Taibai Mining Zone.
Lu Jun glanced at his sister Lu Mei and Jun Yaojin, then decided to leave this area.
Because he clearly understood the combat power of a Great Monarch–level demon. Even a dual-element Super Mage who had not mastered Super-tier magic could be killed instantly, let alone ordinary High-tier mages at full cultivation.
Euryale was targeting him, not the two women, so the best solution was for him alone to relocate and draw the Great Monarch demon away.
As for the Tai'a Sword, it did not matter. It possessed its own spirituality and could remain in place, autonomously refining the Taibai Xinjin mineral vein.
However, before leaving, Lu Jun still had one thing to do—cast a curse on Euryale from afar, blocking her perception.
At the same time, following several Monarch-level battles at the Taibai mineral vein, cities in southern Africa had gradually learned of what was happening here.
Great clans, the military, the Magic Association, the Hunters' Union, and all major powers were utterly astonished. Where had such a ruthless figure come from, killing Medusa and Scorpion Monarch one after another despite their racial guardians?
When the truth was uncovered, they were dumbfounded.
"National Government Number One, Chinese Team Captain Lu Jun? Wasn't this just child's play between academies? How could it incubate such a terrifying powerhouse?"
Davin of the Cape of Good Hope Magic Fortress, upon learning the full story, muttered to himself, "Damn it, stirring up such a huge mess over a small mineral vein with barely any value was it really worth it?"
Even so, he greatly admired Lu Jun. With such a brilliant record, Lu Jun could be considered a notable figure even across all of Africa.
Thus, the high-ranking figures treated the matter with solemn seriousness, truly acknowledging Lu Jun's status and position, and began discussing what response should be made.
After all, Lu Jun killing the Scorpion and Medusa demons was, to some extent, helping them.
Yet most people advocated a wait-and-see approach. Someone spoke confidently, "There's no need to interfere. This is a hunter's independent action and has nothing to do with the Magic Association."
An Egyptian representative sneered softly, "In the end, he's just an outsider. Daring to carry out mass slaughter against the Scorpion-Medusa race without proper investigation—does he have a death wish?"
"If we intervene rashly, we might bring disaster upon ourselves. You must understand that when the Medusa Empress is nearing death, beasts will make a final desperate struggle, dragging threatening existences down with them. Under the current circumstances, we should not act recklessly."
This single statement was decisive. All Super-tier councilors at the Cape of Good Hope assembly grew solemn, losing any interest in pressing the advantage.
None of the representatives of the major powers present were willing to become the unlucky ones to be targeted by Medusa's revenge.
Sacrificing oneself for others—what could one gain? Thus, Africa's overall stance was to contract its forces.
Many people with a strong sense of justice were indignant, but their voices were weak and incapable of shaking the decision.
"Sigh… we can only take some time to remind that powerhouse Lu Jun. Before he attracts the attention of the Medusa Mother, he should hurry and take a plane out of there."
News from Africa spread rapidly. Locals, hundreds of kilometers away, saw the direction of the Taibai mineral vein erupting with blood fiend qi soaring into the heavens, black seas collapsing mountains, underworld ghost gods, and various other phenomena. They photographed it and uploaded it online.
As a result, Lu Jun's popularity, which had never cooled down, surged once more, with countless netizens discussing fervently.
"Damn, wasn't Lu Jun just a rising star among the younger generation? How did he suddenly turn into one of those demon-slaying heroes we see on TV?"
Demons above the Monarch level were considered major enemies of human territory. Every time one was slain, the leader would be repeatedly reported on mainstream media for an entire week.
Netizens were watching for entertainment, but those on friendly terms with Lu Jun were secretly troubled.
Pang Lai, who was painstakingly collecting Thought Stones for Lu Jun in Europe, suddenly received a call from home. Shao Zheng requested that he protect this pillar of the nation.
Hearing this, Pang Lai gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "This youngster goes to Africa just to mine some ore and ends up turning the world upside down. Now I've become his babysitter."
Though he spoke lightly, he was deeply anxious inside. The Scorpion-Medusa race's vindictiveness was something he had long heard of. With Lu Jun alone and without local backing, it would be easy for him to suffer a major loss.
"A bunch of useless fools at the Cape of Good Hope Magic Association, ignoring China's inquiry. This was clearly beneficial to them."
Thinking of some of the infuriating matters Shao Zheng had casually mentioned, Pang Lai could not help but curse, no matter how well he cultivated his temperament.
On the other side, Lu Jun was unaware of the trivial affairs within human territory, but he could roughly guess the situation.
He had been slaughtering at the Taibai mineral vein for over twenty days without pause. Several major South African cities were only two to three hundred kilometers away, yet there was not the slightest reaction—none of their business, hanging it high.
Compared to the Scorpion-Medusa race's response, humanity's side was simply disgraceful.
Lu Jun could not be bothered with these decayed powers. He had no need to care about others in his actions. Moreover, his ambition to flatten demon races and expand territory was not for the sake of these current power holders, but for himself.
The Underworld King's divine position destined him to at least destroy the Egyptian Khufu Empire, the Undersea Undead Empire, and even the Ocean Empire.
Not to mention that deep in his heart, he had long promised to wipe out the Amazon Empire for the Inca Empire, and to help the Flame Belle Witch find the planting grounds of the Star-Whispering Heavenly Tree.
Once Lu Jun truly unleashed his full strength, it would mean that the five continental Magic Associations, the Holy City, the Parthenon, the Hunters' Union, and other top eight decayed powers would soon vanish into smoke.
He would never fight desperately for those aristocrats hiding in the rear, letting these people seize most of the benefits.
Lu Jun preferred a rule led by himself, swallowing all the benefits whole.
At this moment, in the Taibai Mining Zone, a flesh-and-blood altar constructed from countless snake-scorpion corpses had been erected, with baleful blood qi lingering without dispersing.
Lu Mei and the other woman stared at this scene in shock and asked in confusion,
"Lu Jun, what are you doing?"
"Returning a gift to Euryale."
Lu Jun stepped on the pile of snake-scorpion corpses beneath his feet and said with a cold sneer.
He had already mastered Super Tier Curse Magic. Although he was still not fully proficient, it did not hinder long-distance casting.
This magic was extremely special. Once the Curse Element reached the Super Tier, its forms became far more flexible, fully embodying the qualitative transformation in Super Tier elemental control.
Depending on the curse mage's personal research, one could release an exclusive, nearly unsolvable curse—each different, each exceedingly troublesome.
The Super Tier Curse Magic was called Curse Scripture.
When released, it manifested as an ancient Western parchment notebook appearing in one's hands, as though recording all sins and wickedness.
Lu Jun remembered this clearly. In the original canon, one of the Seven Archangels of the Holy City—Gabriel (Sasha)—Mo Fan's student, the younger sister of the Peruvian Brown Rebellion leader, and collaborator of Wu Ku, the Black Vatican's Pope—
She cultivated Curse Magic and often held an ancient book in her hands, which was suspected to be the physical manifestation of Super Tier Curse Magic.
Similarly, one of Jiuzhou's high-ranking figures, Lin Yi, who once acted against Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue as a couple, was also a Curse Mage. His signature ability was holding a Book of Death, transforming into a dark judge.
As for Lu Jun, he was unsure whether it was due to his Spiritual Heaven Realm, the Blood Abyss Curse, or the influence of the Ancient King's Black Armor—
The manifestation he obtained was a half-black, half-white ancient Chinese paper book, upon which three large characters were written:
Book of Life and Death.
Lu Jun's Super Tier Curse Magic—Book of Life and Death!
Also known as The Calamity Register of All Living Beings!
Unique.
Unmatched.
