Kunlun Ancestral Tiger, Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox / White Tiger Totem in Hand

They're all capable of fighting Emperor.

Although Lu Jun was determined to attack the Southern Extreme Emperor, he did not intend to act so quickly. He needed to make thorough preparations first, such as eliminating all the major families, interfering with their industrial interests, taking them over to the Holy City, subsidizing the finances of the five major institutions, and even targeting the wider common people of the world.

He also plans to establish a chamber of commerce in addition to the five major institutions, to manage finances, provide subsidies to vulnerable groups and impoverished areas, and balance distribution policies.

After all, Lu Jun had fought tooth and nail in front of them, and he wasn't willing to let these nobles sit back and reap the benefits while sucking his blood.

In addition, he wanted to go to Kunlun to eradicate the forbidden area of Divine Wood Well, retrieve the stolen Twelve Golden Figures White Tiger Totem Origin, enter the Time Town of Kunlun, and push the power of curse, Metal Element, and time and space to the level of Dominator Emperor, so that his overall cultivation could reach the peak of the roof and be half a step beyond.

Only in this way can Lu Jun contend with the Southern Extreme Emperor.

He had a bad feeling that when the Far South was about to be defeated, the Ocean Great Emperor and the Sahara Emperor would definitely not sit idly by and would take action to stop it.

Although on the surface he is only one enemy of the Southern Extreme Emperor, he actually has to face Three Great Rooftops at the same time.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult."

Lu Jun shook his head and sighed, sitting cross-legged in the center of the Holy City, silently circulating his great power. Behind him, a vast expanse of chaos rose, encompassing tens of thousands of miles in radius. One world after another was opened up, manifesting a total of Nine Layered Universe, magnificent and grand, as if the will of the heavens had descended.

The Nine Layered Universe are filled with different and colorful glows. Each universe has a God standing in it. There are six universes inhabited by the Holy Spirit, which are more solid. The other three universes are quite illusory and empty inside.

His immense power soared to the heavens, and although the movement was enormous, it was contained within a small space, as if he were independent of the world, containing the cave heaven and its plane, without being released to the outside world, demonstrating his extremely high level of dimensional attainment.

Furthermore, Lu Jun released wave after wave of fluctuations that silently swept across the Holy City, gradually embedding themselves into the void and subtly transforming it into the main arena.

In just three days, the magical energy in this area increased dozens of times. The rich magical elements of various types filled the void, almost forming a viscous liquid. Endless rosy light drifted down, and thousands of auspicious rays fell.

Everyone in the Bing Ce Fu was shocked. People were being promoted every moment, and they immediately realized that it was Lu Jun who was behind it, which deepened their awe of him.

Soon after, all the strange phenomena stabilized.

Lu Jun sensed the surrounding environment and found it had suddenly changed drastically, transforming it into his own training ground. If the Authority of the Magic Plane is divided into 100%, then he had only refined less than 1%, just getting started, and he was focusing his energy on his old stronghold Holy City.

The technology of the two academies, combined with the artificial magical sanctuary, will dramatically increase their appeal to humanity.

He nodded in satisfaction, then thought to himself, "I feel that my cultivation level doesn't have to be limited to the Magic Plane; I don't need to refine the entire Magic Plane to advance to the top."

This is where it differs from the Three Great Rooftops.

Lu Jun had some guesses, perhaps it was due to the diversity of the divine titles he possessed. For example, the Death Godhead, he still had a King of Hell authority to claim in the Dark Plane, and the Summoning God title, his tentacles had spread to the Summoning Plane.

His path has long since transcended the Magic Plane, venturing into the multiverse.

"Once the Three Great Rooftops are cleared, perhaps we can organize human mages, and even Demon Beast and undead, to launch expeditions to the two planes."

A surge of ambition rose in Lu Jun's heart. He was not even thirty years old yet, and had not even truly reached his peak. There was still a lot of room for improvement.

After dealing with this matter, he informed Lu Mei and the others that he would be setting off for Kunlun.

A moment later, Lu Jun had a thought. Relying on the connection between the White Tiger Pendant and the Curse Element, he locked onto the location of the White Tiger Totem and the forbidden area of Divine Wood Well. His figure flashed, and he teleported directly across the void to that location.

The Kunlun Mountains are magnificent and vast, with towering peaks, snow-capped summits bathed in golden sunlight. The mountains seem to connect with the sky, creating a breathtaking scene filled with a profound and ancient aura. The mountains are covered with forests, lush with vegetation, and teeming with Demon Beast.

In the high plateau where the mountains rise, a dense, dark forest stands, exuding a chilling, malevolent aura that all living beings avoid at all costs.

In the heart of the dark forest, a tranquil, crystal-clear lake, surrounded by dense woods, resembles a divine eye embedded in the forest, or a bright, clear moon.

