Roar roar roar!
Within the chaotic battlefield, massive Coral Reef Lizard Demons suddenly snapped at their nearby companions, breaking branch-like arms—such situations appeared repeatedly. The sea's surface overflowed with vast amounts of dazzling Four-Colored Demon blood, seeping into these waters.
For a hundred kilometers around, the deep sea shimmered with vibrant hues, dreamlike and illusory.
Lu Jun commanded over a hundred sword lights crossing and intertwining, slaughtering recklessly. To completely annihilate this group of Four-Colored Demon Warrior, he even inscribed the Summoning System's Beast Tide Gate, calling for reinforcements.
Roar roar roar!
The turbid deep sea churned violently. A grand moon-white gate suddenly condensed, gurgling water sounds resounding as countless colossal shadows surged forth.
They were terrifying Sea Demons resembling giant tunas, twenty meters long. Their sharp mouths occupied half their bodies, like peerless divine swords, gleaming with crystalline metallic luster, instilling dread.
Sword Demon Sea Monsters! Their overall attributes were ordinary, but their single ability of unstoppable offense was enough to place them among peak Warlords.
These were ancient Sea Monsters Lu Jun had imprinted within the stone forests of the ancient Inca Empire, now virtually extinct.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Over a hundred Warrior-level Sword Demon Sea Monsters, like immense swords themselves, sliced through the water, leaving behind distinct wave scars. They pierced one Four-Colored Demon body after another, spraying brilliant demon blood.
After this wave of impact, the defeat of the Four-Colored Demon horde was sealed!
The three Four-Colored Demon Commanders, sensing the unfavorable situation, growled lowly and attempted to flee—yet they were pursued and entangled by the Qian-Kun Twin Fiends and the Mermaid Holy Spirit.
There was no help for them. The Four-Colored Demons indeed had flaws—their coral reef-like bodies also carried the weakness of plantlike slowness.
With their group formation shattered, the rest were nothing but lambs awaiting slaughter in Lu Jun's eyes.
The three summons each had different responses against the Commanders' Fusion Magic.
Crack crack! The white-clothed ghostly woman's eyes shone piercingly. Medusa's Gaze erupted, releasing vast gray-white radiance. Wherever her gaze swept, the heavy seawater solidified inch by inch into gray clouds of powder—the seawater itself petrified, an unbelievable ability.
The surface layer of the Four-Colored Commander's faint yellow crystalline shield was corroded by the gray-white radiance, turning into stone. The Earth element of the Ice-Rock power fell into imbalance, breaking the Fusion Magic's equilibrium. Its defenses collapsed, and the body turned to stone as well.
On the other side, the mermaid maiden summoned Eclipse Holy Water, a surging black tide that crashed against the faint yellow shield. Though the Ice-Rock defense remained immovable, the Four-Colored Commander trembled unceasingly, its mind being eroded by the formless water.
When the Eclipse Tide receded, only an empty shell devoid of the slightest soul aura remained.
Roughly four to five hours later, after relentless pursuit and battle, Lu Jun had finally slaughtered all seven hundred Warrior. His six-element Magic was nearly exhausted.
The seabed in this region was torn apart, riddled with ravines, corpses scattered everywhere—the remnants of a brutal battle.
Lu Jun swept his gaze over the floating and sinking Four-Colored Demon corpses above and below. Despite his exhaustion, a smile appeared on his face. The White Tiger Pendant on his chest radiated platinum brilliance, collecting the seven hundred Warrior-level remnants and merging them into seven complete Soul Essences.
In addition, counting those coincidentally exploded out, there were a total of [fourteen Warrior Soul Essences] and [three Commander Remnants].
Buzz buzz buzz!
At once, he opened his portable space and stored over a dozen Warrior-level and three Commander-level Four-Colored Demon corpses, excavating only the internal organ crystals from the rest.
After all, no matter how much the Space System could store, it could not hold the corpses of an entire horde of Demons several dozen meters tall. If not for considering Fusion Magic experiments requiring more than just organ crystals, he would not have taken even a single corpse.
