The Scorpion Monarch Falls / Harvesting Souls, Collecting Corpses

It's important to know that any magical metal contains some properties of other elements.

Take Dragon Pattern Nether Gold for example, which possesses certain characteristics of death. Another example is the other two types of Flying Feather Gold and Void Copper that Dean Xiao chose for him, which are a mixture of Space Element and Chaos Element energies.

Only the Tai Bai Geng Xin metal is pure and flawless, secretly embodying the essence of the Metal Element.

Soon, Dai Wen instructed his subordinates to fetch the atlas and land deeds of the African mines and hand them over directly.

Just as Lu Jun was waiting patiently, he unexpectedly saw a monk quickly approach from outside and whisper something to Dai Wen.

Dai Wen's expression immediately changed, and he said to Lu Jun in a serious tone, "There's bad news. The White Grinding Fine Gold mine has run into a problem; it's been taken over by a tribe of viper Demon Beast. The original city has been shut down, and they've retreated to the Cape of Good Hope."

"I'm really sorry, but could you please wait a while so we can free up our resources to deal with the rioting Scorpion Snake Clan before handing it over to you?"

Honestly, Dai Wen's approach was very fair and responsible. Most people have already transferred their assets to him, so it's none of his business if any problems arise.

Lu Jun frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart, and asked, "I need it urgently, so how long will it take you to wipe out the Scorpion Snake Clan?"

After a moment of silence, Dai Wen replied, "I don't know. The situation on the African continent is complicated right now. The Pharaoh Undead Empire is reviving, the struggle for the Serpent Scorpion's successor continues, the Sahara is expanding, and more Emperor are involved."

"The Cape of Good Hope Association is short-handed, so it will selectively abandon these minor matters and consider retaking them only after the unrest has subsided."

Lu Jun understood that, especially with a less desirable mineral vein like Tai Bai Xin Jin, it might be at the bottom of the recovery sequence.

"Never mind." He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Just how powerful is the Serpent Scorpion Tribe that occupies the White Grinding Fine Gold?"

Dai Wen seemed to have guessed what Lu Jun was planning to do, and shook his head, saying, "There is a possible Monarch Level Little Scorpion Queen with a hundred thousand scorpion monsters under her command. Don't even think about taking her unless you have five or six Super Rank mages."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun thought for a moment and then said, "Give me the location of the mine, and I'll go get it myself."

Upon hearing this, Dai Wen hesitated, but ultimately said nothing. He had already warned him beforehand that he should bear the consequences himself.

Of course, Lu Jun did not forget to demand compensation from the African Magic Association. The Cape of Good Hope did not drag things out for too long. It was happy that a Super Rank mage was willing to hunt down a monarch-level demon and would give two or three hundred million in cleanup fees.

At noon, Lu Jun returned to his room, and his sister Lu Mei asked, "How did it go?"

He explained the whole story, and the two women had no objections. They knew Lu Jun's strength well; the monarch had killed more than one, and conquering a Serpent Scorpion tribe would be no problem for him.

Lu Jun was also itching to get his hands dirty. Apart from the Nether Snake Undead Monarch, the Undead Space was still empty. He continued to refine fresh corpses into undead supplies, including the essence in the White Tiger Pendant, which was almost depleted and urgently needed to be replenished.

The three packed their things, left the city, and headed straight for the Tai Bai Xin Jin mine.

This small mineral vein is not far from the Cape of Good Hope, just a hundred miles away.

When Lu Jun and his two companions arrived above the Taibai Xinjin mining area, they looked down at the barren, yellow ground.

Suddenly, one could see scorpion monsters either lazily sunbathing on the undulating hillside or burrowing into the shady side of the mountaintop, intertwining in a mating frenzy, densely packed and covering an area of several kilometers.

The density was enough to make someone vomit.

Suddenly, Jun Yaojin pointed ahead and said, "Look at the mountaintop, it's Scorpion Lord Medusa!"

Lu Jun and her brother glanced over and saw a tall, beautiful statue standing atop the mountain. Its lower body was that of a massive, reddish-brown scorpion, while its upper body was that of a mature human woman with a charming and alluring face and a full, beautiful figure.

Only the woman's hair, composed of writhing and dancing venomous pythons, revealed her inhuman identity. Each snake was over ten meters long, and the hundreds of snake heads were ferocious and terrifying, flying around.

