Chapter 318. Choosing to Join Forces, Twisting the Truth, Kill Them All!
Within the Immortal's Cave, the final region, Lu Yuan stood calmly where he was with his hands clasped behind his back.
The words he had just spoken still echoed in the ears of everyone present.
Even though he knew that every single Outer Cosmos being present bore ill will toward him and wished to make a move, he remained completely unflustered, just as calm and composed as before, as though there was nothing in this world capable of stirring any great fluctuation in his emotions.
At this moment, Lu Yuan looked at all the Outer Cosmos beings present. It was as if he were waiting for them to act.
And yet, at this very moment, every Outer Cosmos being who met his gaze instinctively looked away.
There was no helping it. Since the time of their descent, the pressure this man had imposed upon them had simply been too great.
Every time he acted, he did so with overwhelming power. Before even becoming a Sage, he had already been capable of killing Sages.
How many people could achieve such a feat?
And then there had been that time when the various races forced their way up Mount Tai.
Back then, they had all believed victory was assured.
But what had been the result? He had still suppressed them all by his own strength alone.
There had been no room whatsoever for resistance. Those Sages had not even been able to stir the slightest ripple.
The current situation did not seem all that different from then. They all understood very clearly in their hearts that if a true fight broke out, they themselves would certainly not be his match.
"We come from the Outer Cosmos. The inheritances of cultivation and evolution we each possess are all at least ten thousand years old. As for this human, Lu Yuan, he has only risen to this point by riding the winds of the Milky Way Starfield's awakening. His strength is indeed formidable, but can he truly contend against all of us?"
At this moment, Lei Xiao of the Celestials suddenly spoke, his gaze cold as he continued, "There are now over a hundred Sages here, and the Eternals have joined forces with us as well.
"There is no need to fear him. We can simply strike."
The grudge between the Celestials and Lu Yuan ran deep. It had started as far back as the time of the Zhou family and the Winged Celestial God.
If an opportunity for revenge existed, they would naturally not hesitate.
That was exactly what Lei Xiao was thinking now. After all, not long ago, his own clan's attempt to intercept Yinglong had failed, and all of them had been killed.
The one responsible had been Lu Yuan.
Now that they had met again, and with the Eternals standing alongside them, plus over a hundred Sages, this might well be an opportunity.
"That's right. If we all join forces, what storm can he possibly stir up?" Yu Heng also spoke, his eyes cold with hostility.
In his heart, Lu Yuan's strength was indeed greater than his own, but not by some impossible margin. If he truly cast everything aside and fought with all his might, and with helpers at his side, the outcome would naturally be different.
As a member of the Eternals, he had no wish to remain suppressed. He wanted to regain his standing.
Now that the great races of the various starfields had already joined forces, this was an opportunity.
"I agree as well. We have been suppressed for far too long. Are we supposed to continue like this forever?"
An Yin Sparrow Sage then chimed in. "Exactly. So long as the human Lu Yuan remains, there will be no chance for any of us to truly rise. If we do not kill him now, then every time we seek fortune in the future, he will stand in our way. We must act now!"
Its own strength was tremendous, hovering at the peak of the Void Sage Realm, only one step away from the Lesser Sage Realm. That was why it had the confidence to speak in this manner.
"That's right. Strike now."
"Kill Lu Yuan, and there will no longer be anyone in this world capable of suppressing us."
"So long as he dies, everything that appears in the future will be in our grasp."
At last, the Outer Cosmos beings all grew excited one after another after hearing the words of the greater races. Although the various races also bore their own grudges against each other, and even wished one another dead, they all understood very clearly what mattered most at this moment.
Kill Lu Yuan.
And so, at this very point, after weighing everything, they finally reached a common conclusion.
They would act.
"You people are far too wordy, and far too timid. Shall I make the decision for you?"
After hearing their conversation, Lu Yuan shook his head. He no longer wished to waste any more time.
He directly stepped forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, golden vital qi surged forth and transformed into an ocean. At the same time, streak after streak of lightning coiled around his body. He seemed to have turned into a god.
A terrifying pressure erupted from him as the center.
At this moment, Lu Yuan showed no sign whatsoever of stopping. He took a step, and the surrounding space trembled.
In almost the next instant, he appeared directly before the Yin Sparrow Sage, then threw out a punch.
This is bad!
Upon seeing this, the Yin Sparrow Sage immediately shouted, "What are you all waiting for? He's already made the first move!"
With that, it mustered the strongest power in it in an attempt to block that punch. But unfortunately, the gap between them was simply too great.
Boom!
With a loud crash, an overwhelming force erupted.
The Yin Sparrow Sage had no room whatsoever to resist and was blasted backward directly. A huge mouthful of blood burst from its nose and mouth.
At the same time, it could no longer maintain its human body and reverted to its true form. Yet, even that enormous body was now covered in cracks.
It looked like a piece of porcelain, as though the lightest touch would shatter it completely. Even its aura had become feeble.
"See? It is not we who seek trouble! He was the one who attacked first. If this man is not removed, sooner or later he will take the lives of everyone here. Ultimately, he is still a native of the Milky Way Starfield; he's also cruel and bloodthirsty. What are you all waiting for?"
At this moment, Lei Xiao of the Celestials directly seized upon the opening, seeking to ignite the fury of everyone present. Then they would stand fully together with him and kill Lu Yuan within this mythical secret realm.
But as he said this, he seemed to have forgotten that it was he who had wanted to trouble Lu Yuan first.
This was a complete inversion of truth, a completely different narrative.
"Everyone, if not now, then when?" Yu Heng of the Eternals immediately followed up after Lei Xiao.
But he knew that empty words alone would be useless.
So the moment his words fell, he did not hesitate in the slightest. The divine halo behind his head emitted streak after streak of light, and a powerful aura erupted from his body.
The others would only follow after he made a move.
Boom!
A powerful presence swept outward in an instant. Lei Xiao seemed to understand the thought in Yu Heng's mind and moved at once as well.
Crackle!
Streak after streak of lightning burst from Lei Xiao's body.
These two stood at the Lesser Sage Realm, and both possessed extraordinary talent and fearsome combat strength. At this moment, with the two of them joining forces, the pressure they released was incomparably immense.
When the Outer Cosmos beings of the other races saw this, the hesitation in their hearts finally vanished.
They chose to unite.
"Kill!"
"Kill Lu Yuan and end this suppression!"
They shouted as they circulated all the power within them.
Everyone knew that they had to seize this chance and kill him. Otherwise, there would be endless future troubles.
As for Lu Yuan, a smile appeared on his face.
Today, he could kill to his heart's content!
