Lu Jun had now perfected the cultivation methods of all eight Elements, with every enhancement fully complete.
All that remained was to continue raising the cultivation of his eight Elements. As his cultivation advanced, the power of his magic would increase, and his magical energy reserves would continue to grow.
Once all eight Elements reached complete Super-tier Level cultivation, his Divine Ascension State, combined with the Fusion Method, would barely allow him to touch the threshold of a Ruler Emperor.
If his three Contract Beasts all advanced to the Emperor Level and he fused them through the Myriad Beast Mark, he might even be able to firmly stand within the ranks of Ruler Emperors.
Unfortunately, Lu Jun estimated that even by the time his Summoning Element reached the Forbidden Curse Level, neither the Water Elemental Holy Spirit nor the Night Thunder Dream Beast would necessarily become Sub-Emperors.
As for the Scared Flower, the chances of advancing from a Sub-Emperor into a true Emperor were equally slim.
Lu Jun shook his head.
There was no need to think that far ahead.
For now, the advancement of his Life and Death Elements to the Super-tier had not dramatically increased his overall combat strength.
At present, he had merely advanced into the upper ranks among Emperor-level beings.
Of course, that was another story altogether if he fused with Ding Yumian's Main Soul Persona and the Scared Flower.
He felt that his growth had been more horizontal than vertical.
The Life and Death Elements were simply too effective at preserving his life.
They had practically turned him into a tank-type Emperor.
If he was willing to fight recklessly without concern for his own life, he could even restrain the weakest of the Ruler Emperors.
Yes...
I'm talking about you, Queen Crimson Skeleton!
It was much like the Night Thunder Dream Beast's former Yellow Springs Bloodline.
If you said it was strong, then its offensive power was only around that of an average Monarch.
Against a Supreme Monarch, it was hardly worth mentioning.
But if you claimed it was weak, it clung to its opponent like an unshakable piece of chewing gum, refusing to let go no matter what.
Lu Jun took a deep breath before silently testing the Transcendental Power of his Life and Death Elements.
There was nothing particularly surprising.
Both originated directly from the Super-tier Spells Genesis and Day of Twilight.
The two were highly unified, and after all, Transcendental Power naturally evolved from Super-tier Magic.
He first looked inward at the blood flowing through his body.
Near his heart floated several drops of crimson-gold blood resembling precious gemstones.
Every drop was incomparably condensed, radiating divine brilliance and boundless light.
The life force contained within each one was as vast and profound as an endless ocean.
Faint strands of immortality also surrounded them.
This was the Life Element's Transcendental Power—Undying Blood!
It served as the source for activating Genesis · Transcendence.
One drop allowed a single Nirvana.
Not only would it completely restore him to full health and peak condition after death, but it would also restore his youth, evolve his body, and give birth to an entirely new physique.
Every drop of Undying Blood required an extremely long period of nurturing.
Meanwhile, under the influence of this Life Element Transcended Power, all the ordinary blood throughout his body would gradually be nourished and transformed.
One day, every drop of blood flowing through him would become truly undying blood.
When that time came, his lifespan would become endless.
Even regenerating from a single drop of blood would be effortless.
Furthermore, Undying Blood could also be bestowed upon others.
It would allow them to undergo a complete shedding of their old selves, achieving Nirvana and rebirth.
That made it extraordinarily useful.
At the very least, if he truly attained immortality in the future, he would no longer have to worry about people close to him such as his sister Lu Mei, Ding Yumian, Tang Yue, and the others, eventually reaching the end of their natural lifespans.
He might not be able to grant them true immortality.
But allowing them to enjoy extraordinary longevity and remain by his side would certainly be possible.
Next, Lu Jun focused his consciousness upon every bone throughout his body.
His originally jade-white skeleton had transformed into a deep, pitch-black color.
It radiated an indestructible obsidian-like brilliance while a faint twilight-colored glow slowly spread from it.
The instant his spiritual power touched it, everything seemed to freeze into stillness.
This was the Death Element's Transcendental Power—Bones of the Dead!
It allowed him to permanently anchor Day of Twilight · Constant Light upon himself.
As long as his magical energy had not been exhausted, he would remain truly undying.
This was vastly more useful than the Level Five Basic Spell of the Space Element, Voidform, which merely avoided incoming damage.
From this alone, one could already glimpse the future.
Once the Life and Death Elements advanced to the Forbidden Curse Level and these two Transcendental Power evolved into Divine Endowments, every drop of blood in his body would become Undying Blood, every bone would be filled with the radiance of twilight.
Granting him true longevity and immortality.
Lu Jun slowly closed his eyes before abruptly opening them again.
One of his pupils had turned blood-black, while the other shone sacred blue.
Around him, the characteristics of all eight Transcendental Power manifested one after another.