This Scorpion Lord Medusa, was several tens of meters tall, with a heavy and imposing presence. Standing atop the mountain, the sunlight shone brightly on its fine scales, making it appear as majestic as a queen.

Lu Mei said in a low voice, "He looks stronger than the Jiehai Sea Snake Lord."

Medusa was unaware of them and remained soundly asleep.

Enveloped in a hazy, azure light, Lu Jun and his companions, with their combined Imagination Domain and the Level Five Intermediate Magic Mind Invisibility, and relying on their Spiritual Heavenly Realm cultivation, moved with impunity, making them virtually invincible to anyone below the Emperor level.

Even Medusa and the ghosts, who were most skilled in mind magic, were no exception.

"Let's finish this quickly; I'll deal with Scorpion Monarch."

Lu Jun said in a deep voice, his hands moving swiftly as he drew constellations. Behind him, a moon-white door appeared, and a beast tide of more than three hundred warriors and two or three commanders surged out, filling the sky in a mighty torrent.

He activated the Spirit Carving Method, summoning the Wind Flame Thunder Vulture this time. The giant bird spread its wings, its body surrounded by crimson flames, swirling with azure whirlwinds, and flashing with lightning, floating in the sky like a large patch of tri-colored clouds.

The nemesis of the scorpion monster is the giant bird Demon Beast; birds can devour snakes as easily as eating spicy snacks.

That wasn't all. With One Thought Constellation, Lu Jun unleashed a high-level Curse Element Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net. The Netherworld Opens above his head, and two enormous Ghost Shadow emerged, standing beneath the dome.

Finally, he didn't even leave out Summoning System Dimensional Summon and Contract Summoning, with Night Thunder Dream Beast and Mermaid Holy Spirit making their appearances.

It even opened the Undead Space, where a thick bloody picture intertwined in the void, and amidst the surging bloody light soaring into the sky, the majestic black serpent body fell down, heading straight for the mountaintop.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Jun summoned a horde of henchmen with his three-elemental magic, filling the sky and the ground, not far from the realm of one man forming an army.

Roar!

The light of the mind, veiled in mid-air, peered in; terrifying roars shook the Taibai Mining Area; countless enemies suddenly burst forth from the corners of their positions, forming a wild torrent that attacked the Serpent Scorpion tribe entrenched in the mountains.

A bloody battle is about to break out.

Chapter 448 Scorpion Monarch Dies

Buzz buzz buzz!

In the void, Lu Jun, wielding the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword, flickered into thin air the instant his Mind Invisibility failed, silver fragments drifted down, and a faint silver array disappeared.

Time-Space Element [Teleportation] Level 2!

He led a large group of Summoned Beast directly to the vicinity of Scorpion Lord Medusa on the mountaintop, aiming to capture the leader first!

All of this happened so suddenly; Queen Medusa never expected that someone could overcome the numerous obstacles of her 100,000-strong army of serpents and scorpions to reach her.

Scorpion Lord Medusa, opened her beautiful eyes atop the mountain, a dazzling white-gold sword light flashed in her peripheral vision, stinging her eyes. Just as she was about to make a move, time seemed to freeze.

Lu Jun moved like a dragon, becoming one with his sword, stepping into the void, his sword soaring like an immortal, aimed directly at the brow of Medusa Monarch.

The Time Domain unfolded. Although his cultivation in the Time-Space Element was only at the High-level Two, with the support of the Spiritual Heavenly Realm, it was enough to freeze Medusa for two or three seconds.

That much skill was enough to deliver a fatal blow to Medusa.

Unfortunately, Lu Jun underestimated the [orthodox monarch's] ability to survive. If the person currently immobilized were a human Super Rank expert without special Supernatural Power, they would surely die.

The Medusa monarch had already opened her eyes, her beautiful pupils spontaneously radiating a grayish-white cursed glow, fanning out and covering most of the area in front of her.

Lu Jun's figure was submerged in the gray and white light and shadow, as if he had been reduced to a strange black and white image world.

In the original story, Mother of Medusa is resurrected as a ghost, and with the opening and closing of her cursed eye, she petrifies the entire Cairo City, which can only be unfurled by the [Eye of Time and Space].

