Free Web NovelChapter 392. Descent, Caution Above All, a Battle for the Ages
Their voices made the void and even celestial bodies tremble. The nearby meteoroids exploded, unable to withstand the power of their voices alone.
The two Holy Sons' avatars appeared to be at the Great Sage Realm, but their true strength had already reached the Immortal Realm.
Even with a way to circumvent the Separation of Heaven and Earth, the two knew that they had to prioritize caution above all. If anything went wrong, they risked being restrained, and the plan to kill Lu Yuan would collapse entirely.
The two Holy Sons were proud, but they were careful and meticulous. They had no plans of leaving anything to chance.
Having evolved to his current heights, Lu Yuan definitely had numerous trump cards. They could not afford to underestimate him at all.
In the distance, the beings from the Outer Cosmos watched and exchanged glances. They could see it. The two Holy Sons were serious. They really wanted to see how Lu Yuan was going to stand against the two of them at once.
"It's time. Let's go down together," the Holy Son of the Ji Clan said. This was only an avatar, but his domineering comportment remained intact. Those standing before him, even if they were a Great Sage, would lower their head instinctively.
After all, the two had poured every ounce of their focus into these avatars. Apart from a huge difference in raw power, these avatars were indistinguishable from their true selves in every aspect.
"Indeed, it's time. Lu Yuan's arrogance must end today." The Holy Son of the Eternals nodded, killing intent suffusing in his eyes.
If the Holy Son of the Ji Clan's fury stemmed from Lu Yuan killing Zhou Yunqiong, then the killing intent of the Holy Son of the Eternals was born purely from the deaths of his people. This was a matter of honor for him.
If the attackers were from the Sukhāvatī Starfield, he would hold his tongue. The two starfields were nearly equal in strength, and acting rashly against them could trigger consequences he could probably not handle.
However, Lu Yuan was nothing more than a human from a starfield that had long since fallen into decline. Despite that, he dared to be so arrogant and rude before him.
In the eyes of the Holy Son of the Eternals, Lu Yuan was suicidal. Since the man had decided to seek death of his own volition, the Eternals' Holy Son wouldn't mind bestowing upon him that grace.
The two Holy Sons stepped forward in unison.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed as torrents of power erupted around them. They walked directly into the passageway. The various factions from the Outer Cosmos saw that as their sign to make a move as well. After this battle, everything would change. If they wanted to seize fortunes for themselves and their starfields, then they had to make a decision today.
Rumble!
Radiant bolts of lightning streaked across the skies above Mount Tai. Countless clouds converged along with them, carrying an aura of unspeakable dread.
Elder Ji, Elder Yun, Zhu Qingyu, and the rest of the younger generation saw what was happening and stepped out with solemn faces. The true calamity was here. Two Holy Sons had made their move, and the other invaders lurking in the shadows had cast the dice as well.
Without question, this was the greatest crisis they had ever faced since the founding of the Celestial Court—no, since the Global Awakening itself.
In the past, they would not have been able to stay composed in the face of such terrifying beings and would have even fallen into despair, but things were different now. They had been preparing for a long time, and the Celestial Court had also gotten quite powerful.
The two Holy Sons were too strong for them to deal with. This was true, but King Lu was here, and they had faith in him. In other words, they only had to care about the opportunistic invaders lurking in the shadows.
Of course, failure was not an option; they had to deal with the lurkers as decisively and as swiftly as possible.
Boom!
Just then, the skies shuddered as bolts of lightning stretching tens of thousands of meters tore across the sky. Amidst the chaos, two figures slowly materialized. They stood above Mount Tai, looking down at all living things.
The two did not bother with pleasantries or beating around the bush. "Lu Yuan. Come out here. It's your time to die."
Their voices echoed like thunder, triggering earthquakes across the world. The mutated beasts all over Mount Tai fled in terror. Even Zhu Qingyu and the others went pale, feeling as if their souls were trembling. However, there was nothing they could do against the two Holy Sons, as the two were unimaginably strong.
"It's my time to die?" A voice echoed, carrying boundless confidence and the same calmness as always. "I'd like to see whether you can really bite."
Lu Yuan stepped out of his residence and slowly made his way to the skies, one step at a time. With each step, his aura swelled until it reached the absolute apex of the Great Sage Realm.
Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong appeared as well. The two siblings positioned themselves alongside Zhu Qingyu and the others. The plan had already been laid out. Their role was to ensure that no invaders from the Outer Cosmos could exploit the chaos.
Even Lu Yuan could not protect everyone while under the combined assault of two Holy Sons. Hence, the siblings were there to ensure that he could fight without any worries whatsoever.
"Let's see how long you can keep being so arrogant," the Holy Son of the Eternals replied. Then he wasted no more words and took a single step forward. The divine halo behind his head shuddered and erupted into a light so radiant that it seemed to resemble the sun.
The Holy Son of the Ji Clan made his move as well. Both were among the strongest prodigies in the universe. Their strength was overwhelming, and their talent was unmatched. They had long since resolved to kill Lu Yuan, and now that the moment had come, they unleashed their full strength without restraint.
The mountains below quaked, and the distant earth split open. Had they not been within the vicinity of Mount Tai, the earth beneath them would have shattered as well.
The two Holy Sons quietly stepped forward, and their figures vanished as they launched themselves at Lu Yuan. They remained silent, as there was nothing else to say. Everything that needed to be said had already been said, and at this point, all conversations would be in the form of their fists and divine abilities.
"You two, please protect the Celestial Court," Lu Yuan said. Then his figure erupted with power as he became a streak of golden light that vanished into the distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three streaks of light collided in mid-air, generating a deafening roar that tore through the air. The moment of impact elicited an explosion of light so intense that it forced every eye shut.
Those watching the battle could not look at it directly, and even their divine sense failed them. Those three were truly powerful. In the Milky Way Starfield, they could be considered invincible among their peers.
When the light faded away, Lu Yuan and the two Holy Sons had vanished completely, and not even a trace of their auras remained. What they had left behind was a rift in the fabric of space itself. Had their collision exerted just a bit more force, they would have shattered it.
Lu Yuan at the absolute apex of the Great Sage Realm versus the avatars of two Holy Sons with combat strength comparable to Immortals at the first stage of the Immortal Realm. Needless to say, this was the greatest battle the Milky Way Starfield had ever seen since its Awakening!
