Chapter 577: Turbulent Situation, Closed-Door Cultivation in the Fiend Abyss
The Tyrant Mountains… ah, they were now called the Black Flame Wasteland.Lu Jun drew an ultra-large teleportation formation, enveloping the Black Dragon Emperor within it as he prepared to return to the Fiend Abyss.
An Emperor-level Forbidden Curse battle had erupted here, attracting countless eyes. It was no longer suitable to remain for long.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Endless silver radiance burst from Lu Jun's body as the void in the heavens shifted unpredictably. Layer upon layer of dimensions emerged, and the majestic body of the Black Dragon Emperor sank into a starry universe before vanishing in the blink of an eye.
At the original location, both Asharuiya and Norman sighed softly before turning away with lingering emotions and memories.
Not long afterward, dazzling streaks of rainbow light sped through the sky.
They were Forbidden Curse and Super Tier experts from the various major factions of Europe. After arriving at the site of the battle, they stared at the devastated landscape with expressions of utter shock.
"This is Dragon Flame?! Could there still be a True Dragon in this world?!"
"What terrifying destructive power. As expected of a True Dragon, it absolutely reached the Emperor level."
"Can anyone trace where it went?"
"No idea. There's residual dimensional energy here. It probably escaped. Such teleportation methods are incredibly profound, even I, a Space Element Forbidden Curse mage, can't trace it."
The crowd discussed heatedly, filled with shock and amazement.
Then came the Hunter King Huo Bai of the Hunter Union.
As Hunter King, his status was no lower than the leaders of the Five Continents Magic Associations, the Great Angels of the Holy City, or the Parthenon Goddess.
This supreme organization spread across the entire world, and its higher-ups constantly traveled everywhere to guard humanity against demon Emperors.
Huo Bai was a Forbidden Curse mage of the Undead Element. Sweeping his gaze around, his brows furrowed as he keenly sensed traces of death.
Not only were there remnants of Undead Element energy, but a Forbidden Curse-level existence had fallen here!
After conducting a thorough investigation and tracing identities, he arrived at a shocking conclusion.
"It was Su Lu, chairman of the Asian Magic Association. He's dead! Killed by a True Dragon!"
"How is that possible?!"
The experts were horrified.
Dubai was not far from here, and the powerful mages immediately rushed there to investigate.
Very soon, the news spread across the world like a catastrophic storm.
Su Lu and Xi Zhe, two Forbidden Curse mages, along with several peak-level experts and over a hundred Super Tier mages, had all been annihilated by the Black Dragon Emperor, the former follower of the Holy Child Wentai.
For a time, the world situation became turbulent.
Those with insight could only sigh toward the heavens.
"The fortune of Jiuzhou is flourishing indeed, truly fortunate."
Lu Jun paid no attention to such peripheral matters.
He settled the Black Dragon Emperor within the Fiend Abyss. The endless silent continent there was vast enough for the majestic True Dragon to move freely.
The Black Dragon Emperor lay down not far from the White Dusky Palace and fell into deep sleep like an enormous black mountain range.
Nine Nether Queen was filled with uncertainty and awe, her respect toward the new king Lu Jun rising greatly.
To actually bring back a True Dragon truly incredible.
Meanwhile, Lu Jun had already entered secluded cultivation.
The White Tiger Pendant around his neck shimmered continuously, and the peak Star Sea magic tool endlessly released gentle energy, causing all eight of his magic systems to improve at astonishing speed every single moment.
However, after returning, the first thing he researched was not the Transcendent Powers of the newly advanced Super Tier Summoning and Space-Time Elements.
Instead, he focused on the second-stage effect of the Psychic Element Super Tier spell, True Spirit Dreamscape.
"The Great Thousand Samsara Mirror…"
Countless thoughts drifted through Lu Jun's mind.
This Fusion Magic had inspired him tremendously.
Since enemies could fall into a True Dreamscape and reincarnate endlessly for eternity…
Could he not also descend into a dream that was both real and false, live through a thousand years in a single dream, and rapidly accumulate boundless foundations?
Right now, Lu Jun lacked neither resources nor talent.
What he lacked was cultivation time.
Ever since slaying the Evil Dragon Emperor, more than half a year had already passed. The Pacific Empire was growing restless, and a great war was on the verge of erupting.
Being able to contend with Emperor-level beings was still not enough.
His combat strength had to reach the level where he could independently slay Emperors. Otherwise, he would not even qualify to interfere in this war concerning the survival of entire races.
