The Holy City's Response / Reunited with Old Friends

The older generation of powerful figures in the Nine Provinces haven't even made a move yet!

They couldn't even beat this Lu Jun in front of them.

As for the forbidden spell, some mages and commoners who held the arrogant idea that the Nine Continents were inferior to Jinzhou fell silent. Their worldviews were completely shattered and rebuilt, and they looked at the tiny figure at the top of the 'majestic mountain range' with awe and worship.

With a splash, Dean Xiao arrived at the edge of Jinzhou, riding the waves. He barely kept up with Lu Jun's pace and his expression immediately lit up with joy when he saw the shattered remains of the Sharkman Nation Lord.

This battle was incredibly exhilarating, not only significant in its implications but also yielding substantial practical results.

The Pacific Empire launched a fierce attack, but the four Demon Emperor fled in disarray, with two Emperor falling and the losses being severe.

Strategically, the situation has shifted from a passive defensive phase to a protracted stalemate, followed by a counter-offensive.

Dean Xiao approached Lu Jun and, noticing the unusual atmosphere and the many unfamiliar gazes fixed upon him, asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much," Lu Jun said with a playful expression. "But there was an unexpected gain: making an example of them to deter those with ulterior motives in Jinzhou."

Previously, Vicious Dragon Emperor fell and toured the Nine Provinces, Japan reported on it, and the public was shocked. But nothing could compare to the profound impact of this firsthand experience.

A moment later, a Forbidden Curse Mage God rose from Jinzhou and appeared to communicate with the two, respectfully saying in a deep voice, "When will you return? Do you need our help to transport the Emperor's corpse?"

Before Lu Jun could speak, he suddenly looked towards the eastern ocean, his expression solemn.

Rumble!

The top experts from Jinzhou were unaware of this. Looking towards the Pacific Ocean, their faces were filled with shock. The sky opened up, and a pale vortex swirled to the heavens. The swirling demonic waves continued to accumulate, vast and mighty, with an indescribable Da Sheng lurking in the center.

Even though they were tens of thousands of kilometers apart, everyone suddenly realized that He was watching over them.

"The Cold Moon Eye Demon God"

Lu Jun spoke softly, yet without the slightest fear. His body slowly rose into the air, his thirteenth realm Mental Power shaking the ages, piercing through time and space, and roaming the void, confronting his opponent from afar.

Clearly, the master of the Pacific Ocean was enraged upon learning of the outcome of the battle.

At this moment, the Feng Yun over Jinzhou ceased, time and space froze, and people fell silent, fearing that Dominator Emperor- level battle would erupt at any moment, completely overturning the already severely damaged foundation of the island.

Fortunately, after a long time, the raging torrents of the Pacific Ocean gradually subsided and returned to calm. The Cold Moon Eye Demon God fell silent again and did not immediately launch an attack.

Jinzhou breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Lu Jun suppressed his aura, the restless Healing Divine Soul and Ancient King Armor Robe in his mind fell silent, and his expression became indifferent.

If the Cold Moon Eye Demon God were to act impulsively and come alone, he would dare to unleash his two trump cards, reaching the level of a Dominator, and gather a group of Asia's top experts to hunt him down.

After this little incident, Jinzhou treated Lu Jun like a plague carrier, eager for him to leave as soon as possible.

Lu Jun didn't care. As his cultivation improved, the God Ascension State didn't take much to his liking, and he could maintain it almost normally.

But he had no interest in staying in Jinzhou. With a wave of his hand, his Portable Space opened, allowing him to store the remains of the Sharkman Nation Lord.

This corpse contains a vast amount of metallic elements, including various special metals. Refining it would greatly enhance the Metal Element.

Lu Jun has struck it rich this time. With the Emperor Essence Soul, even if he had to give one of them to Dean Xiao and the Forbidden Curse Association, he could still keep the Sharkman Nation Lord for himself.

The Forbidden Curse Association had no objection to this allocation.

Moments later, as Lu Jun returned, stepping on the Sharkman Nation Lord's mine-like body, the roars of mages throughout the Nine Magic City Demon City shook the heavens.

