On the Rehe Rainforest Plains.
After hearing Lu Jun's words, Sharjah's expression showed a hint of hesitation.
Although she herself felt that cooperating with the Black Vatican was wrong, she still firmed her stance. Her elder brother was the leader of the Brown Army first and foremost, she was a sister, and only second an Archangel.
Moreover, Sharjah believed her brother's ideology was not wrong. The elites of many South American nations were indeed consciously exploiting the interests of the lower classes, leaving the people unable to survive. Only by remaking heaven and earth could a sound order be established.
Such a process was inevitably bound to have twists and turns.
Sharjah let out a quiet sigh and made her decision. If matters became impossible to resolve, she would abandon Wu Ku. Compared to Rain Mage, offending a young peerless genius would cost far more.
After all, some people might not help you accomplish great deeds, but they could easily ruin them.
Seeing this, Lu Jun gave a cold snort, already understanding Sharjah's choice.
Screech!
The jet-black demonic sword [Tyrfing] beside Sharjah revealed savage, greedy evil spirit faces on its surface. Wailing cries rang out as it took the initiative to control its blade form, transforming into thousands upon thousands of sinister slashing forces that rained down.
There was no need for Lu Jun to act.
From afar, with a resounding clang, the Tai'a Sword seemed to encounter a worthy opponent and became exceptionally excited. It transformed into a dazzling platinum-white sword light and surged forward, its overlapping radiance colliding head-on with Tyrfing.
As for their former enemy, the Light Element Super Mage Damon, he had already been heavily wounded. His body was covered in countless bloodstains so deep they exposed bone and even internal organs, leaving him powerless as he lay on the ground.
This was only natural.
Among everyone present, Damon had the lowest cultivation—single-element Super Tier and had not mastered any formidable Transcendent Power. The Tai'a Sword, wielding Metal Element authority, had effortlessly crushed him.
Clang! Clang!
Dense metallic collisions echoed throughout the void. Sword blossoms filled the sky—some pitch-black, others platinum-white, each carrying a lethal aura. Destructive energy fluctuations surged violently.
Sharjah's face visibly turned pale. Maintaining the weapon spirit summoned from the forbidden book required an enormous amount of magical energy. If it were destroyed, the price to pay would be staggering.
On the other side, Lu Jun sensed the vast platinum star-river radiance rapidly dimming. He did not wish to wait any longer and decisively unleashed his full power.
Woooo—!
His heterochromatic pupils blazed forth. His right Nether Gaze locked on as a black point collapsed in midair, rapidly expanding into a massive black hole that seemed to lead straight to the netherworld.
Immediately afterward, two colossal ghostly figures burst forth from the black hole, towering over heaven and earth—one black, one white. Accompanied by howling winds, wailing spirits, gods and demons crying out, and blood rain falling, countless phenomena of the Great Dark Heaven manifested.
Boom!
The Twin Nether Fiends stood between heaven and earth. Their terrifying, supreme aura swept across the skies. Azure-black gales spiraled through the nine heavens like a boundless sea of wind, while the earth trembled violently, everything turning into weathered ash-gray.
Orthodox Monarch-level Ghost Lords!
Sub–Heavenly Seed–tier Wind Seed and Earth Seed powers!
At this moment, several core figures of the Brown Army were utterly shaken, finally realizing why Lu Jun dared to confront a Great Monarch.
Sharjah's forbidden book no longer flipped pages. She fell silent, abandoning all futile resistance. Unless she summoned the ultimate forbidden spirits from the final pages, there was no way she could contend and the price would be her own life.
At the central altar of the thousand-tent military encampment, Wu Ku's face was filled with despair. He knew there was no longer any chance of escape.
He deeply regretted his mistake back then.
When Lu Jun was at the High Tier, he had indeed been troublesome, but not to the point of being unsolvable. He should have acted decisively, mobilizing all forces to strangle him at the earliest opportunity.
Yet, out of concern for Lu Jun's background and fear of losses, he had no choice but to give up.
Now, Lu Jun had broken through to Super Tier. All his past foundations had been fully digested. With accumulated strength erupting at once, he had undergone a dragon-like metamorphosis, forming an overwhelming momentum. Within human society, even Forbidden Curse Archangels personally descending could do nothing to him.
He would inevitably push through the Super Tier with unstoppable force and ascend to Forbidden Curse.