This indicates that Medusa's Eye can subtly contend with the power of spacetime. As a direct descendant, Scorpion Lord Medusa used the most primal power of her bloodline to fight against the half-baked Time-Space Element, which naturally shook the solidification of spacetime.

Waaaaah!

Under the pale gray glow of the sunset, the dark silver Light Screen on all sides were collapsing.

Lu Jun felt an immense resistance coming from him, and from the tip of the Tai'a Divine Sword in his hand, a wisp of grayish-white stone material began to emerge, attempting to expand inch by inch.

Hmph! His eyes shone with silver light, and his vast Mental Power overflowed as he forcefully stabilized the Time Domain. At the same time, the Tai'a Divine Sword erupted with a dazzling platinum radiance, and the Forge and Artifact Control magic was brought to its peak, its sword cry soaring into the sky.

In an instant, Lu Jun's sword shattered all laws, its unparalleled sharpness tearing through layers of gray-white cursed light, piercing into the head of Scorpion Lord Medusa.

With a soft thud, half of Medusa's head was nearly cleaved open. Her beautiful, cursed snake eyes streamed down with shocking tears of blood. The sword energy swept across her, completely destroying her eyes, leaving two bloody holes on her mature and alluring face.

Hiss!

The next moment, time seemed to freeze and break free. Scorpion Lord Medusa Monarch broke free, letting out a painful scream as her immense Demonic Power burst forth, unleashing a tidal wave of energy on the mountaintop, turning half the hill into dust.

Buzz! Unexpectedly, Lu Jun had anticipated this. His figure blurred, and silver light flashed as he leaped hundreds of meters into the void, dodging Medusa's counterattack.

With the full support of the Spiritual Heavenly Realm, even High-level Magic can be cast instantly, greatly enhancing the practical value of Teleportation in combat.

Scorpion Lord Medusa, was severely injured but not yet dead. Her fatal weakness was not in her upper human form, but in the heart area of her lower scorpion body, which was covered by thick scales.

Hiss!

Medusa was enraged; her serpentine hair flew wildly, and hundreds of her serpentine eyes were fixed on Lu Jun, who had just appeared in mid-air, as she prepared to unleash her most powerful curse to kill him.

Before she could even make a move, the Nether Snake Undead Monarch followed closely behind, its massive body slithering forward and enveloping Medusa in circles, coiling into a dark Snake Mountain.

With a snap, the ferocious black serpent king moved, its terrifying force twisting and causing the void to wail. Blood seeped from the gaps between the layers of its serpentine body.

Meanwhile, the two great demons of Qiankun, the Night Thunder Dream Beast, the Water Element Spirit, and even the elder sister Lu Mei and the maid Jun Yaojin were already fighting against the ten loyal snake kings who were guarding Medusa's side.

Rumble!

A multicolored energy storm swept across the area, affecting a large number of serpentine servant Demon Beast. In just a few seconds, thousands of Demon Beasts were crushed to death, their flesh and blood splattering and flowing like a river.

In particular, the summoned Wind Flame Thunder Vulture Demons swooped down like a vast, thick cloud cascading over thousands of miles. Each one was like a roaring fighter jet crashing down, whistling past and crushing dozens of snakes and scorpions.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Wherever the giant bird passed, it plowed out paths of flesh and blood in its wake.

Lu Jun hovered in the sky, flicked the Tai'a Divine Sword, and shot straight into the clouds. The sky shimmered with platinum light, faintly opening a corner of the Tai Bai Divine Treasure.

The Tai'a Sword split into 108,000 flying swords, densely packed and endless, of all shapes and sizes, forming a rainforest of swords and a mountain of metal, with billions of Golden Radiance slashing through the sky.

At the top of the Mining Area, Medusa, covered in blood, shed her skin like a cicada emerging from its shell. She had just broken free from the restraints of the Nether Snake Undead Monarch when, in the next second, she was riddled with holes by billions of sword energies, her flesh mangled and surrounded by the aura of Death Tribulation.

Lu Jun's Metal Element, amplified by the White Tiger Pendant, is twice as powerful, making him incredibly fierce and lethal.

However, Scorpion Lord Medusa was not so easy to kill. This move worsened her injuries, forcing her to use her transformation magic again.

