By Any Means Necessary, Fury Unleashed / Slaying the Holy Shadow Mage

Just like the Peru Ice Scribe that Lu Jun defeated in the past, who had reached the pinnacle of Ice Element, was at the peak of the Super Rank, and also possessed Supernatural Power, but in the end he did not have Ice Element Heavenly Seed, and could at most fight against Mid-level Monarch.

Now that Lu Jun has all the necessary techniques, the only thing left is his cultivation level; it will be difficult for him to achieve a significant leap in strength.

Unless the third stage of the Fusion Method, the starry seas of the eight major Magic System will be integrated into one.

However, Lu Jun also felt that there were many difficulties, and estimated that it would take until the Forbidden Curse Level was reached to find a way to do it.

"Forget it, I'll focus all my energy on improving my cultivation. Star Sea Peak Magic Weapon, Triangular Dimensional Realm. Give me six months, and I'll reach the Eighth Elemental Super Rank Perfection."

Lu Jun sighed, sat cross-legged in the Abyss of Calamity, and devoted himself to meditation and cultivation.

Meanwhile, the Holy City's Holy Shadow Mage Kuye, set off. He was originally going to leave, but unexpectedly, the Asian Magic Association's leader Su Lu, perished and the Black Dragon Emperor disappeared without a trace in Europe. As the Europe, the Holy City naturally had to investigate.

Any Emperor or forbidden spell ceiling within the territory poses a potential threat to the Holy City!

Unknown to outsiders, Hunter Leader Huo Bai had told them that in addition to Su Lu's Deathly Aura, there was also a very strong residual Psionic Energy at the scene.

The Holy City suspected that another force had intervened in the matter, Seven Archangels did not believe that a mere Emperor could cause the complete annihilation of Su Lu and his group.

Naturally, some people speculated that it might be the same Undead Emperor three years ago.

Only He could move about freely at the Emperor-level.

Based on this conjecture, Kuye had no choice but to set off as soon as possible, accompanied by a partner named Simmons, thanks to the increased danger of the mission.

He wasted no time, took a plane, and headed to the Ancient Capital. The two checked into a hotel, preparing to inquire about the Undead Forbidden Zone deep within the Ancient Capital.

After a moment, Kuye received detailed information and said thoughtfully, "The day belongs to humans, and the night belongs to the dead. It wasn't like this before. In the Abyss of Calamity incident led by Cardinal Salang, someone clearly saw the figure of the Ancient King."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems this is the result of human restraint. Emperor with such wisdom, and in the forbidden zone of the Ancient Capital Undead Forbidden Zone, truly is Him, the Undead Emperor of the Ancient Capital's Undead."

Simmons said with a cold look, "Lu Jun and the Bing Ce Fu are also very suspicious. They were able to freely enter the territory of an Emperor, set up an institution, and then the Stardust Magic Tool was born, which crushed the magic artifact market in the Nine Provinces in one fell swoop."

"The question is, where did he get so many raw material essences? Unless they were provided by the Undead Empire!"

Kuye said in a low voice, "You mean, Kyushu colluded with the Undead Emperor!"

The two exchanged a glance, suspecting they had guessed the truth, and both revealed their anger. Parthenon's Healing Divine Soul had been taken away; how dare these lowly commoners of the Nine Provinces do such a thing!

After a moment of silence, Kuye and Simmons asked, "What should we do next?"

Simmons said coldly, "Of course, we'll infiltrate the Bing Ce Fu to investigate."

Kuye asked, puzzled, "You're looking for evidence?"

"How could that be!" Simmons said with a cruel smile, "I remember Lu Jun has several close associates. He has an older sister named Lu Mei. We can just grab her and interrogate her, or use her as a hostage to force Lu Jun to compromise."

Ah... Kuye was speechless, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Simmons sensed Kuye's thoughts, scoffed, and said arrogantly, "Why should I, the Holy City, explain my actions to others? Besides, this is what our Holy Shadow Organization does; we'd rather kill the innocent than let one guilty person go free."

The two need to travel to the outskirts of the Undead Forbidden Zone. To avoid revealing their identities and being discovered by the Undead Emperor, they need a local guide.

