Recognizing His Identity: Just How Strong Is He?

A formidable aura flooded the entire region, causing countless surrounding stars to flicker continuously. The power emanating from Lu Yuan was truly far too immense, capable of affecting the cosmos across this entire expanse. What was more, the Ji clan's Heavenly Position Immortal before him could not break free of it at all and could only let himself remain enveloped within. Precisely because of this, he could not fathom who stood before him. After all, across the entire Xuanhuang Universe, those who had attained the Heavenly Position Immortal realm and were capable of matching him in battle—let alone surpassing him—were exceedingly few. Furthermore, he knew every single one of them. Yet he knew nothing at all about the person before his eyes. When had such a figure emerged? Of course, Lu Yuan offered no answer. His expression remained calm, and the killing intent radiating from him did not diminish in the slightest. Along their journey, all four teleportation platforms had been destroyed. Not only had this slowed his return to Earth, but countless living beings had also perished. In his eyes, none of these Ji clan members could be spared; all had to be slain. Now, only one remained: this Heavenly Position Immortal. Promptly, Lu Yuan took another step forward. Terrifying power surged forth, unleashed without reservation. Across from him, the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal's face paled slightly. He could see now that his opponent was at the same realm as himself. Under such circumstances, there was no need to fear, so he spoke without hesitation: "You and I are both in the Heavenly Position Immortal realm! I refuse to believe you can do anything to me!" As he spoke, he completely unleashed his own power as well. In his understanding, between two Heavenly Position Immortals, one might defeat the other, but killing someone at the same realm was simply impossible. After all, once one attained this level, dying was essentially out of the question—unless the opponent was a Supreme Immortal. Yet in the present Xuanhuang Universe, Supreme Immortals numbered only a handful. Thus, the Ji clan's Heavenly Position Immortal felt no fear whatsoever. Yet Lu Yuan said nothing, merely continuing forward. And then, the two clashed head-on. Not far away, Jiang Ningxian watched and could not help retreating once more. An unrestricted battle between Heavenly Position Immortals was extraordinarily terrifying. Sure enough, the very moment she backed away, a horrifying aura surged out. Rumble! Rumble! Endless lightning tore through the void. The surrounding stars began to shatter at that moment. This was merely the aftershock unleashed by their clash, yet it was already horrific. As the two traded blows in rapid succession, cracks formed across the surrounding space. Such a sight was terrifying, like the end of days. Even luminous stars were no exception. The laws of this cosmos functioned such that life-bearing planets were protected by a certain special power. Otherwise, no matter how colossal a celestial body might be, none could withstand the might radiated by a Heavenly Position Immortal. Now, at the very heart of the battlefield, she could see two silhouettes intertwined. As they deployed various techniques, even greater power burst forth. Boundless light surged. Even Jiang Ningxian could not help feeling astonished upon witnessing it. After all, this was her first time watching a battle of this caliber head-on. Boom! With another clash, Lu Yuan's fist seemed capable of shaking the heavens. Upon impact, magnificent force welled up, and in the next instant, the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal stumbled backward repeatedly as if struck by a colossal blow. Blood gushed from his nose and mouth, and even his body cracked all over, seemingly on the verge of exploding the very next moment. "How is this possible? Whether in physical strength or all manner of techniques, he is actually this powerful... Who on earth is he?" Shock filled his eyes; he could scarcely believe it. The reason was simple: in the clash just now, he had felt a suffocating pressure in his heart. It went so far as mortal peril—yes, mortal peril. Never had he imagined that against someone at the exact same realm, not only would he be no match, but more terrifyingly, the other person genuinely seemed capable of killing him. No! Absolutely not! He roared in his heart and let out a thunderous bellow. Instantly, the surrounding space shattered, torn with gaping rifts. His entire being dissolved into a streak of radiance as immense power burst forth, causing the heavens to tremble. The power of the Grotto-Heaven Laws, Creation Laws, and Heavenly Position Laws swirled around his body. In the next instant, facing Lu Yuan, he struck out with the strongest attack of his life. "Lu Yuan, be careful!" In the distance, Jiang Ningxian's face changed as she saw this, and she shouted out. She knew that the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal was putting his life on the line for a desperate strike. Lu Yuan? This person is actually Lu Yuan? Upon hearing the name, the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal was shaken to his core, filled with disbelief. In his impression, this Lu Yuan should have entered the Immortal Realm only recently, an absolute junior among juniors. Yet now, how could he have directly attained the Heavenly Position Immortal realm? In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally, his expression shifted. He realized that if the person before him truly was Lu Yuan, then no matter what, he could not be allowed to live. To reach the Heavenly Position Immortal realm in such a short time—what would the next step be? A Supreme Immortal? Or perhaps surpassing Supreme Immortals in the future? If so, the plans of the Ji clan and the Eternal Clan would run into massive trouble. This brat cannot be spared! In an instant, after countless thoughts flashed through his mind, the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal channeled his power to the absolute limit once more, determined to completely slaughter the person before him. In his heart, this man would become a catastrophic threat; he could not be left alive under any circumstances. Lu Yuan naturally sensed his opponent's intentions, but his gaze remained unchanged. Even if this man brought out his most formidable technique, it was still of little consequence to him. Taking a step forward, Lu Yuan extended his palm, and the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm manifested. Ancient monasteries and temples emerged within the cosmos. In the next instant, the Heavenly Position Immortal's movements were completely bound. Ever since Lu Yuan reached the Heavenly Position Immortal realm, he knew that no one in the same realm could rival him anymore. Those remaining who could contest him were likely only Supreme Immortals—beings at the pinnacle of immortality. So what if the opponent fought with his life on the line? Lu Yuan did not care in the slightest. As for the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal, seeing his own predicament, he fell into utter panic. He had never imagined that even after unleashing his strongest technique, it would still prove utterly futile. Just how strong is this man?
