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

However, at this moment, Gu Yuena's temperament had undergone a complete transformation.

She was once aloof and noble, but now she carries the weight of authority and the destiny of her clan. In the blink of an eye, her purple eyes seem to hold the birth and death of the universe and the movement of stars.

She couldn't help but look ahead.

There, several items emanating a powerful aura that could eclipse the heavens and earth were quietly suspended, awaiting their new master's collection.

At the very center is a magnificent energy body that is constantly changing and flowing with nine-colored light—the Dragon God's position!
It represents the supreme authority of the only god-king in the entire universe, and contains all the laws and fortune of the dragon race!
On the left is an exquisite artifact, a bracelet with a nine-colored crystal as a pendant, exuding a gentle yet firm dragon aura.

Gu Yuena sensed that this was the Dragon God's Tear, symbolizing the most sincere friendship and alliance of the dragon race. Only allies recognized by the Dragon God were qualified to possess it.

On the right is a nine-colored staff, the Dragon Ascension Pillar, which is covered in runes and exudes an aura of stability and dominion over all dragons!

This is a divine artifact personally crafted by the Dragon God. It was not transformed from the Dragon God's body, but it contains the Dragon God's most primal power.

It can stabilize the dragon's soul and is a symbol of the dragon's advancement and power!

Behind the rising dragon pillar, there floats a dragon-slaying sword with an ancient design, yet it exudes endless sharpness and an aura that severs cause and effect!

Another powerful artifact.

The core heritage and treasures of the Dragon God are all here, neatly arranged, as if they had already anticipated her arrival and were waiting for her to retrieve them.

Seeing all this, Gu Yuena was filled with mixed emotions.

All of this arrangement, this plan spanning millions of years... was actually a scheme devised by Lu Jun for the Dragon Clan, and also for himself.

He orchestrated the fall of the dragon race, yet in the face of despair, he preserved the most precious flame for them.

But... why did he insist on personally killing those dragon kings back then?

Even though she couldn't inform them in advance in order to circumvent the laws of the universe, that resolute and ruthless attitude still stung her heart.

at this time--

"Lord..."

A series of excited, respectful, yet somewhat ethereal calls came from behind her.

Gu Yuena's delicate body trembled, and she quickly turned around.

Nine solid and powerful dragon souls, each radiating different attributes and god-king-level fluctuations, had silently floated behind her.

They come in various forms: light, darkness, mountains, water, fire, earth, wind, space, and even... the Time Dragon King, who should have perished, was one of the nine Dragon Kings that Lu Jun had killed back then.

"My lord, I believe you have already read the memories left to you by the previous lord."

The leader, the Light Dragon King's Dragon Soul, spoke, his voice filled with emotion.

"At the time, we didn't understand why Lord Lu would so ruthlessly kill us..."

The Dark Dragon King's Dragon Soul replied, his tone complex.

Immediately afterward, the dragon soul of the Mountain Dragon King, which had been cleaved in two by Lu Jun's sword, stepped forward. His soul was intact and exuded a powerful aura.
"It was Lord Lu who saved us."

"It was he who, with his supreme divine power and the primal chill of the Ice Abyss Sword, forcibly preserved our complete dragon souls at the moment our physical bodies were destroyed, and secretly sent us into the dragon tomb he helped build to nurture us."

"We... have been waiting here all along, waiting for the day when our bodies can be reconstructed and see the light of day again..."

The Water Dragon King's dragon soul also floated out. Her gaze toward Gu Yuena was full of gentleness and approval. At the same time, she handed a bead that emitted a hazy glow and seemed to have images flowing inside to Gu Yuena.

"And you are the only Dragon God successor chosen by our Dragon Clan, Lord Lu Jun."

Gu Yuena was completely stunned. Looking at the nine complete and powerful dragon king souls in front of her, she subconsciously took the cool-to-the-touch bead.

So that's the truth!
Lu Jun did not commit massacre; rather, he carried out a treacherous act of substitution right under the nose of the laws of the universe!

