The Immortal Cave, the final ground. Lu Yuan stood calmly in place, his hands clasped behind his back.
His voice from moments before still echoed in everyone's ears. Indeed, even knowing that every extraterrestrial being present harbored ill intent and wished to strike at him, he did not show the slightest panic. He remained just as composed and self-assured as ever, as though nothing in this world could stir significant ripples of emotion within him.
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked around at all the extraterrestrial beings present, seemingly waiting for them to make their move. Yet right now, whenever an extraterrestrial met his gaze, they could not help but look away.
There was no helping it. During this recent period—at least since their arrival—the sense of oppression he exerted had simply been overwhelming. The reason was equally simple: every single time this man struck, he displayed terrifying might.
How many could slay a Saint before even achieving sainthood themselves? And earlier, when the various clans converged on Mount Tai, they had believed victory was firmly in their grasp. But what was the final outcome?
They had still been suppressed single-handedly by him, left without the slightest room to resist. In his hands, those Saint Realm experts had been utterly incapable of making any waves.
The current situation seemed little different from back then. They knew in their hearts that if a fight broke out, they certainly would be no match for him.
"We hail from beyond this realm, each possessing evolutionary lineages and heritages spanning at least ten thousand years. And what of this human, Lu Yuan? He has merely ridden the favorable winds of the Milky Way Star Sector to grow to such a level! He is indeed strong, but can he truly stand against all of us?" At that moment, Lei Xiao of the Celestial Clan suddenly spoke up, his gaze frigid as he continued, "Right now, we have over a hundred Saint Realm experts, and the Eternal Clan stands united with us. We have no need to fear him in the slightest. Just attack!"
The enmity between the Celestial Clan and Lu Yuan went back a long time, starting as far back as the Zhou family and Winged Celestial. If given a chance for vengeance, he naturally would not hesitate, and that was precisely what Lei Xiao was thinking now.
After all, just a short while ago, his clan's ambush against the Yinglong had failed, resulting in their entire group being slaughtered—and the one who had struck was Lu Yuan.
Encountering him here, alongside the Eternal Clan and over a hundred Saint Realm experts, was a golden opportunity.
"That's right. If we join forces, do we really need to fear what waves he might make?" Yu Heng spoke as well, his eyes cold.
In his heart, he acknowledged that Lu Yuan was indeed stronger than himself, but not overwhelmingly so. If he cast all caution aside, went all out, and had allies by his side, the outcome would undoubtedly be different.
As a member of the Eternal Clan, he refused to be suppressed and wanted to reclaim his pride. Now that he had united the great clans of the various star sectors, this was his chance.
"I agree with what's been said! We've been suppressed for a long time—are we supposed to just let it continue?"
"Indeed! With the human Lu Yuan around, it will be hard for any of us to ever have our day in the sun. If we don't slay him now, he will stand in our way every time we search for fortunes in the future. We must strike now!"
At this moment, a Saint Realm expert from the Yin Sparrow Clan chimed in. Its personal strength was formidable, essentially at the peak of the Void Saint Realm, just a half-step away from reaching the Demi-Saint Realm. That was why it had the confidence to speak so boldly.
"Yes, attack now!"
"Slay the human Lu Yuan, and no one in this world will ever suppress us again!"
"As long as he dies, everything in the future will be ours to command!"
Hearing these words, the extraterrestrial beings grew excited one after another.
Though grudges existed among the various clans—some even wanting to kill one another—they all shared the burning desire to eliminate Lu Yuan. Therefore, after weighing their options, the crowd reached a consensus and prepared to attack.
"You talk far too much, and you hesitate far too much. How about I make the decision for you?"
Lu Yuan shook his head at their conversation. Unwilling to waste any more time, he took a step forward.
Rumble!
In an instant, golden vital blood churned, turning into a vast ocean, while arcs of lightning coursed all around his body.
At this moment, he seemed to transform into a living deity. Centered around him, a tremendous might erupted outward, utterly terrifying.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan showed no sign of holding back. Taking that step forward caused the surroundings to violently tremble.
In the very next instant, he appeared directly in front of the Yin Sparrow Saint Realm expert and slammed a fist straight downward.
*Not good!*
Seeing this, the Yin Sparrow Saint screamed in alarm, "What are you all waiting for? He has already made the first move!"
With that, it mustered every ounce of its strength to fend off the incoming fist.
Unfortunately, the disparity between them was simply too vast.
*Boom!*
A tremendous roar echoed as terrifying force detonated.
The Saint from the Yin Sparrow Clan had no room to resist whatsoever and was blasted backward. A mouthful of blood erupted from its mouth and nose, and it could no longer maintain its human form, instantly reverting to its true shape.
Cracks spiderwebbed across its massive body, looking like fragile porcelain that might shatter at the slightest touch, while its aura plummeted into weakness.
"Look at that! It's not that we're looking for trouble; he was the one who attacked first! If this person isn't eliminated, he will take everyone's lives sooner or later! He is nothing more than a native of the Milky Way Star Sector, cruel and bloodthirsty! What are you all still waiting for?"
Seizing upon this moment, Lei Xiao of the Celestial Clan sought to stoke the fury of everyone present, intending to bind them completely to his side so they could slaughter Lu Yuan in this mythological secret realm.
Yet, when saying those words, he seemed to have forgotten that they had been the ones looking to pick a fight with Lu Yuan in the first place—this was pure projection, shifting the blame entirely onto him.
"Everyone, if not now, then when?" Yu Heng of the Eternal Clan immediately followed up on Lei Xiao's words.
However, he knew that empty talk was useless. The moment his words fell, without the slightest hesitation, the divine halo behind his head flared with brilliant rays of light, unleashing a staggering pressure from his body.
Only if he took action would the others follow suit.
*Boom!*
A powerful aura surged violently, sweeping outward in an instant.
Lei Xiao seemed to understand Yu Heng's intentions and made his move as well.
Rumble!
Streaks of lightning erupted and crackled violently from his body.
Both of them were at the Demi-Saint Realm, possessors of extraordinary talent and terrifying combat prowess. The aura the two released as they joined forces was immensely powerful.
Seeing this, the beings of the various extraterrestrial clans no longer hesitated in their hearts.
They chose to unite.
"Kill!"
"Kill Lu Yuan, and we will be suppressed no more!"
They roared, channeling every shred of power within their bodies. Everyone knew that they had to seize this chance to kill him; otherwise, the consequences would be endless.
As for Lu Yuan, a faint smile surfaced on his face.
Today, he could slaughter to his heart's content!
