Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 317. Strange Beyond Measure, Everyone Joins Forces, Preparing to Make Trouble?

Yes.

It was a coffin.

Lu Yuan could see it clearly.

After entering this final region, everything else appeared normal enough. Only that blood-red coffin looked amiss no matter how one viewed it.

Especially since he could also sense that the strange aura from earlier seemed to originate from within it.

Was this not supposed to be a land of fortune, a mythical secret realm? Why would there be a coffin here?

At this moment, Lu Yuan’s heart was filled with doubt, yet he had no answer.

After all, this was also his first time entering this place. His understanding of the Immortal’s Cave was based on little more than hearsay from his previous life.

He only knew that fortune existed here and that a certain divine item would appear in this place. But as for what it actually was, he had no idea. So if he wanted to find out what was truly going on, he had to go and see for himself.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not a reckless person, and he did not act immediately. He simply opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes and observed the coffin.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing. The coffin was shrouded by some special force, making it impossible to discern anything at all.

”What is going on? How can there be a coffin in this final land of fortune?”

”Wasn’t this supposed to be a place of great fortune? What is that coffin doing there? It looks rather strange.”

”Could it be that the greatest inheritance and fortune lie within it?”

At this moment, those beings from the Outer Cosmos had also entered. Their cultivation levels were at least at the Venerable King Realm, though many of them were already in the Sage Realm, as they believed only beings of that realm were qualified to enter.

After all, nearly everyone understood the same principle: opportunity and danger existed side by side. Without sufficient strength, how could one possibly possess the means to seize opportunity?

Even so, the moment they saw that blood-red coffin, every one of them froze.

They did not understand what was happening. This place did not feel like a land of fortune at all. It felt more like some kind of burial ground.

It was deeply strange.

”What exactly is going on? We’ll know if we test it, won’t we?” Yu Heng of the Eternals said.

He glanced at Lu Yuan not far away, a trace of wariness appearing in his eyes, but he still judged the matter at hand to be more important. So he suppressed all other thoughts and continued, ”Stand back. Let me see what exactly is going on.”

With that, Yu Heng took a step forward. The divine halo behind his head radiated layers of light.

In an instant, a Chain of Divine Judgment appeared. Then it shot toward the blood-red coffin on the distant platform.

Clang!

The very moment the two made contact, a metallic ringing echoed out.

And almost immediately, everyone saw that the Chain of Divine Judgment vanished directly, as if it had never existed at all.

”This... ”

When Yu Heng saw this, shock immediately appeared in his eyes. He had never encountered anything like this before. One of his skills had simply disappeared just like that and he had no idea how it had happened.

”Did you discover anything?” Lei Xiao asked. There was even a trace of politeness in his tone, because Yu Heng was from the Eternals.

The Eternals stood on equal footing with the Ji Clan. The Celestials absolutely could not afford to offend them.

Yu Heng very quickly steadied himself again and said, ”There is great danger here. If we wish to pass through safely, I fear it will require no small effort.”

A smile then appeared on his face as he looked at everyone present and suggested, ”I propose that all of us temporarily set aside our grudges and join forces to first determine what exactly that blood-red coffin is. What do you think?”

”Of course. We all came here for fortune, and I agree that we really should join forces.” Lei Xiao agreed at once.

As he stared at the blood-red coffin, he too felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

If they wanted to learn what it truly was, they would have to draw closer. But who could guarantee there would be no danger in the process?

It would be better to join forces first, and then choose a few cannon fodder.

So now, after saying those words, Lei Xiao swept his gaze over the crowd.

At the same time, Yu Heng also looked toward everyone present.

The Celestials and the Eternals were the two strongest races to have descended upon Earth so far. And the Eternals, in particular, were famed throughout the universe.

Although Yu Heng had fought Lu Yuan outside earlier and failed to gain any advantage, his combat strength had still shocked many.

After all, everyone present knew very well that the human Lu Yuan was incredibly powerful. Every time he acted, it was enough to shake the heart.

And yet, under such circumstances, a member of the Eternals had been able to battle him and survive, having merely fallen into a disadvantage.

Those Outer Cosmos beings were finally beginning to truly understand the weight carried by the word ”Eternals.” After all, the truly strongest members of that race had not yet even fully descended.

And so, very quickly, the crowd also agreed to this temporary alliance.

A land of fortune had suddenly produced such a coffin. Anyone would feel uneasy.

”Now then, we have all agreed to join forces temporarily. I only fear that there may still be someone who disdains such an arrangement.”

After seeing that everyone present had agreed, Yu Heng turned his head and directed his gaze toward Lu Yuan, his expression somewhat unfriendly.

He was indeed wary of the man before him, but that did not mean he was afraid. And with this sentence, his intent was obvious; he wanted to make Lu Yuan the target of everyone present.

Those who had entered this final region were all beings from the Outer Cosmos. Although they each had their own grudges and suspicions toward one another, there was no doubt that if they were only facing the human Lu Yuan, they would naturally stand together.

Sure enough, the moment those words left Yu Heng’s mouth, all the Outer Cosmos beings turned their eyes toward Lu Yuan.

This final region held the greatest inheritance and fortune. Most of those who had descended had done so for exactly that.

Moreover, over this recent period, Lu Yuan had placed far too much pressure on them. If there were a chance to eliminate him, they naturally would not hesitate.

And at this point, everyone had joined forces. Moreover, Yu Heng of the Eternals had personally taken the lead. Without a word, the others also began standing together.

One had to know that among those present, there were already over a hundred Void Sages and every single one of them was powerful.

Added to that were the Celestials and the Eternals, whose very bloodlines and talents were terrifyingly strong.

If all of them truly joined forces, then even against a Great Sage, they would have nothing to fear.

Now, they faced only a single human—Lu Yuan.

Some among them quickly weighed the matter. The odds seemed to tip greatly in their favor. Those who realized this all cast their gazes over.

”I know perfectly well what you are all thinking. If you want to make a move, then by all means, do so.”

At this moment, Lu Yuan also noticed the movement among them. But he did not place any of it in his heart. His expression remained calm. He had already faced more dangerous situations than this before. So for him, the current situation was nothing much at all.

In truth, Lu Yuan had always understood very clearly that some great battles could never be avoided.

Those beings from the Outer Cosmos had been suppressed by him for quite a long period now. Deep within their hearts, resentment had long been building. They had wanted a battle for some time.

As such, Lu Yuan was never particularly surprised by this. It simply happened to be a good opportunity for him to fight once more.

It was just more than a hundred Outer Cosmos Sages.

At worst...

he would slaughter them all in one go!