A few minutes later, Simmons, following directions from the locals, found the Short Man, who was said to have a good reputation.

That's right, it's the same Short Man who led Lu Jun, Mo Fan, Asha Ruiya deep into the Undead Forbidden Zone to find the Weiju Village.

In the Original Timeline, the Short Man should have sacrificed himself, losing his wife and children. Now, Lu Jun has turned the tide and survived, continuing to work as a guide. Moreover, due to the greatly reduced danger in the Undead Forbidden Zone, his job has become much easier.

He had another child, and to earn money for baby formula, he took on more and more clients. He built up a good reputation, and now he lives a comfortable life.

Soon, the two arrived at the edge of the Ancient Capital's unique city wall and were stunned to see a huge crowd of people. There were probably hundreds of them, all sorts of people, mostly ordinary people, like a tour group.

"You're here?" The Short Man glanced at Kuye and his companion, and said with a soft "Oh? Foreigners?"

The others also gave them strange looks and whispered among themselves, "Tsk tsk tsk, the Ancient Capital Undead Forbidden Zone is getting more and more famous. It's become even more impressive after the Bing Ce Fu launched the Stardust Magic Tool. Even foreigners are coming."

"It is estimated that the tourism industry for the dead will become a pillar industry of the Ancient Capital in the future."

"Not only that, aren't those bustling metropolises in the east going to be submerged by the Pacific Ocean? At that time, industries will relocate, and the Ancient Capital will rise again."

Simmons felt quite uncomfortable being scrutinized by everyone, like a monkey in a zoo, a flash of anger crossing his eyes.

Fortunately, Kuye saw this in time, pulled his companion aside, and whispered, "Keep it up, Simmons. Don't let trivial matters delay important matters. Why bother with these lowly people?"

"Eastern outcasts!"

Simmons muttered a curse under his breath and ignored the people nearby.

Gradually, people got bored and stopped paying attention.

The Short Man stood before the hundred people and said loudly, "Remember, although there is not much danger outside the Undead Forbidden Zone, you must obey my orders and not act on your own."

"You know Marshal Lu, right? When he entered the Forbidden Land of the Dead, he had to follow my orders. Are you all stronger than Marshal Lu?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar. "It must be a lie! The Master of the Bing Ce Fu, the great man who slew Emperor!"

Simmons and Kuye were invigorated; they hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.

Chapter 579 Ruthless and Furious

Ancient Capital.

Simmons listened intently as the Short Man boasted about his relationship with Lu Jun, his gaze hardening. He felt this was a potential breakthrough.

He seemed to have glimpsed the earliest connection between the Undead Emperor and the Nine Provinces, which could have started with the Abyss of Calamity incident, spearheaded by Lu Jun Mo Fan others.

In truth, given his status as a Holy Shadow Forbidden Spell user, he would never have looked down on such insignificant figures. However, the two were simply too outstanding. Lu Jun aside, Mo Fan Parthenon's Demonization, his Supreme Monarch combat power, and his mastery of forbidden techniques made him a formidable enemy of the Holy City.

An investigation is necessary.

"Moreover, during the Nationalist government's time, the truth was revealed in Kyushu: Mo Fan personally jumped into the Abyss of Calamity, and returned alive."

After analyzing it, Kuye found it quite reasonable. The Ancient King's historical status and the people's sentiments in Kyushu were unparalleled. Given his rational behavior, cooperation would be the best outcome.

The two were excited. Jiuzhou, the Undead Emperor, and Lu Jun had revealed clues. All the clues connected and made sense.

Just as the Short Man was boasting, Simmons suddenly spoke up, "You said Lu Jun once ventured deep into the Undead Forbidden Zone, what did he do?"

Upon hearing this, the Short Man was slightly taken aback. He glanced over and saw that they were two foreigners. He frowned slightly. He had followed Lu Jun all the way back then and naturally knew the truth. Asha Ruiya, the Black Vatican, the Kunlun Water, the resurrection of the Ancient King —but what did these things mean to foreigners?

He ignored him and was about to turn and leave.

