Within Khufu's Underworld.
The dark, gloomy sky had its black death clouds blasted apart as dazzling magic of every color shot into the heavens. Brilliant radiance stretched across ten thousand li, while endless waves of energy swept in every direction.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Across the vast underworld, one magnificent pyramid after another was violently reduced to rubble.
The Undead Pharaohs stationed within them were dragged out by the various powerhouses and blasted apart in midair.
The little White Tiger charged at the forefront.
Opening its enormous, bloodstained jaws, it lunged downward, seized an Undead Pharaoh's head from within the ruins of a pyramid, and viciously flung it away, instantly tearing its head from its body.
Crack! Crack!
It wasn't finished yet.
With a ferocious swipe of its tiger paw, a surging tide of icy blue frost spread outward, freezing everything within a hundred li.
The Pharaoh's body was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture before being casually crushed into countless pieces beneath the White Tiger's paws.
Elsewhere, the Chongming Bird cried out, sweeping forth a crimson-gold sea of flames that soared tens of thousands of meters into the sky.
The blazing inferno resembled the harmonious union of heaven and earth.
Its sacred and auspicious aura strongly repelled undead creatures, reducing several Commander-level Pharaohs to ashes.
Lu Weixi also stepped forward.
After years of secluded cultivation, his Light Element, empowered by his Calamity Talent, had already reached the Third Level of Super Tier.
At this moment, every inch of his body radiated dazzling golden light.
Even his hair had become crystal-clear gold.
He resembled a blazing sun, releasing countless rays of divine brilliance.
Several nearby Commander-level mummies were instantly vaporized, swallowed by the boundless ocean of holy light.
Meanwhile, Lu Mei stood tall and graceful.
Six crimson phoenix wings spread behind her back as she hovered in the sky like the Holy Maiden of the Vermilion Bird.
Her beautiful face remained cold and dignified.
With a single palm strike, the powers of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water revolved together, recreating the phenomenon of Primordial Chaos.
Boom!
With one thunderous explosion, the several Dark Sword Masters of the Pharaoh King's Imperial Guard standing before Lu Mei were instantly torn apart and completely annihilated by the overwhelming destructive power of Chaos.
Thus, every force under Khufu's command was swept away.
When Lu Jun finally arrived before the enemy stronghold, gripping the Tai'a Sword, his figure shot into the heavens.
His Acesntion State erupted.
At that instant, every elemental force in heaven and earth became violently turbulent.
With a single slash, the magical energy of all eight Elements fused into one.
Like Yin and Yang splitting dawn from dusk, an immense sword light stretched across the heavens, cleaving into the colossal central pyramid.
The very tip of the pyramid was forcibly sliced off, crashing to the ground and leaving behind an enormous crater.
Suddenly from the depths of the pyramid, an enormous sinister shadow towering tens of thousands of meters into the sky burst forth.
It gradually shrank until it assumed the size of an ordinary human.
Its body was wrapped in pristine white pharaoh robes.
In its hand rested an exalted royal staff.
The moment it appeared, the world instantly darkened.
An eerie pale Underworld radiance slowly spread outward.
The supreme aura of an Emperor surged across the heavens.
Visions of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and countless fallen experts appeared.
An ominous and sinister atmosphere enveloped everything.
Though standing alone, Khufu completely suppressed the million-strong undead army, dozens of Super Tier Commanders, and several Supreme Monarch who stood only half a step away from becoming Emperors.
He stood proudly in the void, unmatched beneath heaven.
Khufu had finally taken the field.
Left with no choice.
With every subordinate gone, he stood alone.
Among Emperors, it was an undeniably pitiful sight.
For a moment, the entire world fell silent.
The sacred Totem power surrounding the Chongming Bird, Sea Eagle, and the Moon Moth Phoenix gradually subsided.
As for the little White Tiger it reacted even more decisively.
With a whoosh, it immediately turned around and fled back toward its own army, hiding behind Lu Jun and pressing tightly against Qin Yu'er's side.
Everyone present could clearly sense just how terrifying the Underworld God Khufu truly was.
Although separated by only a single realm...
A Supreme Monarch couldn't even survive one move before an Emperor.
Even the aftershocks of such a battle would erase them like insignificant dust.
Back when Lu Jun first entered his Ascension State, he had already been capable of battling Supreme Monarch.
Yet it wasn't until six Elements reached Super Tier that he finally crossed the threshold of the Forbidden Curse Realm.
Reaching Emperor-level combat power had demanded far more effort.
The mission of the Evil Abyss allied forces had come to an end.
From this point onward, the battlefield belonged solely to Emperors.
The million undead retreated thousands of li to avoid being caught in the battle's aftermath.
