At this moment, Euryale felt a chill in her heart. This was due to the lock of her bloodline. She had tried her best to activate the power of the Medusa petrification curse, but she still could not stop this inexplicable Remote Curse.

Damn it!

She let out a shriek, unwilling to sit and wait for death. A pair of gray wings suddenly flapped behind her, creating a violent gust of wind that blew down nearby houses. Her entire massive body soared into the air.

Buzz! The Harpy Medusa, like a Feathered Serpent God, meandered and danced in the sky above Cairo, rapidly flying out of the city, carving out a chaotic airflow channel, its speed so fast it was indistinct.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

But the Seven-Star Arrow were faster Euryale; one after another, the jet-black arrows pierced the air, making little noise, and caught up with her ghostly speed.

With a soft thud, Harpy Medusa mid-air, was struck again, a streak of black light piercing her heart from behind.

Euryale's face contorted in agony as the curse within her surged more than tenfold in an instant, bringing with it increased cruelty and excruciating pain. The massive Snake Eagle froze in the sky and plummeted straight down into the dense city below.

With a deafening boom, another area of Cairo was destroyed, the ground collapsing several meters deep under the immense impact of gravity.

The Harpy Medusa's muscles twitched and spasmed, her entire serpentine body sweeping wildly across the city, attempting to alleviate her pain by destroying something.

The city's guardians finally realized what was happening, and the leaders' faces turned grim.

Ethan, one of the five leaders, recognized the Great Demon causing the chaos.

He cursed, "Damn it! It's Harpy Euryale, the second daughter of the Mother of Medusa. If you have something to say, just say so. Why bother causing trouble on our territory?"

The high-ranking officials were in a difficult position. They dared not provoke a dying Emperor, but faced with the rampant Demon Beast and heavy losses, how would the people view them if they did not respond?

The Cairo City sounded belatedly, and a large group of mages slowly ascended into the air, trailing far behind the High Monarch Demon, appearing hesitant yet ready to attack.

At this moment, Euryale ignored the commotion around her. She watched as another black arrow fell from the sky without hesitation, her heart filled with fear, and she gritted her teeth to shrink her body.

With a bang, the enormous demonic body vanished from the city.

In the densely packed crowds of people fleeing the city center, Euryale disguised herself as a Human Woman and hid among them.

She casually grabbed a young white-collar worker next to her, and amidst the other's terrified gaze, her slender hand slit open her abdomen in a cone shape, forcing her entire body inside.

With a series of chilling sounds of flesh being devoured, the young white-collar worker swayed, his eyes returning to normal.

Euryale glared hatefully at the Curse Arrow that had inexplicably struck from the void, and muttered, "The Power of Deception should be harmless now, shouldn't it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her face contorted in rage, and a streak of black light, unwavering in its direction, struck her arm with lightning speed.

"Damn it, who is it?!"

The Harpy Medusa howled in agony, her soul wracked with pain, her arms went numb and weak, and a sense of despair washed over her.

Immediately, she gritted her teeth in pain, her body swayed, she tore off the outer skin, and transformed into a towering, two-winged Two-Winged Giant Snake. With a flap of her wings, she soared into the air and flew swiftly towards the Cairo City.

Instead of heading south, Euryale flew north towards the Mediterranean Sea, one of her strongholds.

Buzzing! The remaining four arrows, still carrying momentum, followed closely behind, relentlessly pursuing the Harpy Medusa.

After a few breaths, she repeatedly used curse magic to wear down the Seven-Star Arrow, but with little effect, as if they were from another dimension, unaffected by reality.

This scene was witnessed by the cities along the way, and the rulers were all shocked, wondering who could have forced the Harpy Medusa into such a sorry state.

In the end, Euryale was caught up by four arrows, which pierced her body and nailed her to her soul.

She fell painfully into the wilderness, her body gradually shrinking until she resembled a normal human. Her aura faded, and black and red sacrificial patterns spread across her snow-white skin, bearing traces of demonic and Haila power.

Euryale's soul and body began to emit a putrid smell.

Chapter 456 Heading to the Sunset Temple, Corrosive Evil Eye

In the Taibai Mining Area, Lu Jun's face turned pale as he witnessed Euryale's tragic state through a mysterious connection.

He slowly exhaled, knowing that his move had thoroughly offended the Harpy Medusa.

But so what? Lu Jun isn't someone who can only take a beating without fighting back. Besides, the other party has already decided to kill him, so why be polite?

The older sister Lu Mei, asked, "How did it go?"

Lu Jun said in a low voice, "Fortunately, I hit him with my Seven-Star Arrow, which eroded his soul and flesh. Even if he doesn't die, he will be severely injured."

To be honest, his Seven-Star Arrow were enhanced in multiple ways, even incorporating a portion of the Power of Imagination from the Mind Element.

If the Minor Monarch were hit, he would be killed instantly, but when it hit Euryale, it seemed to have little effect.

However, he stared into the void before him, at a three-inch -Size Change female phantom made of Black Mist.

