Fiend Abyss.
Beside the white mausoleum palace, the Eight Great Undead Monarchs gazed at the chaos in the enemy ranks, their breathing growing heavier.
Although this new king was still alive and had not fully mastered the authority of the Underworld King, judging by his overwhelming strength in life, once he died and became the Underworld King, he would certainly not be weaker than the Ancient King.
The White Corpse King said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the opposing commander has moved. Let us act as well. The King has become the past naturally, someone will inherit his will."
Hearing this, the undead monarchs present felt a trace of sorrow, then turned solemn, their killing intent soaring to the heavens. "Kill!"
Boom! Boom!
The Mountain Corpse stepped forward with heavy strides, each step spanning dozens of li, crushing countless undead bones beneath its feet like ants. It moved like a shifting mountain range, like the earth itself overturning.
Even the surging ocean released by the Yellow Springs Domain barely submerged its ankles.
Rumble!
The Mountain Corpse stood like a wall of lamentation before Lu Jun, directly colliding with the charging Sphinx.
The two clashed like gods wrestling, as if Mount Buzhou were collapsing. Terrifying brute force rampaged outward, raising monstrous shockwaves that overturned mountains and seas, causing the Fiend Abyss plane to tremble violently. The ground sank several inches, and cracks spread through the surrounding space of these colossal beings.
Whoosh!
From that collision, a golden meteor was sent flying backward at dozens of times the speed, crashing into the ground, rolling continuously, crushing countless undead and carving out a deep trench.
The massive golden lion climbed up again at the edge of the plane. Its mane flared open, its body disheveled, fury erupting.
Buzz—buzz—buzz!
It moved once more. Underworld radiance gathered, making its body indestructible as it transformed into golden lightning, racing wildly around the Mountain Corpse. Its speed blurred into countless afterimages, forming a towering tornado.
Slash!
From time to time, the Sphinx extended its sharp claws, viciously tearing into the colossal mountain of flesh, leaving deep claw marks. The aftershock tore spatial rifts through the void, and the destructive aura reduced the land to dust.
Whenever the Mountain Corpse was attacked, it would shift its massive body to crash toward the direction of the attack, but the cunning old lion always evaded it.
These two towering Supreme Monarchs were long-time rivals, the Mountain Corpse possessed immense strength, thick flesh, and high defense, while the Sphinx was swift and immortal under its underworld radiance. Neither could overwhelm the other.
Meanwhile, the Nine Nether Queen and the other seven undead monarchs each engaged their own opponents.
The Nine Nether Queen, clad in a flowing white dress, stood tall with a cold and noble demeanor. She chanted melodies, sending ripples outward, while on the other side, the Ghost Child let out sinister laughter, releasing dark sorcery to counter her.
Similar battlefields formed across eight regions. Their world-destroying power turned a thousand li of land into scorched ruins where no life remained. The billions of undead armies fled in panic, trying to escape the areas where monarchs clashed.
Yet the moment they left the range of the raging magical energy tides, they were swallowed by the surging Yellow Springs ocean from all directions, dragged into it with their fate unknown.
Lu Jun's face remained cold. Seeing the Sphinx being held back, he felt slightly relieved and focused on controlling the Yellow Springs True Water, annihilating the Egyptian Empire's army.
Although he had come to the Fiend Abyss for another purpose, he did not mind first helping the Eight Great Undead Monarchs repel the Egyptian undead and, at the same time, completely subdue the Ancient Capital's undead.
After all, the existence of the Underworld God Khufu posed a great threat to him as well. If the Fiend Abyss were breached and the enemy could descend freely into Jiuzhou in their true form, he would have nowhere to retreat, only a desperate battle to the death.
Though Lu Jun could currently maintain his Undead Emperor transformation for a long time, it was ultimately not fully refined power, it did not truly belong to him. In a prolonged battle, he would not match Khufu, nor did he have the confidence to slay the Underworld God.
He needed time to grow. Only when he mastered one or two Forbidden Curse elements and surpassed Khufu in his Undead Emperor form would he have a chance of victory.
