Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Mount Tai was the very core of the Celestial Court. Its upper echelons were all gathered here. It could be said that this place was the true central hub of all Huaxia.

The five supercities, along with every directive issued, all originated from here.

Under such circumstances, no one was permitted to enter it at will unless they had been granted access.

So when that squad of Celestial Court members saw that the mysterious youth simply ignored their words without the slightest reaction, they immediately stepped forward one after another, drawing their weapons as the power within their bodies surged forth at the same time.

In an instant, rings of light emerged around them, shooting upward into the sky.

After all, each of them had reached the Golden Body Realm.

Setting aside beings from the Outer Cosmos, they absolutely counted among the foremost experts.

Yet, the mysterious youth in green merely glanced at them before casually waving his left hand.

A powerful force burst forth at once.

In an instant, that entire squad composed of Golden Body Realm cultivators was sent stumbling backward, their auras turning unstable.

However, the youth did not seem to intend to injure anyone, so they were not truly harmed.

"I only want to have a look. There is no need for this."

He did not grow angry. Instead, he flashed a faint smile, then slowly rose into the air, continuing his approach toward Mount Tai.

To him, the mountain before his eyes was truly mysterious.

That strange and unfathomable aura surrounding it only made him want to probe further.

He had long heard of this mountain's great name back in his clan, and now that he had finally seen it with his own eyes, he naturally could not restrain the curiosity in his heart.

At that very moment, several more figures appeared.

"Halt where you are. Take another step forward, and do not blame us for being impolite."

They were Chunyang and Monk Huikong.

Behind the two of them stood dozens more Golden Body Realm experts, all blocking his path.

In addition, more and more auras were emerging from the surrounding area.

It was clear that the disturbance just now had already drawn many people's attention, and they were beginning to rush over.

Still, Chunyang could tell that the youth before him bore no killing intent, so he did not immediately order an attack.

"Humans from the Milky Way Starfield who have embarked on the path of evolution? All of you seem rather impressive."

At the sight of this, the youth's eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of his lips curved up into a slight smile.

Without another word, he took a single step and appeared in midair.

The very next moment, an exceptionally powerful aura erupted from his body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

That aura was overwhelmingly strong, and spread outward in an instant.

Instantly, everyone present, including Chunyang, felt as though their entire bodies were being crushed beneath a massive mountain.

No matter how many methods they possessed, none of them could use them for the time being.

This was absolute suppression born of sheer strength.

"The Sage Realm. This person has already reached the Sage Realm," Monk Huikong spoke, visibly shaken.

He knew that the youth before them was likely a being from the Outer Cosmos, but he had not expected him to possess such terrifying power. He looked even younger than Huikong himself, yet he had already reached the Sage Realm.

Of course, he also knew that some things could not be judged by outward appearances alone.

But still, when had Sages become so easy to find?

Chunyang had realized it as well. Shock surfaced on his face.

But he knew this was not the time for recklessness, so he immediately said, "Our King Lu is inside. Please stop here. Otherwise, I'm afraid this matter will not end well."

At this stage, the only one capable of threatening beings from the Outer Cosmos, and could truly make these existences wary was basically King Lu.

Thus, Chunyang hoped to use that fact to force the other party to withdraw.

Otherwise, with the strength of those present alone, there was simply no way they could stop him.

"Oh? You mean that human, Lu Yuan?" The mysterious youth's interest was immediately piqued. "Good. Then have him come out. I came here this time precisely because I wanted to fight him."

His expression was eager, as though he greatly anticipated it, and the aura around him grew even denser than before.

Those words left Chunyang and the others stunned. For a moment, none of them could say anything.

Could it be that those beings from the Outer Cosmos all knew that King Lu was in seclusion?

A tremor ran through everyone's hearts.

Could it be that the youth had deliberately come at this time?

If so, then what came next was bound to be troublesome.

"My master is not someone you can see just because you wish to."

At that very moment, another voice rang out, accompanied by waves of formidable aura.

It was the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the Spirit Monkey, the Peacock King, and the other beast kings. All of them had more or less reached the Venerable King Realm, and their strength was considerably greater. The moment they sensed the descent of a Sage, they immediately came down from Mount Tai.

They had only just arrived when they heard those words, and so they all rushed forward at once.

Even though they knew the youth was a Sage and that everyone present might still not be a match for him even if they had attacked together.

But now, Lu Yuan was in seclusion.

There was no way they could retreat at a time like this.

The Peacock King and the other beast kings, in particular, released their auras without the slightest hesitation.

They all understood that at such a critical moment, they could not allow this person to disturb Lu Yuan. Even if it meant paying a tremendous price, it would still be worth it.

"Beasts from the Milky Way Starfield?

"The Golden-Winged Great Peng, and one of the Peacock Clan... So this truly is a land where the Great Age is rising. To think such bloodlines really exist here."

When the youth saw those beast kings, he could not help but feel somewhat surprised.

He knew those creatures belonged to Mythical Bloodlines.

Even across the entire starry sky, they were exceedingly rare. The ones before him simply had not yet fully matured but there was no doubt that their potential was immense.

The Peacock King had no way of knowing what the other party was thinking and immediately said, "Now, withdraw from the boundaries of Mount Tai."

It remembered Lu Yuan's words before entering seclusion.

"Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to come into conflict with beings from the Outer Cosmos."

Especially not now, when the one before them was a Sage.

"Withdraw? That is impossible. On the contrary, I would like to see just how far the current Milky Way Starfield has revived.

The mysterious youth smiled and said no more. He simply raised one hand.

Behind him, a great sun emerged, radiating incomparably dazzling brilliance as it rose directly into the heavens.

In an instant, an overwhelmingly powerful pressure descended, causing the entire Trials Academy to tremble.

The youth seemed as though he were about to transform into a god of the great sun.

Looking down from above, the pressure he exuded made everyone present, whether beast kings or humans, feel an immense strain.

The Peacock King was inwardly alarmed.

He had already been in the Venerable King Realm for some time, and before long he would be able to enter the Sage Realm himself.

Yet this person was absolutely no ordinary Sage.

He was strong. Far stronger than the Outer Cosmos Sages the Peacock King had encountered before.

No wonder he dared to intrude upon Mount Tai all by himself.

It turned out that he possessed absolute confidence in his own strength.

But even so, they still could not allow him to step onto Mount Tai nor let him interfere with King Lu's seclusion.

At this moment, the thoughts of everyone present were astonishingly aligned.

"Oh? You intend to resist? Good."

Appreciation surfaced in the youth's eyes. He wanted to see just how far these lifeforms from Earth could go, and was preparing to increase the pressure further.

Yet very quickly, he frowned and turned to look in another direction.

From there, an exceptionally tyrannical aura was already sweeping toward him.
