Lu Yuan stood high in the firmament.
Beneath his previous punch, the figures of the two Dao protectors had vanished entirely, leaving no trace behind. No one understood how he had achieved such a feat, and everyone was struck with profound shock.
Even if they were not true bodies, they were beings surpassing the Grotto-Heaven Immortal realm. Yet now, Lu Yuan had attacked and shattered them outright with merely the strength of an Undying Immortal.
In the eyes of onlookers, such an outcome was utterly impossible, yet it had truly come to pass. Both divine sons stood rooted to the spot, struck dumb with shock.
They had never imagined that even after their Dao protectors intervened, the ultimate outcome would remain unchanged. The sheer terror embodied by the man before them was beyond all imagination.
Now especially, both felt an intense, mortal peril. They had never experienced this before, for with their talent and status, no one had ever pushed them into such a desperate corner. Yet Lu Yuan had done precisely that, looking down on them from on high.
And this time, they were the ones being looked down upon.
"Everything is about to end," Jiang Ningxian murmured to herself below as she watched the scene unfold. The present turn of events had far exceeded her wildest imagination; she had no idea how Lu Yuan had pulled it off.
However, she knew full well in her heart that both divine sons were finished. Once Lu Yuan made up his mind, nothing would sway him. Of course, Jiang Ningxian felt no pity; the two had brought this entirely upon themselves.
Beside her, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Haokong's face, though his gaze soon shifted to the other Immortals from the two factions. At such a critical juncture, he could not allow anyone to cause trouble.
"How dare you!" the Eternal Divine Son suddenly shouted.
Upon sensing the overwhelming killing intent radiating from Lu Yuan, disbelief seized him at first, quickly giving way to dread. In his heart, he truly could not fathom that someone would actually dare to make a move against him.
"There is nothing I dare not do," Lu Yuan replied with a shake of his head, his aura surging continuously. He had already sealed off all surrounding space; ordinary people could not intervene at all, and the two before him had no hope of escape. With that, facing both divine sons, he lightly raised a hand.
A magnificent power resonated through his body as intense killing intent swept forth, as if poised to obliterate heaven and earth. With the blessing of destiny, the power Lu Yuan wielded was truly terrifying, reaching a frightening degree that defied all common logic.
"Lu Yuan, don't you dare!"
"Stop at once!"
Just then, two furious roars erupted. It was the Ji Clan Third Ancestor and the Eternal Clan elder. Sensing that their respective divine sons were in mortal danger, they descended from the firmament to put a stop to it all. After all, if their divine sons died, a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions would follow.
"You two, your opponent is me. Let the juniors resolve the affairs of juniors," another voice rang out soon after as Jiang Huanyun descended as well.
Having clashed in fierce battle, the three bore somewhat disordered auras, unlike before. Yet unlike Jiang Huanyun, the other two appeared rather battered. Having sustained various minor and major injuries, they had expended a vast amount of energy, clearly having been at a total disadvantage in the prior clash.
Even so, sensing their divine sons were in peril, they had found a way to descend anyway. Naturally, Jiang Huanyun would not grant them the chance to interfere.
At the same time, Jiang Huanyun was deeply shocked by Lu Yuan's performance. Even more astonishing was that Lu Yuan had shattered the phantoms of two Dao protectors. This made Jiang Huanyun feel all the more certain that the young man was extraordinary; in the future, he might well tread the supreme path. The Jiang clan's earlier decision to cooperate with him had undoubtedly been the right choice. Thus, all the more reason not to allow the two to interfere with Lu Yuan.
So Jiang Huanyun struck out, directly barring the Ji Clan Third Ancestor and the Eternal Clan elder.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan paid them no further attention and threw a punch without hesitation. He had wanted to do this for a very long time. Now that the critical moment had arrived, he naturally would not hold back. A mighty force surged from him, engulfing both divine sons.
Their faces drained of color. Without hesitation, they exhausted every technique at their disposal, unleashing their peak power.
They had no choice. In a matter of life and death, holding back any longer would mean certain doom. Streaks of brilliance enveloped their figures as they prepared to withstand the blow.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan was currently blessed with destiny, his strength surpassing anything he had previously possessed. Under these circumstances, no matter how hard the two struggled, it was ultimately in vain.
*Rumble—!*
In a mere instant, the techniques the two divine sons had poured all their strength into were shattered outright. A moment later, both spat mouthfuls of blood, their bodies trembling violently. Even so, they did not perish immediately, merely suffering grave injuries.
"Quite resilient, aren't you?" Lu Yuan chuckled at the sight, completely unfazed. He raised his palm again and brought it down toward them.
*Boom!*
Golden blood surged and reverberated, shaking the firmament. The two divine sons faced an existential crisis. Beneath this strike, they were forced backward repeatedly, their bodies cracking apart. Blood gushed from their wounds, only to be instantly vaporized by the overwhelming force.
At this moment, the two divine sons who had once shaken the cosmos had no power to resist whatsoever. Their injuries worsened by the second, threatening their very lives. Only their extraordinarily deep foundations had kept them alive; had it been anyone else, even an ordinary Immortal would have crumbled beneath Lu Yuan's unrelenting lethal strikes.
"Lu Yuan, stop this instant! Otherwise, you will incur the ceaseless wrath of our two clans, a price you cannot bear!" Above, the Ji Clan Third Ancestor and the Eternal Clan elder watched in incandescent fury. They desperately wanted to intervene, but to no avail—Jiang Huanyun by their side would never let them have their way.
"Still issuing threats even now?" Lu Yuan's expression remained calm upon hearing those words.
The two factions truly believed they could dominate the entire universe. Even at this stage, they still maintained a haughty, condescending posture, which was truly sickening.
Yet he paid it no heed. His eyes held only tranquility. Furthermore, his strikes showed no sign of stopping; if anything, they grew heavier and heavier. Lu Yuan was striking to kill, showing no mercy with each blow.
No matter how deep the two divine sons' foundations or how formidable their strength, beneath such an onslaught, they could no longer endure. Cracks spread across their bodies, and their bones shattered completely.
Lu Yuan knew that the time for the final blow had come!
