Whether it was Khufu or Lu Jun, both had reached the pinnacle of Necromancy and Healing Magic[Life Magic].
As long as they had even a single breath left, they could recover to full condition. Both had also mastered resurrection techniques, possessing more than one life.
Naturally, their battle was unimaginably brutal and bloody, completely unlike an ordinary clash between Emperors.
The style of combat had strayed so far from the norm that it was in a league of its own.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Supreme White Golden Palace within Lu Jun's chest rang loudly.
Threads of indestructible golden essence erupted, releasing dazzling platinum brilliance that forcefully blasted the heavy Staff of the Underworld God out of his chest.
Clang!
An overwhelming force struck Khufu, sending his battered body flying backward.
Yet with a surge of Underworld power, his flesh rapidly regenerated in mid-flight.
Without the slightest fear of death, he charged forward again, swinging his royal staff.
Boundless Underworld radiance descended, as though mountains of corpses and seas of blood had collapsed from the heavens themselves.
In that instant, Lu Jun staggered through the void, nearly being smashed out of the sky.
"Excellent!"
Lu Jun roared.
Pure blood surged through every part of his body.
Crimson radiance boiled around him.
His jet-black bones crackled as they emitted the Eternal Twilight Light.
Bathed simultaneously in both lights, his body returned to its peak state within a single breath.
The two clashed once again.
Another earth-shattering explosion erupted.
The entire Underworld trembled violently as heaven collapsed and the earth split apart.
Meanwhile, the million-strong army of the Evil Abyss had already retreated several times.
Everyone stared at the battle in utter disbelief.
Many had begun questioning whether they were truly living in a world of magic.
Lu Mei and Ding Yumian were relatively calm.
Having spent every day with him, they knew better than anyone just how terrifying their partner's beast-like physique truly was.
Zhan Kong and the others, however, who rarely witnessed Lu Jun in battle, were utterly shaken.
Their understanding of the world had been shattered and rebuilt all over again.
Little did they know, Lu Jun was thoroughly enjoying this battle.
The Emperors he had fought before all possessed enormous bodies.
Their regenerative abilities also fell far short of true immortality.
As a result, both sides usually fought from afar, bombarding one another with Forbidden Curse Magic that covered vast areas.
Close-quarters combat wasn't impossible, but despite having overwhelming physical strength, the massive size difference made it an unwise choice.
Only now against another humanoid Emperor who feared no death and possessed a body comparable in size to his own, could he finally experience such an exhilarating, evenly matched battle.
Strangely enough, before becoming the Underworld God, Khufu had once been nothing more than an ordinary human.
Likewise, before leaping into the Evil Abyss and donning the Ancient King's Armor, Lu Jun had been a conventional mage who relied solely on casting magic.
Ever since the two of them had stopped being "human" they seemed to have awakened to an entirely different fighting style.
Gradually, they had become increasingly unrestrained.
Suddenly, Khufu realized that this exchange of blows would never be enough to kill his opponent.
Without hesitation, he unleashed his trump card.
Boom!
Lu Jun severed Khufu's arm with a single slash and was about to press the advantage.
But when he looked up, he saw a magnificent golden ship materialize above the White-Robed Pharaoh King.
It charged toward him with unstoppable momentum, carrying overwhelming force capable of crushing everything before it.
The Underworld Divine Artifact.
The Solar Boat!
This was an ability Khufu had displayed in the original novel.
It could carry an army of millions of undead across the void into the Northern Plains, and had even allowed him to retreat calmly before the Ancient King.
Now, facing the terrifying impact of the Solar Boat as it crushed through space itself,
Lu Jun felt as though he were trying to stop a speeding chariot with his own arms.
"I have divine treasures as well!" he roared.
A crystal-clear triangular prism suddenly emerged above his head.
At the same time, two dusky-yellow pearls burst into brilliant light as they revolved around him.
The Triangular Dimensional Mirror!
The Three Pearls!
Crash!
Before the Solar Boat reached him, the endless Void behind Lu Jun suddenly echoed with layer upon layer of roaring tides.
A vast, silver-white, semi-transparent ocean materialized from nowhere.
It surged across the heavens like an endless sea.
Fusion Magic, Void Tsunami!
When the golden vessel collided with the transparent ocean, no one could tell whether the colossal waves overturned the divine ship or whether the giant vessel rode the waves and suppressed the entire sea.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
To the spectators, one deafening explosion drowned out everything else.
The horrifying destructive shockwave swallowed their vision.
