Chapter 645: Rooftop-Level Power, The Army Arrives at the Holy City

At this moment, Lu Jun had truly ascended to godhood. He resembled a supreme divine being, surrounded by four Divine Thrones as his aura rose without end, directly stepping into the realm of a Rooftop Emperor.

Within the boundless void of the heavens, the Thrones of Life, Death, the Vast Sea, and Chaos surged with overwhelming power. Chaotic tides swept across the surrounding space as one world after another was created. Vast and majestic, they resembled four Mount Sumerus standing tall. The infinitesimal was contained within the void, while entire universes were encompassed within the Divine Godheads.

The world governed by the Life throne overflowed with vitality. It was breathtakingly beautiful, filled with endless mountains and rivers where countless living beings thrived.

The world beneath the Death Throne was silent and ominous. Endless Underworld radiance illuminated the land while countless tombstones and undead slumbered within. The world surrounding the Sea Divine Eye was an endless expanse of azure, where ninety-nine immeasurable oceans overlapped one another without limit. Meanwhile, the world of the Tide Divine Eye was filled with transparent, disorderly gravitational forces raging in complete chaos.

With every movement Lu Jun made, he appeared like a supreme deity surrounded by four great worlds. He was both righteous and demonic, his divine radiance covering the heavens and blotting out the sun, enveloping the skies of all Nine Provinces. Every person could witness the awe-inspiring spectacle.

He silently experienced his current form. It was unimaginably powerful. With nothing more than a thought, it seemed he could blast a gigantic hole through the world itself. Even the Magic Plane could no longer restrain him.

If Mo Fan's path toward becoming the Evil Holy King required condensing the Eight Soul Mountains, constructing the Eight Divine Temples of Righteousness and Evil, and enshrining the Eight Soul Godheads.

Then the path Lu Jun was walking required the Nine Elements and Nine Divine Thrones. Every single Throne would require an entire world to worship it. Within each world, nine divine temples would be built to gather the faith of all living beings corresponding to each authority, achieving the supreme status of Nine upon Nine.

At present, Lu Jun had only traveled slightly more than halfway down that path, having condensed four and a half Divine Thrones. Even so, the fusion of the origins of four Ruler Emperor-level beings had directly elevated his combat strength to the Rooftop Emperor level.

Moreover, as time passed and he continued refining them, the four corresponding magic elements would continue expanding without limit until that combat strength completely transformed into genuine cultivation.

Michael and Sariel had already fallen into despair. Upon witnessing this, their eyes widened in disbelief as they murmured,

"How is this possible? How could a human reach such a level?!"

"Heh..."

Lu Jun could not even be bothered to explain. His physical body and spiritual power had already reached the Emperor level. Coupled with his Divine Form and Fusion Magic, he had long surpassed the limits of humanity. Only then could he bear the burden of the four Divine Thrones.

While his two Divine Thrones had gone to rescue the others earlier, he had used the opportunity to refine both the Sea Divine Eye and the Tidal Divine Eye. The latter should actually have been called the Chaos Divine Eye. As expected, Cold Moon Eye had possessed an incompatible attribute, forcing it to refine the Divine Eye by force and alter its properties.

It was just like how the Sea King Skeleton had refined the Totem Divine Bone of the Chongming Bird.

Now that Lu Jun had successfully refined it, he had also awakened his ninth Element, Chaos Element. Only then did the Tidal Divine Eye reveal its true nature. In just over ten minutes, his Water Element had advanced from Third-Level Super Tier directly to Half Forbidden Curse, while its Transcendent Power evolved into a Divine Endowment.

The newly awakened Chaos Element was just like his Life and Death Elements, blessed by heaven itself. Upon reaching Forbidden Curse, it naturally awakened an innate effect. Its ability was no weaker than a Calamity Talent and advanced at an astonishing speed, already reaching the High-Level Star River, on the verge of breaking through into the Super Tier Star Ocean.

Lu Jun had no intention of slowly digesting the enormous power any longer. His rage was impossible to suppress. He swore to repay blood with blood. Grabbing the two Archangels, he rode upon the boundless tides of the Pacific Ocean, which lifted him as he flew westward with overwhelming momentum.

He intended not only to become the righteous god who would save humanity but also the evil god who would bring ruin upon the Western world. Only then could he complete the remaining half of his Mind Throne.

At this moment, both Michael and Sariel were filled with endless regret. Had they known this would happen, they would never have acted. Perhaps then, the Holy City might still have survived.

But it was already too late.

Not long afterward, Lu Jun descended upon the Western Continent with an invincible posture.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Along the coastal nations of the Western Continent, countless people relaxing on beaches and tourist resorts looked toward the distant sea in astonishment.

"What is that?!"

A pale white line suddenly emerged from the horizon. In the blink of an eye, it rushed toward them. It was an apocalyptic tsunami stretching across the Nine Heavens.

