Chapter 452. Erasing Five Powerhouses, a Supreme Bearing
The emergence of battle intent seemed to augment Lu Yuan. Golden vital qi surged endlessly from his body, covering the entire firmament and wrapping around the surrounding area for ten thousand miles.
More importantly, with closer observation, one would discover that within the golden sea of vital qi, large stars seemed to appear one after another, as though the universe itself were reflected within it.
The extremely terrifying sight left everyone shocked.
Be it the experts from the Outer Cosmos or the members of the Celestial Court, all of them were stunned. They truly had not expected Lu Yuan's strength to reach such a level.
Even though the battle intent was not aimed at them, they still felt an overwhelming pressure, so heavy that they could not even muster the thought of resisting. He was strong enough that they could only watch, strong enough that they knew if they opposed him, there would basically be no chance of victory.
At the center of the battlefield, the dozen of Grotto-Heaven Immortals led by the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor also felt tremendous pressure. Several among them were even being forced back.
Lu Yuan's attacks did not seem to be causing much destruction at the moment, but they knew it was only because the man was deliberately controlling it. Otherwise, the consequences would be too terrifying.
Rumble!
Very soon, as Lu Yuan attacked once more, powerful force surged out. The dozen Grotto-Heaven Immortals could not withstand it, and several of them even turned pale.
Yet as the battle progressed, the stronger Lu Yuan grew. He had only recently entered this realm, but he had already displayed terrifying power.
"Is he really opposing all the Grotto-Heaven Immortals present with his own strength?"
Looking at the battle in the distance, astonishment surfaced on Jiang Ningxian's visage. She found it difficult to believe.
In every realm, Lu Yuan was indeed invincible within the same realm. But the key was that they had now all entered the Immortal Realm, and at this level, even the slightest difference could mean an enormous gap in battle prowess.
Yet every single time, Lu Yuan could still achieve such a feat; the fact was terrifying in itself. Even the words "peerless genius" could be adequate to describe him.
Beside her, after a brief daze, Jiang Haokong immediately smiled. "Sister, you don't understand. What others can't do, Lu Yuan definitely can. And he'll do it with more absurdity. I'm already used to it.
"Believe it or not, before long, those Grotto-Heaven Immortals will soon be completely suppressed by him."
It was no wonder Jiang Haokong took this stance now. Ever since he descended, Lu Yuan had left him dumbstruck again and again.
From being evenly matched at the beginning to now, Lu Yuan had already surpassed him by a large step and reached Grotto-Heaven Immortal. In terms of battle prowess, he far exceeded others of the same realm.
Jiang Haokong no longer knew what to say about this. He had completely accepted Lu Yuan's strength. If this continued, he would not find it strange if Lu Yuan walked the true path of invincibility.
There was no way around it. He had suffered too many and too great blows by Lu Yuan's feats.
Standing nearby, Jiang Huanyun originally wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained quiet. The strength Lu Yuan displayed had indeed completely surpassed his expectations.
He believed that even if he joined the battle, the result would not change much.
Thinking back to the beginning of the Global Awakening, countless Outer Cosmos beings had treated the Milky Way Starfield as a blessed land, a place to conquer. Who could have known that such a terrifying existence would emerge here?
Just as they had expected, the battle continued. As time passed, Lu Yuan gained the upper hand.
He was only one person, yet he suppressed everyone. With every punch he threw, someone spat out a mouthful of blood.
His battle prowess was too astonishing. It left everyone unable to resist. Even now, these Grotto-Heaven Immortals had used their full strength, but the outcome seemed to be plain as day.
They were being suppressed. Some were injured.
"Impossible. I don't believe it. How can you be this powerful?" the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor spoke, finding it unbelievable and difficult to imagine.
When he had first come to Earth, Lu Yuan had clearly only just entered the Immortal Realm. At that time, if he had acted, he could have erased Lu Yuan.
Yet now, Lu Yuan had grown to such a degree.
Regret started to wash over him. Why had he not acted before? Now, killing Lu Yuan might no longer be possible.
The Ji Clan's Third Ancestor saw that the people around him were beginning to be suppressed and wounded one after another, their auras far weaker than at the start. This meant that defeat was only a matter of time.
He had thought of changing the situation and using his most powerful method, but unfortunately, he could not do it. Lu Yuan was too strong. He seemed to have surpassed the limits of what Grotto-Heaven Immortals could understand.
Immediately afterward, as another punch was thrown, a powerful aura surged out. Two Grotto-Heaven Immortals of the Eternals were instantly struck by the heavy blow and retreated.
Unable to withstand the attack, they spat blood. Their injuries were extremely severe.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan chose not to hold back. He pursued his advantage.
He threw out another punch.
Rumble!
A tremendous roar surged out. Those two Grotto-Heaven Immortals could finally no longer endure it, and their bodies cracked apart.
However, they were still Immortal Realm existences. Even if their physical bodies collapsed, they would not die immediately. They could even recover in a short time and repair their injured bodies. On top of that, their battle prowess would not change much.
This was what it meant to be an immortal, an existence that could not be understood by common sense.
At any other time, the two Grotto-Heaven Immortals naturally would have been fine. But the one they now faced was Lu Yuan.
He would not give them any chance. Golden vital qi surged, and immense power poured out from within his body.
With one punch, it seemed as though heaven and earth would collapse. The two Grotto-Heaven Immortals of the Eternals could not resist.
In just an instant, their bodies, along with their souls, were completely shattered.
Out of the dozen Grotto-Heaven Immortals, two were gone in an instant.
This...
Everyone was stunned.
Some were horrified.
They wanted to stop Lu Yuan from obtaining the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, but all of this had to be under the premise that it would not pose a threat to their own lives.
Without doubt, several people withdrew some of their power. They backed away, drawing apart the distance as though they no longer wished to participate in the battle.
Lu Yuan immediately sensed this, then focused all his strength on dealing with the Grotto-Heaven Immortals of the Ji Clan. Without the others fighting alongside them, the pressure on the Ji Clan's Grotto-Heaven Immortals instantly multiplied.
"You..."
The Ji Clan's Third Ancestor wanted to say something. But as Lu Yuan acted, he sensed an extremely powerful aura and had no time to dodge.
In an instant, half his body was blown apart, and terrifying power swept through him. If not for his own strength, that strike might truly have killed him.
The Ji Clan experts beside him froze one after another, unable to understand how a siege by so many people had resulted in such an outcome.
Of course, Lu Yuan would not give them much time to think. Golden vital qi shook around him. He looked toward the Ji Clan members with a cold expression and said, "Next, it is your turn!"
