Water Element Reaches Super-Tier Level Two; Supreme Heavenly Seed / Prepare to Act
Lu Jun stretched out his hands and slowly embraced the dim, holy sun.
Rumble!
In an instant, the Water Element Heavenly Seed, like a swallow returning to its nest, disintegrated into countless strands that converged into his body. The entire black sea trembled violently, with towering waves, and even the Yellow Springs at the bottom erupted in turmoil, like a true dragon roaring.
It was as if the entire world was celebrating the destiny of the Heavenly Seed.
Lu Jun closed his eyes and sensed that an endless stream of water vapor surged into him, repeatedly washing over his limbs, bones, and internal organs. Most importantly, his Spiritual World trembled violently, and a dim yellow waterfall cascaded down three thousand feet.
The dark, starry Water Element was far from calm; it surged and roared, creating massive, overwhelming waves as the yellow waterfall cascaded down, one after another, sweeping across the heavens.
For a moment, even the most powerful cursed Mind Star Sea at the very center was forced aside.
The transformation has occurred!
Lu Jun's Water Element Cultivation rose rapidly, while the Northern Darkness Heavy Water Devouring Seed greedily absorbed the vast energy, using the analogy of a snake swallowing an elephant to compensate for one of its special effects, its momentum steadily increasing, and it advanced to the Heavenly Seed.
At this crucial moment, he did not hesitate to take out three Supreme Water Origin Crystal from his Portable Space. These crystals were taken from Wu Ku, and any one of them had a chance of creating a pseudo- Heavenly Seed. The three crystals combined would definitely be comparable to Heavenly Seed.
This Heavenly Seed, which originated in the Yellow Springs, was already no weaker than a Great Heavenly Seed, and it was further enhanced by the Three Supreme Essence Crystal.
This time, Northern Darkness Heavy Water Devouring Seed is equivalent to swallowing the spiritual qualities of two Heavenly Seed in succession, which is enough to deduce to the level of a Great Heavenly Seed, or even higher.
Lu Jun had extremely high aspirations. Now that he had obtained the Water Element Heavenly Seed, he was determined to do his best and obtain the number one Water Element Heavenly Seed in the world.
Chapter 531 Water Element Super Rank 2, No Great Heavenly Seed
Rumble!
Deep within the Mariana Trench, a raging torrent, like a true dragon, roars through the underworld, whipping up towering waves and causing death to surge upwards, forcing the Black Sea above to churn endlessly.
Ye Mei and her group on the altar were utterly astonished. Dean Xiao, sensing the terrifying fluctuations of water elements emanating from the lower reaches of the Yellow Springs, remarked kindly, "This kid has good luck."
The Water Element Heavenly Seed is not only linked to combat power, but also closely related to breaking through forbidden spells, laying a solid foundation for the Divine Talent and Exclusive Forbidden Curse magic that will be born at that time.
This fluctuation is far stronger than his Heavenly Seed back then, and he has the potential to become an unparalleled human powerhouse through forbidden spells.
Forbidden spells and Emperor are on the same level, but their combat power is fundamentally different from that of humans and Demon Beast in previous realms.
It takes seven or eight mages of the four levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced, and super) working together to fight against a single servant, general, commander, or monarch. Only a chosen one of heaven can kill such a mage alone.
Even Lu Jun now, in a one-on-one fight, could only manage a draw against the Supreme Monarch.
This is because Demon Beast have strong bodies that can withstand magic, and they possess various types of magical arts. Emperor are even more so, and they can easily use various magical arts comparable to forbidden spells, while ordinary forbidden Forbidden Curse Magic are not even enough to cast alone.
It often takes the combined power of seven or eight forbidden spells from different Magic System to contend with an Emperor.
Of course, similarly, some exceptional individuals can single-handedly rival Emperor, such as Hua Zhanhong, Michael, the chief Archangel of the Holy City, and Su Lu, the ruler of Asia.
This level can no longer be simply described as a chosen one of heaven; rather, it is a human leader, a born saint, born out of a population of hundreds of millions.
Therefore, reaching the level of forbidden spells represents the forefront of the magical realm. There is no ordinary three-level distinction, but there are differences in cultivation depth and combat power.
They are roughly divided into three tiers.
When first entering the realm of forbidden spells, before fully mastering the stars, releasing Forbidden Curse Magic requires a large amount of resources and manpower to assist, as seen with the Mu Clan's Ice Emperor.
Those who are experts in forbidden spells mostly possess forbidden spells, and some of them can cast forbidden spells independently. Most of the seven Archangel in the Holy City are at this level.
