Battle Against the Sphinx / Inflicting Heavy Losses on the Egyptian Undead
The Yellow Springs Kingdom!
Facing the Supreme Monarch Sphinx, Lu Jun didn't waste any words and immediately launched Calamity Talent. His Calamity- Call Wind Summon Rain Talent was activated, causing a massive downpour to descend upon this lifeless plane.
With a whoosh, thick, dark clouds poured down a curtain of dark yellow rain, covering an area of thousands of miles and engulfing the billions of undead armies on both sides.
Lu Jun 'Water Element Heavenly Seed Yellow Spring True Water was enhanced with thirty-six times its power. Each drop of rain was condensed and heavy, as if it had the force of a thousand pounds, and contained the corrosive Yin energy. Countless raindrops fell, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens to the Mortal World.
Soon, the Ancient Capital Undead, bathed in the dark yellow rain, were unharmed. On the contrary, nourished by the Yellow Spring True Water, their aura rose steadily, their bones and flesh gained a crystalline luster, their combat power increased greatly, and their morale soared.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Egyptian Undead, bathed in the torrential rain, were torn to pieces and shattered into pieces by the falling Thousand Jun of water. In an instant, hundreds of thousands of the dead were obliterated, falling in unison like wheat being harvested.
But that wasn't all. Lu Jun's abdomen surged with a vast ocean of twilight. He opened his mouth and spat out 108 drops of Netherworld Holy Water, which transformed into a handful of water that splashed down. In an instant, it expanded in the wind and transformed into one after another, boundless streams of Yellow Springs that washed over heaven and earth.
With a deafening roar, the Abyss of Calamity trembled violently. Hundreds of Yellow Springs Dragons danced and raged, stirring up giant waves that swept across the nine heavens. Layer upon layer of Tide swept towards the massive Egyptian Undead, and the mighty currents submerged one of the armies.
In an instant, the heavens and earth were filled with torrential rain, all rivers converged into the sea, and the dark yellow Yellow Springs Ocean rose in level. All the swallowed remains of the dead seemed to naturally merge into it, silently becoming one with it.
The Egyptian Undead Empire was shaken and suffered repeated defeats. With the help of the rain from the underworld, the Ancient Capital Undead seized the opportunity to launch an attack, advancing with unstoppable momentum.
Lu Jun's every move resembled that of an ancient water god. In the past, Wu Ku could summon rain and unleash a catastrophe that destroyed cities; now, he commands all the waters and can bury a vast and boundless empire.
Roar! Seeing his subordinates suffer heavy losses, the Sphinx, with its thick mane standing on end, roared in fury, "For the great Nether God Your Majesty, kill this human!"
As soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly darted out, its figure as fast as lightning, instantly traversing dozens of miles, and heading towards Lu Jun in the sky.
Furthermore, the surrounding Undead Monarch also moved. The Dark Sword Master wielded his towering greatsword, unleashing a jet-black sword light that could cut through hundreds of miles. The Evil Child Ghost chuckled sinisterly, hovering in the void and launching soul attacks.
A major battle is imminent.
Chapter 552 Battle against the Sphinx
Abyss of Calamity.
The Eight Directions Undead Monarchs White Tomb Palace gazed at the chaotic enemy army, their breathing becoming heavier.
Although this new king is still alive and has not fully grasped the power of King of Hell, judging from his formidable fighting prowess in life, he will certainly be no weaker than the Ancient King after he becomes King of Hell.
The White Corpse King said in a low voice, "Gentlemen, the commander on the other side has made a move. Let us join in. The king is now a thing of the past, and someone will naturally inherit his legacy."
Upon hearing this, the Undead Monarch present felt a pang of sadness, then immediately became solemn, their Killing Aura surging as they shouted, "Kill!"
Thump! Thump! The Corpse of the Mountain Peak strode forward with heavy steps, each step spanning dozens of miles, crushing countless skeletons of the dead as if stomping on ants, moving like a mountain range or an earth dragon turning over.
The vast ocean released by the Yellow Springs Kingdom was barely enough to submerge its feet.
Rumble!
The Corpse of the Mountain Peak stood like a wall of sighs before Lu Jun, crashing head-on into the oncoming Sphinx Beast.
The two collided like gods grappling, causing Mount Buzhou to collapse. Terrifying brute force raged, stirring up towering waves of energy that shook the entire Abyss of Calamity plane. The ground caved in several inches, and countless cracks appeared around the colossal object.