Boundless pale waves surged layer upon layer from the depths of the ocean, carrying enough power to shake heaven and earth and overturn both sea and land.

The instant it drew near, it rose into a colossal white curtain that blotted out the sky and the sun. There was not the slightest gap visible within it. The tidal wall reached straight into the clouds, and the overwhelming visual impact and terror it inspired far surpassed anything ordinary people could possibly imagine.

The Holy City atop the Alps shook violently. Endless holy radiance shot into the heavens as news of the upheaval in the Nine Provinces spread across the world. The five remaining Archangels had all gathered together, disregarding the ancient rule that forbade them from assembling while patrolling the mortal world.

Sixteen Wing Archangel Uriel, Fourteen Wing Archangel Raphael, Fourteen Wing Archangel Ramiel, along with the two hidden Archangels, Gabriel Saga and Raguel, whose cultivation was comparatively lower, all gazed solemnly toward the distant ocean.

What they saw was an endless sea descending from the heavens. In an instant, it covered the sky, plunging the entire Western Continent into darkness. A boundless Heavenly Sea hung suspended overhead like a gigantic demonic claw forged from the ocean itself, pressing down upon the world.

Lu Jun stood atop the towering waves high above the Ninth Heaven, overlooking all living beings, his killing intent shaking the heavens.

The nations across the Western Continent erupted into chaos. Upon learning what had happened, their Forbidden Curse Mages furiously cursed the Holy City, sending accusations and condemnation one after another, terrified that their own countries would be dragged into the conflict and reduced to lifeless wastelands.

Back in the Nine Provinces, Hong Wu and the other Forbidden Curse Association Mages finally understood what was happening after witnessing Lu Jun reveal his divine form. They immediately sensed that disaster was imminent. None of them dared stop him. Instead, they followed behind him all the way, prepared to back him up. One careless move could ignite a war encompassing the entire Magic World.

At this moment, behind Lu Jun stretched the black and white Heavenly Sea, summoned through the power of his Four Divine Thrones. Once it descended, it would bring about utter devastation and wipe the Western Continent from existence.

At the summit of the Holy City, Archangel Uriel rose helplessly into the air and spoke to Lu Jun with solemn dignity.

"This time, the Holy City was in the wrong. We are willing to offer generous reparations as an apology. However, Michael and Sariel acted entirely on their own. We only hope this matter will not implicate innocent people."

"Heh... heh..."

Lu Jun nearly laughed out of sheer fury.

In the original timeline, when Mo Fan had been imprisoned inside the Holy City and subjected to endless torture, these Archangels had ignored everything. On the contrary, they had openly supported it.

Only after Michael completely failed did they realize they had provoked an enemy they could not handle. Then they rushed out to beg for mercy. When that failed, they immediately distanced themselves, claiming that executing Michael alone would settle everything.

Mo Fan had endured it only because his strength had been insufficient and he lacked the influence to take control of the Magic World.

But Lu Jun had already stepped into Rooftop Emperor level combat power. Forget the Seven Archangels, even if the entire Western Continent united against him, they would still be no match.

"Die!"

Lu Jun's expression turned merciless. With a single thought, the Heavenly Sea crashed down.

An unprecedented flood instantly engulfed the Holy City, swallowing the five Archangels within its depths. A colossal oceanic abyss vortex formed around them, repeatedly crushing and tearing them apart beneath the endless currents.

A long time later, Uriel and the other five Archangels were left barely clinging to life. An invisible force lifted them into the air, suspending them above the flooded heart of the Holy City alongside Michael and Sariel, all seven hanging high for the world to witness.

The surging waters rolled across the heavens. Yet the currents possessed a mysterious intelligence. Whenever they encountered the millions of innocent civilians, they quietly flowed around them instead of causing harm.

Even so, the entire city remained submerged beneath the vast ocean.

The civilians witnessed the horrifying spectacle before them and felt death looming over them at every moment. The invincible Archangels, whom they had worshipped all their lives, could no longer protect even themselves. Their faith shattered completely as countless people collapsed into tears, crying and begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Lu Jun's twin pupils shone brilliantly. An eerie Mental Light descended from his eyes, and his bewitching voice echoed across the Holy City.

"Do you want to live?"

"If you wish to survive, then bring me every one of their relatives."

"If you wish to survive, then devour the Archangels."

"Eat their flesh!"

Lu Jun let out a thunderous roar.

"Those who eat shall live!"

He would not slaughter innocent people indiscriminately.

But he would utterly destroy their spirits.

Not only would he break the hearts of the Archangels, he would also shatter the very backbone of faith upon which the Western Continent stood.

If they wished to live, then they would have to present their proof of loyalty.

Under the crushing pressure, the once-devout believers of the Holy City completely broke down. Bewitched by the power of the Psychic Element, they trembled as they slowly began walking toward the seven Archangels suspended above the center of the city.