At that moment, Lu Jun's expression grew solemn.
No matter what, Khufu possessed authority over Death.
Even among Emperors, he undoubtedly stood near the pinnacle.
Moreover, this time there was no Hua Zhanhong.
No Black Dragon Emperor.
Nor any members of the Forbidden Curse Association to assist him.
This would be a true one-on-one battle.
Against an unparalleled enemy.
Buzz!
Khufu moved first.
Raising the Staff of the Underworld God high into the air, strands of pale Underworld radiance intertwined, forming countless divine spears across the sky.
They filled the heavens in tightly packed formations.
Each spearhead gleamed with chilling light while sinister crimson energy flowed across its surface.
An unmistakable aura of inevitable death spread outward.
The next instant, the endless rain of Underworld God Spears tore through space as they all shot directly toward Lu Jun.
The void itself split apart beneath their divine might.
Without the slightest fear, Lu Jun swung the Tai'a Sword, unleashing a circular black-and-white sword wheel.
The battlefield's powers of Life and Death surged violently.
One Underworld God Spear after another exploded apart.
The remaining black-and-white sword light continued sweeping toward the Underworld God like the dividing line between day and night.
Slash!
Both men let out muffled groans.
Blood sprayed from their bodies simultaneously.
Khufu failed to dodge in time.
The hem of his white robe was sliced apart.
A deep sword wound exposing bone appeared across his thigh.
Beneath the white burial wrappings...
There was living flesh filled with vitality.
As for Lu Jun a blossom of blood exploded from his shoulder.
One ghostlike Underworld God Spear pierced straight through him, leaving behind a gruesome bloody hole.
Immediately afterward the flesh around Khufu's wound rapidly changed from healthy pink to dark-red corpse flesh.
It shriveled and withered like a dehydrated mummy.
With a casual wave of his hand, the wound mysteriously healed without leaving behind a single drop of blood.
"Heh... heh... heh..."
Khufu spoke for the first time.
In a hoarse voice, he said,
"I command Death itself."
"The concept of death no longer exists within my body."
"You can never kill me."
"So how could you possibly be my opponent?"
Lu Jun replied coldly,
"A false god who hasn't even obtained the Throne of the Underworld dares call himself the God of Death?"
His powerful physique surged with abundant vitality.
Life force burst forth.
The bloody hole in his shoulder rapidly closed and regenerated.
Without even using Healing Magic the perfect regenerative ability of his body alone completely restored the wound.
"Kill!"
The auras of both combatants exploded.
One radiated countless streams of divine brilliance.
The other was shrouded in the flowing aura of deathly annihilation.
Their figures shot toward one another at incredible speed before colliding violently in midair.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang through heaven and earth.
The sky itself split open into a vast, pitch-black abyss.
Layer after layer of space collapsed.
Destructive energy ran rampant.
Wave after wave of terrifying shockwaves flattened every ridge and mountain across the desolate land.
Khufu and Lu Jun both shuddered simultaneously.
At times, a murderous sword light cleaved away half a shoulder.
At others, a heavy royal staff caved in a chest.
Both suffered grievous injuries.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yet before either could fully recover, they charged at each other once again.
The endless collision of dazzling light illuminated half the heavens.
The horrifying force pierced straight through the Underworld itself.
Its radiance broke into the outside world, casting a blood-red sunset over Cairo, all of North Africa, and even the vast Middle East.
Lu Jun fought like a madman.
His right hand wielded the Tai'a Sword.
His left was clenched into a fist.
Raising his sword, it trembled violently.
Thousands upon thousands of Sword Beams of Life and Death slashed forward.
At the same time, crimson light flooded the battlefield, completely engulfing the surrounding area.
His left fist gathered the characteristics of all eight Transcendental Powers one after another.
A terrifying Chaos-infused punch erupted forth, shattering the void itself.
This was an absolute killing move.
Even an Emperor could not withstand it.
In an instant, Khufu's body was riddled with countless holes.
His white robes of the Underworld God were reduced to tatters.
A jade-white hand pierced straight through his chest.
With brutal force, it tore apart layers of flesh, snapped apart pitch-black ribs, and crushed the Underworld God's heart with a single squeeze.
Khufu was no less terrifying.
His colossal royal staff descended like the heavenly pillar supporting the Underworld collapsing from above.
It smashed apart the Flawless Domain.
Half of Lu Jun's body was blown to pieces.
Neither the Beast King Mark nor the Death Skeleton could withstand the impact.
Even his chest was crushed inward.
The two fought like deranged Gods of War.
They had completely abandoned defense.
Neither feared death.
They attacked each other with relentless, all-out ferocity.