At this moment, an indescribably terrifying and mighty being descended, and the forest instantly erupted in chaos, with countless tree branches swirling into the sky.

"Town!"

Lu Jun stood in the void, his gaze fixed on the Reincarnation Lake in the center. Behind him, the Nine Layered Universe manifested, with a vast expanse of nine-colored light descending, reaching straight into the sky, shaking the stars, sinking into the earth, and moving mountains and filling seas.

Instantly, at his command, the Life Godhead shone with pure white light, and a powerful devouring force erupted, instantly suppressing the chaotic and expanding forest world, withering and turning to ashes inch by inch.

The forest disappeared, leaving behind only scorched ashes, except for the central lake.

He stared into the lake, where layers upon layers of corpses rippled, their faces and figures seemingly coalescing on the surface of the crystal-clear water, a powerful curse surging and spreading throughout the void.

As a result, the Reincarnation Lake tried to manifest several times, only to shatter into water droplets each time, and still failed to solidify into Lu Jun's death image.

Lu Jun naturally felt the power of a curse descend upon him, but before he could make a move, the Six Godheads guarding him trembled simultaneously and were easily dispersed.

"Heh heh heh, overestimating yourself."

He scoffed, reached out, and a massive hand descended from the void, uprooting the Reincarnation Lake and violently hurling it into a new universe behind him—a deep red, ominous cosmos, a sea of sin entangled with countless curses.

Once the Reincarnation Lake entered the Black and Red Sea of Karma, it seemed to be endowed with divinity, giving the entire cursed universe a backbone and rapidly solidifying.

Lu Jun's momentum surged once again, and the cursed star system within his Spiritual Universe underwent another round of expansion, evolving from 16,807 star particles into 129,600 star particles.

Chapter 651 Kunlun Ancestral Tiger, Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox

Rumble!

In the Kunlun Mountains, the earth shook and the Reincarnation Lake, which had been dormant for countless years, rose from the ground, accompanied by a cursed power that distorted the Karma time.

Roar! The landscape is ever-changing in the depths of mountains and rivers. From snow-capped peaks, plateaus, and mountains to forests, valleys, and swamps, endless birds of prey, ferocious beasts, Demon Beast are alarmed. Ten thousand demons roar, shaking the mountains and rivers.

Where the myriad dragons converge, a celestial pool stands tall, a masterpiece of nature, a place of outstanding beauty and spiritual energy. Within it lie majestic tigers, their bodies displaying traditional golden fur with black, ferocious, and flamboyant patterns.

These giant tigers exude an aura of dominance and arrogance. The deep black "king" character between their brows is profound, dignified, and noble. A powerful yellow beastly aura emanates from them, their vigorous blood flowing like the sea, causing all beasts to submit and all living beings to retreat. They perfectly embody the tiger's characteristics as the king of all beasts.

If anyone were here, they would surely recognize these tiger demons as the legendary [Kunlun Ancestral Tiger], the renowned Kunlun Ancestral Tiger, ranked seventh among the world's ten major Demonic Beast Empire and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons. (Original text)

Even after removing the Three Great Rooftops Emperor of the Far South, Bermuda, and Sahara, the fact that Kunlun Ancestral Tiger ranks seventh means that it is among the top rulers, no less than the Lord of the Pacific, the Cold Moon Eye Demon God.

The reason why the remaining three Dominator Emperor fell out of the ranking of the top ten demon kingdoms is that their cultivation and power are far inferior to the other seven sovereigns. Take the other mysterious sovereign of the Pacific Ocean for example, he was completely suppressed by Cold Moon Eye and the Deep Sea Undead Queen.

Of course, the fact that they are not known to humans is another reason.

In the center of Tianchi Lake, hundreds of Kunlun Ancestral Tiger awoke and stood up, upright, a characteristic of theirs. They resembled warriors clad in tiger-skin armor, each exuding an aura no less than that of Mid-level Monarch, with two or three even being Emperor.

They are not all purebred Kunlun Ancestral Tiger; the word "sub" needs to be added Kunlun Sub-Ancestral Tiger are mostly hybrids of Kunlun Ancestral Tiger and certain tiger kings, and their relationship is similar to that of the Heavenly Mountain White Tiger and the Heavenly Ridge Demon Tiger in the Tianshan Mountains.

In the Original Timeline, Zu Xiangtian used the power of his family to hunt down a Kunlun Sub-Ancestral Tiger in Kunlun, which severely injured Mo Fan during their duel.

These giant tigers sensed a great being had entered the Kunlun Mountains, and their expressions became serious and tense.

At this moment, twelve towering, golden bronze figures, comparable to mountains, stood tall in the depths of Tianchi Lake. At the center of the circle formed by the Twelve Golden Figures, a supreme and majestic giant tiger opened its eyes and stood upright.

