Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

The crowd exclaimed in reverence upon seeing the Five Supremes.

”They’re so strong... they truly are at the apex of us Awakened!”

”They must be here to carve open a path for us to take!”

Compared to ordinary Awakened, the Five Supremes were truly powerful. In just a few moments, they carved out a path toward the Mausoleum. Though they were still far from the Mausoleum itself, they were getting there.

”It’s my turn to make a move. Yunqiong, just wait here,” the Winged Celestial God said. The intent to fight pervaded his eyes. Upon seeing how the four Supremes had opened up a path without him, he finally couldn’t just stand around anymore.

Indeed, the reason he hadn’t made a move earlier was that it was too early. In addition, dealing with small fry wouldn’t be enough to show everyone the true depths of his power.

Fortunately, the rest of the Five Supremes were here.

The Winged Celestial God’s plan was simple. He was going to suppress everyone else in this great battle. After all, a reference point was needed if he wanted to make everyone understand his bloodline’s true strength.

BOOM!

A thunderous roar echoed as the Winged Celestial God’s wings quivered. Moments later, the Winged Celestial God flew into the battlefield as electric currents swirled around him.

The terracotta soldiers in his way exploded into dust; they couldn’t stop him at all.

The Winged Celestial God was truly extraordinary; he had two wings containing the power of wind and lightning; he had silver hair and a pair of golden eyes. His extraordinary bearing also meant attracting the eyes of everyone, everywhere.

He appeared last, but he moved fast, easily catching up to the four Supremes.

”The Winged Celestial God is really strong... he must be the strongest of the Five Supremes. That senior is weaker compared to him,” Zhu Qingyu solemnly said at the sight unfolding before her.

They had yet to make a move, as the battlefield was just too chaotic.

”Since they’re opening up a path for us to take, it’s only a matter of time until we enter the Mausoleum,” Dean Zheng said and added, ”However, carving open a path is still going to be difficult even for them. It looks like we’ll have to wait. The terracotta soldiers aren’t going to go down without a fight.”

As soon as Dean Zheng’s words fell, the terracotta soldiers rushed toward the backline, determined to stop the Five Supremes.

”Kill!”

The archers in the backline drew their longbows and unleashed thousands of arrows once. Archers were the most elite soldiers in the Qin dynasty, and they were extremely powerful in combat.

A rain of arrows descended.

The terracotta soldiers pressed on without fear, fighting despite receiving extensive damage, but the Awakened were different, and casualties rose steadily.

Even the Five Supremes, including the Winged Celestial God, were forced to stop their advance and respond to the rain of attacks.

”Wait, these terracotta soldiers are actually getting stronger!”

”Not just that, they’re increasing in numbers, too!”

”Damn it, how are we supposed to deal with them?!”

As time went on, more and more terracotta soldiers appeared, and they were even stronger than the first wave of terracotta soldiers. The Awakened could no longer withstand their attacks and were forced to retreat with severe injuries.

The number of casualties climbed steadily as their blood dyed the ground with a crimson hue.

In the end, everyone discovered that the terracotta soldiers wouldn’t chase them once they were a certain distance away. However, how were they supposed to obtain what was inside the tomb if they couldn’t even get close to the gateway?

The Winged Celestial God, the Northern Emperor, and the other Supremes no longer looked as relaxed as before. The number of terracotta soldiers was increasing fast, and they had to think of a solution as soon as possible.

”Northern Emperor, Ice Fairy, Asura, Southern Sovereign!” the Winged Celestial God exclaimed, ”Things are going to become extremely troublesome at this rate. Why don’t the five of us join forces to carve out a path? Then, we can discuss the rest after entering the tomb together?”

His words attracted the attention of many people.

The Northern Emperor and other Supremes stopped to consider the Winged Celestial God’s suggestion. Moments later, Asura walked up to the Winged Celestial God, clearly agreeing with his suggestion.

The rest of the Supremes didn’t hesitate for long. The five of them certainly wouldn’t be in much danger inside the tomb, but dealing with so many powerful terracotta soldiers was getting troublesome.

If they joined forces, the situation would be much better.

”The Five Supremes have decided to join forces! We’ve got to leave now!”

The Awakened chose to stop fighting and retreat upon realizing what the Five Supremes were about to do. They were excited. How could they not be excited when this was the first time the Five Supremes would join forces?

Everyone retreated to take a good look at the Five Supremes’ power.

The Winged Celestial God walked at the helm of the group, while the four Supremes trailed behind him. They uttered no words and simply unleashed their strongest attack.

A blood-red saber, a pair of fists, a wave of cold aura, and a radiant light blossomed above the battlefield. Then, the Winged Celestial God’s wings flapped, propelling the four Supremes’ power forward by shrouding them with a fierce gale and mighty lightning.

A cataclysmic, world-ending tempest manifested and surged forward.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion occurred, and the impact was so strong that color drained from the faces of every Awakened nearby.

The terracotta soldiers before the Five Supremes crumbled to pieces at once. They couldn’t even reassemble themselves as the tempest shredded them into pieces at each attempt.

Now, they were only a kilometer away from the Mausoleum; the Five Supremes combined attacks had obliterated at least a thousand terracotta soldiers.

”Wow!”

”Amazing!”

”The Five Supremes truly are at the apex!”

The crowd howled at the sight. They were truly too formidable; their abilities were beyond the realm of humanity. Thousands of terracotta soldiers were obliterated at once when it was considered an extraordinary feat if an average Awakened could kill five.

The combined attacks of the Five Supremes shocked everyone, and their gazes full of reverence, fear, and many other emotions landed on the Five Supremes.

Meanwhile, the Five Supremes stood calmly amidst the gazes; clearly, they enjoyed the attention.

”They really are strong,” Zhu Qingyu muttered, marveling at the sight.

The obliterated terracotta soldiers would surely be replaced by more terracotta soldiers, but the brief gap in time before that was enough for the Five Supremes to plan their next move on how they would reach the Mausoleum’s gateway.

”Indeed, they are extremely talented as well,” Dean Zheng said. Though he knew certain secrets, he had to admire the Five Supreme’s talents. Their level of strength at the beginning of the Global Awakening meant that they were absolutely terrifying figures.

Unfortunately, only the Northern Emperor belonged to Aurora Academy.

Zhu Qingyu was silent upon hearing Dean Zheng’s remark. Then, for some reason, she was reminded of someone and turned to find him. It was a casual glance at first, but her heart trembled slightly upon seeing that he... had made a move!
