"Very well. Since you have enough confidence, I will say no more.
"Just remember one thing: if your strength begins to fail, you must never force yourself to hold out." Jiang Taiyu's voice echoed once again.
He naturally had faith in Lu Yuan and knew the young man's strength. Being able to directly slay a Heaven-rank Extraterrestrial Demon had already proven in every way that, given enough time, Lu Yuan would surely grow into a being even more powerful than himself.
Moreover, Jiang Taiyu understood that the reason Lu Yuan wanted to join the battle was not only to keep the allied lives from being thrown away in vain, but also to find an opportunity to take the next step forward in the midst of this intense conflict.
Lu Yuan had already reached the peak of the Creation Immortal Realm. One step higher was the Heavenly Position Immortal Realm. Jiang Taiyu was well aware of this. Of course, even knowing it, there was nothing he could do to assist directly. Once someone attained the Immortal Realm, every subsequent step had to be forged on their own.
Having walked this path before, he naturally understood it all too well. Therefore, he agreed to Lu Yuan's idea and said no more, turning his full focus toward dealing with the Extraterrestrial Demons.
His opponents were extremely troublesome, but he merely needed to hold them at bay and leave the rest to the forces below. The Celestial Clan might possess the power of the Extraterrestrial Demons and be far different from what they once were, but now that Lu Yuan was taking action, Jiang Taiyu could set his mind at ease.
At that moment, within the Lei Ji Mountain Range, the members of the Celestial Clan struck. Every single one of them was cloaked in black lightning and bore a pair of black wings on their backs.
Their appearance had changed significantly from before, and their strength was no exception. The might they displayed prevented the various allied races from gaining even the slightest ground. Lu Yuan could even see that on another part of the battlefield, Mo Gang of the Maha Clan was locked in fierce combat with the Celestial Clan and failed to gain the upper hand.
In this regard, having accepted the power of the Extraterrestrial Demons, they had indeed become exceptionally difficult to handle. If things continued like this, it was truly hard to say who would ultimately prevail.
And this was precisely the situation Lu Yuan had anticipated. Now that he was already here, how could he simply walk away?
Without another word, he took a single stride forward.
In an instant, his figure appeared high above the Lei Ji Mountain Range. Yet, just like before, not many people noticed him.
However, when Jiang Ningxian, Jiang Haokong, and the others caught sight of him, the confusion on their faces only deepened. They had seen Lu Yuan leave earlier, and though they did not know what he had gone to do, they knew it had to be something important. They simply had not expected him to suddenly reappear on the battlefield.
Just what was going on?
Naturally, Lu Yuan knew now was not the time for explanations. After stepping onto the battlefield, he showed not the slightest trace of hesitation.
The blood and qi throughout his entire body erupted in an instant, held back by nothing. People had already been wounded and killed; wasting any more time would be unforgivable.
At this moment, Lu Yuan unleashed his full strength. His golden blood and qi transformed directly into a boundless ocean, instantly engulfing dozens of surrounding Celestial Clan members—all of whom were Grotto-Heaven Immortals.
In the next instant, his aura surged, and without a moment's pause, he threw a punch.
Rumble!
The onlookers heard only a thunderous roar.
Immediately after, the golden blood and qi receded. When everyone looked back toward the battlefield, all the Celestial Clan members in that area had vanished. Nothing was left behind, as though they had been forcibly erased from existence.
This sight stunned everyone present, including the beings of the allied races.
The Celestial Clan's forces were utterly shaken. In the battle just moments ago, both sides had clearly been evenly matched—the Celestial Clan had even held a slight advantage. Yet now, an individual who had appeared out of nowhere had wiped out dozens of their clansmen in a single breath.
What was going on?
Naturally, no one was going to answer them. Having finished off that group, Lu Yuan struck again.
He stepped forward once more, arriving at another section of the battlefield. Here, the Celestial Clan held the upper hand, and several beings from the allied races who had followed Jiang Taiyu were already wounded.
Upon arriving, Lu Yuan unleashed another punch. Terrifying power surged, and in the very next instant, yet another Celestial Clan member was obliterated on the spot, unable to mount even the slightest resistance.
Before long, the Celestial Clan suffered devastating losses.
"We cannot let him continue like this, or our Celestial Clan will be destroyed! Move in and surround him!" an expert of the Celestial Clan finally shouted. It was the Domain Lord of the Thunderstrike Star Domain. Of course, he was not a Supreme Immortal; his original cultivation had merely been at the Creation Immortal Realm. Only through accepting the power of the Extraterrestrial Demons had his realm been forcibly elevated to that of a Heavenly Position Immortal.
Seeing his own clansmen slaughtered, he could no longer bear it and ordered several Celestial Clan Creation Immortals to take action, hoping to intercept Lu Yuan and slay him.
He had no choice. In just a short span of time, Lu Yuan had transformed into a living god of slaughter. Even the Celestial Clan could not withstand such devastation. Moreover, those present were all the elites of the Celestial Clan; if they all died, the clan's future hopes would be thoroughly snuffed out.
Following the Domain Lord's command, Creation Immortals stepped forward one after another, encircling Lu Yuan while radiating intense killing intent. Against an opponent like this, they showed no restraint, unleashing lethal arts right from the start.
Many in the surroundings did not recognize Lu Yuan. When the beings of the allied races witnessed this encirclement, worried expressions surfaced across their faces. From Lu Yuan's actions just now, they knew he was formidable, but now he was being targeted by the core elites of the Celestial Clan.
Yet in the next breath, the worry in their eyes turned to sheer shock.
As Lu Yuan struck, waves of golden blood and qi rippled outward incessantly. A formidable aura swept across the heavens and earth, resembling the descent of a supreme powerhouse. Beneath such overwhelming might, the Creation Immortals were entirely powerless to resist.
From the very beginning, Lu Yuan had fought with everything he had, harboring no intention of holding back. Thus, he unleashed his peak combat strength.
Terrifying energy billowed forth, and countless divine rays surged, engulfing the entire battlefield. No one could perceive what was happening within the brilliant glow, but they all understood that the man battling the Celestial Clan's Creation Immortals was far from as simple as he appeared.
Sure enough, when the radiance finally dissipated, everyone looked over only to see Lu Yuan standing calmly in his original spot.
A vast expanse of fresh blood surrounded him, yet under the heat of his golden blood and qi, it was already beginning to evaporate. Bathed in the crimson essence of several Creation Immortals, he stood like a war god drenched in blood.
The sight drew everyone's gaze in utter disbelief. No one could have imagined that someone appearing so suddenly would possess such terrifying power. With the deaths of the Celestial Clan's Grotto-Heaven Immortals and Creation Immortals, the tide of the entire battlefield shifted instantly.
In other words, by his own strength alone, Lu Yuan had completely turned the tide of battle!
