Chapter 490. An Unparalleled Battle, Heaven and Earth Shatter
In that instant, a powerful force surged out with Lu Yuan at its center. Rays of light stirred as an unmatched aura slowly spread.
Almost everyone sensed it immediately. It was an oppressive feeling that had reached an extreme, so much so that most people could not endure. Even those in the Immortal Realm felt their hair stand on end and their faces turn pale, because that power was too majestic.
It was like facing a supreme powerhouse. No matter how hard they tried, it would be impossible to break through that aura.
The Creation Immortals of the two forces had been calm at first, their hearts filled with killing intent.
However, at the release of the aura, they immediately froze, then looked toward the distance with astonishment in their eyes.
Lu Yuan had not targeted the members of the Celestial Court while releasing his aura.
Zhu Qingyu and the others did not feel any pressure but they could sense that invincible bearing. Before their eyes, although Lu Yuan stood in place, he seemed to have transformed into an invincible expert.
His body was surrounded by rays of light, like a true immortal who had ascended.
This was their King Lu, the Lord of the Celestial Court.
Zhu Qingyu and Ice Fairy suddenly felt at ease.
It was not because of that power. It was simply because of Lu Yuan's presence. That alone was enough to support the weight of heaven and earth, as if he could curb every crisis before it fully arose.
They relaxed, and at the same time, they knew they should not cause trouble. They chose to move even farther away, allowing Lu Yuan to focus fully on the upcoming battle.
Lu Yuan also no longer concealed his aura. He fully displayed the power of a Creation Immortal.
Powerful force surged, and waves of immortal light circled around him. Merely standing there, he was impossible to ignore.
This was the bearing of a true expert.
Opposite him, everyone from the two forces, including the two Creation Immortals, was shocked. They stared blankly at the scene before them. Disbelief filled their hearts.
"How is this possible? He has entered the Creation Immortal Realm?"
"This... Didn't they say Lu Yuan had only reached the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm not long ago?"
"That's right. Last time we saw him, he was still a Grotto-Heaven Immortal. It hasn't been that long."
The sight baffled the people of the two forces, especially those Grotto-Heaven Immortals.
They had entered this realm hundreds, even thousands of years ago, yet they still showed naught the slightest sign of advancing further even at this point.
At the Immortal Realm, disregarding breaking through to the next realm, even every small improvement was extremely difficult.
Even within the same realm, the difference could be enormous.
A newly advanced Grotto-Heaven Immortal and one who had already reached the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm displayed completely different combat strength.
They knew when Lu Yuan had entered the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm.
Had a year passed since then?
Nope.
It had only been a few months.
Yet Lu Yuan had now reached the Creation Immortal Realm.
What did that mean?
Even if he had obtained the Great Age's Providence, it should not be this terrifying. The more the people of the two forces thought about it, the more terrified they became.
Originally, they had been filled with confidence in this plan. However, their faces had turned pale now, and all of them had the urge to retreat.
Everyone knew that if they faced Lu Yuan, there would likely be only one result.
Destruction.
"All of you, wake up! Do not be frightened by his aura," the Eternals' Creation Immortal shouted.
A powerful aura surged from his body, shaking mountains and rivers across ten thousand miles.
And this was with the surrounding space sealed. Otherwise, with his might, everyone on Earth would have felt the power he displayed.
That was the might of a true expert.
He looked at everyone present and added, "He has merely just entered the Creation Immortal Realm. There is a huge gap between him and existences like us. Once we act, we will still achieve what we want."
His point was clear. Lu Yuan had only just entered the Creation Immortal Realm. Even if his strength was greater than before, so what?
There were now two Creation Immortals here.
"That's right," the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal chimed in with a serious tone. "He only broke through recently. This is also our opportunity. Do not hesitate. Just act."
Both of them shared the same view. Lu Yuan had merely just entered the Creation Immortal Realm, while they had cultivated in this realm for who knew how many years.
Whether in experience or in other aspects, they believed they could overwhelm him.
However, if one listened carefully, they would discover that the two of them did not seem completely confident either.
It was not that they feared Lu Yuan, but rather that his cultivation speed was too fast. It was terrifying beyond anything they had ever seen. If they truly fought next, would they gain the upper hand?
They had no idea, but neither did they have any path of retreat.
After their voices fell, the Creation Immortals of the Ji Clan and the Eternals wasted no more words and stepped forward.
Powerful auras swept out from their bodies, and the two transformed into streaks of light.
A terrifying force shook this entire stretch of mountains and rivers in a radius of ten thousand miles.
The Grotto-Heaven Immortals and Undying Immortals of the two races also knew there was no path of retreat. There was only battle.
"Since that is the case, I will let you recognize reality," Lu Yuan remarked.
In an instant, facing the two Creation Immortals rushing toward him, he threw out a punch.
At his realm, unless it was a special situation, he rarely used divine abilities anymore. A simple, unadorned punch was enough to display his true might.
Boom!
With a single punch, heaven and earth shook.
In the void, bolts of thunder emerged in succession. The punch seemed to carry the might of the entire world.
Opposite him, the two Creation Immortals looked solemn and each brought out their strongest techniques.
At this point, would they still hide anything?
Naturally not.
They no longer treated Lu Yuan as an insignificant figure, but as a great enemy who could not be ignored. Since they had acted, they would use their full strength.
In the next moment, blazing light erupted from their bodies, as though they had transformed into two great suns. Behind them, the other Immortals also attacked in succession.
Two Creation Immortals.
Seven Grotto-Heaven Immortals.
And more than ten Undying Immortals.
This team could subdue a starfield without issue.
However, when the techniques they unleashed collided with Lu Yuan's punch, the earth below split apart to reveal enormous ravines.
Countless streams of magma surged out, and the earth shook violently. All living creatures within the region died in an instant.
Fortunately, this was the Hengduan Mountains. There were not many living creatures here, and no ordinary humans. [1]
In the sky, the void was smashed open, revealing crack after crack. Countless thunderbolts roared.
In the truest sense, heaven collapsed and earth split.
1. I assume Author meant all living creatures that had not embarked on the path of cultivation. ☜