The entire Nine Provinces received this exhilarating news: the Pacific Empire had suffered a defeat in the war, and two Emperors had fallen from their horses.

Upon receiving the news, Hua Zhanhong of the capital city laughed heartily, as the situation had improved. Those familiar with the matter, such as Feng Zhoulong of the Ancient Capital Bing Ce Fu, were even more honored.

After the war ended, Lu Jun declined the numerous requests to meet with prominent figures from all walks of life. He approached Ding Yumian and Lu Mei, smiling, and said, "I'm fine now."

Buzz! Then, the Soul Shadow into the sky from between his brows and returned to Ding Yumian's body.

Ding Yumian's body trembled, her Main Soul returned, and she smiled as she looked back and forth at Lu Mei and Lu Jun, the siblings, before easily walking away, saying, "You two chat, I won't disturb you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun looked embarrassed, while Lu Mei remained calm and said nothing.

He was about to speak when his sister stopped him, saying, "You've just been through a big battle, you should rest for a while. Besides, there are still many things to take care of."

Lu Mei returned to Jinyuan Apartment, seemingly trying to figure out how to obtain the power of the Fire Element Heavenly Seed from the Sea King Skeleton's skeleton.

Seeing this, Lu Jun shook his head helplessly. It seemed that enjoying the bliss of having two wives was still a long way off. He had only thought about relaxing by fighting a few battles, so what?

My sister is right, he's very busy right now. Besides the Emperor Essence Soul and corpse, the Kyushu government also offers rewards for this battle.

It is said that this sea level rise caused ocean Tide to submerge the coast, bringing with it treasures from the depths of the Pacific Empire. Among them, a Water Element Heart of the Earth emerged and was harvested by the South China Sea authorities.

Coincidentally, Lu Jun also received the Heart of the Earth as a reward at the Nine Provinces Forbidden Curse Association. It came from the mission of killing two Cardinal and could be changed according to attributes.

In addition, Lu Jun will gain another Heart of the Earth in this battle.

However, he desires even more forbidden spell treasures related to curses and the mind. He has mastered both of these to the Super Rank, and after experiencing the battle of Emperor, he is beginning to evolve towards Half Forbidden Curse, with Divine Talent about to be born.

Once Lu Jun refines the Forbidden Curse Level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it won't be long before a Curse Element Forbidden Curse Mage God is born.

Jiuzhou took this matter very seriously and approved the request, using a piece of Heart of the Earth to obtain a Curse Element Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Zu Family.

According to the Zu Family's forbidden spell theory, since none of the family members currently meet the standards for advancing to a forbidden spell, keeping them is useless. It's better to trade them away and help the heroes of the Nine Provinces.

Even so, Lu Jun felt the goodwill of the Zu Family.

He readily accepted it, along with the Heart of the Earth of the Water Element.

Just as Lu Jun was preparing to return to the Ancient Capital, Shao Zheng hurriedly came over and met with him.

Shao Zheng said seriously, "Something's not right. The Holy City has launched an attack. They're using the heavy losses suffered by Jinzhou and your abnormal combat power—killing Emperor Super Rank —as an excuse, and they suspect you've cultivated evil magic."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun sneered, "So you finally couldn't hold back?"

Chapter 605 Holy City's Reaction

The Holy City was indeed very anxious. Lu Jun had revealed too much in this battle: his six Calamity Talent, Fusion Magic, and his Super Rank fully-cultivated battle against the Emperor.

Damn it, how could such a monster grow up under their watchful eyes?!

If Lu Jun only unleashed his Emperor -level power after merging with the Holy Spirit Emperor during the battle in the Mariana Trench, and the Holy City was perhaps only somewhat wary of him, now that the enemy is chasing after four Emperors and repeatedly dancing in the minefield.

In the past, a single person with Calamity Talent caused the Holy City to be on high alert, dispatching an unprecedented force to suppress them. How could six Calamity Talent be integrated into one?

