Creating Living Beings, the Power of Life and Death / The Undying Path, the Holy Shadow Organization

Upon hearing this, Kuye was startled and stopped overthinking. He nodded and said, "I understand, it's easy."

"And..." The woman seemed to realize there was a lot more to say, but she still spoke coldly, "That Ice Element Calamity-stricken was exiled from the Tianshan Mountains ten years ago, things have calmed down for so long, let's just get rid of him now, nip it in the bud."

"Yes!"

Kuye was used to it; that's just how this organization was—they couldn't stand the light of day and acted without any scruples.

He clarified the three objectives of his trip, in descending order of importance. The latter two were not dangerous, but rather troublesome and too complicated.

As expected, the woman said sternly, "You know the principles of our Holy Shadow Organization. If this is exposed, we'll pretend you never existed."

There are also unusual movements from various forces, including the Five Continents Magic Association, the United States, Greece, and the United Kingdom, all of which have turned their attention to the Nine Continents.

At this very moment.

Lu Jun from the Ancient Capital was watching in Feng Zhoulong's laboratory.

Old Feng took out a pair of gloves and said excitedly, "The Fusion Magic is complete! The first experimental sample has been made. These gloves can store one spell and then release another spell to make the two perfectly fuse together."

Seeing this, Lu Jun's eyes revealed a strange light. Although it was far from the unity of all laws that he had envisioned, the initial fusion had been achieved. In other words, it was Mo Fan's rough version from the Original Timeline, which was much earlier than the original story.

Without hesitation, he took it and put it on his hand.

Feng Zhoulong explained, "First, use external aids to get used to Fusion Magic. Once you're familiar with it, you'll gradually be able to cast Fusion Method independently without the aid of the fusion gloves."

"Finally, I will extract the fusion substance from the Bei Jiang and the Four-Colored Demon to combine all your Magic System into one."

Lu Jun exclaimed, "Excellent! The magical society is about to enter its next magical revolution!"

Immediately, he couldn't wait to experiment with the effects of the Fusion Magic.

However, Lu Jun possessed numerous Magic System, with dozens of skills that could evolve into hundreds or even thousands of abilities. For a moment, he was at a loss as to which two Magic System to practice first.

He pondered for a moment and decided to start with the two systems of Life and Death, the two most incompatible systems. With a certain expectation in his heart, he wondered if the fusion of Life and Death, the unity of life and death, was the shortcut to immortality?!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Lu Jun was unsure, but decisively combined them. With a thought, Star Track intertwined, and the initial-level Life Element Primary Magic Healing Light and the initial-level Death Element Primary Magic Necromancy Revival were released one after the other, so fast that they were almost indistinguishable, as if the two appeared simultaneously.

In his right hand was a soft, milky-white ball of light, with a hint of emerald green flowing within it; in his left hand was a pitch-black, deathly ball of light, with a wisp of gray lingering at its core. The two should have been locked in a fierce confrontation, but with the aid of the fusion gloves, they slowly merged together.

Chapter 563 Creating Life, the Power of Life and Death

Sizzle!

In the Ancient Capital's Bing Ce Fu, Lu Jun clasped his hands together, and the black and white energies intertwined smoothly, like the rotating yin and yang fish of Tai Chi, end to end, giving rise to a chaotic and transparent radiant energy, filled with the meaning of Life and Death Reincarnation, and the vicissitudes of time.

"This is..."

He carefully comprehended this power, which was simultaneously derived from both the Life and Death. It possessed the dual effects of Healing Light and Necromancy Revival, and thus, when combined, a magical ability emerged: the ability to create flesh and blood beings!

The level Primary level five Death Element magic, Flesh Stitching, is only effective against corpses. However, when mixed with a trace of False Life force from the Primary level five Life Element magic, it comes back to life. Isn't this creating a living being?!

Lu Jun gasped in shock; the power of life and death was indeed terrifying, involving taboos of God.

Of course, due to the nature of False Life, these magically created beings exist only briefly, like a fleeting moment, and their intelligence is clearly flawed.

Click, click!

He hesitated for a moment, then a thought struck him. A chaotic, transparent ball of light formed in his hand, from which countless strands of bright red blood emerged, and jagged, densely packed white bones protruded. The ball of energy expanded into a fleshy sphere mixed with bone fragments and blood.

