Escaping Unscathed / Triangular Dimensional Mirror
In the sixth second, Death God Leng Jue slammed his fist into the waiting hall floor, unleashing terrifying energy that swept outwards in layers of overwhelming storms. The walls, made of special airport materials, crumbled inch by inch, and a deafening roar echoed across the New York sky.
Still shaken, Lu Jun looked out and saw that the entire airport roof had been blown high into the air, tall buildings had collapsed, and more than a dozen planes had been broken and buried as they crashed down. Thick smoke billowed, obscuring the sky and piling up dozens of meters high.
Fortunately, he anticipated that the disturbance would be significant before he took action, and managed to get innocent bystanders to leave in advance.
People still nearby screamed and quickly drove away, not daring to stay in the same spot any longer.
When everything calmed down, a figure in the center, its entire body ablaze with red light, cast a dim light across the sky, standing like Evil God of the apocalypse.
Leng Jue sneered at Lu Jun, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "No matter who you are, hand over the Triangular Dimensional Mirror, and I'll give you an easy way to die."
Boom! Before he could finish speaking, his figure blurred rapidly and disappeared into the airport ruins.
Lu Jun's expression changed drastically; he couldn't catch a glimpse of the Evil God at all.
He felt a strong sense of crisis. Before the Time- Space Element could be completely sealed away by time, he followed his intuition and silently recited 'Rewind'!
Splash!
At this moment, Lu Jun's body blurred like a mosaic, turning into a wisp of light and instantly returning to the position before the [Teleportation] maneuver. A halo of ouroboros symbol flickered around the anchor point in the void.
His figure appeared on the halo, just as the stream of light brushed past the Evil God.
Boom!
Leng Jue's fist landed on empty air, and the immense force shattered the space in this area inch by inch. Countless dark cracks spread across a radius of a thousand meters. From a bird's-eye view, the airport was completely unrecognizable after being destroyed by the void storm.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Jun, who had narrowly escaped death, gasped in shock. Breaking through space was a sign of Monarch Level combat power.
Only by fighting them in person can one truly understand the terror of a monarch, a creature at the top of the food chain.
"You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple!"
Enraged by his repeated failures to kill, the Evil God Leng Jue charged forward again in a frenzy.
"Phasing!"
Without hesitation, Lu Jun used the fifth-level initial stage of Mind Control a second before the Time-Space Element completely dried up. Under the Time Domain, the original Phasing underwent a great change, just like Teleportation.
Originally, Phasing was simply a matter of disappearing into Portable Space, which could be easily broken by Space Element Mage and Monarch-Level Creature.
However, Lu Jun's senses are currently strange, as if he has entered an independent spacetime axis, avoiding all harm and achieving the same effect as Mo Fan's future Shadow Element Phasing.
This type of skill is considered an unsolvable escape technique in combat.
Thump!
Just like now, the moment Lu Jun's figure faded, the raging Evil God missed his punch again. Even if he caused the void within a kilometer radius to collapse, so what? He couldn't reach the enemy.
"Damn it, those horrible bugs."
Leng Jue roared, his figure dancing wildly as he furiously smashed the ruins of the airport. After using his evil technique, his emotions were clearly fluctuating wildly and he couldn't control himself.
Buzz buzz buzz!
After a breath, Lu Jun descended from his transcendent state and reappeared in the same spot. One of the Six Great Star Rivers in his Spiritual World, the dark silver Time-Space Element star river, completely turned into a grayish-white solidified form.
Once the time effect is activated, the Time-Space Element for that day will be temporarily unusable.
"Haha, you finally showed up, you little bug!"
Leng Jue keenly sensed Lu Jun's aura, let out a wild laugh, and this time cautiously used evil magic to test him. His body was covered with densely packed face masks that shot into the sky, and ghosts that blotted out the sky were like dark clouds covering the face.
God Ascension!
Despite the danger, Lu Jun remained fearless, unleashing a vast power within his body. The surrounding space crumbled, his appearance changed drastically, and features such as Sword Wings, a dark crown, and heterochromatic eyes emerged one after another. Furthermore, a water vortex resembling a pitch-black sun hung behind his head.
His vital energy reflected on the horizon, like a crimson cloud, fighting against the dark, malevolent energy on the other side, each occupying half the territory.
"Daydreaming, dissolve!"
When Lu Jun entered the God Ascension State, he held the Heavenly Mandate in his mouth, activated the Imagination Domain, and unleashed a different kind of great power.
The ghostly faces formed by evil beliefs entered the holy and tranquil blue-white Sea of Light, and immediately hissed and were completely neutralized.
The Evil God Leng Jue was greatly surprised, but it was not afraid and relentlessly pursued the culprit who had stolen the Triangular Dimensional Mirror.
Lu Jun simply didn't want to continue fighting. The Red Demon, the leader of the Lead Conductor, was watching them menacingly, and he was no match for the two of them for the time being. It was best for him to retreat unscathed.
"Hey, little dog, catch!"
Suddenly, Leng Jue saw the mysterious being in the distance casually toss a ball of silver light, carrying a dimensional mirror, which shot out and disappeared in an instant, landing thousands of miles away.
