Startled Zhu Meng quickly retreated, sheepishly apologizing, "Grandpa Snake, I called you grandpa, I was wrong, okay?"

Mo Fan, who was resting and recuperating beside him, stared in disbelief. He had seen pictures of the Xuan Snake on television, the internet, and in newspapers.

Even the pictures were incredibly shocking, and seeing them in person now makes me even more awestruck. I dare not get close, and only feel a little safe when surrounded by Super Rank mages.

"Damn it." Mo Fan cursed inwardly with envy, "Old Lu actually has such a big connection with this kind of creature, doesn't that mean he can do whatever he wants across the country?"

Hiss!

The black serpent slowly lowered its massive head, and its deep roar, like thunder from the sky, reached the group.

Lu Jun stepped forward and gently stroked the scales on the snake's cheek, whispering, "Thank you for your hard work, big guy."

At the same time, he also noticed that the White Tiger Pendant on his chest was shining, exuding a sacred aura.

Unfortunately, the level of revival was insufficient to trigger a resonance between the holy marks of the totems, thus preventing a significant increase in their respective strengths.

"Let's fight our way through!"

Lu Jun controlled the movement with his mind, his body shimmering with silver light, and slowly rose into the air, landing on the head of the Xuan Snake. He then addressed the Super Rank mages.

"Good!" Han Ji's spirits lifted, and he shouted, "Everyone break through and escort the team into the Abyss of Calamity!"

The thousands of mages below, following the instructions of the Mind Element and Sound Element, finally realized that this supreme and majestic serpent king belonged to their side.

Immediately, everyone's morale soared, and they shouted "Wonderful victory!"

The Skeleton Nether Lord was originally close to the sky, was forced to a higher altitude by the aura of the Black Serpent. Upon seeing this, the Bone Dragon launched a probing attack.

It opened its enormous mouth, and dark energy shimmered within. A towering, jet-black beam of light pierced the sky, spanning thousands of meters, and struck the majestic body of the Xuan Serpent.

Rumble! A large area of black death light spread across the surface of the Xuan Snake, but after the smoke and dust dissipated, apart from a few broken scales appearing at the core of the shockwave, not even any blood appeared from the wounds.

With a roar, the Totem Mysterious Snake straightened its body and gave the Bone Dragon in the sky a cold look.

Then it suddenly leaped into the air, its body moving so fast that it almost blurred into a blur.

Thump! In the blink of an eye, the giant Bone Dragon was violently sent flying, sending large fragments of silver bone flying everywhere. Like a powerless bird, it spiraled down and crashed heavily to the ground.

A deafening roar erupted as a deep crater collapsed, causing a violent earthquake.

The Skeleton Nether Lord was only Mid-level Monarch, not even as good as the Silver Dome Lord, and he suffered relatively serious injuries from this attack.

After casually smashing the Bone Dragon with its head, the black serpent ignored it and flew twenty kilometers without looking back, heading straight for the Corpse of the Mountain Peak.

This disregard deeply hurt the Bone Dragon. It roared angrily, struggled to its feet, spread its wings, and gave chase.

But halfway there, Zhu Meng, Fei Jiao, and Lu Xu blocked their path in mid-air, saying calmly, "Your opponent is me."

Rumble!

At the same time, Lu Jun rode the Black Serpent, overlooking the Sea of the Dead, his domineering heart rising.

The black serpent was unstoppable; wherever it passed, its enormous body crushed countless skeletons, corpses, and undead.

It carved a wide, blank line through the vast expanse of the dead.

With the pressure on the thousands of mages in the rear greatly reduced, and as two or three hundred High-Order Mage intervened in the battle and dealt with ancient tombs one after another, the intensity of the war increased.

The black serpent descended, encircling the Corpse of the Mountain Peak. The two confronted each other, their power escalating as they collided in the void, creating terrifying fluctuations.

Han Ji and Lu Huan each faced the Agate Corpse and the Mist Ghost Commander, while the remaining Super Rank members joined forces to hold off the White Corpse King, the Crimson Hole, and the Ghost Tyrant.

Super Rank magic swept across the land, and the clash of Monarch Level beings shook the heavens and earth, resembling a battlefield of gods and demons, a fierce and bloody battle.

Lu Jun said to Mo Fan and the others, who were also riding on the Xuan Snake, "They're being restrained. You all need to jump into the Abyss of Calamity quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Fan and the other three glanced at the dark hole in the ground not far away.

