Hunting an Emperor?! / Water Element Heavenly Seed, True Yellow Springs Water

Nearby, the Mermaid mother and daughter reunited, gently comforting each other and sharing their experiences.

Lu Jun possessed Mind Element, allowing him to easily understand the language of the Mermaid race, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.

It turns out that after the Mermaid Queen bid farewell, she continuously rescued her people in the Pacific Ocean's edge region. All the people in this area were saved by her. Then, she secretly ran back to her ancestral land through the underwater currents to recuperate and rebuild her life, thus creating a hidden danger.

The Pacific Empire once breached the Mariana Trench, but because the Holy Spirit Emperor fled, he no longer paid attention to this area, thus taking advantage of an opportunity.

The reason why almost all the Mermaid Holy Spirit present were in their growth stage was that they received the least attention from the Sea Demon Empire and were barely surviving.

The Holy Spirits of Monarch Level and above dare not return in their entirety, preferring to draw away calamity and leave the hope of life to their descendants.

The good news is that the Pacific Empire recently eased its pursuit, allowing the Mermaid Holy Spirit Clan to catch their breath and plan to gather their scattered members together before making another move.

It was unsurprising that this was caused by the Sea Monster Dynasty's premature invasion of the Nine Provinces.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun immediately asked, "Where is your Ancestor, the Holy Spirit Emperor? Is He still alive?"

Chapter 529 Hunting Emperor?!

The Sea Abyss underworld.

As Lu Jun began to speak, Dean Xiao listened attentively.

The life or death of the Water Element Holy Spirit Emperor is crucial to the objective of this journey.

To put it bluntly, under the overwhelming force of the Pacific Empire's invasion, while the Emperor's Forbidden Spells may still be top-tier combat power, Monarch -Super Rank soldiers are practically everywhere. Without Water Element Holy Spirit Emperor, the value of the Mermaid race will be greatly diminished.

There's no need for an alliance anymore. At most, we can provide this race with habitats along the Yangtze River, which they migrate inland, and help them stop their advance into the sea to deal with ordinary Sea Monster.

Fortunately, the Mermaid Queen nodded. Her Ancestor was still alive. She had contacted her not long ago, and it was the ancestor who instructed her to return to her ancestral land and lie low.

The Holy Spirit Clan possesses the Three Lights Divine Water, whose Healing Ability in Sunlight Mode is extraordinary, and combined with the stealth in Lunar Eclipse Mode, making it not so easy to perish. Therefore, it survived the Sea Demon Empire's pursuit and interception.

Lu Jun asked, "You said there were three Emperors in charge of hunting down the Holy Spirit Emperor before, but now it's been reduced to only one?"

The Mermaid Queen nodded, treating her daughter's contractor with great gentleness.

Then Lu Jun pressed further, "Which Emperor specifically?"

A bell rings, the Mermaid Queen whispers, recounting her story.

"Dragon Race? Skilled at stirring up storms, possessing a powerful physique and astonishing defense, this is... the Vicious Dragon Emperor?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun pondered for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Dean Xiao.

The others were also communicating with the seven or eight Mermaid Holy Spirit present. Ye Mei's face showed joy as she learned many secrets of the deep sea from the members of the water Elemental Spirit Tribe, especially the information about the ten Emperors of the Pacific Empire.

Besides, behind the Pacific Empire's territory, there is another ruler whose true race is unknown, only that his strength is far inferior to that of the Cold Moon Eye Demon God.

Cold Moon Eye stood at the peak of the Sovereign level, possessing the two divine eyes of Tide and Ocean. That Sovereign barely stepped onto the threshold of the Dominator Emperor.

Lu Jun remembered that in the Original Timeline, Mo Fan and Qinglong joined forces to seize the Eye of the Tide and threw it to this Overlord, which barely allowed Cold Moon Eye and the Mysterious Overlord to achieve a balance.

Super Rank Soldier Bai Lang said solemnly, "Don't have too much hope for this ruler. After all, he is Demon Beast. None of us humans are strong enough to negotiate with him on an equal footing."

"Yes," Chen Zhen nodded, "It would be good enough if this Overlord could control half of the Cold Moon Eye Overlord's energy."

After exchanging words and verifying Lu Jun's information, the four felt relieved, having accomplished their mission. They then sat down to rest near the altar.

The ancestral land of Mermaid is quite magical; it can isolate the water pressure of the Black Sea and the chill of the Yellow Springs, allowing several human mages to practice without any burden.

Meanwhile, Dean Xiao and Lu Jun were secretly communicating on the other end.

"The Vicious Dragon Emperor..." Dean Xiao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "You may not know this, but Hua Zhanhong has already secretly entered the Philippines, waiting to receive us at any time."

Lu Jun understood; this was the team's backup plan. He looked at Dean Xiao, as if to say something more.

Dean Xiao said in a deep voice, "I'm wondering if we can lure the Vicious Dragon Emperor here, and then Hua Zhanhong, the Holy Spirit Emperor, and I can join forces to kill him!"

Hunting down Emperor!

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's expression was one of shock, yet also a hint of excitement. In the Original Timeline, there had been instances of Emperor being killed in the Nine Provinces.

