Blood Refinement Fusion Ritual / Settle the Totem; Causes and Consequences from the Past

Several members of the Malicious Wolf Society present were subtly shaken, and the silk-clad man's expression changed drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Before he could speak, Lu Jun casually said, "Yu Lai!"

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered over Hangzhou, layer upon layer like Fish Scale Pattern, pressing down on the city as if to crush it.

Immediately afterwards, a torrential downpour began, enveloping the entire city in a misty veil, and causing rivers and streams to swell rapidly, as if a massive flood had broken out.

That's not all; somewhere in the distant wilderness outside the city...

The vast, dark clouds began to swirl, forming a massive vortex. A Water Tornado to the heavens, connecting heaven and earth, as if forming a terrifying funnel, drawing in all the water vapor from hundreds of kilometers around.

The experts from the Hangzhou Adjudication Court, including Tang Zhong, Tang Yue, and Night Hawk, wore solemn expressions. They rose and gazed into the distance, muttering to themselves, "Who is fighting and unleashing Super Rank magic? Or is some great demon from the Yangtze River causing trouble?"

Glug glug, in the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon in West Lake, a huge black shadow appeared and disappeared. The Totem Mysterious Snake was awakened and sensed the presence of its own kind and its former benefactor.

"No," Tang Yue said solemnly, "The Xuan Snake has been disturbed; something serious may have happened. I must go and see for myself."

Moments later, the sultry older woman vanished from the spot, disappearing into the shadows and quickly disappearing into the countryside.

At the same time, Lu Jun floated in the sky, enveloped by the Tongtian Water Tornado. He wore a dark and mysterious robe with the Northern Darkness Sea printed on it. The sleeves were decorated with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars, which were formed from the Northern Darkness Heavy Water and the Three Lights Divine Water.

With every gesture he made, an endless stream of water surged into the sky, surrounded by two crystal-clear Beads. The Water Repelling Pearl and the Town River Pearl were unleashed simultaneously, amplifying his power by 18 times.

In an instant, this area was submerged by the surging Northern Darkness Sea, and the sky and the ground were shrouded in darkness. The surging waves swept across the heavens, as if they were about to bring down the great sun from beyond the sky and extinguish it.

Before the silk- Demon Man men could react, they were plunged into Sea Abyss, submerged in black water, unable to see the surface of the sea, as a heavy and chilling force pressed against their bodies.

The surrounding mountains, hills, ancient trees, and vast land crumbled inch by inch beneath the black swamp.

Hundreds of meters tall ancient trees appear as tiny as seaweed in the vast ocean, while towering, massive rocks seem to stretch endlessly beyond the sea's surface; everything is water.

The waters of the Northern Sea, a single drop of which can dissolve mountains and seas, were unleashed in one go with over forty drops of the waters cultivated. Combined with a top-tier Soul Seed, Water Element calamity, and a super-powerful technique, the destructive power had reached the level of Super Rank, unparalleled Heavenly Seed.

The swampy forest that once stretched for tens of kilometers has disappeared, replaced by a vast sea.

From the outside, it was even more breathtaking. The million residents of Hangzhou exclaimed and looked into the distance. Not far from the city, a black curtain of water descended from the horizon, boundless and reaching the sky, with the sound of waves echoing in the heavens.

It's as if a vast ocean has been moved to the side out of thin air.

Someone exclaimed in fear, "What's going on? This seawater is only confined to one area. If it overflows, won't the entire Hangzhou be flooded?"

In the center of the Black Sea, the Super Rank mage, Silk Man, screamed. His body was surging with destructive magical energy, but he still could not escape the suppression of the Northern Sea.

The other two members of the Malicious Wolf Society were also deeply involved, their faces filled with horror, like a small boat on a vast ocean, helpless and alone, ready to die at the slightest storm.

As for Zeng Guanglie and Dog Man, there's no need to say more. They are merely high-level beings. Even if the power wasn't concentrated on them, the slightest impact would cause them to drift with the tide, their lives beyond their control.

The golden flames that once covered the mountains and fields had long since been extinguished, much easier than putting out a small flame.

