Another Battle, Profound Eye / The Pyramid Descends!
One silver crystal after another appeared in the void, only to melt away and vanish completely.
Lu Jun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, suspended in mid-air. Above his head, a vast expanse of silvery light rolled and churned, becoming increasingly substantial and surging like a roaring dragon as a large number of crystals were incorporated into it.
Peak of the Seventh Realm... Advancing to the Eighth Realm!
His aura surged, rapidly rising until it broke through a threshold, shaking the heavens and shattering the clouds overhead, revealing a clear blue sky.
Apasi watched this scene in shock, sensing a strong danger from the other party. The seventh realm was just about to reach the threshold of a monarch, and the eighth realm was equivalent to Mid-level Monarch. If combined with the cultivation of the third level of the Super Rank- rank, he would have the combat power to hunt down Mid-level Monarch on his own.
Unfortunately, Lu Jun's cultivation level was a bit lacking, only at the first level Super Rank level. However, with the help of the Curse Element Heavenly Seed Method, his actual performance was not much weaker.
Buzz buzz buzz!
In mid-air, Lu Jun slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with silver light, like a god high above.
His transformation was not yet over. Subtle changes occurred in the star sea of Curse Element and Mind Element. Endless magical energy mixed with spiritual energy emanated and shone behind him. The sky darkened, and a vast, pitch-black star field appeared and disappeared.
"Supernatural Power!"
Lu Jun could clearly feel that the continuous magical energy from the two star seas permeated every corner of his body, and then most of the power gathered in the area of his eyes.
Thump!
Like the Big Bang, a deafening roar echoed in his mind, his eyes became like two black holes, and his soul was split in two and suddenly sucked into them, accompanied by Curse, Mind and spiritual magical energy.
At that moment, Lu Jun felt dizzy and disoriented.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes, and the world was completely different.
Under Lu Jun's perception, his own eyes seemed to contain a vast sea of stars, refined into powerful magical artifacts, profound, powerful, and immortal.
If it were retrieved after death, it would probably become a treasure, just like the [Corrosive Evil Eye].
Even so, Lu Jun keenly noticed that his two eyes were vastly different, possessing almost diametrically opposed divine powers: one was sinister and awe-inspiring, while the other was pure and ethereal.
From the outside, his left eye was a holy azure blue, with a miniature Li Fan Flower mark engraved in the center of the pupil, its texture clear, exquisite and beautiful. His right eye shone with an evil blood-black color, with a sinister shadow outlined in the center of the pupil, depicted by Demonic Ritual Mark.
"Mind Element Supernatural Power - [Imagination Pupil]! Curse Element Supernatural Power - [Profound Eye]!"
A sudden realization dawned on Lu Jun's mind. Although he was not yet clear about the immense power of the two Supernatural Power, it did not prevent him from naming them.
The Supernatural Power cultivated primarily through the Mind Element has been perfectly integrated into the method of the Power of Imagination in the left eye.
The Curse Element right eye seems to have been infused with the power of the demon Haila, and has also merged with the newly born Heavenly-level Curse Substance [Blood Abyss Dark Judgment]. New special effects will be released through this eye.
It subtly opened a passage to another special world, as deep as an abyss, hence the name Tongyou (通幽).
Lu Jun stroked his chin. "I didn't expect him to be similar to Mo Fan. The Chaos Eye and Space Eye he will cultivate in the future will be roughly the same, just not as unique as mine."
This is not surprising. Super Rank mages refine magical energy into their bodies, cultivating their limbs, bones, internal organs, and various other parts, much like cultivators, thus initiating a life evolution. This is also the most classic path (original text).
With his spiritual cultivation at the eighth level and his dual-elemental Supernatural Power cultivation, his strength soared once again.
Chapter 462 Another Battle, the Profound Eye
While consolidating his cultivation, Lu Jun explored the effects of the two Supernatural Power.
Starting with the Super Rank mage, magic transcends fixed frameworks, becoming incredibly diverse and with countless paths.
The most significant advantage of integrating magical energy into the body is that it eliminates the need to control star points, allowing for the free release of magic. The power of the magic varies depending on the amount of magical energy within the body.
Lu Jun sensed it briefly and found that the energy contained in his heterochromatic eyes was comparable to a starry sea. In other words, he could unleash Super Rank magic power with a mere thought, and it would be instantaneous!
It's equivalent to him not having fully mastered the Super Rank Mind Element magic, yet he can already unleash magic with power reaching the Super Rank, and with a different effect.
"Very good. Now, facing Euryale, our chances of winning will increase significantly."
He remembered this incident, slowly opened his eyes, and decided not to continue cultivating. Instead, he went to find the Harpy Medusa to practice his skills.
After all, if Euryale were allowed to remove the curse, she would be no match for him once she returned to her peak Great Monarch form.
