Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 206. The Immortal’s Treasure, Greed, Heaven-Earth Sword!

Clouds of blood mist billowed and spread out in the skies.

The Void Sage of the Three-Headed Ghost Race failed to dodge in time. Struck head-on, he exploded on the spot, his life extinguished in an instant without a moment to spare.

Everything happened so quickly and abruptly that no one had time to react.

Lu Yuan hovered proudly in midair, his entire frame shrouded in golden vital qi as immense waves of aura surged outward.

The Void Sage that had been in front of him just moments ago was now deader than dead.

Under that single strike, there had been no room for resistance. Even with a formidable physique, he could hardly endure a fraction of the power of the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

Even Lu Yuan himself was surprised by the sheer might of the seal.

A distance away, Lei You and the Void Sage of the Primeval Daemon Race stared at the Heaven‑Flipping Seal hovering like a small mountain. Their faces were painted with evident shock.

”How is this possible? What is that thing? How could it be so powerful?” Lei You exclaimed, his voice thick with disbelief.

Only those who had reached the Sage Realm could truly understand the might of a Sage.

Even if they couldn’t unleash their full potential, their physical bodies had not been affected by the Separation of Heaven and Earth when they descended.

In other words, to destroy a Sage’s physical body would require either relentless assaults from an opponent of the same realm or stacking multiple powerful techniques.

But now, a Sage had been obliterated in a single strike.

Lei You was clear that this had to be the seal’s power.

”That brat had entered Immortal Guang Chengzi’s Dao ground previously. That thing... could it be the legendary Heaven‑Flipping Seal?”

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the Primeval Daemon Void Sage voiced the thought that had suddenly surfaced in his mind.

A violent shudder coursed through Lei You. His gaze toward the Heaven‑Flipping Seal shifted. The caution in his eyes gave way to naked desire and unrestrained greed.

The Heaven‑Flipping Seal was a legendary weapon that was renowned even across the starfields in deep space.

Its fearsome power was likewise documented in the ancient records of the Celestial Race.

It was said that Guang Chengzi once wielded the Heaven-Flipping Seal to slay countless foes and his formidable reputation resounded through the ages.

Yet as time flowed on and the Milky Way Starfield fell from the path of evolution, those once‑glorious legends gradually dimmed, reduced to myths and bedtime tales told to later generations.

Never had Lei You imagined that he would one day come face to face with what seemed to be the legendary seal itself.

If he could seize it...

On the opposite end, Lu Yuan naturally discerned the greed growing in their hearts.

He let out a soft chuckle, and with a single thought, the Heaven-Flipping Seal instantly shrank in size and disappeared from sight.

However, his movements didn’t cease there.

He took a step forward.

Boom!

A vast aura erupted from his body and surged out in all directions.

The battle was far from over. He had only slain one foe.

This is bad!

Lei You’s expression was tainted with alarm as soon as he felt the overwhelming pressure.

But this time, he did not retreat. Instead, he spoke in a grim tone, ”Chong Ye, this man has a great boon in his possession. Perhaps, even more hidden trump cards. If we continue to hold back, we may fall here as well. Why not we go all in, pay a minor price and kill him outright?

”Then, we will divide his fortune equally. What do you say?”

Though the Kongtong Mountains was not the sole Dao ground of Guang Chengzi, it was without doubt that the Immortal had left a significant number of legacies within.

Previously, they had no opportunity to grab those fortunes. But now that it lay bare within sight, naturally, they wouldn’t let the chance slip by.

”Alright!”

The Void Sage of the Primeval Daemon Race gave a firm nod.

No one could remain unmoved before an Immortal’s legacy. Even Sages were no exception.

He was also clear that this man before them, this Lu Yuan, was too powerful. To slay him, they would need to go all out.

Primeval Daemon Chong Ye spread his arms wide. Wisps of black mist erupted from him and coalesced to form an armor enveloping him. The oppressive might emanating from Chong Ye surged even stronger than before. There were even traces of aura belonging to one at a Sage Realm.

