Dan Heng transformed into Imbibitor Lunae during the battle against Blade in a recent story quest in Honkai Star Rail. The Stellaron Hunter managed to inflict a fatal injury to Heng, which unleashed his power of dragon transmutation, leading to his exciting transformation into an upcoming 5-star character.

The current Imbibitor Lunae is the reincarnation of Dan Feng, who was punished by the Xianzhou Commissions for his heinous crimes. Even after rebirth, he was captured in the Shakling Prison before getting banished from this game's Luofu faction.

Furthermore, Dan Feng passed on the power of the Abundance to Blade, formerly known as Yingxing. As a result, the latter was transformed into an unstable immortal that shares resentment towards Lunae and his subsequent reincarnation.
