Chapter 266. Instant Annihilation, Majestic Heavenly Might, Fireworks Splendor
Rumble.Violet thunder dragons descended upon the world, their might seemed capable of destroying everything. The fierce radiance they shed was even more dazzling than the sun.
Lu Yuan stood at the center of it all, his figure calm and unmoving, like the sovereign of thunder.
In the distance, as the thunder dragons descended, the three Void Sages had already unleashed their strongest methods to defend themselves.
They knew very well that the man before them was far too powerful and despite being in the same realm, possessed strength that could crush all opposition. He appeared to have only just stepped into the Sage Realm, yet he was someone who absolutely could not be judged by common sense.
As such, they could only fight with all they had. As long as they could hold on for even a brief instant, their next move would be to find a way to escape this place.
This was the thought shared by all three.
Continuing the fight was impossible. Even with their own strength, plus all those behind them, they likely still would not be a match for him.
No one was willing to throw away their life, not even Sage Realm experts. The disparity between the two sides was already painfully clear.
But the three Sages were still thinking too simply.
Once Lu Yuan chose to act, he would leave no one any chance.
As he watched the three Sages resist with all their strength, not the slightest ripple of emotion stirred in his eyes. He immediately poured even more power into his attack.
Rumble—
The thunder dragons grew even more violent.
Each one spanned over hundred of meters, resplendent as heavenly wrath itself. They seemed to come alive, and the destructive force contained within them became even more terrifying.
One had to know that Lu Yuan had already stepped into the Sage Realm. He had begun to comprehend heaven and earth, and under such circumstances, the Jade Emperor's Divine Thunder Art would only become stronger.
Boom!
Soon, coupled with a violent roar, the three thunder dragons pierced straight downward.
Pfft.
In just an instant, the three Void Sages suffered a devastating blow.
Their massive bodies split open beneath the might of the thunder, blood seeping from the cracks as though they would shatter apart completely at any moment.
We would definitely die at this rate!
That was the first thought to flash through the minds of the three Void Sages. Even their souls trembled.
At last, the Yin Sparrow Void Sage, who had just moments ago stood so high above the rest, immediately cried out, "Sage Lu, this is all a misunderstanding. We meant no harm."
He yielded.
There was no other choice. He simply could not hold on. If he died, everything would be lost cause.
As for dignity, who still cared about that now?
That was why, at this moment, he directly addressed Lu Yuan as Sage Lu.
But Lu Yuan seemed not to hear him at all.
He did not even bother to reply. Raising a hand, his entire body blazed with light as golden vital qi surged like a vast sea, covering the entire surrounding region.
Then he spoke once more in a nonchalant manner, "Die."
It was only a single, simple word. Yet it sounded like a decree delivered by the heavens themselves.
The world shook as the power of thunder converged once more and bombarded the three Void Sages again.
Booooom!
The violent noise drowned out everything.
That harsh violet radiance was so intense that no one could even open their eyes.
The three Void Sages, with their immense bodies, were instantly obliterated. Their flesh and blood were ground away by the power of thunder.
When all the light and that destructive aura finally vanished, the sky above was left clear and pristine, washed clean and bright.
There was no trace of the three Void Sages left behind.
Not even a remnant of their aura could be sensed.
They were dead.
Killed in a single strike.
When the Outer Cosmos beings who had come here saw this scene, every last one of them stood dumbstruck, their scalps tingling with terror.
Less than a minute had passed since the moment Lu Yuan made his move. Yet the three Void Sages had only managed to endure for the briefest moment.
Their fleshy bodies, down to their soul, had been completely erased. Nothing remained.
It was as though they had never existed in this world at all.
Such power plunged them all into fear.
After killing the three Void Sages, Lu Yuan slowly turned his head and cast his gaze toward them.
Hum—
What followed was pressure so overwhelming it reached the extreme.
Almost all the Outer Cosmos beings felt as though Mount Tai itself were crashing down upon them.
For a time, their entire bodies trembled, because they all discovered that there was not the slightest trace of emotion in Lu Yuan's eyes.
Lu Yuan said, "It's your turn next."
His voice remained as calm as ever, yet the aura laced within grew even more formidable. This was the presence of a true powerhouse in the fullest sense of the word.
"Sage Lu of the human race, we know we were wrong. We beg your magnanimity. Please do not hold this against us. We will leave at once."
"That's right. From this day forward, we will surely coexist peacefully with Earth's living beings."
"Please show mercy and spare our lives."
All the Outer Cosmos beings were thrown into complete panic.
They knew very well that with Lu Yuan's current strength, once he chose to strike, not a single one of them would survive.
At the same time, some among them were still thinking furiously. More than a hundred races had come to Mount Tai this time, with over ten thousand individuals in total, and none of the powers behind them were weak. Perhaps this human Lu Yuan would feel some measure of restraint or fear.
Perhaps that was their chance to live.
"When you do something, you must pay the price."
Lu Yuan's response was simple.
Just one sentence.
All along, Lu Yuan had never been some benevolent soul. His heart was incomparably resolute.
If not for him, the human race of Earth would certainly have been forced into battle with these Outer Cosmos beings today.
When that happened, how many innocent people would have been dragged into the conflict?
So in such circumstances, Lu Yuan did not hesitate the slightest bit.
A powerful aura surged from his body. All of his golden vital qi converged, transforming into the Great Sun's Furnace.
Majestic heavenly might shook the heavens as it swept down in an instant, like a hundred thousand volcanoes erupting at once, making both sky and earth tremble.
This was only the power of his fleshly body. He had not even used any divine ability. Lu Yuan was merely revealing, without the slightest reservation, the strength of his Sage Realm cultivation.
Yet even so, it was already terrifying beyond measure.
Among those Outer Cosmos beings, the strongest were only at the Venerable King Realm. Beneath that golden vital qi and the Great Sun's Furnace, none of them could endure. Their bodies split open, then burst apart.
Pfft!
Pfft!
For a time, blood of every color spilled out, interweaving as the droplets dripped onto the earth.
The scene resembled the most brilliant fireworks blooming in the world.
Only those Outer Cosmos beings were the ones exploding one after another.
On the human side, the Awakened and the upper echelon alike were all stunned by the sight. Not a single word could be spoken. Such might was truly like heavenly wrath, like a myth coming alive.
The Sage Realm.
This was the Sage Realm.
Or rather, this was King Lu's Sage Realm.
He slaughtered those enemies without even lifting a hand, relying on nothing more than his overwhelming presence.
Seeing this, Elder Ji and Elder Yun exchanged a glance. Both had the same thought. Old men like them truly ought to step aside now. The new era belonged to the younger generation. All they needed to do was remain behind and cultivate even more outstanding powerhouses for the Celestial Court.
Very soon, accompanied by a final peal of thunder, more than ten thousand Outer Cosmos beings were wiped out.
Not a single survivor remained.
Lu Yuan paid no attention at all to where these beings had come from, nor to which race they belonged.
Those who had come to Mount Tai at a time like this to cause trouble were enemies.
And since they were enemies, he would suppress them with absolute force.
As for whether this would breed hatred and vengeance?
He had no fear.
Still, at the very end, Lu Yuan left a few people alive.
The five elders of the Zhou family.
He turned and looked over.
Not far away stood those five, already terrified beyond all measure.
Then he spoke softly, "Now, it's time for the Zhou family."
