These silhouettes each bore powerful auras, constantly exuding an inexplicable might.
Their very appearance seemed to warp the surrounding space. The power radiating from them was exceedingly formidable, at least on the level of Creation Immortals.
In other words, they were already touching Heaven Rank.
Whether in sheer strength or other aspects, they were extraordinarily powerful.
"After spending so much time, our people can finally begin our descent. Those who spearheaded the vanguard earlier seem to have completely perished, but no matter. Now that we have arrived, nothing will pose a problem anymore."
At that moment, one of the silhouettes spoke. His voice was resounding, making space itself tremble. Moreover, upon Mount Longhu, the apparitions of the dragon and tiger roared incessantly toward the sky, as if demonstrating their might.
"The power of order in this place has not yet fully reformed."
"Seniors at the peak of Heaven Rank cannot descend completely for the time being."
"Therefore, we must first conquer this land."
Another figure spoke, sensing the shifts on Earth with amusement in his voice. To invade this world, they had prepared for an extraordinarily long time, joining forces entirely with the Eternal Clan and the Ji clan. It could be said that they had deployed formidable means on all fronts, and prior to this, they had even dispatched a contingent of impure-blooded clansmen to descend.
Now, everything was prepared, and their descent had officially begun.
Yet they were also well aware that if they wished for their people to descend in full, there were still preparations to be made.
The peak of Heaven Rank was, in other words, the level of a Supreme Immortal.
"Good. Then let us begin directly."
With that said, the silhouettes fully solidified atop the black altar. Their auras grew increasingly dense, and their formidable might began to affect this world.
Meanwhile, at Mount Tai.
Lu Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
At this moment, he sensed a power distinct from this world.
Jiang Ningxian also ascended Mount Tai, her gaze solemn. The two merely exchanged a glance and knew the situation had shifted—someone had descended. Without a second thought, it had to be the extraterrestrial heavenly demons.
"Go, gather the core members of the Heavenly Court. We will go see just how strong this batch of extraterrestrial heavenly demons truly is."
Lu Yuan stood up. The power of blood vitality within him began to roar, and a terrifying aura manifested across his body, rippling outward with him at the center.
Extraterrestrial heavenly demons?
It was not as if he had never slain one before.
Now, he would lead his subordinates to see what these beings were capable of.
Jiang Ningxian naturally had no objections and immediately set off to make preparations.
When Zhu Qingyu and the others learned of the extraterrestrial heavenly demons, every one of them felt as though facing a great enemy. Before this, they had basically only heard tales of such beings, never having seen one in person. Facing them now naturally brought a degree of tension, but knowing King Lu would be leading them, they quickly regained their composure. Without unnecessary words, they all assembled atop Jade Emperor Peak.
They knew that the moment to truly face the great enemy was at hand. In the end, they might not need to take action, but setting out this time held extraordinary significance.
Atop Jade Emperor Peak, a group had already gathered—all core figures of the Heavenly Court. Their numbers were not vast, but every one of them was an elite and a future pillar of the Heavenly Court.
Lu Yuan looked at the assembly, his gaze calm. "I believe you all know why I have summoned everyone here. I will not say much else. This time, you may not have to fight, but it will be your first time witnessing the extraterrestrial heavenly demons."
He had chosen not to summon too many people, knowing that numbers were useless against such powerful beings. The crucial point was to let them understand their future opponents.
Therefore, having said this, Lu Yuan waved his hand, and a spatial rift appeared.
Though certain laws of Earth had been altered by the power of the extraterrestrial heavenly demons, he could still traverse the entire world with a single thought. His divine sense could even envelop the whole Earth. Thus, the very moment the extraterrestrial heavenly demons appeared, Lu Yuan already knew they had descended upon Mount Longhu.
Without another word, the group stepped directly into the spatial tunnel.
On the other side, within Mount Longhu, silhouettes stepped out from the black altar.
Sensing Earth's uniqueness, smiles surfaced on their faces.
"Worthy of being the place favored by the Ancestor; it is truly extraordinary. If we can completely seize control of this planet, our grand plan to conquer the universe will surely take a giant stride forward."
Another extraterrestrial heavenly demon spoke with amusement in his tone, seemingly perceiving Earth's distinct nature. Long ago, they had coveted this world—the Xuanhuang Universe. However, every time they chose to make a move, a terrifyingly powerful expert would emerge. Even their various Ancestors could not suppress them at all, and in the end, they could only return empty-handed.
Yet now, according to the calculations of the Heaven-Forsaken Clan, the most powerful being currently in the Xuanhuang Universe was merely at the peak of Heaven Rank, far inferior to their Ancestors. Thus, this was their finest opportunity to invade this world. Having plotted for so long and now successfully descended, in their view, nothing could possibly go wrong this time.
At this moment, the extraterrestrial heavenly demons emerged from the altar—thirteen in total. Every one was formidable, comparable to Creation Immortals or even Heavenly Position Immortals.
They stood atop Mount Longhu, gazing across this world and sensing this universe. Each of them was eager to begin, for they truly sensed no powerful lifeforms.
Yet soon, just as the extraterrestrial heavenly demons prepared to take another step forward, they abruptly halted.
For in the next instant, they all sensed a supremely powerful aura.
Turning their heads, they discovered a spatial tunnel appearing not far away.
Zhu Qingyu was among those stepping out, and upon seeing the extraterrestrial heavenly demons, she could not help but be startled. She found that these extraterrestrial enemies actually looked quite similar to humans, yet in their primordial origin, they seemed entirely distinct.
"Feeble ants."
Feeling himself being scrutinized, one of the extraterrestrial heavenly demons immediately narrowed his eyes. His aura surged forth in rolling waves, intending to slaughter all the ants before him. Black mist also spread outward at that moment.
Rumble!
Yet in the very next instant, a terrifying power of blood vitality surged forth, completely dispersing all the black mist.
At the same time, Lu Yuan stepped forward from behind them, his expression utterly serene.