Whoosh! With this impact, a golden meteor flew back at dozens of times the speed, its body landing on the ground, rolling continuously, crushing countless dead souls, and carving out a deep trench.
A massive golden lion climbed up from the edge of the plane, its mane in full bloom, disheveled and furious.
Buzz! It moved again, gathering Nether Radiance, becoming immortal, and transformed into golden lightning that raced wildly around the Corpse of the Mountain Peak at an indistinct speed, creating countless afterimages that formed a towering tornado.
With a hiss, the sphinx would occasionally extend its sharp claws and viciously claw at the massive mountain of flesh, leaving deep claw marks. The aftershocks tore spatial rifts in the void, and the destructive energy turned the earth into dust.
Often, when the Corpse of the Mountain Peak is attacked, its body moves towards the direction of the attack, but this cunning old lion always manages to avoid it.
The two majestic Supreme Monarch are old rivals. The Corpse of the Mountain Peak is incredibly strong, has high health and defense, the Sphinx is fast and agile, and the Nether Radiance is immortal, but neither can do anything to the other.
At the same time, the seven Undead Monarch, including Nine Nether Queen, all faced their opponents.
The Queen of the Nine Nether Queen, clad in a flowing white dress, possessed a cold and aloof beauty, exuding arrogance and nobility. Her posture was upright, and she chanted melodies that created ripples in the air. On the other side, the Ghost Soul Evil Child emitted a series of cackling demonic sounds, unleashing evil magic to defend herself.
The battlefield was divided into eight areas, and its devastating power turned thousands of miles into scorched wasteland, devoid of life. Hundreds of millions of undead armies fled in panic, attempting to leave the area where the monarchs were fighting.
But as soon as they left the range of the raging demonic energy tide, they were swallowed up by the surging Yellow Springs Ocean from all directions, their fate unknown.
Lu Jun's face was cold. Seeing that the Sphinx had been blocked, he felt slightly relieved and focused on controlling the Yellow Spring True Water to annihilate the Egyptian Empire's army.
Although he came to Abyss of Calamity for other reasons, he didn't mind helping the Eight Directions Undead Monarchs of the Dead defeat the Egyptian Undead first, and then completely subduing the Ancient Capital Undead.
After all, the existence of Pharaoh, the Nether God, also posed a great danger to him. If the Abyss of Calamity were conquered, and the opponent could freely descend upon the Nine Provinces in his true form, he would have no way to retreat and would have no choice but to fight to the death.
Lu Jun can now transform into the Undead Emperor and maintain this form for a long time, but ultimately he hasn't refined it, so it's not his true power. In a prolonged battle, he's not as good as Pharaoh, and he's not confident he can kill the Nether God.
He needs time to grow, until he possesses one or two forbidden spells, transforms into the Undead Emperor and surpasses Pharaoh, before he will have a chance of victory.
Rumble!
The Yellow Springs Kingdom swallowing more and more souls, its atmosphere growing increasingly heavy, a terrifying power brewing within. Even the Undead Monarch, looking down, felt as if he were staring into a black abyss.
Gradually, the Egyptian Undead was completely devoured, and the empty, desolate land was replaced by a sea of white bones.
The Yellow Spring True Water is the most effective counter to the undead; apart from Monarch Level, all others are utterly powerless against it.
Lu Jun sensed the power accumulating within him and fixed his gaze on the golden lion galloping across the dark yellow ocean. The eight Magic System within his Spiritual World instantly ignited, gathering boundless power.
God Ascension - Black Emperor!
His eyes shone with a different color, his lungs and kidneys glowed, and an aura surpassing that of Supreme Monarch rose up, shaking heaven and earth, yet it was far from reaching the Emperor.
But as Lu Jun clenched his right hand and let out a low roar, the Yellow Springs Kingdom was activated. The vast seawater between heaven and earth surged forth, and billions of bones were burned, transforming into a powerful force.
Instantly, the sphinx attacking the Corpse of the Mountain Peak was terrified.
The Sphinx looked up at the Great Emperor of the Underworld, who commanded the deaths of all waters between heaven and earth, and was filled with terror. It could even sense a bit of the supreme majesty of the Nether God from Lu Jun.
Then, as if it had lost its home, it turned and fled, rushing towards the Chaos Vortex at the edge of the continent with lightning speed, unstoppable by anyone.
As it ran, it uttered threats. "You despicable undead of the Nine Provinces, how dare you call for outside help! I'll spare you this time, but next time I'll call my ally, the Scorpion Snake Tribe, and come back to conquer your territory."
"Hehehe!"
