Master of the Beast Mound / Zhulong?! Zhu Jiuyin!...

Rumble!

In the dark and void of the universe, layers upon layers of magnificent storms surged through space, as if the end of the world had arrived and the world was collapsing inch by inch.

At this moment, the two Sun-Moon Time Pool, the sun and the moon, hanging high in the sky, suddenly went out, and a vast black mist rose up, covering them and vaguely outlining a majestic shape in the void, like a Tianshan Mountains that stretches across the starry sky.

"A snake shadow?!"

Lu Jun was shocked. This body that reached the sky was even larger than the Great Wall. Although he had not seen its full form, he could clearly see some of the slenderness of a snake's body on the body of the newcomer. It looked familiar, like the incarnation of a black snake.

Beside her, Queen Di Sheng Flower's flawless face was solemn. She had been in this area for so long, yet she had not discovered that such an unparalleled and supremely powerful being was lurking there.

The two were pushed aside by the terrifying creature. Despite being quasi -Emperor exuding a vast aura, they appeared as insignificant as ants before it!

"This body and aura... Dominator Emperor? Could it be that the Azure Dragon, after its death, resides in the Tomb of the Fallen Nation?"

Lu Jun couldn't understand. The original text clearly stated that the Azure Dragon's remains were the Great Wall, the totem's original power was scattered throughout the Nine Provinces, and the Azure Dragon's soul condensed into Little Loach that Mo Fan wore around his neck.

Only when all three are combined can the Azure Dragon be successfully resurrected and battled for a period of time.

Regardless, Lu Jun reacted quickly, immediately putting on an apologetic expression and saying, "Master of the Beast Tomb, we did not intend to cause damage on your territory. I am an outsider who has passed through the three gates of hell, and I hope to have an audience with you."

He inwardly complained that he had originally planned to rescue Queen Di Sheng Flower and then cultivate in this unique sacred land to rapidly improve his Life Element, Death Element, and even Time-Space Element.

The result is that it's someone else's territory.

Lu Jun thought about it and agreed. The location where the Nine Fallen Nation Beast was lurking just happened to coincide with the place of creation of the Di Sheng Flower. What a coincidence!

Right now, he only hopes that the Nine Provinces' Fallen Nation Beast will let him go leniently, considering his status as a supreme being who has passed through three trials and his relationship with the Chinese people. Otherwise, he will have no choice but to break the seal on the Ancient King Armor Robe and forcibly escape.

Rumble!

In the boundless void, a majestic, winding body coils in circles, like Jormungandr, the serpent that devours the world, its immense size and boundaries impossible to discern.

Gradually, Lu Jun felt the head of the Da Sheng lower slightly and approach, and in the pitch-black, boundless area in front of him, the outline of a huge human face was faintly outlined.

A human face?! He frowned slightly, quite puzzled. What kind of creature had both a snake's body and a human face?

The majestic being spoke, its voice booming throughout the void like the Big Bang, saying in a deep voice, "Hehehe... According to the rules, I won't do anything to you, but this Naihe Flower absorbed my Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures energy while I was asleep."

"If you want to take her away, you need to do one thing for me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun frowned, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't fallen to the worst possible situation. He looked helpless, knowing that contracting an Emperor Summoned Beast wouldn't be so simple, and sure enough, this unexpected turn of events occurred.

In short, he won't give up on Di Sheng Flower. The Triangular Dimensional Mirror 'Summoning System ability forcibly elevates Di Sheng Flower to a higher level, making her a true Emperor-level combatant.

If he were to combine it with the Myriad Beast Mark, he couldn't believe how powerful it would be if the God Ascension, the Myriad Beast Mark, and the Fusion Method were all combined—enough to allow a single person to slay Emperor.

Queen Di Sheng Flower, standing nearby, was quite distressed upon hearing this, as she indeed felt that her actions were inappropriate.

Before Di Sheng Flower could speak, Lu Jun said firmly, "No problem. She has formed a contract with me, so she is my companion. Her affairs are my affairs!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Di Sheng Flower couldn't help but glance at her contractor. Her warm, holy blue eyes revealed deep emotion, and her previously goodwill towards him instantly soared to the highest level.

Lu Jun noticed Di Sheng Flower's emotions but remained unfazed. How could he not be proactive in winning people over at such a crucial moment?

