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

Lu Jun didn't even glance at the Imperial Guards who were stunned, terrified, and incredulous.

He didn't pull the sword out with his hand holding the hilt; he simply maintained the posture, like a traveler who leaves no trace in the snow, calmly passing through the guards who were frozen in place like ice sculptures.

Several guards on the periphery, whose will was slightly stronger, subconsciously tried to mobilize their remaining soul power or draw their spare melee weapons in a last-ditch effort.

However, the moment the thought crossed their minds, a bone-chilling cold and absolute stiffness came from their joints.

Looking down, they saw that a layer of crystal-clear yet incredibly hard ice crystals had become like the most ingenious shackles, firmly locking their wrists and ankles, and even freezing their boots to the ground.

No matter how much they tried to activate their soul power, the ice crystals remained unmoved, instead emanating a chilling aura that devoured their soul power.

The God-Slaying Guard, a legion supposedly built by the Federation with all its resources to deal with god-level threats and composed of the most elite soul masters, was completely annihilated in an instant before Lu Jun could even draw his sword. They lost all ability to resist, like clumsy puppets on a stage.

This is no coincidence.

Several years ago, after Lu Jun's attack on Shrek City, he once again revealed the sharpness of his Martial Soul True Body. His methods, like the finest spores, had already quietly infiltrated and influenced a key direction in the development of the Federation's Soul Guidance Technology.

That is the underlying structure of the energy source theory and the core array of the high-level soul tool.

The technological energy source inside the top-tier soul tools they used was provided by Lu Jun's power.

It was Lu Jun who planted a psychological suggestion in Kong Lao, the chief soul master of the Federation, so that he would go to the far north to find an energy source that could improve the soul tool technology.

And the far north... it's practically the same as Lu Jun's home.

Several years have passed, and the Federation's top-tier soul tool, its energy core and operating logic, have unknowingly developed a deep and intricate connection with Lu Jun's power origin.

At this moment, he merely touched a string that had been buried long ago.

Without killing a single person, they deprived the enemy of their most relied-upon henchmen.

Everything was predetermined when he made his move many years ago.

Otherwise, if Lu Jun hadn't intended to kill anyone, he would almost certainly have had to put in a lot of effort to deal with the Federation's soul tools.

And so, no one could stop them anymore.

Lu Jun's figure pierced through the layers of nominal defenses of the Xu family manor without any hindrance, his mental power precisely locking onto the unusually active energy node deep underground, which was faintly connected to the entire Mingdu earth vein.

He arrived at what appeared to be an ordinary rockery garden and raised his hand in a gesture of pressing down.

Silently, the ground cracked open, revealing a staircase entrance that extended downwards and shimmered with a ghostly blue guiding light.

Without hesitation, he descended the steps.

At the end of the stairs, a bright and open space suddenly appeared.

Hidden beneath the Xu family's base is a massive, state-of-the-art soul tool production and research base.

On a highly automated production line, various precision components are being assembled.

The enormous soul-guided furnace radiated intense heat and energy.

Researchers in white protective suits moved back and forth, seemingly unaware of Lu Jun's intrusion.

The area they were in was clearly protected by a separate life support and information shielding system. Lu Jun's gaze lingered on the cold machinery and busy figures for less than a second.

His goal is not here.

Following the increasingly clear and powerful fluctuations of the plane's origin in his spiritual perception, he passed through several alloy gates that required special permissions, and finally stepped into a completely different space.

Here, it's as if you've escaped the oppressive atmosphere of the underground and the coldness of machinery.

The sky, or rather the dome simulated by the cutting-edge soul-guiding technology at an extremely high altitude, appears to have a soft golden halo in people's eyes.

It's like the fusion of dawn and dusk.

Beneath my feet lay soft grass, exuding the fragrance of green grass and earth, dotted with a few unnamed wildflowers.

In the distance, there are even the sounds of babbling brooks and clear birdsong, clearly coming from the simulated environment system.

The air is fresh, the energy is abundant and gentle, a world apart from the cold base outside filled with soul-guided technology.

This is the most core forbidden area of ​​the Xu family, a meticulously crafted, almost independent little world.

It's a paradise on earth
At the center of the space, Emperor Xu Tian stood quietly.

He was still using that cane, but his surroundings were completely different.

A brilliant and gentle golden light, like flowing water, emanated from his body, and seemed to emerge from the void, swirling around him slowly.

That was not the light of soul power; its essence was more ancient, vast, and sacred, carrying an aura that encompassed and dominated all things.

That was a manifestation of the fundamental laws of the Douluo Star Plane!

Strands of golden threads, visible to the naked eye, rose from the depths of the earth where he stood and fell from the highest point of the simulated sky, like an umbilical cord connecting heaven and earth, or like a neural network of dimensions, continuously flowing into his body.

The moment these golden threads touched his dark gray robes, they transformed into tiny golden particles that silently seeped into his skin, giving his entire body a warm, jade-like, yet undeniably dazzling, golden glow.

His breathing was long, deep, and slow, already synchronized with a grand rhythm of this world and even the entire Douluo Star.

As he inhaled, the dense, almost palpable energy of heaven and earth converged from all directions along the golden threads, forming a miniature energy vortex between his mouth and nose. It was absorbed, refined, and transformed into the purest dimensional primordial power, nourishing every inch of his body.

As you exhale, a trace of energy that is too pure for the body to fully absorb is gently fed back and blends into the surrounding air and earth.

The grass beneath his feet grew greener and greener at a visible speed, and even quietly sprouted new buds.

The air was so full of life that it was almost dripping with moisture.

This is no longer a Soul Master's breathing technique to plunder the energy of heaven and earth, but a perfect cycle of harmonious coexistence between the deity and the plane that nurtured him.

With each breath, his life imprint connected more deeply and closely with the origin of Douluo Star.

About twenty meters away from Xu Tiandi, Di Yue was standing far away, her small face showing tension and curiosity, but she looked completely unharmed, not even a single hair was out of place.

Xu Tiandi seemed to have kept his vow and did not harm her in the slightest.

When Lu Jun appeared at the entrance to this secluded paradise, Di Yue saw him immediately. (End of Chapter)