As the fleshy ball writhed, its head and limbs extended, its torso took shape, and its internal organs were constructed. An Evil Dog was born, over ten feet tall, covered in blood, with bone spurs all over its back, exuding a powerful aura and possessing the combat strength of a peak- Servant-level Demon Beast.

Woof woof woof, the Evil Dog howled and barked wildly, almost out of its mind, its fierce gaze sweeping around, even its eyes filled with Killing Intent as it looked at the Creator.

Before the Evil Dog could cause any disturbance, a dark Silver Light descended, and an immense force pressed it firmly to the spot, rendering it unable to move, leaving it only with impotent rage.

About an hour passed, and the servants Evil Dog grew increasingly agitated, as if a great calamity was about to befall them. Even the fiercest of them had no choice but to lower their heads to Lu Jun and whimper and beg.

Lu Jun remained cold and completely ignored him.

Finally, the Evil Dog grew increasingly agitated, glaring with hatred, howling and barking angrily, or pleading, using every means at its disposal until it realized that the situation was beyond repair. Only then did it desperately charge at the silver mountain phantom, sparing no expense.

But Lu Jun didn't even give the Evil Dog a chance to fight to the death, suppressing it as always.

Bang!

Immediately, the magic reached its limit, the Evil Dog froze on the spot, its Life Aura dissipated, and its body exploded. This hasty and deformed life thus came to an end.

Just when Lu Jun thought the life-and-death Fusion Magic was over, a ghostly figure creaked and stood up from a pile of bones and flesh. The bone hound ghost was unsteady on its feet, with only a little strength, barely Servant-level Demonic Beast.

"Huh?"

Lu Jun was surprised. He hadn't expected that the life he created Necromancy Revival as an undead after death. This life-and-death Fusion Magic truly made the most of every bit of power, even though its strength plummeted after revival.

Little did they know, Feng Zhoulong and the others were so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.

"The void created all things, and Nuwa created humankind."

Feng Zhoulong muttered to himself, swallowed hard, and suddenly realized that Lu Jun should have been able to create artificial humans directly, but he compromised by choosing Evil Dog to avoid their uncanny valley mentality.

A hint of worry rose in his eyes. "Isn't Fusion Magic really a Pandora's box? The random combination of various magical abilities will always produce some incredibly overpowered effects."

However, Feng Zhoulong also knew that this was just Lu Jun's special nature. The extent of Lu Jun's Magic System was shrouded in mystery, and each Magic System was extremely abnormal and beyond common sense.

We must not throw the baby out with the bathwater of Fusion Magic, just as we did at the very beginning of magic's creation.

And isn't this exactly what he wanted to see? With a large pool of talent, a few exceptional geniuses will inevitably emerge, surpassing the limits of Dominator Emperor.

"Life, death..."

At this moment, Lu Jun fell into a state of sudden enlightenment, muttering to himself.

Yes! To some extent, the dead are also a state of life. Lower-level dead are just beginning to live from death, while higher-level dead, such as the Nine Nether Queen and other monarchs, have developed intelligence. Although they are still essentially dead, they already possess some characteristics of living beings.

Lu Jun thought of the ancestral bloodline of the Night Thunder Dream Beast. From this perspective, the journey from birth to death and then from death to birth is not so simple.

Whether the three King of Hell could actually do it is another matter, but the path they took was the ultimate death, to ascend to the King of Hell Throne.

"What if we used this power on ourselves?"

He had a sudden inspiration. To be honest, this kind of Fusion Magic was better than nothing. Whether it was the Healing Light or the Necromancy Revival, the effect was at least equivalent to a warrior. While it was amazing to create a living being by fusing the two, it was rather useless to create Servant-level beings.

Even if the ability to create life is linked to the input of magical energy, with the current cultivation levels of both the Life and Death systems, creating a ruler-type creation with a lifespan of ten years would be quite a challenge.

So this isn't the real way to play.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Without hesitation, Lu Jun manipulated the black and white energies with both hands, merging them into chaotic light that fell upon him, bathing him in it.

Then, he felt a strange change. His body, which was as vigorous as a vast ocean and as tough as an immortal monarch, suddenly froze. The metabolism that was going on every moment continued, but some kind of dissipated substance was frozen in place.

This is vital energy, which can also be considered as lifespan.

Lu Jun was using the Fusion Method to unify the Life and Death systems, and he was able to stop the consumption of his lifespan.

