Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

All four were Celestial Seat Immortals whose strength had reached a terrifying level. Without Buddha’s Palm Domain containing their power, the surrounding mountains and land would already have been destroyed.

Experts of this realm could no longer be measured by ordinary standards, whether in physique or soul.

The watching races, Zhu Qingyu, and the others could all sense that supreme power. Had it been directed at them, the pressure alone would have crushed them before the Celestial Seat Immortals truly attacked.

This was the crushing advantage of a higher realm. The people outside and the Celestial Seat Immortals might as well have existed on different planes.

Worry entered Zhu Qingyu and the others’ eyes as they watched Lu Yuan.

Only Jiang Ningxian remained composed. She had personally witnessed Lu Yuan battle a Celestial Seat Immortal and seize an overwhelming advantage. Even knowing that he now faced four such opponents alone, she had never doubted him.

Within Buddha’s Palm Domain, Lu Yuan calmly faced the power of the four Celestial Seat Immortals. He had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Without another word, he stepped forward. His aura surged as golden vital qi poured forth and covered the sky.

Then he threw another punch.

Rumble!

His golden fists seemed capable of suppressing heaven and earth. The four Celestial Seat Immortals immediately felt immense pressure bear down upon them.

Still, they did not retreat. With all four joining forces, they believed Lu Yuan could not defeat them in a battle to the death, even if he had reached the same realm.

The instant their power met his, their confidence wavered. They began to tremble beneath the might of Lu Yuan’s attack. Their flesh threatened to split apart, while their souls were completely suppressed. Even their strongest techniques could not withstand him.

Boom!

The four held against the punch only briefly before being driven backward, their faces pale. One had lost nearly all color and had clearly suffered a serious setback.

”How can this brat be so strong?” the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal demanded, disbelief filling his eyes.

He had never imagined that even the four of them together would fail to gain an advantage. Had their cultivation not given them such tremendous reserves of power, that blow would already have injured them.

”We must use everything we have,” a Celestial Seat Immortal of the Eternals warned gravely. ”Otherwise, this will become troublesome.”

All four had reached the same conclusion. Any one of them would be at a severe disadvantage against Lu Yuan alone. Even together, they had accomplished little. Unless they unleashed their greatest strength now, he might defeat them one by one.

The other three exchanged glances and nodded.

Divine light erupted around them as their auras soared, opening cracks even in Buddha’s Palm Domain. They were Celestial Seat Immortals, among the strongest experts in the universe. Their full power was unquestionably terrifying.

No matter how formidable Lu Yuan was, he remained in the same realm. He might be able to draw upon his immense reserves and kill them one by one, but completely overwhelming all four at once would not be easy.

Lu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. Golden vital qi surged around him as grotto-heavens appeared one after another, each containing the seated figure of a true god.

He had known from the beginning that fighting four Celestial Seat Immortals would not end quickly.

Lu Yuan summoned his power and met them head-on. Endless radiance erupted as the five exchanged hundreds of blows in the span of a moment, driving Buddha’s Palm Domain to the verge of collapse.

The force inside was so violent that an ordinary Immortal Realm cultivator would have been torn apart instantly.

The four Celestial Seat Immortals pushed their power even further. They knew Lu Yuan had created Buddha’s Palm Domain to prevent the battle from harming those outside.

The Celestial Court and Earth’s ordinary citizens were his weakness.

They could not defeat Lu Yuan quickly, and a prolonged battle might turn against them. Attacking the weaker members of the Celestial Court would force him to divide his attention and make him easier to handle.

Once they settled on this plan, they poured all their power into breaking Buddha’s Palm Domain.

Lu Yuan immediately understood their intention. His expression turned cold, and killing intent entered his eyes.

He had intended to use the four as whetstones, tempering his strength against them as he sought to touch the Supreme Immortal Realm. Their plan made that impossible.

”Since you’re determined to court death, I won’t hold back any longer.”

His voice remained unnervingly calm as terrifying power erupted from him once more.

The Great Luo Sword Embryo appeared in his hand. Boundless sword intent surged from it, filling Buddha’s Palm Domain.

The four Celestial Seat Immortals immediately sensed mortal danger. Cold swept through them, and their souls began to tremble.

This was bad.

Lu Yuan was finally serious.

They attacked Buddha’s Palm Domain again, knowing they had nowhere to flee while trapped inside. Their best chance was to break free, seize members of the Celestial Court, and use them to restrain Lu Yuan.

He would not give them that opportunity.

Lu Yuan stepped forward as sword intent surged around him. He had comprehended this power long ago at Ancient Mount Shu, and wielding it now came as naturally as breathing.