Lu Jun's eyes narrowed. His goal was not simply to repel the Egyptian Undead; that would only be a temporary solution, and the enemy could come back at any time.
He wanted to kill Pharaoh's top general and completely cripple his power in order to ensure decades of peace.
Sea Abyss!
In an instant, the vast, dark yellow ocean changed, becoming even darker and deeper. The powerful currents suddenly began to swirl, and a massive whirlpool appeared, unleashing an unparalleled devouring force.
With a deafening roar, the Sphinx Beast was halfway through its rampage when the ocean beneath its feet collapsed, its limbs lost their footing, and before it could break free and take flight, a terrifying pulling force dragged its massive body along.
The Sphinx froze, its body stiff, rooted to the spot, and knew something was wrong.
The next moment, Lu Jun moved. The Yellow Springs Kingdom, which had been accumulating and brewing for a long time, erupted. He unified all the cultivation methods of the Water Element and threw a punch. The sky collapsed and an illusory Undead Kingdom crashed down, with the weight of countless skeletons.
Thump!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the Abyss of Calamity.
The Sphinx Beast, carrying the Yellow Springs Realm on its back, appeared small and slender despite its enormous size. With a snap, its waist broke off, twisting irregularly, and it lay helplessly on the ground, swallowed by the vortex.
Roar! The Sphinx struggled and roared to the sky, but it was still unable to resist the heavy pressure of the Yellow Springs Kingdom. Its bones shattered inch by inch, and its immortal body rotted and oozed pus under the erosion of the Underworld, just like an ordinary dead spirit.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Undead Monarch who were engaged in a fierce battle around them were terrified.
The Sphinx felt its life force rapidly ebbing away and howled towards the Chaos Vortex in the distant sky, "Your Majesty, Nether God of the Underworld, save me!"
The Sphinx's terrified cry seemed to reach the other side of the world.
The Chaos Vortex paused, and a majestic figure was reflected in it, looking down into the Abyss of Calamity. The Nether God, Pharaoh, had made his move. Using the Triangular Chaotic Realm as a guide, the powerful attraction pulled the Sphinx Beast from the ocean and flew it towards the Chaos Vortex.
Nine Nether Queen's expression changed slightly. Could it be that the other party had escaped unscathed?!
Chapter 553 Severely Damaging the Egyptian Undead
In the Abyss of Calamity world, Lu Jun watched as the cooked duck was about to fly away, his eyes grew colder, and his heart was filled with rage.
Without uttering a word, he controlled the stars, releasing vast magical energy. Behind him, a dark red glow illuminated half the sky, with hundreds of brilliant Star Track intertwining and the seven major constellations outlining a continuous celestial Star Palace.
Super Rank Curse Magic: Book of Life and Death: Reincarnation Lake!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lu Jun cast a curse in God Ascension manner, and behind him, a crystal-clear moon rose slowly amidst a Star Palace, revealing a tranquil lake that reflected the Sphinx Beast in the distance.
Then, on the mirror-like surface of Reincarnation Lake, the image of the Sphinx was reflected.
The golden lion in the image was no longer arrogant and heroic; its body was swollen and bluish-purple, its eyes bulging, as if it had drowned and been swallowed by the Yellow Springs Kingdom. A bloodstain appeared on the neck of the corpse, as if it had been beheaded by the Tai'a Sword.
At this moment, the Sphinx Beast, which was soaring into the Chaos Vortex, suddenly felt a chill that penetrated to its very bones, and a life-or-death crisis erupted.
The Sphinx followed the source of the danger, looked back, and saw its own death reflected in the Reincarnation Lake in the sky. It was immediately horrified, and a sense of impending danger stimulated its brain.
"Oh no!" it cried out in terror, "Your Majesty the Nether God, save me! He... he's going to kill me!"
Pharaoh has not yet made any move.
The moment the curse manifested, a mysterious power descended, filling the entire Abyss of Calamity plane.
Crack! Suddenly, the Chaos Vortex that had been running smoothly stopped abruptly, as if something was stuck in it. Then, ripples appeared on its surface, as if it was about to collapse.
The massive, illusory projection of Pharaoh Nether God, flickered, and a muffled groan could be faintly heard. "The Abyss of Calamity is rejecting me, Sphinx and the others, hurry!"
The enormous golden-faced lion was terrified. It sensed that the attraction of the Chaos Vortex was weakening, while the devouring power of the Yellow Springs Kingdom below was increasing dramatically, as if this entire abyss of Abyss of Calamity was helping the Sea Abyss.
