The Dark Coral Reef Demon Beast / The Metal Element Renders Service

Huh? Where did my big, Bei Jiang go?

He urged the Assassin Hall to expedite the order, but received no response whatsoever.

Helpless, Wu Ku could only wait patiently.

Lu Jun also admired the old monk. He remained unmoved in Peru, methodically advancing Salang's plan. He figured that after assassinating him once, he wouldn't risk sending someone a second time.

Secondly, regarding the Blue Bat, who was of interest, upon returning to Europe, he unsurprisingly continued to seek various methods to break free from the Mind Imprisonment he had placed upon her soul, but so far without success.

However, Lu Jun became wary and felt a sense of crisis. For safety's sake, he planned to meet with Blue Bat upon arriving at their final destination Venice, to reinforce the barrier.

After all, his trip to Peru greatly enhanced his abilities in Curse Element and Mind Element, and he also mastered top-tier techniques, making his strength a complete transformation.

If another restriction is set up, even Super Rank mental powerhouse wouldn't dare to easily break it.

According to the National Team's itinerary, it was exactly one lap around the planet.

Lu Jun pondered for a moment, then looked at the revitalized Mermaid Holy Spirit, and finally the Mermaid Monarch, who was hiding and trying to help his people, and was temporarily safe.

This time, he took the Mermaid maiden with him into the sea to give her something to do and change her mood.

Ring~, the Mermaid Princess's delicate face tensed, her two slender white arms were raised, her delicate hands clenched into fists, as if she were ready.

Lu Jun nodded, several jet-black Water Stream Ribbon intertwined around his body, covered by a black dragon and Illusion Scales, with a bright blue Water Repelling Pearl floating above his head, providing level five Water Shield.

On the beach, the two stepped into the deep sea, the water rising from their ankles to their chests, until their heads were completely submerged.

Someone spotted them and immediately shouted, "Hey, you two...!"

The others had been secretly watching the handsome man and beautiful woman, marveling at how well they matched, assuming they were just a young couple having fun, and secretly envying them. Little did they know that the next moment they would jump into the sea.

Just as everyone rushed forward to prepare a rescue, the Tide swept in, and a thick fog suddenly rose from the sea. It disappeared in an instant, and the two had already vanished without a trace.

The vast ocean, with its countless waves rolling eternally, is serene and timeless, leaving only the bewildered onlookers.

Subsequently, numerous rumors and legends circulated in this coastal area, weaving a tragic love story about Mermaid and a wealthy young master... which was passed down by local residents to passing travelers and has endured for a long time.

Lu Jun was unaware of the commotion he had caused; all he could say was that it had the feel of an old European Andersen fairy tale.

Glug glug!

At this moment, Lu Jun Mermaid Holy Spirit quickly dived into the sea. They were like fish in water in the underwater environment, and their water escape speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they were thousands of miles away.

This naval combat capability alone is infinitely better than hiring any professional team.

The deep sea has immense pressure and is pitch black, creating a sense of oppression.

But Lu Jun glanced at his Summoned Beast, the Mermaid, beside him. Her graceful body moved skillfully in the seawater, her long, dazzling fish tail creating small waves. Sometimes she would raise her exquisite buttocks, and sometimes she would sway her small waist. It was indeed pleasing to the eye and dispelled fear.

After a moment, he came to his senses and silently thought that a person could be a dog, but not a human being.

Roar! Hiss! Hiss!

As the two ventured deep into the Atlantic Ocean, far from the coastline where human activity was taking place, they immediately encountered numerous traces of Sea Monster, ranging from giant beasts to lesser creatures, encompassing leaders, warriors, and servants.

Before capturing the Four-Colored Demon, Lu Jun did not want to have unnecessary conflicts with the minor monsters.

Moreover, the Sea Monster would swarm and attack as soon as they smelled blood.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Fortunately, once Lu Jun released his Mind Invisibility, he also Borrowed Magic the Shadow Element of the Night Thunder Dream Beast to completely conceal his aura and remained unharmed.