The pinnacle of forbidden spells/the ceiling of humanity, skilled in multiple types of forbidden spells, able to cast forbidden spells instantly, and has developed his own unique power of forbidden spells.
Once Lu Jun breaks through the forbidden spells, his Four Elements —Water Element, Metal Element, curse, and mind—all exhibit the characteristics of a ceiling.
Dean Xiao remarked that Lu Jun was able to take one step further than he had.
Boom!
At this moment, Lu Jun was undergoing a transformation. Within his Spiritual World, the deep, dark ocean of stars was gradually changing its nature under the influence of a dim, yellowish power from the Yellow Springs, presenting a dark yellow color and a chilling, malevolent aura.
Three pure, Supreme Water Origin Crystal fell and melted into the ocean, causing the raging, dark yellow ocean to rise even higher. With immense force, it broke through a Fortified membrane and expanded outwards into the endless Dark Universe, more than doubling its size.
The Water Element advanced to the second level of the Super Rank, and even with its momentum, it climbed to the peak of the second level in one go, surpassing the Curse, Mind- type characters.
Lu Jun wasn't surprised. With three Supreme Water Origin Crystal and a Top-Grade Water Element Heavenly Seed, it would be strange if it didn't reach this level.
Furthermore, a realization dawned on him: this Water- Heavenly Seed was named [Yellow Spring True Water]. Although the Northern Darkness Heavy Water Devouring Seed had devoured the Yellow Spring, the latter, containing the power of the forbidden realm, had become the dominant force.
Therefore, Lu Jun changed the name of his peak Devouring Seed and inherited the title of Yellow Spring True Water.
The new version of Yellow Spring True Water is primarily powerful. Due to its extremely high quality, it almost surpasses the level of a Great Heavenly Seed. According to the classification of Heavenly Seed into three grades: Sub-Celestial, Lesser, and Celestial, it can be called the Supreme Great Heavenly Seed, easily enhancing the limit of [12 times power].
Secondly, it incorporates five additional effects: in addition to the four effects of Tide, extreme yin, profound weight, and Sea Abyss, the newly created [Forbidden Realm: Yellow Springs Kingdom]!
The Forbidden Realm is a sublimation of the domain, and can be considered one of the strongest techniques under the Forbidden Spell. The most basic rule of the Yellow Springs Kingdom is to strip enemies within its range of the authority to manipulate the elements of heaven and earth and water, and to convert all water elements within its range into Yellow Springs water vapor.
Needless to say, what surprised Lu Jun the most was that the special effects of the Yellow Springs Kingdom unified the five effects and were even subtly linked to the Death Element.
Once he activates the Yellow Springs Kingdom, enemies will suffer damage from the first four effects every moment. The longer he activates it, the higher the damage will be. The key is that killing a large number of living beings can collect them into the Yellow Spring True Water, infinitely increasing its power.
Consuming massive amounts of the essence and bones of living beings might just unleash the power of forbidden spells, threatening even the Emperor!
Lu Jun was slightly pleased as he comprehended the Yellow Springs Kingdom. This special effect was not only a good move for clearing out small fry, but if it was prepared for a long time, it would be almost invincible. It was a perfect combination of offense and defense, suitable for both group battles and one-on-one duels.
Furthermore, the spirits and corpses contained in the Underworld have other uses, such as Death Element.
"That's good. Even without transforming into the Undead Emperor, I can still help Leader Hua and the others in hunting Vicious Dragon Emperor."
He was secretly delighted, realizing he had underestimated the boost to his combat power after obtaining the Heavenly Seed. The Water Element Heavenly Seed plus the Two Overturning Sea Pearls equaled a 36-fold increase in damage, unprecedented and unparalleled. Opening the Yellow Springs Kingdom would unleash boundless power.
The Calamity Talent the Call Wind Summon Rain and rain while also restraining the Vicious Dragon's rampage.
Furthermore, Lu Jun has been working on his strongest killing move, which is based on the Super Rank mind magic Peach Blossom Spring and incorporates the characteristics of multiple magic systems. It is already taking shape, and now all that is needed is the Fusion Method to harmonize it.
"A Grandmaster of the Super Rank is just around the corner."
Lu Jun was satisfied and then examined the changes in his body. His Monarch Body had been slightly improved under the nourishment of the Yellow Spring True Water, while his Supernatural Power had undergone the greatest change in the Northern Darkness Qi Sea.
The dozens of drops of Northern Darkness Heavy Water he had diligently accumulated transformed into crystal-clear, dark yellow water droplets, called Netherworld Holy Water. Its power increased by two times, and its quantity expanded to 108 drops, making it a step up from the previous level.
