Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

”Could it be that he is confident he can break into the Great Sage Realm?”

All of a sudden, this thought appeared in Jiang Ningxian’s mind.

She knew that some of the Outer Cosmos races had not yet descended to Earth. They were all observing the situation from beyond the planet.

Among them were many Great Sage-level existences who would be suppressed by the power of Separation of Heaven and Earth.

But if Lu Yuan truly angered those figures, they likely would not care about the restrictions anymore.

Back then, the three Sage Realm experts led by the Celestials had descended directly before the conditions were mature because they knew Lu Yuan was a threat and wanted to eliminate him. Something like that could very well happen again.

The reason those Great Sages did not descend was only because they still felt the situation was under control. But if every person who had come to Mount Tai died here, then things would be completely different. Those Great Sages beyond the planet would absolutely not tolerate it.

After all, many of those here now were core figures of their respective races, such as the Ji Clan and Yu Xiong of the Eternal Race.

If something happened to these people, those above would definitely think of every possible way to send someone down.

In that case, if Lu Yuan were still only in the Lesser Sage Realm, he would certainly be unable to resolve this trouble.

The only explanation Jiang Ningxian could think of now was that he already possessed the strength to break into the Great Sage Realm.

”The Great Sage Realm? So soon?” Beside her, Jiang Haokong was immediately shocked after hearing his sister’s words.

He looked up at Lu Yuan in disbelief, unable to understand just how powerful this man’s talent for cultivation and evolution truly was.

He actually had a chance of breaking into the Great Sage Realm this quickly?

For a moment, Jiang Haokong thought of himself. It was not that he lacked the strength or foundation.

Rather, Lu Yuan’s cultivation time had truly been far too short. Even with the advantage of this world’s awakening, that should not have been possible.

Cackle.

Pfft!

Along with another thunderous explosion, the void trembled, and bolts of lightning descended one after another.

A terrifying aura filled the air. At the same time, figures fell into the mountains one by one, their auras completely gone.

Lu Yuan was simply too powerful. Especially after manifesting the Heaven-Earth Furnace, he was like a battle immortal. Anyone even slightly weaker was killed by him in a single strike.

Within a short period of time, several Lesser Sages had fallen, including a Ranker from the Celestials.

His strength, even among his peers across the entire cosmos, was incomparably terrifying.

Even the members of the Ji Clan were being forced back again and again.

”This cannot continue. We might all die.”

After seeing this, Yu Xiong felt even more fear than before, because he had never imagined such a situation would occur.

Then, as Lu Yuan threw out another punch, a member of the Ji Clan failed to withstand it. His body shattered, and blood scattered across the sky.

Because their numbers were shrinking, the pressure each of them had to bear grew even greater. To those Outer Cosmos beings, Lu Yuan felt like an invincible god of war.

No one could last against him.

”How? How is this possible? How can he be this strong?” Zhou Yunqiong, who was on the battlefield as well, was completely shaken.

Back then, Lu Yuan had only been an ordinary person before her. The gap between them had been as vast as it could possibly be.

Later, after the Global Awakening, even though he had already displayed powerful strength, she still had not taken him seriously. She had believed that he had merely been lucky, until everything that happened afterward, and until she was killed.

Even then, Zhou Yunqiong had only felt that Lu Yuan was slightly worth paying attention to. After all, she still had the Ji Clan behind her.

That was a true great clan ranked among the top ten across the entire starry cosmos, and was powerful beyond measure.

But now?

Lu Yuan had displayed terrifying strength. He had surpassed ordinary Rankers and become powerful to the extreme. He had also allied himself with the Jiang Clan. That meant everything she had done before had been wrong.

The more Zhou Yunqiong thought about it, the more panicked she became. If she had accepted his pursuit back at school, what would have happened then?

Before she realized it, the fear in her heart had already been replaced by regret.

The next moment, Lu Yuan attacked again, opening his palm.

Ancient temples rose from the ground one after another, and waves of Sanskrit chants appeared, spreading into everyone’s ears.

The supreme divine art of Buddhism, Buddha’s Palm Domain.

At that moment, everyone was restrained, unable to escape at all.

Behind Lu Yuan, grotto-heavens appeared one after another, while the Heaven-Earth Furnace above his head rumbled even more violently, as if the heavens themselves were enraged.

Boom!

The world of Buddha’s Palm Domain shattered.

All the Sages present lost every trace of their aura. Even the Lesser Sages suffered enormous injuries.

Among them, Yu Xiong, the strongest of them all, was covered in blood. As for the members of the Ji Clan, they died outright.

Of all the Outer Cosmos beings present, aside from those Lu Yuan had not attacked, meaning those below the Sage Realm, only a few were left alive.

Zhou Yunqiong was among them because she possessed a powerful treasure, so she managed to block the damage.

Even so, she had suffered extremely severe injuries. Her aura was in utter disorder.

As for the few remaining survivors, their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at everything around them.

So many of them had joined forces, yet they still were not his match...

However, Lu Yuan paid no attention to their reactions at all. He stepped forward one step at a time, and the killing intent he revealed did not weaken in the slightest.

”Do you truly intend to make an enemy of the entire cosmos? Do you truly think you can continue like this forever? There are countless powerful beings in the Outer Cosmos. You should stop here.”

After sensing that killing intent, Yu Xiong completely panicked. He was a member of the Eternal Race, and a Ranker at that. Although he was terrified, his pride kept him from begging for mercy.

Instead, he warned Lu Yuan of the consequences of killing him.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan had no intention of wasting words with him.

He walked up to Yu Xiong, looked down at him from above, then brought his fist down.

Yu Xiong’s body exploded, and his aura vanished completely.

A Ranker of the Eternal Race died just like that, without causing even the slightest ripple.

A bone-deep chill went down the spines of the few remaining people nearby and they trembled uncontrollably.

One had to know that cultivating to the Lesser Sage Realm had taken them immense time and effort.

It was the result of all their hard work. Yet now, they were so fragile.

However, Lu Yuan walked right past them and arrived before Zhou Yunqiong.

”Lu... Lu Yuan, do you really intend to kill me?” Zhou Yunqiong could not stop herself from trembling. She seemed unable to believe it and continued, ”We were classmates once. We both come from this world.”

Her arrogance was gone now, because it had been completely shattered.

All she wanted now was to survive.

After all, the Death-Exemption Talisman could only be used once. If she died, then everything would really be gone.

But Lu Yuan seemed completely unmoved. The vital qi inside his body began to rumble directly.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked in a certain direction in the distance.

Rumble!

In an instant, an extremely powerful force surged out, carrying vast and majestic might.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan moved to block it.

However, this force was indeed powerful enough and had already surpassed the Lesser Sage level.

It was a Great Sage!
