Contracting a Saint Spirit! / Heading to Peru
Lu Jun was startled and dared not hesitate any longer. He depicted Space Element Constellation, which, under the Mermaid of the mermaid monarch, transformed into a starry dome, condensed into beams of light that pierced through the void, transcended, and disappeared from the spot.
In an instant, the sea was filled with a massive tsunami of skeletons, the sky and sea were shrouded in darkness, and Killing Aura surged forth, its demonic power shaking the world.
The millions of skeletons filled the area within a hundred miles like seawater, and even churned violently, being thrown into the sky.
Ultimately, the whole world seemed to be dragged into a hellish abyss, with mountains of bones and seas of remains, a scene that was chilling and suffocatingly despairing!
A towering skeletal giant stands, surrounded by an endless wave of skeletal figures.
Its imposing figure made the Great Monarch appear as thin as infants in comparison, Red Shell Lobster Monarch and the Magic Trench Demon Ghost King to tremble in fear.
If Lu Jun were here, he would probably immediately recall that this iconic ability is none other than the [Skeleton Sea King] who would later shine in the ocean invasion!
Chapter 314 Contract with the Holy Spirit!
Lu Jun was unaware of the strength of the reinforcements that arrived later.
However, it was also speculated that it was probably not an Emperor. According to the telepathic message from the possessed Mermaid, Emperors were all chasing after that Water Lord.
After all, this detachment was only pursuing a monarch; why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
The one arriving may be Great Monarch or Supreme Monarch.
Even so, Lu Jun was unwilling to confront them head-on, to break the seal of the Ancient King Armor Robe and fight them. It would be a losing proposition; rescuing the Mermaid mother and daughter would suffice.
At that moment, he used several short teleports in succession to teleport directly back to the sunny beach in Sydney.
Then all the sacred phenomena surrounding Lu Jun disappeared, the Elemental Spirit left his body, and his boundless and omnipotent power quickly faded away. The feeling of weakness returned, and his body felt empty, leaving him feeling somewhat lost.
Compared to the strength of Monarch Level being, the normal human body is indeed far inferior.
He would need to reach at least two or three Super Rank systems, or master a Heavenly Seed Method, before he could wage war against a legitimate monarch.
Before long, Lu Jun adjusted his mindset. Now he is making rapid progress, and Super Rank is not far away.
He moved swiftly and quietly entered Sydney. The Mermaid mother and daughter were hidden in his Portable Space, their presence silenced.
To be honest, Lu Jun didn't know if the reinforcements from the Sea Demon Empire would directly storm into human society and force their way into international metropolises.
However, given that the headquarters of the Australian Magic Association is located at the Sacred Altar of Kai in Sydney, even Emperor would be severely injured if he were to invade it.
The only fear is that these bureaucratic mages, afraid of sacrifice, will negotiate with the bigwigs of the Sea Demon Empire and hand him over willingly.
In that case, Lu Jun would have no choice but to change his identity, adopt an Emperor demeanor, and unleash a massacre.
He then sat on a park bench in Sydney, quietly awaiting trial.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Jun still hadn't received any news of the Sea Monster attacking Sydney. He guessed, "They must have left."
The Sea Demon Empire probably wasn't prepared for a full-scale invasion of humanity, and to avoid alerting them, they abandoned the area.
Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and went to rent a private swimming pool to let the Mermaid mother and daughter out for some fresh air.
Ring! Ring~
Two melodious and pleasant whispers echoed in my ears; the former was deep and mature, while the latter was magnetic and light.
First, a mermaid with a graceful and voluptuous figure, resembling a beautiful woman, emerged from the water, followed by a smaller, seemingly serious female mermaid.
At this moment, the Mermaid Monarch had returned to normal human Size Change. She looked tired, but forced herself to cheer up and gently murmured her gratitude to him.
Little Water Lord also bowed in thanks.
Lu Jun stopped and asked, "Is everything alright? What are your plans?"
Upon hearing this, the Mermaid Monarch hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh.
The two communicated through telepathy, and Lu Jun immediately understood what the other meant. He frowned slightly and said, "You said you still want to go into the sea to find other members of your clan and help them escape their predicament?"
Lu Jun was not optimistic about this move. Faced with the entire Sea Demon Empire's wanted list, what good was it for the Mermaid clan to have a ruler who was almost Sub-Emperor? They were still like ants, scattering everywhere, and would perish sooner or later.
Furthermore, he smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that if the Mermaid Lord insisted on leaving, then his entire mission would have been a complete waste.
There's no way around it. Both Holy Spirits are free, not his possessions. Does he expect to repay their kindness by offering himself in return?
Besides, Lu Jun took the Water Element Crystal from their nest, so in a sense, he owed them a favor and should be the one making this trip to repay it.
