Chapter 366. The Immortal Realm, a Common Goal, Working Together as One
It was a truly terrifying scene. One after another, stars exploded, emitting an incomparably brilliant light. It looked as though the entire universe had collapsed into nothingness. The sight itself would certainly send astonishment into one's very core.
At the same time, within that expanse, one overwhelmingly powerful aura after another spread outward. Each of those auras belonged to an Immortal Realm existence, a terrifying being beyond the Sage Realm.
They stood there, their figures blazing with divine light.
Right before them was the Milky Way Starfield.
"The greatest problem right now is that man called Lu Yuan. For some unknown reason, his speed of cultivation and evolution is unbelievably fast. In an absurdly short time, he has already reached the Great Sage Realm and become the strongest in the entire Milky Way Starfield."
"His combat strength is also terrifying. Not only is he invincible within the same realm, he can even fight across realms," a figure spoke. He had wings on his back, and bolts of lightning flickered ceaselessly around him.
He looked powerful, and he was none other than the Holy Son of the Celestials, who had already reached the peak of the Great Sage Realm.
One more step, and he would enter the Immortal Realm. With his Talent, breaking into that realm was only a matter of time.
Despite that, when he spoke of Lu Yuan, he wore a grave expression on his countenance. He knew that Lu Yuan was a terrifying opponent and even if he were to fight that man personally, he might not have any advantage.
The Holy Sons of the other clans stood beside him. Each one shared the same thought.
Truth be told, it was hard for them to imagine that the Milky Way Starfield had only just awakened not long ago, but a figure who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them had already emerged.
After all, they themselves had spent an extremely long time reaching their current realm. On top of them, they had poured in immense effort, energy, and resources.
Yet this Lu Yuan of the Milky Way Starfield?
It seemed as though he had reached this step with ease. For all the Outer Cosmos beings, this was not good news for one simple reason.
Lu Yuan's existence was a hindrance to many of their plans.
"So our next step is to find a way to completely get rid of him. Otherwise, it'll be hard for our plans to proceed. This man is a variable and variables are the most dangerous thing," another voice rang out.
A brilliant divine halo hovered behind the man's head. The aura he exuded was so powerful that even some larger stars trembled because of it. Strands of divine light poured continuously from him.
Even the Holy Sons and Saintesses felt immense pressure from that man and didn't wish to face him head-on.
"Yes. Once we descend, there's only one ending for Lu Yuan—death!" Another voice rang out.
His entire figure was shrouded in light. His whole bearing carried the aura of a supreme powerhouse. His presence was enough to make others bow their heads.
These two beings had both already reached the Immortal Realm, and their auras were stronger than everyone else present.
Both of them shared a common goal, and that was to kill Lu Yuan.
One of them was the Holy Son of the Eternals, and the other one was of the Ji Clan. Both of them had arrived at the outer reaches of the Milky Way Starfield.
Once the time was right, they would descend without the slightest hesitation. Though that stretch of distance still seemed very far from Earth, it was nothing for Immortals.
The only thing they found troublesome was the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth, which restricted everything. Otherwise, the two Holy Sons would have descended long ago, especially the Holy Son of the Ji Clan.
His eyes still burned with fury toward Lu Yuan. After all, even the person he valued had been killed, and his projection had been destroyed as well. It was a blatant disregard of his existence. Long ago, he had already made his decision that Lu Yuan needed to die.
Both Holy Sons had clearly expressed their stance.
They did not want Lu Yuan to live. At the same time, they were also signaling to everyone present that everyone should stand on the same side on this matter.
After all, their interests were aligned.
Once Lu Yuan died, the fate of the Milky Way Starfield would be theirs to decide. All the opportunities, all the blessed fortune, they could take all of them as they pleased.
Naturally, a number of Holy Sons and Saintesses from the great clans nodded one after another. Their own clansmen had also died at Lu Yuan's hands. This was a deep blood feud, and it had to be avenged.
Of course, support and opposition existed together. Not every Outer Cosmos being wanted to conquer the Milky Way Starfield or make an enemy of Lu Yuan.
For some of them, they had only come to take part in the Great Age and obtain a sliver of the providence it would bring.
Naturally, the two Holy Sons understood too, so they did not press the matter. They did not want to be so overbearing that they forced certain people into standing with Lu Yuan instead.
Both of them also knew that the Jiang Clan seemed to have already formed an alliance with him. The Jiang Clan was no ordinary force with a deep foundation.
As such, the most important thing was to get as many people as possible to stand with them.
"Now, we only have to wait for the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth to slowly dissipate."
The two Holy Sons looked toward the distant Milky Way Starfield. To be more precise, toward the direction of Earth.
Light surged in their eyes.
One day, they would descend.
Meanwhile, on Earth, at Mount Tai Trials Academy, the upper ranks of the Celestial Court had also sensed the changes in the starry sky.
Modern technology could not detect it, but they had already formed an alliance with the Jiang Clan. The Jiang Clan had also sent over many special methods, allowing them to discover that a great danger was drawing closer beyond the Milky Way Starfield.
Elder Ji and Elder Yun naturally informed Lu Yuan of this.
Yet after receiving the news, Lu Yuan didn't say much.
He simply continued instructing the members of the Celestial Court to keep cultivating and amassing enough strength.
On the path of cultivation and evolution, the further one went, the harder it became. That was true even across the entire starry cosmos. Therefore, even if Outer Cosmos beings descended, existences at the Immortal Realm would still remain rare.
Every bit stronger the Celestial Court became was a good thing for this world.
Lu Yuan's thinking was very simple. No matter what happened next, there was no need to worry too much. As long as they grew strong enough themselves and worked together as one, there would be nothing to fear.
The higher-ups of the Celestial Court and the younger generation understood this as well, so no one felt panic in their hearts. Since the Global Awakening began, they had already faced countless trials.
During this time, Lu Yuan also finally finished refining the fifth cauldron, the Liangzhou Cauldron!
Once again, the power of Providence was added to the Celestial Emperor's Edict. As long as a being's true name was written upon it, whether human or mutated beast, each of them felt a new power arise within themselves at that moment. It was a very strange sensation.
More importantly, Lu Yuan made a new discovery as well.