The Mermaid Holy Spirit on the other side is no ordinary creature either; her entire body overflows with a hazy, dark liquid as she switches to lunar eclipse mode!

Chapter 362 Dark Coral Reef Demon Beast

The Mermaid maiden's Eclipse Holy Water enveloped her, blending perfectly with the surrounding water environment, concealing her like the bright moon hidden beneath night clouds.

Seeing this, Lu Jun nodded. After being promoted to Intermediate Commander, the extra control he gained over the Eclipse Holy Water not only laid a solid foundation for his future ascension to the Emperor, but also gave him combat abilities superior to those of other holy spirits of his race.

Just like the difference between a national-level mage and a general mage, there are also Demon Beast and ordinary demons. Which giant who ascends to the Emperor wasn't invincible in his childhood?

The two concealed themselves and easily arrived at the sea area indicated by the Hunter's Alliance's intelligence.

At this moment, Lu Jun had already sunk to the seabed thousands of meters below the surface. He glimpsed a thick seabed that was a continuous, pitch-black forest, with its branches twisted like ghostly hands, looking quite eerie and terrifying, covering an area of several kilometers in radius.

When they arrived at the nearby sea, there was no trace of Sea Monster within a hundred miles, indicating that the hunting range of the deep underwater forest in front of them was extremely wide and dangerous.

As for how the informant navigated the perilous seas to find this place...

There's no doubt about that. There are countless mages and extraordinary individuals in the world. Some people even contract with a water worm mother, which can spawn countless offspring worms. Their life energy level is negligible, but their advantage lies in their concealment, making them easy to find.

"However, is this the Four-Colored Demon?"

Seeing this, Lu Jun looked at the underwater black forest with surprise and thought to himself strangely.

This scene is completely inconsistent with the image of the scientific name. He thought the Four-Colored Demon was an animal Demon Beast, or even a seafood Demon Beast with multicolored skin. The image is far from what he expected.

Regardless, he'll test the waters first. He possesses the ability to teleport using Time-Space Element Teleportation, so even if he's surrounded, he can still break through.

Lu Jun closed his eyes and sensed that the Black Forest was a composite of a Demon Horde. Although their auras were very similar, the cultivation levels of each ghost tree were slightly different.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred... a total of seven hundred warriors, led by three commanders.

If an entire high-level squad were to get caught in it, they would surely die.

Lu Jun was not afraid. Back in the Ancient Capital, he and his sister had fought against a legion of three hundred Ghost General. Now, with his strength greatly enhanced, he was more than capable of contending with such Demon Horde.

Moreover, he wished for as many as possible, since the crystals of the Four-Colored Demon were consumables, and the more there were, the greater the margin for error in experimental research.

Splash!

Therefore, Lu Jun did not hesitate and merged with the Mermaid Holy Spirit to strike first.

He seemed to have condensed into a humanoid liquid, his entire body shimmering with starlight, wearing a deep blue priest's robe, with a crown of sun, moon and stars on his head, surrounded by rings of dark water, and overflowing with abundant water vapor.

The two top-tier Soul Seed, Northern Darkness Heavy Water and Three Lights Divine Water, were combined into one.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun unleashed a powerful punch, the Violent Waves · Sky River Dive. Two-colored rays of light illuminated half of the sea, and seawater swirled around him, forming a massive vortex. Water elements from several kilometers in radius surged forth, and a black starlight waterfall descended from the sky, carrying immense force.

The Heavenly River, hundreds of feet deep, is completely different from ordinary seawater. Every drop is filled with a heavy feeling, condensed dozens of times, and contains terrifying Yin power to corrode it. If you look closely, you can also see tiny, shimmering dots in the dark Heavenly River.

Rumble!

The Storm Wave crashed down, seemingly underwater, yet unlike the confluence of streams and rivers, they resembled a collapsing mountain, crashing heavily into the surrounding deep sea. The extremely high pressure on the seabed stirred up violent Tide, spreading with overwhelming force over a radius of hundreds of miles.

