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

Chapter 445 What is the Abyss Dimension Afraid Of? Five Soul Bones for Lu Jun

A vast, pure, yet nauseating abyssal aura surged forth from it like a torrent.

What made Xu Tiandi's scalp tingle even more was that along with the abyssal aura, there was also a divine pressure that was above all things, as if a single thought could cause stars to collapse, and made his soul tremble!

As soon as the residual force of this pressure swept over him, the magnificent imperial golden light around Emperor Xu Tian flickered violently like a candle in the wind, and the vast soul power gathered on his body even began to collapse and dissipate on its own.

His forward momentum was abruptly halted by this irresistible pressure, leaving him suspended above the sea, his face filled with unprecedented shock and horror.

"This level of aura... Abyss Saint King? How is that possible... Has the dimensional seal already failed?"

Emperor Xu roared in a low voice, his heart filled with turbulent waves.

The entity beyond the spatial rift did not respond to his shock.

Instead, the Demon Emperor, who was about to disappear into the rift, suddenly turned around. His purple-gold eyes pierced through space and stared intently at Emperor Xu. The resentment and coldness in his gaze could almost freeze one's soul.

Without hesitation, she slipped into the terrifying crack.

The instant the Demon Emperor entered, the massive spatial rift seemed to be caressed by an invisible, supreme hand, wriggling and healing, returning to its original state almost instantly. The sea and sky became calm again, as if the world-destroying scene just now was merely an illusion.

Only the lingering abyssal aura in the air and the slightly pulsating soul power within Xu Tiandi's body proved the authenticity of the terrifying scene just now.

Xu Tiandi stood frozen in place, his heart filled with turbulent waves, unable to calm down for a long time.

"The Abyss Plane... can it so easily tear apart the spatial barrier of the Douluo Plane?"

"Doesn't this mean that they can appear in any corner of Douluo Star at any time and launch a full-scale, all-encompassing invasion?"

But if that's the case, given the strength of the Abyss Plane, especially the despairing pressure he felt just now... why haven't the Abyss Saint and the Abyss Plane launched a full-scale attack yet?

What exactly are they afraid of?
As Emperor Xu recalled history from six thousand years ago, his expression became solemn.

Countless questions and immense pressure instantly gripped the heart of the federal speaker.

"Fortunately, making every effort to help everyone become stronger was the right choice."

He frowned deeply, and in the end, he could only gaze longingly at the now calm sea, filled with doubt and shock, before returning empty-handed.

At the port of the far north city, Lu Jun, who had been observing the battle with his divine eyes, also witnessed the scene just now and was greatly shocked.

"That aura just now... it definitely surpassed that of an ordinary god-level being, it was at the strength of a first-level god?"

"Could it be the Abyss Saint King himself? He actually awakened ahead of schedule?"

A wave of fear washed over me.

fortunately!

Fortunately, I was cautious enough and did not recklessly rush forward to intercept and kill the Demon Emperor just because I had the Ice Abyss Sword.

Otherwise, if he were to run head-on into that being, in his current state, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a divine artifact being delivered to his doorstep.

But soon, he and Emperor Xu Tian had the same confusion.

Since the Abyss Plane possesses such an easy ability to invade, coupled with the Abyss Saint King who is at least a first-level god, its overall strength can almost crush the current Douluo Star.

Why bother with so many underhanded tactics?

Why not launch a full-scale invasion?
What are they afraid of?

Lu Jun frowned, his mind racing.

Are they afraid of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena?

He quickly dismissed his own idea.

"No...that's not right. Logically speaking, from their perspective, the Abyss Plane shouldn't know that Gu Yuena has awakened, let alone that the Silver Dragon King is still on Douluo Continent. Even the Sun Moon Federation doesn't know this." So who are they afraid of?

With too little information, it was impossible to draw an accurate conclusion. In the end, Lu Jun could only shake his head helplessly, burying this doubt deep in his heart.

We'll find out sooner or later anyway.

For Lu Jun, it's actually a good thing that they aren't launching a full-scale invasion.

Meanwhile, Emperor Xu had already returned to the city in the far north.

His expression had returned to calm, but the trace of solemnity remaining deep in his eyes did not escape the eyes of Leng Yaozhu, Dong Zian, and Atai.

Seeing him return safely, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with their cultivation levels, they couldn't see the specific details of the battle between Emperor Xu and the Demon Emperor from such a distance.

But the return of Emperor Xu means that the biggest crisis has apparently been resolved.

"Everything is over. Now we can proceed with the cleanup and finalization."

Emperor Xu's voice returned to its usual calm and steady tone.

His gaze swept over the massive corpses of the soul beasts on the battlefield, and the crimson soul rings floating above them, radiating immense energy fluctuations.

He raised his ancient walking stick, the sapphire at the top of which glowed faintly, and gestured towards the spirit rings from afar.

Instantly, an invisible force enveloped those soul rings that were over 100,000 years old.

They trembled slightly, as if drawn by some force, transforming into streaks of light that were drawn into the gem at the tip of the cane.

The gemstone shimmered with light, as if undergoing some kind of refining and sealing process.

A moment later, several special metal devices, shimmering with different lusters and surrounded by runes, emerged from the gem.

Xu Tiandi handed these devices to Leng Yaozhu:
"These 100,000-year-old soul rings possess immense and unruly energy, making them difficult for ordinary soul masters to absorb. It is most appropriate to entrust them to your Spirit Pagoda for processing. They can be used for research or bestowed upon specific individuals; the decision is yours."

Leng Yaozhu was slightly taken aback, looking at the device in front of her that represented several hundred thousand-year soul rings. This was undoubtedly a huge resource and wealth.

She accepted it without much hesitation:

"Thank you, Speaker. The Spirit Pagoda will handle this properly."

The Spirit Pagoda excels at techniques like spirit rings, so entrusting them with this task is naturally the best choice.

"Where are the soul bones? Have they all been collected?" Emperor Xu looked at the corpses of the soul beasts, his tone tinged with emotion. "Three 100,000-year-old demonic soul great white sharks, one 200,000-year-old demonic soul great white shark king, two 200,000-year-old octopus beasts, and one 500,000-year-old deep-sea octopus... This generous gift is arguably the greatest harvest humanity has seen in nearly 10,000 years. They have truly given us a great gift."

Dong Zian immediately stepped forward, holding a pile of soul bones in his hands:
"Reporting to the Speaker, all the soul bones have been collected and are here."

Three 100,000-year-old demonic great white shark soul bones, two 200,000-year-old octopus beast soul bones, and one 500,000-year-old deep-sea octopus beast soul bone with the most terrifying aura and deep color.

Emperor Xu Tian's gaze swept over these priceless treasures, and after a moment's thought, he made his allocation:
"In this battle against the Green Skull organization's invasion, Zi'an, you fought valiantly and made invaluable contributions. Tianfeng provided timely support and slew the strongest ferocious beast, making a great contribution as well. You two will each take one of these two 200,000-year-old octopus beast soul bones."

He pointed to the three 100,000-year-old soul bones, the top-grade soul bone produced by the 200,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King, and the most precious 500,000-year-old soul bone, and said in a calm tone:

"As for these three 100,000-year-old soul bones, the 200,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King soul bone, and this 500,000-year-old soul bone..."

His gaze shifted to Lu Jun, who stood quietly to the side, dressed in pristine white.

"Give them all to Lu Jun."

Lu Jun: "???"

what?
For me?
real or fake?
