Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Atop Jade Emperor Peak on Mount Tai, almost all the members of the Celestial Court had gathered.

Those powerful beast kings were present as well.

These Earthlings, whether human or mutated beast, all stood firmly behind Lu Yuan. Even if two of the top ten clans in the entire universe—Eternals and the Ji Clan—stood in the firmament, no one showed the slightest fear.

Ever since the Global Awakening, they had experienced many things and faced all kinds of calamities, but in the end, they had survived them all. All of this had been brought about by King Lu. So now, everyone present, without exception, chose to stand together, even if death might await them afterward.

But so what? If something happened to King Lu, no one present would be spared either.

The Celestial Court simply had not said anything or sought help from anyone while facing such a great calamity. Otherwise, any living being on Earth likely would not have hesitated. They would all have come to Mount Tai.

Lu Yuan’s prestige was truly unmatched now. He was respected by everyone. Thus, no one present had the slightest doubt about what he had just said.

Even against two transcendent great forces, so what?

Only battle awaited.

”Good! You have courage.”

The Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor’s gaze changed. It was no longer as cold as before.

Killing intent surged from his body, rippling out layer upon layer. Clearly, he no longer had any intention of delaying. He directly took a step forward.

Beside him, the old man of the Eternals immediately followed. Both of them were Grotto-Heaven Immortals, and their strength was incomparably powerful. Wherever they went, they belonged among the very top group of existences.

Now, against someone who had only recently entered the Immortal Realm, they had directly chosen to join forces. They wanted to ensure absolute success. Of course, they had another thought as well.

They wanted to take Mount Tai for themselves.

”You two can be considered elders. If you personally act against a junior, it is rather dishonorable, is it not? I will be your opponent!” Jiang Huanyun appeared.

His aura trembled outward, directly confronting the two great experts. There was even a smile in his eyes.

Although the three of them were in the same realm, there were still differences in battle prowess. Jiang Huanyun did not fear the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor or the old man from the Eternals.

”Then let us see how long you can hold out.”

When the two heard Jiang Huanyun’s words, they were not surprised at all.

They knew he would stand in front of the Celestial Court. Thus, if they wanted to kill Lu Yuan, they had to temporarily deal with the person before them.

Of course, they did not need to kill him. They only needed to tie him down so he could not look after anything else. The rest would be left to others.

Thus, in the next moment, the Ji Clan’s Third Ancestor gave their clan’s Holy Son a look. Then he stepped forward and disappeared.

At the same time, the old man of the Eternals did not hesitate either and disappeared as well.

Jiang Huanyun did not hesitate. He transformed into a streak of light, though no one knew where he went.

All three were Grotto-Heaven Immortals. Their strength was truly too great, and every movement they made could affect too wide an area. Thus, under the circumstances, their battlefield naturally could not be placed on Mount Tai.

However, even though the three Immortals had left, there were still many Immortal Realm existences present. They were led by the Holy Son of the Ji Clan and the Holy Son of the Eternals, and they did not hesitate at all.

Facing Lu Yuan, they said in unison, ”Today is the day you die.”

As soon as the last word left their lips, powerful auras emanated from both of them.

This time, they were no mere projections. Their true bodies had descended, and the power they displayed was terrifying beyond comparison. The moment they acted, they made the firmament tremble.

Moreover, behind the two of them, the experts of both clans watched like predators as they released their power.

”Leave these two Holy Sons to me. Keep an eye on the others.” Seeing this, Lu Yuan instructed Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong.

He wanted to face the two Holy Sons alone. This was the only way. Although the Celestial Court had the Jiang Clan’s help, its foundation was still too weak in the end.

The two clans’ Immortals together numbered over ten. Lu Yuan would handle the two most troublesome ones. As for Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong, as top prodigies of the entire universe, dealing with the others would be completely within their ability.

Besides, he was also very clear in his heart that aside from targeting him, the two clans would not deal fatal blows to the Jiang Clan. After all, Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong had extraordinary status. If anything happened to them, the Jiang Clan would certainly disregard everything and retaliate.

This was not something the Ji Clan and the Eternals wanted to see. In doing this, he also ensured the two would not face any danger to their lives.

After making these arrangements, Lu Yuan did not linger. He flashed forward directly.

In the next instant, he appeared before the two Holy Sons. The golden vital qi around him erupted completely, and he said, ”Last time, I destroyed your projections. Today, the result will be no different.”

As his words fell, he directly threw a fist. Vast power shook outward.

Since matters had already reached this point, there was no need for courtesy. It was a life and death battle, and there was no need for probing.

”Arrogant!”

The two Holy Sons’ eyes brimmed with killing intent. Almost in the next instant, the power within their bodies erupted.

The Holy Son of the Ji Clan was enveloped in endless rosy light, his entire person appearing like a god.

As for the Holy Son of the Eternals, he directly fused with the divine halo behind his head. The battle had only just started, but he had already unleashed his strongest power.

”Sister, should I go help?” Jiang Haokong immediately asked.

He had now reached the Immortal Realm as well, and his strength had undergone a qualitative leap compared to before. Naturally, his heart itched to fight the two Holy Sons.

”Since Lu Yuan has spoken, we will wait.” Jiang Ningxian shook her head, then continued, ”The key is that we must protect these people of the Celestial Court so he has nothing to worry about. If you act, it may very well disrupt the rhythm.”

For the Eternals and Ji Clan, if the Jiang siblings also acted, serious problems might arise. After all, although the people of the Celestial Court included Sages, they were still too weak before the Immortals.

Thus, they remained for one simple reason, which was to protect the Celestial Court.

”Alright, I understand.” Jiang Haokong immediately nodded.

He knew this was not the time to be willful. At the same time, he did have some feelings for the Celestial Court’s members. After all, in the preceding months, some of these people had been personally instructed by him.

Naturally, he did not want anything to happen to them.

”However...” Very soon, Jiang Ningxian frowned, worry appearing in her eyes.

”What is it, Sister?” Jiang Haokong felt somewhat puzzled. Had everything not already been arranged?

Jiang Ningxian raised her head, looked around, and slowly said, ”The battle has already begun, but even now, I have yet to see anyone from the Sukhāvatī Starfield.”