Lei You was no different. The arcs of lightning crackling around him flickered like wild dragons as they fully engulfed him.

At this moment, both of them had unveiled a sliver of their Sage Realm power; they were determined to slay Lu Yuan in a single, decisive strike.

Rumble!

The heavens quaked as runes shimmered into existence.

The Separation of Heaven and Earth had come into effect upon sensing the aura of the Sages. It was preparing to make a move to suppress the two Sages.

After all, at the current phase, beings of the Sage Realm were still forbidden from treading upon Earth’s soil.

Yet, such divine tribulation required time to prepare.

Lei You and Chong Ye were exploiting this narrow window to strike.

Boom!

They unleashed their power in full, and without hesitation, charged straight at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan had already foreseen this, and did not flinch.

Twenty-eight grotto-heavens surged into manifestation once again. With his strength amplified by twenty-eightfold, the Great Sun’s Furnace behind him rumbled, its brilliance reaching a fever pitch.

His organs trembled in resonance; his qi and blood surged like an unchained tide.

Lu Yuan then took a step forward in mid air.

The very next moment, the three collided head-on.

Instantly, a blinding light erupted across the sky as if a second sun had descended upon the world.

All three of them had channeled the full potential of their present abilities.

Thunder roared. Black mist swirled. Divine arts collided in a catastrophic storm.

The battle swept from the heavens to the earth below, every blow obliterating the landscape around them. In particular, the might of the Great Sun’s Furnace had even completely evaporated a nearby lake.

”Descent of the Thunder God!” Lei You seized an opening and once again, invoked the divine art of the Celestials.

But this time, it was laced with traces of Sage power and was more destructive than before.

Meanwhile, the Void Sage of the Primeval Daemon Race gathered the black mist around him and condensed it into a massive obsidian blade before cleaving downward.

Both Sages had disregarded the price and willingly risked invoking the backlash of unleashing their Sage Realm foundation. They believed that no Venerable King could possibly withstand their might.

Indeed, Lu Yuan felt the overwhelming pressure descending upon him. But he had already braced himself for this moment.

Facing both foes, Lu Yuan’s expression turned grave.

Lei You is the strongest among the three. Killing him in one strike will be tough. I should take down—

Lu Yuan’s gaze shifted.

—The Primeval Daemon Void Sage first.

His logic was simple: eliminate one, and less pressure. Take down the easier opponent first to ensure that the battle situation was still within his control.

Upon making his decision, Lu Yuan’s thoughts sharpened like a blade.

In terms of offensive power and element of surprise...

A light bulb lit up in Lu Yuan’s mind. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, his organs resonating in unison.

He invoked the Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique and hurled himself straight into the raging storm of thunder and lightning. Relying on nothing but sheer will and brute force, he forced his way through Lei You’s divine art and charged directly at the Primeval Daemon Void Sage.

”Chong Ye, watch out. He might use the Heaven-Flipping Seal again!” Lei You’s voice boomed with alarm.

”I’m already prepared. Don’t worry.”

Chong Ye, the Void Sage of the Primeval Daemon Race, let out a low chuckle before pulling back at high speed.

He knew with absolute certainty that even his formidable physique couldn’t endure a direct strike from the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

But as long as he exited the area of threat, he would be safe.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At that very moment, the crisp, clear sound of a sword cry rang out.

Immediately following which, a crushing wave of sword intent surged forth from all directions.

The two Sages instinctively turned to look and saw that a black sword embryo had appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand at some point.

Without warning, Lu Yuan raised the sword and, in the next breath, swung it down in a sweeping arc toward Chong Ye.

It was as though the world itself resonated to his call. Every wisp of sword qi in the region trembled and shot toward the Primeval Daemon Void Sage.

There was no place to hide. Neither was there a way to block nor a path to flee.

This was the supreme sword art of the Ancient Mount Shu—a technique that commanded heaven and earth.

Heaven-Earth Sword!