The figurative surface of the Harpy Medusa features seven nails positioned at key points, while the misty figure is riddled with cracks, threatening to disintegrate.

Lu Jun could still clearly sense that the opponent's aura had weakened considerably, and his strength had dropped, vaguely falling between Great Monarch and Mid-level Monarch.

Now, although he still couldn't beat them, he wasn't someone he couldn't even touch; at least he wasn't afraid of being instantly killed in one move.

Of course, if Lu Jun does nothing, and Euryale wears off the curse power of the Seven-Star Arrow, she will eventually recover.

Therefore, Lu Jun decided to take the initiative and continuously attack the Harpy Medusa to divert some of her energy, allowing the power of the curse to erode deeper and become more severe.

The best defense is a good offense.

Upon hearing this plan, Lu Mei said worriedly, "Are you really sure you can manage alone? Don't push yourself. How about I go with you?"

"You're not up to the task." Lu Jun shook his head and said, "In battles against Mid-level Monarch and above, even those at the Super Rank risk being instantly killed."

Upon hearing this, the older sister pursed her lips and remained motionless.

She suddenly remembered something and said, "That's right, I have a way. Sister Jiang Feng is asleep in my personal Portable Space, absorbing the energy of the Heart of the Earth, and will advance to the level of a true monarch. Perhaps she will awaken during this time."

Lu Jun was slightly taken aback. If this were the case, combining with his sister Lu Mei, with a top-grade Soul Seed, a Super Rank Fire Element, and the monarch Flame Princess, wouldn't their combat power be infinitely close to that of Mid-level Monarch? This was Mo Fan's Blazing Flame Yama form.

Hearing this, he became somewhat excited. Once Lu Mei mastered the Super Rank Wind Element magic, she would not only have the ability to protect herself, but would also be qualified to participate in this battle.

So Lu Jun agreed to Lu Mei's plan and handed over the Star Sea Controller to her. He was about to face Euryale and probably wouldn't have time to cultivate, so it would be better to hand it over to Lu Mei so that she could release the Super Rank magic as soon as possible.

Only Jun Yaojin said helplessly, "It seems I can't be of any help."

The two ignored her.

Lu Mei stared intently at her younger brother and whispered, "Wait for me!"

Lu Jun nodded, then with a thought, his body shone with silver light, and he flew north without stopping.

This battle is destined to be a long and War of Attrition, and there may be ups and downs, just like in the future when Mo Fan chased after the Supreme Monarch Sea King Skeleton, and the battle lasted for several days and nights.

Upon reaching the Super Rank, human mages possess immense magical power, gradually becoming inhuman (possessing Supernatural Power), Monarch Demon have robust and tenacious lives with astonishing Recovery Ability, making it difficult to determine a victor for the time being.

At this moment, Lu Jun was eager to make a move, treating the confrontation with Euryale as a test of his own abilities.

Throughout the journey, he Multitasking, restoring the Curse Star Sea's magical energy while occasionally unleashing the Seven-Star Arrow to disrupt his opponent, all while striving to communicate with the supreme treasure [Triangular Dimensional Mirror].

However, the former lacked a large number of the Scorpion Snake Tribe corpses, so its effect was greatly reduced compared to the first time. At most, it could only restrain Mental Power, which infuriated Euryale.

As for the latter, their cultivation at the Spiritual Heavenly Realm has already allowed them to explore some of the Mysteries of the Dimensional Realm.

For example, when applied to Time-Space Element and Summoning System, it amplifies their power and is accompanied by a mysterious aura from the void, thus increasing cultivation level.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In mid-air, above Lu Jun's head was a Triangular Prism crystal Glass Mirror, its entire surface shimmering with a beautiful seven-colored radiance.

Suddenly, as if he had grasped some secret, his body blurred, and the next moment his body flashed several kilometers away, Teleportation comparable to long-distance teleportation.

Lu Jun has been using the Time-Space Element for a long time. With the combined nourishment of the White Tiger Pendant and the Triangular Dimensional Mirror, he has gradually reached the peak of the High-level Two and is on the verge of a breakthrough. Perhaps he will break through the bottleneck after experiencing a great battle.

Furthermore, the same applies to the Metal Element. The Tai'a Sword refines a mineral vein, causing the Platinum Star River Magic Energy to surge, reaching the peak of the High-level Two, ready to advance at any time.

Of the six older Magic System, only the Metal Element and Time-Space Element are not yet complete, but they are almost there now.

About half a day later, Lu Jun arrived in Cairo. With the aid of Time-Space Element flight, his speed was incredibly fast.

From afar, he saw Cairo shrouded in smoke, with large areas of houses destroyed, flames spreading, and cries echoing everywhere, which surprised him.

Actually, Lu Jun was unaware that the Egyptian representative at the Cape Magic Association had suggested against supporting him; otherwise, he probably would have cheered loudly—serves him right!

Lu Jun's purpose this time was not to ask Cairo for help, as that place was unreliable to begin with; Ethan survived by feeding Medusa human girls.

