Lu Jun gazed toward distant Japan, where an Evil God was born with a thunderous eruption.
The Evil Holy King, one of the Four Dark Kings, had returned!
A faint smile appeared on his lips. A terrifying existence like Red Devil Yiqiu could never be left unchecked. Ever since obtaining the authority over the Magic Plane, Lu Jun had secretly kept watch over him, forcing Red Devil into taking a desperate gamble.
In the end, Mo Fan successfully inherited the Red Devil Fruit.
In the original timeline, the one who forced Red Devil into that position had been the Holy City Archangel Sariel. Now, Lu Jun did not mind lending a helping hand.
Rip!
More importantly, Lu Jun closed his eyes and sensed it. A tearing sound echoed beside his ears. Gazing toward the farthest reaches of the boundless universe, he saw an ancient, immeasurable Plane of Darkness drifting through the void. The supreme divine throne, caught between two opposing authorities, was finally torn apart.
The Dark King's already crumbling throne, under the intervention of a new power, fell beneath the level of a True God. It no longer possessed the overwhelming might to dominate everything with a single hand.
"From this day onward, within this region of the multiverse, I alone am the one true god."
A smile curved across Lu Jun's lips. This time, after the Dark King's fall, he did not even dare utter a single threat. It was obvious that he had begun to fear Lu Jun.
Now, there remained only one final matter in the Magic Plane.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
He looked up toward the heavens of the plane. Endless Metal Aura and murderous intent converged as the brilliant Venus shone brilliantly, eclipsing even the radiance of the sun. The Metal Forbidden Spell, Venus Crossing the Heavens, was unleashed.
This was the ultimate offensive spell. The same celestial phenomenon had once appeared when Khufu's Pyramid descended.
Now, Lu Jun had completely mastered the power of Venus.
The next moment, the brilliant planet in the western sky blazed as it rapidly descended toward the continent of South America.
The entire Amazon Empire erupted into chaos. The Amazon Emperor, along with numerous Emperor-level beings, soared into the sky. Among them was the Six-Eyed Evil Insect Emperor.
However, as Venus crashed down with unstoppable force, immortal Metal Aura swept across the land. Every powerful being was transformed into magnificent metal statues in an instant. Each possessed a different color, reflecting a unique metallic property.
In that single moment, the Amazon Empire was annihilated.
Lu Jun remained expressionless as he casually waved his hand, collecting more than a dozen extraordinary metals into his possession.
Indeed, he had never forgotten the destruction of the Inca Empire. Since he had accepted their kindness, he naturally had the obligation to avenge them.
Venus Crossing the Heavens possessed the power to extinguish all life and convert its Origin into metal. After the deaths of more than a dozen Emperor-level beings, each was transformed into a unique metal according to the different Origin Powers they had possessed in life.
By destroying the Amazon Empire, Lu Jun had conveniently acquired more than a dozen powerful metals. Why would he refuse such a reward?
Moreover, his Metal Element had already advanced to the point where he could forge a second, third, fourth, and even more Natal Magic Tools. Each Metal Magic Tool required five special metals, and opportunities to obtain such exceptional materials were exceedingly rare.
"Everything is finally over."
Lu Jun looked back upon everything that had happened and found that nearly all karmic ties had been settled. His expression became complicated. All that remained was to fully spread Fusion Magic and begin exploring the Summoning Plane and the Dark Plane.
He reflected that, having become the ruler of the Magic Plane, he now bore responsibility not only toward humanity but also toward every Demon and living creature within the plane. That responsibility was to carry civilization forward, while he himself wished to continue evolving and transcending.
"Oh, right. Zhulong of the Summoning Plane. I still need to completely revive Him."
Lu Jun fell silent for a moment before deciding not to rush matters. He would quietly wait for humanity's magical civilization to continue its transformation. Sooner or later, it would step into the age of interstellar civilization.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
After several great wars and upheavals, magical society finally entered a prolonged era of peace.