The abyss was infinitely vast, with countless bodies and limbs writhing beneath it, piled up one on top of another, corpse upon corpse, corpse crawling on corpse, stacked like a mountain...

Billions of dead souls piled up, like the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Suddenly, the boiler containing the dead souls was overturned and exposed to the Mortal World.

The torment and pain of Purgatory were fully revealed, and the surging resentment was about to transform into a towering pillar, turning into rolling black clouds!

They hesitated for a moment, but seeing the Corpse of the Mountain Peak about to crash into them, they gritted their teeth, and the four of them leaped down, disappearing into the deep pit of corpses.

Then Lu Jun and Lu Mei also took to the air, like two birds, and landed in the black Tide of the dead that covered the mountains and fields, disappearing without a trace.

The great battle between the two Supreme Monarch, the Totem Mysterious Snake and the Corpse of the Mountain Peak, may no longer be able to protect the two. Leaving in time and not becoming a burden is the right thing to do.

After Lu Jun activated his Mind Invisibility, the two strolled leisurely through the dense horde of undead.

Not only did the undead ignore the past, but even the Super Rank mages who were engaged in fierce combat didn't notice it.

Looking at the Abyss of Calamity not far away, Lu Jun finally told his sister the truth, "I need to go in and get something very important."

Chapter 243 The White Tomb Palace

Lu Mei was startled by her brother's words, caught off guard.

She knew that Lu Jun had made many preparations and had other plans before coming to the Ancient Capital, but she never expected it to be so dangerous.

"No way," Lu Mei retorted instinctively, "I disagree. Isn't it only those with the bloodline of Ancient King who can enter Abyss of Calamity?"

Lu Jun calmly said, "I have concealed a bit of the Earth Sacred Spring, enough to mask my aura."

"Moreover, the Ancient King's tomb contains his legacy. If one were to master this power, reaching the pinnacle of the world would be just around the corner. You are well aware of my situation."

After saying this, Lu Mei hesitated, her voice suddenly becoming softer, and said without much confidence, "But people like Mo Fan, whether they succeed or not, will definitely die the moment they jump into the Abyss of Calamity."

"Don't worry," Lu Jun reassured him, "I'm very confident. Besides, Mo Fan dared to jump for the people of the Ancient Capital. If I succeed, I can also stop the Ancient King from reviving."

Lu Mei gritted her teeth in frustration; this brat had never consulted her before.

She took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Jun, and suddenly wrapped her arms around him, kissing him fiercely.

Waaaaaah!

Lu Jun's eyes widened as the older sister began to kiss him indiscriminately.

After a moment, Lu Mei released her mouth, her fair and mature face flushed, her lips moist, and she bit a strand of hair at the corner of her mouth, looking charming and alluring.

She looked at Lu Jun earnestly and said, "You must come back alive."

"Hmm!" Lu Jun nodded emphatically, his expression blank, then turned and jumped into the Abyss of Calamity without hesitation.

Above the black hole, a strong, eerie wind howled, and a terrifying, devouring force swept his figure into it.

Standing there, Lu Mei stared into the abyss, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Even after the effect of Mind Invisibility wears off, the surrounding spirits, upon discovering the living person and trying to surround them, remain completely still.

With a roar, golden-red flames erupted from her body in the next instant, and her monarchical aura soared into the sky. With Jiang Feng present, she was completely unafraid of her own safety and slaughtered everyone in her path.

At the same time, Lu Jun fell into the Abyss of Calamity, his vision was completely dark, and the howling and resentment of ghosts from all directions constantly assaulted his mind.

He was like someone stuffed into a washing machine, turned upside down and out of order.

Fortunately, a drop of Earth Sacred Spring rose from Lu Jun's arms, and a blue light formed a protective film around him.

When he awoke, he had already arrived at the depths of the Abyss of Calamity.

It is certain that the Abyss of Calamity is an overlapping space.

The first level of space is an abyss where ghostly demons fly like clouds and mad corpses pile up like mountains. Most living things that fall into it will be torn to pieces and become part of it.

Even the forbidden spells that once explored this place were lost.

Beneath this Abyss of Calamity of evil spirits lies another space, so vast it's as if you've fallen into another world.

Lu Jun looked up and saw that the land was gray and the sky was dark and unclear.

In the distance, there is a mountain peak with a striking white palace atop it, entirely constructed of white jade, so smooth that it reflects the sky.

Originally, White Tomb Palace would appear magnificent, noble, holy, and serene, but this white is more like the eerie white of a funeral, exuding gloom everywhere, and the smooth jade cannot wash away this sense of death.