Hua Zhanhong used himself as bait to venture alone into Hawaii Island in the center of the Pacific Ocean, where he painstakingly killed the Dragon Ant Queen. Although the Emperor, including Cold Moon Eye Demon God, were restrained by the major countries and the Magic Association of the three continents and did not intervene, it was still extremely dangerous.

That was a last resort to ease the situation along the coast, merely to halt humanity's decline and boost morale.

After all, in the Original Timeline, the future was marked by repeated defeats, and the spirit of the Nine Provinces had faded.

This time is different. We took the initiative and seized the initiative, giving the united front across the nine provinces boundless confidence and fighting spirit.

Moreover, after careful consideration, Lu Jun realized that the success rate was not low.

First of all, the backgrounds of the ten Emperors are crystal clear, so there won't be any intelligence gaps that could cause the hunting mission to fail.

Secondly, it would be easy to lure the Vicious Dragon Emperor to the Mariana Trench. He was already hunting down the Holy Spirit Emperor, and as soon as the Mermaid Emperor made a move, he would come running.

The unique terrain, combined with the fact that the Emperor, including Cold Moon Eye, were caught off guard, effectively isolated the area from external influences.

In terms of final combat strength, Dean Xiao is on par with the Holy Spirit Emperor, and with his support of the main force Hua Zhanhong, victory is practically assured.

"If all else fails, I'll transform into the Undead Emperor and secretly make my move."

Lu Jun narrowed his eyes. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he couldn't miss it even if it meant exposing his identity.

If Emperor-level corpse is refined using Undead Magic, there is a high chance of becoming Sub-Emperor. In addition, an Emperor Essence Soul can push the White Tiger Pendant to the peak of the Star Sea Magic Artifact, thus promoting faster progress in cultivation.

Just like the significance of the Zhan Kong Void Essence to the Azure Dragon Pendant in the original work.

The White Tiger Pendant on Lu Jun's chest was absorbing the essence of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree, gradually reaching the Star Sea Magic Artifact, and further forging a pure and enormous energy, which could probably propel a high-level system to the Super Rank.

However, Lu Jun wasn't very confident at the moment and planned to consolidate his cultivation first.

Then Dean Xiao and the other person finalized the plan. Lu Jun's help was indispensable. They would work together to set up an ultra-long-distance teleportation array to teleport Hua Zhanhong over at the critical moment.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your Space Element are quite impressive. High-level Four Void Channel, you must be really rich, and it's even enhanced by a mysterious technique."

Dean Xiao noticed that Lu Jun's Time-Space Element was different, which is why he asked him to assist him.

On the other side, after listening to the two's suggestions, the Mermaid Queen thought it over and decided to trust her daughter's contractor and tell her Ancestor to take a gamble.

However, this matter is not urgent and requires careful consideration.

She was also giving her daughter some instructions. When she discovered that the Mermaid maiden was exceptionally strong, especially since her foundation and bloodline had been raised to the level of Sub-Emperor, she was overjoyed.

Although it is only a tiny seed, it will eventually take root and sprout.

Ring~

Seeing this, the Mermaid Queen was satisfied with Lu Jun: "Not bad, you've taken good care of my daughter, but she needs to stay in the ancestral land for a while, as I have many skills to pass on to her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was not annoyed, but rather pleased. The Mermaid Queen was preparing to use her most treasured resources to help the Mermaid maiden complete her bloodline transformation and reach the level of a formal monarch in the shortest possible time.

"Indeed, daughters from maternal families are the most promising."

Lu Jun was filled with emotion; it had relieved him of one of his greatest worries.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out a portion of the Time-Space Liquid from his pocket. It was a harvest from the Inca Empire, which he had kept hidden until now. Originally intended as a trump card, it had become increasingly unnecessary as his strength increased.

He planned to give it to the Mermaid maiden, saying that it would effectively shorten her growth period.

The group settled down temporarily and rested in the ancestral land of the Mermaid, while Lu Jun wanted to search for traces of the Water Element Heavenly Seed.

Chapter 530 Water Element Heavenly Seed, Yellow Spring True Water

A hint of heaviness appeared between Lu Jun's brows. Ever since Dean Xiao conceived the idea of hunting down the Emperor, he had felt that time was running out.

The world situation is changing too fast, and the levels he comes into contact with are starting to approach the forbidden spells of Emperor, which greatly increases the pressure on him.

If he could refine the Heavenly Seed through Water Element and seize the opportunity to break through to the second level of the Super Rank, then transform into God Ascension State, his strength would increase even further, perhaps reaching the level of Sub-Emperor, and he could then assist Leader Hua and the others?

He pondered carefully and concluded that it was unlikely. The gap between Supreme Monarch and an ordinary forbidden spell was insurmountable, let alone an Emperor who could rival seven or eight forbidden spells.

Lu Jun still remembers the future in the Original Timeline, which was the incident where Hua Zhanhong killed the Dragon Ant Queen Emperor alone. In the face of the Emperor's clash, the three Supreme Monarch, Xuan She, Sea Eagle, Moon Moth Phoenix, were as insignificant as ants.