He sighed inwardly, thinking that although he still believed in treating people sincerely, times had changed, and nowadays there was more scheming and more loyalty involved.

The Da Sheng within the void remained unmoved. Seeing that he had agreed, it spoke in a low voice, "It's actually very simple. I need you to resurrect me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was astonished: Resurrected?!

Why should a dignified lord of a fallen Tomb of the Fallen Nation be brought back to life? Some beings are not necessarily better off alive than after death.

"Death is not my path."

The Da Sheng seemed to have guessed Lu Jun's thoughts and seen through everything about him. It said in a low voice, "Don't think it's easy. I know you have the ability to Healing Divine Soul, but even Resurrection Technique have their limits. She can resurrect those of the same level, but can she resurrect beings stronger than her?"

Lu Jun had originally intended to rely on his ability to Healing Divine Soul, was shaken to his core upon hearing this.

Death is indeed not the path for Emperor Tomb of the Fallen Nation. He realized this when he stepped into the area of the Beast Tomb's towering tombstones and sensed the auras of more than a dozen Emperor there.

Otherwise, if these Emperor truly chose the path of extreme death, perhaps more than a dozen contenders for the Emperor-level King of Hell Throne emerge at once.

If such a horrific scene were to occur, Lu Jun shuddered at the mere thought. It was even more terrifying than the competition for the Evil Saint King. At most, the Evil Saint King was only threatened by figures like Mother of Medusa and the Red Demon.

The Emperor of the Tomb of the Fallen Nation seem to be digging into the power of their own bloodline, tracing back to the most ancient primal beast power. Most Ancient Beast Undead are like this, otherwise why would it be called a Beast Tomb instead of the Undead Kingdom?

Of course, what surprised Lu Jun even more was that the mysterious Da Sheng in front of him was Dominator Emperor in life, and if he was alive, was he Rooftop Emperor?!

For a moment, he was so overwhelmed with emotion that he no longer cared that his two trump cards had been exposed.

The Summoning Plane is indeed unfathomable. Even the Tomb of the Fallen Nation, which is only a regional overlord, has the Supreme Rooftop Emperor guarding it. In fact, if we take the entire power of the Tomb of the Fallen Nation Kingdom out, it would be comparable to the Pacific Empire.

He hesitated. Could he truly help such a great being be resurrected?

Seeing this, the majestic being said with a smile, "Don't underestimate yourself. Your greatest strength is not just the Resurrection Technique, but the divine power of creation formed by the fusion of the two fundamental sources of life and death, plus the power of time."

"It was because you possess these two crucial powers that I spoke up for you."

He pondered for a moment and said, "I won't take advantage of you. If you can help me resurrect, even if it's just to confirm that it's helpful, I will guide you on how to cultivate the power of life and death, yin and yang, and the great power of time and years."

Lu Jun hesitated, muttering to himself, "Is this just empty promises? If you really have that kind of power, why would you need my help? You'd Immortal and Undying by now."

"What?" the Da Sheng chuckled softly, "You don't believe me?"

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, the universe shone brightly. Both were so blinded by the sudden, dazzling light that they closed their eyes. After a while, when they opened their eyes again, they saw the true face of the Da Sheng and were so shocked that they were speechless.

Chapter 588 Zhulong?! Zhu Jiuyin!

"This... this is?!"

Lu Jun stared in disbelief. Before him, a colossal human face, obscuring the sky, hung high in the universe. Its eyes shone brightly, like two blazing suns, and boundless light overflowed from it, illuminating the world.

Behind the giant human face, however, stretched a majestic and winding serpentine body. Its red form towered higher than the Kunlun Mountains, resembling a ring around the world, coiling in concentric circles that encircled the two of them in the central universe, like a central courtyard of heaven and earth.

Upon seeing this scene, Lu Jun was reminded of ancient myths.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness North, records. "Beyond the Northwest Sea, north of the Red River, there is Zhangwei Mountain, also called Zhong Mountain. There is a god there, with a human face and a snake's body, red in color, a thousand miles long, with straight eyes and riding upright. When he closes his eyes, it is dark; when he opens them, it is bright. When he blows, it is winter; when he exhales, it is summer. He neither eats, sleeps, nor breathes. He summons wind and rain."

The creature described in the myths of the Nine Provinces looked exactly like the Da Sheng before him.