Just when he thought it was hopeless, the mermaid monarch spoke up again, gesturing for the Little Mermaid beside him to stay.
A dramatic turn of events!
Ring~, Little Mermaid Shao Yu couldn't hold back her emotions anymore. Her pretty face looked aggrieved, and she murmured urgently, wanting to follow her mother.
Ring!! The Water Lord Queen is cold and ruthless, stating bluntly that she is a burden. If it weren't for protecting you, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Her Eclipse form possesses unparalleled concealment abilities.
Now Little Water Lord was speechless, and his mentality completely collapsed.
Immediately, the Mermaid Queen suppressed her soft heart and turned to Lu Jun, letting out a long, leisurely sigh.
"What? You mean you want me to form a contract with your daughter?"
Lu Jun was overjoyed; after working so hard for so long, he finally saw that the Intermediate Level Summoning System's Life Contract slot was filled.
I tried Water Lord's abilities before, and they were incredibly powerful. Even if Commander-level Water Lord fused with him, and with the addition of the Northern Darkness Heavy Water and the Water Repelling Pearl, it might be able to directly defeat a regular Super Rank.
Ring! The Mermaid Queen nodded in affirmation. She also knew that the Sea Demon Empire was powerful, and the future of the Mermaid race was bleak. It would be better to cooperate with the humans on land and leave a chance for survival.
Even the Water Element Spirit are different. The River God and the Fairy of the Lake in the rivers and lakes on land are another kind. In terms of combat power, they are clearly inferior to the mermaids who are in the ocean monster room and have mastered the Three Lights Divine Water Mermaid.
Perhaps they can display their skills and continue their lineage.
Moreover, during the process of the Mermaid Monarch possessing Lu Jun, they became kindred spirits, and the mermaid monarch realized that Lu Jun's character was neither good nor bad. Coupled with the debt of gratitude, it was a good choice.
In her view, since humans only live for a hundred years, it's a perfect deal for her daughter to use humans as a stepping stone, growing safely to the top under human protection.
Lu Jun was speechless upon hearing the Mermaid Monarch's words. How come all his Dimensional Summon beasts and Contract Summoning beasts were working for him with the attitude of doing odd jobs, and they were all hoping that he would die in a hundred years?
This is probably the downside of starting with Commander-level Summoned Beast; it's extremely opinionated and independent.
"Hmph, wait until I live to be two hundred or three hundred, then I'll outlive you all."
He had a wicked idea in his mind.
Decades later, the elderly Lu Jun lay on his armchair, on the verge of death. Several Summoned Beast, transformed into baby forms, surrounded him, looking at him with worry and reluctance.
Who knew he would teeter on the brink of collapse year after year? The Summoned Beast's expressions shifted subtly, from worry to blankness, and finally to utter despair.
Lu Jun almost burst out laughing. He composed himself and decided to cultivate diligently, setting a small goal: to outlive the Summoned Beast.
In fact, when his Qi and blood advanced to the Fourth Realm, his inhuman body subtly transformed his physique, and his tenacious vitality showed a hint of Demon Beast signs, seemingly extending his lifespan by twenty or thirty years.
This allowed him to maintain his peak physical condition and live to be over 120 years old before rapidly passing away.
The premise is to avoid suffering too many injuries and exhausting one's energy.
In the pool, under the stern demands of the Mermaid Monarch, the daughter had no choice but to agree, as she also had feelings for Lu Jun.
Whether it was saving her or resolutely accompanying him to save his mother.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lu Jun was thrilled as he described an Intermediate Level Summoning System contract spell.
A moon-white magic circle appeared between the two, and a drop of blood suddenly squeezed out from between their brows, converging at the center of the magic circle before separating and returning to their original brows.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun and the Mermaid felt a deep connection.
Within the Spiritual World, the moon-white Summoning System Nebula rose higher and higher, becoming increasingly stable and profound. In addition to a shadow crown mark, it also acquired a Sun Moon Star Crown mark.
The contract went smoothly!
Chapter 315 Journey to Peru
The moment the contract is successfully signed.
The top-tier Soul Seed they both possessed resonated with each other.
Lu Jun's spirit encompassed the universe, the dark Water Element surging, the Water Repelling Pearl rising and hovering above his head, and a dazzling water ribbon like a starry river flowing between the Mermaid maiden's graceful figure, with the Sun Moon Star Crown gathering on her forehead.
The Mermaid Princess swayed her tail, took the initiative to step forward, and threw herself into Lu Jun's broad chest, reaching out to hug his straight waist, letting out a gentle moan.
Splash!
In an instant, the Mermaid melted like ice cream, and the dazzling Light Water spread from her chest in circles, inch by inch, to Lu Jun's entire body.