Simmons sneered, his eyes surging with immense Mental Power. It didn't affect the ordinary people around him, and went unnoticed by anyone, but it crushed them with tremendous force.

Rumble!

In an instant, the Short Man's Spiritual World roared and trembled, the high-level star river was almost severed, and he stood pale and swaying in the distance.

The Short Man was shaken and realized that these two were not simple people, and that they harbored ill intentions towards Lu Jun.

He immediately wanted to flee the place and report to Han Ji of the Magic Association.

But it was too late. Simmons and Kuye grabbed the Short Man from either side and deliberately shouted, "What are you waiting for? Let's get going!"

Others, not seeing clearly, also blindly urged him on.

At this moment, the Short Man was filled with fear and unable to move. He could only be manipulated like a puppet and lead the group on their way.

Half a day passed in a flash, and the hundred-person group happily entered the Undead Forbidden Zone, while only the guide, the Short Man, was caught in a terrible predicament.

The Short Man originally didn't want to reveal his secret, but he couldn't withstand the relentless interrogation and torture from Kuye and his companion. Moreover, Simmons had a deep understanding of his greatest fears and threatened him with his wife and children, leaving him no choice but to comply.

This was a piece of cake for the two Forbidden Spell Holy Shadow Masters.

While being interrogated along the way, the group successfully arrived at Bing Ce Fu, the former site of the six dangerous villages, which is now filled with high-rise buildings.

Simmons grinned maliciously. "Find out that Lu Jun is colluding with the Undead Emperor. Capture him, or threaten those around him."

Kuye glanced at the dying Short Man and asked indifferently, "So he's useless now?"

"Haha, no rush." Simmons said contemptuously, "He has one last use. He has some connections with Lu Jun. We can use his name to meet with the person in charge of the Bing Ce Fu. Whether it's Lu Jun or someone else, we can capture them in one fell swoop. I'm too lazy to look for him."

"Great idea!"

The Military Commander of the Bing Ce Fu is located on the top floor of the most central high-rise building, controlling all affairs of the entire force.

At this moment, Lu Mei was meditating and cultivating when she suddenly heard the guards outside the door say that someone was requesting an audience, and that it was an acquaintance of Marshal Lu.

"Lu Jun's friends? Let them in."

Lu Mei had some doubts, but she didn't hesitate and decided to meet with him. Under the premise that Lu Jun would be a hands-off manager, Jun Yaojin would be in charge of the execution, while she would provide guidance on the overall direction.

Soon, three men pushed open the door and walked in.

The leader was a short Chinese man with a pale face and a dull gaze, but his appearance was indeed familiar. The other two were foreigners with deep-set eyes and hooked noses, who were looking around the office with great interest.

Lu Mei recognized the Short Man as soon as she saw him. She sensed something was amiss with the actions of the two foreign men and was about to ask when she saw the Short Man struggle to move his lips, silently uttering two words in despair. "Run!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Mei's expression changed slightly. The three elements of earth, fire, and wind surged around her, with chaotic light flowing around her, vaguely about to be unified into one.

Unexpectedly, the two foreigners didn't take it seriously; instead, they observed her actions with great interest.

Kuye smiled. "So this is Lu Jun's Sister? She's definitely a big fish."

With his Divine Talent to Action Precognition, he knew exactly what Lu Mei would do a few seconds later, so he looked down at her with a playful attitude.

Divine Talent is to forbidden spells what Super Rank Supernatural Power and high-level domains are—it is the sublimation of all forbidden spells. However, the difference is that since Divine Talent contains the word "divine," it possesses the authority of rules, such as absolute forbidden realms, which have a very high priority and whose abilities are unsolvable.

Since Kuye mastered the ability to Action Precognition, it's as if he's gained a godlike perspective, making him invincible, and his heart has become unconsciously filled with arrogance.

Lu Mei eyes were like fire, and a bright brownish-red flame covered her whole body. Jiang Feng possessed her, and a dark wind howled and surrounded her. The Wind Element Heavenly Seed, and the necklace around her neck shone brightly. She then used her Supernatural Power to recreate chaos, and four-colored light surged and swept around.

But the next moment, her face turned horrified. The attack that should have destroyed the entire Bing Ce Fu had vanished without a trace, leaving no ripples in the surrounding space.

