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

These words immediately set the atmosphere on fire.

Qiluo Tulip flew into a rage, his purple aura surging instantly, a terrifying pressure mixed with a strange fragrance spreading out, and he roared:

"Arrogant humans, don't push your luck! Don't forget, this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire has been protected by the Tang Clan for ten thousand years. By acting recklessly here, you are making enemies of the entire Tang Clan. Do you know what the consequences will be for opposing the Tang Clan, which has dominated the continent for ten thousand years?!"

He tried to intimidate the other party by citing the prestigious Tang Clan name.

However, Lu Jun's answer instantly froze his anger, turning it into a bone-chilling cold.

"Tang Clan?" Lu Jun tilted his head, a half-smile on his face.

Is it possible that the reason we were able to arrive before you unscathed and without hindrance is because the Tang Clan, which has protected you for ten thousand years, has been almost completely wiped out by me?

"Wha...what?!"

Qiluo Tulip was struck dumb, completely frozen in place, her mind blank.

The five ferocious beasts behind him also gasped in unison, their faces filled with absurdity and disbelief.

"No...impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Qiluo Tulip murmured in a trembling voice.

"The Tang Sect... with the protection of its ancestor Tang San, the Sea God, has a profound foundation and countless powerful figures. It has stood firm in the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years. How could it... how could it just disappear like that?"

"Ah, indeed. With Tang San backing them up, the Tang Clan is like a rock in a latrine—stinky, hard, and incredibly difficult to kill."

Lu Jun nodded solemnly, then changed the subject, his tone carrying a chilling casualness:

"But sorry, I don't have any other strengths. I specialize in attacking sects and forces protected by gods. This is probably what they call specialization?"

He spoke casually, as if discussing the nice weather, but the information hidden in his words sent chills down the spines of ferocious beasts like Qiluo and Tulip.

They specifically target forces protected by deities.

How outrageous and terrifying this is!
Qiluo Tulip stared intently at Lu Jun, trying to find a trace of lying on his face, but all she saw was unfathomable calm and confidence.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and looked intently at Lu Jun. His tone softened slightly, but remained wary.

"Since...since the Tang Clan has been destroyed by you, then all the better. We were never affiliated with the Tang Clan; we were merely taking refuge here, accepting their protection and paying the corresponding price."

"The survival of the Tang Clan is not directly related to us."

He tried to distance himself from the situation, then changed the subject, asking with a hint of probing:
"So, what exactly is the purpose of your visit?"

"If needed, perhaps... we can talk? It doesn't necessarily have to come to blows."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun looked thoughtful, stroked his chin, and slowly said:

"Yes, your Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and all these immortal herbs... To be honest, given my current status and the level of energy I need, even if I swallowed all these immortal herbs whole, I probably wouldn't have enough energy to complete a god-level transformation."

His tone carried a hint of regret, as if he were assessing the actual value of an item.

"After all, the main effects of immortal herbs are not to directly improve combat power or cultivation level, but to tap potential, strengthen the foundation and cultivate vitality, and even endow special abilities."

"As for potential and foundation..." Lu Jun shrugged, "Forget it, eating you all would probably have little effect on my improvement, it would be a complete waste."

He seemed to remember something and added:
"Like a few years ago, I ate an eight-cornered ice grass that was about 100,000 years old. And what happened?" "Besides boosting my soul power from Soul Venerable to Soul Master, it was completely useless. It was a total loss."

At this point, Lu Jun seemed to have a headache and rubbed his temples:
"That was back in the Soul Venerable stage. Soul Venerables only leveled up a few times by eating immortal herbs for 100,000 years. Think about it, I'm already a Soul Saint now. Even if I ate all the immortal herbs in this valley, roots and leaves included, I reckon it would only be enough to level me up from level 71 to level 72 at most."

"The input and output are completely disproportionate. It's such a waste, such a huge waste..."

His disdainful remarks, however, sounded like heavenly music to the ears of ferocious beasts like Qiluo and Tulip.

It's useless to him?

Eating immortal herbs only increases soul power by one level?
waste?

The six ferocious beasts breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves instantly relaxing.

As long as they're not after their lives or property, everything is negotiable!

It seems this ominous star is merely passing by, or perhaps he has ulterior motives?
However, Lu Jun's next words made their hearts, which had just settled back into their stomachs, jump to their throats again!
“But then—” Lu Jun drawled, a chilling smile reappearing on his face that sent shivers down the spines of the ferocious beasts.

"You've resided in this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. During that time, you must have provided the Tang Sect with no shortage of benefits, right? Helping them cultivate so many powerful individuals... We can't just let this debt go, can we?"

He smiled as he surveyed the six ferocious beasts, his gaze as if he were appraising a flock of fat sheep awaiting slaughter.

"I need to think carefully about how to extract the maximum value from you. We can't just come here for nothing, right?"

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured on the heads of the six ferocious beasts in the dead of winter.

A strong sense of crisis instantly overwhelmed me.

Qiluo Tulip's expression changed drastically, and she could no longer remain calm, shouting angrily:

"Human, don't push your luck! This place is the eye of ice and fire, our home, not human territory where you can do whatever you want!"

"Do you really think that we, beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years, would simply surrender and be slaughtered in the face of greedy humans? Don't we have any preparations at all?!"

Before he finished speaking, a thick, almost tangible purple radiance suddenly burst forth from his body.

In an instant, a strange, refreshing, and rich fragrance filled the entire venue, instantly enveloping Lu Jun and his group.

Upon smelling the fragrance, Yuan Enzhentian and Yuan Entian felt a lightness throughout their bodies, and their soul power flowed more smoothly, bringing them indescribable comfort and enjoyment.

But this seemingly beautiful fragrance contains the unique numbing and seductive power of the tulip.

And this is just the beginning.

Almost simultaneously, a strange change occurred in the red and blue lake at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye behind the ferocious beasts.

"Boom——"

Like a sleeping dragon awakened, the icy spring and the fiery spring suddenly boiled and roared.

Two incredibly thick water columns, one crimson like lava and the other a deep blue like ice, shot into the sky like two enraged ancient dragons.

The water columns swirled and intertwined in the air, emanating a terrifying aura capable of destroying the world. (End of Chapter)
