Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Even though these three Celestials had accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons and become far stronger than others in the same realm, they could not withstand even a single strike from Lu Yuan.

Everything happened in an instant. No one had time to react.

Jiang Ningxian and the others also acted, using their methods to save all those ordinary beings.

Although not many were left, they felt that saving even some was already good enough.

At the very least, it was not like before, when they had always been one step too late and could only stare helplessly at the sacrificial aftermath.

Jiang Ningxian and the others were all Immortals, so they were not weak. After saving the ordinary people, they transferred them to a relatively safe place.

Everyone knew very well that a great battle might occur next. If these ordinary people remained here, they would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant just from the battle aftershocks alone.

Everything they had just done would then have been for nothing. Thus, they moved the people away and used their methods to temporarily seal the surrounding region, preventing the power from the battlefield from spreading out.

For the moment, this was everything Jiang Ningxian and the others could do.

From the moment they appeared, they had sensed an extremely vast and indescribably terrifying power in the region. Even they felt danger from it.

So the Jiang Clan members instantly knew then.

They had found the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon and its aura was extremely powerful.

Even Jiang Haokong’s expression became extremely grave.

He looked at the altar not far away. He was ready for a battle at any moment. In his perception, the black figure above it had already surpassed the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm and was at least at a Creation Immortal.

Jiang Haokong had extreme confidence in his own strength. But he also knew that in this situation, he could not act rashly because he had no assurance of victory.

”Is that the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon?” A Jiang Clan member asked with apparent shock on his face.

On the altar, the figure shrouded in mist displayed a pressure that instilled fear in him.

It was not only him. Almost every Jiang Clan member present realized that they were not its match.

This was the first time everyone had seen an Extracosmic Heavenly Demon. Unfortunately, they still could not see its face. Mystery and the unknown usually signaled danger, so none of them acted rashly.

”I did not expect you to catch up so quickly and ruin my plan,” the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon said in a hoarse voice, his words laced with extremely strong killing intent.

According to the original plan, after absorbing the life essence emitted by this planet, his strength would rise another level and be equivalent to the level of a Celestial Seat Immortal in this world.

Who would have thought they would catch up so quickly? It enraged him.

”Forget it. I will resolve you first.”

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demon stood up. The black mist radiating from him rippled outward in layers.

In a single instant, it enveloped the entire planet, plunging everything into darkness.

In his heart, he did not care who these people were. What mattered was that his plan had been ruined, so they had to be annihilated.

The Extracosmic Heavenly Demon fully released his aura. The black mist carried a power that made people feel disgust.

After sensing it, the expressions of the Jiang Clan members changed in succession. Standing there, they felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and agitation.

Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong instantly sensed that something was wrong.

They immediately understood that they were being suppressed by the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon. Under such circumstances, if a battle broke out, they would not be able to display their strongest strength at all.

Was this the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons?

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

However, In the next instant, a completely different aura appeared. It was clean, vast, and blazing with yang energy, dispelling all the gloom in everyone’s hearts.

”From here on, none of you need to act. Let me handle it,” Lu Yuan said.

Layers of light enveloped him.

The planet that had fallen into darkness now had light once again.

He stood there, filled with absolute confidence. He did not take the pressure of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon to heart at all.

”All right. You do not need to worry about the beings we rescued. We will handle them.” Jiang Ningxian nodded. She had no intention of interfering or assisting from the side.

She knew that the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon was indeed powerful and possessed all kinds of strange abilities.

Therefore, only Lu Yuan could act. What they needed to do was make sure he could fight without worry.

Even Jiang Haokong, who had previously clamored about fighting the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, fell silent now.

He knew this was no joke. If they were careless, everyone might suffer calamity.

One question weighed on them.

Were all Extracosmic Heavenly Demons this powerful?

Of course, no one answered.

Lu Yuan merely took one step forward and stood opposite the altar. His golden blood qi surged, and he emitted a grand aura capable of crushing mountains and rivers.

”I can tell that you are the strongest among this group, and just now, you killed those three with a single strike.

”Not bad. You are qualified to be my opponent, but that is all. After I resolve you...

”I will personally destroy this planet,” the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon declared and also took a step forward.

Although his entire form was shrouded in black mist, the way he spoke and acted was very similar to a human.

Of course, Lu Yuan did not dwell on that right now. The anger in his eyes from before had already been replaced by calm.

After hearing the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon’s words, he said nothing more.

He merely responded with a punch.

Boom.

In an instant, a golden fist appeared, carrying a peerless aura.

Heaven and earth shook, and the black mist covering the entire planet scattered.

However, the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon did not panic in the slightest at the sight . He did not even move.

Black divine light shot out from around the demon in succession and collided with the golden fist.

Sizzle.

The enormous roar one might have imagined did not appear.

Instead, it sounded like something had been corroded.

Even space twisted, unable to withstand that power.

Lu Yuan sensed a cold and oppressive aura. His blood qi erupted once more as he barely broke free of that power, then took a slight step back.

Yes. He retreated.

This was the first time since he began cultivating that he had stepped back in battle against an enemy.