Forbidden Curse Level! Definitely Forbidden Curse Mage!

Lu Mei couldn't help but feel despair. What had she done to deserve this? She had attracted the attention of Forbidden Curse Mage wanted to assassinate her... No, this must be aimed at her younger brother.

On the other side, Simmons reached out to manipulate the elements within this small space, but when Lu Mei unleashed her killing intent, his hand trembled and he was forced back a step.

"This magic... what is it?!"

Simmons never expected that his Divine Talent [Nature Endowment] would be shaken. Sensing the perfect fusion of the other party's Four Elements, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became fervent. The Bing Ce Fu indeed had a great secret.

Just when the two were confident of victory, Lu Mei suddenly relaxed, her beautiful face calm as she stared straight ahead.

At first glance, it seemed like they were being watched from behind them, but then Kuye realized something was wrong—they were being looked from behind them!

Suddenly, a faint sigh came from behind, spreading throughout the office. The voice, seemingly calm yet brimming with Killing Intent, said, "You chose the path to hell, not heaven, you've chosen the path to heaven yourself. Holy Shadow Organization, heh heh heh!"

Kuye was horrified. When had someone been standing behind them without them noticing? What kind of cultivation level was this? Why had his Divine Talent [Action Precognition] failed?!

However, the two reacted quickly. Kuye's face was full of ferocity as he pulled out a magnificent light blade and slashed behind him. Simmons did the same, with blood-red vines surging out all around him.

But Lu Jun was faster than them, his heart filled with boundless rage. The Holy City was a cancer, its methods were unscrupulous, and it even dared to lay a hand on his family!

Chapter 580 Slaying the Holy Shadow Mage

Lu Jun's eyes were icy cold; the Holy City's disgusting and despicable methods had thoroughly enraged him.

Over the years, he has encountered many enemies, but none of them have harmed those around him, not even the Black Vatican, which makes the Holy City infamous.

An unprecedented surge of tyranny welled up within him, and he razed the Holy City to the ground, slaughtered the Seven Archangels, swept across Europe, wiped out all forbidden spells, and utterly broke the backbone of the West.

Fortunately, Lu Jun's Mind Element possessed the great power of True Name Precognition. With his superb Mental Power at the eleventh realm, the two Forbidden Curse Mages could not hide from him. They sensed it when they entered the Undead Forbidden Zone and came out of their seclusion in the Abyss of Abyss of Calamity in time to set up an inescapable trap.

"The Flawless Vajra Domain!"

Before the attacks unleashed by the two Forbidden Curse Mage arrived, Lu Jun's chest shone with light. The immortal golden nature permeating the magnificent Golden Palace exhaled a breath of Gold Qi containing supreme sharpness. It mixed with the dazzling immortal light around him and soared into the sky, transforming into a sky full of golden light that spread infinitely in all directions.

Buzz buzz buzz!

In an instant, Kuye and Simmons fell helplessly into this boundless and vast world of Vajra, where heaven and earth were covered with an immortal golden luster, like a vast Sea of Light.

Moreover, their two Half Forbidden Curse spells froze halfway before they could even be unleashed, trapping them both within an eternal time-limited barrier, rendering them completely immobile.

Lu Jun's eyes flashed with Killing Intent. The moment he encountered the enemy, he unleashed his God Ascension State and Fusion Magic, combining the two Supernatural Power of Metal Element and spacetime to create an Immortal and Undying independent space that encompassed the two of them.

On the one hand, they did not want the Holy Shadow Mage to escape, and on the other hand, they wanted to avoid the aftershocks of the forbidden spell battle from destroying the surrounding area and razing the hard-earned Bing Ce Fu to the ground.

At this moment, Kuye looked at Lu Jun, who had transformed into God Ascension, and felt despair. This overwhelming aura that shook the heavens and earth was like facing an Emperor-level. Which bastard had given information that Lu Jun had not truly ventured into the Forbidden Curse Level?!

Even if a single forbidden spell can be cast, it's still no match for Emperor.

But what he couldn't understand even more was why the Divine Talent had stopped working.
