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

Night had quietly fallen, like a giant black curtain slowly enveloping this mountain range where the battle raged.

The bright moon was half-hidden by dark clouds, and the starlight was dim. Only the occasional flashes of soul skills and the firelight from explosions in the valley reflected the scene of this hellish landscape.

Amidst the vast, towering mountains, danger lurked everywhere. The figures fleeing for their lives were like prey running for their lives, with every now and then a figure flashing past like a startled meteor, their faces contorted with fear.

Behind them, the pursuers were like death gods, relentless and relentless, their fierce attacks constantly surging from the shadows, leaving them barely daring to breathe, and forcing them to desperately flee, squeezing out their last bit of life force.

Lu Jun, who had been maintaining a certain distance and pursuing his prey like a hunter, frowned slightly at this moment.

He sensed the direction the Titans were fleeing from; the energy fluctuations were becoming increasingly strange, and the space itself was becoming unstable, clearly indicating that they were extremely close to the core area.

He had been holding back his strength the whole time, keeping both the power of his soul skills and his manipulation of the energy of heaven and earth within a relatively gentle range.

This is both to fulfill the agreement with Harosa and to minimize the damage to the origin of the Douluo plane.

But in the current situation, Titan is about to escape into the core area, and I am holding back my attacks, so I have no ability to end the life of Titan, who is of priestly rank.

It seems that it's time to unleash my power.

Lu Jun murmured to himself, as if explaining something to some distant being:

"It seems I won't be able to fully keep my promise to you, Harosa."

He took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly changed, becoming incredibly sharp and icy.

"Don't blame me for the damage that follows."

As soon as the words fell——

An orange-gold spirit ring slowly rose from beneath Lu Jun's feet.

It was his sixth spirit ring, which he had never used before.

At the same time, in the void behind him, two exquisitely beautiful and majestic phantoms quietly coalesced and emerged.

This is a projection of Hyotei and Yukiteri.

Sixth Soul Skill: Blessing of the Ice and Snow Goddess!

This is the only pure amplification-type soul skill among Lu Jun's nine soul skills, and its effect is nothing short of heaven-defying.

The total amount of soul power and the recovery speed are instantly increased by 100%.

The power, control range, and freezing effect of all ice-attribute attacks are increased by 100%.

Within a certain range, all ice-attribute energy is under Lu Jun's absolute rule and control.

Furthermore, in the coming period, the base power of all the soul skills Lu Jun uses, including his self-created soul skills, will increase by 100% again.

In just a moment, Lu Jun's aura surged like a rocket, instantly breaking through an invisible critical point.

An icy blue halo burned and flowed across his body like a tangible flame. Countless crystal-clear ice and snow flowers, imbued with extreme cold, appeared out of thin air, swirling around his figure and slowly drifting down, enveloping him in a mysterious and powerful aura.

With the blessing of the Ice Goddess, Lu Jun's cultivation level was forcibly elevated to its current peak. And this was just the beginning.

Before the light of the sixth soul skill had completely dissipated, the seventh soul ring beneath Lu Jun's feet, which symbolized the power of the martial soul's origin and exuded an aura that made one's soul tremble, had already begun to tremble violently, about to make its dazzling debut.

Titan, who was fleeing for his life ahead, had his back to Lu Jun, but his priest-level keen senses allowed him to clearly perceive the terrifying aura that suddenly surged behind him, as if even the heavens and earth were about to freeze.

The omen of his seventh spirit ring being about to activate, in particular, terrified him.

"You're insane! You're a madman!!"

Titan let out a desperate roar in his heart.

He knew that once Lu Jun's Martial Soul True Form was unleashed, he would have no chance of escaping in this narrow valley.

Extreme fear and the instinct for survival overwhelmed all humiliation and anger.

"Roar--"

Titan's massive humanoid body could no longer be maintained; it expanded and deformed wildly like an inflated balloon.

His bronze skin instantly turned into a deep, mysterious black, like an endless starry sky, shimmering with a cold, metallic sheen, and the hair on his body resembled sharp steel needles standing upright.

A terrifying aura, originating from the ancient wilderness and powerful enough to subdue all beasts and shatter stars, suddenly descended like a colossal beast that had been dormant for millennia, sweeping across the entire valley.

In the blink of an eye, the true form of the Titan Ape appeared, a giant ape over a thousand meters tall, with its head almost touching the cliffs on both sides of the valley, its muscles bulging like a continuous steel mountain range, its limbs like giant pillars supporting the sky, and its eyes burning with violent golden flames.

Tearing away the last humanoid disguise, it revealed the Titan's primal form, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth.

However, after the awe-inspiring true form of the Titan Ape was revealed, its first action was not to turn around and fight Lu Jun to the death, but to let out an even deeper, thunderous roar, digging its four giant claws into the ground, bursting out with even greater speed, and continuing its frantic escape into the darkness of the deepest part of the valley without looking back.

The moment Lu Jun released his Martial Soul True Form, the heavens and earth seemed to let out a silent lament.

Centered on him, pure white frost spread rapidly.

Wherever it passed, whether it was rugged rocks, lush vegetation, or dust floating in the air, the residual energy waves instantly stripped away their original colors and completely dissipated their temperature, turning them into an endless, pure white that was breathtaking.

This white is not holy, but deathly stillness, a harbinger of the return of all things to nothingness, a frigid hell ruled by absolute zero.

Having revealed its true form as a thousand-meter-tall Titan Ape, Titan had pushed its speed to the limit of its life, causing the earth to tremble with every step it took, attempting to break through this white death zone with pure power.

However, Lu Jun's power was like an invisible tide, omnipresent. Cold ice flowers continuously condensed and bloomed on his massive body, greedily absorbing his divine power and life force.

The insidious, chilling poison seeped into his body through the wound inflicted by the Ice Abyss Sword.
Even more so, the tangible waves of frost, like maggots clinging to his bones, constantly assaulted and froze his movements.

"Snap... hiss..."

Titan's incredibly tough hide and muscles, comparable to divine metal, cracked and froze under the extreme cold, new wounds constantly appearing and old wounds being covered and enlarged by the ice.

He was like an ancient behemoth that had stumbled into the Ice Age, his body covered in ice, disheveled and exhausted, his life force visibly waning.

But he was, after all, a divine beast of the priestly level. With an indomitable will and an extreme desire to survive, he withstood the all-encompassing erosion and freezing, letting out a painful roar that shattered the surrounding cliffs, and then suddenly charged forward. (End of this chapter)
