Power of Deception, Refine the Star-Sea Heavenly Vein / Water Element Reaches Super-Tier, Northern Sea

She transformed into a blood-red, emaciated giant snake, with parts of her flesh and bones severed.

The Harpy Medusa did try her best to resist, her golden-pink vertical pupils shining brightly at every moment.

Unexpectedly, the brownish-gray petrification curse collided head-on with the formless and intangible platinum elemental magnetic energy. Instead of stopping the Metal Element, it acted like a whetstone, easily cutting through countless strands of Platinum Glow. When it burst forth, its sharpness was even greater, and its power increased significantly.

Earth generates metal; the surging earth element actually makes the Gold Qi element rise higher and higher.

Lu Jun was surprised, not expecting that the Metal Element was so effective against Medusa. So he showed no mercy, raising his hand and slashing down with his sword again and again. Hundreds of sharp sword lights fell, each one like a rainbow streaking across the sky.

In addition, the four Monarch Level subordinates of the Nether Snake Undead Monarch, Medusa Undead Monarch, and Black and White Impermanence pressed their advantage and besieged Euryale.

Rumble!

Euryale was unable to reverse the tide. The enormous feathered serpent struggled on the ground, its flesh mangled and its body broken into several pieces. It was on the verge of death, with large patches of blackish-red blood flowing from its surface. The Seven-Star Arrow were unleashed in full force.

She had been severely injured twice by the Supernatural Power - Profound Eye, causing her cultivation level to drop to the Mid-level Monarch. On the contrary, the Curse Element Qian Kun Two Fiends made further progress when their spiritual realm broke through to the eighth level, narrowing the gap between them.

Mother of Medusa's second daughter was on the verge of death.

At this moment, everyone secretly watching in Africa, hundreds of miles away, was deeply shaken upon hearing the giant snake's mournful howl. Euryale, a catastrophe for any nation, truly doomed?

Many people couldn't help but feel wary of Lu Jun, listing him as one of the most powerful human beings who should not be provoked.

Moreover, news of this battle caused a sensation throughout the West, with the Holy City, Parthenon, and the St. Paul Magic Association paying close attention.

Parthenon, preoccupied with his own problems, made a mental note of this member of the Nationalist government and then ignored him.

The Holy City retrieved Lu Jun's information, found nothing amiss, and let it go.

The seven Archangel Commander only pay attention to people and things at the level of forbidden spell Emperor. No matter how strong Super Rank is, even if they can kill Great Monarch, they don't take them seriously.

However, by the time Lu Jun's experiences in Africa were reported back to Kyushu, they had become completely unrecognizable.

One moment it's said that Lu Jun fought his way in and out of the Scorpion Snake Tribe seven times, all because Mother of Medusa took a liking to this extraordinary man and wanted to obtain him by any means necessary. The next moment it's said that Pharaoh personally intervened, wanting to corrupt Lu Jun into an undead.

Many acquaintances were stunned upon hearing the news.

Especially Mo Fan, who was still recuperating, returned to his old spot Mount Hua, to cultivate diligently after Parthenon Demonization in the battle, striving to regain his cultivation as soon as possible.

Hearing that Lu Jun's enemies were often referred to as "the emperor and his men," his face twitched.

Although there was a significant gap between the two during their time at the Nationalist government, they were still at a high level and considered students. Compared to the world's strongest individuals, they were labeled as "newcomers" and appeared quite naive.

In just a few months, Lu Jun's reputation soared. With the title of the first person in the National Government and the first person to kill Cardinal, he rose to prominence and gained widespread recognition, becoming a great figure that Mo Fan looked up to.

Lu Jun's battle against Euryale in Africa was a true testament to his legendary status.

In the desolate Cairo wilderness, Lu Jun hung high in the sky, his entire body enveloped in countless strands of Platinum Glow, resembling a dazzling divine robe. He held the Tai'a Sword upright between his brows, radiating an aura of supreme power and sharpness.

High-level Tier 3: Tai Bai Yuan Magnetic Qi! Intermediate Level Tier 5: Man and Tool in Harmony!