Only the area where the giant blue cocoon was located was specially preserved by Lu Jun and protected by the ability to avoid water. It remained unchanged, with the boundless seawater above, below, left, and right automatically avoiding it when it approached, forming a cover like an inverted jade bowl.

Peaceful and serene.

Yu Shishi watched this scene in shock, swallowing hard. Who on earth was this person, possessing such extraordinary cultivation?

Immediately, she felt exhilarated; regardless of whether they were friends or enemies, this was a testament to the totem's own power.

Rumble!

Gold Tooth was crackling with lightning, hundreds of thick, domineering bolts of lightning intertwined to form a network, struggling to resist.

Even so, the pain was still unbearable all over his body; it was as if his flesh and bones, his internal organs, and his Spiritual World were all about to merge into this vast Northern Darkness Sea.

He watched helplessly as the surrounding land was repeatedly eroded and washed away by the black water, its sharp edges smoothed out, the mountains leveled, and the earth slowly collapsed in just a few seconds. Even if Lu Jun withdrew his Supernatural Power, a vast lake would still appear here.

Furthermore, due to the presence of the green cocoon, there will be a floating forest island in the lake.

But Gold Tooth didn't want his remains to be buried in the lake; if he didn't break free soon, that fate would be inevitable.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes wide with rage, and with both hands he condensed a golden thunderous greatsword, his unique Lightning Element Supernatural Power. Then his figure flickered erratically as he unleashed the Shadow Super Rank, barely managing to move under the weight of the Xuanzhong.

Gold Tooth lunged forward, brandishing his large golden sword, and slashed at Lu Jun.

Clang!

Seeing this, Lu Jun remained indifferent, and with a flick of his wrist, he wielded the Tai'a Sword and suddenly slashed down. The White Tiger Pendant and the Divine Seal Praise flashed simultaneously, and the Tai Bai Divine Treasure, nine times stronger, erupted.

A streak of platinum brilliance flashed across the depths of the Black Sea, dazzling and almost filling everyone's vision. Its unparalleled sharpness was fully revealed, even causing the safest Yu Shishi to shed tears of blood, and it reached its peak even faster.

As the sword light vanished, the Super Rank mage, Big Gold Tooth, froze in the seawater, unable to move.

Click!

The next second, the Thunder Golden Blade in his hand snapped, and his entire body was cleaved in two while still upright. His corpse silently melted into the black water.

The remaining two, the silk- Demon Man and the short man, had no Shadow Magic. Their Space Element and Ice Element powers were unable to move the Black Sea and escape; they were merely withered bones in a tomb, and soon dissolved into the waters of the Northern Sea.

On their deathbeds, the two men were filled with resentment and fear, as if they could not believe they had encountered such a powerful opponent.

Lu Jun slowly sheathed his sword, opened his mouth and inhaled, the endless ocean swept into his mouth, the torrential rain and the vast marshes disappeared, the air was fresh and moist, and the sun hung high in the void, as if it were all an illusion.

Looking around, one sees the marshland and forests flattened, with a clear and beautiful lake nestled quietly. Water vapor rises spontaneously, forming a thick fog that veils a giant cocoon within the forest of an island in the lake, creating a scene full of artistic conception.

This scene stunned Yu Shishi, making her realize that the battle she had just witnessed was real. However, the methods and style didn't seem like those of a magician; it had the feel of a terrestrial deity.

Lu Jun internally observed the forty-two drops of Northern Darkness Heavy Water returning to his dantian and re-condensing. Although their luster had dimmed slightly, the amount of water they contained remained unchanged. He couldn't help but nod in approval.

Three international Super Rank- powerful figures perished here, utterly powerless to resist.

He wasn't surprised. With both Metal Element and Water Element techniques, and the ability to condense the Calamity Talent, wouldn't it be a waste of his reputation if he couldn't instantly kill several people?

It should be noted that Lu Jun is on par with Mo Fan, who will learn the Fusion Method in the future. Mo Fan can kill them instantly, so how is Lu Jun lagging behind?

Just as Lu Jun turned his head, he suddenly heard a sharp scream and saw the Dog Man on the island in the lake, soaking wet and disheveled, holding Yu Shishi. He said sternly, "Don't move, or I'll kill her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun sized up Zeng Guanglie and his companion, then chuckled, "Hehehe, you were so busy killing the Super Rank mages of the Dailang Association that you forgot about these two rats."

