile attacks.
"Is this the so-called 'After Tengxiao dies, everyone has the courage of Tengxiao'?"
Shuhu put away his playful attitude, his eyes looking at the azure dragon directly in front with a hint of seriousness.
"Little Dragon of 'The Permanence'."
He laughed once, deciding to bring this farce to a complete end.
"Do you really think you can compare to my attainments in 'The Permanence'?"
The Path of "The Abundance" was differentiated from "The Permanence." Therefore, "The Abundance" could completely say that a part of its philosophy was the practice of "The Permanence."
The sentiment towards "The Abundance,"
In a certain sense, could also be a sentiment towards "The Permanence."
This was also the reliance that allowed Shuhu to dare speak such words.
He had already walked a considerable distance on "The Abundance." As an "Emanator," how could He possibly lose to Dan Feng, who was merely a Pathstrider?
"Today, I, Shuhu, am determined to take this Ambrosial Arbor of the Luofu!"
As the words fell, a massive amount of vitality overflowed from Shuhu's body.
He decided to use His insights from the side of "The Abundance,"
To demonstrate to this little dragon what truly is "The Permanence"!
Thus, He made His move!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Filled with green, vines spewed out from the human faces on Shuhu's body!
At a considerably swift speed, before anyone could react...
They attacked the azure dragon high in the sky!
The output of an "Emanator" was naturally not something a Pathstrider could withstand. It was only natural that the vines easily entangled the shell of the azure dragon!
"Low roar of a struggling draconic species"
The azure dragon let out a painful hiss. Clearly, those vines were full of vitality.
But he could not feel a single bit of life force; instead, his own life was being drawn away by the vines.
There was not half a bit of healing, only pain!
"Take a look, little dragon. This is the great path to heaven named 'The Permanence'."
As the words fell, Shuhu used the vines that had just shot out as a medium for casting spells.
He displayed a bizarre scene to Dan Feng!
Stars opened and closed like blood-red cells while chanting; the universe fell into a abyss of flesh and desire!
Dan Feng was stunned instantly.
That restless dragon heart driving the azure dragon also slowly calmed down before such a magnificent scene.
—That's right. No matter how powerful.
Life... cannot possibly defeat the main body of the Envoy of the "God of Life"!
"Goodbye."
By the time Dan Feng came back to his senses, he had already been defeated by Shuhu.
The branches on the grotesque tree suddenly attacked from below, mercilessly piercing through his shell!
The azure dragon opened its mouth and couldn't help but cough out a mouthful of fresh blood!
Under a single blow, Dan Feng's dragon form became directly unstable.
"For the sake of you guarding the Ambrosial Arbor for me for so many years, I will spare your little life."
Shuhu said with bad taste.
With a squelch, the thick tree branch was removed by Shuhu from the pierced dragon body.
Immediately after, the azure dragon fell from the high sky.
With a bang, dust splattered everywhere.
When vision cleared, the High Elder of the Luofu could hardly maintain that true form.
He transformed back into human form, lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Dan Feng..."
Yingxing stared blankly at the High Elder falling from the high heavens, looking at his best friend's defeat.
"Hey, Dan Feng!"
He shouted loudly, attempting to wake up the High Elder.
"Stop joking! Stand up! That guy hasn't been defeated yet!"
Seeing the formerly high-and-mighty High Elder being beaten into such a wretched state for the first time, a feeling of unwillingness rose in Yingxing's heart. He gritted his teeth and spoke to him.
Dan Feng had no reaction.
A moment later, Yingxing took a deep breath.
He silently picked up the sword dropped nearby and walked toward Shuhu without saying a word.
Before the Xianzhou Alliance's reinforcements arrived, someone had to stall Him!
No matter what, Shuhu absolutely could not be allowed to take the Ambrosial Arbor!
Shuhu without the aid of the Ambrosial Arbor was already this difficult to deal with; he dared not imagine what it would be like after He obtained the Ambrosial Arbor.
Just how much trouble would He bring to the Xianzhou Alliance in the future!
Thinking of this, Yingxing's pace quickened, turning from a walk to a run.
He raised his sword, his eyes considerably resolute as he slashed toward Shuhu!
"Move!"
A familiar voice made Yingxing freeze briefly.