No wonder... The words of Pang Lai from the original work flashed through his mind: the Fallen Nation Beast to the Nine Provinces, whose eyes could destroy the Eight-headed Serpent.

Indeed, although the Candle Dragon is not as classic as the Four Sacred Beasts such as the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, it is indeed one of the ancient totems of the Nine Provinces, and its status may even be stronger than that of the Azure Dragon.

Furthermore, the most powerful feature of the Candle Dragon is its pair of eyes that can change between day and night. It is no wonder that it can destroy Supreme Monarch across vast distances of time and space with just a glance.

However, when he looked at the supreme body of the Candle Dragon, it was slightly different from the description in the ancient scriptures. Although it was red, it was not crimson, but a dark red interwoven with jet-black patterns, a color of deathly stillness.

Furthermore, Lu Jun looked around and the dark, void universe had transformed into a universe of light, but this light was not the gentle, vast, and undeniably blazing radiance of the sun; it didn't even qualify as the light of dawn.

Rather, it is the light of dusk, filled with the desolate feeling of the sun setting in the west.

He stood in the void bathed in the glow of twilight, exuding an ancient and nostalgic atmosphere, yet also a sense of decay and death. He felt no warmth from this light, but rather a sense of annihilation, like the Nether Radiance.

It is far inferior to the life-giving lake of the Sun-Moon Time Pool, certainly incomparable in terms of power.

A sudden realization flashed through Lu Jun's mind. "Zhulong is dead! What appears before him might be called Zhu Jiuyin."

In some myths of the Nine Provinces, Zhulong is even comparable to the creator, while in other myths, Zhulong is not called a dragon, but Zhu Jiuyin, the master of the underworld.

The former is clearly of a higher status, being one of the ancestral dragons, while the latter has lost the sacred and domineering nature of the dragon and gained more cunning and treacherous traits, making it significantly inferior.

Zhu Jiuyin slowly closed his eyes, and the twilight light that had enveloped the Tomb of the Fallen Nation disappeared, returning the environment to its previous state of darkness and gloom.

He said in a low voice, "As you can see, I have fallen."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but ask, "Lord Zhulong, aren't you most skilled in the power of Yin and Yang, and possess the great power of time? Why can't you Immortal and Undying?"

Zhu Jiuyin said with a self-deprecating tone, "Boy, the world is far beyond your imagination. If it weren't for your status as the inheritor of the White Tiger Totem, I wouldn't have said it. Some formidable enemies can even completely sever the concept of 'existence'."

" In Summoning Plane. The World Lord Tree died, and the Good and Evil Flower perished. Some of us, the lineage of totems, were unwilling to leave our homeland, while others left to escape the calamity and went to other planes."

Lu Jun was shocked; he hadn't expected that the Four Great Sacred Beasts— Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise —were deserters.

Well, that makes sense. Of the Four Sacred Beasts, only the Azure Dragon can be considered a true Dominator Emperor level; the others are still at the peak of the Emperor level.

Actually, it's not bad. The range of Emperor is extremely wide. Even the weakest Black Tortoise alone can easily defeat two or three ordinary Emperor at the same time. However, compared to Zhu Jiuyin, it seems inadequate, not to mention Zhulong when he was alive.

Zhu Jiuyin continued, "For thousands of years, I have been trying to resurrect."

He glanced indifferently at the trembling Queen Di Sheng Flower beside him and said, "I unintentionally found the seeds of the descendants of the Other Equinox Flower lineage, Naihe Flower lineage are attempting to merge the two together to recreate a portion of the bloodline of the original good and evil Ancestor Flower."

"The Good and Evil Flower and Evil wields the power of Yin and Yang. Its benevolent aspect, the Naihe Resurrection Technique, is unparalleled in the world, countless times more terrifying than Resurrection Technique that Healing Divine Soul. Even if I cannot consume this rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that embodies both Yin and Yang, it might still allow me to regain some of my abilities."

"It's a pity we failed. We can't go back to ancient times, and the Good and Evil Flower can't be reproduced. They still bloom in pairs."

"Then I created the Sun-Moon Time Pool, but some things, once lost, are gone forever. I cannot reverse life and death on my own, so I need external help, which is your help."