First, the Military Strategy Office replaced the Holy City as the stable ruling authority. They taught the Fusion Method, accepted those with Calamity Afflictions, Forbidden Arts, and other extraordinary talents. Countless magical researchers gathered within the Research Institute, while an elite force of Military Strategy Guards swept through darkness and maintained order throughout the world.
The Magic Emperor, Lu Jun, personally created an entirely new Magic Element known as the Metal Element, granting it to mages who met the necessary qualifications.
Every Military Strategy Guard awakened the Metal Element. Their cultivation path typically consisted of Metal at the Basic-Tier, Light at the Mid-Tier, and either Blessing or Healing at the High-Tier. They inherited the combined legacies of the Military Strategy Office, the Holy City, and the Parthenon Temple, becoming humanity's ultimate warriors.
Every one of them was a monster capable of attacking, defending, healing, and providing blessings. Combined with the Fusion Method, they became truly all-around mages, each aspect of their strength reaching an invincible level among peers.
Only the outstanding geniuses from the world's two greatest academies, the Fusion Academy, and the Calamity Academy could defeat them. Ordinary social mages stood no chance.
Because the Military Strategy Guards constantly fought on the front lines against darkness while suppressing the great aristocratic clans, civilians in the West affectionately called them Holy Paladins, while those in the East referred to them as the Apocalyptics.
The second major event over the past three years caused an enormous global sensation.
The rulers of numerous Demon Empires personally entered human cities and traveled to the Holy City's Military Strategy Office to pay their respects to the Magic Emperor, Lu Jun.
This scene completely overturned the world's understanding. Never before had all races gathered to pay homage in such a manner.
After accepting the tribute of the Demon Emperors, Lu Jun established a Demon Legion, allowing the myriad races to coexist in a far more harmonious relationship.
As a result, magical civilization entered an unprecedented era of prosperity. Humanity gained countless new resources that had never existed before. Magical geniuses emerged one after another, the magical system evolved in countless new directions, and Forbidden Curse Mages appeared one after another.
Thanks to the existence of the Fusion Method, every mage developed unique combinations of abilities based on their own Innate Talents, giving birth to millions of new magical research achievements.
The World Research Institute announced that it had overcome its greatest technological obstacle, successfully creating Elemental Fusion, an infinite source of energy. They also designed magical floating cities and countless other inventions, signaling that the age of magical interstellar civilization was just around the corner.
Time continued to flow.
Another ten years passed.
At the headquarters of the Military Strategy Office, the Holy City underwent a decade-long mega engineering project. Through the efforts of tens of thousands of magical researchers, the world's first floating fortress finally ascended into the sky.
It was named Magic Emperor.
It would forever soar through the skies above the vast Magic Plane, endlessly patrolling the Seven Continents and Four Oceans.
The march toward conquering other worlds had quietly drawn near.
Over the following decade, gathering the resources of the entire Magic Plane, one floating city after another rose into the heavens.
There were a total of nine.
They represented the pinnacle of magical technology, the greatest creations ever forged for war. Every single one possessed the power to battle a Roof Emperor.
Above the Military Strategy Office, an endless curtain of darkness descended as a passage to the Dark Plane slowly opened.
Lu Jun stood at the forefront, filled with boundless confidence. Behind him stood Ding Yumian, Lu Mei, Mo Fan, and countless other powerful mages. During those twenty-plus years, he had continued growing stronger, drawing upon the achievements of the entire magical civilization. After a prolonged period of explosive development, he had finally reached the absolute peak.
Now, he could defeat ten versions of his former self.
"I never imagined that the Dark Holy Judgment, once used by the Holy City to execute heretics, would one day become a gateway to another world."
Mo Fan sighed with emotion, recalling the time Xin Xia had nearly been dragged into the Dark Plane by the Dark Holy Judgment.
"Heh. Su Lu's Dark River Forbidden Art provided quite a bit of inspiration. Only by combining the two could a stable, long-term passage be established."
Lu Jun smiled faintly before waving his hand.
"Let's go. Everyone this battle will mark our conquest of the Dark Plane."