His physique was taller than that of all his people, and his appearance was also different. Half of his body fur was transformed into pure white, with golden king-shaped patterns. Overall, he looked like he had impure yellow and white fur, but his aura was vast and magnificent.

The Twelve Golden Figures surrounding the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger continuously exuded wisps of Gold Qi, cleansing their bloodlines and Dominator Emperor sweeping across the land.

Clearly, the Kunlun ruler has seized the primordial golden man formed from the remains of the White Tiger Totem and all the gold in the world, intending to elevate his own power.

He gazed at the forbidden area of Divine Wood Well, feeling extremely uneasy, and thought to himself, "That cursed land has been completely eradicated. The newcomer is extremely powerful; I may not be a match for him."

This aura reminded the Kunlun Overlord of the earth-shattering battle on the eastern coast half a year ago. He knew that a ruler had been born among mankind and would come to Kunlun Mountain sooner or later. Now, the other party had indeed arrived.

He knew about that Reincarnation Lake. Although it was the origin of the Sovereign, it was full of strong aggression and was even more difficult to tame than Dominator Emperor- level beings. Since He's attributes did not match it, He could only let it run its course.

From this perspective, the inclusive advantage of human magic is fully demonstrated. If a magic master were to be born, the number of attributes that could be awakened would determine the number of primordial authorities that could be contained.

After pondering this matter, the Kunlun Sovereign decided to invite the Fox Venerable, a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, who was also Dominator Emperor- level being, but was not good at fighting and was also the Vice-Priest of the Kunlun Empire.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had close ties with the Three Kings Era of humanity before the Ancient King. At that time, humans could not dominate everything, and the Nine Provinces were ruled by humans and their allies, Demon Beast. Later, humans signed an agreement, and Kunlun ceased to interfere in the Nine Provinces.

Kunlun Ancestral Tiger complied with this agreement, firstly to give face to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and secondly because it had little interest in the human realm, which was far less resource-rich than the Kunlun Ancestral Vein.

Moments later, following the call of the Kunlun ruler, the various overlords and Emperor of the Kunlun Mountains responded and came to gather. One after another, the vast and abyss-like Emperor descended from the sky, forming a terrifying lineup no less than that of the Pacific Empire.

Buzz buzz buzz!

On the other side, Lu Jun sat cross-legged beside the forbidden zone, silently digesting the origin of the Reincarnation Lake. His aura surged, and behind him, the Nine Layered Universe and the seven divine cores sat, making him appear like a celestial king of the nine heavens or an unparalleled demon emperor.

As his eyes opened and closed, wisps of hazy, chaotic energy emanated, growing ever more profound. With the arrival of the Reincarnation Lake, the Curse, Mind, allowing the power of this composite Divine Talent to rise accordingly, making it a true trump card.

Furthermore, the Nine Layered Universe behind them are subtly merging into one, forming a vast, endless chaotic land.

Lu Jun had a premonition that the Chaos God's Eye and the Summoning Divine Spark would be born one after another. When he collected the Sacred Eye of Time and Space, his second composite Divine Talent would be born. Both of them would be the Reincarnation Double Pupils and the Six Paths of Reincarnation, with the nine systems combined into one, reaching an unprecedented realm.

He immediately stood up and looked towards the direction of Tianchi Lake in the core of the Kunlun Mountains. He clearly sensed the unusual movements of the local Demon Beast Emperors and discovered the location of the White Tiger Totem's origin.

He chuckled softly, "The Kunlun Ancestral Tiger?"

The next moment, Lu Jun took a step forward, and his figure instantly descended upon Tianchi.

Rumble!

Instantly, the dozen Emperor at the edge of the vast Heavenly Pool became alert. They looked up at the sky above the Heavenly Pool and saw a human ruler shrouded in nine-colored chaotic energy descended from the Nine Layered Universe. They themselves were extremely small in front of the Nine Layered Universe.

The Emperors trembled involuntarily.

Lu Jun arrived at Tianchi and looked down upon the many Emperors, among whom three Emperor stood out the most.

A thousand-foot-tall celestial fox, with smooth, silvery-white fur all over its body, and nine mountain-like tails swaying in the wind. It is the largest rooftop beast, standing tall and firm, with a snow-white and hard body, as if it were made of ten thousand years of ice and immortal rock, possessing powerful ice and rock attributes.

Finally, there was a tiger-like beast standing upright, its yellow and white colors intertwined, its ferocious golden aura soaring into the sky, as vast and boundless as a boundless ocean.

Immediately afterwards, the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger Sovereign and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox rose into the air, Two Great Dominators auras vast and powerful, confronting each other.

The Kunlun Tiger Ancestor spoke first, his gaze fierce and deep voice saying, "Human ruler, what brings you here?"

