Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 180 Tyrannosaurus Rex: One bite and it's crunchy, I want more!
"No!"

Tang Lie only had time to let out a desperate scream that seemed to shatter his soul before he was swallowed whole.

The sounds of bones shattering and flesh being crushed rang out.

The giant mouth suddenly closed.

The terrifying bite force erupted instantly.

Tang Lie's proud Soul Emperor cultivation was easily pierced and torn apart like paper in the face of this pure physical force.

Most of his body, along with the Soul-Chasing Crescent Blade that was unleashing the Boundary-Severing Crescent Slash, was instantly bitten off and chewed up by those guillotine-like, gleaming white teeth.

Blood gushed from the giant maw like a waterfall, mixing with fragments of broken armor and internal organs, pouring onto the frozen ice below, forming a shocking crimson stain.

The dark, round moon, having lost the support of its master's soul power, vanished instantly.

Lu Jun narrowly avoided the foul stench that followed the closing of the giant maw.

He turned his head suddenly and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A colossal beast, so large it blotted out the entire sky, stood in the center of the battlefield.

It resembles a Tyrannosaurus Rex magnified countless times, covered with thick, dark, metallic scales, its hind limbs, as thick as towering pillars, are deeply embedded in the ice, and its tail, like a battering ram, sweeps casually, carving deep trenches in the ground.

What's most unsettling are its two lava-gold vertical pupils, filled with primal savagery and an indifferent disdain for ants.

Just by standing there, the primordial ferocity emanating from him made the surrounding air thick and heavy.

A Tyrannosaurus Rex that is tens of thousands of years old.

It is known as the ancestor of earth dragons!
Lu Jun's lips twitched violently, and a million soul beasts galloped through his mind:

"...This is just too unlucky!"

Having just fought his way out of three Soul Emperors and a bunch of Soul Kings, his soul power was exhausted and he was seriously injured. Then, he turned around and bumped into the overlord at the top of the food chain in the intermediate spirit ascension platform.
This 10,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex is absolutely comparable in combat power to a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Even in his prime, let alone his current state, under the rules of the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform, he would have no chance of directly confronting him.

In the entire intermediate region, there is simply no one who can defeat it in a one-on-one fight.

What's more, this is an indomitable spirit.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lu Jun's mind.

Summon the four Title Douluo-level ice puppets sealed within the Ice Abyss Sword?
No, the rules of the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform are simply not strong enough to withstand that level of existence. Forcibly summoning it would only cause the rules to collapse, and it might even be judged as malicious destruction by the Spirit Ascension Platform system and kicked out directly.

Not to mention there are people watching the surveillance cameras outside.

Did he expose his Ice Abyss Sword, suspected to be a divine weapon, right under the nose of the Spirit Pagoda's bigwig?
That's just asking for trouble.

As for fighting?
He hit him on the head.

If you can run...

Look at that Tyrannosaurus Rex, it would be a miracle if it escaped.

The weighing of pros and cons happens in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jun made the wisest choice without hesitation.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped the virtual bracelet on his wrist, which represented the Spirit Ascension Platform system, with all his remaining strength.

"I'm just quitting, what can you do about it? I've absorbed enough spiritual energy anyway, bye-bye."

"I look forward to taking you into my ice golem when I come back next time, Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Lu Jun smiled, and then a soft but irresistible white light instantly enveloped his body.

Under the gaze of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's molten golden eyes, beside Tang Lie's remaining, still convulsing and bleeding lower body, Lu Jun's figure flickered a few times as if there was a bad signal, and then with a whoosh, completely disappeared from the spot. He came swiftly, and he left even more swiftly.

Only the ten-thousand-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had just tasted the Soul Emperor's snacks and seemed to still have some lingering enjoyment, remained.

Its enormous head turned toward the spot where Lu Jun had disappeared, and a hint of human confusion seemed to flash in its lava-golden eyes.

It seemed as if they were wondering why the little pastry, which exuded an enticing, icy aura, had suddenly disappeared.

It let out a low growl, causing ice shards to fall in a flurry. Its enormous foot casually stepped on Tang Lie's half-destroyed body, crushing an insignificant insect.

This Soul Emperor from the Tang Sect, filled with endless frustration and anger, ultimately ended his journey on the Spirit Ascension Platform in such an absurd and tragic way.

His death didn't even cause the slightest ripple in the face of that overlord soul beast.

An eerie silence fell over the monitoring room.

Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai watched the bloody and dramatic scene on the screen, their expressions quite interesting.

Leng Yulai's lips twitched. She pointed at the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the screen, which was curiously sniffing the spot where Lu Jun had disappeared, and then at Tang Lie's crushed half-body:

"What... what is this? A divine intervention? Or a way to shift blame? That kid from the Tang Clan died such a pathetic death!"

Leng Yaozhu rubbed her temples, a wry smile on her beautiful face: "This kid, his luck is really something, I don't know whether to call it good or bad."

She watched as Lu Jun decisively photographed the location where the signal disappeared, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes:
"However, this decisive action and... well, being pragmatic, is quite good. Knowing that something is impossible, preserving oneself is the most important thing."

"Hmph, they ran pretty fast." Leng Yulai crossed her arms, her tone somewhat complicated. "However, the Tang Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex have really lost face this time."

"Three Soul Emperors led a team to besiege a Soul Master, but two of them were killed in the process, and the last one was even... eaten as a snack by a Tyrannosaurus Rex."

"This is enough to keep the Spirit Pagoda laughing for a year."

Leng Yaozhu stared thoughtfully at the enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex figure on the screen:
"Why would the ancestor of earth dragons suddenly appear in the edge area? That's a bit unusual... It seems this period of unrest is indeed more intense than before. We need to have the people below strengthen their monitoring."

She paused, her gaze returning to the spot where Lu Jun had disappeared, a meaningful smile curving her lips: "However, after such a baptism, Lu Jun must have gained quite a bit, right? I'm really looking forward to his future growth."

……

As the soft white light dissipated, Lu Jun's figure solidified inside the private cabin.

As soon as he pushed open the hatch, carrying the lingering fatigue of the virtual world and his still unsettled mind, he saw Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yuena, Le Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, and Long Chen already waiting outside the hatch, their faces filled with excitement.

"Brother Lu, you're out." Xie Xie was the first to jump over, grinning with pride. "How about that? Aren't we awesome? You didn't see it, the six of us went straight for that Soul King."

Tang Wulin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still sparkling: "Although we all perished in the end, it felt pretty good to be able to work together to take down a Soul King."

Unfortunately, the Soul King launched a desperate counterattack before his death, forcing the six of them to retreat as well.

Le Zhengyu crossed his arms, wearing a nonchalant expression, but the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed his true feelings:

"Hmph, a mere Soul King is no match for our flawless teamwork."

"I bet he'll be so angry he'll vomit blood when he gets back, and he'll be beaten to death by a bunch of Soul Venerables. He'll lose face big time, haha!"

Long Chen kept a straight face, trying his best to maintain a serious expression:

"True strength lies in overcoming adversity with the weak. This battle proved the potential of our team."

His slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner excitement.

Looking at his comrades who, despite their mutual destruction, were still in high spirits and praising each other, Lu Jun felt a surge of tension and resentment after the battle.

Before I knew it, the cheerful atmosphere had dampened my spirits considerably.

A genuine smile appeared on his pale face:
"Well done."
