Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

This was simply how the world worked. Most powerful experts cared about preserving their dignity, but such concerns vanished when an enemy threatened their plans.

The four Celestial Seat Immortals had never considered anyone else in the Celestial Court a threat. From the beginning, they had treated the confrontation as little more than a game, knowing that no matter how desperately those people struggled, the outcome would remain unchanged.

Lu Yuan was different. He had grown even stronger than before and had apparently killed a Celestial Seat Immortal. They could no longer afford to underestimate him.

If they failed here, Lu Yuan would destroy the core experts and hard-earned strength the two factions had assembled. They could not allow that. They had to join forces and eliminate the threat before it grew any further.

All four Celestial Seat Immortals stepped forward, unleashing their auras without restraint.

”Four Celestial Seat Immortals are joining forces against Lu Yuan?”

”Just how strong is he now? Can anyone even guess?”

”I don’t know, but he certainly isn’t weak.”

The surrounding onlookers retreated in alarm. A battle between Lu Yuan and four Celestial Seat Immortals would be nothing like the clashes before it. The aftermath alone could engulf countless people.

Sure enough, a deafening roar soon swept across the region.

Lu Yuan attacked. He did not draw the Great Luo Sword Embryo, but merely threw a punch. Supreme power erupted, shaking heaven and earth as the five combatants collided.

Four against one, and all four opponents were Celestial Seat Immortals.

Such a force would be terrifying anywhere in the universe. Together, these four could destroy nearly every living being in the cosmos.

Lu Yuan showed no fear. He extended a palm, and ancient temples manifested around them as Buddha’s Palm Domain unfolded, sealing the entire region within a space of its own.

Not even the power of four Celestial Seat Immortals could escape the domain.

The four were startled, but attacked Lu Yuan again without a word.

”King Lu is protecting us and the Earth,” Zhu Qingyu realized at once.

Lu Yuan had created Buddha’s Palm Domain to prevent the aftershocks of their battle from devastating the surrounding region. This was Earth, home to countless living beings and members of the Celestial Court.

Yet maintaining the domain might divide his attention during the battle, and Zhu Qingyu still felt anxious. However, when she saw Jiang Ningxian standing beside her without the slightest concern, she realized her fears were probably unnecessary.

Jiang Ningxian had traveled through the universe at King Lu’s side and was one of the Jiang Clan’s most gifted Rankers. In some respects, Zhu Qingyu knew she could not compare.

The realization left a strange feeling in her heart.

Boom!

Within Buddha’s Palm Domain, the battle had already begun. The four Celestial Seat Immortals attacked without restraint, divine light surging around them as the entire domain trembled.

Only Lu Yuan’s strength kept the space intact. Had Buddha’s Palm Domain been any less stable, their attacks would already have torn it apart.

The four Immortals recognized this as well. Lu Yuan’s strength had become far more terrifying than before. Otherwise, they would have shattered the domain with ease.

It made no difference. All they needed to do was defeat and kill him.

The four unleashed their strongest techniques and managed to suppress Lu Yuan for some time. They were Celestial Seat Immortals, after all, and each possessed terrifying strength. At this level, even opponents within the same realm rarely overwhelmed one another completely.

With four of them fighting together, they were confident of victory.

Lu Yuan did feel some pressure, but his gaze remained unchanged and his attacks only grew fiercer. Divine light and immense waves of power filled Buddha’s Palm Domain as the two sides clashed.

Space itself seemed to fracture beneath the battle.

However, no matter how much strength the four Celestial Seat Immortals unleashed, Lu Yuan was merely forced onto the defensive. He showed no sign of defeat.

The sight stunned them. Four Celestial Seat Immortals had joined forces, yet they could not overcome a single opponent.

”Is this the full extent of your combined strength?” Lu Yuan asked, his quiet voice carrying unmistakable authority.

He had not used his full power since the battle began. He had merely wanted to see what these four Celestial Seat Immortals could accomplish.

They were not as formidable as he had expected.

The four experts were shaken by his words. For the first time, they wondered whether confronting Lu Yuan had been a mistake.

At that moment, boundless power erupted from him. His aura soared as radiant light gathered, and grotto-heavens manifested behind him. The Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique surged through him, driving his strength even higher.

Golden vital qi swept across Buddha’s Palm Domain, filling every corner of the sealed space.

Lu Yuan’s might now seemed invincible.

Facing all four Celestial Seat Immortals, he threw another punch without hesitation.

Rumble!

The strike shook heaven and earth. Endless radiance flooded the domain, hiding the battle from those outside.

The four Celestial Seat Immortals paled and immediately summoned their greatest strength to resist.

Boom!

Even with Buddha’s Palm Domain containing the clash, everyone outside felt its terrifying force press down upon their hearts.
