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

"Crack!"

A slight cracking sound rang out as Tang Hao's fingers were violently forced open, his tiger's mouth split open, and his entire palm was instantly covered with a layer of white frost, losing all sensation.

Lu Jun's figure had already drifted backward, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared dozens of meters away, creating a safe distance between them.

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you." Lu Jun stood at a safe distance, looking at him coldly, her voice clear, "I won't go with you."

The next moment, the replicated seven-colored Haotian Hammer, suspended in the air, carrying the power of Tang Hao's own strike at his peak, crashed down without any hindrance.

The target was Tang Hao himself, whom they could neither dodge nor resist.

"Do not--!!!"

Amidst Tang Hao's roar filled with extreme resentment, anger, and despair, the replica of the Clear Sky Hammer slammed solidly into his body.

"boom!!!"

The earth trembled violently, and the raging seven-colored energy instantly engulfed, swallowed, and crushed the area where Tang Hao was located.

Smoke and dust mixed with turbulent energy surged into the sky, forming a brief, small mushroom cloud.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, only a huge crater remained, and at the bottom of the crater, a pool of almost unrecognizable flesh and bone fragments mixed with soil and gravel.

Tang Hao's physical body had been completely smashed into a pancake by this hammer blow, and he was dead beyond any doubt.

Lu Jun watched this scene expressionlessly, as if he had just completed a trivial task.

But he did not relax.

With a flick of his wrist, the Ice Abyss Sword emitted a soft hum once more, transforming into a streak of icy blue light that shot into the deep pit.

Just as the Ice Abyss Sword reached the top of the pit, an extremely faint, almost transparent ball of seven-colored light suddenly fled from the pile of flesh, attempting to escape towards the distant horizon—it was Tang Hao's soul.

At the last moment, he actually used some kind of secret technique to try to abandon his physical body and preserve his soul, hoping to have the opportunity to possess another body or be reborn in the future.

"Hmph, shedding one's skin like a cicada? A child's play."

Lu Jun snorted coldly, having already anticipated this move from his opponent.

A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the blade of the Ice Abyss Sword.

A miniature, rotating, ice-blue vortex appeared in front of the sword tip, emanating a terrifying pulling force aimed at the very essence of the soul.

Tang Hao's soul orb emitted a silent, fearful, and unwilling shriek as it struggled, but it was utterly powerless against the suction force of the Ice Abyss Sword. Like a fallen leaf caught in a vortex, it was instantly pulled and sucked into the blade of the Ice Abyss Sword.

The Ice Abyss Sword emitted a pleasant, clear sword cry, its blade shimmering with light, as if it had just had a hearty meal.

A complete soul of extremely high quality at the level of a second-level god would undoubtedly be an excellent tonic and energy reserve for it.

Thus, Tang Hao, the second-level god Haotian Douluo, perished completely, his physical body destroyed and his soul used as a tonic.

Their bodies and souls were completely destroyed, leaving not even a trace behind.

Lu Jun raised his hand, and the Ice Abyss Sword obediently flew back into his hand, its brilliance subsiding and returning to calm.

He was dressed in snow-white robes, his garments fluttering gently in the breeze stirred by the residual energy. He turned, his steps calm and resolute, and disappeared into the ruins that bore witness to so much destruction and end. The operation to eliminate the remaining forces and potential threats of Shrek Academy had thus come to a perfect end.

The smoke and blood of Shrek City still seemed to linger in the air, but that land that bore witness to ten thousand years of glory and tragedy had been completely sunk into the sea and mercilessly erased from the map of Douluo Continent.

Lu Jun, along with Gu Yuena, Bingdi, and Xuedi, left this place of ending as if they were taking a normal walk, and successfully met up with Di Tian and Halosa, who were already waiting at the designated location.

Upon meeting, a trace of fear still lingered on Di Tian's dignified face. His hands clenched unconsciously, and his voice carried a hint of lingering fear:
"Yun Ming's last stand before his death was terrifying... He was clearly determined to take everyone down with him."

"If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Xu was tough enough to take the brunt of the damage for us, we would have been badly injured."

Recalling that devastating spear thrust that shattered the heavens, even this Beast God felt a chill run down his spine.

Gu Yuena's purple eyes flickered as she softly comforted her:
"Di Tian, ​​there is no need to be afraid. The result of this operation was perfect. We not only eliminated Shrek, our biggest threat, with the help of the Federation, but also witnessed the fall of Yun Ming."

"The price we paid was negligible, wasn't it?"

The figure shrouded in a gray aura of death, Harosana, nodded slightly and replied:

"Indeed. The Federation's all-out attack this time has indeed solved our biggest problem."

"If we were to try to eradicate the deeply entrenched Shrek Academy on our own, the price we would have to pay would be unimaginable."

His voice was still hoarse, but it carried a hint of relief.

Lu Jun nodded, expressing his strong agreement:
"Indeed. For some dirty and tiring jobs, using someone else's strength is the best strategy."

As he spoke, he took out the gray bead containing the six immortal herbs from his bosom, as well as another item, a seed about the size of a fist, with a warm and pure gold color throughout, and its surface flowing with vibrant life and countless fine natural Dao patterns.

Inside the seed, there seems to be a miniature world of life, full of infinite possibilities.

"This is……"

Both Di Tian and Gu Yuena were drawn to this strange seed.

"The seeds of the ancient golden tree."

Lu Jun explained calmly, handing the gray bead back to Harosa.

"The ancient golden tree has withered completely, but its most primordial life imprint and the favor of the plane have condensed into this seed."

"The Douluo plane would rather destroy its own foundation than let Ah Yin continue to seize control of its life core. This decision is a gamble on the future of the entire plane."

His words carried a hint of admiration for the resolute determination of the plane's will.

Then, he handed the golden seed to Harosa.

"This item should rightfully be handled by you, the representative of this plane."

However, Harosa did not reach out to take it.

His eyes were fixed on Lu Jun, his voice low and solemn:
"Lord Lu, the Douluo plane has asked me to convey its will: as a reward for your expulsion of the usurpers, your regaining of control over the life core, and your willingness to consider the future of the continent, the place where this seed, representing the life core of the future plane, is planted... is up to you to choose."

This decision subtly moved Gu Yuena and Di Tian, ​​who were standing nearby. Entrusting the placement of the plane's life core to an outsider was undoubtedly a tremendous show of trust and a great gift from the Douluo Continent to Lu Jun. (End of Chapter)