As Lu Jun gradually comprehended deeper truths and repeatedly experimented, the second-stage effect of the True Dreamscape slowly condensed into [A Dream of Yellow Millet].
Based upon the first-stage Peach Blossom Spring dreamscape, the host could now actively enter reincarnation dreams, living through decades within a single dream, cultivating, battling, and tempering themselves as though inside a real world.
Of course, the drawback was equally obvious.
Every use consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power, leaving Lu Jun unable to cast it again for quite some time afterward.
Against enemies, however, it became even more terrifying.
Because the illusion was too realistic, opponents might completely exhaust their soul power without ever realizing anything was wrong.
The phrase "Yellow Millet Dream" referred to an old story.
A man accidentally fell asleep while cooking millet rice. Within the dream, he experienced an entire lifetime, yet when he awoke, the millet had only just finished cooking.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Without hesitation, Lu Jun controlled the Psychic Element Star Palace.
Behind him, a vast radiant transparent Star Palace rose high into the sky. His soul became elusive and unstable as it escaped into a hidden dream realm.
Meanwhile, his physical body quietly fell asleep.
Inside the dreamscape, Lu Jun still remained within the Fiend Abyss and could freely cast every magic system, almost no different from reality itself.
First, he controlled the Super Tier Star Palace of the Space-Time Element.
Half a month passed.
With the support of his overwhelming spiritual power, he mastered it smoothly and no longer required his Acensention State to cast it.
Furthermore, he could now release one Super Tier spell every second.
Afterward, Lu Jun began painstakingly cultivating the Transcendent Power methods of the Summoning and Space-Time Elements.
Day after day, failure after failure, he continuously corrected and modified his methods, steadily following the established path while his control improved nonstop.
Immersed within cultivation like this, two months finally passed.
Then one day, Lu Jun's body suddenly trembled.
Complex and rugged beast-pattern totems surfaced across his body, while a dazzling immortal radiance spread around him.
"Success!"
Joy surged within Lu Jun's heart.
The Transcendent Powers of the two elements had finally been born.
Yet along with that breakthrough came an overwhelming exhaustion rising from the depths of his body.
His consciousness blurred slightly as he examined his own condition. His soul was already extremely fatigued, and the remaining duration of the dream realm was running out.
The reason was simple, he had focused entirely on cultivation and demanded absolute realism, causing the dream's energy consumption to become excessive. He had forcibly compressed several decades of an entire lifetime into merely a few months.
"Continue!"
Having tasted the benefits, Lu Jun dared not waste any time and wanted to immediately begin meditating to restore magic energy.
At that moment, however, he discovered a flaw.
Meditating inside the dream realm did not truly feed back into reality. The magic energy of his real magic systems had not increased in the slightest.
Only technical abilities and skills could be repeatedly trained and improved within the dreamscape.
"Sigh… makes sense. If cultivation itself could also increase, that would be way too overpowered."
Lu Jun sighed before switching to practicing his Fusion Magic method, striving to improve his proficiency with it.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Suddenly, violent rumbling sounds echoed beside Lu Jun's ears.
He snapped out of his immersed state and looked around, only to see the world of the Fiend Abyss collapsing inch by inch.
The True Dreamscape had shattered.
The Dream of Yellow Millet had ended!
He only felt his soul plunging downward wildly before sinking into a warm harbor.
In the next instant, Lu Jun's real body awakened from deep sleep.
As he opened his eyes, a deep exhaustion flashed through them. His head buzzed painfully, and he felt an overwhelming urge to immediately sleep for another nine days and nights.
Seeing this, he forced himself to gather some spirit and calculated the passage of time with the information transmitted from his Space-Time Element.
Only a little over thirty minutes had passed in reality.
Yet in his perception, it felt unimaginably long, to the point where his sense of time had nearly become distorted.
"Forget it I'll just sleep."
Lu Jun relaxed mentally and immediately collapsed back into sleep.
He lay there quietly within the white sleeping palace. Anyone unaware of the situation might have mistaken him for a corpse.
A full nine days and nine nights passed.
During that time, both Nine Nether Queen and Lu Mei came to check on him several times. Only after confirming that nothing was wrong did they finally leave.
When Lu Jun's soul had recovered sufficiently, he naturally awakened.
He straightened his body and sat upright, his expression blank and dazed.
Only after a long while did he finally remember what had happened and immediately begin checking his condition.