Whoosh!

In an instant, Lu Jun moved, his sleeves fluttering, his expression filled with Killing Intent. He merged with his sword, and a dazzling Flying Immortal Sword Light rose from the spot, scattering golden fragments all over the sky, creating a dreamlike and beautiful scene.

As Harpy Medusa lay dying, she sensed a deadly danger, opened her golden-pink vertical pupils, and roared to the sky, intending to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, her movements froze, interrupted by the surging Demonic Power within her body, and a sinister, grinning shadow was reflected in each of her terrified snake eyes.

Advanced Mind Magic: Soul Control in the Human World!

With the support of his Eight Realms Mental Power, Lu Jun subtly influenced Medusa throughout the battle. Coupled with Euryale's weakened state due to serious injuries, he finally broke through Medusa's mental defenses and planted a psychological shadow.

This outburst could be fatal.

Pfft!

A soft sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and a wisp of sword light traversed the void, transforming into a figure wielding a sword and gracefully landing behind the giant serpent.

The two passed each other, and the next second, the enormous head of the towering, blood-red serpent suddenly exploded, revealing a hideous blood hole between the serpent's eyebrows.

Boom! Soon after, the eagle-winged giant serpent's eyes dimmed, and its massive body crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and rumble.

Lu Jun took a deep breath. The atmosphere of the battlefield was fierce, with thick bloodthirsty energy gathering all around, like a blood-red storm.

He held the Tai'a Sword, which was shrouded in thick bloody light, and the background made him look like a great demon king. The [Sword Sacrifice] effect was triggered!

Seeing this, Lu Jun sensed a powerful force brewing deep within the Tai'a Sword, which was feeding back into the Platinum Galaxy within his Spiritual World.

The power of the Metal Element is doubled!

"Huh?" Lu Jun felt something was off. The layers of the Tai'a Sword's Sword Sacrifice effect were only the most basic, obtained by killing Minor Monarch, not the solidified layer of Great Monarch.

He turned abruptly, staring at the imposing serpentine body. Death Element clearly told him that this fiend was dead. What had happened?

Moreover, the platinum pendant did not react, and Medusa's corpse did not release any spiritual energy.

As Lu Jun's battle ended, the battlefield where Apasi was located on the other side began to shake. The five mixed-blood Medusa monarchs were powerless to resist their direct descendants and immediately collapsed, fleeing in panic.

Chapter 466 The Power of Deception, Refining the Star Sea Vein

Apasi showed no mercy to her own kind, acting ruthlessly and decisively, killing two or three monarchs in one fell swoop, severely damaging the power of her second sister, Euryale.

In the sky, the battle between Lu Mei and her sister also came to a conclusion. Euryale is suspected to be dead, and the Pharaoh behind the Hephra Pyramid is unwilling to continue supporting it and has withdrawn the power of the underworld.

Lu Mei, however, remained resolute and pursued relentlessly. Behind her, the wings of a fiery phoenix spread out, leaving a wide, scorching trail of death across the sky, and single-handedly obliterated the mirage of the pyramid.

Damn it!

In the darkness, it seemed as if a great being roared angrily.

A moment later, the two women landed from mid-air. The older sister stood close to the younger brother and sister, while Apasi kept a distance, watching them warily, afraid that they might take care of her as well.

Lu Mei smiled easily, her fair hand outstretched, and a blue whirlwind lifted up a huge, tall spider with a round abdomen, looking timid.

She said, "I saw this thing in the center of the pyramid mirage. It seems to support the entire system, but I don't know what it's for."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's attention shifted, sensing the vast, ocean-like spiritual energy contained within the spider's body. He couldn't help but show a surprised expression and said, "Sister, you're really lucky. This will be extremely useful!"

"If you kill a tall-legged spider, you can take its heart and lungs, which can be forged into Star Sea Magic Artifact. The stored essence and energy are treasures that Undead Mage dream of."

Lu Jun knew about this thing because he learned about it from the original novel. Mo Fan had entered the Pharaoh Pyramid and found an identical tall-legged spider inside, which Mu Bai obtained and refined into Star Sea Magic Artifact.

