Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: The Judgment of the Dragon Knights

Huang Liangwei waved his hand, seemingly concentrating on sensing something. At this moment, light flickered again, and another figure appeared by their side. It was the Sky Dragon Secondary Leader, Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, who had arrived.

The two Dragon Knights now stood silently beside Lan Xuanyu, observing “her” and feeling the destructive energy emanating from “her” body.

“Secondary Leader, I can’t quite discern Lan’s condition. Why is her state so unstable and chaotic?” Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei remarked. Indeed, with his strength as a Super Douluo, even he couldn’t completely understand Lan Xuanyu’s specific condition at the moment. Her current state was truly peculiar. The destructive energy seemed entirely attached to her body, constantly invading it. Yet her own energy hadn’t diminished as one might expect; instead, it seemed to be guiding the destructive energy into her, causing her aura to become highly unstable.

Zhong Zhichang narrowed his eyes slightly, divine brilliance flickering within them, and his powerful divine consciousness enveloped Lan Xuanyu almost instantly.

A moment later, the Dawn Dragon Knight’s face revealed a hint of surprise. He glanced at Lan Xuanyu, then at Bai Xiuxiu beside her, before finally turning his gaze back to Huang Liangwei.

“What a clever girl! She really dares to think big,” Zhong Zhichang mumbled, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. His expression was peculiar, but there was clearly admiration in his tone.

“What’s going on?” Huang Liangwei asked curiously.

Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang replied, “She’s guiding the destructive energy into her body to suppress her own cultivation, preventing her from uncontrollably breaking through due to her excessively high cultivation level. This is truly…”

Huang Liangwei exclaimed in shock, “You mean she’s using this destructive energy to suppress her bloodline power and dragon power, delaying her ascension to God Rank to accumulate more strength?”

Zhong Zhichang nodded and said, “Exactly. Moreover, her injuries aren’t as serious as they appear on the surface. Her meridians are almost completely intact, and the damage is superficial. Her body’s quenching level far exceeds that of an ordinary God-level powerhouse, and her bloodline is much stronger than before, with remarkable self-healing capabilities. I dare say, even if that Eight-Armed Demon God Crown Prince had seen through the illusion earlier, she might still have been able to deal a lethal blow to him. But since the illusion succeeded, she simply played along and feigned injury.”

His eyes flashed with incredulity as he continued, “Initially, I thought her proposal for the martial contest to select a spouse was reckless and impulsive. Now it seems she truly had absolute confidence in herself, and indeed, she pulled it off! Give her a Tianyang Crystal and let her absorb it. She should be able to stabilize soon.”

“Alright.” Huang Liangwei also showed admiration on his face. He had already retrieved the Tianyang Crystals from the payment barrel earlier. Now, he took one out and lightly flicked his wrist, causing the peculiar crystal to drift down onto Lan Xuanyu’s body.

At this moment, Bai Xiuxiu could clearly see what the Tianyang Crystal looked like. It was a hexagonal, completely transparent crystal with a faint milky white hue. Within the white glow, there was a trace of pale green color. The crystal was brimming with dense life energy, and beyond that, it seemed to emanate another kind of unique aura—an energy that transcended any attribute she knew.

Huang Liangwei explained coolly, “The greatest advantage of a Tianyang Crystal is that it carries a hint of creation. This is the true foundation of strength for our Dragon Horse Twin Stars, representing the true core of life. Unfortunately, it’s incredibly difficult to nurture more Tianyang Crystals. Otherwise, if we had plenty of them, we could…”

He paused and shook his head slightly.

Creation? The thought sprang up sharply in Bai Xiuxiu’s mind. The essence of life lies in creation—creation, the antithesis of destruction. Within this Tianyang Crystal, that energy had actually reached the level of creation, or at least contained a tiny trace of it.

Sure enough, as the Tianyang Crystal hovered over Lan Xuanyu’s body, it seemed to sense the destructive energy below. Soft white radiance immediately spread outward, and the hexagonal Tianyang Crystal began to spin gently, releasing rays of light that silently penetrated into Lan Xuanyu’s body.

The destructive energy that covered Lan Xuanyu’s body seemed to react, swiftly surging into her body. At the same time, a layer of seven-colored dragon scales emerged on her skin.

All prior wounds had completely vanished, revealing intact seven-colored dragon scales. Even more striking, now there appeared an additional trace of deep purple radiance beyond the seven colors, forming an eighth hue.

This eighth hue fluctuated wildly but began to subside as the energy from the Tianyang Crystal continued to flow out. Gradually, it hid beneath the seven-colored radiance and disappeared.

The Tianyang Crystal slowly descended, resting on Lan Xuanyu’s chest, emitting soft light waves that continued to infuse her body.

Lan Xuanyu remained quietly lying there. The previously unstable aura on her body gradually stabilized, while the energy within the Tianyang Crystal quickly diminished, and its color began to fade. In just ten minutes, it had transformed into a piece of seemingly transparent glass.

“Crack!” A fissure appeared on the surface of the Tianyang Crystal. In the next moment, it shattered, turning into powder and falling from Lan Xuanyu’s chest.

“This…” The two Dragon Knights stared at the scene, stunned.

They understood far better than anyone else how abundant the life energy contained within a Tianyang Crystal was. Yet Lan had fully absorbed it in such a short time—utterly inconceivable! The amount of life energy it contained was even more than an entire small planet. Was her body a bottomless abyss?

Lan Xuanyu’s dragon scales gradually disappeared back into her body. An extraordinary aura flowed through her, but her dress remained torn, with splotches of dried blood. However, her complexion had already turned rosy.

Through the tattered dress, faint glimpses of her skin could be seen. Both Dragon Knights averted their gaze out of respect, deliberately turning away from her.

Zhong Zhichang addressed Bai Xiuxiu, “Take good care of her. She should be fine now and will wake up soon. As for this afternoon’s joint discussion, participate if you can. If not, just rest in the estate. In any case, if you do attend… well, no need for me to remind you. Lan will know what to do. That’s all.”

With that, Zhong Zhichang exchanged a glance with Huang Liangwei. The two vanished in flashes of light simultaneously.

Once they departed, Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly approached Lan Xuanyu. She knew better than anyone Lan Xuanyu’s capabilities, but when the destructive energy had begun invading Lan Xuanyu’s body earlier, she’d been terrified. Only upon seeing the illusory projection created by the Treasure Hunting Beast did she confirm that Lan Xuanyu was likely okay.

Coupled with Zhong Zhichang’s explanation just now, Bai Xiuxiu understood Lan Xuanyu’s actions much better. She quickly moved closer to him but refrained from touching him, simply waiting silently.

Soon after, Lan Xuanyu parted his lips, releasing a long breath of faint black mist that dissipated into the air.

In the next moment, he opened his eyes, seeing Bai Xiuxiu’s concerned gaze next to him. He gave her a gentle nod, “I’m fine now. Don’t worry.”

Bai Xiuxiu couldn’t help but raise her hand, ready to hit him playfully. This guy, always making her worry! But, afraid of aggravating his injuries, she ultimately didn’t carry through.

Lan Xuanyu sat up, quietly assessing the situation around him before speaking to Bai Xiuxiu, “Support me. Let’s head back to the residence and talk there.” Without saying much else, he expressed nothing further.