In the blink of an eye, his aura rose steadily. He donned the Sun Moon Star Crown, and donned a magnificent Water Sacrifice Robe. The totems of the Great Soul Seed were clearly visible, similar to those when the Mermaid Monarch possessed him, only not as lofty as those of the Great Emperor of the Underworld or the Heavenly Governor of Timely Rain.
Even so, Lu Jun felt as if a vast swamp had been filled within his body, continuously surging forth with water elemental magic energy, and he had complete control over the water vapor permeating the void within a radius of several kilometers. He felt that he could now directly confront a single-elemental Super Rank.
Ring~, the two combined for a while, experimented with various abilities, and then separated.
Currently, the Little Mermaid is far inferior to her mother, only mastering the regular star form, not being proficient in the Solar Flare Form, and her psychic secondary system is just beginning.
Lu Jun was very satisfied. As expected of a relatively mature Commander-level, he didn't need Lu Jun to say anything. With just a thought, Lu Jun would automatically assume various postures to cooperate with Lu Jun's outburst.
Ring ring!!
The Mermaid Monarch adopted a motherly demeanor and earnestly admonished her youngest daughter, saying that when she went to someone else's house, she must listen to her master's words, not be willful, not be obsequious, and serve him carefully.
Upon hearing this, Little Water Lord put on a stern face, nodded humbly, and looked like a submissive little wife.
Lu Jun was overjoyed, knowing that his maternal family would take care of the baby, unlike Mo Fan who had to endure the hardships of raising the child.
Moreover, the Mermaid maiden had experienced a major upheaval in her race and a life of constant displacement, but her determination to become stronger remained unwavering, making her a formidable force.
After giving her instructions, the Water Lord Queen lingered and murmured a long sigh, preparing to depart.
Suddenly, the little mermaid's eyes welled up with tears; she wanted to ask her to stay but didn't know how to say it.
At this moment, Lu Jun suddenly said, "Please wait a moment. It's not a good idea to rush out to sea now. If the Sea Monster army is lying in ambush a thousand miles away, you might be caught immediately."
"Ring~."
Upon hearing this, the Mermaid Monarch pondered, nodded, and murmured in agreement.
Lu Jun suggested, "So why don't you hide in my Portable Space for now, and then I'll take you away by plane, and release you when we get to Peru."
The mermaid queen pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded, acknowledging her agreement.
The Little Mermaid beside her was both surprised and delighted, cheering and jumping for joy, her affection for her master reaching its peak.
Seeing this, Lu Jun smiled without saying a word. Water Lord was now family, and seeing her so upset, he naturally thought of her and wanted to give the mother and daughter some time to say goodbye.
Furthermore, he didn't want the Mermaid Queen to die, so taking her to Peru, far from the core territory of the Sea Demon Empire, would make her more likely to survive.
And there's another matter: if things go as expected, the National Team in Peru is probably in big trouble. If the Holy Spirit of the Monarch were with them, they might be able to handle it.
Lu Jun controlled Xingzi, took the Mermaid into his Contract Space, and even booked a flight to Peru for his mother.
That afternoon, Lu Jun boarded the plane and set off. He didn't need to worry about the Sea Monster Lord flying up in the sky to intercept him.
Firstly, this would anger human nations; secondly, the flight paths and altitudes of magical society's aircraft far exceed those of the technological plane. Unless the Sea Emperor intervenes, the Sea Monster Monarch's flying ability is rather poor.
In the future, military personnel repeatedly sent aircraft to spy on the core of the Sea Demon Empire, in the central Pacific Ocean. (Reconnaissance of the white disaster cloud, rescue of Leader Hua)
Finally, Lu Jun concealed the presence of the Water Element Spirit mother and daughter. With so many flights, the Sea Monster Monarch couldn't determine whether he had left or remained in Sydney.
As expected, the journey was very smooth, and we arrived in Hamit City, Peru.
Lu Jun, Mo Fan, and even the National Team met up.
Upon arriving in Hamit City Peru, the temperature rose sharply, and the landscape transformed into a tropical desert, reminiscent of the northwest corner of Scorching Plains.
"Little Flame Princess, can't you go back to your nest to sleep?"
Mo Fan felt he couldn't go on like this. The weather was unbearably hot, even the wind was hot, and there was a small furnace on his shoulder, making him feel unbearably hot.
Little Flame Princess immediately became unhappy, her aggrieved little eyes seeming to say: Daddy, do you dislike me?
She still really liked this environment; it felt like coming home.
Mo Fan said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I give up, I'll lie down."
At this moment, Lu Jun walked over from a distance, still wearing that black and gold overcoat, exuding a powerful aura. Behind him, a graceful woman in a white robe followed, swaying her hips as she went.
"Long time no see! Aren't you afraid of dying of heat dressed like that? You really prioritize style over warmth!"
Before the person even got close, Mo Fan, from afar, loudly complained.
