Just like that, an Extraterrestrial Demon had died.
In the blink of an eye, he was utterly obliterated.
There had been no resistance whatsoever.
He had failed to pose even the slightest threat to Lu Yuan.
Watching this, Zhu Qingyu and the others were completely stunned.
After all, they had clearly felt the tremendous pressure radiating from that Extraterrestrial Demon just moments earlier.
It far surpassed the four Heavenly Position Immortals of the two major factions from before. They had initially expected a fierce, drawn-out battle, but who could have foreseen such an outcome? It had defied all expectations.
That Extraterrestrial Demon had only displayed his ferocity for a fleeting moment before ceasing to exist.
As for Jiang Ningxian, she knew that Lu Yuan’s cultivation had not changed much since before.
Yet his actual combat prowess had grown even more formidable.
The reason was simple.
He had likely adapted fully to the power of a Heavenly Position Immortal.
Thus, she was well aware that the outcome of the ensuing battle was already set in stone.
Naturally, the remaining twelve Extraterrestrial Demons were even more shocked, still frozen in place.
They seemed to be trying to recall what had just transpired. How could a being on par with themselves be obliterated in an instant? It was utterly inconceivable.
Could this man already be a being at the peak of Heaven Rank?
Yet they felt no such aura from him.
Moreover, the Extraterrestrial Demons had already gathered intelligence beforehand.
The strongest existence in this universe was merely at the peak of Heaven Rank.
Furthermore, their numbers were extremely limited, and one had even perished earlier.
Thus, they could deduce that the man before them had definitely not reached that realm.
Why, then, did he possess such combat strength?
"This man is very strong."
"It seems hunting him down one-on-one is impossible."
"This descent actually offers some challenge. Let us strike together."
The Extraterrestrial Demons spoke one after another. They possessed none of the so-called pride of the mighty.
Once they sensed that Lu Yuan was not easily dealt with, they immediately resolved to attack as one.
After all, their descent came with a mission that could not afford any failure.
It concerned the grand schemes of their ancestors.
The next instant, all twelve Extraterrestrial Demons stepped forward in unison.
"Step back and look after yourselves. At the same time, observe the abilities of these Extraterrestrial Demons," Lu Yuan said.
He knew very well that among the foreign invaders descending, not all would possess Immortal Realm strength.
There would surely be far more enemies to come. Now, he could use this battle to let Zhu Qingyu and the others witness their specific abilities and power. As for the rest, there was no need to dwell on it for now.
This had been his fundamental reason for gathering everyone here—to let them understand the enemy in advance.
Zhu Qingyu and the others understood this clearly, each nodding solemnly.
Without another word, Lu Yuan stepped forward at a measured pace.
His aura expanded outward, blanketing the entirety of Mount Longhu.
Following its metamorphosis, Mount Longhu had expanded greatly in size.
He unleashed his aura solely to reinforce the surrounding world a bit more.
That way, when the clash began, it would not cause excessive destruction.
He had no choice; after all, they were on Earth.
Without doing this, heavens knew what state Mount Longhu would be left in after the battle.
Opposite him, the twelve Extraterrestrial Demons showed no restraint.
Black mist surged forth from their bodies, sweeping outward and enshrouding everything. In that instant, their presence seemed to vanish entirely.
Yet an overwhelming power burst out, engulfing the heavens and the earth.
Rumble!
Black lightning crackled and roared.
Lu Yuan sensed it instantly and threw a punch in response.
Boom!
The heavens shook, and the earth trembled.
Both sides had finally clashed.
This time, it was one against twelve.
Lu Yuan felt nothing about it. He had experienced situations like this far too many times.
So many that they were beyond counting. No matter how strong the enemies were or how numerous they appeared, a single conviction always remained steadfast in his heart:
Fight, and conquer!
Thus, regardless of what opponent he faced, Lu Yuan's combat strength was always extraordinarily fierce. That was also one of the main reasons he emerged as the ultimate victor in every battle, just as when he had slain a Heavenly Position Immortal with the power of a Creation Immortal.
Though the process had seemed effortless on the surface, it had actually been fraught with difficulty.
At the same time, many factors had been at play. The Domain Lord of the Celestial Clan, for instance, had lost all will to fight by the very end, thoroughly cowed by Lu Yuan’s might.
Under such circumstances, how could that Domain Lord ever have been a match for Lu Yuan?
And this time, even facing twelve Extraterrestrial Demons who each rivaled a Heavenly Position Immortal, Lu Yuan remained utterly fearless. The power of blood vitality within him grew increasingly dense.
The Extraterrestrial Demons also recognized that the man before them was formidable.
Every single one brought forth their true capabilities.
As the clash unfolded, Lu Yuan threw only the simplest of punches.
Yet his fists seemed capable of shattering the heavens and the earth.
The Extraterrestrial Demons could clearly sense the terrifying power bursting from his strikes; meeting them head-on was completely out of the question.
In fact, the longer they fought, the more they felt the terrifying might radiating from within Lu Yuan.
They were utterly astonished, but they also knew that they had to bring out their true strength.
Otherwise, the outcome of this battle would be sealed.
Instantly, layer upon layer of black mist churned around the twelve Extraterrestrial Demons.
Unlike before, this mist carried a chilling coldness accompanied by an inexplicable power.
This was the innate gift of the Heaven-Forsaken Clan, the formidable weapon with which they conquered various worlds. Anyone lacking sufficient strength would easily be suppressed by this power until they could not unleash their true might at all.
As this force manifested, even Lu Yuan felt a certain pressure.
The aura within him felt completely suppressed, and his soul seemed constricted as well.
Yet he did not panic in the slightest, remaining calmly in place.
With a thought, he summoned the power of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Token.
In truth, Lu Yuan knew this was one of the Extraterrestrial Demons' greatest reliance, but he happened to hold a powerful counter to this power—destiny power.
Rumble!
In an instant, as the power of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Token manifested, the black mist seemed to freeze solid on the spot.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yuan struck out with a fist.
This punch carried the might of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Token.
In a split second, all the black mist vanished completely.
The twelve Extraterrestrial Demons stumbled backward in succession, incessantly coughing up mouthfuls of black blood as they stared at Lu Yuan in sheer disbelief!
