Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying divine power surged from Lu Jun's entire body, his aura climbing rapidly as he entered the Ascension state, with various characteristics of the White Tiger Divine Mark manifesting.
Across from him, Lu Xin was shocked. He had originally planned to lure the Black Serpent to attack and kill Lu Jun, thereby leaving incriminating evidence that could escalate the situation and drag Lu Jun down with him.
But he hadn't expected Lu Jun to possess a trump card capable of temporarily reaching quasi-monarch strength. No wonder he was able to subdue his eldest son, Lu Zhantian.
Councilman Lu Xin also unleashed his aura, his pupils glowing with pure silver radiance. A vast spiritual fluctuation rose from his brow bone he was actually a master of the Space Element as well.
The two clashed fiercely with their spiritual wills in mid-air brilliant silver radiance on one side, and dim silver brilliance on the other. Each dominated half the sky, turning the heavens into a dazzling daylit battlefield.
"Spatial Element? How is that possible?"
Lu Xin stared in disbelief. According to his intel, Lu Jun should only possess Water, Curse, and Summoning Elements.
Rumble!
He was being pushed back step by step by the violent spiritual force of the White Tiger. The brilliant silver glow receded like a tidal wave, now only barely protecting his body.
Lu Jun hovered high in the sky, overlooking the ground below. He spoke calmly, "There's far too much you don't know."
With no prying eyes present, he could finally unleash all his abilities without restraint. His arms slowly extended, and the platinum sword wings on his back unfurled like a metal angel, his graceful figure radiated divine majesty.
Now that he had entered the Acsention state, all six of his elemental magics were burning rapidly. Likewise, all six elements were undergoing extreme sublimation. His deadliest offensive magic was no longer Curse or Water.
It was the advanced Metal Element!
The other three advanced elements required long setups and had various functions, but only the Metal Element was pure slaughter.
Ordinarily, it wasn't convenient to unleash but now, one spell could end the battle.
Buzz—
The next moment, a vast and majestic platinum magic formation interwove above Lu Jun's head, floating at the end of the firmament. It shone brilliantly, and the air suddenly grew sharp and heavy. An ordinary person would be shredded to dust the instant they entered this realm.
Heaven and earth became misty and blurred, as if a towering, colossal dimension had descended from countless light-years away to overlap with the mortal world. A terrifying killing intent filled the surroundings, the sharp aura rampaging.
At this moment, Lu Xin felt an ominous premonition. He tried to escape but was horrified to find he couldn't move. Even his spiritual sea was locked he couldn't summon any power to resist.
It was as if a giant metallic world had pressed down upon him, combined with Space and Psychic powers that locked his body and soul.
He could only receive divine judgment.
Behind Lu Jun surged a vast expanse of platinum brilliance. A corner of the resplendent Metal Divine Realm was revealed.
There, golden ancient bells, bronze divine cauldrons, black-gold Dao swords, and supreme holy towers sparkled with light, rising and falling. Looking ahead, this was a world of divine treasures forged of metal.
However, as the pitch-black-golden Tai'e Divine Sword shot out from between Lu Jun's brows and resonated with the celestial [Tai Bai Divine Repository], most of the weaponry and magic artifacts faded away, leaving behind only countless swords—densely packed, infinite in number, of every shape and form forming a sword rain forest, a mountain range of blades.
When Metal Magic reaches the advanced level of Tai Bai Divine Repository, it undergoes a stunning transformation. Based on the natal artifact forged at the Basic Level, it can summon weapons of the same type for slaughter.
His natal magic artifact was the Tai'e Sword, so naturally, upon casting this spell, the manifestation would take the form of "swords."
Of course, Lu Jun understood deeply that whether sword, saber, fork, halberd, or bell, tower, cauldron, mirror all were essentially manifestations of the purest innate Gengxin Metal Qi, their external forms merely different.
Aside from the [Sky-Piercing Sword Formation], he could faintly sense that the ancient royal armor robe could summon corresponding metallic armors. Unfortunately, it hadn't been fully refined as a natal item yet and couldn't be used.
Fortunately, he controlled this Tai Bai Divine Repository. With the Ascension state bolstering him, he felt an endless divine power coursing through him, capable of dealing devastating blow even to a true Monarch.
Lu Jun gazed down at Lu Xin, raised his hand high, and swung it down with force. "It all ends now!"
In that instant, the platinum magic array in the sky flashed brilliantly. Tens of thousands of sword lights rained down from the heavens, surging forth to slash at Lu Xin without pause.
The special effects of [Diamond] and [Doom] were both activated, coating every blade with gleaming golden light and a grayish-white aura of death and destruction.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Heaven and earth were filled with the sharp platinum divine swords. Each blade radiated sword intent, soaring into the sky. Every sword was like a flood dragon, unstoppable and piercing through space, forming a terrifying sea of blades, stretching endlessly its killing aura shaking the world.
They surged forth in a mighty wave, engulfing Councilman Lu Xin in a devastating assault that made one's soul tremble.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Super Tier Lu Xin struggled with all his might, forcefully channeling his spatial consciousness. Layers upon layers of silver brilliance cloaked him, yet under the penetrating grayish-white calamity aura, all defenses were rendered useless.
Ahhh! He screamed in agony, his flesh and soul disintegrated amidst the endless intertwining golden lights, reduced to ashes and the finest particulate matter.
When everything settled, the dazzling platinum radiance gradually receded, and the Divine Repository of Taibai returned to rest. Even the magical formation high above in the sky began to fade.
Lu Jun returned to his original form, his breathing now ragged, his face pale his magical energy was completely depleted. The two consecutive transformations into the White Tiger's true form, though each brief, had consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
Fortunately, neither Lu Xin nor Lu Zhantian were particularly powerful Super Tier mages. The former was slightly better, a multi-element Super Tier, while the latter was merely at early Super Tier, and hadn't even grasped Transcendence Force. That's why they were so easily annihilated.
Still, Lu Jun was increasingly grateful that he had chosen the Demonic Relic to refine the cursed substance [Blood Abyss]. Otherwise, facing even the weakest Super Tier mages especially if they casually donned their ancient Royal Armored Robes he might have quickly degenerated into a living corpse.
Sensing the end of battle, the Black Serpent swiftly withdrew the blue mist flowing in from all directions, pulling it back into the Totem Pearl.
Outside, upon seeing this, Tang Yue and the others were overjoyed and immediately rushed to Lu Jun's side. Tang Yue reached out to support him, letting him lean against her plump and soft body.
Ding Yumian arrived a moment later. She pursed her lips and softly asked, "It's all settled, right?"
Lu Jun slowly nodded, then shook his head. "The three masterminds have been crushed to dust. Now it depends on what the other Lu Family branches will say."
He paused and added, "As well as how those higher up plan to handle this."
Lu Jun had made an enormous scene this time cutting a bloody path from the Magic City's downtown all the way to the Lu Family's main estate, slashing through over a dozen streets without batting an eye. More critically, he had killed Councilman Lu Xin.
It was one thing to kill someone like Luo Mian, who had committed grave sins. But Lu Xin was a legitimate and high-ranking figure. Even someone like Mo Fan was cautious about killing such people.
But Lu Jun didn't regret it. Only by doing this could he intimidate everyone.
Besides, he had plenty of trump cards. Worst case, he could simply retreat to the Undead Empire and lay low for a while.
Not long after, several figures descended from the sky Principal Xiao, Presiding Judge Tang Zhong, and other Super Tier members had arrived. Their faces were grim, visibly shaken by the trail of slaughter they had just witnessed.
Members of the Lu Family also showed up, hoping to resolve the matter peacefully.
