Chapter 591: Advanced Life and Death Magic!
Seeing the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms fall into slumber, Lu Jun paid it no further attention. He had already learned the ability of the Blessing Element Calamity Talent.[Heavenly Official’s Blessing]: It can communicate with the power of heaven and earth contained within mountains, rivers, and nature itself. It can also achieve unity between man and heaven, comprehend the will of the heavens, shepherd the people on behalf of heaven, and bestow blessings upon living beings.
From this point onward, the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms’ blessing abilities would be greatly enhanced. Many of the Parthenon Temple’s permanent blessing secret arts could now be utilized as well.
As far as Lu Jun knew, there was one secret art known as [Golden Apple], capable of allowing a Super Mage to condense a superior Innate Talent with a one hundred percent success rate, saving countless years of arduous cultivation.
This was even mentioned in the original novel. Unfortunately, despite Mo Fan having a Parthenon Goddess as his wife, he knew surprisingly little about such things, though he probably did not really need them.
In addition, Lu Jun also knew of the [Philosopher’s Stone], which could instantly restore a Forbidden Curse expert to full health and peak condition.
"The Healing Divine Soul possesses twelve Holy Souls. After some time, I can bestow them upon a few of my core confidants as well."
With that thought, Lu Jun immersed himself in cultivation once more, focusing entirely on improving his Life and Death Elements.
Rumble—!
Deep within the dark and boundless void universe.
A youthful supreme being, radiant with divine brilliance and seemingly beyond mortality, sat cross-legged between the Sun and Moon, receiving the endless baptism of Life and Death energy.
The characteristics of six Transcendent Powers manifested around him.
Most extraordinary of all was the fusion of black and white energies behind him, forming a vast gray ocean of chaos that continuously accumulated and settled.
Beside this youthful divine figure bloomed a thirty-six-petaled lotus interwoven with sacred azure and pure white divine patterns, swaying gently.
Within Lu Jun’s spiritual world, the milky-white nebula and the dark-gray nebula shook violently as immense energy poured into them.
Without the slightest suspense, both shattered through their bottlenecks in a single stroke.
Amid thunderous vibrations, the nebulae transformed into star rivers, with 343 stars shining brilliantly.
Originally, both the Life and Death Elements had already reached the absolute limit of the Fifth-Level Intermediate Tier. Their foundations were incomparably solid.
Had Lu Jun not deliberately suppressed them, they would have broken through long ago.
Now, within such a uniquely blessed sacred land, advancing required no Star River Vein whatsoever.
He could feel his vitality continuing to transform, steadily advancing toward the path of eternal life and immortality.
At this point, Lu Jun no longer knew how long his lifespan was.
In any case, he was undoubtedly the person most capable of living in the entire world, surpassing many Forbidden Curse Divine Mages.
At this moment, he carefully examined the Advanced Magic of the Life and Death Elements.
He had not expected much.
Yet he received a pleasant surprise.
The Advanced Life Spell, [Life Chalice], at Level One existed in a permanent state, eternally preserving the body at the peak condition of its life cycle.
Even if one suffered mortal injuries or reached the end of their lifespan, as long as the spell remained active, they could continue fighting like an undying monster.
At first glance, it did not seem particularly useful to him.
Yet its strategic significance was immense.
He knew that many Forbidden Curse Mages were unable to cast Forbidden Curses because they had grown old and frail, unable to withstand the backlash of such powerful magic.
Characters like Su Lu and Chief Hua, who reached the Forbidden Curse realm while still in their physical prime, were exceedingly rare.
Most spent their lives waiting in line for an Earth Pistil.
Only after reaching old age and encountering some major crisis would they finally receive one, allowing them to advance to Forbidden Curse and fill the vacant position.
The later levels of Life Chalice possessed effects such as restoring flesh from bones and reviving the dead.
These abilities were sufficient to allow elderly powerhouses to fight without restraint one final time.
Meanwhile, the Advanced Death Spell, [Finger of Death], was even more outrageous.
Even now, it could provide tremendous assistance to Lu Jun.
In actual combat, even Ruler Emperors would likely keep their distance from it.
The spell lived up to its name.
Finger of Death fired a beam of death energy. Upon hitting a target, there was a certain probability of causing instant death through an absolute judgment akin to a law of reality itself.