Rumble!
The Yellow Springs Domain devoured more and more undead, its aura growing heavier and heavier. A terrifying power was brewing within, even the undead monarchs, looking down upon it, felt as though they were staring into a black hole abyss.
Gradually, the Egyptian undead army was completely swallowed. The once hollow and desolate land was replaced by a sea of white bones and yellow waters.
The Yellow Springs True Water was the ultimate counter to undead aside from Monarch-level beings, all others had no resistance whatsoever.
Sensing that enough power had been accumulated, Lu Jun fixed his gaze on the golden lion running across the dark yellow ocean. Within his spiritual world, all eight magic systems ignited at once, converging into boundless power.
God Ascension · Black Emperor!
His eyes shone with multicolored radiance, his lungs in his chest and kidneys at his waist glowing. A presence surpassing that of a Supreme Monarch surged forth, shaking heaven and earth, yet still far from reaching the level of an Emperor.
But as Lu Jun clenched his right hand and let out a low roar, the Yellow Springs Domain activated. The vast waters of heaven and earth gathered around him, billions of skeletons igniting and transforming into a surge of immense power that augmented him.
In that instant, the Sphinx, just as it was attacking the Mountain Corpse, felt a chill of terror.
Looking up at the Yellow Springs Emperor who commanded all water and death, the Sphinx was struck with overwhelming fear. From Lu Jun, it actually sensed a trace of the supreme majesty of the Underworld God.
Immediately, it turned and fled like a stray dog, rushing toward the chaotic vortex at the edge of the continent at lightning speed, impossible to stop.
As it fled, it spat out a threat, "Despicable Jiuzhou undead! You actually dared to call in outside help. I'll spare you this time, next time, I'll bring my allies, the Serpent-Scorpion race, and return to seize your territory!"
"Heh."
Lu Jun's gaze sharpened. His goal was not merely to repel the Egyptian undead, that would only treat the symptoms, not the root. They could return at any time.
He intended to kill Khufu's top general and deal a devastating blow to his forces, ensuring decades of peace.
Abyssal Sea!
In an instant, the vast dark-yellow ocean transformed, growing even darker and deeper. The surging waters suddenly began to rotate, forming a massive vortex as an unmatched devouring force erupted.
Rumble!
The Sphinx, halfway through its escape, suddenly found the ocean beneath its feet collapsing. Its limbs lost footing. Before it could break free and take flight, the terrifying pulling force dragged at its massive body.
The Sphinx's body stiffened, frozen in place as dread filled its mind.
The next moment, Lu Jun moved. The long-prepared Yellow Springs Domain erupted, unifying all his Water Element cultivation and techniques into a single strike. He threw a punch, heaven collapsed, and a phantom undead world descended, carrying the weight of countless bones.
Boom!
A world-shaking roar echoed throughout the Fiend Abyss.
The Sphinx bore the weight of the Yellow Springs world upon its back. Its colossal body seemed small and fragile in comparison. With a crack, its spine snapped, twisting into an unnatural shape as it collapsed powerlessly to the ground, swallowed by the vortex.
Roar!
The Sphinx struggled, letting out a furious howl to the heavens, yet it could not withstand the crushing pressure of the Yellow Springs Domain. Its bones shattered inch by inch, and its indestructible underworld body decayed and rotted under the corrosive Yellow Springs, becoming no different from ordinary undead.
Seeing this, the surrounding undead monarchs fighting nearby were filled with shock and dread.
The Sphinx felt its life rapidly fading. It roared toward the distant chaotic vortex in the sky, "Underworld God, save me!"
Its panicked cry seemed to reach the other side of the world.
The chaotic vortex trembled. A towering figure reflected within it, gazing down upon the Fiend Abyss, Underworld God Khufu had acted. Using the Triangular Chaos Realm as a conduit, a powerful pulling force yanked the Sphinx from the ocean, dragging it toward the vortex.
The Nine Nether Queen's expression changed slightly.
Could it really escape unscathed?
