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

The layer of poisonous fog wasn't too thick. After passing through for about several tens of meters, the view suddenly opened up, and a strange valley, not very large but like a fairyland, was finally revealed to everyone without reservation.

The first thing that catches the eye is that iconic spectacle.

A two-colored lake, clearly distinct and untouched by each other.

One side of the lake is a fiery red, like magma, churning with tiny bubbles and radiating a scorching heat; the other side is a deep blue, like ancient ice, calm and still, yet exuding an extreme chill that freezes the soul.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire truly lives up to its name.

Such scenery, just standing on high ground and looking out at it from afar, makes one feel much more refreshed.

Along the shores of this lake, which is filled with the extreme energies of ice and fire, and on the slopes surrounding the valley, grow a dense array of exotic flowers and plants of various shapes and vibrant colors.

Some plants are as tall as trees, with flowers as big as cartwheels; others are short and delicate, yet bear jewel-like fruits; the air is filled with all sorts of strange fragrances, mixed with the unique aura of ice and fire elements, and just one breath makes one feel that one's soul power is subtly activated.

With the eyesight of the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor, who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, they could see that eight or nine out of ten of the plants in the valley were rare species they had never seen before, each exuding rich life energy and unique law fluctuations.

Without a doubt, this place gathers the most exquisite treasures of the Douluo Continent, including immortal herbs and lingzhi!

And just the moment after the five of them were suspended in the air.

One after another, incredibly powerful divine thoughts, carrying obvious hostility and warning, swept in from all directions below the valley like invisible tentacles, landing on them without any politeness, attempting to probe and even exert pressure.

These divine thoughts were numerous, their auras complex yet powerful, clearly not originating from humans.

"Ok?"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Jun's eyes. He didn't make any move, but simply raised his hand and pressed forward lightly.

"Puff puff puff puff——"

Those powerful divine thoughts that probed towards them shattered and dissipated instantly, as if they had crashed into an invisible and indestructible ice wall.

The pressure on everyone suddenly eased.

Lu Jun didn't linger. He manipulated the ice-blue light shield and led the four of them down to the relatively flat open space in the center of the valley.

As they fell, the lush vegetation below seemed to come alive, spontaneously parting to reveal a barren patch of ground just large enough for the five of them to stand on.

Upon actually stepping into the valley and observing it up close, everyone was deeply shocked by the scene before them.

This is a truly vibrant and colorful world, where all the plants seem to be blessed by heaven and earth, their spirituality and form amplified. Each one is a work of art, containing immeasurable value.

However, they had only just settled in and had not yet had a chance to fully appreciate the place.

A more intense and denser aura, carrying undisguised hostility, pressed in from all directions.

The exotic flowers and plants around seemed to come alive at this moment, their branches and leaves swaying and emitting rays of light, and an invisible force field began to gather in the valley.

Even more strangely, six exceptionally powerful auras suddenly rose up, and as they flashed with light, they slowly condensed and revealed clear humanoid outlines, appearing not far in front of them.

The leader, dressed in an ancient-style purple robe, possessed striking good looks and a tall, slender figure, though his eyes held a scrutinizing and cold gaze. Slightly behind him stood a stunningly beautiful woman in fiery red, her face breathtakingly beautiful, yet her expression was icy, her eyes fixed on the intruder with hostility.

Besides them, four other figures gathered with them, some tall, some short, some fat, some thin, all with different shapes and sizes, but without exception, they all exuded a tremendous demonic power and hostility that made people's hearts tremble, and slowly approached Lu Jun and his group of five.

Six types of plant-based soul beasts... capable of transforming into complete human forms?

What this meant was all too clear to the others present.

Especially Hyotei and Yukitei.

A plant-type soul beast that can detach from its original body and manifest such a solid humanoid form must have cultivated for at least 100,000 years, making it a true ferocious beast!
This Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is indeed not an unclaimed place.

The purple-clad man at the head of the group was none other than Qiluo Tulip. Seeing that these uninvited guests not only showed no intention of backing down, but also that the white-clad youth calmly came to greet them, he became even more wary.

His brow furrowed, his voice carrying an undeniable coldness and authority, as he warned again:

"This is a forbidden area; entry is strictly prohibited. All unauthorized persons, please leave immediately, or else do not blame us for being ruthless and will bear the consequences!"

However, faced with this threatening expulsion, Lu Jun showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he raised the corners of his lips into a meaningful smile, took a few more steps forward with composure, and glanced with interest at the Qiluo Tulip and the figures behind him.

"An outsider?" Lu Jun chuckled and shook his head. "I can hardly be considered an outsider. At least, I know you all quite well. You are the King of Immortal Herbs, the Supreme among Immortal Herbs, the Qiluo Tulip, right?"

His gaze then shifted to the beautiful woman in red, whose face was veiled in frost, standing beside Qiluo Tulip:
"This one must be the fiery apricot blossom, born from the ultimate fire element."

Then, as if reciting a familiar list, he pointed precisely to four other figures:

"This should be the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass."

"This flowing ink-like beauty is the Divine Bamboo of Ink Jade."

"This person must have been waiting with bated breath."

"And this one, his aura is profound and deep, seemingly connected to the earth; he must be the Earth Dragon Golden Melon..."

Lu Jun spoke slowly and deliberately, yet as if reciting a menu, he revealed the true nature and origins of the six immortal herbs and ferocious beasts one by one, without missing a single detail.

This time, not only Qiluo Tulip, but also the five ferocious beasts behind him, including Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Bajiao Xuanbingcao, all changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief, shock and horror.

They have lived in seclusion here for tens of thousands of years, rarely having contact with the outside world. Their true nature is the greatest secret. How could this strange human youth know so clearly?
"shut up!"

Qiluo Tulip hurriedly interrupted sharply, her eyes filled with extreme vigilance, a purple aura swirling around her, and her voice as cold as a knife.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about us? Tell me now! If you dare to utter even the slightest lie or harbor any ill intentions, you will pay a terrible price!"

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, stared intently at Lu Jun, and asked the question that all the immortal herbs and ferocious beasts cared about most:
"Tell me your true purpose for coming here!"

Facing the fiery gazes of the six ferocious beasts, Lu Jun remained calm and composed, smiling as he said:

"Purpose? Isn't it obvious? I've come here, naturally, for you immortal herbs, who embody the essence of heaven and earth and gather the spirit of the sun and moon." (End of Chapter)