He sensed this power flowing through his limbs and bones, gradually dissipating, and then his lifespan began to slowly ebb away again.

"As expected... being able to allow the creatures I create to survive can extend my lifespan; this magical energy shall be called Immortal Substance."

Seeing this, Lu Jun seemed both surprised and delighted, and gave it a name, which could also be called the Power of Life and Death, or the Substance of Immortality.

Having experienced the Fusion Magic life and death, Lu Jun's mind was blown; the magic's effects were not limited to that.

For example, if one day he encounters a formidable enemy, his physical body is destroyed, and only his soul survives, and even the Resurrection Technique to Healing Divine Soul is no longer usable, then he can use the magic of life and death to create his own body, which will be 100% compatible.

"Indeed, even a single Healing Divine Soul or Resurrection Divine Art has its limits. It is useless for those whose bodies are completely destroyed, useless for those whose lifespan is about to end, and useless for those whose souls have dissipated. Only the unity of life and death is the true path to immortality."

Lu Jun's thoughts were racing. The limitations of the Resurrection Technique in the original work were vividly demonstrated. When the Queen of the Riden Royal Family of Spain died, she sought Parthenon but could not obtain it. She had to obtain the Snow Lotus of the Tianshan Mountains to prolong her life. Leng Qing was seriously injured, so the Resurrection Technique had little effect. Mu Bai's soul returned to the Dark Plane, and he could not be resurrected either.

Even though Yi Zhisha's body was torn to pieces, she was Resurrection Technique using Undead Magic.

Now that Lu Jun has mastered both the origins of life and death, and has also Fusion Magic, he has a sliver of hope for immortality.

Of course, the power of life and death is not yet perfect. Lu Jun silently sensed the effect of the life and death energy nourishing his body. It had an immediate effect on his flesh and blood, but its effect on the soul was relatively average.

Chapter 564 The Path to Immortality, The Holy Shadow Organization

"It's not enough for just the physical body to Immortal and Undying; the soul must also keep up..."

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought, thinking of curses and the Mind Element. Both were similar to the power of life and death, and were two sides of the same coin of the soul, representing good and evil respectively, making up for the shortcoming that the soul cannot be permanent.

If Fusion Magic abilities and fuse four elements, the path to immortality will become clearer, tentatively named [Yin Yang Life and Death] (flesh and soul).

In addition, Lu Jun has eight Magic System, including Summoning, Time and Space, Metal Element, and Water Element. He plans to awaken Chaos after the forbidden spell is completed, and unify the three elements into one, tentatively named [Time-Space Reincarnation]. How can immortality be achieved without the power of time and space?

The final element, metal and water, can be considered to represent Yin Yang Life and Death and death, and the balance of strength and gentleness. This can also be considered a branch of the principles of yin and yang.

Of course, if there is extra capacity to advance the forbidden spells, one can also awaken the plant, fire, and earth elements to combine them into [Five Elements Yuan Dynasty]. Everything depends on future developments.

Then the three major systems merge into one and sublimate, All Laws Return to One, Immortal and Undying.

In a daze, Lu Jun seemed to see a clear path ahead, with immortality just around the corner. The fusion of Magic System also encompassed the origins of the Dominator Emperor, such as the Life Fruit Position, the King of Hell Throne, the White Tiger Totem, and the Eye of Time and Space. During this process, many foundations were combined, and in terms of cultivation, he would ascend to the Rooftop Emperor in one fell swoop, and even the True God of the plane.

For a moment, Lu Jun's heart was filled with excitement. Intermediate Level awakening, he had been intentionally planning to cultivate Magic System and seek the opportunity to Emperor. Now that the Fusion Method had been born, he was finally about to reap a bountiful harvest.

"No rush, no rush, we can't be reckless. First, we need to master all the major Magic System at the Super Rank, and then we can begin to integrate the Four Elements of life, death, curse, and mind to lay a solid foundation."

When Lu Jun came to his senses, he barely managed to suppress his excitement and silently prayed to himself.

Laying a solid foundation for the fusion of Yin Yang Life and Death at the Super Rank is not actually difficult. It should be noted that before the Ancient King Armor Robe and the Healing Divine Soul Emperor-level Origin awakened their two Super Rank elements, they temporarily resided in the Curse and Mind Element, and there is a subtle connection between the Four Elements.

