Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Lu Yuan had been preparing for a long time now. That was why he was able to face the Ji Clan calmly after their descent.

Even as he spoke, his voice was light, as though he was stating how fine the weather was. Yet, his words were laced with matchless confidence and invincible conviction.

Back then, the projection of the Ji Clan’s Holy Son could be considered comparable to someone who had just entered the Immortal Realm.

In the same realm, Lu Yuan had won. Now, he had also broken through to the Immortal Realm. On top of that, he had already fully adapted to his new power.

So what if the true body of the Ji Clan’s Holy Son had descended?

If he wanted a battle, Lu Yuan would gladly oblige. At the same time, Lu Yuan possessed absolute confidence that if they were to clash, he would certainly win.

This was the conviction of invincibility.

In the sky above, the Holy Son of the Ji Clan seemed to have been enraged by those words.

Indeed, ever since he was born, he first experienced defeat in Lu Yuan’s hands. It was also the first ever time that he had lost to someone of the same generation, of the same realm.

The Holy Son of the Ji Clan could not tolerate it at all. Now that his defeat had been stated loudly before everyone, he was naturally angered.

However, he was ultimately a supreme genius. He would not lose control over a sentence or two. At once, he took a deep breath, then looked toward Lu Yuan and continued, ”I know you are very strong. You are also the most powerful opponent I have ever encountered.

”But I did not come here to fight you alone. I came just for one thing—to kill you!”

The Holy Son of the Ji Clan was furious, but he did not want any unexpected complications to occur in his plan. Compared to dignity, killing off Lu Yuan once and for all was more important.

After all, everything would be gone once a person was dead. Moreover, it would also remove a future threat for his clan.

At a time like this, he naturally would not choose to act rashly. He could still distinguish what mattered more.

”Not bad. For you to break into the Immortal Realm in such a short time, you are indeed worthy of being called a supreme genius. Unfortunately, you refused to be used by my Ji Clan, and insist on opposing us. In that case, we cannot allow you to live,” the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor spoke. His strength surpassed that of the Holy Son, and he had already reached the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm.

That was the second minor realm of the Immortal Realm. Across the entire universe, no one would dare belittle such an existence.

It was precisely because the Ji Clan feared Lu Yuan would become a calamity that they had specially sent such a powerful figure. This Ji Clan Third Ancestor had also come to kill Lu Yuan.

His words were extremely blunt. After all, in his eyes, Lu Yuan was already a dead man.

”The Ji Clan is truly overbearing. As long as someone cannot be used by you or refuses to obey you, you kill them? What sort of reasoning is that?” Jiang Ningxian retorted, her words carrying a note of mockery.

If it had been an ordinary person, they certainly would not have dared to speak like this. After hearing it, the Ji Clan would also have attacked at once.

However, when they saw that it was Jiang Ningxian, even the Holy Son of the Ji Clan himself said nothing.

As for the Third Ancestor, a smile even appeared on his face.

”So it is Niece Ningxian. My Ji Clan is naturally not so overbearing. However, there are some people who overestimate themselves and seek to challenge authority. In such cases, there is nothing that can be done.”

He spoke as though he was exceedingly polite, but as for whether it was surface pleasantries or heartfelt sincerity, most of those present could discern for sure.

His response was merely because of Jiang Ningxian’s identity. She was not only a Saintess, but also the daughter of the Jiang Clan’s patriarch. Even the Ji Clan had to show courtesy.

”But no matter how you look at it, this is a matter between juniors. Why is a half-buried old man like you barging in to join the fun?” Jiang Haokong spoke as well. Completely unlike his sister in his courtesy, he had basically voiced his true thoughts as they were.

After all, he was not afraid of offending the so-called Ji Clan. His confidence stemmed from his own strength, and, of course, from the clan behind him.

”Holy Son of the Jiang Clan, what you say is true. However, this person already threatens my entire Ji Clan. The matter is of great importance, so I had no choice but to come.” The Third Ancestor remained very polite, but his words had turned somewhat icy. After all, no one would be happy to be called half-buried, especially when it happened to be a fact.

”So you are saying that you get to decide what is right or wrong?” Jiang Haokong shook his head and asked. ”Then if I feel that your existence is a threat to me, can I have my father personally take action?”

The patriarch of the Jiang Clan was one of the greatest powerhouses beneath the entire starry cosmos. He was a true titan in every sense of the word.

Therefore, at Jiang Haokong’s words, the expressions of some of the Ji Clan’s members shifted.

If the patriarch of the Jiang Clan descended, things would truly spiral out of control.

”You are simply being unreasonable!”

The Holy Son of the Ji Clan roared. ”This is a grudge between my Ji Clan and Lu Yuan. It has nothing to do with your Jiang Clan. We do not wish to become enemies with you, so I hope you will not interfere. Otherwise, my Ji Clan does not fear your Jiang Clan either!”

He did not want to keep wasting time. Delay could bring unexpected changes. Who knew what might happen afterward? It was better to act as soon as possible.

”You two should step aside as well. I have proper business to attend to.”

The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor shared the same thought and did not wish to waste words. At once, he fixed his gaze on Lu Yuan and directly took a step forward. ”Today, everything ends.”

As soon as the last syllable left his lips, strands of terrifying aura descended from his body without the slightest reservation.

In an instant, mountains and rivers shook, and the firmament seemed as though it would be torn apart.

Fortunately, the place below them was Mount Tai. Otherwise, that pressure alone might have been enough to shatter all the surrounding mountains and rivers.

At the same time, the Holy Son of the Ji Clan said nothing more and stood at the side.

In order to accomplish their objective this time, so what if they joined forces?

As for Lu Yuan, he was the same as before; he held naught the slightest fear in his heart. Facing the two great experts, he knew that he would have to reveal his true trump card this time.

Even if he was not certain of its usage, it would be enough even if it could only be used once or twice.

”Wait!” Jiang Ningxian walked to the side and shook her head. ”You have done a great deal already. That is enough. Now, it is time for us, as your partners, to act. You only need to watch from the side.”

Back when the two of them had first spoken, the cooperation between the Celestial Court and the Jiang Clan had been equal.

In this regard, the Jiang Clan had essentially done nothing up till now. But they could not possibly let one person shoulder everything.

Therefore, she and Jiang Haokong directly stood in front of Lu Yuan.

”You two, I have already said that this is a grudge between my Ji Clan and this man. If you insist on acting willfully, then do not blame us for being impolite.” The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor had grown somewhat angry as well.

His mission this time was to kill Lu Yuan. Now that someone was standing in the way, he naturally could not tolerate it. The aura radiating from his body became even more violent than before.

His intent was to make the Jiang siblings retreat in the face of difficulty. After all, under the current circumstances, the Ji Clan was not very willing to directly make enemies out of the Jiang Clan.

At this very moment, another voice rang out from the firmament.

”Such arrogance. You actually want to lay hands on my family’s Holy Son and Saintess? Very well, try it.”
