Lu Jun was also quite shocked.
He hadn't expected that with various special effects stacking, the fourth-level Violent Wave could unleash such overwhelming power.
Moreover, this wasn't even its peak strength. Once the Tide talent fully activated, with the second, third, and eventually over a dozen waves stacking up, wouldn't it reach high-tier pinnacle-level destruction?
At this moment, at the end of the Celestial River, massive torrents of water dispersed, revealing a deep crater.
A colossal, drenched figure struggled to stand. The terrifying impact of the flood had fractured several of its tough bones, with large patches of its skin eroded and rotting away, exposing tender flesh underneath.
Its body also appeared somewhat weak and drained, as if part of its demonic energy had been extracted.
However, Nie Wei remained calm. Even high-tier magic bombardment wouldn't fundamentally damage a Commander-level physique.
Not to mention, Wind, Water, and Psychic Elements were three high-tier magic branches not specialized in direct slaughter, making it incredibly difficult to kill a Blood Clan Commander.
Just like now, the Blood Clan's unique vast vitality was unleashed its flesh wriggled, and with a series of cracking bone sounds, it swiftly regenerated.
In just a few breaths, Nie Wei's hunched body straightened, his broken bones rapidly reconnecting. His decayed skin quickly healed, almost fully recovering in an instant!
Lu Jun didn't remain idle. He gathered magical energy and pressed the attack.
Rumble!
Countless strands of dark blue radiance converged in the sky, and endless streams of water surged forth. A far more magnificent Celestial River swept down, pushing across the previous ravine.
If the first wave was merely the baseline power of a standard high-tier first-level spell, then with the 20% amplification from the Tide talent, the second wave was already approaching the might of a Soul-Seed high-tier first-level spell.
The power of high-tier magic varied greatly. To reach high-tier third-level + Soul-Seed level, more than a dozen waves needed to be accumulated.
But Lu Jun didn't mind. With his doubled Water Element Star Sea magic energy, he could launch not just over ten waves, but even thirty or more without pressure.
In the distance, Nie Wei's figure flickered dimly as he attempted to swiftly escape via Shadow Escape.
However, Ding Yumian's transparent pupils gleamed as her Mind Control spell struck with precision, while Lu Mei elegantly raised her jade-like hand. Silky strands of pure white air currents silently merged into the surging blue tide.
Boom!
Nie Wei was forcibly immobilized in place, watching helplessly as the tide crashed over him.
He was swept up by the waves and pushed far away. The continuous roaring and ground-shaking impacts resounded.
As the water receded, he stood up and roared, his body covered in fresh wounds. This time, aside from fractured bones and various injuries, over a dozen gruesome bloody holes pierced through him, with blood trickling ceaselessly these were inflicted by the Qi imbued within the Violent Wave.
The Nie Clan's patriarch suddenly realized something terrifying. Panic welled in his heart.
If he kept passively taking hits like this, he would eventually be worn down and completely drained of energy, leaving him at their mercy.
Splash!
He wanted to fight back, but at the next moment, yet another immense Celestial River came crashing down like a massive blue dragon, fiercely ramming into him.
A sense of powerlessness surged through his heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lu Jun stood on the other side of the abandoned campus, water cascading from above like a vast curtain. A Water Repelling Pearl hovered around him, radiating blue brilliance. His entire being exuded surging Tide magic, its dark blue glow illuminating half the sky as one Heavenly River after another continuously descended.
Towering waves rose, layer upon layer crashing down, giving the Nie Clan patriarch no breathing room.
The tremors from the abandoned campus spread outward.
In the surrounding residential and industrial districts, people were horrified to see a thirty-meter-high tsunami in mid-air.
What kind of monstrous flood demon was raging inside the city, even altering the local weather?
Countless droplets from the splashing water turned into a fine drizzle in the sky.
Many panicked citizens called the authorities.
When the Demon Hunting Alliance arrived, they seemed to have already received word and did not rashly intervene. Instead, they set up a perimeter and evacuated the residents.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Lu Jun only felt the Star Sea of his spiritual world dimming. The Water Repelling Pearl above his head retracted its radiance.