Any thought of resistance now was clearly too late, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Surrounded by the two Nether Fiends, Lu Jun finally stepped onto the altar, looking down upon all.
"We should have known earlier. You and I were clearly enemies of the Dao."
Wu Ku, sealed within a massive water sphere composed of countless droplets, looked deeply at Lu Jun. Sensing his natal artifact, the Water Buddha Beads and his innate Water Soul Seed stirring restlessly, he let out a low sigh.
Hearing this, Lu Jun remained calm.
As early as the Ancient Capital expedition, his Water Element, which had undergone multiple transformations had vaguely sensed Wu Ku.
From solidifying his tidal talent with White Jade Paste, to the evolution of the unsealed Water-Avoiding Pearl, to the reshaping of his innate Devouring Seed, his Water Element had already reached the level capable of bearing a Calamity Talent.
Unfortunately, the number of Calamity Talents in the world was fixed. Wu Ku already occupied the slot, there would never be a second Water Calamity Talent.
Thus, Lu Jun began planning.
Only after seizing the Parthenon Divine Soul did he truly comprehend just how powerful Calamity Talents were and only then did he resolve to eliminate Wu Ku.
After all, a Water Calamity Talent would play an immense role under the grand trend of oceanic invasion.
Lu Jun examined the massive water sphere enveloping Wu Ku, seemingly indestructible, and shook his head.
"You're wasting a talent meant to command wind and rain by using it like this."
Wu Ku neither confirmed nor denied it, seemingly disdainful of arguing.
Suddenly, Lu Jun opened his mouth.
A pitch-black, frigid sun slowly rose from his abdomen. Nine black water droplets, shot straight toward Wu Ku.
"Hahaha!" Wu Ku mocked. "You plan to use Water Element magic to erode my defenses? Pure fantasy—"
Before he could finish speaking, his expression turned to horror.
Transcendent Power · Northern Heaven Sea.
The nine condensed water droplets converged and landed on the surface of the massive water sphere, causing only faint ripples before piercing straight through it without the slightest obstruction.
Gurgle—gurgle!
Wu Ku's triple-layered inner and outer water-droplet defenses were completely ineffective. He cried out in horror,
"How is this possible?!"
Within Wu Ku's perception, no matter how he activated his Call Wind and Summon Rain Calamity Talent, he was utterly unable to draw in or assimilate the energy of the nine incoming drops of highly condensed Northern Heavy Water.
In a daze, it was as if he saw nine vast and surging primordial seas crashing down. Layer after layer of water realms collapsed under the pressure, carrying with them four terrifying effects—Extreme Weight, Supreme Yin, Tides, and Abyssal Sea—causing the void itself to shatter as chaotic currents spread everywhere.
The power of the Northern Heaven Qi Sea had condensed all of Lu Jun's Water Element cultivation into a single, unstoppable force. With the Water-Avoiding Pearl enhancing it, how could it possibly be neutralized by Wu Ku, unless Wu Ku's Water Element cultivation had reached Super Tier Level Three?
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out.
On the altar, Wu Ku—still encased within the massive water sphere, lost the light in his eyes. His life aura rapidly withered as nine tiny wounds, each no larger than a drop of water, appeared all over his body, piercing straight through everything. Correspondingly, nine water vortices also formed on the outer water sphere, perfectly aligned with each wound.
At the same time, the nine drops of Northern Heavy Water erupted within his body, expanding into lakes that severed all vitality.
Crash—!
Dim, ghostly water vapor surged through the void, all of it converging back into Lu Jun's body. Above the pitch-black great marsh within his Qi Sea Dantian, nine drops of "Northern Heavy Water" re-condensed once more, though their luster was slightly dimmer than before.
Lu Jun's long coat fluttered as he coldly looked down at Wu Ku's corpse slowly collapsing to the ground.
Immediately after, the murky, bone-like Water Buddha Beads above Wu Ku's head began to rotate automatically, absorbing all the magic energy and Water Element power within the water sphere. Even the mysterious, profound aura rising from Wu Ku's corpse was refined and fused into the beads.
Clang!
The three crystal-clear Supreme Water Element Crystals that had once hovered around Wu Ku lost the power sustaining them and fell to the ground one after another.
Wu Ku—dead!
The Super Tier powerhouses of the Brown Army present all revealed bitter expressions, shaking their heads with sighs.
Sharjah was already considering what kind of compensation she should offer in order to ease relations with Lu Jun.
