Blood Abyss Curse Seal / Advanced Curse Magic

He wasn't afraid of waiting, but he himself had a lot of areas that needed improvement, especially in the Space Element and Summoning System, which were at the Intermediate Level. He hoped to master them before the National Prefecture War.

The latter signed the Night Thunder Dream Beast, which is powerful and, combined with the fourth level [Borrowed Magic], has squeezed into the ranks of aces. However, its Nebula Magic Power is not durable enough.

Afterwards, Lu Jun stayed in the Demon Capital Tower for secluded cultivation. The environment there was quite good, with a high concentration of magic, which accelerated his cultivation.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

More than half of the second semester of Mingzhu's freshman year has passed. Originally, Mo Fan Golden Forest spent a lot of time training in the forest for half a year, but now that he has completed all four departments, he is preparing to go into seclusion to cultivate to a high level, and then come out to challenge the Chief of the Fire Element [Ding Yumian]!

Indeed, Ding Yumian grew without restraint, making rapid progress. She successfully broke through to the advanced level with her Fire Element and recently defeated the former chief 'Dongfang Lie' with her Mind Element, successfully reaching the top.

The past few months have been incredibly eventful for the Fire Institute, with many talented individuals emerging and competing against each other.

Lu Mei, the older sister from Jinyuan Apartment, has successfully mastered the Rock Element constellation thanks to her existing experience and can now cast the High-level Magic [Eye of the Rock Demon] on her own.

Lu Jun remained aloof from all of this, focusing solely on his cultivation, which resulted in significant improvements in his strength.

Chapter 184 Blood Abyss Curse Mark

Guangzhou Tower.

Lu Jun secluded himself for three months, and under the nourishment of the White Tiger Pendant, his Summoning System and Space Element progressed smoothly, both reaching the Intermediate Level Two.

To be honest, advancing two minor thresholds in just a few months is quite extraordinary for an ordinary Intermediate Mage.

The effects of the second level of the Intermediate Level Summoning System Contract Summoning are not significantly different. [Summon Back] relies on the innate connection to instantly summon the Summoned Beast back to the summoner's side within a certain range to protect the Summoner.

In a way, it can be considered a form of Space Magic.

As for the Intermediate Level Two Space Element [Space Rhythm - Time Lag], it is a rather practical spell.

It can slow down all incoming magical attacks, or Demon Beast from mages and demons; if Mental Power is high enough, it can even stop time.

This skill can be used up to the Super Rank.

As the two related Magic System improved, Lu Jun felt that the bottleneck of the Fourth Realm was becoming looser, but unfortunately he still couldn't break through it.

This threshold, like a dam, firmly blocks the flood of spiritual energy.

However, it's better to guide than to block. As Mental Power accumulates and secretly brews Tide, it will eventually break through the dam in one go. Then, all the previous accumulation will be transformed into progress, and he may be promoted to the peak of the Fourth Realm.

A moment later, Lu Jun emerged from seclusion refreshed. His strength had increased horizontally, and his methods had become more diverse. However, if he wanted to achieve a significant increase in combat power, the key was to have a method to integrate all his abilities.

His hopes were pinned on the [Demon Relic].

He had just received a notification from Feng Zhoulong that the top-grade Curse Substance had been produced, so he rushed to the laboratory.

Inside the room encased in silver-white tempered glass.

Lu Jun saw a dark red relic Beads held up on the counter, like a blood-red sun suspended in mid-air. When he got close, his heart trembled and his blood boiled involuntarily.

Feng Zhoulong, standing beside him, proudly introduced, "The Curse Substance [Blood Abyss] perfectly preserves the abilities of demons and vampires; its sole effect is [God Ascension]."

"By burning the magical energy of the starry Nebula in the Spiritual World, one can enter God Ascension State, where multiple magical energies are combined into one, increasing combat power several times over."