The Holy City couldn't understand it, so they started investigating the internal traitors and found out that the Sacred Judgment Mage Xiso and the Great Judge Official Durank were the ones who made the assessment of Lu Jun.

The investigation revealed something amiss: both individuals involved were dead, perishing in the chaos of Parthenon's Undead Emperor —what a coincidence!

What's even more coincidental is that both of them had offended Lu Jun, and considering that Lu Jun established the Bing Ce Fu in the Undead Forbidden Zone in the Ancient Capital, it's quite meaningful.

The Seven Archangels within the Holy City have held an emergency, anonymous meeting to discuss how to handle the situation.

Of the Seven Archangels, only Remiel, Uriel, and Raphael have returned.

Remiel is the most senior and the first to return, and he has been re-elected since the last term. He single-handedly managed the Holy City's various organizations, including the Holy Court, the Inquisition Court, and the Holy Shadow Mage. He is the ruler of the Holy City.

Remiel's cultivation level reached that of Twelve Wings angel, his combat power was on par with the ceiling of forbidden spells, and he could fight Emperor.

Uriel and Raphael are even stronger. The former is Sixteen-Winged Angel, at the peak of the Emperor level, standing on the threshold of the Sovereign level. Even Michael, who later cultivated to the peak, was no more than that. The latter is Fourteen Wings angel, at the upper level of the Emperor-level.

If we include the other four archangels, even without formal training, the total combat strength of seven Emperor is undeniably formidable.

Sweeping away at least dozens of forbidden spells across Europe would be no problem.

In this internal meeting, Michael announced his prophecy of return, targeting the Undead Emperor who had stolen the Healing Divine Soul. Saliel followed closely behind, aiming his sword at Lu Jun.

In some ways, the Seven Archangels are similar to the Cardinal of the Black Vatican, or rather, the Cardinal are imitating the title of the Holy City.

Every angel and Cardinal's appearance must be accompanied by a grand ceremony, either eliminating a major threat to human society or creating a world-shaking disaster, forging their majesty through their illustrious achievements.

At this moment, the Holy City was shocked, as it had actually triggered the return of two angels who had been hiding among Mortal World —a phenomenon unprecedented and likely to never be repeated.

In the past, no matter how great the disasters in magical societies (those that threatened the authority and order of the Holy City), they were always resolved with the intervention of a single angel.

Everyone realized that an unprecedented upheaval was about to unfold.

Remiel remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure you can succeed?"

Michael, almost arrogantly cold, said, "I will kill the Ancient King, even if it costs me my life!"

In terms of strength, the Undead Emperor might be easier to deal with than Lu Jun, but... Saliel said with a smile, "Undead Demon Beast have no weaknesses, but humans do. It is said that Lu Jun has several wives. Once we grasp his weakness, even the strongest will be no match for him."

Ha, Michael didn't say anything. He was ruthless and unscrupulous, and compared to Saliel, he felt much better.

Saliel, known as the angel of vengeance, is the most radical and also the most demonic among the Seven Archangels.

In the Original Timeline, Michael investigated the relationship between the Ancient King Zhan Kong Qin Yuer, and went so far as to send people to imprison Qin Yuer in the Holy City, using a tactic of luring the enemy into a trap.

In reality, he didn't do anything to Qin Yuer in the end; he only laid a trap for the Ancient King.

In stark contrast, Saliel's target is the soon-to-be-born Evil Saint King. He persecutes Mo Fan in every way possible, including Ye Xin Xia's challenge during the Goddess Selection and Mu Ningxue's transfer to Antarctica.

Later, he was outmaneuvered by Mo Fan, and in a fit of rage, he slaughtered all the members of the Shuangshou Pavilion, forcing Mo Fan to take action.

Of course, with the changing times, the goals of the two archangels have also changed.

Furthermore, people are capable of growth. Michael and Saliel's early return means they are definitely not as strong as they would be several years later in the Original Timeline, and it's uncertain whether they will succeed.

Therefore, Remiel remained silent for a moment before asking, "Do you need the Holy City's help?"

"No need," Michael said. "Every angel has their own mission, and no one else is allowed to interfere... How can this forge personal authority and the authority of the Holy City?"

