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

Chapter 639 Lu Jun's Dream, the Source of the Anomaly?
At this moment, Lu Jun felt as if he had fallen into a long and bizarre dream.

In his dream, he found himself in a cold, desolate, and boundless deep space of the universe.

All around was eternal darkness and nothingness, with only distant stars emitting a faint light.

He didn't know why he was here. He only felt that the vacuum was like an invisible tide, squeezing in from all directions, seeping into his limbs and even the depths of his soul, bringing an indescribable heaviness and exhaustion.

His eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them. His consciousness teetered on the edge of lucidity and despair.

In the dream, he seemed to be in an extremely bad state—severely injured, with weak vitality, and eventually lost consciousness completely, only able to entrust the last bit of his essence to the Ice Abyss Sword.

So he followed the Ice Abyss Sword and began his aimless drifting through the universe.

The Ice Abyss Sword seemed to have lost control, emanating an extreme chill far exceeding absolute zero.

Wherever it passed, space seemed to freeze. Those planets and planes that occasionally emanated faint life or energy fluctuations were covered with an eternal layer of frost upon approaching, their life force was cut off, and their energy stagnated, as if they had encountered a cosmic winter.

The Ice Abyss Sword is like a moving calamity star representing "end" and "freezing," wandering silently through the universe, leaving behind a frozen trail.

From the perspective of the dream, Lu Jun could "see" that behind the drifting path of the Ice Abyss Sword, a huge, turbid, dark red aura filled with the desire to devour and destroy, the abyss energy, was following closely behind.

It greedily devoured the planes and energy bodies whose power had been greatly weakened by the Ice Abyss Sword.

Although the Ice Abyss Sword's unconscious actions did not directly destroy those worlds, they greatly weakened their defenses, creating a fatal breach in the abyss behind it.

As it devoured more and more planes and energy, the abyssal aura grew increasingly massive and terrifying, like a snowball rolling downhill, relentlessly following behind the Ice Abyss Sword, and finally... together they arrived at the star field where the Douluo plane was located.

In the latter half of the dream, Lu Jun felt himself and the Ice Abyss Sword fall like meteors, piercing through layers of spatial barriers, and finally crashing heavily into the core of the far north of the Douluo plane, falling into a long silence.

Just as the dream was about to end, a strong sense of being watched arose inexplicably deep within Lu Jun's consciousness.

He seemed to sense that, at the highest point of that boundless universe, a pair of cold, indifferent eyes, seemingly containing the laws of the universe, had been silently watching him, watching the Ice Abyss Sword, watching all of this from beginning to end…

"Well……"

A strong desire to awaken broke free from the shackles of the dream.

Lu Jun's eyelids twitched violently a few times before he finally managed to open them a crack.

The moment consciousness returned, the first feeling was an indescribable weariness from the depths of the soul, as if one had just embarked on a long journey across the universe.

Immediately afterwards, the soft touch, the warm body temperature, and a cool yet familiar fragrance took over all the senses.

He blinked blankly for a moment, then his gaze gradually focused.

What came into view was Gu Yuena's flawless face, so close yet so far.

With her eyes tightly closed and her long silver eyelashes trembling slightly, she was passionately and stubbornly kissing his lips.

At the same time, he could clearly feel Gu Yuena's curvaceous, soft, and elastic body pressed tightly against him, her unique fragrance wafting towards him, carrying a hint of anxiety and recklessness.

This... what is going on?
Lu Jun's mind went completely blank for a moment. Hadn't he just had an abstract and bizarre dream about drifting through space?
How come I woke up to a world full of perks?
Haven't you woken up yet?
He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to push Gu Yuena away and ask her for clarification, but to his horror, he found that his whole body was limp and he couldn't muster any strength.

It wasn't physical fatigue, but a weakness and heaviness that originated from the very core of the soul, as if it had been hollowed out.

However, his subtle movements and open eyes were finally noticed by Gu Yuena, who was fully engaged in the "awakening ritual".

Gu Yuena suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and met Lu Jun's bewildered and weak gaze.

She was stunned for a moment, then an overwhelming joy instantly overwhelmed her. She immediately raised her head, a radiant smile of relief blooming on her beautiful face, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement:
"Lu Jun! You're finally awake!"

Lu Jun, still feeling a bit weak, stood up with Gu Yuena's help.

That heaviness and weariness, originating from the depths of the soul, clung to me like a maggot, and did not dissipate in the slightest even with the awakening of consciousness.

He tried to mobilize his soul power. Although the flow of soul power was smooth, the mental fatigue made his reaction a beat slower than usual.

"What... what's wrong with me?"

He was stunned when he opened his mouth.

His voice was dry and hoarse, as if it had been sanded, completely different from his usual clear and melodious voice.

This unusual situation cast an even deeper shadow over his heart.

"We don't know what happened to you. What's wrong? Why do you look so weak?"

Gu Yuena hurriedly supported his arm, her purple eyes filled with undisguised worry. She quickly straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, which had been disturbed by the "intense" way she had been awakened earlier.

Hearing the commotion inside, Leng Yulai, who had been waiting outside, immediately pushed the door open and entered. Seeing the conscious Lu Jun, she breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying:
"My little darling, you're finally awake! If you hadn't woken up, Nana would have ripped the ceiling off!"

"Hurry up, it'll be time to assemble soon, and you'll be entering Dragon Valley!"

Lu Jun rubbed his still throbbing temples, and forced himself to break free from Gu Yuena's support, trying to stand on his own.

A wave of weakness washed over me; this was no ordinary fatigue.

He was even more confused and couldn't help but ask himself: Even if he had worked tirelessly for three days straight to forge the four-word battle armor, with his physique and cultivation, he should not have fallen to this state!
Gu Yuena gazed at his pale face and spoke in a solemn tone:
"Just now, in order to awaken you, I used a trace of the original dragon god's power, forcibly injecting it into your body to stimulate your consciousness to recover."

She paused, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in her purple eyes.

"But during that process, through my perception of the Dragon God's power, I vaguely sensed... that there seemed to be a very, very subtle and weak strange power residing within you."

"It is this force that has been continuously suppressing your spiritual essence, causing you to fall into that unusually deep slumber and your current state of weakness."

"what?!"

These words struck Lu Jun like a thunderbolt, completely startling him.

He had extremely strong control over his body, and the Ice Abyss Sword's essence constantly permeated and protected him, so he was completely unaware when this strange power invaded him.