Lu Jun had just mastered the Fusion Method and was having a great time. In addition to the fusion of Life and Death magic, he also experimented with the fusion of Magic System such as metal and water, Summoning Time-Space, and Curse, Mind, and was intentionally practicing.

However, these were all minor experiments. Lu Jun experimented with more low- and Intermediate Magic, and the power increased two or three times. This made him even more eager for the scene of the Super Rank magic fusion. He wondered how much his combat power would rise at that time.

In short, Lu Jun couldn't wait to try it out. Remembering the release of the Stardust Magic Tool, he sneered and sharpened his knife, waiting for the lamb to be slaughtered.

"Old Feng, you're good. I will definitely keep my promise. Here's what we'll do: once the money from the sale of the Stardust Magic Tool arrives, I will order the establishment of a Fusion Magic Experimental High School in the Ancient Capital's Bing Ce Fu to promote Fusion Magic."

Lu Jun praised Feng Zhoulong and gave the order as a matter of course.

After all, Fusion Magic should be taught from a young age, as young people are most receptive to new things, and he can cultivate his own lineage of power through this process.

Feng Zhoulong, beaming, said with a smile, "It's good that you remember."

"Try to produce more fusion magical artifacts and distribute them to others. I'm not short of money."

Lu Jun urged, " With the Fusion Magic born, my sisters Lu Mei, Tang Yue, Ding Yumian, and other close associates should naturally have a share too; everyone should get one."

After inspecting the Bing Ce Fu, he returned home. Professor Yuan's super Water Cycle Great Formation covering the northwest was still under construction and wouldn't be completed anytime soon. The project was too massive and required the support of the Jiuzhou Official.

Fortunately, given Lu Jun's current position and wealth, he can make progress, so there's no need to rush.

Lu Jun returned to Abyss of Calamity and continued his secluded cultivation, focusing on mastering the Summoning System Star Sea Star Seed and solidifying his Time-Space Element in preparation for breaking through to the Super Rank.

During this time, his True Name Precognition was triggered, and he repeatedly observed the reactions of various forces to the domestic production of Stardust Magic Tool. He found that most forces actually backed down, which greatly disappointed him. It seemed that the idea of using enemies to test Fusion Magic had failed.

"Ah, as expected, these years of fighting in the north and south have earned us a great reputation, directly scaring away most of our enemies."

Lu Jun sighed, feeling utterly bored. The Yangtze River Alliance, the Asian Magic Association, Egypt, and other stakeholders had restrained themselves and compromised, and the Ancient Capital was at peace again.

Little did they know he had no self-awareness whatsoever. He was a five-elemental Super Rank, a half-step Emperor in God Ascension State, and now he had mastered Fusion Magic.

Originally, it took eight Super Rank to reach the Emperor level of combat power, but now the combat power has increased several times. The Emperor is still unclear, but the first-tier single-element forbidden spell might be able to contend with it.

A forbidden spell of Super Rank, how monstrous!

But then Lu Jun continued cultivating, and his True Name Precognition was triggered again. His ninth-level Mental Power (8+1) surged out, and he traveled through the void. From tens of thousands of miles away, he glimpsed the unique appearance of the Holy City in the snow mountain and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He overheard the conversation between the woman from the Holy City and Kuye, and suddenly realized what was going on.

"The Holy City has its eye on us?!"

Lu Jun sneered, unconvinced. He had already grown powerful enough to be confined within the Nine Provinces, which was equivalent to a country. The Holy City wouldn't dare to defy the world and attack him.

Therefore... we can only send some shady characters to cause him trouble.

He peered into the image of the stern woman and the mixed-race man, Kuye, pondered carefully, and, connecting it to the information in the original work, murmured, "So it's these two, the Holy Shadow Organization."

The Holy Shadow Organization is a mysterious institution under the Holy City's Inquisition Court, hidden in the shadows of the Holy City, hence the name "Holy Shadow."

This group of people is incredibly audacious and powerful; any one of them possesses forbidden spells. They were adopted and carefully nurtured by the Holy City from a young age, undergoing numerous trials before being accepted into the family.

Their role is quite simple: to deal with enemies that the Holy City cannot directly confront, acting as a covert operation. Once discovered, even the Holy City itself will not acknowledge them.

Therefore, the Holy Shadow's methods are very dark; he would rather kill a thousand than let one person go free, and the number of people unjustly killed is ten times that of the truly evil ones.
