Chapter 454. A Battle Beyond the Heavens, Vital Qi Covers the Firmament
The Ji Clan's Creation Immortal had started off less than serious, but soon enough, he gradually grew solemn.
Having cultivated to his current level, he fully understood how vast was the gap between a Grotto-Heaven Immortal and a Creation Immortal. It was almost impossible to describe in words. It was a gap in grasping certain rules.
Yet Lu Yuan?
He had actually broken free of those particular rules.
At first, when he heard that Lu Yuan might threaten the Ji Clan, he had not taken it to heart at all. Even if Lu Yuan had reached the Immortal Realm, to a major clan ranked in the top ten beneath the entire starry cosmos, he was simply not worth paying attention to.
The Ji Clan's foundation was too deep. If it could be shaken by only one or two experts, how could it reign over this world?
But things were different now.
Judging from Lu Yuan's battle prowess and various displays, this man possessed unimaginable potential. Under such circumstances, if he were given enough time to grow, he would inevitably become terrifying.
Becoming a Creation Immortal was only a matter of time. After that, he could possibly break through to become a Celestial Seat Immortal, or even Supreme Immortal.
In that case, even the Ji Clan had no choice but to take Lu Yuan seriously.
The Ji Clan Creation Immortal gathered his focus. Wisps of killing intent appeared in his eyes, and the aura around him continuously spread outward.
In the distance, everyone was starting to freeze at the sight, because they could sense that both the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal and Lu Yuan intended to fight.
A Grotto-Heaven Immortal battling a Creation Immortal...
To anyone, that was shocking beyond belief, because there was a full realm between them. This was not like back when they were still in lower realms. This was the Immortal Realm, where the difference between each realm was enormous.
They were shocked.
Should they call Lu Yuan courageous, or arrogant?
To be honest, if this had happened at any other time, none of the Outer Cosmos beings present would ever have imagined that a Grotto-Heaven Immortal would challenge a Creation Immortal. They would have considered it pure suicide.
However, when the person involved was Lu Yuan, they really did not know what to say. Because in every great battle, he had indeed obtained victory. More importantly, at the time, no one had believed he could do it.
Yet he had succeeded anyway.
So even now, when Lu Yuan was challenging a Creation Immortal directly, everyone realized that they could not make a judgment lightly.
Lu Yuan looked up at the Creation Immortal above, and battle intent once again surfaced in his eyes.
He was not in a hurry to take away the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, because there was no need to. Even if he obtained it, he would still need time to refine it. The Ji Clan's Creation Immortal before him would not give him that time.
So he needed to resolve this hassle right now.
The battle intent around him grew even stronger than before.
Golden vital qi boiled once again, as though responding to his thoughts.
"Very good. You have courage. I wonder just how far you can go." After sensing Lu Yuan's aura, the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal revealed a smile.
Of course, this was no compliment; the killing intent on him had also grown even denser.
Lu Yuan shook his head in response. "Drop the trash talk. We fight."
The moment his words fell, he took a step forward.
Boom!
A powerful aura immediately surged out.
Above, the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal did not hold back either and gave a cold snort. Immense power swept out from his body.
In an instant, the stretch of sky around them trembled. But in the next moment, both figures vanished without a trace.
"They have gone beyond the heavens to fight."
Jiang Huanyun raised his head and looked toward the void. His scalp tingled. He had not expected Lu Yuan to actually fight a Creation Immortal.
When Jiang Huanyun had first descended, Lu Yuan had only just entered the Immortal Realm.
It was too inconceivable.
Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong looked at each other as well, unable to find words.
At the same time, the Outer Cosmos beings were all dumbstruck. They had not expected the progression of events.
Very soon, a thought entered their mind. Lu Yuan had left, and the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal had left as well.
But, the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token seemed to still remain where it was.
If someone acted now, would they not be able to take it for themselves?
However, the moment this thought appeared in their hearts, it was immediately dismissed.
Although those two had already gone beyond the heavens, if they wished, they could descend with a single thought. Acting now would probably be courting death.
So they stopped thinking about it. They simply chose to watch and wait for the final result of the battle.
There was nothing else they could do. After all, a Creation Immortal had appeared.
At the same time, beyond Earth, two figures stood in outer space.
Powerful auras raged constantly and surged outward. Some smaller nearby stars were affected and cracked apart.
Whether it was Lu Yuan or the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal, both had released their auras without reservation. On Earth, the power of an Immortal might still be restricted, but in the starry universe, it was terrifying beyond measure.
There were no unnecessary words.
Lu Yuan acted first. This time, he would use his full strength.
Clang, clang, clang!
The Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared, shooting out sharp sword beams that seemed able to cut space itself apart.
Before this, Lu Yuan had never used the sword embryo because he knew the Eternals would certainly come looking for trouble. He himself was not afraid, but it was different for the Celestial Court under him.
However, the situation had changed. He now had enough strength to ignore many things.
At the same time, grotto-heavens slowly manifested behind him one after another. A god sat within each grotto-power and emanated power.
Then that power was bestowed upon Lu Yuan.
Boom!
In an instant, the aura Lu Yuan released became even stronger than before.
"Great!" Across from him, the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal immediately sneered.
There was nothing more to say. With his hands clasped behind his back, he took a step forward. Divine light continuously emerged from his body.
In an instant, the two clashed head-on.
Rumble!
Even beyond Earth, their exchange still produced a tremendous roar. They were too strong, surpassing the scope of human understanding. Lightning continuously appeared in the universe, and some stars even exploded.
Lu Yuan fought the Ji Clan's Creation Immortal and used his full strength from the very beginning. He channeled the augmented power upon the Great Luo Sword Embryo.
Right now, he resembled a sword immortal from myths.
With one slash, space itself shattered.
But before him stood a Creation Immortal. With a slight raise of the hand, countless rays of divine light surged and wiped out that sword light.
Such a method could absolutely be called terrifying.
Yet with the greater the display of might, the brighter Lu Yuan's eyes became, and the stronger his battle intent grew.