No matter how powerful the target was, they would still be subjected to the effect.
The only difference was that greater strength provided greater resistance, reducing the probability of instant death.
Even if the instant-kill effect failed, the subsequent explosion of death energy would still inflict terrifying damage.
For example, the Level One effect of Finger of Death, [Weakening], would activate if the instant-death judgment failed.
The target would enter a weakened state, no longer possessing peak vitality, spirit, or energy, and their combat power would plummet drastically.
The Level Two effect, [Withering], directly reduced lifespan.
Even the strongest supreme experts would find it utterly disgusting.
It was like dealing with a dung beetle, attack it and you felt disgusted; ignore it and you felt equally disgusted.
The Level Three effect, [Energy Drain], went even further by reducing the target’s cultivation foundation.
If a First-Level Super Mage was struck and somehow survived the instant-death effect, so what?
The next moment, their cultivation level would fall, turning them into a High Mage and allowing an enemy to finish them off with ease.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Impressive! As expected of the Death Element’s only offensive spell and its premier single-target attack magic."
Lu Jun nodded in satisfaction.
With both the Life and Death Elements advancing into the Advanced Tier, they had finally gained magic suitable for use as primary offensive abilities.
From now on, he decided that whenever a battle began, he would casually open with a Finger of Death.
This way, even the most powerful creatures would have to think twice before opposing him.
The possibility of being instantly killed was not zero.
Dying like that would be far too unjust and frustrating.
And even if they won, so what?
Their cultivation would be degraded into nothing.
During the following period, Lu Jun continued cultivating diligently.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
His Life and Death Elements advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of Advanced Tier Level Three.
Then he utilized the Soul Essences stored within the White Tiger Pendant, investing points into both Elements and advancing them to Advanced Tier Level Four.
At this point, all eight of his magic Elements had achieved a perfect balance:
First Tier Level Five, Intermediate Tier Level Five, and Advanced Tier Level Four.
The Level Four ability of Life Chalice, [Nirvana Rebirth], went beyond the effects of the Level Three Living Dead state.
Not only could it revive the dead, but it also carried a certain probability of granting rebirth and strengthening the revived individual through nirvana, similar to the abilities of the Phoenix Sacred Beast Totem lineage.
It could be said that even without relying on the Healing Divine Soul, Lu Jun’s Life Element alone already possessed the qualifications to establish an entire school of magic.
As for the Level Four evolution of Finger of Death, it likewise underwent a tremendous leap.
Its name was [Deathly Silence of All Things].
It gained the ability to affect multiple targets simultaneously.
Entire groups of enemies would be subjected to the instant-death judgment at once, no longer one target at a time.
Its deterrent power rose to an entirely new level.
After reflecting on it, Lu Jun realized that his two Elements had already become vastly different from those of ordinary mages specializing in the same Elements. This was the combined result of his Calamity Talent, the bonus effects of Super-Level Magic, and the Origin Power of a Ruler Emperor.
Just as he was preparing to settle down and consolidate his gains, ambitiously planning to absorb more Origin Power and push both his Life and Death Elements directly into the Super Level.
A message arrived from the Magic Plane.
Across the endless expanse of space, his elder sister had sent word.
Before entering the Summoning Plane, Lu Jun had already established a Summoning Gate for precisely this purpose. If anything happened in the Ancient Capital, he would be able to respond immediately.
After receiving the message, he raised an eyebrow.
"So it’s that matter. Mo Fan really took his time."
After arriving in the Ancient Capital, Lu Jun had sent Mo Fan and his group into the Qinling Mountains to obtain the Oath Fruit. Yet now, more than a year had passed before they finally returned.
"Either they ran into enormous trouble, or they obtained an incredible opportunity. Could it be that, besides using the Totem Power within the Divine Deer Horn to break into the Super Level, he also managed to ascend to the Sky Realm of the Feathered Tribe?"
Seeing this, Lu Jun felt puzzled, but he also understood that he could no longer continue cultivating for the time being.
He needed to return to the Ancient Capital in the Magic Plane.
Whether he could completely push both his Curse Element and Psychic Element to the perfected Third Level would depend on what gains Mo Fan had brought back this time.
By then, once Lu Jun combined Divine Ascension with his Fusion Method, he would possess true orthodox Emperor-level combat power.