In the next moment, a starskiff fell toward this place from the sky!
Charging straight at Shuhu like an arrow!
Shuhu didn't even look; a human face on His body directly extended a branch to shoot down the starskiff.
But before the branch could hit,
The starskiff's pilot jumped out of the cockpit one step ahead!
"Yingxing, I leave the battlefield cleanup to you!"
The all-too-familiar Foxian appearance, accompanied by her last words entering his ears.
Appeared together before Yingxing's eyes.
"Wait, Baiheng, what are you doing!"
Yingxing's pupils contracted.
Watching Baiheng holding high a round of absolute darkness, a "Sun," charging toward Shuhu!
He didn't know what that Black Sun was, but that immeasurable energy fluctuation.
Even without knowing what it was, he could feel it from far away!
In less than a second, Yingxing realized that Baiheng prepared to perish together with Shuhu.
"Stop quickly! We definitely have other ways!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, his expression full of refusal to accept this!
"Maybe..."
Baiheng's voice was very light as she closed her eyes.
"But the Luofu doesn't have the time to wait for that way."
She was saying this to herself, seemingly trying to convince herself that she could not escape her sacrifice.
Her death was a necessity for the Luofu's salvation.
"What...?"
Shuhu's voice rarely carried a hint of panic.
Because He hadn't paid any attention to Baiheng at all.
By the time He noticed the anomaly and looked over, the Black Sun had already assaulted His face.
Feeling the powerful energy of this Black Sun, Shuhu subconsciously birthed the idea of using the Yaoshi Avatar.
But the problem was that after using the "Yaoshi" Avatar, He would fall into a period of weakness for a very long time.
If He exposed this trump card early.
Even with the help of the Ambrosial Arbor, He might not necessarily be able to escape the Xianzhou Alliance's hunt afterwards.
Shuhu hesitated for an instant.
The energy fluctuation of this Black Sun was certainly powerful, but there were no special properties existing upon it.
With His body as an Emanator of "The Abundance," He should be able to tank it hard?
It was precisely this instant of hesitation that gave the Black Sun an opportunity.
The Black Sun entered the void, sweeping both Baiheng and Shuhu into the storm of power.
"NO!!!"
Yingxing reached out his hand, screaming as if his heart were tearing and his lungs splitting.
His shout awakened the Luofu Sword Champion who had also been defeated in the previous confrontation.
Falling to the ground.
"Imbibitor... Lunae..."
Jingliu clutched her head, subconsciously standing up slowly.
She muttered the name of the High Elder who had fallen into dragon madness, seemingly worried about his current condition.
But in the next second, the scene before her eyes...
Made her, who was originally still unconscious, sober up instantly!
Jingliu did not see the azure dragon she had last seen before fainting.
Entering her view was only a Black Sun.
And...
The white-haired Foxian holding the Black Sun, delivering it to the face of the Divine Envoy of Abundance.
"Baiheng?"
Jingliu spoke subconsciously, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Boom!
After touching the target, the energy contained within the Black Sun erupted!
That destructive power seemed poised to shatter everything in the surroundings into the finest powder!
"Baiheng!!!"
Jingliu's eyes widened as she shouted, finding it hard to accept.
For no reason, a gentle breeze abruptly rose from the level ground.
Brushing against the face, lifting her hair, seemingly responding to her shout.
This wind was not cold, nor was it bone-chilling.
Hitting the face, it had an obvious warmth, just like that wisp of spring breeze that would appear from time to time in spring.
Full of vitality.
In the next moment,
A radiance closer to the color of "Yaoshi" than the "Abundance" power used by Shuhu erupted,
Enveloping the entire field, obscuring all lines of sight.
Both Jingliu and Yingxing could feel that the injuries on their bodies were healing in an extremely rapid manner.
Different from Shuhu's false "Abundance" that plundered and invaded under the banner of saving and treating.
To ordain conscience for Heaven and Earth, to secure life for the people.
An "Abundance" appeared out of thin air that could be summarized by the above two sentences as the first realization in one's heart,
Simply so righteous it verged on wicked.
To continue the lost teachings for past sages, and to establish peace... for all future generations!
The "Abundance" with the concept of a true Saint, closest to the behavior of "Yaoshi" Himself.
And... pure, and absolute power!