Mo Fan and his companions have disappeared; they've probably gone deep into that White Tomb Palace.

However, Lu Jun made an unexpected discovery: he saw a middle-aged man with a thick beard, dressed in military uniform, struggling to get up.

It seems they arrived a little earlier than him.

Lu Jun understood. "Instructor Zhan Kong?"

He could see the other person, but Zhan Kong couldn't see him, completely ignoring him, because his Mind Invisibility was always active.

When did Zhan Kong arrive?

Lu Jun's memory was hazy; they were probably hidden among the High-Order Mage. There were two or three hundred of them, from the military, the Adjudication Court, and civilian hunters. He hadn't looked at them closely.

A moment later, Zhan Kong returned to normal, his Wind Wings flapping behind him as he flew towards the distant White Tomb Palace.

Seeing this, Lu Jun also moved, following behind Zhan Kong.

The two stepped into the magnificent white palace one after the other. The white jade steps were like steps to heaven, layer upon layer, leading upwards.

Every ten steps, two majestic stone statues stand.

"The Terracotta Warriors? They look so similar to the White Sand Demon Soldier of the Sand Net River."

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought, recalling a similar stone figurine found at an Earth Sacred Spring in the Helan Mountains, which he guessed was left by the First Emperor.

Soon, they arrived at the main gate of the white palace, where a strange bronze mirror hung above and white tripods were placed on either side.

The gate was already open, Mo Fan and his three companions went in first.

Upon seeing the bronze mirror, Lu Jun was prepared. He used Water Element- based light and shadow refraction to cover his body with a hazy mist, completely concealing his form.

[Bronze mirrors] are not simple; they are a monitoring method developed by ancient blacksmiths more than two thousand years ago.

The things reflected in the eerie bronze mirror are reflected on the other side, namely the Kun Jing Water in the Sixth Village of Danger.

The strange murals, reflected in the water, are actually a glimpse of the white palace.

Although the Super Rank mages are currently engaged in a life-or-death battle and do not have the leisure to spy on everyone as in the original story, Lu Jun has gone into hiding just in case.

As he entered the gate, he found himself in a long gallery, with what appeared to be lithographs from the Ancient King's personal collection hanging on both sides.

Lu Jun is serious. Pay attention here; it's a trick that combines Mind Element and Space Element.

If he failed to pass through, he would be forever imprisoned in the white cemetery; he remembered that there were similar mechanisms in the pyramids of Egypt.

Well, the Undead Element always does these random things.

Coincidentally, his expertise was a perfect match, allowing him to easily crack the code. However, the Zhan Kong Curse Element, along with the Ancient King descendant, was even faster than him.

After passing the gallery, Lu Jun remembered something, so he quickly bypassed Zhan Kong and headed straight for the front hall of the Ancient King's tomb.

Turning a corner, he saw Mo Fan and his three companions gathered around a pure white lotus flower, which was crystal clear and exuded a fragrance.

[Eternal Demonic Lotus]!

An immortal creation, capable of being destroyed only by Forbidden Curse Magic.

Thus, it became a dead end. Forbidden Curse Mage, lacking the bloodline of the Ancient King, would inevitably face the most terrifying slaughter upon entering this place.

However, the few descendants of the Ancient King had not yet reached the level of forbidden spell cultivation.

Fang Gu sighed, "It is Heaven's will to destroy the Ancient Capital."

Lu Jun boldly stood beside the crowd, staring intently at the Eternal Demonic Lotus, secretly activating the White Tiger Pendant in an attempt to absorb it.

The fact that this demonic lotus is still alive means that it contains enormous energy, enough to elevate the Azure Dragon Pendant from the level of Nebula Magic Tool to the level of Star River Magic Tool.

He wondered if refining it would allow the White Tiger Pendant to advance further.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Lu Jun tried to stimulate the pendant, the blood lake remained calm and seemed completely uninterested.

"That's right, the Eternal Demonic Lotus belongs to the wood element, and the Azure Dragon Totem is also associated with the wood element of the East. It must have been formed by the convergence and condensation of a large amount of Azure Dragon power."

Lu Jun sighed, feeling that they were destined to meet but not to be together, but he wasn't too regretful.

If he obtains the Ancient King Armor Robe, he will be guaranteed at least a low-level Emperor in the future. As he gradually digests the power, his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

Chapter 244 Nine Deaths One Life Bridge, The Demon Mo Fan!

Seeing that the White Tiger Pendant wasn't interested in the Eternal Demonic Lotus, Lu Jun stood aside like a ghost.
