Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

An immense aura flooded the region, causing countless nearby stars to flicker. The power emanating from Lu Yuan was so overwhelming that it disturbed this entire region of space, and the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal could not break free. He could only remain trapped within it.

That was precisely what baffled him. Across the entire Xuanhuang Cosmos, there were few who could match him after he had reached the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, and even fewer who surpassed him. He knew who each of them was, yet he had no idea who stood before him now.

When had such a formidable figure appeared?

Lu Yuan naturally had no intention of answering. His expression remained calm, and the killing intent around him did not diminish.

All four Teleportation Dao Platforms they had encountered along the way had been destroyed. Not only had this delayed his return to Earth, but countless living beings had also been slaughtered. In Lu Yuan’s eyes, none of the Ji Clan members responsible could be allowed to live.

Now, only one remained: this Celestial Seat Immortal.

Lu Yuan took another step forward, and terrifying power surged from him. The Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal paled slightly.

He had already determined that Lu Yuan was in the same realm as him. With that in mind, there was nothing to fear.

”You and I are both Celestial Seat Immortals. I refuse to believe you can do anything to me!”

With those words, he unleashed all his strength. As far as he knew, one Celestial Seat Immortal might defeat another, but killing an opponent in the same realm was virtually impossible. At this level, death no longer came easily unless the opponent was a Supreme Immortal, and only a handful of Supreme Immortals existed in the present Xuanhuang Cosmos.

Thus, the Ji Clan immortal felt no fear.

Lu Yuan said nothing. He continued forward, and the two collided head-on.

Watching from a distance, Jiang Ningxian retreated once more. A battle between Celestial Seat Immortals was terrifying when no restrictions held them back.

The instant she withdrew, violent waves of power erupted.

Rumble!

Endless thunder swept through space, shattering the surrounding stars. These were merely the aftershocks of the battle, yet their power was already devastating. As the two continued to exchange blows, cracks spread through space itself, painting a scene that resembled the end of the world.

Even stars could not withstand it. The laws of this universe granted planets that nurtured life a measure of special protection. Celestial bodies without that protection, no matter how enormous, could not endure the might of a Celestial Seat Immortal.

At the heart of the battlefield, two figures wove around one another. As they unleashed one technique after another, even greater power burst forth in countless streams of light.

Even Jiang Ningxian was taken aback. This was the first time she had witnessed a battle of this level at such close range.

Boom!

After another exchange, Lu Yuan threw a punch that seemed capable of shaking the heavens. Majestic power erupted from the blow, sending the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal staggering backward as though he had suffered a devastating strike.

Blood poured from his mouth and nose, while cracks spread across his flesh as though he might burst apart at any moment.

How is this possible? His physique, his techniques... How can every aspect of him be so formidable? Who is he?

His eyes widened in shock. During their clash, he had felt not only pressure, but a threat to his life.

He could barely believe it. They were clearly in the same realm, yet he was no match for Lu Yuan. More terrifying still, Lu Yuan really seemed capable of killing him.

No. He could not allow that.

The Ji Clan immortal roared as the surrounding space shattered into countless cracks. He transformed into a streak of light, unleashing such tremendous power that the heavens trembled. Grotto-Heaven laws, Creation laws, and Celestial Seat laws coiled around him as he launched the strongest strike of his life at Lu Yuan.

”Lu Yuan, be careful!” Jiang Ningxian called out from afar, her expression changing. She could tell that the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal was staking his life on this attack.

Lu Yuan?

The man before him was Lu Yuan?

The Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal recoiled at the name. As far as he knew, Lu Yuan had only recently entered the Immortal Realm and was practically a junior among juniors. How could he have already become a Celestial Seat Immortal?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. If this really was Lu Yuan, then no matter the cost, he could not be allowed to live.

He had reached the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm in such a short time. Would he become a Supreme Immortal next? Could he even surpass that realm in the future?

If so, the Ji Clan and the Eternals’ plans would face a grave threat.

Lu Yuan has to die.

With that thought, the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal drove every last shred of power into his attack, determined to kill Lu Yuan. Such a man would become a mortal threat to the Ji Clan if left alive.

Lu Yuan could naturally sense his intent, but his gaze did not waver. Even the man’s strongest technique posed little threat to him.

He stepped forward and extended a hand. Buddha’s Palm Domain unfolded, and ancient Buddhist temples manifested across space.

A moment later, the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal was completely immobilized.

Ever since reaching the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, Lu Yuan had known that no one in the same realm could rival him. Only Supreme Immortals, those who stood at the peak of the Immortal Realm, were likely capable of fighting him.

What difference did it make if this man was staking his life on one attack?

Lu Yuan did not care in the slightest.

Trapped within Buddha’s Palm Domain, the Ji Clan’s Celestial Seat Immortal finally panicked. He had never imagined that even his strongest technique would prove utterly useless.

Just how strong was Lu Yuan?