Lu Jun released the curse, consuming a small portion of the demonic energy within his body and shortening his God Ascension State. However, he also sensed a subtle change, as if he had transformed into the Lord of the Abyss of Calamity. With a thought, he could invoke the vast power of the chaotic space to empower himself.
The Abyss of Calamity was originally an ultimate war weapon forged by Ancient King. If there are Forbidden Curse Level Magic Tool, it is a forbidden spell Magic Tool, having devoured the lives of forbidden spells in the past.
Now that Lu Jun has used it, he has blocked the input of the Nether God's power, increasing the chances of keeping the Sphinx alive.
The unexpected events didn't stop there. Seeing that even the supreme monarch, the Sphinx Beast, had suffered a setback, the other Egyptian Undead Monarch felt heavy-hearted and, sensing the danger, all rushed towards the passage they had taken when they set out— the Chaos Vortex.
The Eight Directions Undead Monarchs barely managed to fight the Dark Sword Master to a draw, but they couldn't stop the enemy from escaping.
Rumble!
Before long, one powerful Undead Monarch after another stepped over the Sphinx and plunged into the Chaos Vortex. In fact, due to the haste, the enormous body of the Nether Frog Monarch blocked the passage, while the Evil Child Monarch, entangled by the Queen of the Nine Nether Queen, and the Sphinx, pulled by the Sea Abyss, were left behind.
"No!" The Sphinx Beast, seeing its escape route blocked, roared in fury, "How dare you, you bastard, block the Pharaoh's path! Get out of the way!"
By this time, it was no longer the Nether Frog Monarch's attempt to move away. The intense attraction of the Chaos Vortex drew it in, its body being submerged inch by inch. Although the speed was fast, Lu Jun seized this fleeting opportunity.
He snorted coldly, reached out with both hands into the void, drew the Tai'a Sword, and a shimmering White Tiger Military Tally leaped out from above his head, absorbing the golden energy of the weapons from the war between the two Undead Empire, and enhancing his Killing Power eighteen times.
Clang!
Lu Jun brandished the Tai'a Sword, unleashing a towering white sword light that slashed down with unparalleled sharpness and destructive aura. It struck down with lightning speed.
With a splatter, the Sphinx Beast screamed in agony, utterly helpless as its head was severed, and a beam of blood, dozens of feet long, shot from its neck, splattering golden blood.
Thus, the Supreme Monarch's vitality remained tenacious; he had not yet died. His enormous headless body took a step, still trying to return to the Chaos Vortex.
Splash!
But Lu Jun gave him no chance. With a thought, the vast Yellow Springs Ocean surged with layers upon layers of ninefold waves, sweeping the Sphinx away and burying it deep within the Yellow Springs Kingdom. The Heavy Effect were activated, eroding its last bit of life.
Glug glug!
When the Sphinx's remains resurfaced, its head had been stitched back together by necromancy, Death Element magic Necromancy Revival. A trace of blood remained on its neck, and its entire body, soaked in the Yellow Spring True Water, appeared strangely swollen and bluish-purple.
This clearly confirmed the death foretold in the Book of Life and Death and Death and the Reincarnation Lake.
Seeing this, even Lu Jun, the murderer, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, realizing that the Curse Element was becoming increasingly bizarre.
Damn it!
From the depths of the Chaos Vortex, the roar of the Nether God echoed.
Lu Jun retorted sharply, sneering, "If the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, why would he let you live until dawn! Those who offend Jiuzhou, though far away, will be punished!"
This is quite audacious; King of Hell himself issued a decree to decide life and death, and even the mere Nether God Pharaoh could not save him.
Not content with slaying a Supreme Monarch, he set his sights on the evil child being entangled in a battle with the Nine Nether Queen. This fiend was a Great Monarch's ghost; otherwise, how could he have fought the Nine Nether Queen to a standstill? Both were Undead Monarch manipulated the mind.
Similarly, the Evil Child was one of Pharaoh's Great General. He was Pharaoh's greatest enemy in his youth, and even after his death, Khufu still feared him and imprisoned him. It was from him that Pharaoh learned Undead Magic, which enabled him to dominate the world.
Lu Jun stared at the evil child, his Supernatural Power -Profound Eye and Imagination Pupil blazing forth, his vast Mental Power descending and forcefully invading the void—a smiling infant.
Phew!
The evil child's figure flickered erratically, wandering through the void and dodging everywhere. At this moment, his figure stopped, frozen in place, and let out a painful scream. His transparent soul body was on the verge of collapse.