Nether Eyes, Eyes of Imagination, Taibai Palace, Northern Sea, Myriad Beast Mark, Flawless Domain, Undying Blood, and Bones of the Dead!
At that moment, his aura rose continuously.
The countless phenomena surrounding him made him resemble a Holy King standing above the Nine Heavens.
Every gesture released immortal radiance that pierced the skies, opening a hazy world shrouded in primordial chaos.
For the first time, his blood emitted divine light.
His bones shone brilliantly.
His overwhelming strength remained completely restrained within his body.
Without question, the Transcendental Power of the Life and Death Elements had already begun to reveal themselves during his battle against Su Lu.
Only now had they finally been fully cultivated.
Everything had happened naturally, smoothly, and without the slightest obstacle.
Lu Jun took another deep breath.
The feeling of becoming increasingly invincible was simply exhilarating.
With a single thought, he activated both the Life and Death Elements and channeled them into his eyes.
In an instant, the phenomena within Lu Jun's eyes evolved even further.
The sacred blue radiance in his left eye gradually blossomed into a holy pure white.
Meanwhile, as the blood-black brilliance overflowed from his right eye, a strand of gray light was born within it.
Divine runes intertwined throughout both pupils...
Until the two layers overlapped.
Double Pupils! The visage of an ancient Sage.
Lu Jun had never expected that he himself would soon develop such an extraordinary phenomenon.
He could clearly sense that both of his eyes were accumulating immense power. The sacred blue and pure white of one eye, along with the blood-black and ash-gray of the other, flashed only for an instant before both merged into a hazy, chaotic gray radiance.
"Hiss... Could this be the unified four-Element Divine Endowment that I'm about to awaken?"
He drew in a sharp breath.
All he could perceive was that his pair of eyes was undergoing transformation and sublimation, becoming eternal and indestructible while containing immeasurable power.
They possessed the potential to create heaven and earth...
Or bring about the end of all existence.
"When all four Elements simultaneously reach the Half-Forbidden Curse stage, perhaps it will be completely born by then. I could call it Samsara Divine Pupils?"
As the thought arose, enlightenment suddenly dawned upon Lu Jun.
Just then, within the boundless void, the dormant Candle Dragon finally stabilized its surging aura.
Borrowing the power of life and death released during Lu Jun's breakthrough, along with the essence of longevity, it had successfully revived nearly half of itself.
The Candle Dragon had officially stepped halfway into the realm of a Roof Emperor.
Silently observing the changes occurring to Lu Jun, it suddenly spoke.
"For the time being, don't rush your Curse Element and Psychic Element into the Forbidden Curse Realm. Otherwise, you may miss the opportunity to fully condense this unparalleled pair of divine eyes."
The Candle Dragon continued with unmistakable admiration.
"If this composite Divine Endowment of yours is truly born, then its future potential will be no weaker than my own Candle Dragon Eyes."
Lu Jun was genuinely surprised.
He suppressed the extraordinary phenomena surrounding him, never expecting the Candle Dragon to hold such a high opinion of his Divine Endowment.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Candle Dragon suddenly moved.
It slowly opened its eyes.
The world was once again flooded with brilliant light.
Most of that radiance carried the silent, twilight hue of death, while a smaller portion shone with dazzling, majestic sunlight, vast and resplendent.
It perfectly reflected the Candle Dragon's current condition.
It was recovering remarkably well.
In the next instant, from its pupils, which rivaled the sun and moon themselves two beams of divine light shot forth and flew directly into Lu Jun's eyes.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding radiance gradually dimmed.
The Candle Dragon wearily closed its eyes once more.
Lu Jun felt a gentle warmth spreading through his eyes.
The evolution of his Samsara Divine Pupils accelerated dramatically, completing more than half of their transformation in an instant.
The divine patterns woven throughout them became even more profound and intricate.
At the same time, countless insights into the Great Dao of Yin and Yang flooded into his mind.
He asked in astonishment,
"What is this?"
The Candle Dragon's thunderous voice echoed throughout the universe.
"This is my gift of gratitude."
"It contains a portion of my Yin-Yang Origin."
"Even before your Life and Death Elements have fully reached the required standard, it will accelerate the growth of your Samsara Divine Pupils."
"You'll also be able to wield part of their power in advance."
"You'll simply need to nurture them afterward for a period of time, and avoid using them too frequently."
Upon hearing that, Lu Jun was overjoyed.
The Samsara Divine Pupils...
He could only imagine how overwhelmingly powerful they would become.
He was already eager to test them.
The Candle Dragon proudly declared,
"I am Yin and Yang incarnate by nature."
"Now, having undergone transformation through both life and death, my divine abilities have advanced even further."
"When it comes to comprehending the Laws of Life and Death, my understanding is undoubtedly deeper than yours."