"Furthermore, the world is currently in turmoil due to the various powers involved, and the Holy City needs your suppression."

"Can..."

Remiel hesitated before continuing, "The targets you're dealing with might be one entity. The two Holy Shadow Forbidden Spells were dispatched from the Ancient Capital, but there's been no news of them; they might have been killed."

Saliel scoffed, "Even better. No one can withstand the combined might of two archangels."

The Archangel Commander present all shared a consensus: Lu Jun and the Undead Emperor had truly gained power and would sooner or later overthrow their authority and order.

Michael and Saliel were both cunning and scheming individuals who did not reveal any of their plans in order to prevent certain insiders from leaking secrets.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Jun and Shao Zheng discussed how to deal with the Holy City. In general, Jiuzhou was willing to withstand the pressure on his own.

Currently, the Nine Provinces have successively defeated Emperor, their prestige is immense, and for a time their influence surpasses that of the United States, leaving the Holy City helpless.

Even so, Lu Jun felt deeply that the Holy City was in danger and decided to wait until he finished dealing with his current affairs before striking first and destroying the Holy City.

There's no reason to guard against thieves from a thousand miles away.

Meanwhile, his True Name Precognition were triggered during his conspiracy in the Holy City, but unfortunately, his usually invincible Psionic Energy failed this time.

The Holy City was shrouded in a fog; he could only know that the other party had some ulterior motives, and could not see through the truth as he had in the past.

"The essence of magic..."

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought. No matter how magical the fifth-level Mind Magic was, even with half of the Calamity Talent integrated into it, it was still within the framework of magic and was naturally suppressed by the Holy City.

He ignored it and prepared to return to the Ancient Capital, this time taking Ding Yumian with him.

Inside the Pearl Academy Apartment, Ding Yumian woke up in the morning with a fair and delicate face, her smooth skin flushed, and her large breasts trembling slightly. She glanced at Lu Jun on the bed and was in a very good mood.

She can finally walk out of this cage openly and honestly, which has imprisoned her for more than 20 years.

Lu Jun stretched, his face beaming. He looked at the mature and gentle beauty beside him, a faint sense of satisfaction filling his heart. He chuckled and said, "Let's go, let's head home."

Ding Yumian blushed, but nodded firmly.

Before leaving, Lu Jun took care of something on the side. He went to the vast battlefield at the edge of the Magic City base, chanted an incantation, and black death magic surged out, covering an area of thousands of miles.

He could sense the millions of skeletons and the wails of the dead buried in every inch of this land.

Lu Jun will not forget that the Deep Sea Undead Queen, Huang Sha Skeleton, is also a contender for the King of Hell Throne. If she takes advantage of the foreshadowing in the Silent Battlefield to launch an attack, it could cause unprecedented losses.

"Hehehe, I'll give you a big surprise next time."

Chapter 606 Reunion of Old Friends

Lu Jun kept his main goal in mind: to help the Nine Provinces fight against the Sea Demon Empire. This was not simply for the rewards and protection of the Nine Provinces, but to use the power of the collective to eliminate the competitors for the King of Hell Throne.

The moment of victory in the Pacific Ocean War will be the moment he ascends to the throne of King of Hell.

Finally, he made a trip to Hangzhou to meet with Totem Mysterious Snake and Tang Yue. The former fought against more than a dozen Monarch Level chieftains of the Sharkman Empire, including Supreme Monarch Level, and was seriously injured. The latter, however, was unharmed, but had gained a more solemn air after experiencing the trials of war.

Buzz buzz buzz!

On the shore of West Lake, Lu Jun's Life Aura surged, and milky white rays of light intertwined behind him to form a Life Bottle, the Fusion Method, which incorporated the Three Lights Divine Water of the Mermaid Holy Spirit and the Healing Magic the Di Sheng Flower, creating a starry sky that blotted out the sun, a perfect blend of holy blue and pure white.

Forbidden Curse Level Healing Magic was unleashed, with rainbow light, like silk threads, cascading down from the heavens.