The Egyptian pyramids are amazing; they're like factories for processing death energy. Pharaohs waged wars, plundering the corpses, souls, resentment, and death energy of the living.

Finally, after being processed through numerous steps by his undead subordinates, this refined Nether Energy was forged to nourish the Pharaoh's physique, and only Monarch Level undead could enjoy it.

Lu Jun was very excited. After many battles, the White Tiger Pendant had accumulated a great deal of essence. With the further refinement of this pure Nether Energy, he would probably have enough essence for both the Metal Element and Time-Space Element to advance to the High-level Four.

The older sister will also receive a long-term Star Sea Magic Artifact, which will allow her cultivation to maintain rapid growth.

Upon recalling the spirit, Lu Jun immediately turned his gaze to the eagle-winged Medusa corpse beside him, where the alluring young girl Apasi was already standing.

Noticing Lu Jun's gaze, she said coldly, "She's not dead. Euryale inherited the Harpy Queen's bloodline and possesses unparalleled Power of Deception. She escaped unnoticed long before you could kill her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun frowned deeply. "Then what did I kill?"

Although his White Tiger Pendant did not absorb the Monarch Essence Soul, the [Sword Sacrifice] effect stacked by the Tai'a Sword was real and undeniable.

"It's her true form," Apasi said regretfully. "Euryale abandoned her physical body and reincarnated, perhaps within one of those Medusa that just escaped."

Lu Jun sighed, "As expected of Great Monarch, he truly possesses unique abilities; he is not so easily killed."

Seeing this, Apasi quickly added, "However, doing this will inevitably cause her to suffer a severe blow, and her strength will plummet to rock bottom."

Lu Jun glanced at Apasi, understanding her implication, but he scoffed, "That's none of my business."

Anyway, he had gained a lot from this trip. The Tai Bai Xin Jin vein was refined, the African matter was settled, and it was time for him to leave.

He was ultimately wary of Pharaoh. The pyramids across Egypt were becoming active again, presumably reviving. He realized that if he were to turn his attention to them after causing such a commotion, it would be a greater loss than gain.

Apasi was dissatisfied, yet helpless.

For Lu Jun, the current situation is just right. The severely injured Euryale has even abandoned her true form and can no longer pose a threat to him.

With the addition of the weaker Apasi, the two will likely have to join forces to counter the older sister Xina, lest they both suffer heavy losses and allow someone else to reap the benefits.

This creates a check and balance.

After the siblings cleaned up the battlefield, Lu Jun had a thought. The giant serpent's corpse still retained its supreme majesty, and black arrows shot out from its surface, returning to the Curse Star Sea within his spiritual universe.

The two then drove off and returned to the Cape of Good Hope.

Lu Jun's arrival at the Cape Magic Association caused a sensation throughout the city. A vice president with Super Rank full cultivation personally greeted him and expressed his sincere gratitude.

He couldn't be bothered to deal with these politicians. Why didn't he do this earlier? He ignored them completely and went straight to his rented Meditation Room to cultivate, leaving the high-ranking officials looking livid.

Jun Yaojin quietly returned, looking Lu Jun up and down with a strange expression, filled with curiosity, finding it hard to imagine what level the new boss had reached.

You should know that she grew up in Europe hearing about Euryale 'Harpy Medusa. As a child, she was often frightened by her parents, who said that disobedient girls would be captured by Harpy Medusa and their beautiful skin would be cut open.

It can be described as "stopping a baby's crying at night"!

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Lu Jun chose to go into seclusion to cultivate. He needed to adjust his state so that his Water Element could break through to the Super Rank; he had been holding back for quite a while.

Furthermore, Lu Mei was in the same boat; she had only fully mastered the Super Rank Wind Element magic, and the Super Rank Fire Element magic was still a long way off.

About three days and three nights later.

In the Meditation Room, Lu Jun took a deep breath and took out a crystal-clear, dazzling ball of light, as if sealing a galaxy, with countless stars twinkling, containing the immense energy of a vast starry sea.

