Boom—boom—boom!
Across the vast and boundless great plain, a pillar of light shot straight into the heavens like a dividing line between sky and earth, an awe-inspiring sight. Beneath the beam, the pastoral settlement of several thousand herders appeared incomparably tiny.
Ten thousand meters in the sky, within the expansive firmament, endless Chaos energy gathered, connecting to the stars and locking onto a coordinate.
Lu Jun suddenly raised his head. Within the sky, a certain majestic and immense outline appeared faintly, like some kind of illusory projection, not entirely real.
Gradually, however, that enormous outline became clearer. It was unmistakably a structure belonging to a supreme god like the city of Fengdu in the underworld casting strange black-purple, ghastly white, and blood-red radiance down from great heights.
Its size rivaled that of a mountain. Layer upon layer of steps rose upward, narrowing as they ascended. Each level of stairs was constructed from massive bricks. Every golden stone block had been specially cut—orderly, solid, and sharply defined!
Just one of those huge stones was taller than a person!
And the entire structure was piled together from tens of thousands of such golden stones. They formed a gigantic triangular monument that encompassed hundreds of miles in every direction—towering, massive, and majestic!!
For a time, the entire northern region of the Nine Provinces witnessed this magnificent scene.
Tens of millions, perhaps even hundreds of millions of citizens stared in confusion, exclamations rising everywhere:
"What is that? It looks a bit like the Egyptian pyramids, but it's so huge, it's like it could crush the continent!"
"What exactly is going on?"
As the public discussed it noisily, someone suddenly noticed a tiny black dot at the foot of the grand structure. Someone with good eyesight shouted, "That's a person! A young man! This place looks like the Northern Plains!"
At the same time, many mages with even sharper vision saw more, even clearly recognizing Lu Jun's appearance.
It seemed that when the triangular Chaos Mirror projected the pyramid, it also cast a mirage of the surrounding hundreds of miles into the sky above the Nine Provinces.
In the north, Pang Lai and the others looked up, worry appearing on their faces. They murmured softly, "Lu Jun… you must hold on."
They had no power to send reinforcements. The experts of the Imperial Capital were all gazing toward the vast Bohai Sea, guarding against the Sea Demons in the depths. The safety of the Imperial Capital could not be compromised!
"Khufu's Pyramid?!"
At the northern frontier, Lu Jun sucked in a sharp breath. Beneath the boundless might of the pyramid, both his body and soul trembled. Gritting his teeth, he released his spiritual power while the Space-Time Element operated at full force, sensing the void.
After a moment, he perceived the essence of the Khufu Pyramid, it appeared illusory in nature. He could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
Khufu's Pyramid had not truly descended. It was only using the power of the triangular Chaos Mirror to cast a temporary projection. In merely a few minutes, it would dissipate—after all, an imitation could never compare to the real artifact.
Furthermore, the absence of Leng Jue to preside over the ritual magic formation was also an important reason.
Even so, Lu Jun still did not dare relax. His inner vigilance rose sharply. Earlier he had heard that soul-shaking snort, which very likely originated from the Undead Emperor Khufu.
Buzz—buzz—buzz!
Soon after Khufu's Pyramid manifested, a sinister shadow stood within its depths, towering like a ten-thousand-meter mountain, a demonic god's body capable of blotting out the radiance of the sun and moon!!
The Netherworld God Khufu stood high above. Across countless miles, His gaze descended, staring at the ant beneath the pyramid on the ground.
Instantly, Lu Jun's heart shuddered. A terrifying might pressed upon his shoulders, rendering him unable to move.
His majestic voice spread across the plains as He spoke calmly:
"Humans truly cannot be relied upon. Boasting that he would cooperate with Me, yet he died as worthless as a feather."
"Even so, the one who prevented My descent must pay the price."
As Khufu finished speaking, the towering pyramid behind His ten-thousand-meter shadow shone with brilliant Nether radiance. Endless Nether power gathered, condensing into a gigantic Spear of the Nether God—hundreds of meters long, suffused with eerie purple Nether light.
Boom—boom—boom!
Seeing this, alarm bells rang wildly within Lu Jun's mind. He realized he was about to face the most dangerous situation of his life.