With a tearing sound, Medusa's mutilated body split open from the center, and an identical Scorpion Monarch crawled out, covered in slime, completely unharmed, except that its aura had weakened to the extreme.

Immediately afterward, the succubus's eyes flashed with spiritual light, her figure suddenly shrank, and she disappeared into the vast army of succubi, trying to escape!

However, Lu Jun, Super Rank Mind Element, had already marked her and locked onto her firmly.

Upon seeing this, he coldly controlled the star, merging the Water Element Spirit with himself. The [Sea Abyss] effect was activated, and a vast amount of water vapor continuously overflowed from his body, forming a black Water Vortex.

Splash! A massive flood erupted in the Taibai Mining Area. Black seawater surged and submerged the mountains and mines. The black seawater appeared out of nowhere on the barren yellow ground, carrying away a large number of snake and scorpion Demon Beast, and washing over several kilometers of open fields.

Thick dark clouds, torrential rain and strong winds—amidst the continuous downpour, the massive black snake's body appeared and disappeared, meandering and moving.

The Nether Snake Undead Monarch moved with ease in the Northern Darkness Domain, moving with lightning speed. He targeted a seemingly ordinary serpent monster and suddenly opened his blood-red maw to bite it.

With a soft splatter, Scorpion Lord Medusa was forced to reveal her true form, with most of her body submerged in the giant snake's mouth, screaming madly.

Glug glug!

Lu Jun clenched his fists, causing the Black Sea to cave in. The terrifying devouring force pulled everything into oblivion. Combined with the twisting and dragging of the Nether Snake Undead Monarch, Medusa could only desperately sink little by little into the deep Sea Abyss.

When the commotion in the Black Swamp subsided, the seawater overflowed, pouring into the mines everywhere. The water level gradually dropped, revealing the enormous corpse of the Medusa monarch, lying across the wet ground.

Even after Scorpion Monarch's death, his aura of monarchical authority still emanated from him, making people afraid to approach him.

In an instant, the tens of thousands of serpent monsters who were still fighting were in an uproar, and the endless army was on the verge of collapse.

Chapter 449 Harvesting Essence, Collecting Corpses

Taibai Mining Area.

Lu Jun, high in the sky, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Life Aura corpse of Scorpion Lord Medusa after the seawater receded.

This time he went all out, wielding all eight elements of magic with ease, making his combat power quite astonishing among Super Rank mages.

Previously, the Sub-Lord Jiehai Grand Duke Snake had not yet tested his true strength. Now, after fighting against the legitimate monarch Medusa, he has initially determined his position in the Super Rank, which is slightly stronger than that of the Minor Monarch.

Of course, Lu Jun benefited from the bug in the Time Domain, making his opening move virtually unbeatable.

Normally, only those who possess Four Elements Super Rank and master Supernatural Power can kill Minor Monarch, just like Mo Fan's level in his battle against the female Wolf Lord in the South Ridge.

"Once I master the Super Rank magic of curses and mind, my combat power should be even stronger. If I were to unleash my God Ascension State, I could fight Mid-level Monarch for a minute or two."

Lu Jun was in high spirits as he looked down at the dense Scorpion Snake Tribe on the ground, which were scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Seeing this, he chuckled. He was unwilling to let these Servant-level leave now that they had finally gathered together.

Water Glory Sky Curtain - Sky Curtain Dives Down!

At this moment, Lu Jun's expression was majestic, his body was covered in surging black water light, his hands were clenched into fists, dark clouds gathered in the void, and torrential rain and gale-force winds caused one wide, dark waterfall after another to fall, roaring and washing over the plain.

Splash!

Most of the mountains in the Mining Area were submerged by the surging Black Sea. The intense erosion penetrated the mountains, and the heavy water pressure collapsed the mine shafts.

The black swamp grew ever larger, swallowing up the serpentine Demon Beast one by one, like the underworld reaping lives. Their frantic pace could not escape the expansion of the Northern Darkness Sea Area.

After an unknown period of time, a vast swamp in the Northern Sea suddenly appeared on land, crashing down and creating massive waves that swept in all directions, carrying large amounts of water vapor that impacted an area of hundreds of kilometers in radius.

Even people in cities near the Cape of Good Hope could clearly feel a cool, moist breeze.

Lu Jun withdrew his magic, the Water Element galaxy dimmed, and he let out a long breath.
