Escape, Mind Stone / Eighth Spiritual Realm, Dual Transcendent Powers

Euryale keenly sensed the threat and repeatedly tried to break through the encirclement to approach Lu Jun, but was blocked by several Sub-Lord summons fighting desperately.

He merged with the Mermaid Holy Spirit and was blessed with the Three Lights Divine Water, greatly enhancing his healing abilities, water control abilities, and Mental Power. Together with a group of powerful henchmen, he fought Harpy Medusa, to a standstill.

Meanwhile, in several North Africa countries, major cities felt the effects of this earth-shattering battle; nearby cities trembled with fear.

The aftermath of the battle altered the celestial phenomena, with a vast expanse of colorful sunset glow spreading across the sky, a beautiful yet ominous sight, and unleashing a powerful shockwave that spread outwards in all directions.

This is a mythical battlefield with more than ten monarchs, something that hasn't been seen in decades. The mere presence of any one of these monarchs would shake the entire small country.

Many people are paying attention to this battle, which could potentially change the course of the situation in Africa.

"This young man from the National Government not only didn't run away, but actually chose to hunt down the Harpy Medusa. It's unbelievable. He's the first person to provoke the Scorpion Snake Clan and emerge unscathed."

Along the Mediterranean Sea coast, Pang Lai was anxious to find Lu Jun, but had to stop halfway.

Someone was blocking his way; on the boundless sea, a gigantic serpent Demon Beast stood.

Pang Lai's expression was solemn as he slowly said, "Scorpion Queen Xina, the eldest daughter of Mother of Medusa."

The succubus, haughty and cold, said, "Human, you have overstepped your bounds. A fully-fledged cultivator at the Super Rank —do you intend to wage a full-scale war against the Scorpion-Snake Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Pang Lai frowned. He knew he shouldn't get involved in this matter. Besides, as the chief official of the Forbidden City, why should he fight to the death for the Egyptians?

He said calmly, "As long as Lu Jun is alright, everything else is negotiable."

Scorpion Queen Medusa remained silent for a while, seemingly considering something, and did not reply for a long time, as if she was waiting for something.

Pang Lai stared intently at the other person, suspecting that Xina was deliberately blocking him, hoping that Lu Jun Apasi would severely injure Euryale, or that both of them would suffer heavy losses.

Then she calmly cleaned up the mess, devoured her two younger sisters, and then consumed her mother's corpse, completely ascending from Supreme Monarch to Emperor!

Chapter 460 Escape, Thought Stone

North Africa coast.

Lu Jun and Euryale fought for several hours, the battlefield constantly shifting, leaving behind a trail of destruction.

He was at a significant disadvantage most of the time, and had to sacrifice his monarch as a human shield to take the hits.

Fortunately, as time went by, Lu Jun gradually digested the Haila, greatly increasing the power of his Curse Element. This nourished the two great evil spirits of Qian and Kun, elevating them to the Monarch Level.

Rumble, whoosh!

The White-clothed female ghost stood in the sky, her body covered in apricot-yellow earth patterns, and her back was outlined with Hundred Ghosts Painting from the Mount Tai Underworld. She was given a terrifying blessing, and her every move amplified the infinite gravity.

On the other side, the black-clad ghost swelled violently, standing tall and imposing in the wilderness. Its dark, ghostly form resembled a vast night sky, covering an area of several kilometers. Its Dark Blue Tattoos easily summoned one Sky-Piercing Hurricane after another.

Lu Jun was overjoyed, as his two Qiankun Fiend Ghost instantly became his main damage dealers.

The biggest difference between Sub-Lord and a legitimate monarch lies in whether they possess unique special abilities, and the resulting combat style.

The Earth Ghost Fiend's Mount Tai Underworld is almost equivalent to the Earth Element Heavenly Seed, while the Sky Ghost Fiend's bluish-black ferocious inscription thus grants him control over the power of the Wind Element Heavenly Seed.

As a result, neither side could do anything about the other.

Euryale felt the deep curse within her spreading rapidly, her expression growing increasingly ruthless. Like a madwoman, every move she made was a desperate struggle, her eyes gleaming with noble Golden Powder Snake light, her combat power soaring.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jun's expression turned solemn, knowing that the Harpy Medusa was about to enter the next stage, unleashing her battle form, which would at least double in terms of danger and combat power.

Suddenly, he telepathically communicated with Apasi was wrestling with five direct Medusa beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun retrieved the Great Monarch summons. A Triangular Dimensional Mirror appeared above his head, and his body shimmered with silver light, with countless dazzling stars outlining a constellation.

Teleportation!

Lu Jun unleashed a vast spiritual force, enveloping Apasi beside him, and they vanished from the spot.

The next moment, the two figures appeared several kilometers away.

Not only that, but the Universe Ghost Fiend possessed him! Lu Jun transformed into a fierce ghost, his face etched with dark blue tattoos, his skin covered in grayish-white ghostly patterns, and a dark blue-black whirlwind swept up as he rapidly fled into the distance.

That's right, he ran away!

