Splash! Splash!
Dense black-and-white radiance overflowed from Lu Jun's body, converging into a magnificent pillar of light that shot into the heavens. The powers of Life and Death surged mightily, reaching their peak before scattering like heavenly maidens casting flowers, descending through the boundless darkness as a dreamy and beautiful rain of dazzling light.
The area covered by this shower of Life-and-Death Heavenly Dew was enormous, spanning nearly a hundred li. It was already the limit of his power.
Unfortunately, Zhu Jiuyin's World Body was simply too immense.
Its colossal form filled the void cosmos of the Beast Graveyard. Only the human-face portion of its body was bathed in the black-and-white rain of light, making it seem as though it had merely washed its face under a shower.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A moment later, the dark crimson coloration on Zhu Jiuyin's face underwent a slight change, gaining a touch more vivid red vitality.
That was the movement of living energy.
However, once the Life-and-Death Dew dispersed, everything returned to its original state.
Lu Jun asked,"How is it? Did it work?"
"Not bad. It had an effect," Zhu Jiuyin replied in a rumbling voice before adding somewhat disdainfully, "Your cultivation is simply too low. You cannot sustain it for long. If your Life and Death powers could reach the Forbidden Curse level, the effect would be much better."
Hearing this, Lu Jun curled his lips.
As if reaching Forbidden Curse were that easy.
Moreover, given Zhu Jiuyin's Ruler Emperor foundation, ordinary Forbidden Curse magic probably would not even affect its entire body.
"Forget it."
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Jiuyin summoned the Sun-Moon Time Pool.
The pitch-black cosmos once again displayed the wondrous sight of sun and moon sharing the sky. Their radiance illuminated Zhu Jiuyin's face, causing its features to alternate between brightness and shadow.
It said,"For now, cultivate here in peace. Once your Life, Death, and Space-Time Elements reach a certain level, we can discuss this again."
Having spoken, Zhu Jiuyin's majestic body vanished into the depths of the layered void amid thunderous rumbling sounds.
Lu Jun was delighted.
The Sun-Moon Time Pool was a Nirvana Holy Land painstakingly created by Zhu Jiuyin through the accumulation of countless resources. It also contained the Candle Dragon's Dao of Time itself.
Its value could hardly be overstated.
This was an enormous opportunity.
With the Master of the Beast Graveyard temporarily withdrawing, Lu Jun finally had time to organize his gains.
He had successfully contracted the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms, yet he had not even had the chance to fully understand her abilities or the effects she would bring to him.
Lu Jun asked,"What abilities do you possess?"
Hearing this, Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms obediently nodded.
Forming a hand seal, she unleashed surging energy that manifested behind her as a celestial phenomenon of sun, moon, and stars.
The hundred-meter lotus throne behind her bloomed open. From its gentle flower core, streams of sacred azure light shot forth one after another.
Blessing Marks descended from the heavens and settled upon her master.
The next moment, the Taibai Golden Palace floating before Lu Jun's chest shone brilliantly.
Countless streams of metallic qi flowed around his body. Amid ringing metallic sounds, innumerable divine sword feathers gathered together, forming a robe of golden-white plumage, the Taibai Golden Feather Robe.
However, unlike before, this self-created defensive spell now possessed more than just strands of indestructible metallic essence woven throughout it.
Behind him appeared a blazing solar imprint formed from the fusion of sacred azure and golden radiance.
At the same time, when Lu Jun raised his hand and grasped the Tai'a Sword, this supreme weapon of slaughter displayed a luminous moon imprint composed of intertwined sacred azure and silver-white colors.
Above his head, a sacred azure-violet star brand descended streams of light.
At that moment, Lu Jun felt his defensive power, offensive power, and magical energy recovery rate increase by a full twofold.
"Blessing Element Super-tier Spell, Level Three, Star Talisman, Moon Talisman, and Golden Radiance Talisman!"
Lu Jun drew in a sharp breath.
He had experienced Jun Yaojin's Blessing Magic before.
The Basic-Tier Spell strengthened through Blessing Chant.
The Intermediate Spell was Prayer of Fortune and Disaster Warding.
The Advanced Spell invoked Ancient Divine Power.
The first two had already become of limited value to him once he reached higher realms. At most, they added a little extra benefit.
They were completely incomparable to the blessings granted by the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms.
"Excellent. After using Fusion Magic, I can become even stronger."
He could not help but praise her.
At the same time, a thought arose in his mind.