After hearing this, Lu Jun suddenly realized that there was no such coincidence. Whether it was the appearance of the Di Sheng Flower Manjusaka or the Sun-Moon Time Pool, it was all done deliberately.

Lu Jun had to admit that his trip to the Tomb of the Fallen Nation had uncovered many ancient secrets, things that could probably only be known from the mouths of the dead.

Perhaps it's not just totem beasts; the Demon Beast of the Magic Plane also have a vague connection to the Summoning Plane.

As for the various ancient myths of the Nine Provinces, it is not that the Chinese civilization came first and then the myths came into being; rather, the legends of creatures such as the Azure Dragon came first and then the Chinese civilization came into being.

The secrets of the Tomb of the Fallen Nation have finally been largely revealed, something that was never mentioned in the original work.

"It's all about individual circumstances."

Lu Jun understood that only someone like him, who had mastered the Life and Death Origin and was highly skilled in the Summoning System, would venture into these places. Mo Fan, on the other hand, was also trying to gain an advantage by going towards the Evil Saint's Death, the Dark Plane, and the Azure Dragon due to the source of his own abilities.

"With your strength so great, how could I possibly help you?"

He was silent for a moment before speaking.

"You don't need to worry about that," Zhu Jiuyin said. "It's enough if it has some effect. You don't need to revive me immediately. You can try again after your cultivation is fully developed."

"Moreover, although the sun and moon, and life and death, are all forms of the Yin-Yang principle, they are ultimately different."

Lu Jun nodded. Since Zhu Jiuyin had already gone this far, he decided to give it a try. If it worked, he could forge a bond with such Da Sheng as Zhu Jiuyin.

Putting everything else aside, he's now part of the Ancient Demon Gate, so summoning a portion of the opponent's power isn't unreasonable, is it? A single glance from him can instantly kill a wounded Supreme Monarch, so with a little more effort, severely injuring Emperor should be feasible, right?

If he were to break through the forbidden spells of Summoning System now, he would dare to summon Zhu Jiuyin, who is at the peak of the Dominator Emperor. Even if he were to revive half of him, he would still be Rooftop Emperor, exuding immense prestige.

This is far superior to any Azure Dragon or White Tiger.

White Tiger Pendant: You scumbag, could you have gotten back on your feet without me?

Buzz buzz buzz!

Lu Jun took a deep breath, stepped forward, and his hands flashed with milky white and jet-black light respectively. The two merged together, transforming into a chaotic gray that soared into the sky!

He had given it his all this time, pushing the Life and Death systems to their limits, layering various techniques, and tilting his magical energy. At this moment, after the Fusion Magic, the mighty pillar of light was comparable to that of Super Rank.

Chapter 589 Blessings for the Disaster-Stricken, Heaven Official's Blessing.

Splash!

Lu Jun's body radiated a thick black and white light, which gathered into a magnificent pillar of light that soared into the sky. The power of life and death surged, reaching its peak before falling like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, creating a dreamlike and beautiful rain of light in the boundless darkness.

This life-or-death situation covered a vast area, almost a hundred miles, which was already his full strength.

Unfortunately, Zhu Jiuyin's world body was too vast, filling the void of the Tomb of the Fallen Nation, with only the human face part bathed in black and white light rain, like a shower washing a face.

Buzzing.

A moment later, the dark red color on Zhu Jiuyin's face changed slightly, gaining a more vibrant rosy hue, which was the surge of active energy. Once the light of life and death dissipated, it returned to its original state.

Lu Jun asked, "How is it? Is it effective?"

"Not bad, it works." Zhu Jiuyin responded with a booming voice, then added with a hint of disdain, "It's just that your cultivation level is too low, making it difficult to maintain for long. If you could reach the Forbidden Curse Level's life-and-death power, it would be much better."

Upon hearing this, he curled his lip. Forbidden spells are not so easy to cast, and besides, with the foundation of the Zhu Jiuyin Master, the effects of ordinary Forbidden Curse Magic would probably be difficult to cover the entire body.

That's enough.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Jiuyin summoned the Sun and Moon Pool of Time. The dark universe once again presented the wondrous sight of the sun and moon shining in the same sky, their light illuminating Zhulong's face, appearing both bright and dim.

He said, "You should focus on your cultivation here first, and wait until your Life and Death, and spacetime systems reach a certain level before we talk about it again."