By now, even selling Warrior-level corpses, let alone Commander-level ones, brought Lu Jun nothing but a drop in the bucket.
Lu Jun once again drew the Beast Tide Gate, this time summoning entire groups of Sea Monkeys as helpers to harvest the organ crystals for him.
These demons resembled humans, nimble in both hand and foot—otherwise, harvesting from hundreds of corpses alone would have taken him an eternity.
He truly felt the convenience of the Summoning System's Spirit Carving Technique—a versatile all-environment adaptation.
Once the battlefield had been cleared, Lu Jun dared not delay, immediately activating Psychic Invisibility and Shadow Escape, swiftly departing from the area.
For he faintly sensed several fierce and imposing auras approaching. With the bloody stench spreading after such a great battle, it had alarmed certain Monarchs from the deep sea.
Splash!
Along the coastal resort beach, Lu Jun broke through the surface of the water, startling nearby tourists. He paid no attention to them, instead returning directly to the National Pavilion quarters.
Inside the hotel, Ai Jiangtu and the others had already returned. Judging from their joyous expressions, they had likely succeeded in challenging the Portuguese National Pavilion and earned the corresponding badge.
"We've all finished our challenges," Guan Yu glanced around, complaining, "But where's Mo Fan? He's always moving around freely with no sense of time. We could have already departed for the next location, and now we still have to wait several more days."
"No rush, resting here a few days will also do."
Hearing this, Lu Jun offered a few words of comfort. He estimated Mo Fan was currently exhausted, working hard as a caretaker. That Bounty Curse of Drowning would not be resolved in just a few days.
Once Lu Jun had spoken, Guan Yu did not voice any more complaints. The group dispersed, each retreating to their rooms to digest their gains.
This time Lu Jun had also reaped considerable harvest. Having faced Fusion Magic for the first time, knowing both oneself and the enemy was the only way to emerge victorious in every battle. Through the Metal Element's Catastrophe suppression, he vaguely grasped an understanding: Fusion Magic was still magic, not some bizarre, unsolvable forbidden art or heretical sorcery.
It could still be unraveled within the framework of magic.
However, Fusion Magic was far from simple. Two-element fusion was only the foundation. Three-element, four-element, even full-element fusion—just two elements alone could combine into dozens of variations, increasingly complex and difficult to break, enabling human mages to rival demons of the same level.
In Lu Jun's heart, an expectation could not help but arise. If his six Elements could merge into one, his increasingly vast powers would be refined and compressed.
"Fourteen Warrior-level Soul Essences, enough to unlock another Basic Tier Level Five spell."
Immediately, Lu Jun collected his thoughts, sorted through his harvest, and fixed his gaze on the only Element yet to reach Basic Tier Level Five—the Metal Element. Curiosity arose: the Level Four Tremor Force, but what would Level Five be?
Buzz! He guided the seven fist-sized azure-blue soul flames within the White Tiger Pendant, infusing them into the platinum-colored Star Galaxy. The seven core stars were successfully tempered, advancing to Level Five.
From this moment, Lu Jun's six Elements were all Basic Tier Level Five, and all Intermediate Tier Level Four. Any one of his magics could now be effective in High-Level battles.
Just as he raised the Metal Element to Level Five, an anomaly occurred within the platinum Star Galaxy. The central Tai'e Sword Insignia, encircled by the stars, trembled. Black-gold radiance glimmered, and it actively broke free of his spiritual world, manifesting into the external realm.
Clang!
Within the void, a black-gold dragon-pattern divine sword resounded. Its razor-sharp aura caused ripples of instability in space itself. Some profound spiritual essence gathered, similar to Psychic force, illuminating the Tai'e Sword.
At once, the sacred and majestic Tai'e Sword gave birth on one side to the sun, moon, and stars, mountains and rivers, while on the other side it derived birds, beasts, insects, fish, emperors and generals. Deep within, a spiritual treasure domain was opened, where a vague humanoid deity sat in the central seat of power.