In the central Black Forest area, which stretches for several kilometers, a deafening roar resounded, carving a terrifying trench in the seabed and uprooting countless massive rocks and soil layers, sending shockwaves through the area.

Along the way, one after another, the grotesque ancient trees were uprooted, and the rolling waves destroyed and broke off the branches and leaves of the tall trees, which were over ten meters high, and dissolved into the pitch-black, yin water.

But that's not all. Countless shimmering points of light hidden in the dark Milky Way burst into dazzling brilliance, their reflections on the seabed resembling Van Gogh's Starry Night painting—deep blue with a beautiful and dreamlike quality, yet containing the most deadly Killing Intent.

Boom! Boom!

The brilliance of exploding stars shone brightly in the Black Forest, and the double damage destroyed part of the vegetation; this was the stellar explosion characteristic of the Three Lights Divine Water.

Lu Jun, enveloped in a surge of water vapor, transformed into Elemental Spirit. He unleashed a second Storm Wave, the Tide overlapping, and a colossal black dragon roared forth from the seabed, sweeping away all enemies. The billowing smoke that had just risen from the seabed was instantly dispersed.

This time, however, the Four-Colored Demon, resembling a dark forest at the bottom of the sea, finally realized what was happening.

Roar!

The roars of beasts echoed across the seabed. Those twisted, ghostly trees were actually strange Demon Beast, resembling both animals and plants. Their backs, trunks, and limbs were covered with coral-like branches, and they moved slowly, their bodies heavy.

At this moment, the area suddenly became brightly colored. The originally black 'tree branches' of the Four-Colored Demon were now illuminated by blue, white, yellow, and black light, and the overflowing blood was also a dazzling four-colored blood. In an instant, the area transformed from a demonic realm into a dreamlike underwater fairyland.

As the raging black dragon Sky River Dive, the blue and black light emanating from the Four-Colored Demon Clan extinguished, leaving only the dim yellow of the earth element and the icy white of the ice element, which became increasingly dazzling. Eventually, they merged into one, presenting a warm yellow light that reflected as a magnificent Sea of Light.

Click, click!

Beneath the golden sky, combining the hardness of ice and the vastness of earth, a thin film of light, resilient and indestructible, remained undisturbed even by the Storm Wave.

Lu Jun snorted coldly, his every move as graceful as the water god Gonggong, his strength capable of uprooting mountains and his aura overwhelming the world, stirring up the turbid seabed, and causing one magnificent waterfall after another to crash down, with the earth's crust trembling continuously.

No matter how he bombarded it, even with more than twenty Storm Wave stacked up, the 'Tide' effect, which gave it the performance of a high-level peak Pseudo-Cataclysmic Water Roar, still couldn't shake that layer of shimmering yellow light membrane.

"Is this the power of Fusion Magic?"

Lu Jun continuously activated his magical energy, causing his Spiritual World to tremble violently. He had to catch his breath, and looking at the scene before him, he muttered to himself with a solemn expression.

Although this defense was jointly cast by hundreds of warriors and three Demon Beast leaders, its Fusion Magic combining ice and rock cannot be ignored.

He could tell that the aura of a single Four-Colored Demon was only that of an ordinary warrior, but when it used Fusion Magic, it directly reached the Great General of a top-tier warrior. The fusion of ice and rock was equivalent to half a High-level Magic.

The combined power of hundreds of semi-high-level defensive spells is so formidable that even Super Rank would find it difficult to withstand!

This is a legion-level technique.

Lu Jun fought for a long time, using the strongest Water Element in group battles and naval warfare, but all he achieved was to crush the twenty-odd Four-Colored Demon generals during the initial sneak attack.

Hiss!

The vibrant, multicolored forest below seemed to sense that the enemy was not strong enough. The leading Four-Colored Demon shrieked, and the continuous pale Sea of Light, slowly receding.

Immediately, like the rising and setting of the sun and moon, other black and blue hues rose up, the shadows and Water Element blending perfectly together to form a deep, tranquil sea of pale black mist.

