The Seat of the Underworld King / I Alone Reign Supreme

Within the Spiritual World, amidst a platinum-gold Nebula, a supreme immortal sword, empowered by the White Tiger, cleaved through the sky with a sharp crack, breaching the thick fortress.

The Nebula expanded rapidly, causing a violent tremor in the universe. A magnificent platinum galaxy emerged, resembling a dragon-shaped celestial sword, its sharpness fully revealed.

Outside, Lu Jun's entire body shone with platinum radiance, and a three-foot-long Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword floated in front of him, simultaneously being baptized. The two seal characters on its surface finally became clear: [Tai'a Sword]!

Behind him, one after another, the Star Chart Venus are drawn and interwoven, forming a magnificent constellation, presenting a scene of ten thousand swords returning to their origin, with 343 stars twinkling at the nodes.

Breakthrough to [High -Metal Element]!

Lu Jun sensed three galaxies of different brilliance looming in his mind: azure, black-red, and platinum filled the universe, giving rise to a powerful feeling.

After so long, the Metal Element Intermediate Level finally reached the high-level stage.

Surprisingly, with the help of the White Tiger Pendant, he managed to master the Metal Element in one fell swoop.

The basic effect is a significant increase in control over Metal Element, allowing for arbitrary transformation of the properties and forms of metals, such as from solidified to liquid, or from large cubes to nanospheres, and so on.

It can even manipulate multiple metal ions to recombine into alloys.

If scientists from the previous era knew this, they would probably exclaim in amazement that it was a glimmer of hope for humanity.

Whether it's space elevators, nuclear fusion, aircraft generators, or other fields, the fundamental reason for the constraints on their development is materials science.

Chapter 246 The King of Hell Throne

The control over metals within the Metal Element domain is merely a secondary aspect.

The Metal Element domain, named [Taibai] by Lu Jun, truly has special effects derived from the two metals fused into the Tai'a Sword —Vajra and Death Tribulation.

The two additional effects can be extended and temporarily applied to any metal within the area.

This gave him a wild idea: with his ability to control metal, he could forge a massive metal fortress, plate it with diamond-like effects, and wouldn't that make him invincible?!

Unfortunately, the Taibai Domain requires a high concentration of gold elements or a large amount of metallic substances within its area to control metals.

Furthermore, forging a super fortress is beyond his magical capabilities.

Even so, Lu Jun was quite satisfied. Combined with the high-level Metal Element High-level Magic [Tai Bai Divine Treasure], its destructive power was comparable to that of Commander-level.

The first-level [Tai Bai Divine Treasure - Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation] projected a metallic dimension in the sky, condensing into an imprisoning array, and then unleashed a barrage of various heavenly swords.

Everything enveloped by the sword formation will be firmly fixed in place by magnetic force, facing the judgment of the infinite swords.

In some ways, it is similar to the Lightning Ring Punishment of the Super Rank Lightning Element, the difference being in its power and destructive attributes.

The Tai Bai Divine Treasure contains various precious swords designed to counter different enemies, with each subsequent level two and three sword having an increasingly powerful effect.

With the help of the two advanced abilities, Taibai Domain and White Tiger Pendant.

Lu Jun suddenly had a brilliant idea, and after careful consideration, he found that it could be put into practice.

That's making Magic Tool with bare hands!

The Taibai Realm selects various metals, shapes them to suit their properties and forms, and then enchants them with magic and the White Tiger Pendant.

Currently, with his mastery of Curse Element and Mind Element, coupled with his ability to Through the Profound Soul Capture, the type of artifact he can most easily create is the [Stardust Magic Tool].

It's not surprising, since back in Bo City, Lu Jun had forcibly stuffed Remnant Soul into a damaged Stardust Magic Tool.

With his keen Metal Element- based perception, he discerned the intricate internal structure of the magical artifact, thus outmaneuvering Mu Bai.

"Wait, the core technology that Egypt possessed was so easily cracked by me?"

Lu Jun came to his senses, slightly taken aback. Stardust, Nebula, and Star River Magic Tool were the most profitable Magic Tool series, far surpassing other Demon Slaying Gear, Shield Magic Tool, and Armor Magic Tool.

Only Undead Element are qualified to craft it, and the technology has always been controlled by Egypt internationally.

Because they have a large number of Undead Mage and a long history of research, how can other countries, Undead Element only a handful, compare? To think they could master them is like a pipe dream.

The Undead Empire, also located in the Ancient Capital China, despite its unique advantages, suffers from poor technology, a small number of awakened Magic System users, and is only at the bottom of the raw material collection industry.

Even so, Kyushu High School has benefited greatly, and even Tianlan High School in Bo City has access to Stardust Magic Tool Artifacts.

If Lu Jun can establish a related industry, he will control at least trillions of dollars worth of industry, and he can buy any Heavenly Seed resources at will.

After all, given that a single Commander-level Spirit Essence between hundreds of millions, crafting it into Star River Magic Tool would normally result in a four- or five-fold increase in price under a monopolistic business model.

"Unfortunately, the interests involved are too intertwined; I can't protect them."