Lu Jun kept casting spells without stopping. Of the eight Magic System, only the Life Element and Death Element were constantly recovering thanks to the Calamity Bringer's talent. The other six systems were nearly exhausted.

There was no other way; his cultivation level was only at the first level of the dual-element Super Rank- tier, and his Summoning System and Water Element, which were one of his main strengths, were only at the High-level Four, making it difficult for him to sustain a prolonged battle.

To be precise, Lu Jun's current combat power far exceeds his cultivation level, hence the enormous energy consumption. If he were to fight against opponents of the same level, such as some Sub-Lord or Minor Monarch, he would not have to worry about running out of magical energy.

For a moment, even Euryale was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, she decided not to give chase.

She remained rooted to the spot, gritting her teeth as she said, "Once I remove the curse, it will be the end for both of you."

However, Euryale did not sit idly by. She remembered her allies and immediately made contact, attempting to keep the two of them busy dealing with the situation.

Buzz buzz buzz!

While urging the gale to escape, Lu Jun used his Teleportation leap repeatedly, finally leaving the territory of the Harpy Medusa and escaping her detection.

Lu Jun slowly landed on an unfamiliar wilderness, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes to recover his magical energy.

The Great Monarch is not so easy to kill. He plans to harass Euryale repeatedly, using her as a whetstone to continuously improve his strength.

He considered unleashing his God Ascension State, which would grant him combat power nearly equal to that of Great Monarch, but what could he possibly accomplish in just one minute? He certainly couldn't kill his opponent instantly.

The only option now is to improve one's cultivation level, or wait a few more days until the Tai'a Sword finishes refining the Tai Bai Xin Jin and then leaves.

Apasi said with dissatisfaction, "You didn't keep your promise. You clearly said you would kill Harpy Medusa."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun opened his eyes and then closed them again, calmly saying, "Don't misunderstand. In our cooperation, I hold the initiative because I can leave at any time. Watch your attitude."

After saying that, Apasi's pretty face showed anger, but also helplessness.

Lu Jun meditated to restore his magical energy. He could feel that with the baptism of battle, the refining of his Haila nearing its end, and the awakening of the Curse Element Supernatural Power was just around the corner.

At that time, his combat power will take another leap.

Not to mention that the Water Element has been through many bloody battles and is now very stable. He should also refine the [Star Sea Vein] that he bought from Pang Lai for 2 billion. He is 90% confident that he can advance to the Water Element Super Rank.

Water Element is different from the Curse, Mind. It is the Magic System that Lu Jun has cultivated the longest and used the most. Once he breaks through to the Super Rank, he will immediately master the Supernatural Power.

Thinking of this, Lu Jun cultivated even more diligently, his aura becoming increasingly fierce, as if under the beating of the Great Monarch Euryale, he became more and more integrated, and the accumulation of the eight major systems reached its limit.

Half a day has passed.

Lu Jun's eight magical energy had recovered to its peak, and he was just about to break through to the Water Element Super Rank when suddenly his expression shifted slightly. The moon-white Summoning Star River trembled, and a certain kind of tremor came from it.

"What... what's going on?"

He frowned and carefully examined his body, quickly discovering that the commotion originated from [Dimensional Summon].

"Is the Night Thunder Dream Beast calling me?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Jun was slightly taken aback. He quickly extended his vast spiritual power, passing through a moon-white summoning gate, and arrived in the otherworldly [Summoning Plane].

My Soul Evasion, and what came into view was a vast, Dark Forest, stretching endlessly. Abundant shadow energy soared into the sky, converging into an effect like [Night Ruler]. This domain encompassed the entire forest, as if night had fallen.

The familiar scene was the place where he first encountered the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

It was also the coordinates that Pang Lai gave him while instructing him on the cultivation methods of the Summoning System, belonging to the lineage of Pang Lai's sect.

He gazed into the distance, where a colossal tree, resembling a towering dark tower, stood in the center of the Dark Forest, the surroundings unchanged.

Beneath the high canopy, the local ruler, a sub- Sub-Lord level Night Shadow, stood about three meters tall, in human form, exuding an aura of domineering and awe-inspiring nobility.

By now, Lu Jun had clearly seen through this special Demon Beast, which was similar to an elemental vengeful spirit, except that its source of Shadow Element leaned towards the Shadow Kin Tribe, and it did not possess the possession ability of Elemental Spirit.

Beside the ruler of the Dark Forest, a handsome giant beast, resembling both a lion and a deer, gracefully perched on a branch, its body covered in black and white fur—it was none other than the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

The two now stand side by side, on equal footing; back then, the latter was being hunted down by the former.

Lu Jun nodded slightly to the humanoid Dark Ruler, then looked at the Night Thunder Dream Beast with a puzzled expression. Why was he suddenly summoned?

"Yo-yo~" Night Thunder Dream Beast murmured, indicating that the other party had contacted him.

Soon, the Night Shadow conjured up a pile of crystal-clear Silver Stones out of thin air, which fell onto the leaves with a clatter, piling up into a small mound about half a person's height.

