Chapter 434. Going All-out, Dao Protectors
Moments later, wisps of purple light manifested and orbited Lu Yuan. The golden vital qi around him pulsed with even more power, improving his overall strength.
The giddiness to fight in his gaze was akin to a raging tide. At this very moment, Lu Yuan was like the Celestial Emperor reigning above all Dao. He looked as if the myriad beings were beneath him.
Rumble!
A majestic aura erupted from Lu Yuan, sweeping across the firmament. In that instant, everyone noticed the change in Lu Yuan and stared wide-eyed at him. No one knew what had happened, but they all knew that he had changed.
"What's going on?" Both the Ji Clan's Holy Son and the Eternals' Holy Son were caught off guard at the sight.
Lu Yuan's aura had changed drastically. It carried a powerful, daunting pressure that made them feel like they were going to die if they dared to face it.
"Attack him now! Stop him, or we'll be in danger!" the Child of the Present Buddha exclaimed. His calm face no longer looked so calm. It seemed he had sensed something that made him no longer carry the same confident demeanor as before.
In fact, he even began to draw power from the eighteen Venerables, making the golden light around him churn fiercely. The two Holy Sons also realized that something was wrong. With a frown, they held nothing back and attacked.
Lu Yuan decided to mobilize the blessing of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token inside him. As a result, he became even more terrifying, especially when he was going all-out. Despite facing three oncoming attacks at once, he decisively stepped forward rather than retreat.
Rumble!
The skies trembled, but there weren't any lightning bolts this time. Instead, space itself shattered in an instant, even though Lu Yuan had done nothing but take a single step forward.
Everyone present reeled in disbelief at the sight. They couldn't fathom how he had grown stronger than ever. Perhaps this was a trump card Lu Yuan had kept hidden all along. No one knew the answer, but the next moment, they were left dumbfounded once again.
When Lu Yuan's foot landed on the void, a wave of golden energy burst out of him as he sent his palm forward.
Boom!
A deafening explosion tore through the air. The three Holy-Son-level figures were blasted away. They had no way to withstand that attack at all.
The Eternals' Holy Son and the Ji Clan's Holy Son spat out blood on the spot. Cracks spread across their figures, and they looked as if they were about to shatter into pieces at any moment now.
The Child of the Present Buddha fared a little better. Even so, he was still forced to retreat, and his face turned a shade paler. He even almost failed to maintain his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.
"No way... how did he suddenly grow so powerful?"
"How come he still has another trick up his sleeve? Does he have no limits at all?"
The two Holy Sons were utterly shaken, unable to believe the sight before them. They had played many of their cards and had even set aside their pride to ask for help, but the outcome remained no different than before.
The Child of the Present Buddha couldn't make sense of it either. Lu Yuan was clearly just an Undying Immortal, so how come he suddenly became so powerful?
Of course, Lu Yuan had no intention of explaining anything to them. As he moved forward step by step, he said, "Didn't you three join forces to kill me? Go ahead and attack me with all you have. If you're not going to attack, then don't mind if I do."
Lu Yuan's aura intensified, and killing intent filled his gaze as he stared at them.
The two Holy Sons and the two great powers behind them had attacked Lu Yuan again and again. Lu Yuan no longer had any patience to spare for them. In accordance with the saying, "those who kill shall be killed," Lu Yuan was going to make them pay the price.
"You dare kill us?!" the Ji Clan's Holy Son exclaimed upon noticing something. "You'll be declaring war on us if you do that!"
Lu Yuan was so terrifying that it made the Holy Son feel like he was staring at Death himself. As a result, he couldn't help but panic.
However, Lu Yuan acted as if he couldn't hear him and simply raised his hand.
The Child of the Present Buddha came to his senses and hurriedly exclaimed, "Attack him! Now!"
The two Holy Sons moved at once and squeezed every ounce of their strength to attack. They had no choice. They could keenly feel that their lives were at stake here.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Holy-Son-level individuals attacked at once. While they were busy attacking, they diverted some of their attention to prepare a lethal attack made from the amalgamation of their power.
Lu Yuan noticed that but ignored it. The blessing of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token raised his overall power close to a Grotto-Heaven Immortal. At the moment, this was the peak of Lu Yuan's strength.
Naturally, he could easily deal with the three figures before him. After all, between Immortals, the gap between stages meant an enormous gap in power. So, how could these three withstand his attacks when his overall power was similar to a Grotto-Heaven Immortal?
Lu Yuan raised his hand and pushed his palm forward.
BOOM!
A roaring explosion shattered the lethal attack that the three had prepared against Lu Yuan. They were also blasted away, and their figures trembled violently like aspen trees as they came to a screeching halt.
The Child of the Present Buddha looked a bit better than the two, and this was thanks to the support of the eighteen Venerables behind him. Even so, blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.
All three of them shared the same thought. Just how strong is he exactly?!
Of course, Lu Yuan would never answer that question. He walked before the Ji Clan's Holy Son and the Eternals' Holy Son. These two were a bit weaker than the Child of the Present Buddha, so dealing with them would not be that problematic.
Without wasting a single word, he raised his right hand.
Boom!
A massive palm came crashing down. The two Holy Sons had no time to dodge and were struck head-on. Their figures fell like meteors, plummeting straight to the ground. When they slammed into the earth, a massive crater was gouged out of the ground.
The two were indeed worthy of their title. Despite taking Lu Yuan's attack head-on, they somehow survived it.
But I wonder how many attacks they can take... Lu Yuan smiled and stepped forward again.
The two jolted in alarm at the sight, and their faces drained of color. Lu Yuan truly wanted to kill them.
As for the Child of the Present Buddha, he simply watched from the side in disbelief. He even briefly forgot that he was supposed to make a move. He truly had not expected Lu Yuan to become so frightening.
"No. We have to do something, or we will actually die." The Eternals' Holy Son and the Ji Clan's Holy Son exchanged glances. Their plan to kill Lu Yuan could now be considered a failure.
Having made up their mind, they stood up and awakened a thread of energy inside them. As Holy Sons, they were the most talented younger generation of their clan, so they naturally had a contingency plan.
Of course, this contingency plan wasn't a formidable divine treasure. Instead, it was a plea for help. They had decided to ask their Dao Protectors for help!
