Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Some of the invaders grew puzzled at the disappearance of the three.

”Where did they go?”

”They’re not fighting in outer space, are they?”

”No way. The two Holy Sons went through all that trouble to descend so they could kill Lu Yuan down here.”

”Exactly. Lu Yuan has the advantage here in the form of that so-called Separation of Heaven and Earth. If he goes to outer space, he’ll be seeking his own death.”

They deduced that the battlefield could have been moved to outer space, as those three were just too powerful to fight here. However, the idea was quickly dismissed. Lu Yuan had a huge advantage on this planet.

If he were to leave, he would face the two Holy Sons at their full strength. There would be no way for him to win by then.

A particularly powerful onlooker sensed some distant energy fluctuations and pointed. ”They’re in that direction. They’re five thousand kilometers away from Mount Tai.”

The others extended their divine sense and confirmed it, then turned their attention that way. In a single instant, the battle had moved five thousand kilometers away, but this was common in battles between formidable combatants.

Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong instantly saw through their movement and had been watching them all along. For the two of them, five thousand kilometers was but a stone’s throw away.

Naturally, such a vast distance was nothing for Lu Yuan and the two Holy Sons.

”Saintess, Holy Son, I’m detecting multiple auras sweeping across Mount Tai. It seems they’re about to move,” said a Jiang Clan elder. He was at the Great Sage Realm and had been monitoring the surroundings the entire time.

”If any of them dare to move, show them no mercy,” Jiang Haokong said decisively. What he despised most were opportunists who kicked others while they were down. It did not matter which clan or starfield they came from. If they were to make a move, they would die here. That was their promise to Lu Yuan.

Boom!

A thunderous roar reverberated following a cataclysmic explosion. The resulting chaos was cataclysmic indeed as mountains crumbled, the earth was torn open, and an entire river boiled dry in an instant.

The terrain of the entire region was transformed, and it was like thousands of meteorites had slammed into the surface of the Earth, making the region look like it was the aftermath of an extinction event.

Yet the truth was that the destruction was caused by merely three people fighting each other. High above, three figures wove in and out of each other’s paths.

The Holy Son of the Eternals seemed to be the personification of the sun itself, thanks to the shining divine halo behind his head. He looked like a god king who had descended upon the mortal world.

Meanwhile, the Holy Son of the Ji Clan was wreathed in wisps of indescribable energy. His entire being radiated the presence of a sovereign ruling over the universe, as he seemed capable of annihilating all things.

Together, their movements shook the firmament itself and sent cracks splintering across it. It appeared as though space itself was on the verge of destruction as the three fought in midair.

Fortunately, they were in the heart of the Milky Way Starfield, where there was a mysterious power that instantly repaired the fractured space.

Lu Yuan did not retreat. As he threw punch after punch, grotto-heavens incessantly materialized behind him, augmenting his strength.

The two Holy Sons appeared to be at the Great Sage Realm, but the strength they displayed was definitely not at the Great Sage Realm. He had to use the Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique, or he would be suppressed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan could be considered invincible against those on the same stage of evolution as him, and he could even fight against those on a higher stage of evolution than him, but the two Holy Sons could do the same.

Indeed, this was the greatest battle he had ever fought since he embarked on the path of evolution. Even with the Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique, he struggled to gain the upper hand. If anything, he was being pushed back.

Instead of being discouraged, however, Lu Yuan’s fighting spirit soared. For as long as he could remember, he had crushed every opponent he faced so far. He had never once been forced to unleash his full strength.

Now, he finally had the chance to do so, and there was not a shred of fear in his heart. At this very moment, Lu Yuan had nothing in mind but the will to fight.

Boom!

A thunderous boom echoed as Lu Yuan swung his fist, decimating over a hundred mountains and hills down below.

The two Holy Sons revealed solemn faces at the sight.

”Lu Yuan, your strength has exceeded our expectations, but if this is all you have, then you are surely going to die today,” the Holy Son of the Eternals remarked. He acknowledged Lu Yuan’s power, but in his heart, he remained unconcerned.

He had yet to go all-out, after all. Of course, the stronger Lu Yuan was, the more necessary it was to ensure that the man would not survive to see another day.

”Why even bother talking to him? Let’s just kill him.” The Holy Son of the Ji Clan was far less talkative. A mysterious light flowed throughout him, and his aura changed completely. As devastating power seeped out of him, the world seemed to go dim. This was the power of an Immortal. They could make the world go dim.

The Holy Son of the Eternals moved at the same time. The divine halo behind his head merged completely with him. Now, the two were finally going all-out, and they decisively attacked at once.

BOOM!

A single, devastating explosion tore through the firmament as time itself seemed to freeze. Amidst all this, Lu Yuan’s figure seemed frozen in place as well as the combined attack of the two Holy Sons flew toward him.

Swosh!

The Heaven-Earth Furnace materialized, attempting to shield him.

Thoom!

A deep, muffled sound echoed, shaking the world. Lu Yuan was blasted away, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. This was the first time he was wounded in battle.

The two Holy Sons were just too powerful, and the power they had unleashed was on the same level as an Immortal’s. Lu Yuan had played his trump cards, blocking most of the damage, but he still ended up getting wounded.

Many noticed Lu Yuan’s injuries, Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong included. It was the first time they had ever seen him injured, and the sight shook them in ways they could not conceal.

”He’s no match for them?” Jiang Ningxian frowned deeply. She wanted to intervene, but her trust in Lu Yuan ended up winning out, as she ultimately stopped herself from making a move.

”So Lu Yuan really can’t defeat them.”

”I mean, we’re talking about two Holy Sons here. What can he even do?”

”I guess Lu Yuan will no longer be around soon.”

Those from the Outer Cosmos broke into smiles at the sight. Lu Yuan had been pressing down on all of them like a mountain. Today, the mountain was finally about to be conquered.

Indeed, the two Holy Sons were far too strong for Lu Yuan to defeat.

Just as they were about to celebrate, their faces changed. In the middle of the battlefield, a figure radiating a fighting spirit soaring so high it bordered on insanity appeared within their line of sight.

Lu Yuan walked slowly toward the two Holy Sons. There were bloodstains on his robes, but something about him had changed. For some reason, he seemed to have become an entirely different person.

”Hahaha! This fight is just the best! I’ve never had a fight this exciting! Come at me! Let’s do it again!” Lu Yuan roared in exhilaration. Golden vital qi swirled around him, making him look like an immortal slayer.

Before his words could finish echoing in the air, he launched himself straight at the two Holy Sons. He had not made any breakthrough whatsoever, but his comportment had changed drastically in the blink of an eye.

The invaders from the Outer Cosmos stared at one another in disbelief. Just who was this Lu Yuan? How come he could still fight?

Jiang Ningxian’s eyes lit up, and she murmured to herself, ”Could he really reach the Immortal Realm in this battle?”