"I hope everything goes smoothly. The Undead Emperor is too important. Once he's used, Parthenon's territory will be exposed, and the Seven Archangels will descend upon the Holy City."

At this moment, Lu Jun prayed silently and inquired about the news from the Mermaid Queen.

Bell!

The Mermaid Queen responded quickly, pointing to the vast underworld beneath the ancestral altar, and murmured softly.

"You mean that Water Element Heavenly Seed is downstream of the Yellow Springs? Near the underworld?"

Lu Jun's expression was grave; this location was extremely dangerous.

Explanation of the Mermaid Queen's Mind Telepathy.

When this Heavenly Seed was born, it shook the Mariana Trench, stirred up the underworld, and its influence reached the Pacific Ocean.

The Ancestor Holy Spirit Emperor was alarmed and went to investigate. He found that the attributes were too extreme and completely unsuitable for the Mermaid race, so he let it be.

Lu Jun had made up his mind. He set off from the altar, immersed himself in the Black Sea, and walked downstream along the Yellow Springs at the bottom.

Along the way, he would occasionally see the corpses in the underworld awaken and fight each other, causing terrifying waves to sweep across the Black Sea and making the seawater shake violently.

But Lu Jun didn't care, ignoring everything with the power of the Undead Emperor.

Finally, at the end of the Yellow Springs, at the border with the Underworld, in the endless darkness, he faintly glimpsed a dim yellow sun, with abundant Yin energy gushing out, and a terrifying Undead Monarch lurking.

This darkness contains subtle fluctuations of overlapping space; a slight misstep could draw one into the underworld, from which there is no escape for eternity.

Lu Jun released his sense of Time-Space Element and moved forward along the blurry Yellow Springs River.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, before Lu Jun could notice, the figure's back twisted, gradually revealing a black-robed Ghost Shadow holding a scythe, chuckling in a sinister tone.

The Shadow Clan Elder, whose cultivation was at least at the level of a legitimate monarch, was about to behead Lu Jun when a sudden sound rang in his ears.

"Roll!"

Lu Jun gave a cold, low shout, and the shadow behind him seemed to be startled, disappearing into the endless darkness with a 'whoosh'.

"The Shadow Clan Elder, a noble from the Dark Plane... I never expected such a creature to appear. It seems we're truly close to the Underworld."

Upon seeing this, he frowned slightly, and upon further examining the ever-changing darkness around him, he found that his own Time-Space Element was somewhat unable to penetrate it.

After a moment of thought, Lu Jun probed into the White Tiger Pendant, which was about to transform into a vast and magnificent sea of blood, where several Remnant Soul of Monarch Essence Soul floated and sank, along with dozens of remnants of commander Remnant Soul.

He made up his mind and summoned several Time-Space Element star systems that commanded the Remnant Soul to be injected into his Spiritual World.

Boom! Boom! Boom! At the very center of the vast, dark silver star river, the forty-nine stars were baptized by the power of the essence, and one by one they expanded and advanced to the fifth level.

Breakthrough to the fifth level of the Intermediate Level Time-Space Element!

He had previously unlocked all High-level Four magic in all six magic systems, including the four and five levels of basic magic and the four levels of Intermediate Level, leaving only the five levels of Intermediate Level magic unexploded.

Given the current situation of the Dark Plane folding, using Space Element Intermediate Magic Space Rhythm is the best way to deal with it.

From compression, stagnation, and cracks to Dimensional Anchor, all of these address spatial changes.

Lu Jun used the fourth level of Dimensional Anchor, which could temporarily imprison the fluctuations of the Dark Plane within a radius of a hundred feet, but it was not a long-term solution and progress was still difficult.

He wondered if the fifth level of Space Rhythm would be effective.

Soon, Lu Jun had a sudden realization and smiled. Sure enough, each level four and five spell had its own unique effects.

The fifth level of Space Rhythm, [So close yet so far], is even more so.

This magic has many uses. You can draw a line in front of you and cause space to collapse, making all magical attacks seem endless and completely annihilated. In addition, it has the power to shrink the earth to an inch, allowing you to cross a hundred miles in one step.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Lu Jun's figure suddenly moved, taking a step forward where the endless darkness beneath his feet rapidly contracted, and the unpredictable fluctuations were suppressed.

After a few steps, the once distant, dim sun became close at hand.

With a whoosh, as Lu Jun approached, this Water Element Heavenly Seed, which seemed to be the essence of the Yellow Springs, trembled and overflowed with terrifying pressure, as if it couldn't wait to rush into Lu Jun's body.

"Water Element Calamity Talent?"

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought. Besides, there should also be resonance from the Northern Darkness Heavy Water Devouring Seed and the Death Element Origin.

"What a treasure! Its attributes are a perfect match; it's meant to be mine."

He sensed the vast, golden sun, and exclaimed in admiration.

The birth of Water Element Heavenly Seed inevitably attracts guardian Demon Beast, but unfortunately, Lu Jun's aura as a Netherworld Emperor is so strong that even Supreme Monarch would give him a wide berth. The guardian Nether Lord of this place has long been frightened away.
