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

Gu Yuena keenly noticed Lu Jun's momentary loss of composure.

His face suddenly turned pale, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and a fleeting look of fear appeared deep in his pupils.

Her heart tightened, and she immediately stepped forward to support his swaying body. Her slender hand felt the stiffness and coldness in his arm, and her worry was evident.

"Lu Jun? What's wrong?"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were fixed on him.

"Could it be... that something went wrong while absorbing the power of the God-King? Or..."

Her greatest fear was that the fundamental rules of the universe would not allow Lu Jun to advance to the God-King level through such trickery, thus subjecting him to terrifying interference.

If that's the case, Lu Jun is likely to repeat the same mistake, or even perish on the spot. Without him as their core, their recent victory will vanish in an instant, and what awaits them is the merciless reckoning of the divine realm.

Lu Jun took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the shock brought by the apocalyptic scene in his mind.

He gently grasped Gu Yuena's slightly cool hand, indicating that he could still hold on.

Lu Jun did not hide anything and described to Gu Yuena in detail the shattered and desperate future scene transmitted by the Ice Abyss Sword.

From successfully absorbing divine power, to being mercilessly blocked and backfired by mysterious laws when attempting to become a God King, to Gu Yuena forcibly fusing with the Dragon God's bloodline to save him but being besieged by chains of laws, ultimately perishing in the abyss tide, and the plane seal breaking, the abyss invading in large numbers under the leadership of the mysterious God King, and Douluo Star finally falling...

Every detail, like a cold carving knife, etched itself into their hearts.

Gu Yuena listened quietly, her delicate body trembling slightly involuntarily.

When she heard that she had risked everything to transform into a dragon god, yet still could not reverse the defeat and was ultimately swallowed by the endless abyss, her pretty face had lost all color and turned deathly pale.

She never imagined that the situation would become so serious.

This is not just a failure for personal advancement, but a catastrophe concerning the survival of the entire plane.

Even her ultimate trump card, which she risked her life to try and regain her position as the Dragon God, seemed so pale and powerless in the face of that mysterious power of law and the long-planned abyss.

"Who is that God-King standing behind the abyss...?"

Gu Yuena's voice was slightly hoarse as she grasped a key point in the scene.

The fact that a clearly defined god-king level being stands on the side of the abyss is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Lu Jun frowned, lost in thought.

He carefully reviewed every fragment of information in the warning images and made deductions based on his understanding of the world.

The Abyss Plane is eyeing Douluo Continent with covetous intent...

It possesses the characteristic of absorbing life energy.

And the subtle, palpable pressure emanating from it, far exceeding that of ordinary abyssal beings…

A name gradually became clear in his mind.

"If I'm not mistaken..."

Lu Jun spoke slowly, his tone solemn.

"The abyss plane we are facing now is likely not its complete form."

"It's more like a... vanguard, yes, a vanguard legion sent to scout."

"Or rather, just an insignificant fragment."

"And the true mother behind the Abyss Plane should be the Crimson Domain, the final nightmare that the Douluo Federation will face ten thousand years from now."

He explained to Gu Yuena:

"The Crimson Realm is a terrifying high plane that has reached the peak of the fourth dimension and is infinitely close to breaking through to the fifth dimension and forming its own divine realm."

"It uses the life energy of other planets and planes as its sole means of survival and evolution. Inside, there are at least ten emperors, twenty king-level super god-level combatants, and more than a hundred super god-level monarchs."

"Its ruler, known as the Crimson Mother, is a terrifying being at the half-step God-King level." "You probably don't know what 'Super God-level' means; simply put, they represent the combat power and cultivation of a first-level deity..."

"First-level gods...that means they have more than thirty first-level gods?" Gu Yuena gasped upon hearing this.

How can Douluo Continent possibly stand up to them?

"The Abyss Plane we are facing now is likely just a vanguard that split off from the Crimson Realm to probe and plunder."

"But in the warning footage, the combat power of this abyssal plane was clearly abnormally enhanced, and behind them stood a true god-king..."

Lu Jun's gaze sharpened as he tried to recall the details of the blurry figure and a sentence that seemed to faintly echo in the scene.

That was the mocking declaration of the mysterious god-king:
"Huo Yuhao, do you see this? The Douluo Star you've painstakingly protected for ten thousand years is nothing but this!"

These words struck him like a thunderbolt.

"Huo Yuhao!"

Lu Jun suddenly understood, and all the clues instantly connected.

"In the scene, the one leading the remnants of the Douluo Continent in a desperate resistance against the undead plane is undoubtedly Huo Yuhao. That mysterious God King called out his name himself!"

The truth is gradually coming to light.

“I understand…” Lu Jun murmured, “Why does the Abyss Plane, and even the Crimson Domain behind it, remain inactive despite having the ability to invade Douluo Continent at any time, only engaging in small-scale infiltration and probing…”

"It's because of Huo Yuhao!"

Gu Yuena instantly understood, a hint of shock flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"He single-handedly intimidated the entire Abyss Plane, even making the Crimson Realm hesitant to launch a full-scale invasion!"

This conclusion is enough to imagine just how terrifying Huo Yuhao's strength has reached.

One person guards an entire realm, preventing even powerful beings from crossing the line!

Just how powerful is he?

Silently protecting Douluo Star for ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years.

"Moreover, his actual combat strength is probably even more outrageous than we imagined." Lu Jun continued to analyze, "The warning images suggest that he almost single-handedly suppressed and even defeated the main forces of the Crimson Domain and the Abyss Plane, causing them to be routed."

"It can be said that without the intervention of that mysterious law power, Huo Yuhao alone would have had no problem protecting Douluo Star from harm."

"However, it was that mysterious law power that helped the Crimson Domain that severely injured Huo Yuhao at the critical moment, which led to his defeat or capture by that mysterious God King, ultimately causing the defense line of Douluo Star to collapse completely."

After listening to Lu Jun's meticulous analysis, Gu Yuena nodded solemnly, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

She recalled the scene when she had just woken up.

"Actually... my intuition has always told me that Huo Yuhao is very likely still alive."

Gu Yuena said softly, her gaze somewhat distant.

"When I first awoke from my slumber, the Silver Dragon King's instincts and resentment towards humans for encroaching on the territory of the soul beasts made my first thought to wage war against the entire human world and reclaim everything that belonged to the soul beasts."

"But Di Tian dissuaded me, telling me that humans and soul beasts had already achieved a certain degree of coexistence. That was certainly one reason, but the main reason was..."

She paused, as if recalling some unsettling feeling.

"When the thought of 'destroying humanity and reviving the soul beasts' became incredibly strong in my mind, I clearly felt that, in the darkness, a pair of eyes were watching me, seemingly without being there."

She couldn't help but shiver.
"That gaze... was cold and vast, carrying an undeniable warning, as if I would face annihilation the moment I dared to take any action."

"At the time, I didn't know who it was, but now that you've said it... it must be Huo Yuhao without a doubt!" (End of Chapter)