Chapter 494 Blood Refining Fusion Ceremony

On the island in the lake, the Dog Man was terrified, his whole body trembling.

Who is this person? In the blink of an eye, he leveled and altered the terrain, instantly killing the Super Rank expert sent by Lord Su Lu.

Zeng Guanglie also rushed to his side in a disheveled state, saying in fear, "Don't kill me! I'm a member of the Magic Association. You know that killing me is a crime."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun chuckled lightly, as if playing with a cat and a mouse, completely disregarding the two of them, and said indifferently, "So what if I kill them?"

Desperate, the Dog Man gritted his teeth and screamed madly, "Even if I die, I'll make her pay with her death!"

The next moment, he communicated with the Dark Plane, invoking the Hell Furnace ritual, and his body was filled with surging magical energy at the peak of the Triple High Level.

A vast array was imprinted on the island, burning with three kinds of flames: dark green, eerie white, and blackish red, as if opening a passage to hell, from which a Fierce Curse Three-Headed Hell Dog struggled to crawl out.

Huh? Lu Jun originally intended to instantly kill the Dog Man, but seeing this scene, he became quite interested and muttered to himself, "A combination of Undead Element, Curse Element, Summoning System?"

He vaguely remembered him; the Dog Man was quite extraordinary, Summoning System a Hellhound with a powerful contract, and his strength was comparable to that of a Grand Commander.

But that's not all. The most terrifying thing is that this person can infuse his Undead Element and Curse Element into his Summoning System, and perform a ritual called [Hell Furnace Blood Refining] to fuse the three Hellhounds of the Curse into one.

Finally, it evolved into a three-headed hellhound. Although it was still at the level of a commander, its combat power was abnormal, and in some aspects it could reach the threshold of a monarch.

Even top-tier Summoned Beast like the Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Mermaid Holy Spirit would only have a 50/50 chance against it.

"It's a rudimentary form of Fusion Magic. It's said that this ritual originated from the Dark King? I have the Intermediate Magic [Hell Furnace], so it seems I can also cast this kind of sinister power."

Lu Jun stared at the Bloody Array Diagram summoned by the Dog Man. Seeing that the blood array was made from three hellhounds, which were horrifyingly crushed into bloody pulp and then reassembled into a three-headed dog, Lu Jun frowned.

He discovered that it also involved the [Undead Element Stitching] spell Primary level five [Flesh Stitching] spell.

The Dark King is no ordinary being; he has held the Dark Plane for countless years and has indeed devised numerous rituals.

Lu Jun had seen through the ritual, and he himself had mastered the Hell Furnace and Flesh Stitching. Theoretically, he could also perform the ritual by combining the two.

Unfortunately, the key lies in the fusion process, and unless one possesses an Innate Talent for multitasking, one can only cast one spell at a time, not multiple spells simultaneously.

Thinking about this, he felt even more strongly the importance of the Fusion Method. It could truly make the magic system more diverse and varied, without needing to start mutating at higher levels, and only becoming unique after Super Rank.

He smiled slightly and said, "He is indeed a qualified candidate for Fusion Magic research."

Based on the knowledge from the original work, and combined with Lu Jun's own understanding in this life, the Fusion Magic can be roughly divided into three levels.

The first level is probably like the Dog Man type, where magic is only fused from the outside and still requires external assistance.

When Mo Fan first mastered the Fusion Method, he was at this level. He used a special fusion glove. First, he would release a spell and store it inside the fusion glove, then cast a second spell, and finally, under the guidance of the fusion glove, they would merge into one.

As a result, the magic's power increased several times over, and it gained two additional effects.

The second layer no longer requires external aids. Mo Fan only discarded his gloves when he sought revenge for Feng Zhoulong. He could freely operate and easily fuse various magical energies, instantly casting Fusion Magic.

The third level is similar to the Innate Talent of the Four-Colored Demon and the Bei Jiang, where the magical source within the body is fused.

When Mo Fan became the Evil Saint King, the eight star systems were united into one, from which the realm of omnipotent Magic System was derived.

The reason why Feng Zhoulong was able to figure it out is probably because the Four-Colored Demon and the Bei Jiang directly revealed the essence, and their situations were different, divided into Demon Beast and human mages. It was very easy to deduce the process from the source.