Beside him, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox scrutinized Lu Jun with keen interest, praising him in a soft, alluring voice, "So you are the current King of the Nine Provinces? Very impressive! You are stronger than your predecessors."

Chapter 652 The White Tiger Totem is Acquired

Kunlun Tianchi (Heavenly Lake)

Lu Jun sized up the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and chuckled, "Thank you for the praise, Fox Venerable. The achievements of the Three Kings of our predecessors were truly great; I am merely standing on their shoulders."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox smiled and said, "Our Kunlun lineage is closely related to the humans of the Nine Provinces. What brings you here is something we can discuss."

He didn't speak, but glanced at the twelve golden figures in the center of Tianchi Lake and said in a low voice, "You know why I've come."

"Impossible!" Kunlun Ancestral Tiger Sovereign resolutely refused, "I am the descendant of the White Tiger, and the most qualified to inherit its original power."

"Hehehe."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun abandoned all pretense and sneered, "As the successor of the Ancient King, I am the first in terms of qualifications."

The human and the tiger faced off, but the nine-tailed fox remained calm and whispered to the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger beside her, "I sense that the human before me is no ordinary being, not just any ruler, but perhaps even the Rooftop Emperor. We may not be a match for him."

Upon hearing this, Kunlun Ancestral Tiger was slightly startled, yet unwilling to let it be taken away so easily.

Lu Jun sized up the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger. To be honest, the White Tiger Totem itself was not the strongest among the Four Great Sacred Beasts.

But its descendants are undoubtedly the most outstanding. First came the Tianshan White Tiger, an emperor-level being; then came the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger, a ruler-level being; and finally, the Yu Lei descendant he met at the Tomb of the Fallen Kingdom was infinitely close to the emperor level.

Other descendants of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, while including some Supreme Monarch Level, none became Emperor.

The reason for this phenomenon is easy to explain. The descendants of the Four Great Sacred Beasts are undoubtedly the noblest race in the Mortal World, with the bloodline of the Supreme Monarch. They are stronger than those dragon Elemental Spirit, and perhaps only a true dragon can surpass them.

They possess the potential to become Dominator Emperor, even the Rooftop Emperor; all they lack are resources.

Unfortunately, totems such as the Black Serpent, the Moon-Eared Phoenix, and the Sea Eagle live on the land of the Nine Provinces. Not to mention that most of the resources are occupied by humans, they also have to avoid malicious harassment from humans, so their progress is naturally difficult.

However, the Heavenly Mountain White Tiger and the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger live in the resource-rich and free-competitive Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun Mountains. With their talent, they can quickly carve out a bloody path and ascend to the top Emperor.

Baxia is also a strong Baxia, clearly superior to Xuanshe. If it weren't for the blood feud between the Pacific Empire and the Totem lineage, which constantly suppressed them, they would probably have already ascended to the Emperor.

Therefore, the view that the descendants of totems cannot surpass the sacred beasts themselves is biased.

If that were the case, Lu Jun's cultivation level wouldn't have far surpassed that of all previous humans.

Lu Jun also had another suspicion: the Four Great Sacred Beasts were probably of very high racial level, after all, they migrated from the Summoning Plane. Perhaps they were Emperor when they came of age, but they just lacked time to improve and perished.

The Azure Dragon race Middle Emperor rank, while the other three are at the low-level Emperor rank. To obtain sufficient resources, they might be able to quickly advance to the Rooftop Emperor rank.

He derived this viewpoint from the Fallen Nation Beast Zhu Jiuyin from the Tomb of the Fallen Nation, and from the Imaginary Beast he created himself.

Therefore, for the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger, the resources Kunlun possesses can at most propel it to the Dominator Emperor; it will be powerless to go any further and must obtain other assistance.

He turned his gaze to the origin of the White Tiger Totem of his ancestors, attempting to refine this bloodline origin and break through the upper limit of his racial potential. Just then, the Qin Dynasty was in chaos, and he took the opportunity to go down the mountain and abduct the Twelve Golden Figures.

"The White Tiger Totem must be returned, including the portion of its essence that was taken from you."

Lu Jun spoke in a domineering tone, leaving no room for argument.

Upon hearing this, the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger's eyes turned fierce, and its golden blood surged. Each totem descendant inherited different advantages of the sacred beast, and the Ancestral Tiger's greatest strength was its physique.

Roar!

The Ancestral Tiger roared, shaking the mountains and causing the stars in the sky to tremble. It charged forward fiercely, and even the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox beside it couldn't stop it in time.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Lu Jun snorted coldly, suddenly stretched out a hand, which transformed into a cloud hanging from the sky and crashed down. Between his five fingers and palm, the Three Thousand Worlds changed unpredictably, and there was also a profound power of curse.
