Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 353. Success, Strength Soars, Complete Suppression

Outside Earth, within the starfield, many Outer Cosmos beings had gathered.

Their auras were all powerful, and they were at least in the fifth stage of evolution.

In the region near Earth, there were eighteen existences whose auras were especially terrifying.

The might they displayed seemed capable of shattering stars.

Layer after layer of powerful energy emerged from these beings.

Originally, with their strength, they would be an immensely powerful fighting force no matter where they went. They could even conquer an entire starfield.

But now, because of the emergence of another aura, all of these existences were being completely suppressed.

At the very center was a radiance that had reached maximum brilliance.

That light was formed from powerful Heaven-Earth energy, and it had now gathered entirely around Lu Yuan.

"How is this possible? How did he break into the Great Sage Realm in such a short time?"

"Could this man's talent truly be comparable to those Holy Sons and Saintesses?"

"No. We absolutely cannot allow him to continue growing."

At this moment, after sensing that intense aura, the Great Sages were completely shocked.

They could clearly tell that Lu Yuan had already broken through the barrier between the Lesser Sage Realm and the Great Sage Realm.

Right now, he was adapting to the power of the Great Sage Realm.

But one had to know that barely a minute had passed since his breakthrough. How could he progress so fast?

Everyone understood that they could not allow Lu Yuan to continue. Otherwise, a great disaster would occur.

They immediately prepared to act and stop him.

Unfortunately, the moment Lu Yuan decided to break through, fate had already been set in stone.

As the power within him continued to grow, an indescribably terrifying aura spread from him.

Compared to before, it was fundamentally different.

However, before Lu Yuan even had time to adapt, he saw the eighteen Great Sages led by Ji Hongyu charging toward him.

Without another word, he merely raised his hand slightly.

Jade Emperor's Divine Thunder Art.

Rumble.

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning surged through the starry sky.

This was no longer ordinary lightning, but a sea of lightning.

It stretched across ten thousand miles.

It was bigger than some countries on Earth, and even more terrifying than some small stars. Within it was an aura of destruction.

Thunder arts had always represented the power of the heavens, but every time Lu Yuan had used them in the past, their might had not been especially great.

The most fundamental reason was that his strength had not been sufficient then.

But now, Lu Yuan had already reached the Great Sage Realm.

One more step, and he would be an Immortal.

With such strength, he was an existence that could not be ignored, not only on Earth, but even across the entire cosmos.

At this moment, facing the combined assault of eighteen Great Sages, he made no unnecessary movements.

He simply used Jade Emperor's Divine Thunder Art.

He wanted to test just how powerful he had become.

The result was astonishing.

Under the violent lightning, all of the Great Sages were completely engulfed.

Even though they were powerful, they still had no way to resist. They could not even escape.

Under that sea of lightning, the faces of Ji Hongyu and the other Great Sages grew increasingly pale, and their bodies began to tremble.

Not long ago, when Lu Yuan had fought Ji Hongyu, they were evenly matched.

Although Lu Yuan had yet to use his strongest power then, now that he had just broken into the Great Sage Realm, he had suppressed all eighteen Great Sages, Ji Hongyu included.

That was right. Suppressed.

He had not expended much effort at all.

"It seems that after reaching the Great Sage Realm, my strength has indeed undergone an earth-shaking transformation. No wonder it was always suppressed by the power of the Separation of Heaven and Earth. If such power descended upon Earth, moving mountains and overturning seas would be really easy."

Lu Yuan sighed softly, knowing that his current strength had once again multiplied.

This power, if placed on Earth, could indeed be called that of a true god.

Of course, he also knew that as Earth continued its recovery, that world would only become more stable. In the future, even Immortals would find it difficult to shake it.

Without thinking further, Lu Yuan raised his head and looked toward the eighteen Great Sages, who were now in an utterly wretched state.

"You said earlier that you wanted me to remain in outer space. Why aren't you attacking now?"

His voice was very calm, but it carried an overwhelming pressure.

Ji Hongyu said nothing, but the other Great Sages trembled one by one.

Everyone knew that Lu Yuan now completely possessed the strength to kill them.

Seeing that none of them dared to speak, Lu Yuan gave a faint smile, then shifted his gaze to Zhou Yunqiong not far away.

In an instant, killing intent surged out from around him.

This had been his goal from the very beginning.

"Lu Yuan, stop."

Seeing this, Ji Hongyu immediately spoke. "I know about the grudge between you and her, but Zhou Yunqiong has caught the eye of a significant figure in my clan. If you attack her, you will be making yourself a true enemy of the entire Ji Clan. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear that price."

Ji Hongyu knew that the significant figure truly valued Zhou Yunqiong, though he did not know why.

Now, regardless of the reason, he had to protect her.

"Noisy."

The next moment, Lu Yuan attacked directly.

A bolt of lightning appeared in the starry sky.

In the next instant, it completely enveloped Ji Hongyu. His entire body shattered, and his physical form vanished in an instant.

With a single strike, a Great Sage died just like that.

As for Lu Yuan, his expression did not change in the slightest.

Even at a time like this, Ji Hongyu was still using the Ji Clan to threaten him.

If that had been useful, would things have developed to this point?

Lu Yuan shook his head and took a step forward.

Zhou Yunqiong wanted to flee, but she could not.

At this moment, Lu Yuan had already reached the Great Sage Realm. He was no longer merely invincible under Earth's starry skies. Even within the current Milky Way Starfield, he was an invincible existence. Among these Outer Cosmos beings, not one could threaten him.

"Do you... Do you really intend to kill me?" Zhou Yunqiong looked at the person before her, her expression a mix of complicated emotions.

She totally could not understand it. Every time, she clearly saw Lu Yuan being forced into a dead end.

But in the end?

It had all been her own wishful thinking.

Every single time, he was able to overturn the situation.

This time, he had even broken directly into the Great Sage Realm.

"I already gave you my answer back in the Kunlun Secret Realm."

There was not the slightest emotion in Lu Yuan's voice as he looked at her coldly. Then he continued, "I know that a powerful existence stands behind you, and he must have given you some means of protecting yourself. While you still have the chance, take it out now. Otherwise, you will not have another opportunity."

Since Zhou Yunqiong had been able to obtain a Death-Exemption Talisman, she was clearly extremely important in the eyes of the Ji Clan. Killing her would not be easy.

However, Lu Yuan had already made sufficient preparations. He was fearless.

"Fine."

Hearing this, Zhou Yunqiong took a deep breath.

Then she took out a mirror from her sleeve.

The mirror was ancient and simple, with streams of purple light slowly flowing across its surface. It looked extraordinarily remarkable.