Within the Healing Divine Soul, aside from the Healing Element Calamity Talent, there also existed the power of a Blessing Element Calamity Talent, along with portions of White Magic related to plant attributes.
Perhaps he could pass those abilities on to the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms in reverse.
Once she absorbed a small portion of the Healing Divine Soul's energy, she might very well complete her final accumulation and ascend into a true Emperor-level existence.
"Anything else?"
Lu Jun's eyes gleamed with excitement.
The more he learned about the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms, the more satisfied he became with her role.
This was merely her holding back.
According to her own claims, she could grant blessings to entire groups. Combined with his Life, Death, and Metal Elements, they could create an invincible army comparable to the Knights of the Parthenon Temple.
Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!
Upon hearing this, Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms acted again.
This time, she displayed abilities related to plants and the Psychic Element, powers even more astonishing than her blessings.
The hundred-meter lotus throne bloomed once more.
Countless vines extended into the void, surrounding Lu Jun from every direction as sacred azure radiance illuminated the surroundings.
Seeing this, Lu Jun felt an incomparably powerful sealing force descend upon him.
Every vine carried intense petrification power.
Crack! Crack!
With his strength, even a corner of the Taibai Golden Feather Robe became petrified, turning into sacred azure stone before crumbling into powder.
Only now, with the Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms unleashing her full power, did she reveal the ferocious nature of a quasi-Emperor-level demon.
Overwhelmingly powerful.
Peerless beneath the heavens.
Nothing like the gentle and mild demeanor she normally displayed.
After exchanging several moves with Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms, Lu Jun more or less grasped the extent of her abilities.
He was overjoyed.
He decided to bestow the Blessing Element Calamity Talent upon her.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, Lu Jun sat cross-legged in the void.
Flawless immortal radiance spread around him, forming a domain.
Across the crystalline membrane of that domain extended countless Divine Beast Patterns.
There was a swaying and resilient sacred azure flower.
A Yellow Springs demonic beast exuding domineering deathly energy.
And a graceful figure formed from the Three Lights Divine Water.
He circulated the Transcendent Power of the Summoning Element. Three streams of feedback continuously flowed from the Void Source, originating from his three contracted creatures. They were improving every moment, nourishing the moon-white Star Ocean of his Summoning Element.
Among them, the feedback from the Night Thunder Dream Beast and Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms was the most immense and refined.
Since Zhulong had permitted him to use the Sun-Moon Pool, he simply guided the Dream Beast into the Black Moon's Lake of Death to cultivate. As for Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms, having only recently formed a contract with him, her feedback was naturally at its strongest.
Crash!
Within Lu Jun's mental world, the dark-silver and moon-white Star Oceans surged upward step by step, eventually reaching their peak and touching a bottleneck.
Both Elements had reached the peak of Super Level One.
Perhaps it would not be long before they simultaneously broke through to Super Level Two.
Lu Jun felt exceptionally pleased.
The two Elements had only recently advanced to the Super Level, yet they were already catching up to his veteran Elements.
The key lay in their extraordinary advantages.
Both Elements simultaneously benefited from the nurturing of the White Tiger Pendant and the Triangular Dimensional Mirror, while also receiving support from contracted beasts and the fortuitous opportunity of Zhulong's Time Power.
"That should be enough. I will bestow the Blessing Element talent upon you. Whether you can break through to the Emperor level will depend on your own fortune."
At last, Lu Jun calmed the fluctuations within his Star Oceans and spoke to Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms before him.
Rumble—!
Immediately afterward, he grew solemn and dignified, guiding forth the power of the Healing Divine Soul.
Behind him appeared the phantom of a divine maiden.
Her graceful figure stood tall and elegant, radiating sacred majesty.
With a thought from Lu Jun, a vast and holy force surged from the Divine Soul, condensing into intricate runes that descended upon Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms' forehead. Simultaneously, corresponding marks appeared within the flower core of her true form.
Lu Jun sensed a new connection forming within the Healing Divine Soul, one intimately tied to Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms.
It allowed her to absorb a portion of the Divine Soul's origin power and draw upon the might of Resurrection Magic, merging it with her own Naihe Resurrection Art.
If successful, it might reach the legendary level of Nezha's Lotus Incarnation Resurrection.
The original restriction requiring an intact physical body for resurrection was effectively removed.
Naturally, he could also reclaim this bestowed power at any time.
The aura of Queen Sacred Lotus of Twin Blossoms began rising steadily.
Soon, she fell into a deep slumber, needing time to digest the powerful origin energy and advance toward the Emperor Realm.
