Lu Jun's newly awakened Life and Death Elements at the Super Tier had progressed quite well. Both had been raised to the limit of Mid Tier, and the next step was advancing to High Tier.
He did not even need a Galaxy Vein.
Once the White Tiger Pendant advanced, together with the origins of the two Monarch beings and his Calamity Talent, he would only need one or two days of slight cultivation to break through.
As for the remaining Psychic Element and Summoning Element at Mid Tier Level Five, they were rather unremarkable.
The former, Mind Ripple Dream Leap, allowed anyone branded with a psychic mark to let their soul leave the body at any time and descend to the other side, overlapping somewhat with the abilities of the Space and Time systems.
The latter, Contract Summon — Life Link, further strengthened the bond with summoned beasts, reaching the level of sharing life and death.
If one party suffered a fatal injury, part of it would be transferred to the other and neutralized, turning death into severe injury.
It was still useful, but the life-preserving effects of the Life and Death Elements were more obvious.
"Forget it. Eight magic systems, dozens of magical effects, there are bound to be overlapping portions. I can't demand every skill be a top-tier ability like True Name Precognition."
Lu Jun shook his head.
He held greater expectations for the Fusion Method Old Feng was researching.
Use one furnace to nurture a hundred arts, unite ten thousand laws into one.
A single punch or a single sword strike would contain the fusion of countless methods, simplifying complexity into simplicity, unstoppable in force.
"Old Feng said it will take at most three or four months to complete. I'll wait for now. My cultivation is stable, so it's time to deal with the heavenly treasures inside the Fiend Abyss."
With a thought, he opened a void passage.
The air collapsed, and a silver vortex appeared, leading directly to his elder sister Lu Mei's residence.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The next moment, Lu Mei's graceful figure manifested inside the Fiend Abyss.
As soon as she appeared, pure white wings spread from behind her, suspending her in midair as she curiously looked around.
Inside the Fiend Abyss, the black and empty universe was silent.
A blood-colored altar stood at the center, with the Blood Throne forged atop it.
At the edge of the altar stood a towering spatial gate, its silver vortex rotatins, the passage leading to the outer layer's Bridge of Nine Deaths and One Life.
The Wind Element Heaven Seed, Death Scythe Blade, was within it.
The structure of the Fiend Abyss resembled an onion.
The outermost layer was the pit of billions of skeletons.
The second layer was the deathly land where the White Tomb Palace stood.
The third layer was the Bridge of Nine Deaths and One Life.
The fourth and innermost core was the Blood Throne.
Seeing his sister arrive, Lu Jun smiled warmly.
"Come on. I'll take you to see the Wind Element Heaven Seed."
The two passed through the spatial gate and stood upon the jade-white heavenly bridge resembling a long dragon.
Below them was a pitch-black abyss.
A heaven-piercing black tornado surged upward, carrying vast and mighty wind energy with awe-inspiring pressure.
"Then I'm going."
Lu Mei was not polite.
She nodded to her younger brother, and her graceful figure descended like an angel, directly plunging into the towering black storm.
Seeing this, Lu Jun wanted to speak but stopped.
He was somewhat worried.
Subduing a Heaven Seed was not easy.
From Soul Seeds upward, spiritual intelligence only became stronger.
Even Mo Fan had suffered greatly refining the Tyrant Wild Lightning, much less a Heaven Seed.
Woo woo woo!
The moment Lu Mei was swallowed by the black tornado, her clothes did not turn to dust.
Her fair and smooth jade-like skin was not torn open or shredded by ten thousand cuts either.
Instead, thick gray mist wrapped around her entire body.
Sharp black wind blades attacked from all directions, yet were silently devoured by the gray mist and transformed into pure wind elements, protecting her body.
"Chaos Magic, Order Reversal? Why does it feel a little strange?"
Lu Jun watched closely in concern and could not help but pause in surprise.
Order Reversal should only be able to alter the direction of magic.
Why could it directly reverse the nature of the element itself?
This effect was similar to Mo Fan's magic tool, Silent Thunder Hand, which reversed all magical attacks into Lightning Element energy, greatly increasing resistance.
"Could it be a Transcendent Power formed by uniting earth, fire, wind, and water, recreating chaos?"
He pondered for a moment and began to see some clues.
This Transcendent Power was cultivated using four systems as a unified foundation.
