The dragon maiden's confidence was indeed reassuring.

Bochang welcomed this attitude and responded, "Excellent! Then use your Flame Fist against him!"

"Flame Fist? What's that? I don't know how to do it..." Bailu shook her head, causing the massive dragon's head to sway, stirring up a fierce gust of wind.

To be fair,

Although the colossal lavender dragon appeared slightly smaller than the Doomsday Beast,

its aura...

was utterly incomparable to that of the Doomsday Beast.

The recent dragon roar had echoed throughout Luofu Immortal Continent, leaving everyone who heard it astounded, including Cloud Knight Jing Yuan.

Initially composed while seated on his Throne of Divine Foresight, he now found himself completely unsettled.

The Alchemy Commission was virtually thrown into chaos.

Throughout the Xianzhou, every descendant of Vidyadhara felt their blood surge at the sound of that dragon's roar.

Even those severely ill and bedridden among them abruptly sat up, as if jolted by a sudden burst of energy amidst their frailty.

At Stargazer Navalia, Kafka murmured softly:

"Has another unexpected event occurred? I hope Bladie succeeds this time; otherwise... the script will be disrupted once more..."

With these words, Kafka gently sighed.

If only he had known earlier that Bochang was an anomaly beyond fate's control. He should have captured him back at the Herta Space Station.

Unfortunately...

At that time, Kafka did not find Bochang mentioned within the scripts stored in Elio, assuming him to be an insignificant minor character. Consequently, he paid little attention to him.

Who would have thought that the insignificant underling, who once eagerly recognized his mother upon waking, could now significantly impact the overall situation?

On Jarilo VI, what should have been Stelle's acquisition of the Preservation fate path's power was entirely thwarted.

The Stellaron Hunters were forced to recalibrate their plans, inadvertently increasing everyone's workload.

Even more infuriating... Stelle's behavior had shifted, veering dramatically towards Bochang, displaying an inexplicable attachment to him.

Everything began spiraling rapidly downhill.

This is why, upon arriving at Xianzhou, the Stellaron Hunters immediately targeted Bochang. Their original plan involved capturing him at Stargazer Navalia, but unexpectedly, he never showed up there.

They had no choice but to activate their contingency plan.

Fate, like countless intertwined threads, constantly shifts and changes, necessitating readiness for any unforeseen circumstances.

Elio's script included ample contingency plans, so Kafka remained unconcerned about Blade's safety. Even if they couldn't capture Bochang, Kafka believed that Blade would undoubtedly be able to escape.

The unexpected developments unfolding now were also within Elio's predictions. If Kafka recalled correctly, in the script, when strange loud noises echoed throughout Luofu Immortal Continent...it signified that half of Blade's operation had already failed.

With only ten seconds remaining, if the capture was not achieved by then, Blade must withdraw immediately. Continuing beyond this point would serve no purpose.

Kafka had his own tasks to complete and lacked the time to assist Blade. All he could do was hope for a successful mission completion. Otherwise...a single unforeseen action by Bochang could leave the Stellaron Hunters' carefully laid plans in shambles.

Honestly speaking, even Elio had hesitated significantly before providing the script for this operation.

Regarding this capture operation, Elio had hesitated for quite some time before revealing his plan.

It made Kafka suspect that there might be many undisclosed aspects to the situation.

However... those details were not crucial at the moment.

All Kafka needed to do was follow the plan; she trusted that Elio would have everything under control.

Originally, Bailu anticipated her Water Prison to restrain Blade for at least ten seconds. However, the burst of the massive water sphere occurred...

significantly faster than expected.

Dozens of blood-red sword auras emerged like shark fins, surging outward and carving deep trenches across the ground.

The water sphere exploded like a bursting balloon with a deafening roar.

From within, Blade leaped out.

An elegant yet imposing lavender dragon locked its gaze on its enemy without needing any command from Bochang.

Bailu initiated the attack spontaneously, opening her jaws as countless bolts of lightning surged forth, momentarily turning the sky and earth blindingly white, draining all colors from the surroundings.

Blade's pupils slightly contracted.

The shattered ancient sword in his hand swiftly reformed into its full-length blade.

Realizing he couldn't evade, Blade had no choice but to meet Bailu's assault head-on with his primitive longsword.

He was instantly engulfed by a torrent of lightning.

The thunderous roar echoed loudly.

Wearing noise-canceling headphones, Serval remained unaffected, focusing intently on Blade.

As this adversary broke free once again...

Serval remained tense, fearing that Bailu might not be able to overcome the Stellaron Hunters.

Fortunately, her concerns were unfounded.

With a single blast, Bailu knocked Blade down, leaving him half-kneeling amidst a charred crater, his body covered with severe burns and wounds.

Just as everyone thought he was incapacitated beyond recovery,

Blade rose again.

The burnt skin peeled off like shattered eggshell fragments, revealing pristine white flesh beneath.

"Is he completely unharmed?" Bailu was astonished.

Undeterred, Blade continued his charge forward.

Panicking slightly, Bailu hastily controlled the water, once more raising towering waves.

She aimed to repeat her tactic, overwhelming the enemy with force.

A deluge cascaded downward, instantly flooding several streets.

However, Blade feigned this move merely to distract Bailu, drawing her focus ahead while he swiftly retreated behind the cover of the waves.

Using the surge to conceal himself, he abruptly vanished, leaving them unsure of his whereabouts.

Witnessing this, Bailu asked, "Bochang, should we pursue?"

"No...no need to chase," replied Bochang, shaking his head.

Bochang shook his head.

For him, merely repelling the Stellaron Hunters was sufficient. Continuing the pursuit risked falling into potential traps, which would only complicate matters...

To prevent Blade from circling back for a surprise attack, Bochang instructed, "Bailu, take to the skies."

"Understood."

The colossal lavender dragon spread its wings, making its already massive form appear even larger as it unfurled them. The awe-inspiring creature ascended, casting a vast shadow below.

The onlookers from Xianzhou were utterly spellbound.

The exception was the Vidyadhara people; witnessing the pale purple dragon soaring amidst the clouds caused them to jump with excitement or trepidation aboard Xianzhou Luofu. Whether their reaction stemmed from joy or fear was unclear.

After all, the Imbibitor Lunae Rebellion had occurred centuries ago, leaving an indelible mark on the Vidyadhara populace's collective memory.

"It seems we have no choice but to retreat..." Blade, hidden in the shadows, glanced at the colossal dragon in the sky before stealthily disappearing into the darkness.

Bochang and Serval stood atop the shoulders of the massive lavender dragon, gazing down upon the Xianzhou people below.

After infusing the Dragon Talisman's magic into Bailu, a mysterious connection formed between her and Bochang. Though it might be just his imagination, Bochang couldn't help but notice that even in her draconic form, Bailu appeared remarkably graceful and striking.

"What am I thinking...?" Bochang hastily dismissed these peculiar thoughts.

Just then...

From the Seat of Divine Foresight emerged the cloud knight, General Jing Yuan.
