In fact, after attaining the realm of a Heavenly Position Immortal, Lu Yuan did not even need to consciously channel any of the divine arts he had previously cultivated to unleash their greatest might.
After all, at this realm, one comprehended various laws and the power of rules—an existence utterly different from before.
And now, having brought out the Daluo Sword Embryo and summoned the sword intent he had previously comprehended, his aura and overbearing might reached a terrifying degree.
So much so that below, upon sensing it, the faces of the four Heavenly Position Immortals shifted drastically.
Perceiving an acute crisis, they wanted to break through the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm and flee right then and there.
Yet Lu Yuan had already resolved to kill. In the very next instant, he appeared directly in front of one of the Ji clan's Heavenly Position Immortals.
Without uttering a word, he slashed out with his sword.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Terrifying sword intent surged forth, peerless and mighty.
The power felt as though it could cleave heaven and earth asunder, horrifying beyond measure.
The Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal's face paled abruptly, and he circulated the strongest power within his body, desperate to parry the strike.
Alas, Lu Yuan's own strength had already surpassed his foe's on every front. What was more, he now wielded the Daluo Sword Embryo.
Pfft!
In the next moment, the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal's body was torn open.
Beneath the immense sword intent, no matter how much power he mustered, he could not withstand it. He could even feel his very soul beginning to tear apart.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
At this moment, he sensed a genuine mortal peril. Desperately channeling all the power in his body, he attempted to mend himself, yet in the very next instant, Lu Yuan slashed out with another sword strike.
Sword light surged forth as though it had become eternity itself, freezing both time and space solid.
Before this Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal could even fully react, his physique and soul were severely battered.
Then, his flame of life began to rapidly dissipate.
Indeed, it had taken only two strikes.
Just two swords had caused the life force of a Heavenly Position Immortal to begin unravelling.
When the other three inside the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm noticed this, their eyes widened in shock.
They had already placed Lu Yuan's strength exceedingly high, knowing that none of them could be his match on their own. Yet they had thought that if they chose to flee, doing so would pose no problem. Never had they imagined that he would need only two strikes to heavily wound an entity at the exact same cultivation realm as themselves.
And looking at the situation, he was already facing imminent death.
Lu Yuan paid no heed to what the others thought.
Knowing that his two sword strikes were not quite enough to obliterate the man completely, he directly reached out with his palm once more.
A mighty aura rippled forth, engulfing the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal.
Then, he squeezed gently.
Squelch!
At this very moment, that Heavenly Position Immortal died completely.
His flame of life dispersed in full.
Dead.
A Heavenly Position Immortal had died just like that.
Whether it was the other three powerhouses inside the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm or the crowd outside, all witnessed such a formidable existence being directly slain so shortly after the battle began.
Above all, Lu Yuan's final action was akin to crushing him like an insect.
Aboard the Eternal Warships, the clansmen of the two great factions were shocked to the extreme upon seeing this, rendered utterly speechless.
"Strike! Break this area open!"
Inside the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, the remaining Heavenly Position Immortals truly felt the impending crisis.
Hesitating no longer, they channeled the greatest power in their bodies, attempting to shatter the art confining them.
Yet after disposing of the first person, Lu Yuan stepped forward and appeared before the remaining three. His expression remained placid and cold, and he struck out once more.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Sword light surged; sword intent galloped forth.
As if endless, it completely engulfed the three.
Helpless, they had no choice but to throw their full strength into parrying.
This strike was truly terrifying; under such circumstances, they dared not let their guard down in the slightest.
Buzz!
As the radiance dissipated, the three Heavenly Position Immortals stumbled back repeatedly, their faces pale.
They had wished for a moment of respite, but at this moment, Lu Yuan took another step forward.
Runes wound around the Daluo Sword Embryo in his hand, ceaselessly swirling.
From every single rune surged endless sword intent. He slowly raised his hand.
All the runes converged, forming a brilliant glow.
Immediately afterward, as Lu Yuan struck with another slash, sword intent blanketed the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.
The scalps of the three Heavenly Position Immortals went numb. They knew with absolute clarity that they had to give their all to block it once again; otherwise, they would inevitably suffer grievous wounds, followed promptly by their death and destruction.
At this moment, bitterness welled incessantly within their hearts. First, they had not anticipated that Lu Yuan would appear.
Next, they had never foreseen that his combat power would be terrifying to such a degree.
If this continued, the outcome...
They desperately wished to flee.
Yet at least for now, it was entirely impossible.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Even as these thoughts raced through their minds, the sword light swept down.
The three Heavenly Position Immortals joined forces, channeling their mightiest power.
At last, they managed to withstand another strike.
However, one of the Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortals was already wounded, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
Four Heavenly Position Immortals had descended in total—two from the Eternal Clan and two from the Ji clan.
Now, one from the Ji clan was dead, and the other was injured...
When the Heavenly Position Immortals of the Eternal Clan realized this, their hearts trembled with even greater shock.
They knew that once another fell, they would be next.
Immediately, they prepared to join forces to brew another strike.
Yet at this time, after unleashing several strikes in rapid succession, Lu Yuan showed no hint of exhaustion. The power within his body swept forth once more, as countless runes transformed into galloping sword intent.
A horrifying aura surged in rolling waves, then plummeted as descending sword light.
Again!
Sensing it, their scalps went numb. Without a second thought, they channeled their power once more to defend.
They were Heavenly Position Immortals, after all.
Even though Lu Yuan had become completely serious and had summoned the Daluo Sword Embryo, obliterating them entirely still required some effort.
More importantly, the three were joining forces.
Yet Lu Yuan was utterly fearless.
His foundation was simply too profound.
He then unleashed five more strikes in succession.
Under these five blows, the remaining three Heavenly Position Immortals could finally hold on no longer and suffered grievous injuries. Among them, the last Ji clan Heavenly Position Immortal, just like the one before him, saw his flame of life begin to flicker out.
As Lu Yuan followed up with one more sword strike, another Heavenly Position Immortal perished on the spot.
That was the second one.
Next would be the two remaining Heavenly Position Immortals of the Eternal Clan.
Lu Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest, but the moment his gaze fell upon those two, a chilling cold engulfed both powerhouses, as though doomsday itself had arrived.
