Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Clearly, this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

The life essence produced by the sacrifice of hundreds of millions of beings was enormous, yet it was quickly absorbed completely by this black figure.

As his aura continued to grow, the entire sky slowly darkened.

Not far away, when the Celestial saw this, he immediately ordered those ordinary beings to speed up the sacrifice.

Time slipped by.

When no life remained on this planet, the life essence had also been completely absorbed by the black figure.

The mist around him was denser than before, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

"Not bad. My strength has recovered by another ten percent." The black figure rose, the satisfaction in his tone unmistakable.

He did not care in the slightest about the ordinary beings who had provided him with power. He looked at the Celestial and said, "You have done well. Let's go to the next place."

Although he had recovered some strength, it was clearly still not enough. After everything, he needed to go to the Celestial Star and deal with the true powerhouses of this world.

There were many Celestial Seat Immortals and even a Supreme Immortal there, all with terrifying strength. He had to continue recovering and improving.

"Yes!"

The Celestial immediately responded.

Then the two figures vanished.

The once-flourishing planet fell into utter silence. The only thing that remained was the collapsing black altar and the surrounding surging magma.

Yes. A planet had been destroyed just like that. If Earth hadn't had anyone protecting it, it would have faced the same demise.

Yet in the eyes of both the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon and the Celestial, none of this seemed to matter to them.

Not long after they left, a void passage appeared. Lu Yuan and the others walked out from within and quickly found the sacrificial site.

Looking at the scene before them, Jiang Ningxian and the others' expressions changed slightly.

"We came late again," Jiang Haokong remarked, the anger in his eyes blazing stronger than before.

Ever since they had decided to find the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon, they had crossed several planets with life in a short period of time. Apart from those with very little life, the beings on the others had all been sacrificed.

Each time, they felt they were about to catch up, but they were still one step too late. That meant large numbers of beings had died during this time.

How could Jiang Haokong not be furious?

However, Lu Yuan remained very calm. He analyzed the current situation and said, "Judging from the planets we have passed through, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon does not go to every planet with life. If the population is too small, it does not care. So, we need to change our strategy."

"You mean we should head to planets with large numbers of living beings?"

Jiang Ningxian immediately understood what he meant.

"That's right." Lu Yuan nodded. "There is no time to lose. We cannot delay any longer."

He then opened another spatial passage. He also brought out Fuxi's Bagua Diagram and investigated the surrounding starfield, instantly locking on to a target.

A sharp glint surfaced in his eyes. "This time, I don't believe you can still escape!"

He then walked straight into the spatial passage.

How many lives had there been on those planets? By now, even Lu Yuan was enraged and filled with killing intent.

Jiang Ningxian and the others followed closely behind. Their anger had also been stirred.

Meanwhile, on another planet, there were the same volcanoes and the same black altar.

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demon had already arrived and was sitting cross-legged upon it.

Meanwhile, three Celestials had appeared here. Each one was at the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm, and they were extremely powerful.

They stood in the void, looking down and emitting terrifying pressure.

The beings of this planet were humans, just like the humans on Earth. In fact, within the universe, humans were extremely numerous.

Under the pressure of the three Celestias, they had no choice but to be forcibly gathered around those volcanoes.

Thunder rumbled continuously in the sky. Below, countless people trembled.

The Celestials watched as people were forced to jump down and die. The elderly, children, and women were all filled with fear.

Shouts and cries rose in waves. They did not want to die, but when the Celestials in the sky saw the resistance, they acted and forcefully threw a group of people down into the volcanoes.

As a result, more and more life essence gathered within the volcanoes.

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demon did not seem to be in a hurry. He knew this was still not enough.

The sacrifice needed to continue.

As time passed, more and more people died. This planet seemed to turn into purgatory in an instant.

Yet the Celestials did not care at all. To them, allowing the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon before them to recover his strength was the most important thing. They paid no attention to the number of deaths.

"There's too little life essence from ordinary people. Things would be different if they were all cultivators. Unfortunately, our people have not fully descended yet. Even if they do, their strength will be greatly damaged from passing through the world barrier.

"But it does not matter. With the life essence before me, as far as I am concerned..."

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demon seated cross-legged on the black altar spoke. His body remained shrouded in mist, making it impossible to discern his facial features. From his words, he seemed dissatisfied with the current progress.

However, he did not really mind. As long as he sacrificed all the beings of this planet and devoured all the life essence they produced, his strength would increase further. At that time, he could go to the Celestial Star.

Once the trouble on the Celestial Star was resolved, many things would become much easier.

But just then, the expression of this Extracosmic Heavenly Demon suddenly changed.

He sensed turbulence in the void.

Not far away, the other Celestials also noticed it, and shock consumed them.

The void shook and a passage appeared before everyone. Figures walked out from within.

The one at the very front was Lu Yuan.

He saw countless beings exactly like humans being thrown into the volcanoes. Without any hesitation, he immediately instructed, "Act. Save those people first. I will kill those Celestials."

If Lu Yuan had not encountered it, there would have been nothing to say. But now that he had seen it, he would not choose to stand by.

In an instant, he attacked, his aura surging out.

Beside him, Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong also took a step forward.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan appeared before the three Celestials.

This time, he did not hold back.

He threw a punch.

Rumble.

The void shook, and the earth trembled.

The three Celestials at the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm did not even have a chance to react before they turned into blood mist.
