Chapter 501. Transcending Beyond the World, the Extracosmic Enemy Finally Arrives
Transcendence was built upon the original foundation. It meant leaping beyond the world.
To observe the operating principles of all things in the world—that was the Celestial Seat Realm.
In this realm, one did not truly master any rules but it was completely different from before. Because once one reached the Celestial Seat Realm, it was equivalent to taking the world as oneself, then using that perspective to understand all things.
Lu Yuan understood it now. He had truly comprehended it, and he also discovered that the benefits the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token brought him had indeed exceeded his expectations.
This bottleneck was one example. The same had actually been true when he reached the Creation Immortal Realm last time.
In short, the help provided by the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token was immense. Although it did not allow him to break through directly, this kind of assistance was clearly better.
It did not merely raise one's realm or strength. It only allowed one to see for themself and comprehend.
Of course, if this were anyone else, wanting to understand so many things in such a short time would naturally be impossible.
After reaching the Immortal Realm, the most crucial thing was comprehension of the various rules of Heaven and Earth. Even if one's strength was powerful and one's talent unmatched, comprehension was not something one could achieve merely because one wished to.
But Lu Yuan was different. With the Bodhi Tree strengthening his comprehension, along with his own powerful foundation, this was not especially difficult for him.
Added to that, from the very beginning, he had walked this path step by step and possessed his own insights. That was why everything had gone so smoothly.
However, if I really want to reach the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, I will likely still need time.
Now that he had experienced it, Lu Yuan finally understood the gap between the two realms. If he had to describe it, it was like the distance between an ordinary person and the Immortal Realm.
Yes. It was that exaggerated.
He finally understood as well. Between one Immortal Realm and another, they were completely different worlds. No wonder the Creation Immortals of the two forces had possessed such confidence in their own strength.
Lu Yuan could be certain that if he had not possessed enough foundation and methods, then in the same realm, the Creation Immortals of those two forces could indeed have killed him.
For them, doing so would not have posed any issue or much difficulty.
This was the vast difference between levels of strength. Even within the same realm, the same principle applied.
However, Lu Yuan was different from everyone else. His foundation was too deep, and he possessed all sorts of powerful methods.
Lu Yuan stopped dwelling on it and chose to focus on fusing the ancient token.
This required a long stretch of time. He also discovered that the more tokens he fused, the more time it required. However, he had already obtained the seventh token, so there was no need to hurry. He only needed to take it slowly.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the news concerning the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons continued to ferment.
Almost everyone knew that the two forces had suddenly vanished because they wanted to draw in enemies from beyond the cosmos.
Those were terrifying opponents. There were many rumors concerning them. Some said that even the Celestial Emperor had been powerless before such existences, and the calamities of every age in the universe had also been because of them.
The current Earth was gripped by anxiety, especially among the Outer Cosmos beings.
They had thought about fleeing first, but in the end, they felt that it did not matter whether they fled or not.
Once those existences descended, no one would be able to remain uninvolved.
Rather than that, they might as well stay on Earth a while longer and attempt to obtain the Great Age's Providence.
However, speaking of Great Age's Providence also left them extremely helpless. So much time had passed, yet no one, not even the top ten starfields, had made any new discoveries in that regard.
Added to the threat of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, the atmosphere on Earth grew increasingly tense.
They had crossed such an immense distance and had not obtained anything. Most importantly, they would have to face the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons in the future. Anyone would feel helpless.
However, compared to the nervousness and panic of those Outer Cosmos beings, Earth's humans and living beings were extraordinarily calm.
The five supercities remained the same as before, without even the slightest unrest.
This was partly because of the Celestial Court's management, but the actual reason was that whether human or mutated beast, all of them had enormous confidence in Lu Yuan.
Of course, beyond that, even if a great tribulation really descended in the end and brought a terrible crisis, they were still willing to face it together with the Celestial Court and Lu Yuan.
In the eyes of many people, the man known as King Lu had already protected this world many, many times.
From the Global Awakening until now, how many things had happened? If not for King Lu, how many people would have survived in the end?
Ordinary people might not know much, but they were clear on this point.
There had also been mutated beasts, Outer Cosmos existences, and so on. Every time a calamity descended, humanity would suffer a major blow. But now, many people were still alive and well.
Some could even choose to become Awakened and step onto the path of evolution because of the Celestial Court's appearance.
In the past, this had been completely impossible in their eyes, but now it had all become reality.
And all of this had been brought by Lu Yuan.
So even if they knew a great tribulation would come later, then so be it. They would face it together.
No matter what the final result was, at least they would have no regrets.
The mutated beasts were the same. Even though they had once had all kinds of grudges with humanity, after experiencing so much and watching the Outer Cosmos beings descend, from their initial arrogance and tyranny to their current restraint, they also understood that without Lu Yuan, everything they had now would not exist.
Thus, while all the Outer Cosmos beings were panicked and worried, this world remained the same as before.
The Celestial Court that Lu Yuan had personally built was even more so. Everyone was working hard to cultivate, wanting to evolve another step higher, hoping to possess some strength when the future tribulation arrived.
In short, the Outer Cosmos beings and the living beings of this world were in two completely different states.
The Jiang Clan saw all this as well, and they increasingly felt that Lu Yuan was indeed extraordinary.
To be able to gather the hearts of an entire world was not something an ordinary person could accomplish.
The Jiang Clan's cooperation with him could no longer be called the correct choice.
It was fortune.
After learning of this, Jiang Ningxian did not pay it much mind because she had long expected this result.
She also understood that as long as Lu Yuan was here, no matter how difficult the situation became, it would not be a problem.
He would definitely resolve it.
Until this day, Jiang Ningxian received news from beyond the domain, personally delivered by Jiang Huanyun.
"Is this news true? The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons have appeared? And a great battle has already begun?"
Jiang Ningxian's eyes trembled. Her words carried disbelief.
She had not expected this to happen so soon.
"Yes. The Starfield Lord has ordered us to act as well. At the very least, you and Haokong must leave Earth and head to the battlefield. If possible, Lu Yuan can come with us too!" Jiang Huanyun spoke in a solemn tone.