"At the same time, it automatically grants demonic physique, equivalent to the terrifying self-healing ability and physical strength of a vampire, and also possesses some vampire abilities. The drawback is that the activation process requires a massive amount of magical energy to maintain, roughly consuming the energy of a Nebula with each breath."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's eyes gleamed. Here it comes! A Demonization with a lesser cost, consuming not Soul Power but demonic energy, so the backlash is practically nonexistent.

Conversely, the increased combat power is only a few times greater, far less than the terrifying power of a high-level Demonization capable of fighting Supreme Monarch.

In his view, he could barely defeat a Sub-Lord, and considering that a breath takes about six seconds, his cultivation level was only about a minute for a real man. To think that he could kill a monarch in a short time was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

"Not bad. Being able to unleash a trump card and sweep through the Commander-level group has already exceeded my expectations."

Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction. It was mainly a regular ability that did not require any price to be paid and could be activated at any time. The physical regeneration of Commander-level vampire made up for his biggest weakness.

Furthermore, Blood Abyss possesses immense growth potential, absorbing a vast amount of vampire essence to elevate itself, and can be used up to the Super Rank, the vampire marquis of the monarch, whose combat power needs no further explanation.

"It's somewhat like Curse Body Borrowing Technique, automatically acquiring the body of Demon Beast of the same level, only the price is a bit high."

He stroked his chin, patted Feng Zhoulong on the shoulder, and laughed, "Old Feng is amazing, he perfectly meets my requirements."

After spending several months together, the two had become quite familiar with each other and their attitudes had become more casual.

Feng Zhoulong chuckled, then excitedly said, "That's nothing. The important thing is that I've discovered the phenomenon of multiple magical energies coexisting, which is a prerequisite for [Fusion Magic]!"

"Fusion Magic?"

Although Lu Jun knew about this, he still pretended to be surprised.

"That's right. You need to know that no matter how many Magic System a mage has, they can only use one magic system at a time. They can't be combined. At most, they can only use simple combinations like wind aiding fire or water aiding Ice Element."

Feng Zhoulong explained, then paused and added, "Moreover, once you've exhausted the magic energy of one Nebula, even though there are other Nebula of different types, you can't convert their magic energy to use. Fusion Magic can solve both of these problems."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun nodded. The reason why mages cannot fight Demon Beast one-on-one is that their use of magic is too textbook-like and rigid.

He asked curiously, "Then doesn't what I did count Fusion Magic?"

"That's far from it. What you're describing is a mixture and coexistence, like the multi-attribute effects of Spirit Seed such as snow water and dark lightning. True fusion is a fusion of essences. Do you believe in words like burning water, boiling wind, and howling thunder?"

Feng Zhoulong scoffed.

Finally, he looked at Lu Jun with burning eyes and said, "Your Curse Substance is very special, achieving multi-element interweaving. It can serve as the best experimental model for Fusion Magic. You have a bright future ahead of you. Consider this a free enhancement for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jun felt a chill run down his spine. How could this guy be just like Professor Yuan, drooling over his body?

Is this a common characteristic of researchers like the Great Magician?

But Lu Jun didn't care. To win over the two magicians, sacrificing a little 'appearance' was only right.

Feng Zhoulong instructed, "One more thing, refining the Blood Abyss is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Take this chance to absorb the Star River Vein, which will greatly increase your chances of advancement."

"Alright, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Lu Jun carefully placed the blood-red Beads into the box and solemnly said, "Thank you."

"It's alright." Feng Zhoulong waved his hand and said, "I should thank you. You showed me the possibility of Fusion Magic. Once I've made some progress, I hope you can come and assist with the experiments."

"No problem."

Lu Jun readily agreed, and then couldn't wait to return to his seclusion.

He flew back to Magic City, and as soon as he arrived at the Pearl Academy, he immediately applied to withdraw the right to use his premium benefit, the [Star River Magic Tool].

Now, Lu Jun is in his second year of university, and a year has passed since he became the chief student. The benefits he has accumulated have a full three months' worth of usage time.

Next, he spent 100 million to buy the Star River Vein. Everything was ready except for the final push.

Returning to Magic City after three months, Lu Jun heard about all the things that had happened at the academy during his absence.