Everyone lost their hearing instantly.
The Underworld itself shattered inch by inch as an unprecedented explosion erupted.
The aftermath of that supreme power poured into the outside world through countless spatial rifts.
Above Cairo, streams of aurora burst across the sky.
The blood-red sunset spread over the earth,
casually carving countless massive ravines into the landscape.
The five rulers of Egypt broke out in cold sweat.
Such terrifying power.
Even a nation's Forbidden Curse would likely be reduced to ashes.
Not far from where the battle's aftershocks swept past,
Apas, within the Temple of the Setting Sun, swallowed nervously.
She had never imagined she would witness something this shockingz two Underworld Emperors fighting to the death.
Back in the Underworld, after the raging sea of Underworld radiance finally subsided and the void gradually returned to calm, only the shattered remains of the two mighty Emperors floated through the air.
Khufu had only a small portion of his upper body remaining.
As for Lu Jun his body had been blown completely apart.
The Solar Boat had crushed him into a mass of flesh and blood.
Only his head remained intact, suspended silently in the void.
Cough... Cough...
Within Khufu's shattered remains, a pair of deep black eyes slowly opened.
He chuckled softly.
"It seems..."
"I've won by a slight margin."
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The next moment, he activated Egypt's Mummification Preservation Technique.
Endless Underworld radiance poured forth.
Crack! Crack!
Crisp sounds echoed continuously.
The Emperor's body rapidly reconstructed itself.
Moments later he had fully resurrected,
returning to perfect condition at full strength.
The White-Robed Pharaoh stood proudly upon the ruined wasteland of the Underworld, staff in hand, looking down upon everything with unrivaled arrogance.
The Mummification Preservation Technique was Khufu's greatest masterpiece.
Not only could it resurrect the dead, it also preserved the body's vitality exactly as it had been before death.
In the original timeline, even the Ancient King had coveted this technique and sought to seize it.
"Is that so?!"
Suddenly a cold voice echoed through the void.
Lu Jun's only remaining head slowly opened its tightly shut eyes.
As his gaze unfolded, strands of hazy primordial aura flowed from his pupils.
At that moment, they fully transformed into a pair of profound, lofty Double Pupils.
His right eye intertwined blood-black and dark gray hues, emanating an endless aura of deathly stillness.
His left eye blossomed with holy azure and pure white radiance, overflowing with boundless vitality.
At that instant, the left eye of Lu Jun's Samsara Double Pupils revealed its true might.
Brilliant divine light erupted from his eye as countless strands of holy azure and pure white liquid condensed and flowed outward.
A stream of sacred azure-white radiance poured forth like flowing water, instantly enveloping his entire body.
An incomparably powerful life force erupted.
It was as though the world had returned to the dawn of creation, when all things flourished and life itself was first brought into existence.
In an instant, his internal organs began reforming.
His limbs and skeleton were restored.
His perfect body was completely reconstructed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Jun's aura became even more overwhelming.
Within his Spiritual World, a loud explosion rang out as his Metal Element Star Ocean shattered another bottleneck.
It expanded dramatically, evolving into an even more immense Star Ocean.
His Metal Element had unexpectedly broken through to the Third Level of Super Tier.
His third Element had now reached Full Cultivation.
Samsara Double Pupils, Nirvana Rebirth!
Lu Jun's strength ascended to an entirely new level. His spiritual realm directly advanced to the peak of the Ninth Realm.
His physical cultivation rose to the middle stage of the Eighth Realm of Vitality.
His entire body shone with flawless brilliance, radiating divine light.
Witnessing this scene, everyone below whose hearts had nearly leaped into their throats, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it was Underworld God Khufu's turn to be stunned.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.
Such a resurrection ability while still alive was far superior to that of any undead creature.
"Now..."
"The real battle begins."
Lu Jun said calmly.
Activating the Beast King Mark, the sound of surging tides echoed behind him.
The graceful phantom of an Ocean Goddess emerged, standing atop an endless sea.
Next, the mysterious phantom of the Dream Beast that ruled over the vast Yellow Springs appeared.
Finally, a sacred and noble lotus blossomed.
Within it stood the Flower Fairy, dressed in a holy azure palace gown.
At the same time, without needing any instruction, Ding Yumian's Primary Soul Personality emerged from her body.
It rose into the sky of its own accord before merging directly into Lu Jun.
His aura continued rising without end.
His spiritual realm once again leaped upward from the Eleventh Realm to the Thirteenth Realm.
