Chapter 296

Uniting the Clans, Two Super Factions

The Eternal Clan had descended once again, but unlike other extraterrestrial beings, their destination was aimed straight at Mount Tai. Furthermore, every single one of them exuded an exceptionally powerful aura, all having reached the Demi-Saint Realm. From this alone, one could tell that these members of the Eternal Clan likely held quite high status within their clan. Following the appearance of these individuals, several extraterrestrial races began paying close attention as well. For everyone knew that back at Mount Huang—specifically within the Immortal Cave Secret Realm—a conflict had broken out between Lu Yuan and Yu Heng. Yu Heng was a sequence of the Eternal Clan. Even if his rank had not been very high, he still belonged among the ranks of chosen prides. Furthermore, there were two other Eternal Clan members. Now, all three of them had been left behind forever in Mount Huang. This matter had to be settled sooner or later. In particular, many extraterrestrial beings were well aware that the Eternal Clan was not only formidable, but also conducted their affairs with utter domineering arrogance. If something happened to their own people, they would surely stop at nothing to seek revenge. After all, this was by no means the first time such a thing had occurred. Thus, once they learned that several members of the Eternal Clan had descended, they all understood. They were going to cause trouble for Lu Yuan. Consequently, many chose to head over to watch. The Eternal Clan possessed inherently peerless talent and rarely encountered rivals in the same realm. Now, several Demi-Saint Realm figures had appeared. If they clashed with Lu Yuan or even Earth's so-called Heavenly Court, it might very well be a good thing for the onlookers. Many extraterrestrial beings harbored immense hatred toward Lu Yuan, yet they had been helpless to destroy him. Now that the Eternal Clan was taking the initiative to strike, they were naturally thrilled. Some even believed that if even the Eternal Clan proved unable to handle him, they could join forces when the time came. Just like that, Mount Tai once again became the center of this world. Powerful figures among the extraterrestrial beings converged upon it in continuous waves. Curiously, however, the Eternal Clan members moved at a very slow pace, seemingly in no rush at all, which left many puzzled. "They've certainly calculated well. They know that with their current strength, dealing with Lu Yuan—much less wiping him out—is difficult, and that they must possess sufficient power. Traveling so slowly is likely born from a desire to unite with the other clans." When Ji Hongyu of the Ji clan lineage heard about this, a faint smile could not help but appear on his face. He had descended earlier than the Eternal Clan, yet his recent actions had been exceedingly low-profile. Nor had he proactively fought over any famous mountains or great rivers. For he knew there was no need to rush. The crucial matter was to understand the specific changes unfolding across this world. Of course, more importantly, the Ji clan was not invincible; the prominent clans ranking in the top ten across the top hundred star sectors were all gradually descending. None of those figures had made a move yet, essentially keeping themselves temporarily concealed. Under such circumstances, Ji Hongyu had ample patience. Now that the Eternal Clan had descended and made seeking out Lu Yuan their first order of business, he naturally understood their intention. "Unite with the other clans?" Beside him, Zhou Yunqiong looked puzzled and could not help but ask, "I've heard that the Eternal Clan is fierce and domineering. Facing anyone, if they suffer a loss, they usually strike back directly. If they want to deal with Lu Yuan, surely they wouldn't need to join hands with others?" Having stayed with the Ji clan and out in the cosmos for so long, she had already come to understand many things. The Eternal Clan was especially renowned. Yet upon hearing that they intended to unite with the various clans, she could not help but feel doubtful, finding it rather improbable. "Under such circumstances, it is far better to unite with the other clans who want to move against Lu Yuan." Ji Hongyu had already attained the Great Saint Realm and was not only formidable in strength; more importantly, he excelled in every respect, especially when it came to grasping the overall situation. For instance, he had seen right through the Eternal Clan's current intentions. "Then should we make a move?" Zhou Yunqiong spoke up. Ever since descending, her very first thought had been revenge. Unfortunately, the conditions were not yet ripe, and Ji Hongyu and the others by her side had told her not to be in a rush, leaving her no choice but to wait. Now, hearing that the Eternal Clan was taking action and preparing to rally the various clans, Zhou Yunqiong could hardly contain herself. "There truly isn't much to do lately. If you wish to go, then go," Ji Hongyu replied after a brief thought, nodding in the end. In their actions, the Eternal Clan had always sworn never to rest until their objective was reached. If they could eliminate Lu Yuan, that would be a good thing. Moreover, Zhou Yunqiong had always viewed this as a vengeance that had to be repaid. If he did not grant her wish, it might be difficult to answer for it later. Besides, with the Eternal Clan standing in the front, there naturally wouldn't be any issues. "Great!" Hearing this, a smile instantly appeared on Zhou Yunqiong's face. She had longed for revenge all along, and now, that opportunity had finally arrived. Soon, another few days passed. News spread that the Ji clan had answered the Eternal Clan's call and was preparing to dispatch personnel to Mount Tai alongside them. Once this news emerged, nearly everyone was shaken. For these were two super factions ranking among the top ten! To join forces against Lu Yuan was entirely unprecedented. Even though Lu Yuan had previously demonstrated extraordinary strength and methods, he was now facing two super factions. Just how formidable would they be once allied? "It should have been like this long ago! The human Lu Yuan obstructed our footsteps and plans—he must die!" "Indeed. If this man continues to exist, future affairs will be difficult to carry out." "With two clans joining hands, I refuse to believe he can survive!" At this moment, upon hearing the news, the extraterrestrial beings became utterly thrilled. The reason was simple: ever since descending into this world, virtually all of them had been suppressed. There were places they knew full well held immense fortuities, yet they dared not venture there lightly—all because of Lu Yuan. They knew very well that as time progressed, opportunities would only multiply. When that time came, were they supposed to continue being suppressed? What had been the point of crossing endless distances and enduring all that hardship to reach the Milky Way Star Sector? Wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain? Thus, in the end, those extraterrestrial beings also began drawing closer to the Eternal Clan. Following the previous gathering at Mount Tai, the extraterrestrial beings were congregating once more. Yet unlike before, this time two super factions stood united, and when the moment came, Great Saint-level figures might even step in! Everyone felt that even for the human Lu Yuan, this was a massive crisis. If he was ill-prepared or careless, he would likely suffer a catastrophic disaster. The extraterrestrial beings were all filled with boundless anticipation.