Mo Fan went into seclusion to break through to the advanced level, while his sister Lu Mei reached the release level of the advanced level of the Rock Element. With two high-level Earth Element Magic Tool, they were invincible in both offense and defense, and quickly became the ace.

I'm planning to take on some challenging missions with my sister Leng Qing to earn money.

Seeing that everyone was working hard to improve themselves, Lu Jun also used the Star River Magic Tool, the Star River Vein, and the Blood Abyss to cultivate, striving to break through the High-level Curse.

Inside the Jinyuan Apartment, he sat cross-legged on the sofa, a warm jade bracelet on his wrist that radiated a powerful Warm Spring that far surpassed that of the White Tiger Pendant. In each of his hands, he held a dazzling diamond and a dark red Beads.

Chapter 185 High-level Curse

"White Tiger, add more!"

Of the three treasures, Lu Jun's mind first focused on the White Tiger Pendant, drawing in the Servant Essence Soul, one General Essence Soul, and one Commander-level Remnant Soul, all of which were poured into the dark green Nebula within his Spiritual World.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Curse Element Nebula rapidly expanded, and the forty-two unenhanced stars within it successively advanced, becoming several times larger than before.

It is worth mentioning the immense power of Commander-level soul. Even Remnant Soul possesses extraordinary value and can be used to strengthen Summoned Beast. Releasing Warm Spring can instantly increase the power of twenty stars.

Curse Element advanced to Intermediate Level 4!

Immediately, Lu Jun skillfully used this surge of new power to fiercely attack the high-level barrier.

At the same time, the Star River Vein and the Curse Substance in his hand melted one after another, converging into a surging energy. Following closely behind, it surged like wave after wave against the barrier, and the light membrane at the edge of the Nebula became thinner and thinner.

To be honest, his foundation in Curse Element is not as strong as his Water Element, and he clearly lacks the frequency and opportunities to use it.

But with such comprehensive and multi-layered preparations in place, there is absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.

Outside, Lu Jun's aura surged, surrounded by a black and red evil aura that spread out in countless strands, covering an area of several feet. Behind him, a menacing and evil shadow rose up, like a great demon king, exuding despair and foreboding.

Just when Lu Jun thought he could advance smoothly in the Curse Element, an unexpected incident occurred.

Roar!

For some reason, the White Tiger Pendant he wore on his chest reacted strangely, as if it sensed the unique aura of the Curse Substance [Blood Abyss] and, stimulated, began to revive.

The reclining white tiger was incredibly lifelike. A low growl came from it, and its grayish-white color shone brightly. Its energy surged, and it seemed to be sublimating from Nebula Magic Tool to Star River Magic Tool.

Unfortunately, it seemed to lack energy and, after exhausting itself, failed to succeed and slowly fell back to its original state.

However, the blood lake inside the space trembled, gushing out a murderous Blood Qi that flowed into the [Blood Abyss] Curse Substance.

With a hissing sound, Lu Jun was enveloped in a dark red glow. Under the corrosive influence of the White Tiger Pendant, the chilling evil shadow behind him spread with platinum patterns, adding a touch of noble supremeness to his original simple evil and despair.

It's as if he has transformed from Evil God into a righteous god who wields power over killing.

Gradually, the two overlapped. Lu Jun closed his eyes tightly. Although he noticed the movement, he did not stop it. He focused on breaking through to the High-level Curse and only found the White Tiger Pendant strange.

After following him for so long without any movement, why is there suddenly activity now that his Curse Element has broken through to a higher level?

Rumble!

Soon, Lu Jun focused his mind, and his Spiritual World trembled violently, almost transmitting to the outside world, with a muffled rumbling sound resounding throughout.

The dark green Nebula burst through its membrane, and forty-nine stars, as if finding a breakthrough, poured forth for thousands of miles, like a creature breaking out of its shell. A vast, winding dark green galaxy meandered through the Dark Universe.