Chapter 358 A Complete Escape
Leng Jue's eyes instantly turned bloodshot with rage.
It first glanced at Lu Jun in mid-air, then looked at the rapidly receding Triangular Dimensional Mirror that was about to disappear from sight, and finally let out a low roar, its body swaying as it transformed into a shooting star and chased after the silver ball of light.
Only a Killing Intent voice echoed in the void, "Freedom Temple, I admit defeat this time, but I will repay you handsomely in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun smiled and deliberately mocked, "So-called Cardinal are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of my great American Empire! Would they dare to steal anything?"
After drawing all the hatred into the Freedom Temple, he didn't hesitate. He tore open Void Channel, his body bursting with dazzling Silver Light. He took a step and disappeared into the depths of the dark rift, his whereabouts unknown.
When God Ascension State, the gray Time-Space Element star system returned to normal, and his Space Teleportation ability was greatly enhanced. He could easily move several kilometers, and after a few times, he shook off the Red Demon's pursuit and returned to his original form, disappearing into the vast sea of people in the city.
All traces were completely covered up.
Walking down the bustling, upscale commercial streets of New York, Lu Jun's imposing aura subsided, the fiery blood flowing through his body slowed down, and he looked like a normal, energetic young man.
Reflecting on his experience in the White Tiger form, he discovered a bug: the Time-Space Element's Time can be used twice a day, simply by God Ascension to refresh the state.
Furthermore, a smile appeared on Lu Jun's lips, and a crystal-clear triangular prism appeared in his hand before disappearing into his Portable Space. In a fleeting glance, it was none other than the supreme treasure of Dimensional Magic, the [Triangular Dimensional Mirror]!
So... what was that prism he just threw out?
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Evil God Leng Jue chased for a long time before finally catching up with the silver ball of light. The main reason was that the person had cast Space Magic on this thing, and it would automatically jump when it was about to catch up, dodging several times.
It took Leng Jue quite a bit of effort to catch him, and he was glad he hadn't chosen to fight that 'Freedom Temple' mage head-on.
If the Dimensional Mirror were to fall into some remote, remote place, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack; you'd never find it in your entire life.
Just as Leng Jue was full of anticipation as he dissected the silver spatial power, he saw a magnificent prism appear, with the exact same aura.
But the Cardinal flew into a rage, crushing the 'Triangular Dimensional Mirror' with his bare hand. With a crash, the glass shattered, scattering into shimmering specks of light that dissipated into the air.
This dimensional mirror is fake; it's just a beautifully crafted empty shell, containing no immense power whatsoever.
"Damn it, Freedom Temple!"
Leng Jue roared and howled, unleashing a storm of Evil God that swept across several kilometers, shocking the nearby residents.
Before he could vent his anger, countless black and gold specks of light rapidly approached from the sky. The mages of the Freedom Temple descended, accompanied by several terrifying auras; they were Great Mage at the Super Rank of cultivation.
From the horizon, someone shouted, "Come quickly! The murderers from the Black Vatican haven't gone far!"
Don't think the Magic Association was slow to react. In fact, the fight between Lu Jun and Leng Jue only lasted a few dozen seconds. High-level matches are extremely fast-paced, and the outcome was decided in an instant.
Seeing this, Leng Jue had no choice but to turn and flee. Frustrated, he realized that escaping America through the airport was no longer an option. He had to hide from his pursuers on the vast plains and flee all the way to Mexico.
He was furious and powerless. What a bad day! A random passerby treated him like a son, patting his head and pinching his cheeks. Then, the Triangular Dimensional Mirror he had finally gotten his hands on was snatched away. It was unbearable.
However, compared to the loss of the Dimensional Mirror, a priceless treasure crucial to the grand plan, being tricked by others is a minor matter.
Leng Jue only wanted to find and kill that free-spirited mage.
Just as Leng Jue was being chased, Lu Jun seemed to sense something was amiss. One by one, sorcerers appeared on the nearby streets, urging pedestrians to hurry home, and the entire city of New York was on alert.
"He should have discovered the fake one."
Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought. In his God Ascension State, his Power of Imagination also sublimated, allowing him to create things out of thin air. Even illusory objects could temporarily leave the domain without immediately dissipating.
So he used this trick to fool Leng Jue.
"Indeed, they not only outsmarted Leng Jue but also got their hands on the item, and they've really put the Freedom Temple in the spotlight."
Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction, not afraid of the other party causing him trouble at all, as the difference between his real self and his disguise was too great.
The former is known worldwide for its three elements: water, curses, and summoning; the latter is known worldwide for its mysterious dual elements of mind and space, with its Time Domain unique.
Furthermore, he deliberately faced the battle in his normal state to test his current combat strength. Surprisingly, he was able to exchange three or four moves with Mid-level Monarch, which means he could easily escape from a top -Super Rank expert.
It will be at least a year before Leng Jue gets rid of his troubles. Given his growth rate, he will be able to kill Leng Jue in no time. If that doesn't work, he can use the Time-Space Liquid and the Ancient King Armor Robe.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this time I've been constantly scapegoating the Freedom Temple. Will it cause Leng Jue to turn around and come to New York to cause trouble, instead of the Original Timeline Kyushu?"
