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

Chapter 640 Leng Yulai: "Remember to take good care of our Lu Jun"

"Holy crap, what kind of weird power is this? It can even affect me?"

Lu Jun was both shocked and furious, and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

With a thought, the Ice Abyss Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

Without hesitation, he mobilized the primal power of the Ice Abyss Sword. The chilling aura, enough to freeze the soul, flowed continuously through his meridians, beginning to scan and explore every corner of his body inch by inch with extreme care, trying to find the lurking "thief".

However, to his dismay, the Ice Abyss Sword's original power, which had always been invincible and capable of discerning the smallest details, was now like a stone sinking into the sea. All that came back was the trajectory of his own soul power flow and the resonance of his flesh and bones, and he could not detect any of the abnormal energy fluctuations described by Gu Yuena.

That power seemed to exist at all, or rather, its existence was beyond the perception range of the Ice Abyss Sword's origin.

"Is it because I haven't mobilized enough of my primal power?"

Lu Jun frowned, caught in a dilemma.

The source power of the Ice Abyss Sword is extremely precious; every bit used diminishes it, and its recovery is extremely slow. Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to over-consume it.

Gu Yuena slowly shook her head, her expression more serious than ever before:
“It’s not a matter of quantity. The level of this power is… extremely high. My God-King realm spiritual power is completely unable to detect its existence under normal circumstances. Only when I use the power of the Dragon God can I barely catch a faint trace of it.”

She took a deep breath and uttered the speculation that even she found hard to believe.

"I suspect that the level of this power itself is probably... on par with the Dragon God, or even higher!"

"hiss--!"

This conclusion was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

Lu Jun and Leng Yulai, who were standing next to him, both gasped in shock and were completely dumbfounded.

Stronger than the Dragon God?
The Dragon God, who created the glory of the Dragon Clan era and is considered the pinnacle of power in the Douluo Continent system, represents the ultimate in strength in their understanding.

Who can surpass him?
Leng Yulai murmured:

"This... how is this possible? The Dragon God is already at the peak of the God King realm, could he be... a being of an even higher level from legend?"

She felt that her worldview had been violently impacted.

"...I don't know, I can't think of any other being that is at a higher level than the Dragon God," Gu Yuena murmured.

"Could he be the mastermind behind the Dragon God's attempt to sabotage the Dragon Clan's assault on the God Star?"

"Who was behind the Dragon God's failed attempt to lead the dragon race to the God Star?"

"Who is that?"

"Who it is doesn't matter, I just mentioned it casually." Gu Yuena curled her lips, "However, the Dragon Clan's history records that it does say this: the Dragon God was originally able to successfully challenge the God Star, but due to an unknown force, several Dragon Kings of the God-King level betrayed him, causing the death of the Dragon God's son. This force also affected the Dragon God's emotions, causing him to completely lose control..."

Listening to Gu Yuena recount the history of the dragon race, Lu Jun scratched his head, feeling his thoughts were in complete disarray, as if he were in a thick fog, unable to find any clues at all.

I just woke up, my mind is completely blank, and I have absolutely no ability to think.

Especially since he lacked crucial information, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't deduce the source and purpose of this force, and in the end, he could only helplessly give up on further investigation for the time being.

When did this start? Were there any warning signs before?

Gu Yuena pressed for more clues. Lu Jun pondered for a moment, then answered uncertainly:
"I can't quite put my finger on it... but it seems that as my cultivation level gets closer and closer to the Title Douluo realm, I've started to have a faint feeling... a feeling as if I'm being watched in the dark by something."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, and the bizarre dream resurfaced in his mind.

At the edge of that endless universe, a pair of cold, indifferent eyes, seemingly containing the highest laws, were silently watching him…

Is it an abyss?

Lu Jun subconsciously guessed, but then immediately denied it to himself.

The aura of the Abyss was murky, chaotic, and filled with a devouring dark red, completely different from what he had sensed and the cold indifference of the eyes in his dream.

If that dream is true... if the Ice Abyss Sword really did drift through the universe, unintentionally freezing and weakening countless planes, and the Abyss followed behind, devouring those weakened worlds to grow stronger...

Doesn't that mean that the Abyss Plane, which Douluo Continent is now facing and may be even more powerful than in the original storyline, was infinitely strengthened because of my accidental "assistance"?
Thinking of this, Lu Jun couldn't help but swallow hard, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

If that's true, then he's practically the "culprit" who let the wolf into the house!
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.

If the Abyss had truly been strengthened to that extent, it should have launched a massive invasion long ago and devoured the entire Douluo Continent. How could it remain as it is now, without any movement or even any sign of a full-scale attack?
"Sigh, perhaps... it really was just an overly realistic nightmare."

Lu Jun shook his head, temporarily suppressing his confusion and unease.

The most urgent task is to deal with the upcoming trip to Dragon Valley.

He picked up the sealed document bag sent by the Federation, exhaled a chilling breath from his fingertips, and precisely cut open the seal to retrieve the intelligence data inside.

Gu Yuena also came closer and browsed with him.

Seeing this, Leng Yulai also squeezed to Lu Jun's other side without any hesitation, almost touching his arm, and looked at the documents in his hand together.

"Oh, it seems the Federation is really going all out this time, using that once-in-a-decade opportunity to send all you geniuses above the seventh ring in to find your own chance," Leng Yulai said, raising an eyebrow as she glanced at the summary.

Lu Jun raised a question:

“I remember Gu Yuena said that in the past, we could only send one person in each time. This time, it seems that there are more than just me and Gu Yuena on the list.”

“That’s ancient history,” Leng Yulai explained. “In recent years, the Federation’s soul-guided technology, especially in terms of spatial stability and energy transmission, has made groundbreaking progress.”

"Now, by combining the power of all the top Soul Masters and Soul Masters and expending enormous resources, we have been able to temporarily stabilize the spatial channel to the point where several people can be sent in at the same time."

"But the cost is that the duration is greatly reduced, and it can not exceed one day at most. According to the assessment of this intelligence, your safe operation time in Dragon Valley this time will probably only be half a day."

"Half a day is enough," Gu Yuena's cool voice rang out, carrying an undeniable confidence.

She had a much deeper understanding of Dragon Valley than the Federation did, and a certain unseen connection with it.

"Alright, it's about time. You should get ready to leave."

Leng Yulai patted Lu Jun's shoulder and then reached out to ruffle his slightly messy hair, the gesture intimate and natural.

She turned to look at Gu Yuena, her tone teasing yet also serious:
"Remember to take good care of our Lu Jun. Although I don't know what strange thing happened to this kid that made him so weak..."