He wanted to find the [Sunset Temple], which was not far from here and was also Apasi's stronghold.

To be honest, Lu Jun had no good feelings towards Apasi, except that her maid was wantonly devouring human girls.

That's right, the person Ethan, the Egyptian leader, was really trying to curry favor with was Apasi. She herself was no good, and if she hadn't been bound to Mo Fan by contract, she would probably have become a ruthless Great Demon.

Therefore, he had no qualms about shifting the blame to Apasi, and even considered killing Apasi and turning her eyes into Magic Tool to give to his sister Lu Mei, which would probably be a good match for the Earth Element Petrifying Eye.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A moment later, Lu Jun landed on a cluster of Ancient Ruins, enveloped in a tranquil atmosphere.

He keenly sensed a subtle curse permeating the air, constantly rotting the flesh and causing the soul to decay.

"The Corrosive Evil Eye? What a treasure!"

Lu Jun muttered to himself, knowing the terrifying nature of this curse, which originated from a treasure called [The Corrosive Evil Eye].

No matter how powerful Super Rank mage is, as long as the area covered by the Evil Eye is continuously damaged, those below the level of forbidden spells will undoubtedly die if they remain there for too long.

This is a city guardian treasure similar to the [Heart of the Earth], containing vast curse energy.

He was quite curious whether it was possible to refine this item using Curse Element, thereby breaking through the forbidden spell.

Lu Jun was unaware of this, but he was determined to have it and study it slowly once he got his hands on it.

Soon, amidst the Ancient Ruins scattered everywhere, he saw a bewitching, cold moon atop a tall tower—that was the Corrosive Evil Eye.

Chapter 457 Apasi

Sunset Temple.

Lu Jun strolled among the ruins of the temple, its towering marble walls resembling a pilgrimage site for some non-human giants—ancient and sacred.

In front of the tower, a dozen powerful Great Demon, in the form of Serpent-person, stood tens of meters tall, their bodies covered in shimmering silver scales, resembling solemn knights.

Silver Snake Warrior, Commander Rank Demonic Beast, the personal guard of Medusa.

They stared intently at the young human man, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from him. They could also faintly see countless Vengeful Souls of their people entwined around him, wailing in agony, some even bearing traces of Monarch Level remnants.

They slaughtered at least several rulers of the Scorpion Snake Tribe.

Seeing this, Lu Jun's eyes were indifferent as he swept over the Silver Snake Warrior and coldly snorted, "Get lost!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

The next moment, his eyes flashed with silver light, and his vast Mental Power overflowed. The silver light that filled the sky transformed into Great Hand Seal in the void, forcefully repelling more than a dozen Commander-level beasts.

Lu Jun moved as if he were in an empty place, easily reaching the top of the tower. He reached out and touched the cold Moon Wheel, and his arm hissed and emitted blue Green Smoke. A large patch of tough, jade-like skin rotted, revealing grayish-white flesh.

"Even the physical body of someone at the Six Realms of Blood Essence has been eroded?"

To his surprise, his Life Element Calamity Bringer talent [Life Dominator] was activated, his body glowed autonomously, and a milky white light spread across his arms. Nourished by the rich life force, he instantly returned to normal and resisted the festering.

With a snap, Lu Jun removed a cold, dark pupil, sensing something and feeling rather disappointed.

The energy of the Corrosive Evil Eye is indeed extraordinary, but it absorbs more of the cursed elements that drift in the void, passively unfolding a festering aura that covers an area of several kilometers.

Ultimately, it originated from the mutation of the eyes of some Da Sheng; to think that one could use it to advance to a forbidden spell is nothing short of wishful thinking.

"Fine, just sell it for money or keep it in your own territory."

Lu Jun tossed the Corrosive Evil Eye into his Portable Space and used his spiritual senses to perceive the aura of a terrifying being deep within the Sunset Temple.

The owner of this place already knew of his arrival, and his mood was somewhat cold and malicious.

After all, no one would feel good about someone who breaks into their home without permission and steals things.

Surrounded by a group of elite, venomous guards, Lu Jun arrived fearlessly into a dense forest of altars.

Seated above was a young girl with flawless features and a graceful, beautiful figure.

Her face was cold, her personality arrogant, and unusually, instead of a snake tail, she had a pair of long, slender yet voluptuous white legs crossed, her bare, white feet with round, pearl-like toes slightly upturned, making her exceptionally alluring.

Seeing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but sigh. If it were a pervert who liked tsundere girls, he would definitely want to lick the screen, but unfortunately he wasn't interested in skinny little girls.

Apasi asked rudely, "Human, why aren't you chasing Euryale? What are you doing in my territory?"

"Apasi, I know you, the Third Daughter of the Mother of Medusa, born from the union of a human woman."

Lu Jun calmly stated bluntly, "Compared to your two older sisters, your chances of succeeding in competing for the throne of the Scorpion Snake Clan are slim. If you fail, death will likely be the simplest outcome."
