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

Meanwhile, Lu Jun, who was operating the great formation with all his might in front of the golden ancient tree, peeling away Ah Yin's soul imprint along with the six immortal herbs and ferocious beasts, was also shocked by the earth-shattering collision behind him.

The immense energy aftershocks surged in like a tsunami, but were barely blocked by the large array they had set up together. The array swayed violently, but never broke.

Lu Jun frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
"Yunming, your last firework was really spectacular... but you have to hold on a little longer, don't let it go out so soon!"

"I haven't sorted things out here yet. I haven't regained control of the Golden Ancient Tree, and I haven't absorbed its energy yet!"

As if in response to his expectations, the moment the thought arose...

The Great Array of Resonance of All Spirits, formed by Lu Jun and the six immortal herbs and ferocious beasts, suddenly shone brightly to its maximum.

At the core of the formation, the withered golden tree trembled violently, and a shrill scream filled with pain, resentment, and despair came from within—it was a woman's voice.

"It's done!"

Lu Jun's eyes gleamed with delight.

The next moment, a phantom blue figure, composed of pure life energy and soul power, was as if violently repelled by an invisible force, staggering as it separated from the trunk of the ancient golden tree and silently landed on the ground behind the tree.

It was a woman, exceptionally beautiful, a true beauty unparalleled in the world. Her long, aquamarine hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and she wore a turquoise long dress, radiating a rich and pure aura of life. But at this moment, her face was pale, her eyes filled with fear and panic, and her figure seemed almost transparent.

It was Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin!

She was forcibly expelled from the Golden Ancient Tree, the core carrier of the dimensional life that Lu Jun and the six immortal herbs had been residing in and controlling for many years!

After Ah Yin appeared, she didn't even have time to glance at her husband Tang Hao, who was sealed in a silver cocoon in the distance, nor did she hesitate to focus on the earth-shattering collision on the main battlefield.

She glanced quickly at the figure in white robes, wielding an ice-blue longsword, before the golden ancient tree with eyes filled with fear. Then, a flash of blue light surrounded her, and she transformed into a thin blue stream of light. At the fastest speed she had ever traveled, she fled towards the distant horizon without looking back, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye!
What are the guardianship missions entrusted to her by her husband and son? They all seem insignificant in the face of a fatal threat to the survival of her own soul.

Seeing Ah Yin so decisively abandon her husband and flee, turning into a streak of blue light and disappearing into the horizon in an instant, Lu Jun was first stunned, then couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, his gaze turning with a hint of mockery to the still stable silver cocoon in the distance.

"Tsk tsk, it's true what they say, 'Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.'"

He muttered a complaint softly, his tone carrying a hint of unspoken sarcasm.

"Tang Hao, Tang Hao, is this the thing you risked your life to protect? The deep affection between you two is truly... an eye-opener."

Although we were able to forcibly keep Ah Yin here, there are more important things to do than getting rid of her.

So, we can let Ah Yin go for now, as for Tang Hao...

Once he finishes this task, we can get rid of him.

First, get rid of Tang San's father, then kill Tang San's mother.

Who knows, he might even kill Tang San's mother right in front of him?
Despite the teasing, Lu Jun's hands didn't stop moving at all.

He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming sharp and focused, his hands gripping the icy blue, translucent hilt of the Ice Abyss Sword, adjusting his aura to perfectly resonate with the sword spirit.

The next moment, he thrust the Ice Abyss Sword forward.

"puff--"

It wasn't the dull sound of metal cutting into wood, but a strange hum, as if it were cutting into some kind of energy core. The Ice Abyss Sword, seemingly in its physical form, pierced into the cracked, withered trunk of the ancient golden tree without any resistance. The moment the sword made contact with the ancient tree, it didn't cause any damage; instead, it was like a key being inserted into a lock, activating some long-dormant core.

In an instant, strange phenomena occurred.

Centered on the point where the Ice Abyss Sword pierced, a soft yet powerful seven-colored halo rippled outwards.

The once lifeless and gray trunk of the golden ancient tree seemed to have countless dormant points of light being lit up one by one, flowing slowly along the ancient wood grain and finally converging towards the Ice Abyss Sword.

Moreover, at this moment, the entire Douluo plane seemed to emit a relieved and joyful buzz.

The sky became clearer, the earth trembled slightly with a life-giving rhythm, and the vital energy in the air became more active and gentle than ever before.

This is the will of the plane cheering and responding.

The contract that Lu Jun had already reached with the plane's representative, Harosa, was now being officially fulfilled.

Lu Jun was responsible for expelling Ah Yin's soul, which was parasitic in the core of the plane's life, and regaining control. In return, the Douluo plane gave Lu Jun half of its accumulated primordial energy, which had been stolen and suppressed by Ah Yin for a long time, as a reward, to power the Ice Abyss Sword.

At this moment, the will of the plane actively cooperated, guiding the vast and extremely pure primordial power of the plane, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, to surge wildly into the Ice Abyss Sword.

The Ice Abyss Sword emitted a clear and cheerful sword cry, and the ice-blue light on its blade shone with unprecedented brightness, even revealing countless intricate and complex natural patterns that contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

It's like a traveler who has been thirsty for millions of years finally encountering a sweet spring, and begins to greedily, almost plunderingly, absorb this pure and enormous energy.

Lu Jun closed his eyes and concentrated, clearly feeling the terrifying surge of energy within the Ice Abyss Sword in his hand.

The energy barrier at the priest level was easily pierced, as thin as paper.

The power threshold of a third-level god was filled and surpassed in just a few breaths.

In the end, the torrent of energy surged forward with unstoppable force, breaking through the threshold that symbolized a qualitative change—the second-level god!

"boom!"

A terrifying aura, far more powerful, profound, and chilling than ever before, erupted from the Ice Abyss Sword.

Fine ice crystals spontaneously condensed around the sword, as if even the rules of the universe were being frozen. At this moment, although the Ice Abyss Sword itself remained unchanged, the energy level within it had firmly reached the realm of a second-level divine weapon.

"It's done!"

Lu Jun opened his eyes, a flash of icy blue light appearing in them, and an uncontrollable look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

He could feel that the sword in his hand seemed to have come to life, possessing the power to cleave stars and freeze the world.

This was the first time since he had mastered the Ice Abyss Sword that he had felt so full and so powerful!

Although he knew that this was only a one-time power bestowed by the Douluo plane, not a permanent increase in his own strength, it was more like a super trump card full of energy.

But that's enough!
With this one-time power at the level of a second-tier god, he is now virtually invincible in the Douluo Continent! (End of Chapter)