"The Curse and Mind-Body- Heavenly Seed Method are complete, and the Water Element Heavenly Seed Method are complete (missing one of the three beads, the Overturning Sea Pearl). The only thing missing is the Metal Element, which is a bit slow. The fourth metal for the Tai'a Sword has not yet been forged, and the Sword Sacrifice effect has not been fully stacked."
Lu Jun had already planned the latter. The Taiyi Golden Light could create a unique metallic substance that could complete the [Tai Bai Geng Jin] corresponding to Tai Bai Xin Jin. The [Overturning Sea Pearl] could be found through the Jiuzhou platform.
Lu Jun felt that he should focus most of his energy on the Four Elements that had not yet Super Rank.
In the endless darkness where the underworld overlapped, Lu Jun finished processing his cultivation and prepared to return to the altar.
We must make thorough preparations for hunting Vicious Dragon Emperor.
"Water Element Super Rank 2 [Vast Sea Constant Flow]..."
While using his teleportation ability to travel in miniature, Lu Jun pondered how to leverage his strengths.
He briefly experimented with the effects of Water Element Super Rank magic, and found that the level two effect was much more useful than the level one, especially in the ocean, where it could manipulate ocean currents.
With Lu Jun's thirty-six times the power of Water Element energy, combined with the grand formation and his Calamity Talent, it would be enough to seal off the ocean currents around the Mariana Trench.
"This requires Dean Xiao's cooperation."
Chapter 532 Preparations
After Lu Jun returned to the altar, the several Mermaid Holy Spirit present looked at this 'son-in-law' with curiosity and called out to him affectionately.
The Mermaid and daughter took the opportunity to cultivate in the distance, absorbing the water vapor dissipated during the Black Sea and Yellow Springs riots, which saved them a lot of cultivation time.
As for Ye Mei and the others, they stepped forward with smiles to congratulate her, saying that the trip had become even more successful. They were unaware of Dean Xiao's intentions in hunting down the Emperor.
After Lu Jun and the others dispersed, they submitted a separate report to Dean Xiao.
Before he could speak, Dean Xiao greeted him with a smile, saying, "That's right, the commotion you caused by refining the Yellow Spring True Water actually provided us with cover."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun looked puzzled, unsure of what it meant.
Dean Xiao carefully analyzed, "The Mermaid clan hides in the shadows deep within the Mariana Trench, unknown to the Demon Trench Sea Monster clan guarding the perimeter."
"But our abrupt arrival will likely serve as a wake-up call for them, making them wonder why a human mage would risk venturing into this Life Forbidden Zone without a reason."
Lu Jun's expression turned solemn. Indeed, the Sea Prophet clan, as the brains of the Pacific Empire, were quite intelligent, and it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't discover some clues.
They knew the foundation of the Pacific Empire and that their secret contact with the Mermaid clan was due to information asymmetry. Now that they wanted to use this information asymmetry to do something big, they couldn't afford to leak anything.
Seeing his disciple's changing expression, Dean Xiao chuckled and said, "So you refined the Yellow Spring True Water, making the Sea Prophet clan mistakenly believe that we humans came to the forbidden area to seek opportunities."
The news of the Water Element Heavenly Seed was known to the Holy City of Humanity and the Mermaid Clan, but the Pacific Empire, which had no reason to attack the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land, was unaware of it. By chance, a strategic deception was formed.
Lu Jun understood this point, and his eyes lit up. This operation had gone too smoothly; it would be a shame not to seize such an opportunity!
He said to Dean Xiao, "I want to stay and help you."
Dean Xiao listened to his apprentice's detailed account, his brows furrowed in shock and then in deep thought, and he stood there pondering for a long time.
He originally planned to send Ye Mei and his disciple Lu Jun, all of whom were at the Super Rank, out before the war began. He knew that the clash of forbidden spells Emperor was terrifying, possessing the power of the end of the world. No matter how strong Super Rank cultivator was, their life or death would be uncertain if they were involved.
However, Lu Jun's monstrous power of thirty-six times that of Water Element shocked Dean Xiao, who felt as if he had "opened his eyes to a whole new world." At the same time, the Calamity Bringer's talent made his heart skip a beat, proving its significant role.
This forced Dean Xiao to reconsider.
Just as Dean Xiao was in a dilemma and was still about to refuse, Lu Jun, with a firm gaze, revealed another trump card.
"My body is comparable to that of Monarch Demon. If I could possess the body of the Holy Sub-Emperor, I would not only gain a complete Emperor- level combat power, but my own safety would also be guaranteed."