It abandoned the advantages each individual system excelled at, but the effect it brought was astonishing.
It could transform all things and generate ten thousand attribute changes, a method of simplifying complexity into unity.
When activated for defense, it would possess an effect akin to immunity against all spells.
If used for offense, it could destroy heaven and earth.
Of course, Lu Jun guessed his sister had not yet reached that level.
She lacked one of the four great foundations the Water Element and also lacked Fusion Magic.
At most, she could transform among Wind, Fire, and Earth.
Lu Jun finally relaxed.
"No wonder she dared to charge straight into the Heaven Seed core all by herself.
He sat cross-legged upon the bridge and stood guard for his sister, Lu Mei.
Gradually, the violent heaven-piercing tornado storm slowly shrank, and the figure of the mature woman became faintly visible within it.
When Lu Mei had completely refined the Wind Element Heaven Seed, Death Scythe Blade, she opened her beautiful eyes. A vast and mighty power burst skyward from her body. The winds within the Fiend Abyss changed drastically as wild gales rose, lifting darkened waves of air with the force of mountains collapsing and seas overturning.
Lu Jun was startled awake. Seeing this scene, he hurried forward and congratulated her.
"Heh, big sister is invincible. Forbidden Curse is just around the corner."
Hearing this, Lu Mei cast her younger brother a charming white-eyed glare.
The Wings of Wind behind her had been dyed by the Heaven Seed Death Scythe Blade, now gleaming with a pitch-black luster. Suspended behind her like clouds blotting out the sky, she looked like a fallen angel—darkly enchanting, yet carrying an air of mystery.
Lu Jun swallowed unconsciously.
His sister in this form possessed an entirely different kind of charm.
Lu Mei closed her eyes to sense the abilities of Death Scythe Blade, then said in delight,
"My Wind Element has advanced to Super Tier Level Two."
Lu Jun became thoughtful.
That sounded about right. Nearly two years had passed since she broke through to the Super Tier. With his sister's steady and practical foundation in the Wind Element, advancing to Level Two was only natural.
Logically speaking, it was even a little slow.
After all, he himself already had four elements at Super Tier Level Two.
Yet the siblings had broken through during the same period.
The effect of Death Scythe Blade was mysterious indeed. Its name was Threefold Wind Calamity.
Any mage within range would continuously have their cultivation and life force shaved away.
Those of the same level would likely be reduced to ordinary mortals within ten or so minutes.
Terrifying beyond measure.
Lu Jun felt it was strangely familiar.
This effect was essentially a vastly enhanced version of the demonic wind phenomenon of the Qinling Mountains.
Perhaps this Wind Element Heaven Seed had originally been born near the paradise of the Feathered Tribe, then captured and swallowed by the Fiend Abyss, gradually transformed through long-term corrosion by Nether Aura.
After refining the Heaven Seed, his sister needed to return to their home in the Ancient Capital and enter secluded cultivation for a while to fully digest it.
A heavy burden in Lu Jun's heart was finally lifted.
He returned to the Blood Throne, traced out star paths, and summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
Buzz buzz buzz!
A complex black-purple magic formation was drawn upon the altar. Dense black mist surged outward, accompanied by crackling dark yellow lightning.
A massive creature resembling both lion and deer stepped forth.
Lu Jun stared at the Night Thunder Dream Beast.
After being tempered at the edge of the Beast Tomb of a Fallen Kingdom, its killing intent had become highly condensed, nearly matching the majesty of a Monarch.
Its foundations were clearly profound.
It was only one step away from becoming a Monarch.
Yoo yoo!
It let out a low cry.
Upon its originally black-and-white smooth fur, strands of blood-red demonic patterns had appeared at some unknown time, carrying an aura of deathly silence and coldness.
"What is going on?!"
Lu Jun reached out and touched those blood-red markings.
A sinister chill of death flowed toward him, causing his fingers to turn cold and pale. He frowned and asked,"What exactly did you get contaminated with?"
He cultivated the Death Element and was the Underworld King. With one glance, he could tell that the blood-red demonic markings spread across parts of the Dream Beast's body originated from undead power.
Such things should only exist upon the dead.
Why had they appeared on a living creature?
Seeing this, he could not help but suspect that his Dream Beast had been secretly harmed by someone within the Beast Tomb of a Fallen Kingdom.