The success of the Curse: Book of Life and Death: Seven Arrows Book was due not only to the power of the seven physical magical arrows, but also to the altar containing a massive number of serpent monster corpses, which drained a portion of the Power of Imagination.
Once Euryale becomes wary, she, as a master of curses, will never fall into the same trap twice.
On the wilderness, Apasi looked at Lu Jun in the sky with a strange expression. Suddenly, her expression changed slightly. She stared into his pair of perfect heterochromatic eyes and seemed to feel boundless magical energy, which made her heart tremble.
Her own golden-pink snake eyes subconsciously revealed themselves, as if she had encountered a powerful opponent and was reacting spontaneously.
Apasi had no choice but to lower her head slightly, utterly shocked. How could this be?!
These eyes contain the supreme secrets of Curse, Mind, clearly different from what my mother possessed; they belong to a different path.
Although it is currently weak, merely a seed, it will surely break through to the level of Emperor in time, becoming world-renowned and on par with the Medusa's Eye.
She couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. How long had it been? In just two or three days, this person's strength had increased dramatically.
Apasi stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to see my sister again?"
"That's right, let's see if we can kill her this time."
Lu Jun calmly replied that he was in good condition. After refining a large number of pure Thought Stone, he advanced to the eighth realm of spiritual cultivation, which triggered two major changes in the star sea and gave birth to Supernatural Power.
With such a dramatic improvement, Lu Jun was even considering whether to continue having Pang Lai collect Thought Stone.
Unfortunately, he felt that it probably wouldn't work in the short term, Thought Stone were too rare. After his acquisition, the price of iron ore would skyrocket next year, and it would become more expensive year after year.
Old Pang Lai had exhausted all his connections to gather so many Thought Stones, and had even spent a lot of money to do favors for them.
14.4 billion is not much; the actual price may be much higher. Moreover, the higher one's spiritual realm, the more rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures one possesses, the less effective the improvement may be. The number of Thought Stone required is astronomical.
"He even taught me Summoning Magic; I'll have to find a way to repay him someday."
Lu Jun thought to himself, recalling Pang Lai's long-cherished wish to summon the Jiuzhou National Beast from the [Tomb of the Fallen Nation], and that he would find an opportunity to do so in the future.
Without lingering, the two quickly sensed the Harpy Medusa's presence and began their pursuit.
Whoosh!
Halfway there, Lu Jun's expression suddenly changed. He looked up at the sky, and ripples suddenly appeared in the void. Two jet-black arrows pierced through the air and returned to his body.
In the depths of the black and red Curse Star Sea in the Spiritual World, two arrows floated dimly, likely unusable for some time.
Furthermore, Lu Jun's vision blurred, and his right eye Profound Eye, inexplicably connected to a certain place on the other side.
The scene depicts a giant winged serpent writhing in agony in a vast wilderness, with two spots of black light shimmering on its massive body.
Finally, the two cursed arrows were forced out little by little, bringing with them a large amount of black blood.
Hiss! The giant eagle-winged serpent roared to the sky, its aura growing ever stronger.
A moment later, the screen went dark, and he snapped back to reality, his expression grave. "Hurry over there," he said. "Euryale is gradually shedding her curse."
Upon hearing this, Apasi's expression changed. The two of them, surrounded by a silver glow, were transported by teleportation and flight, accompanied by a bluish-black gale.
Rumble!
In the wilderness, the Harpy Medusa whipped her tail, causing the earth to tremble violently.
"Damn human, don't fall into my hands, or I'll torture you horribly."
Euryale growled fiercely, then suddenly stopped moving, looked up at the sky, and saw two figures descending, exuding immense majesty.
"Here we go again, those annoying bugs."
She roared, her eyes turning golden-pink, and immediately unleashed a battle stance, unleashing Medusa's strongest attack, staring intently at the sky.
The wind stopped, the clouds ceased to drift, and the dust in the sky and on the ground remained still in place.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying curse was released, centered on the eyes of the Harpy Medusa, its gaze spreading outwards with a brownish-gray glow, almost as if time itself had frozen.
Medusa's Gaze!!
Upon seeing this, Lu Jun and Apasi reacted simultaneously.
The latter is the most direct, also displaying golden-pink snake eyes, releasing a brownish-gray glow that is much weaker than that of her sister Euryale.
Sizzle!
In the void, two petrifying curses of Size Change collided and intertwined, silently shattering space.
The surging Demonic Aura that stretched for tens of kilometers shattered, the black clouds receded, and the clear sky that was revealed was subsequently destroyed. The black void continued to expand, the Sky-Rending Mark was astonishing, and the destructive energy ran rampant.