Lu Jun was confident that his water-based Water Element Cultivation could enhance the Holy Spirit Emperor's power, elevating his combat strength to a higher level and allowing him to truly enter the Emperor.
After saying that, Dean Xiao exclaimed, "Good! Since you have the guts, how could I stop you?"
After all, according to intelligence, the Pacific Empire's Vicious Dragon Emperor is no ordinary man; his strength ranks in the middle among the Ten Emperors, above the Shark Lord, the Demon Ruin White Spider Emperor, and the Mirage Sea Dragon Ant Mother. (Original text)
Among them, the Mirage Sea Dragon Ant Mother was ranked last, and even so, it was extremely difficult for Leader Hua to kill her alone, let alone the Vicious Dragon Emperor.
Dean Xiao was calculating without being caught off guard; having more trump cards meant having a better chance of winning.
Therefore, he decided to establish a new ocean current blocking array, in addition to the ultra-long-distance Space Teleportation, which Forbidden Curse Level.
This was all too familiar to Dean Xiao. With the Water Cycle array as a foundation, the ocean current array, which only sought destruction, was even simpler.
Prior to this, Dean Xiao used the Space Teleportation to send a message to the Leader Hua in the Philippines to discuss the matter.
Lu Jun was of great help in this regard, lending his master the precious [Triangular Dimensional Mirror], which allowed for long-distance teleportation without being detected by the Sea Monster.
After Dean Xiao activated the treasure with his Half Forbidden Curse cultivation, he solemnly pointed out, "Lu Jun, this magic weapon of yours is extraordinary. After I imprinted it with a deep mark using my Space Element, it can increase its base power by an additional 1.5 times, as well as other wonderful uses."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was astonished. His Time-Space Element was already blessed by spacetime techniques and spiritual realm, so his potential was limitless. If he were to Super Rank and add the Triangular Dimensional Mirror, he would be a monster among the metal and water systems.
The Leader Hua's reply came quickly, consisting of just one word. "Kill!"
Lu Jun was invigorated, impressed by the decisiveness of the Kyushu leadership. Of course, it was also possible that ignorance was bliss, and whether Kyushu would still have the confidence to truly wage war against the Sea Demon Empire was another matter.
Similarly, the Mermaid mother stands in the center of the altar, her hands clasped together in front of her full breasts, in a gesture of silent prayer.
The altar hummed, and the surrounding sculptures emitted their own radiance, like a cluster of stars converging into a beam of moonlight, conveying a message to their Ancestor.
Soon after, the Holy Spirit Emperor replied and agreed to the battle plan.
It also had its own troubles. During its most difficult period, it was hunted down by three Emperors and almost perished. Its origin was on the verge of collapse and its life was about to end. Meanwhile, its people were wantonly slaughtered, which caused it immense pain.
If it could break free from the Pacific Empire's entanglement and give its people hope of survival, it would be willing to pay any price.
Seeing this, Lu Jun clenched his fists and helped Dean Xiao set up the formation.
Days passed by.
Dean Xiao set up the Space Teleportation array, which then teleported Ye Mei and her group, along with the Mermaid clan members, out of the Mariana Trench.
Until they left, neither Lu Jun revealed their plan. A ruler who is not discreet will lose his ministers, and a minister who is not discreet will lose his life. If things are not kept secret, they will cause harm!
Buzz buzz buzz!
On another day, the Silver Magic Array on the altar burst forth with dazzling light, and a majestic figure stepped out, with a dark face and beard, exuding extraordinary heroism.
Hua Zhanhong arrived, smiled and nodded at Lu Jun, saying with admiration, "I thought you would need another three or four years to reach the level of Emperor Forbidden Curses, but you're not bad!"
Only the Leader Hua of the Nine Provinces came; there were no other forbidden spells to assist him.
There was no other way; the Pacific Empire was closing in from three sides, and they couldn't spare any more resources. In addition, the Forbidden Curse Association stationed in the Magic City, the Demon Capital, and the Imperial Capital of the Nine Provinces, which would also serve as a check on the actions of Lu Jun and others, restraining other Emperor.
Time passed, and several days later...
The entire Black Sea trembled, and the Yellow Springs lay dormant. Centered on the Mariana Trench, countless shimmering magical runes spread out along the water flow, aided by the ability to Call Wind Summon Rain and rain, silently enveloping a vast sea area.
If viewed from above the planet, the azure Pacific Ocean near the land is surrounded by ocean currents, faintly outlining a deep blue, forbidden circle around its center.