"The profits Mo Fan created in the future, even for the small amount of Fan Xue Mountain, have already attracted the covetous eyes of several major families, who have dispatched more than ten Super Rank to participate in the battle and plunder. I'm afraid mine will be even more terrifying. What will happen to the Egyptian forbidden spell? Hmm, I need to think about this carefully."

Lu Jun pondered. He was unwilling to give up this part of the benefits, as the resources for future breakthroughs to Super Rank were truly enormous.

Fortunately, he made great contributions in the Ancient Capital, and the position of honorary councilor can provide some protection at the beginning. He can then gradually overcome the technical challenges and perhaps only face danger when he reaches the Nebula or above.

Furthermore, having seized the Ancient King Armor Robe and with the backing of the Undead Empire, they have countless resources at their disposal, giving them an advantage even greater than Egypt.

"I'll have to wait a bit longer," he thought to himself. The best time would be after he returned from the National Government building, when he could truly fight against Super Rank being, gain widespread fame, and make his position as a councilor well-deserved.

On the Blood Throne of the Abyss of Calamity, Lu Jun consolidated his cultivation for a while, then opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the Ancient King Armor Robe in the distance.

After being sealed and purified using two methods, this substance is now relatively under control.

So he mustered his courage and stepped forward to touch the cold, steel surface of the Ancient King Armor Robe.

Clang! Unexpectedly, a strange change occurred. The black and gold armor disintegrated piece by piece, and countless scales gathered on his body, one by one combining to form a complete suit of armor that clung to his skin. A scarlet cloak fluttered behind him.

In an instant, Lu Jun felt an endless surge of power into his body, accompanied by a profound erosion of Nether Radiance, which severely impacted both his physique and spirit.

A vast expanse of dark, Nether Radiance spread through his Spiritual World, the chilling aura of death threatening to freeze all traces of the living.

The Nebula and starry rivers of the six major Magic System dimmed and crackled, as memories of many Ancient King flooded in.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Lu Jun's head felt like it was about to split open, but he struggled to hold on. As expected of the Death Treasure transformed and precipitated from the Ancient King's own essence, it was still extremely malevolent even after being weakened multiple times.

The First Emperor, a man of great talent and ambition, used the starry sky formed by his own five forbidden spells as material, and refined it through the array of the Abyss of Calamity Tomb to create an artifact to protect his clan.

The energies of space, chaos, and Earth Element have long since dissipated, transforming into the purest form of Psionic Energy.

The Armor Robe was crucial to his strategy and survival; no matter how great the difficulties, his will remained firm, and he was determined to succeed.

Finally, a deafening roar resounded throughout his Spiritual World. Under external pressure, Lu Jun's Mental Power naturally broke through to the [Fifth Realm].

All the previous accumulation of Triple High Level and the Four Elements related to the spiritual domain erupted, allowing him to reach the threshold of the late stage of the fifth realm in one go.

A condensed silver moon rose and fell between Lu Jun's brows, constantly resisting the surrounding Nether Radiance.

At the same time, Ding Yumian's Main Soul, hidden in the Spiritual World, was awakened.

She transformed into a graceful, ethereal Soul Shadow in the pitch-black universe, gazing upon the overwhelming, sun-obscuring Nether Radiance within her soul. Her heart pounded, and she hastily whispered, "I'm here to help you."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Yumian's Mental Power merged with Lu Jun's, causing his Mental Power to rise steadily and temporarily reach the peak of the seventh realm, the level of Heavenly Seed.

"Suppress them!"

Lu Jun's eyes lit up, the White Tiger Pendant around his neck shone, and the platinum pattern seal engraved on the Ancient King Armor Robe gradually took effect.

Before long, a strange sensation arose in his soul, seemingly forming a slight connection with the black and gold armor he was wearing, which was being subtly refined into a second Natal Magic Tool, and he finally managed to suppress it.

Outside, Lu Jun exuded a domineering yet sinister aura, and his White Tiger God Ascension form spontaneously manifested.

His hair instantly turned silver-white, flowing freely, its color contrasting beautifully with the black markings on his forehead and body, resembling the King Character Pattern of a white tiger. His eyes were heterochromatic, one as pure as indigo crystal, the other as deep as a crimson Beads.

At the same time, his body muscles swelled, and a pair of platinum Steel Wings on his back intertwined layer upon layer, creating a magnificent sight. They resembled Sword Wings, flowing with a crystal-clear metallic luster, and their edges shimmered with arc-shaped silver light, making him even more powerful.

Several dark blue Water Stream Ribbon entwined around its torso and limbs, like a divine halo, sacred and inviolable. Within a radius of about ten feet, Silver Light Membrane appeared and disappeared, a dust-free realm.

The six elements were surrounding him, his black and gold armor gleaming, and a red cloak slightly covering the base of his platinum sword wings.

His entire figure appeared majestic and imposing; standing there, he was none other than the Holy Emperor.

Rumble!

Immediately afterwards, an immense and boundless power erupted from Lu Jun's body, turning the world upside down. Like a dark pillar of light reaching the sky, it rose from the altar, pierced through the Abyss of Calamity, and caused a violent tremor.