He personally destroyed the dragon race's past, yet secretly preserved its core power, waiting for its future revival.
The dragon soul of the Fire Dragon King also spoke:

“My lord, I can sense that you still possess the dragon soul essence that I and the Water Dragon King separated from. That was deliberately arranged by Lord Lu Jun, allowing a portion of our dragon soul power to flow to Douluo Continent, forming the wonder of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well…” “All of this was to pave the way for the growth of Douluo Continent.”

Gu Yuena frowned.

He did so much, yet he couldn't control any of it. The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had even served the Tang Sect for so many tens of thousands of years...

Is it because they can't make it too obvious, for fear of being discovered by the laws of the universe?
The Water Dragon King gently advised:

“My lord, now you should take a look at this bead.”

"This was specially left for you by His Excellency Lu Jun."

He said... all the questions in your heart are answered in it.

Gu Yuena lowered her head, her gaze complex as she stared at the seemingly ordinary bead in her hand, which might hold the final answer.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the myriad thoughts surging in her mind, and her gaze firmly fell on the seemingly ordinary bead in her hand.

She turned to the nine dragon kings and dragon souls beside her, who were watching her intently, and nodded slightly.

"wait for me."

Without saying anything more, she believed the Dragon Kings would understand.

Without hesitation, she gathered her immense spiritual power, which flowed like a trickle into a river, and carefully probed into the bead.

The instant her spiritual power touched the core of the bead, an indescribable, sharp sword intent, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect and freezing time and space, erupted from within the bead like a dormant ancient beast suddenly awakening, instantly sweeping across the entire inheritance land.

The sword intent was chilling, carrying an absolute will that looked down upon all living beings and transcended the rules, causing the surrounding air to freeze and the space to emit a faint, seemingly unbearable groan.

"retreat!"

The nine dragon kings' expressions changed drastically at the same time. They felt a tremor and fear originating from their very souls from that sword intent.

That was a terrifying power that could easily annihilate them in their current dragon soul state.

Without the slightest hesitation, the nine dragon souls transformed into streaks of light and retreated at top speed, until they were thousands of meters away, before finally stopping and watching from afar.

The sword intent emanating from that bead was so strong that they didn't even have the courage to approach it.

Gu Yuena, who was at the center of the sword intent burst, was not injured by it.

The incomparably sharp sword intent, as if it possessed a life of its own, bypassed her body, but stirred up a monstrous wave deep within her mind.

The moment her spiritual power completely connected with the core of the bead, it was as if a flood had swept through the ocean, with countless dazzling and sharp sword beams accompanying a clear portrait, forcibly entering her sea of ​​consciousness and leaving a deep imprint on it.

What a figure it was!

A flowing, ethereal white robe fluttered in the invisible wind.

He stood tall and straight, casually holding a seemingly ancient but actually imbued with the power to end all things—a cold, icy longsword.

With a face like jade and eyes like stars, his demeanor possessed both the transcendence of a celestial king and a heroic spirit of unbridled freedom from the world, laughing at the changing winds and clouds.

Even a single photograph evokes the image of a legendary swordsman descending to earth, a peerless figure poised to shatter the heavens and challenge the very heavens with his sword.

In the video, he walks on the calm, mirror-like surface of the water as if it were flat ground.

He tilted his head slightly, gazing at the boundless sky.

The instant he raised his eyes, Gu Yuena saw that his gaze itself transformed into an unparalleled divine sword, proud and unmatched in the world, which was drawn with a clang.

That arrogance and sharpness that transcends all living beings and things seems to be something that even the Buddhas and gods in the dark cannot stop him from reaching the summit.

In a daze, Gu Yuena seemed to transcend time and space, hearing the figure stepping on the water, and a clear, melodious laugh echoing under the sky:
"How short is the day, how easily a hundred years of suffering can pass."

The verses intertwined with the soaring sword intent, instantly drawing Gu Yuena's mind into a separate space. (End of Chapter)
