Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The Celestial Grotto-Heaven Immortal's methods were extremely powerful. Each time he attacked, endless black lightning shook the void.

He had been contaminated by the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, so the black lightning possessed extreme destructive power.

Every time it appeared, it tore apart the void around the planet. Even an existence in the same realm would likely suffer tremendous pressure against it and would have to defend with everything they had.

The problem was that the lightning numbered in the thousands upon thousands and seemed endless. Therefore, even someone in the same realm would quickly fall into a disadvantage after exhausting all their focus, then be defeated outright.

This was the strength the Celestial displayed after being enhanced by the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Unless one possessed methods to counter it, even figures like Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong might eventually be defeated if the fight dragged on.

The reason was simple. The power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons not only completely restrained the cultivators of this world, but also constantly consumed the strength in their opponents.

Over time, they naturally would not be able to hold on.

This was why, after seeing everyone, he had not been afraid and had instead chosen to attack.

However, the Celestial's opponent was Lu Yuan, who had already reached the Creation Immortal Realm.

Lu Yuan was an entire realm higher than him. More importantly, he possessed the power of Providence supported by the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token and the Investiture Edict, as well as terrifying reserves no one could match.

So this is the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons? As Lu Yuan fought him, he slowly sensed the indescribable aura surging around them.

He discovered that the divine power within him was also affected. However, he was supported by the power of Providence, so that strange aura could not affect him at all.

After exchanging blows with the Celestial, Lu Yuan felt that the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons was fundamentally different from what cultivators of this world displayed.

It constantly eroded the mind and soul, tempting one to sink into it.

He had fought Celestials before, so he knew that this race was born with control over wind and thunder and was very powerful.

However, the one before him had changed in many ways after accepting that power.

Although the Celestial was much stronger than before, he had abandoned his own innate talent. From this, one could see how greatly that power had elevated him.

Of course, since this was not a battle against an actual Extracosmic Heavenly Demon, Lu Yuan felt there were still many things he did not understand.

The reason Lu Yuan had not defeated and killed his opponent outright was that he wanted to learn a little more. Now that he had temporarily achieved his purpose, he did not plan to hold back.

Rumble.

At that moment, an enormous black bolt of lightning appeared in the void. This lightning was indeed terrifying, seemingly enveloping the entire planet.

The Celestial stood beneath it, and his wind-and-thunder wings had also turned a dense black, giving him a strange appearance.

"My lord still has matters to attend to, so I will not waste time with you." His voice boomed like thunder. Then, his entire form fused with the enormous lightning.

In an instant, a destructive aura surged out.

The entire world lost its color.

Black lightning.

Shattered void.

Broken earth.

Scorching magma.

These scenes intertwined, forming a hellish landscape.

Now, the Celestial expert had already unleashed his strongest power.

Lu Yuan seemed completely unconcerned and withdrew all the aura around him.

"Ever since I discovered the Celestial Emperor Pure Land, I have never used it. Now, this is my opportunity," he muttered to himself, then mobilized the power of Providence and the strands of purple qi within the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

The two different powers combined and enveloped his body.

In the next instant, purple qi shone brilliantly around Lu Yuan.

He stood above the void, as if isolated from this world. Where the two powers intersected, they formed a pure land around him, and even time seemed to have stopped within it.

Then that black lightning struck down.

Rumble.

Heaven and Earth roared.

The planet was instantly riddled with holes.

The power was so terrifying that even a star could not withstand it.

Yet even under such circumstances, the place where Lu Yuan stood remained unchanged.

He merely stood there, seemingly untouched by danger. No matter what crisis or power descended, none of it could affect him. It was as if he had transformed the place around him into a pure land.

Soon, all the power disappeared, and the Celestial revealed his figure.

However, he stared at the scene before him in dazed astonishment.

The planet was on the verge of shattering, but not far away, even the hem of Lu Yuan's clothes had not stirred.

"This... how..."

His eyes were filled with confusion at the sight. He could not understand why this had happened.

Lu Yuan had no interest in explaining. He merely took a slow step forward and threw a punch at the Celestial.

Bang!

As the sound rang out, countless stars in the surrounding cosmos seemed to dim slightly.

The entire planet exploded outright, shattered by a single punch. Cracks spread across the Celestial's body. Blood covered him, and then he burst apart.

In the end, only half of his body remained.

Yes. It had been only one punch.

With one punch, Lu Yuan had shattered his physical body.

More importantly, Lu Yuan had intentionally held back. Otherwise, if Lu Yuan had been serious, he could have killed the Celestial with that single punch.

Though, it was not because his opponent was too weak; Lu Yuan was just too strong.

Within the same realm, there was almost no one who could fight him. Even against existences like Celestial Seat Immortals, Lu Yuan had nothing to fear.

In the eyes of others, this should have been impossible.

But he could do it. That was also why Jiang Ningxian and the others could leave without concern. They all had absolute confidence in him.

After Lu Yuan was done, he beckoned slightly and trapped the Celestial, who had only half his body left and was already completely crippled. His gaze did not change as he said calmly, "You should know what I want to ask."

He could sense that this place had originally contained an extremely dense aura of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Only now, he had not seen the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon itself.

Clearly, it had already left.

Therefore, Lu Yuan wanted to know where that Extracosmic Heavenly Demon had gone, and what its purpose was.

Jiang Ningxian and the others came over as well, looking at the planet that had already been completely destroyed.

In the end, their sharp gazes fell upon the Celestial. They wanted an answer as well. They had originally thought the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were only on the Celestial Star, but it seemed that was not the case anymore.