Lu Jun was quite interested, after all, the original work explained that Leng Jue's trip to China was partly at Salang's instruction and partly out of spite, wanting to compete with Salang to see who was more worthy of the title of Death God.
Ironically, because he killed Salang, the disaster in the Ancient Capital was greatly mitigated, and he was even regarded as a disgrace by the Black Vatican. The only Cardinal in history to die was him, and the cause of his death remains unclear to this day.
Leng Jue had no reason to go to China; on the contrary, he was very motivated to have a battle in New York.
Anyway, since Salang's death, the butterfly effect has started, various characters have changed, and with Lu Jun's interception of Leng Jue in New York, the direction has become even more unclear.
However, after his trip to Peru, Lu Jun's cultivation level improved. He shouldered the inheritance of an empire and cultivated top-level techniques. His perspective and attitude were elevated to a new level. He was not afraid of any unfamiliar challenges and was confident that he could deliver a perfect performance in any changing situation.
He knew that as his level rose and he became more involved in events, he would inevitably disrupt many predetermined plots, and fate would become unpredictable once again. No one could control the whole situation forever, and no one was an exception.
What an individual can do is accumulate enough strength beforehand, coalescing into a giant ship that can shelter from the wind and rain, cut through the waves, and sail forward to meet all challenges.
He has done a good enough job in this regard.
At the same time, Lu Jun was also very curious: now that he had taken the Triangular Dimensional Mirror, what method would Leng Jue use to summon the Pharaoh Pyramid?
"Triangular Chaos Mirror?"
Lu Jun pondered, recalling the treasure that had been passed down in Egypt and the world.
It is said to have been mastered by an ancient Egyptian woman named Kong Si, who used it to refract the light projected onto the Mortal World by the Nether God underworld. It is also the source of the mirage disasters and the flourishing of Undead Magic in Egypt.
Unfortunately, it was just a replica of the Triangular Dimensional Mirror; Leng Jue preferred to obtain the genuine article.
Now that he's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, having stolen the genuine product, will the other party produce a cheaper substitute?
Chapter 359 Triangular Dimensional Mirror
Lu Jun didn't know that the Triangular Chaos Mirror might not work, as it had limitations on distance and the upper limit of projection power.
Fortunately, during the previous battle, he had secretly imprinted a time mark on Leng Jue, and with the help of the Thousand Mile Soul Lock, no action could escape his eyes.
Therefore, the so-called finding the murderer and secretly taking revenge is a joke. He was treated the same as Wu Ku, and his actions were completely exposed.
He planned to deal with these two powerful figures from the Black Vatican after the National Prefecture War was over, when his cultivation level would have increased and he would have sufficient strength.
In addition, Lu Jun harbored another bold idea: Leng Jue was a man of many tricks and methods; having lost the Triangular Dimensional Mirror, he must be eager to find a new treasure to replace it.
He would then continue to follow behind the other party, and then seize the opportunity to steal the treasure.
There's no way around it; Lu Jun has gotten hooked on this New York operation. The Five Continents Magic Association have a lot of treasures stored up, but his status makes it difficult for him to get them. If he could team up with Leng Jue, it would be a win-win situation.
Leng Jue: Hey! That's enough! Do you think I'm your treasure hunter?
At this moment, Lu Jun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it later." As he walked towards the Freedom Temple's headquarters, he began to examine his new toy, the [Triangular Dimensional Mirror].
Then he discovered that he couldn't activate this treasure with his cultivation level, because the prism only received magical energy from Dimensional Magic, and only emitted a faint glow when infused with Space Element or Summoning System energy.
That was all. The Triangular Dimensional Mirror was like an invincible black hole. It had almost poured in most of the magical energy of the two great galaxies, and a small part of the glowing patterns spreading across its surface appeared.
"Looks like I haven't reached the Super Rank, so I can't use it."
Lu Jun was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was very excited and overjoyed. The more demanding the conditions for use, the stronger the treasure's power, similar to Totem Vessel.
Meanwhile, his tinkering wasn't without its rewards; he made a preliminary assessment of some of the Dimensional Mirror's properties.
As its name suggests, the Triangular Dimensional Mirror is a crystal Glass Mirror resembling a Triangular Prism, shimmering with beautiful, colorful light.
A prism, most commonly seen in physics laboratories in the past, was used to explain the principle of light refraction.
Its three mirrors represent the three Dimensional Magic systems: Summoning System, Chaos Element, and Space Element. According to Pharaoh Pyramid Leng Jue Giza from thousands of miles away and turn mirages into reality, it relates to these three aspects.
Each time a different type of magical energy is injected, the corresponding mirror will shine with a corresponding radiance.
For example, the Triangular Dimensional Mirror in Lu Jun's hand has two mirror surfaces that emit light, one moon white and the other pure silver.
He suspected that only by gathering Summoning System, Chaos Element, and Space Element magical energy could he fully unlock the supreme mystery of this treasure and unleash its boundless power.
This seems to be a perfect fit for mages who possess all three elements simultaneously, such as Heidi is unique in her talent for Dimensional Magic.