He was full of confidence in breaking through to the Water Element Super Rank, having already laid a solid foundation along the way. He had pushed the Tide to their limit and even mastered the Supernatural Power [Northern Darkness Qi Sea] ahead of time.

Rumble!

Lu Jun closed his eyes to cultivate, refining the abundant demonic energy of the [Star Sea Vein] in his hand. His aura rose steadily, and surging true water burst forth from his body.

The Meditation Room was instantly filled with mist, and a large patch of Black Mist roared and broke through the magic circle's restrictions, spreading to the outside world. The air became thick and heavy, with cold energy flowing through it, possessing terrifying corrosive power.

The walls of the Fortified Meditation Room, originally built by the Magic Association, were now riddled with pits and dents, which was quite unbelievable.

Many people were caught in the blast, suffering minor injuries or being pinned down by the mountain-like mist.

The Magic Association was thrown into chaos, with people constantly exclaiming, "What on earth happened?!"

Lu Jun ignored the commotion outside. In any case, his sister had already emerged from seclusion and knew he was in a critical moment, enough to protect him.

With a whoosh, his entire body became crystal clear, the abundant water vapor refined, as if he had transformed into water. The area around his kidneys glowed, emitting a black jade-like luster, dazzling and converging in the middle of the two, which is the Qi Sea Dantian.

It seems they intend to simultaneously master both the Super Rank star sea and the Supernatural Power.

Lu Jun's Spiritual World also underwent a dramatic change. The black galaxy expanded dramatically, breaking through a terrifying barrier and flowing thousands of miles into a vast, surging ocean.

Chapter 467 Water Element Super Rank, Northern Darkness Sea

The Star Sea Vein was refined.

Lu Jun felt as if his body was a dry sponge, greedily absorbing a vast amount of energy, with his essence, energy, and spirit being simultaneously sublimated and strengthened.

Boom!

He succeeded in the end. A brand new starry sea was born in the spiritual universe, with 2,401 brilliant stars floating and sinking, and dark water elemental magic surging, with various characteristics such as profound weight, extreme yin, Tide, and the Sea Abyss.

Moreover, the Northern Darkness Heavy Water cleansed the body, causing the kidneys to condense brilliant light and transform into extraordinary organs. The dantian and qi sea were opened up, as if containing an entire vast ocean.

The vast ocean of the spirit and the great marshland of the flesh echo each other, the two oceans resonating and intertwining.

His Six Realms of Blood Essence, attempting to break through the threshold of the Monarch Level physical body and advance to the seventh level of Qi and Blood Realm.

Unlike the Supernatural Power of Curse Element and Mind Element, the Supernatural Power of Water Element acts on vital organs, causing greater changes to the physique.

Unfortunately, the breakthrough commotion around Lu Jun gradually subsided, and in the end, his crystal-clear body, as black as jade, still failed to advance to the monarch level, ultimately falling short of the mark.

Even so, he successfully advanced to the Super Rank in the Water Element! He mastered the Supernatural Power - [Northern Darkness Qi Sea]!

Buzz buzz buzz!

In the Meditation Room, Lu Jun suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. His left eye was holy and azure, while his right eye Strange Blood- red. At the center of his body, in the dantian, a dark ball of light floated, and the light and shadow of his kidneys on both sides were outlined.

Three-elemental Super Rank, three-elemental Supernatural Power.

The more Lu Jun cultivated, the more inhuman he became, like a divine being born with extraordinary phenomena, transcending the mundane and reaching the highest level of holiness.

At this moment, he closed his eyes in delight and sensed that three vast star seas firmly occupied the center of his spiritual universe, with three kinds of rosy light flowing between them: pitch black, azure, and blackish red.

"Supernatural Power - Northern Darkness Sea"

He was experiencing this new ability. Unlike the Profound Eye and the Imagination Pupil, which he was not yet familiar with and still needed to explore, he had mastered this power long ago.

In addition to its passive ability to greatly enhance the control and range of water elements, [Northern Darkness Qi Sea] also has an active release effect, equivalent to the Netherworld Judgment of the Profound Eye, which can directly release destructive power Super Rank.