"I am already so powerful; mastering the Fusion Method will take me to an even higher level."

Lu Jun, his heart burning with desire, looked down at the Dog Man and calmly shouted, "Get out!"

Boom!

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the Dog Man, who was controlling the blood array to forge the Hell Three-Headed Dog, collapsed with a deafening roar at this seemingly indifferent rebuke.

With a spurt, he spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering a severe backlash, but he had no time to treat it. Instead, he stared blankly at the scene, his heart filled with despair.

In terms of mastery of the three systems of summoning, curses, and death, Lu Jun unfortunately possessed numerous techniques, along with the power of his Armor Robe and the Haila, which naturally suppressed the Dog Man, allowing him to inflict heavy damage with ease.

Lu Jun didn't give them a chance. He pointed his finger, and two strands of platinum energy flashed and disappeared, piercing through their heads.

Zeng Guanglie was reduced to ashes, only the Dog Man was left with a complete corpse.

After a moment, he put the Dog Man's corpse into his Portable Space, then looked around at the place where the three members of the Dailang Association had died. Sensing the three powerful spirits being absorbed into the White Tiger Pendant, he nodded in satisfaction.

The soul quality of Super Rank mage is extremely high, no weaker than the Monarch Remnant Soul Fragment. If they harbor resentment, they are highly likely to fall into the realm of the undead, belonging to the Soul Seed Demon Beast species.

This is also why Nine Nether Queen in the Original Timeline always hoped for Mo Fan's death. The death of the demon soul transformed into a powerful undead, eventually reaching the Emperor.

Lu Jun collected them, and once the Death Element advanced to the Intermediate Level and mastered the [Soul Summoning], he could then enlighten several more powerful commander-level ghosts, some of whom also had the potential to become monarchs.

"It's a pity that my High-level Magic Curse Element magic Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net, can only be crafted using the souls of High-Order Mage as materials. If it were made with Super Rank materials, the ghost would be even more powerful now."

He shook his head, saying it was a pity, but in reality, he wasn't regretful.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Jun would not refine the souls of human mages; it would be too cruel and inhumane.

But there's no need to be polite to people like the Ghost Wife, Mu He, and the Dailang Association; after all, their souls being scattered is considered a merciful death.

At this moment, Yu Shishi was unharmed, but she stood there stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Once Lu Jun landed and approached, she hurriedly and respectfully said, "Thank you... uh, sir, may I ask who you are...?"

"My name is Lu Jun, and I could be considered Totem Guardian, if I may."

Lu Jun replied, "Probably related? Marrying Sister Tang Yue means she's practically family."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi was overjoyed and stammered, "I didn't know there were totems and guardians in China. Which lineage do you belong to?"

She felt like she had found a kindred spirit, and Lu Jun was so powerful, giving her a great sense of security, which made her lower her guard immediately.

After all, if the other party really wanted to frame her, why go through all this trouble? With her strength, even a totem might not be a match for her.

Lu Jun was speechless. He glanced at Yu Shishi and said, "I say, are you out of touch with the world? The totem I know is in Hangzhou!"

"Huh?"

Yu Shishi looked bewildered and managed to say, "I've lived in the wilderness since I was a child and have never been in a city."

Lu Jun listened to the other party's story. Yu Shishi had contracted a strange illness when she was very young and was abandoned by her parents. Before she was about to die, she received the blessing of a totem and a moth, which saved her life.

This is why Yu Shishi cherishes moths so much; in her eyes, they are her family.

Chapter 495 Placing the Totem, Past Karma

Lu Jun shook his head, glanced at her, and said, "Hangzhou is so close, yet because of your naivety, you missed it, almost ending up dead and nearly dragging the totem down with you. It's truly laughable."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shishi felt extremely ashamed. The Totem Mysterious Snake Serpent, a Supreme Monarch, was right next to her, and had been active on numerous occasions, making him famous throughout the Nine Provinces.

They were blinded by their own limited perspective and failed to recognize their savior.

She sighed and said, "It was my own narrow-mindedness and distrust of humanity that led me to harbor some prejudices. I will certainly correct these in the future."
