Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 352. Eighteen Great Sages, the Moment of Breakthrough

This had been Lu Yuan's thought from the very beginning. He did not care what plans or methods the Outer Cosmos beings had prepared, because everything was just illusion in front of absolute strength.

In this era, strength reigned supreme, and the strong were honored. As long as one was powerful enough, the enemy's actions did not matter.

This was Lu Yuan's belief. No matter how many schemes they devised or how many divine abilities they unleashed, he would break through them all with absolute force.

Before him, one Great Sage after another closed in. Each of them released a powerful aura that enveloped the surrounding area.

When all of those auras linked together, the pressure they produced was naturally terrifying beyond measure.

Even the nearby meteoroids began to tremble, flickering between light and darkness.

Ji Hongyu still stood before him.

Around him were the other Great Sages, numbering to a total of eighteen.

They stood there, giving off an overwhelming sense of pressure. They came from different races, so the auras they released were naturally different as well.

Yet without exception, all of them bore immense killing intent toward Lu Yuan. After hearing his words, anger surfaced on each of their faces.

"It seems you still don't understand what kind of situation you're facing. You're actually still as arrogant as before."

"Do you think that you're invincible just because you've reached the Lesser Sage Realm and possess powerful combat strength and talent?"

"I think there's no need to waste any more words on him. Let's attack."

The Great Sages spoke one after another. They looked down from above, gazing at Lu Yuan before them.

They were now in outer space, so the power of the Great Sage Realm was no longer restricted in any way. [1]

Besides, which existence capable of cultivating to such a level had not been a genius in their youth?

Even if some of them were inferior to Rankers, the gap would not be too great.

Naturally, they had their own pride.

Yet now, Lu Yuan, this human, still looked completely unconcerned.

They could not tolerate it. Before this, they had been unable to descend.

But now, things were different.

"Good. Kill this man, then we take full control of the Milky Way Starfield," Ji Hongyu added. Their previous plan to lie low had indeed been complicated by Lu Yuan's existence.

But now, Lu Yuan had actually taken the initiative to leave Earth, the safest place for him. In their eyes, such an act was no different from seeking death.

After he spoke, all the Great Sages present finally said no more and stepped forward at once.

Rumble.

In outer space, ten-thousand-foot bolts of lightning appeared and surged wildly.

Powerful forces gathered together, turning into a vast ocean that flooded the entire region.

The eighteen Great Sages were already immensely powerful. If they attacked at full strength, they could even destroy some smaller stars. These were true mythical tier methods, and now they were joining hands to deal with Lu Yuan.

"You're still far too arrogant." Zhou Yunqiong could not help shaking her head.

In all honesty, she already regretted not accepting Lu Yuan before. After all, this man's growth had surpassed her imagination.

But now, it seemed that after gaining some strength, he no longer held regards for anyone.

Yet he did not understand that the universe was truly vast, and countless powerful beings existed within it. Moreover, above the Sage Realm, there were even the Immortals.

In the end, he would have to pay the price for his arrogance and conceit.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Just as the eighteen Great Sages joined forces, a violent rumble suddenly resounded through the surrounding region.

In an instant, the stars trembled, and boundless light abruptly emerged.

A majestic power swept out like the universe itself was being born, causing everyone present to shudder.

The power was coming from a single direction.

Suddenly, all the Outer Cosmos beings turned their heads, and their expressions changed drastically.

There, Lu Yuan was enveloped in endless radiance. The aura emanating from him grew stronger and stronger with the passage of time. Golden vital qi gathered like boiling magma, and carried a terrifying power.

More importantly, the Heaven-Earth Furnace above his head was also rumbling at this moment.

This change startled all eighteen Great Sages present.

They did not understand what was happening, but one thing was certain.

Lu Yuan now seemed even more dangerous than before.

Boom!

As soon as the thought appeared in their minds, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. A divine radiance shot out from his pupils at once.

In that brief fraction of a second, another force, tyrannical and entirely different from before, erupted from within him.

"This is bad! He's about to break into the Great Sage Realm!" Ji Hongyu suddenly realized, and his gaze shifted.

The next moment, he called out to the Great Sages present and chose to attack at once.

The reason was very simple.

In his eyes, Lu Yuan was undoubtedly someone comparable to a Ranker. In some aspects, he might be considered to be on par with Holy Sons and Saintesses.

If they wanted to kill this man, they had to be at least one realm above him, and they had to join forces. Otherwise, things could easily spiral beyond expectations. That was why Ji Hongyu had not stopped the Great Sages of the various races when they stepped forward.

But now, Lu Yuan was actually about to break into the Great Sage Realm as well.

How could they allow that?

On Earth, when this man had been in the Lesser Sage Realm, he had basically crushed opponents of the same level.

Once he broke through, would the Great Sages present still be his match?

Ji Hongyu did not know, but he did not dare gamble.

In an instant, he unleashed his methods and attacked.

The Great Sages of the various races beside him were not fools either.

They understood that once Lu Yuan successfully broke through, everything would be over.

Boom!

Instantly, the eighteen Great Sages joined forces. Each of them unleashed their strongest methods.

Then, the entire region was enveloped in boundless light.

Under that terrifying power, waves of rumbling echoed through the cosmic starry sky. Countless bolts of lightning spanning over ten thousand feet tore across the area, and some smaller meteoroids could not withstand the force and began to shatter on the spot.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Lu Yuan had already surpassed the Lesser Sage Realm.

Although he still stood in place, there was not the slightest fear in his eyes as he faced the attacks of eighteen Great Sages.

Behind him, grotto-heavens emerged one after another.

He did not use any of his divine abilities.

He merely used the power within his body to activate the Heaven-Earth Furnace above his head.

At a time like this, while breaking into the Great Sage Realm, he was not completely incapable of resisting.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to break through directly in front of these Outer Cosmos beings.

The reason they were attacking now was because they feared he would successfully break through.

They wanted to seize this opportunity to eliminate him once and for all.

Unfortunately, they would not succeed.

In the next instant, the Heaven-Earth Furnace above his head began to tremble. Like a collapsing star, it erupted with light so dazzling.

Boom!

Under that powerful force, the attacks of the eighteen Great Sages were directly diminished.

More importantly, Lu Yuan's aura was still rising without end.

Boundless light gathered around him. His entire being truly seemed like a god descending from the divine realm.