He had already expended nearly half of his magical energy.
By the time he unleashed his twentieth Raging Wave, its amplification had reached 400%, its power already at the level of a Great Soul-Seed high-tier spell, creating a fifty-meter tsunami—enough to seriously injure a minor Commander-level demon.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Lu Mei, ever bold due to her formidable abilities, spread her pure white Wind Wings and descended toward the end of the river, observing from above.
The ten-meter-tall bat-winged monster had turned into a pile of mangled flesh, floating in the 'man-made lake.'
Its numerous hideous wounds lay exposed, and its congealed blood had lost its luster—after the prolonged barrage, even its True Blood had lost vitality.
It no longer possessed that terrifying regenerative power.
Its head slowly turned.
With a sinister expression full of unwillingness, it let out a low, hoarse growl:
"You cannot kill me. As long as the Blood Clan's Source Blood remains, even if I am torn to pieces, as long as I absorb enough fresh blood… I will awaken from slumber once again!"
Woo—woo!
Lu Jun soared through the sky on his flying sword, locking eyes with the monstrous vampire. Upon hearing these words, he let out a cold sneer.
He had no interest in wasting words with it. With a flick of his wrist, a streak of dark light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds.
The Black-Gold Dragon-Patterned Sword ascended to its peak, transforming into a magnificent twelve-meter-high Heavenly Sword before plummeting down. As it slashed through the void, wisps of gray-white Catastrophe Qi emerged from the blade, leaving deep spatial fissures in its wake.
Metal Element—Mid-tier Spell: [Weapon Control · Magnetic Attraction]!
It resembled a gray Venus suspended in the air or a meteor streaking across the sky, its piercing whistle reverberating above.
Seeing this, Nie Wei suddenly recalled this peculiar magic artifact that had triggered his sense of danger. A flash of panic crossed his crimson pupils.
Boom!
The black speck in the sky rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it crashed down, striking the massive body of the Blood Clan elder. A deafening roar tore through the heavens, shaking the ground as countless boulders erupted and thick dust billowed into the air.
The ground in this area fractured and shifted. The three people hovering nearby were forced a few feet off the ground before staggering back down.
Ding Yumian and Lu Mei instinctively crossed their arms in front of their chests, narrowing their eyes to shield themselves from the overwhelming shockwave.
As the dust settled, they all looked toward the deep crater where an enormous three-story-high sword stood upright.
It had pierced straight through Nie Wei's spine and out through his chest. A massive blood-soaked hole had been blown open, exposing stark white bones and shattered internal organs. Flesh and blood were splattered everywhere, while faint wisps of gray-white Catastrophe Qi spread from the edges of the wound, draining the last traces of life.
Commander-level demon slain!
Lu Jun took a deep breath. With Ding Yumian suppressing it and his sister providing support, the battle had gone smoothly.
If it had been a direct confrontation, the Blood Clan's Shadow Morph, blood-draining regeneration, and psychic invasion abilities would have been a nightmare to deal with.
But this was the strength of humanity—cooperation, strategy, and the use of terrain and tools. There was nothing more to say.
Buzz—buzz—buzz!
Something strange began to happen to Nie Wei's lifeless corpse. The entire hideous body seemed to melt, its blackened, withered flesh peeling away to reveal a crimson liquid, translucent and shimmering with radiant light.
The massive corpse gradually transformed into countless streams of blood, all converging into a blood-red orb the size of a full moon.
Suspended in mid-air, it radiated an overwhelming vitality intertwined with an ominous curse, merging perfectly into a sinister blood moon with an eerie sentience.
Lu Jun's eyes lit up with joy.
"This is... the Blood Source of a Commander-level vampire."
This supernatural material was naturally imbued with a curse. If an ordinary person came into contact with it and survived the ordeal, they would be transformed into a vampire.
A perfect absorption of its energy would allow one to ascend into a Commander-level Blood Clan Elder and establish a new lineage of their own.