Chapter 247 I Am the Only One

In the boundless darkness, on the edge of the magnificent altar, two figures struggled to climb.

Suddenly, the dark space shook violently. Zhang Xiaohou and Su Xiaoluo were startled and quickened their pace, finally reaching the top.

Then they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

On the supreme Blood Throne, a majestic Emperor sits, displaying various White Tiger traits. He is shrouded in heavy, imposing black and gold armor, his crimson cloak fluttering in the wind. He wields a golden sword and rides a horse, looking down upon all living beings.

His boundless Nether Radiance illuminated half the sky, and the towering black pillar of light he erected pierced through the top of the Abyss of Calamity space.

"This... is this the Ancient King? He has been resurrected!"

Zhang Xiaohou was utterly horrified and said in a trembling voice.

Su Xiaoluo, standing beside her, turned pale, realizing she was unlikely to escape unscathed.

A moment later, the supreme being slowly stood up, glanced at the two of them, and instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their minds plunging into a nightmare from which they could not extricate themselves.

That's terrifying. It's only because this 'Ancient King' didn't Killing Intent; otherwise, a single glance from him could have been enough to kill the monarch.

Zhan Kong, Zhan Kong could no longer sit still. He hurriedly spread his pure white wings and flew to the student Zhang Xiaohou.

"The head instructor?!"

When Zhang Xiaohou saw the familiar figure blocking his way, he exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Zhan Kong didn't answer, his expression tense as he looked at the 'Ancestor' on the throne, unsure of exactly what the other party was.

At this moment, Lu Jun ignored the others. He felt strange, unlike Zhan Kong in the original story who was corrupted into Living Dead.

That situation was less a transformation into King of Hell and more a puppet of the Ancient King Armor Robe.

Lu Jun, on the other hand, was focused on himself; the Armor Robe was merely a tool, an amplifier. His physical body and spirit were both vibrant and full of Life Aura, which is why the three of them mistook him for a living person.

He closed his eyes and sensed the Spiritual World; the six major Magic System rapidly expanded under the influence of the Nether Radiance.

Temporarily transformed into magnificent, boundless Death Star Universe in shades of dark blue, blackish-red, and dark silver.

Water Element, Metal Element, Curse Element, Mind Element, Space Element, and Summoning System all shine brightly under the Nether Radiance. Water is the water of death, metal is the metal of darkness, and all of them are associated with negative energy.

In the original story, Zhan Kong into Ancient King, and his Wind Element and Curse Element magic undergoes a mutation under the assimilation of Nether Radiance.

The First Emperor's Five Elements did not include the Wind Element. The Ancient King Armor Robe was a pure Death Treasure. When it was applied to the human body, water, wind, and metal were all mere forms; its essence was boundless death power.

Of course, Lu Jun's state cannot last. If he uses it repeatedly, it will have the same side effects as the Demon Mo Fan, or even be more serious, turning him directly into Living Dead like Zhan Kong.

However, not using it doesn't mean we can rest easy. Containing the Ancient King Armor Robe within his body is like installing a time bomb.

The Nether Radiance of the underworld would continuously overflow with energy, decaying the body.

If he hadn't become a forbidden spell before the seal of the Ancient King Armor Robe was destroyed, and hadn't completely refined this massive death energy, then sooner or later he would have suffered the same fate as the Zhan Kong.

It should be noted that Zhan Kong only remained Living Dead for a few years before he had to travel to the Holy City to end his own life.

Lu Jun estimated that his limit was twenty-five years old, and he had to completely digest the Ancient King Armor Robe before that.

And each additional use shortens the time.

It will be like a demon, relentlessly chasing after you, spurring you to become stronger.

"These costs are worthwhile. In the future, I'm guaranteed to have at least Emperor-level combat power, and I can easily defeat seven or eight ordinary Forbidden Spell users."

Lu Jun was full of confidence and did not believe that he would stop at the peak of the Super Rank.

Moreover, his plan was not so simple. The power of the Ancient King of the King of Hell was at its limit that of a low-level Emperor, only one-third of the King of Hell Throne, and not complete.

If one were to successively annex Pharaoh, the Emperor of Egypt, and the Queen of the Royal Gauze Skeleton, one would at least be at the peak of Middle Emperor, or even a ruler.

Once he unifies the Underworld and becomes the sole [King of Hell], wielding the power of death, he can use this as a springboard to explore the Dark Plane, ultimately reaching the form of High Emperor (Rooftop), and perhaps even becoming a god!!

This was Lu Jun's carefully planned strategy; in some ways, he was similar to Wen Tai.

"Human life, even a hundred years, has its limits; a handful of dust remains—how tragic, how pitiful."

Lu Jun sighed and realized that the Magic System he had chosen for his Super Rank could only be undead.

Beneath the throne, Zhan Kong and the other two heard the murmur of the supreme ancient magician, the 'Ancient King,' and their expressions changed slightly. They quickly memorized it, as it was very likely the essence of magic.
