Chapter 453. Intimidating Everyone Present, Creation Immortal
Lu Yuan's voice was not loud, nor was there the slightest emotion in his eyes.
But those words sounded completely different to the ears of the Ji Clan members. The unmistakable killing intent was laced within those words.
Immediately, the expressions of the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor and the others changed drastically, and they all retreated.
Two Grotto-Heaven Immortals of the Eternals had been killed. They understood very clearly that Lu Yuan was not joking around. With those words spoken, he really intended to wipe them out.
After a brief moment of shock, the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor immediately said, "I'd like to see if you dare."
He knew very well that Lu Yuan possessed the strength. However, he himself had experienced many battles and was a veteran. Despite the traces of panic stirring within him, he remained calm on the surface.
Looking directly at Lu Yuan, he said, "The Creation Immortal of my clan is already on his way. I admit that you are very strong, and can be considered invincible within the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
"But there is always a higher mountain. Your actions have placed you in complete opposition to my Ji Clan."
"You... Talk too much."
Lu Yuan shook his head, showing no intention of listening to nonsense. He had heard words like these too many times. Almost every time he was about to kill someone, the same sort of scene played out. The Ji Clan, in particular, had spoken this way more than once.
He really no longer had the patience to wait for the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor to finish speaking.
Thus, power surged from within him. Golden vital qi rose around him, and a powerful aura shook outward.
Before anyone could react, he acted without the slightest hesitation.
With one punch, time itself seemed to freeze.
The Ji Clan's Third Ancestor and the others had no way to resist. They did not even last a single breath before their bodies cracked apart.
The difference between them and Lu Yuan was indeed too great. After all, even when more than ten Grotto-Heaven Immortals had surrounded and attacked the man earlier, it had not even posed the slightest threat to him, let alone now.
Everything happened so quickly that the three Grotto-Heaven Immortals of the Ji Clan had no time to react. Their bodies shattered, and then their souls were obliterated.
They were deader than dead.
Lu Yuan remained the same as before. His mind did not fluctuate in the slightest. He had already killed the Holy Sons of the two clans. Why would he fear killing a few more people?
The two sides had long since become irreconcilable, with no room left for compromise. Naturally, he would not be courteous. He would kill those who should be killed.
At this point, there was nothing that he needed to take into consideration.
Without saying anything more, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the Grotto-Heaven Immortals who had surrounded and attacked him earlier.
"Are you preparing to kill us as well?" one person asked.
Although his tone sounded calm, he was actually a little panicked. Five Grotto-Heaven Immortals had already been killed, and they were people from the two great clans.
How could the rest of them remain as calm as before?
However, Lu Yuan shook his head.
"We were merely fighting over something normally. As long as you withdraw, I will not pursue the matter."
Lu Yuan was not some bloodthirsty maniac. It was not in him to slaughter everyone who stood in his way.
Moreover, these people had not chosen to continue attacking at the crucial moment and had stopped. There was even less reason to fight to the death.
"Understood. We will withdraw."
The remaining Grotto-Heaven Immortals immediately expressed their intent. They could tell that Lu Yuan was a reasonable person.
By contrast, joining the two clans to surround and attack Lu Yuan earlier had been rather disgraceful.
After all, if one looked at the matter, Lu Yuan was only a junior, but seniors like them had ganged up on him.
Now, everyone knew that they were absolutely not his match, and Lu Yuan did not intend to pursue the matter. If they still insisted on being stubborn, that would plainly be seeking death.
Naturally, they would not continue fighting.
"Is there anyone else who wants to stop me?"
Seeing that all the Grotto-Heaven Immortals present had withdrawn, Lu Yuan immediately swept his gaze around and looked toward the Outer Cosmos beings. His expression did not change. He stood in place, and his voice steady.
Yet no one present responded.
What kind of joke was this?
Even the Grotto-Heaven Immortals of the two great clans had died. Stop him? Were they seeking death?
The entire Mount Emei fell silent. No one spoke.
Lu Yuan stood at the very center of everyone, as though his strength alone could suppress them all.
This was the bearing of a true powerhouse.
"Many thanks."
Seeing that no one responded, Lu Yuan remarked. Then he looked toward the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token and took a step forward.
In an instant, he drew close, his expression calm. He said nothing more and reached out.
Wisps of purple light surged from the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token. Lu Yuan could clearly sense that the Ancient Token within his body was doing the same, continuously steaming with purple qi.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Just as he was about to take the token into his hand, the void trembled, and a terrifying aura pressed down in an instant.
Everyone sensed it. A powerful figure had descended while radiating tremendous pressure.
Lu Yuan sensed it as well.
Someone was obstructing him.
He was pinned in place and could not move at all.
"Lu Yuan, you killed my clansmen and slain my clan's Holy Son. Do you not know your crime?" a voice rang out, resounding through the entire world like thousands of peals of thunderclaps.
Immediately, everyone raised their heads.
From the void, a person slowly walked out. He wore a loose black robe and descended step by step.
The aura around him rumbled continuously, and a terrifying presence swept down. His strength had completely surpassed a Grotto-Heaven Immortal.
"A Ji Clan Creation Immortal?"
In the distance, Jiang Huanyun immediately furrowed his brows at the sight. He had not expected the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal to arrive so quickly.
Creation Immortal?
The expressions of everyone around him changed in an instant. None of them had expected that an existence of this level would appear.
"If you want to act, you can come now," Lu Yuan also said.
He managed to regain movement over his frozen body by circulating the power within him. He looked at the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal in the distance and added, "Killing one more makes no difference."
As soon as these words left his lips, everyone fell silent instantly. Indeed, it was an arrogant statement.
That was a Creation Immortal, a terrifying figure that only existed among the top ten starfields beneath the entire starry universe. He had already transcended the understanding of ordinary living beings. He was a terrifying powerhouse in the truest sense of those words.
Yet Lu Yuan not only showed no fear at all. He even provoked the Creation Immortal directly.
In the eyes of others, this was completely inconceivable. But Lu Yuan not only did it, he did so without the slightest fear.
"Interesting."
Above, the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal did not seem angered. What surprised him more was that Lu Yuan had actually broken free of his paralysis and regained movement.
In that case, the more he had no reason to spare Lu Yuan!