Chapter 363 Metal Element's Meritorious Service

Seeing this, Lu Jun's expression shifted slightly, and he changed his tactics again!

Although this tranquil, suspended Sea of Mist is well-concealed and shows no outward signs of activity, it is definitely not simple.

Fusion Magic is unprecedented; each type is extremely bizarre, transcending the established magical framework and defying normal logic.

Just like the ice and rock Light Screen we just saw, it seemed indestructible at first glance, but perhaps if we find the weakness and the trick, it would actually be quite easy to break through?

Splash!

Suddenly, the vast, dark Sea of Mist. The dark fog was insoluble in water, appearing so out of place even in the deep sea.

Lu Jun's expression hardened, and a vast expanse of watery light emanated from his body. The scattered magical elemental power from all directions converged, and his aura rose steadily. With a punch, the Tide overlapped, and a vast, dark tsunami shook the sea.

But when the pale Sea of Mist and the pitch-black tsunami collided, the earth-shattering scene that I had imagined did not occur.

That thin, pale Sea of Mist seemed to exist in another dimension, ethereal and elusive, passing directly through the roaring tsunami. The two briefly overlapped before brushing past each other.

Rumble!

The Storm Waves, carrying billions of tons of heavy water from the Northern Sea, crashed onto the vast seabed, instantly shattering large swathes of rock, which dissolved completely in the water.

Meanwhile, Lu Jun was caught off guard by the overwhelming Sea of Mist shadowy fog.

Fortunately, he had developed the habit of stacking shields before battle. Magnificent Light Water suddenly shot into the sky around him, intertwining to form a dazzling starry sky. The water cage composed of ninety-nine water pillars protected him.

Water Element Level 2 Water Magic [Northern Darkness Heavy Water - Water Glory Sky Curtain - Prison]!

Unexpectedly, the large amount of light black water mist completely ignored the steel-like defense and seeped into the water prison. Even the innermost silver Air Shield that Yin Mind Control could not stop it.

Lu Jun was taken aback and was forced to use his body to withstand this deadly attack.

Bear! Bear! Bear!

At the critical moment, a Water Repelling Pearl with shimmering light hovered above Lu Jun's head, dripping thousands of wisps of water vapor that isolated most of the vast black fog. This artifact could immunize against Water Element magic attacks below the high level.

Originally it was quiet and unassuming, but as its cultivation level increased, the effects became increasingly abnormal.

The Fusion Magic shadow and water is ultimately imbued with some of the properties of water, and can naturally be exempted by the Water Repelling Pearl.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun's physique, Fourth Realm of Qi and Blood, was revealed. A magnificent and condensed crimson glow soared into the sky, his skin shimmered with an immortal luster, outlining the texture of his meridians, and a domineering Ghost God Dharma Image rose up behind him with a roar.

The remaining small portion of the shadowy mist impacted the body surface, but was completely resisted.

Sizzle!

Lu Jun was enveloped by wisps of light black mist, and instantly felt a chilling, Shadow Element aura that corroded his body and soul, freezing him in place.

But his precious blood, flowing through his limbs and bones like a roaring river, shone brightly, eroding and dispersing all the shadows, leaving him unharmed.

The next second, enduring the pain, he controlled the constellation and Teleportation hundreds of meters away, escaping the range of the light black mist.

After several teleportations, Lu Jun finally got a chance to catch his breath. He looked at the Four-Colored Demon with a surprised expression. This kind of shadow water that penetrated the defense was indeed strange. The Phasing of Time-Space Element could not be resisted even without the support of the Time Domain.

Rumble!

Moments later, the Four-Colored Demon Clan once again unleashed a massive attack, riding on a torrent of dark, misty water.

Lu Jun fought a great battle against them, single-handedly confronting a group of hundreds of warriors. His figure sometimes dodged and weaved, and sometimes attacked and fought back.

However, the latter's effect was mediocre; whenever the Four-Colored Demon Clan activated the Ice-Rock Fusion Magic, they were practically immune to all magic.
