Chapter 436. Final Blow, Its Over, Scattered like Smoke
Lu Yuan stood high in the firmament. With just a single punch, he had obliterated the projections of the two Dao Protectors, scattering them as if they were mere smoke.
None of those present had any idea how Lu Yuan had somehow done it, and it left them all reeling in disbelief.
Of course, those two Dao Protectors were mere projections rather than their true bodies, but they still possessed power beyond the level of a Grotto-Heaven Immortal. Despite that, Lu Yuan had annihilated them outright, even though he was just an Undying Immortal.
It was a scene they all deemed impossible. In fact, none of them had ever thought it could be done, yet Lu Yuan had done it, and right before their eyes at that.
The two Holy Sons stood frozen in place, unable to get a single word out of their throats. Their Dao Protectors had stepped in, but they hadn't imagined that the final outcome would be no different. The power of the man before them was so terrifying that they couldn't even begin to imagine it.
As soon as they realized that, terror gripped their hearts. It was their first time experiencing this sensation. Given their talent and standing, none had ever pushed them into a corner before.
Today, Lu Yuan had done just that, and he was looking down at them from above.
This time was different. Instead of the other way around, they were the ones being subjected to a gaze from above.
"It's over," Jiang Ningxian murmured to herself at the sight. The situation had gone beyond her imagination, and she had no idea how Lu Yuan had pulled it off.
Even so, one thing was clear to her. The two Holy Sons were dead. Once Lu Yuan had made a decision, nothing would convince him to change his mind.
Of course, Jiang Ningxian felt nothing about it. The two Holy Sons deserved it.
Beside her, a faint smile rose on Jiang Haokong's face. Then he turned his gaze toward the rest of the Immortals from the two powers. Now that the battle had reached a critical juncture, he couldn't let any of them interfere.
"You wouldn't dare!" the Eternals' Holy Son roared. Sensing the fierce murderous intent radiating from Lu Yuan, he found it hard to believe at first, but his disbelief soon turned to fear. Deep down, he truly couldn't bring himself to imagine that anyone would actually lay a hand on him.
"I'd dare to do anything," Lu Yuan remarked, shaking his head, his golden vital qi rushing out of him without pause. He had already sealed off the surroundings. No one could interfere, and the two Holy Sons couldn't escape, either.
Lu Yuan faced the two Holy Sons and gently raised his hand. A magnificent power thrummed within him, and intense murderous intent swept out, as if it would destroy all of heaven and earth. Right now, with the empowerment of Providence behind him, the power Lu Yuan commanded was truly overwhelming, terrifying to a degree that defied all ordinary measure.
"Lu Yuan, don't you dare!"
"Stop this at once!"
Just then, two roars echoed. They came from the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor and that elder of the Eternals. Both had sensed that their Holy Sons' lives were in danger, and they descended to stop Lu Yuan dead in his tracks.
If a Holy Son were to die here, it would truly be a catastrophe for them.
"Your opponent is me," Jiang Huanyun said, descending to stop the two elders. "Let the youngsters settle their own problems, old fogies."
By now, all three of them had been through a fierce battle, and their auras fluctuated erratically. Compared to Jiang Huanyun, however, the other two looked rather worse for wear. They had injuries that were neither light nor severe, and they also looked exhausted. Clearly, they were thoroughly outmatched by Jiang Huanyun.
Upon sensing that their Holy Sons were in danger, they forced themselves to descend. Unfortunately, Jiang Huanyun would never give them the chance to interfere.
Jiang Huanyun was deeply shaken by Lu Yuan's performance. He had stood alone against two Holy Sons and the Child of the Present Buddha, yet he had dominated them. To make matters even more terrifying, he had obliterated the projections of the Holy Sons' Dao Protectors.
All of this made Jiang Huanyun feel even more certain that Lu Yuan was anything but ordinary. He would most likely reach the apex. The Jiang Clan's choice to work with him had been absolutely the right one.
With that in mind, Jiang Huanyun became determined to ensure that the two elders couldn't interfere with Lu Yuan. Jiang Huanyun made his move and blocked the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor and that elder of the Eternals head-on.
Lu Yuan paid them no further attention and swung his fist. He had been wanting to do this for quite some time now. Now that the time had come, he was not going to hold back.
Boundless power burst out of him, engulfing both Holy Sons. The faces of the two changed color. However, they wasted no time and went all-out. They had to go all-out, or they would die.
Streams of light wrapped around them as they braced to defend themselves. Unfortunately, Lu Yuan had the power of Providence bolstering his power. The two Holy Sons could unleash everything they had, but their efforts were destined to be in vain.
BOOM!
The two Holy Sons' defenses collapsed in the proverbial blink of an eye. The next moment, both of them spat out a mouthful of blood. They trembled like aspen trees from their injuries, but they remained alive. Of course, they were seriously injured.
"Tenacious, I'll give you that. Lu Yuan smiled at that. Then he raised his palm once more and brought it down on the two.
Boom!
Lu Yuan's golden vital qi rushed out of him like a deluge, shaking the firmament itself. The two Holy Sons staggered backward nonstop, and wounds opened all over their figures at once.
Blood gushed out of their wounds, only to be evaporated in mere moments by Lu Yuan's overwhelming power. The two Holy Sons were the cream of the crop talents even across the universe, but they were like babies before Lu Yuan. They could not resist at all.
Their wounds grew worse, threatening their lives. Had it not been for the fact that they were formidable Awakened themselves, they would have long lost their lives against Lu Yuan's relentless attacks.
"Lu Yuan, stop! If you don't, you'll incur a blood debt with our two clans! That is not something you can even begin to handle!"
Up above, the Ji Clan's Third Ancestor and that elder of the Eternals were enraged by the sight. They wanted to step in, but Jiang Huanyun would never let them have their way.
"Even now, you're still threatening me?" Lu Yuan's face remained flat. The two great powers truly believed that they reigned supreme over everyone else. Even now, they still had that signature demeanor of superiority. Lu Yuan found it to be utterly repulsive.
Still, he disregarded them. His gaze remained calm, and his hands showed no signs of stopping. If anything, his attacks grew heavier. Lu Yuan was going to kill them, and he was not going to show them any mercy.
Regardless of how formidable the two Holy Sons were, they still couldn't last long under Lu Yuan's nonstop attacks. Soon, cracks pervaded their figures as even their bones shattered into pieces.
The sight told Lu Yuan that the time to deal the final blow was here!