Apasi was pale and at a complete disadvantage; the brownish-gray glow of the sunset had shrunk, remaining only around the two of them.
Euryale's strength has recovered considerably.
Fortunately, Lu Jun made a move, decisively abandoning his most overpowered ability, the Time Domain.
This tactic isn't very effective against Medusa. The petrification curse involves space and time, and it could be broken by an ordinary Minor Monarch Medusa before, let alone Euryale.
Furthermore, once it is used, it will drain the spacetime galaxy. Without the Time-Space Element, which is the most mobile Magic System, it will not be so easy for him to come and go as he pleases.
Lu Jun decided to trust his newly acquired Curse Element Supernatural Power, [Profound Eye].
Buzz buzz buzz!
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only his right eye was visible. That deep, blood-black pupil reflected the phantom of the underworld, and following the mysterious connection, it released the vast demonic energy within.
Accompanied by the Curse Substance [Blood Abyss Dark Judgment], this move is named [Profound Dark Judgment].
In an instant, the world darkened, and a tiny black dot appeared where Lu Jun's eyes were focused. It then rapidly expanded, becoming pure darkness that slowly spread across the vast brown glow of the sky.
Wherever it passed, even the most powerful curse energy was covered and swallowed up, silently yet terrifyingly.
It's as if it possesses a profound, all-consuming power, pulling anything it sees into some mysterious place.
Chapter 463 The Pyramids Descend!
Trial by the Underworld!
Lu Jun's right eye was deep and dark. The black light particles in the sky expanded silently, turning into a huge, terrifying black curtain. There was no sense of destruction, no rampant energy, only withered and dead silence.
This invisible force is like an eraser, arbitrarily altering the real world, easily erasing everything, and destroying matter at its source.
The Haila can only descend when the Dark Judgment is activated. It possesses the power to drag sinners into the Dark Plane. Once anyone falls into the dark land, they will never have a chance to turn back and will perish in eternal darkness.
Just like in the Original Timeline, even though Mo Fan fell into the Dark Plane twice and unleashed his Demonization, he still almost perished inside.
His Curse Substance merged into the Haila, and the resulting special effects also possessed this great power.
However, the point of connection is not within the Dark King's territory, but rather in the Underworld, which is exclusive to King of Hell and is also part of the Dark Plane.
The dark curtain, baring its fangs and claws, devoured all the curse power released by the two Medusa, and its remaining force continued to spread rapidly towards Euryale.
"How is that possible!"
Harpy Medusa was shocked; only a few days had passed, and her opponent had become even stronger.
In mid-air, unable to dodge in time, she was caught by the edge of the gaze of the Profound Eye, and instantly a part of the enormous serpent's body was plunged into eternal, silent darkness.
If someone looks up at the sky, they will see a vast black curtain slowly swallowing a winding, majestic serpent, half of its tail already assimilated into the darkness.
"Ah! "Euryale screamed in agony, unleashing a Mental Storm as her body thrashed violently, desperately trying to break free from the pull of darkness.
With a final "plop," she burst out of the darkness. Half of the giant snake's body disappeared, the wound's cross-section was smooth, without a drop of blood flowing down, and was covered with a layer of eerie color.
Gradually, Lu Jun withdrew the power of the [Profound Eye], the luster of his right eye, which was like a blood-red gemstone, dimmed, and the vast energy it contained was completely exhausted.
Euryale was severely injured, but the Great Monarch possessed remarkable vitality and unique magical powers.
Glug glug!
The giant serpent in the void roared, its flesh writhing like mercury, its lower body bulging with pinkish lumps, and a brand new, complete serpent tail tore through its skin and grew rapidly, its surface dripping with sticky fluid.
Lu Jun took a deep breath and sensed that the opponent's aura had weakened considerably. Already deeply cursed and having suffered multiple attacks and heavy blows, the opponent's health would eventually be reduced to the point of lethality.
"Let's see how long you can hold out."
He spoke with a solemn expression, his body outlined with stars, and flashing with Curse Element, Summoning System, and Death Element radiance, summoning four monarchs and more than thirty Commander Rank Demonic Beast in one go.
Then, he skillfully used the Four Elements Water Element, life magic, mind magic, and death magic to enhance his abilities.
The beasts roared, the mountains and rivers trembled, and the wild momentum rose steadily, sweeping across all directions.
Lu Jun has now developed a complete set of tactics: start with a time-space imprisonment assassination, and if the first strike fails, immediately Summoned Beast to fill the field, then stand in the back row to cast spells.
As Euryale molted and flew into a rage, she saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh in anger. Dozens of flesh shields blocked her way, making it an impregnable fortress, and anyone who wanted to break through the encirclement would have a headache.
Her snake-like eyes were cold and sinister, and her tongue flicked out. "Sisi, do you think I have no way to deal with you?"
