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

Chapter 458 Modifying the Soul Bone, Upgrading it to Ice Attribute

Lu Jun snapped out of his shock and looked at Harosa, keenly catching the key words in his words:

"You mean...?"

Harosa's gaze, hidden beneath his hood, seemed to grow incredibly solemn as he slowly spoke:

"For the past ten thousand years, there has been a mysterious and powerful god-level being that has been trying to find and invade this place, attempting to steal or even devour the core source power of the Douluo plane, so as to elevate himself to the plane master of the entire Douluo star and completely control this world."

He paused, seemingly recalling some difficult years of guarding, and continued:
"Fortunately, the Douluo plane itself is very well preserved, possessing a powerful self-protection and repair system. More importantly..."

Harosa's gaze fell upon the faint traces of a barrier in this space, emanating a pale gray-white aura of holy death.

"There is a plane of the dead, and the beings within it, secretly protecting and reinforcing the defenses here. This is why the mysterious invader has not yet succeeded."

Harosa paused slightly at this point, then bowed respectfully towards Lu Jun, his tone tinged with apology:
"I apologize, Your Excellency. My teacher had very much hoped to meet you in person, but due to some urgent matters, he is unable to spare the time. I will be the one to receive you on his behalf. Please forgive me."

Having arrived at the most core secret place of Douluo Star and learned about the defense line of the undead plane, the origin of the plane, and the two earth-shattering figures who might exist behind Halosa, many of Lu Jun's doubts have been answered.

He lowered his eyes, suppressing his turbulent emotions, not forgetting his original purpose:

"It's alright. Now, regarding the 100,000-year-old ice-attribute soul bone..."

Harosa immediately chimed in, explaining:
"The solution lies here. By harnessing the most fundamental power of the Douluo Continent and relying on the supreme power of the divine artifact in your hand, it is possible to fundamentally transform your five water-attribute soul bones into ice-attribute soul bones that best suit you."

"Oh? You can actually do it like that?" Lu Jun was genuinely surprised to hear this.

Directly altering the inherent attributes of a soul bone is a method that can be described as defying the heavens.

“Yes,” Harosa affirmed. “Humans, Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, and all living beings existing in the Douluo Plane, their birth and evolution can be broadly considered as the result of the subconscious drive of the Douluo Plane.”

"Although the source power of soul beasts largely originates from the Silver Dragon King, this does not mean that the plane itself cannot influence and modify the attributes of the soul bones it nurtures."

He looked at Lu Jun, his tone becoming more serious:

"In particular, if the power of the Ice Abyss Sword, which represents the ultimate source of ice, were added to guide and solidify this transformation, it would become a natural and inevitable process."

Lu Jun nodded knowingly, a thought flashing through his mind.

A long sword, entirely ice-blue in color and with an ancient design, exuding an ancient chill, quietly appeared beside him; it was the Ice Abyss Sword itself.

The moment the Ice Abyss Sword appeared, the entire origin space of the Douluo plane trembled slightly.

The surrounding flowing bands of seven-colored primordial energy, especially the blue and white parts belonging to the water and ice categories, instantly became exceptionally active and bright, while the overall ambient temperature plummeted, as if even the laws of nature were about to be frozen.

Having witnessed firsthand this legendary artifact that had truly altered the course of the continent, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"Is this the legendary power of a divine artifact...? Indeed, when a divine artifact appears, heaven and earth resonate. It truly lives up to its reputation as an existence that single-handedly transformed the far north into a forbidden zone for all life." Lu Jun didn't respond further, directly taking the five shimmering soul bones from his storage device and suspending them in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Harosa immediately focused his mind and formed a strange hand seal, chanting ancient and obscure syllables.

As he guided them, the vast and gentle primal forces of the surrounding planes seemed to be summoned, converging like rivers flowing into the sea, forming streams of pure energy that gently enveloped the five soul bones.

Nourished by the water-attribute plane's origin, the soul bone shone brightly, its water elemental energy being stimulated to its fullest extent.

Just as the energy reached its peak, Harosa hurriedly shouted:

"Now is the time. Please infuse your divine artifact with its power to complete the final fixation and sublimation of its attributes."

Lu Jun's eyes narrowed, and he pointed his fingers like a sword, drawing upon the primal chill of the Ice Abyss Sword.

A stream of icy blue light, condensed to its extreme and seemingly containing the coldest rules of the universe, was precisely injected into the soul bone that was enveloped by the origin of the plane.

A strange buzzing sound followed.

Nourished by the source of water and tempered by the divine power of the Ice Abyss, the five soul bones began to undergo a visible transformation.

Their colors gradually shifted from a deep azure to a purer, colder ice blue and a pristine white, and the energy fluctuations they emitted completely lost the suppleness of water, becoming incomparably sharp, cold, and annihilating.

This process may seem slow, but it actually only takes a moment.

As the light gradually faded, what floated before Lu Jun were three completely renewed soul bones.

The 500,000-year-old deep-sea octopus head bone transformed into a crown resembling an ice crystal, covered with mysterious frost patterns; the 200,000-year-old demonic soul great white shark king torso bone became a phantom of an ice-white inner armor, like a fusion of ten-thousand-year-old ice and the toughest shark skin, radiating powerful protective energy; and the original three 100,000-year-old demonic soul great white shark bones, under the combined effect of the power of the plane and the divine power, actually fused together perfectly, condensing into a single right leg bone with an energy intensity infinitely close to the 200,000-year level.

This leg bone is crystal clear, as if it were formed from the ice marrow of the far north, containing powerful explosive force and speed.

After Harosa finished doing all this, her already pale face became even more translucent, a large amount of cold sweat seeped from her forehead, and her breathing became noticeably more exhausted.
"The renovation is complete. Your Excellency, please inspect it."

Lu Jun carefully sensed the three brand-new soul bones. They were not only filled with extremely pure ice attribute energy, but also contained a trace of Ice Abyss Sword God power that was of the same origin as him.

This is a top-tier soul bone that was tailor-made for him and fits him perfectly.

"Thank you very much," Lu Jun said sincerely.

Harosa shook his head, managing a weak smile:
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank this selfless plane itself."

"Although it is invisible and lacks complete self-awareness, as a collection of planes, it seems to possess the most primal instinctive consciousness, like a newborn infant. Its most fundamental desire is to survive and elevate the energy level of the entire plane."

Lu Jun's heart stirred:
"You mean... the dimension chose me?"