He had gone all out to kill Leng Jue precisely to avoid encountering Khufu ahead of time. The Ancient King's Armor absolutely could not be exposed.
Fortunately, he had acted in time. Khufu could not truly descend, meaning He could not see through him. Moreover, with the presence of the Parthenon Divine Soul and the Resurrection Technique, no matter what happened this time, he would not truly die.
Buzz—buzz—buzz!
The moment that supreme Spear of the Nether God formed in the void, it pointed directly at Lu Jun from afar.
A stabbing pain pierced Lu Jun's heart, affected by its sharp edge. He had intended to activate various life-saving methods—Space-Time Element phasing, Life Element regeneration, and so on, but suddenly a strange thought arose that all these methods would become ineffective.
He instinctively felt that the power of the Spear of the Nether God had locked onto the outcome of death itself. It pierced even the concept of death, a might belonging to a Nether God Emperor.
The only way to deal with it was to confront it head-on and break it with brute force.
"Ascend to Godhood"
Lu Jun let out a low roar. Radiant-light shone brilliantly in his eyes as a black sun rose from his abdomen. A terrifying, majestic power surged from his entire body into the sky. Blood-ink energy dyed the night sky crimson, reflecting a world like one soaked in blood. Countless threads of vital energy surged upward, forming the phantom silhouette of a ghostly god behind him.
That ghostly god possessed the head of a tiger and the body of a human deity, its horns jagged and imposing. It was not a demon, but a heavenly god—an intertwining presence of sinister eeriness and noble majesty.
Without hesitation, he entered the state of Ascend to Godhood. His aura surged higher and higher, stirring layer upon layer of shockwaves in the sky that spread outward with the force of collapsing mountains and overturning seas. White hair flowed like water silk, his pupils became heterochromatic—one azure, one crimson—his muscles swelled, demonic sacrificial runes appeared, sword-like wings unfolded, and a dark crown formed above.
His bearing was majestic, like the king of white tigers. Wild blue-black winds and gray-white dust gathered around him.
A thunderous boom exploded across the heavens, as though the sky itself had split in two. The eerie purple radiance of the colossal pyramid and the blood-ink aura of Lu Jun's Ascend to Godhood state each occupied half of the sky.
This was the first time Lu Jun had used the Ascend to Godhood effect since advancing to the Super Tier. Normally, at the Super Tier level, there were no longer many enemies capable of threatening him.
He sensed his spiritual world. The star seas and star rivers of his eight magic elements were burning violently. The Twin Fiends of Heaven and Earth from the Curse Element, the two contracted beasts of the Summoning Element, and the hundreds of undead nurtured by the Death Element—every form of power had merged into one.
Lu Jun felt as though every movement of his hands and feet carried boundless might, likely approaching the level of a Supreme Monarch infinitely close.
In the past, when he used Ascend to Godhood while only at the High Tier across multiple elements, he had barely reached Sub-Monarch level. Now, with four elements at the Super Tier and the profound foundation of numerous Heaven-Seed methods, he had touched the realm of the Supreme Monarch, an enormous leap.
Moreover, due to the Calamity Talents of the Life Element, Death Element, Water Element, and Metal Element, those four elements were rapidly gathering energy from all directions. The magical energy within his body circulated and regenerated continuously. The duration was no longer a mere few minutes, now it could last at least ten or even twenty minutes.
Even if it still could not last as long as Mo Fan's Demon Element transformation, nor match its explosive leap in combat strength, it was still more than enough to sustain a high-intensity battle.
"Unfortunately… if Mo Fan were at my level, his demonization would probably already rival an Emperor and could beat Su Lu senseless."
A thought crossed Lu Jun's mind. His body rose into the air, reaching a height level with Khufu, facing him without the slightest fear.
Buzz—buzz—buzz!
Khufu did not move, staring coldly at him. At the peak of the pyramid, the Spear of the Nether God moved, piercing through the sky and striking forward with unstoppable might.
Lu Jun suddenly felt enlightened. Gripping the Tai'a Sword, the platinum star sea within his spiritual world surged violently. A certain concept was rapidly taking shape—representing the Calamity Talent of the Metal Element.