Nebula transformed into a galaxy, but that wasn't the end of it. The dark green celestial river was tainted by the continuous black and red energy descending from the void, instantly turning into a black and red celestial river, its aura expanding further, becoming profound and terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, the nearby Water Element galaxy seemed to be affected, and it began to vibrate as well.

Within the Spiritual World, a breathtaking scene unfolded: azure dragons and black-red dragons coiled and intertwined like a double helix, each with a dragon pearl atop its head, the colors of sky blue and dark red intertwined.

The former is Water Repelling Pearl, and the latter is Demon Relic.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Outside, the dark green patterns on Lu Jun's wrist, representing the Curse Mark substance, were stained and, under the powerful assimilation of the Blood Abyss, became increasingly exquisite and complex, spreading all over his body, dramatically enhancing the effect.

The second stage of the contamination explosion is significantly more powerful, increasing the vampire's bloodlust effect and also serving as a medium for casting blood magic.

His Curse Substance should now be called [Blood Abyss Curse Mark].

Lu Jun's skin was pale, covered with black and red sacrificial patterns, exuding both evil and nobility, and his aura surged.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and his Mental Power between his brows underwent a tremendous change. A surge of soul power overflowed, which was like a large patch of Silver Light, almost materializing.

Having suppressed his Mental Power for a long time, he seized the opportunity of breaking through the Curse Element and broke through the threshold in one fell swoop, instantly reaching the peak of the Fourth Realm, equivalent to four times the power of the Soul Seed.

Lu Jun's skill level has increased significantly, and his Curse Element skills have become his trump cards. With the help of the water and curse types, he is confident that he can surpass Ai Jiangtu, who is of the same generation.

Of course, they are still far from winning the National Prefecture War. The main players of those strong national teams all possess at least Triple High Level plus Soul Seed, some even have High-level Two, and they have all the means to reach the highest level.

He didn't pay much attention and quickly checked the White Tiger Pendant that had just undergone the strange change.

Before long, Lu Jun received the information, his face showing surprise. No wonder there was an anomaly when it occurred, neither when the Metal Element was advancing to a higher level nor when it was the first time it had stepped into a higher level.

It turns out that the Curse Element was also within the White Tiger's power. Once it reached the high-level [Ghost Punishment] stage, it reacted and even assimilated and purified its own Curse Substance [Blood Abyss].

"The White Tiger is the Mountain Lord, belonging to the Gold Qi of the Western Heaven. It also possesses the ability to Through the Profound Soul Capture and capture souls, enslaving them and turning them into Tiger Ghost."

Lu Jun muttered to himself, recalling the extremely famous idiom " to Tiger acting as a demon," which was an essential ability for almost all tiger-like deities. Among them, "Yulei" was even the gatekeeper of the underworld.

Among them, Soul Capture corresponds to the Mind Element [Soul Control], and Ghostly Path corresponds to the Curse Element [Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net].

In the Magic World, the Dark Plane is probably the underworld in the traditional sense, since Four Dark Kings holds the title of "King of Hell Throne."

Furthermore, regardless of whether it's the Intermediate Level 'Evil Spider Trap' or the high-level 'Ghost Punishment', the essence of the Curse Element is to offer magical energy as a sacrifice to the Dark King, and then dispatch ghosts such as 'Soul Devouring Evil Spider' and 'Hatred Eye Ghost Fiend' to obey the master's command.

To some extent, this constitutes a curse or Evil Spirit.

With the White Tiger Pendant modified into Curse Element, he no longer needed to apply to the Dark King, the middleman, but could find a superior soul and refine it into a 'Tiger Ghost' himself.

Releasing Curse Element Ghost Punishment is the descent of the curse of the Tiger Ghost, a power entirely of one's own.

The future is limitless. After all, how can a generic, mass-produced ghost compare to a custom-made one? What's even more wonderful is that the Ghost Punishment, forged from a soul, possesses extremely high intelligence and does not require a sorcerer to control it.

Lu Jun was delighted, even though using human souls to create Cursed Ghost Object was unacceptable to the magical society and was considered evil magic.
