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

"Huh?" Harosa was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lu Jun to make this request.

He pondered for a long while before saying apologetically:
"Your Excellency, I am very sorry. This is something I am afraid I cannot do."

"Why?" Lu Jun pressed.

Harosa sighed, his tone becoming heavy:

"Because Lord Huo Yuhao's current condition... is extremely bad, to an unimaginable degree."

He explained slowly:

"Your Excellency may not know that in the vast star sea beyond Douluo Star, there has always existed another powerful plane that is eyeing us covetously."

"If the other side launches a full-scale invasion, Douluo Star will be powerless to resist with its current strength."

"Back then, in order to protect his homeland, Lord Huo Yuhao resolutely chose to use his own divine body as the foundation and his divine soul as the guide to construct a protective barrier covering the entire Douluo Star around the planet."

"This barrier is our only defense against external enemies."

His voice was filled with deep admiration and regret:

"But this is equivalent to Lord Huo Yuhao using his own life essence as fuel to maintain the operation of the barrier."

“This state could not have lasted for long... and now, Lord Huo Yuhao has been holding on alone for a full ten thousand years.”

"He is no longer the mighty god he once was; his divine power is exhausted and his soul is dim."

"The current protective barrier is as fragile as glass, and it will shatter at the slightest touch."

"Lord Huo Yuhao's once unparalleled spiritual power at the God King level has long since been exhausted and is nearing its limit."

"The reason he has been holding on until now, refusing to give up, is all because he is waiting for your appearance, waiting for an opportunity to turn the situation around."

Lu Jun frowned:

"So he's in such dire straits that he's just letting the Federation and the Qian Gu family act with such impunity?"

"Or was the plan to resurrect him secretly approved or promoted by him?"

"...The specific underlying reasons are unknown to this subordinate."

Harosa shook his head.

"All I know is that Lord Huo Yuhao's soul core has been perfectly preserved."

"His divine body and most of his spiritual power have merged with the barrier, maintaining its stability."

"Now all that remains is this last ember of his soul that sustains his existence."

He raised his head and looked at Lu Jun, his eyes extremely solemn:

"If even this last bit of his soul dissipates, then Lord Huo Yuhao... will truly perish completely."

"understood."

Lu Jun's gaze was calm, but his heart was already churning with turmoil.

During their conversation, the two arrived at their destination.

The manor where a family has been entrenched for millennia.

This manor is nestled in a mountain range with excellent feng shui on the outskirts of Mingdu, occupying the most central and most spiritually abundant area of ​​the entire valley.

The towering metal walls gleamed with a cold, hard light, covered with dense soul-guiding runes that faintly formed a powerful defensive array.

Inside the manor, pavilions and towers were scattered in a well-organized manner, and the flying eaves and brackets revealed the heritage and luxury of an ancient family. The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth was almost condensed into a tangible mist, flowing slowly through the valley, making it a veritable paradise for cultivation. The two of them simultaneously focused their gazes on the magnificent gate of the manor.

The four guards standing at the gate were all dressed in uniform black outfits, with tall and straight figures and a powerful and condensed aura; they were all at the Soul King level.

Those who can appoint a Soul King as a guard are undoubtedly top-tier forces.

The Qian Gu Family is among them.

They were clearly well-trained; as Lu Jun and Harosa approached slowly, they immediately noticed them, their eyes flashing with both surprise and high vigilance.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Qian Gu family's home!"

The head guard suppressed his unease, stepped forward, and shouted sternly, trying to intimidate the others with his imposing manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, his heart sank.

He had already recognized the calm-looking young man in white walking ahead as Lu Jun, who was now famous throughout the continent and was also at odds with the ancient families.

However, due to his duty and the invisible pressure he felt from Lu Jun's seemingly calm yet unfathomable aura, he could only grit his teeth and continue to reprimand him with a fierce but weak tone.

Lu Jun had no interest in wasting words with him, and didn't even stop walking.

"Step aside."

Just two words, spoken calmly, yet they seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, transforming into an invisible thunderclap that fiercely struck the minds and eardrums of the four guards.

The four guards' expressions changed drastically in an instant. They felt an irresistible, overwhelming pressure rushing towards them like a tsunami. Their chests felt as if they had been hit hard, their breathing suddenly became difficult, their legs went weak, and they uncontrollably staggered back several steps, their faces filled with horror.

The captain of the guards was terrified, knowing that things were unlikely to end well today. He roared at the top of his lungs:
"Enemy attack! High alert! It's Lord Lu! Lord Lu is here—!!"

A piercing alarm suddenly blared from the depths of the manor, like the mournful cry of a dying beast, sharp and shrill, piercing the tranquil night sky and echoing wildly throughout the valley, startling countless birds into flight.

Lu Jun was too lazy to pay attention to these minor characters anymore, nor did he want to make things difficult for them.

He didn't even glance at the guards who were frantically activating their defensive soul tools. He simply tilted his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the layers of buildings, locking onto the subtle yet powerful aura deep within the manor.

The next moment, a roar, like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia, erupted from his mouth:
"Qian Gu Die Ting—Get out here!!!"

A roar arose, like the heavens in fury, like a god-king's howl.

The sound seemed to transform into a tangible yet intangible wave of destructive sound, which exploded violently.

Wherever the sound passed, the space seemed to distort slightly, and visible ripples of sound spread wildly in all directions from Lu Jun as the center.

Rumble——!
The deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth, lingering for a long time.

In that instant, the entire vast ancient family manor, from top to bottom, from the core area to the edge corners, everyone, whether asleep, cultivating, or on duty, was completely alarmed by this terrifying momentum that was like the arrival of the apocalypse.

The sound was so powerful, like thousands of thunderbolts exploding in one's ears at the same time, making one's eardrums sting and one's mind tremble.

Many members of the ancient family who were in deep meditation or asleep were forcibly jolted out of their meditative state by this roar. Many of them tumbled off their beds in a disheveled state, feeling dizzy and dazed, and broke out in a cold sweat.

His pupils suddenly contracted and dilated due to extreme fear. He looked around blankly, thinking he was experiencing an incredibly real nightmare.

boom--

The ground beneath their feet, the solid stone slabs, and even the buildings in the distance trembled slightly but clearly from the shockwaves caused by the roar.

At that moment, all the members of the ancient family who had regained consciousness instantly realized...

This is no dream!

Huge troubles have arrived! (End of Chapter)
