Chapter 365. The Holy Sons of Two Great Starfields, the Immortals Descend Again
The Holy Son of the Eternals and the Holy Son of the Ji Clan had already drawn near the Milky Way Starfield.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the news. His expression also turned grave.
He knew clearly that those two were the most outstanding and powerful younger-generation figures from two of the top ten great races in the entire cosmos.
Actual core figures were about to descend, and for one sole reason.
The Milky Way Starfield was going to be completely unsealed, and the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth would vanish entirely very soon.
That meant that the real trial was starting.
When those legendary powerhouses descended upon Earth, anyone without sufficient strength would suffer.
"I have already seen what the Ji Clan's Holy Son is capable of. He is indeed a formidable opponent. As for the Eternals..."
Even up till now, Lu Yuan did not know much about the Eternals. Though he had killed several of their people, that was all there was to it.
And after the series of events before, he knew that The Eternals would definitely find him for revenge.
So, the Eternals' Holy Son was destined to become his opponent, and it was inevitable that there would be a great battle between them.
But before that, Lu Yuan needed to understand his enemy better.
"The Eternals' Holy Son is not that simple to deal with either. Though he didn't become famous as early as the Ji Clan's Holy Son, he is not inferior in terms of legend and reputation. He is hailed as the being with the greatest talent in the entire cosmos for the past ten thousand years."
Jiang Haokong then continued with a solemn gaze. "I have seen him once. At that time, he was in the Great Sage Realm. But that aura he gave off gave me a great sense of threat. If we were in the same realm, I might not be his match."
This was the second time Jiang Haokong admitted that he was inferior to someone else. The first time was when he was talking about the Ji Clan's Holy Son.
Jiang Haokong himself was also a Holy Son of one of the top ten great races, yet a heaven-favored prodigy held such a stance at this moment.
He definitely would not make such comments if those two were not truly terrifying.
"Yes. The Eternals' Holy Son really is very strong," Jiang Ningxian added.
"However, it's not just those two you have to face. Because of everything that happened before, everyone already learned of your name. When that time arrives, I'm afraid all the Rankers, Holy Sons, and Saintesses of the entire universe will probably come looking for you.
"You don't need to be concerned about most of them, but there are still some powerhouses among them."
Jiang Ningxian let out a sigh before she continued, "I never thought that the comment I made so casually in the past about how you would stand against the whole world would actually come true."
It was not that she lacked confidence in Lu Yuan.
It was simply that he would have to face too many enemies, and they were too strong.
Moreover, there was the off chance that some of the old-gen monsters might choose to intervene as well.
After all, for this period of time, Lu Yuan had killed many beings from many different races and ruined their previous plans to conquer the Milky Way Starfield.
"Standing against the whole world? That actually sounds pretty nice." With a smile, he continued, "As far as I'm concerned, I also want to see just how powerful those so-called favored children of heaven and the prodigies of the whole universe really are."
Honestly, he was also considered to have a strong fighting spirit in nature, just that he did not have the opportunity before.
After all, very few people could withstand him going all out, except for a handful.
Now that the Rankers of the whole universe would seemingly be setting their sights on him, that did not sound so bad at all.
The Jiang siblings exchanged a glance, but neither said anything more.
They both understood Lu Yuan's temperament very well so they had somewhat expected him to say something like this.
"But you can rest easy," Jiang Ningxian spoke up again. "My Jiang Clan's people are reaching the Milky Way Starfield soon too. We have been cooperating from the very beginning and will continue to stand with you. So you don't have to worry about that."
She knew that Earth and Lu Yuan would face an enormous trial this time. Under those circumstances, the Jiang Clan also had to step in.
Else, it was definitely not enough to rely on Earth alone, or even on the power of the Celestial Court.
"I know. Thank you."
Lu Yuan did not refuse for one simple reason.
He knew that Earth was still too weak. With the strength of Earth alone, they could not possibly stand against those great Outer Cosmos races.
It was for the best that the Jiang Clan was willing to help.
"In any case, everything is going to change drastically in the days ahead. We can only keep strengthening ourselves. You must also pay close attention to the Eternals' Holy Son and the Ji Clan's Holy Son." Jiang Ningxian spoke again. "If those two descend, they will likely challenge you as soon as they arrive."
She knew these two were extremely dangerous.
Jiang Haokong felt the same.
He understood that at a critical moment, one careless move could bring great danger. After all, they were two true heaven-favored prodigies.
"If they want to fight, then we fight. I fear no one." Lu Yuan merely shook his head, utterly unconcerned.
As long as it was a fair battle, he had immense confidence in himself.
The three of them talked for a while longer before going their separate ways.
Lu Yuan returned to his room, and at the thought of the Jiang siblings' words, his gaze turned serious.
He knew this very clearly in his heart, that he could not afford to make any mistake regardless of what happened next.
After all, the lives of the beings in this world now rested on his shoulders, whether directly or indirectly.
Lu Yuan drew in a deep breath and cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind.
Then he took out the Liangzhou Cauldron and cut open his palm.
Another round of refinement began.
At the same time, beyond Earth... or to be precise, beyond the Milky Way Starfield, one after another, stars appeared, dazzling beyond comparison.
Each of them was like a sun, radiating a terrifying aura.
They stood in space in utter stillness.
However, at a closer look, one would realize that these stars were not real, but only projected phantoms.
More importantly, silhouettes existed within these stars. Every single silhouette represented an Immortal!
All the radiance and overwhelming auras came from these Immortals. At closer observation, the number of beings who had reached the Immortal Realm had already exceeded a hundred.
The assembled Immortals had already arrived outside the Milky Way Starfield.
Most importantly, unlike before, these Immortals were no longer projections. They had arrived in their true bodies.
"The Milky Way Starfield... we have finally arrived. The power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth will likely disappear completely soon. Then, it will be the time for all of us to descend, and everything left unresolved from the past will finally be settled," one of the Immortals spoke. His gaze was calm as he looked toward the vast starfield before him.
Terrifyingly, as his voice rang out, star after star exploded.