"This is..." Lu Jun was first confused, then shocked. "Thought Stone?!"

"Holy crap, you can do that?!"

Lu Jun was quick-witted and immediately figured out who had given it to him. Pang Lai knew the coordinates of this place, so it was no surprise that the other party was sending him the item remotely.

No wonder Summoning System are also categorized Dimensional System, possessing the ability to transport objects across distances.

But he felt that this method should have a limit, otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to come up with all sorts of fancy tricks?

Chapter 461 The Eight Realms of Spirit, Dual Supernatural Power

Summoning Plane, the Dark Forest.

Lu Jun's Spirit Body manifested, its entire body incredibly solid, resembling real flesh and blood composed of Warm Jade, radiating a brilliant glow. As its vast Mental Power descended, it stirred up an invisible, transparent ripple around its body.

He was dressed in white, with markings on his sleeves such as the Northern Darkness Water Pattern, the Li Fan Flower, the Time-Space Ring, the Life Soul, and the Death Armor. Clouds and mist gathered spontaneously, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

The sinister, shadowy humanoid figure took a step back as a sign of respect.

As soon as Lu Jun had a thought, several dozen crystal-clear, radiant silver crystals rose and floated around him, each about the Size Change a fist, no less valuable than the Battlefield Treasure Mo Fan had obtained in the treasure-hunting dimension.

"A hundred pounds of Thought Stone should be enough to raise my Mental Power level to the [Eighth Realm]. At that time, I should be able to cultivate Supernatural Power in both the Mind Curse dual-elemental Super Rank."

Lu Jun sensed the massive amount of pure Psionic Energy contained within the Thought Stone, and his heart was filled with joy, his entire Spirit Body stirring with excitement.

Soon, a powerful fluctuation surged above the Dark Forest, and invisible Mental Power converged, revealing a gigantic face.

It was Pang Lai's spiritual will, and an aged voice came out. "Lu Jun, did you receive the Thought Stone? I'm being held back by Scorpion Monarch Xina. Be careful, try to improve your cultivation, and then hide."

"Received, thank you Chief Pang."

Seeing this, Lu Jun was quite grateful and Mind Telepathy.

"That's good. You always cause a huge commotion wherever you go."

The illusory face in the sky gradually dissipated. The other party seemed to have something urgent to attend to and hastily withdrew their mental focus, leaving only a lingering echo.

After a moment, Lu Jun withdrew his gaze, his mind returned to normal, and with a thought, he enveloped the Thought Stone together.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In a remote wilderness, Lu Jun suddenly opened his eyes and looked to the side. A moon-white door materialized from nothing, accompanied by silver Thought Stone in the void transforming from illusion to solidity.

This is Primary Magic Dimensional Summon...

He realized that this method of transporting matter was obviously flawed. Apart from the Thought Stone, which was formed from pure Psionic Energy and was therefore between the real and the unreal and could be carried, all other physical objects could not pass through the Summoning Gate.

"Sigh, it seems some of my ideas can't be realized."

Lu Jun sighed, then seemed to be deep in thought. He had inscribed the [Gate of Contract] spell in his high-level Summoning System High-level Magic, which could allow him to contract an additional Summoned Beast that could freely travel between the Two Realms. Perhaps this was possible.

"Thought Stone? Where did you get so many of them?"

Suddenly, a surprised and pleasant female voice rang out from the side.

Apasi's figure appeared, her beautiful eyes fixed on the mountain of Silver Pebbles piled on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun waved his hand and stored the Thought Stone in his Portable Space, looking at her warily, and casually replied, "What's it to you?"

"Heh heh heh," Apasi sneered, "Don't worry, I don't need it yet. Who wants your stuff?"

Lu Jun did not trust her, knowing that Apasi possessed human blood and could even cultivate magic, and could refine the Thought Stone as well.

Silence fell Mortal World again. He took a moment to check his bank account and exclaimed in shock: of the more than 20 billion yuan, the spoils from the Treasure Hunt Competition, plus the compensation from rescuing people along the way and the African Magic Association, only 7 or 8 billion yuan remained.

Pang Lai spent 14.4 billion in one go to buy so many Thought Stones.

"I hope to push my Mental Power to the eighth realm."

Lu Jun wasn't bothered by the expense. At his level, money was just an external thing; being able to improve his strength by spending real money was already extremely fortunate.

Immediately, aside from keeping a wary eye on Apasi, he took out a silver Thought Stone, held it in his hand without hesitation, and probed it with his mind.

Sizzle!

At this moment, Silver Wheel shone between Lu Jun's brows, and his immense Mental Power surged forth. The crystalline stone in his hand melted rapidly upon contact, vanishing into thin air as if it had merged with his Mental Power.

He clearly felt that his Mental Power had increased slightly, with the amplification of the Four Elements —curse, mind, summoning, and time and space—rising simultaneously.

"It works!" Lu Jun's eyes brightened, and he silently thought, "Thought Stone, let me see where your limits are!"

Rumble!
