Chapter 390. A Ruthless Strike, Smashed to Smithereens, Bearing of the Invincible

The sight gasted the flabbers of those who clapped their eyes on it, but more than anything, it made them feel immense pressure. The pressure was particularly heavy for the Celestial Court and the members of the younger generation.

The enemies above them were mostly Great Sages, while those who weren't were on the same level as a Great Sage.

The two in the center were prodigies whose names shook the entire universe; they were Holy Sons who had already stepped into the Immortal Realm. They were Immortals; they were beings who supposedly only existed in myths, yet here they were, standing before them as enemies.

How could anyone not feel the pressure?

The two Holy Sons seemed to gaze down at all living things of Earth. Even though they were only illusory figures, the aura emanating from them still made it hard for everyone to breathe.

Zhu Qingyu, Ice Fairy, and the others could feel it clearly. The gulf between themselves and those two Holy Sons was simply too vast. In fact, the Holy Sons' mere words made them feel like a mountain was crashing down on them.

Just then, an aura bloomed from Mount Tai. It was neither imposing nor overwhelming. In fact, it was gentle, and in an instant, every ounce of pressure pressing down on those present vanished into thin air.

"I still don't know if you two are strong enough to take my life," Lu Yuan replied, answering the two Holy Sons. He had not yet stepped into view, but his words echoed loud and clear for everyone to hear. Naturally, they also heard the absolute confidence in his voice.

The amalgamation of pressure from the powerful experts of two great clans and their Holy Sons bore down on him, but it seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever. In fact, he even decisively fought back.

Right then, a figure with a calm face walked slowly out of Mount Tai. It was Lu Yuan; he was dressed in white, and his entire being exuded an indescribable presence.

"As expected, you are arrogant," the Holy Son of the Eternals replied. Then he said, "Let's see if you can bite, or if all you can do is just bark."

This was his first time clapping his eyes on Lu Yuan, but he had long heard of the man's ferocity from his clansmen. Two of his people had already died at Lu Yuan's hands, and he had come here to put the matter to rest for good. Otherwise, the Eternals would become the laughingstock of those in the Outer Cosmos.

"Do you really think that just because you became a bit stronger than everyone else upon stumbling across some boons, you can afford to disregard everything and everyone?" the Holy Son of the Ji Clan remarked. Shaking his head, he added, "The vastness of the universe is something that you cannot even begin to comprehend, but in three days, you will understand it."

Both Holy Sons shared the same stance. They acknowledged Lu Yuan's strength, but that was all. In their eyes, the man would soon be dead, and there was no need to exchange more words with a dead man.

"Whether I'm all bark but no bite, you'll find out soon enough," Lu Yuan replied in a low voice, and everyone present sensed something strange.

The faces of the two Holy Sons changed slightly, while the faces of their clansmen stiffened. Lu Yuan had taken a single step, appearing beside them. To be precise, he stood before the illusory figures of the two Holy Sons.

"What are you doing?" asked the Holy Son of the Eternals.

However, Lu Yuan did not bother giving him a chance to do anything. "You've come here as nothing but a projection, but you actually dared to be so arrogant?"

With that, he threw a single punch.

The clansmen of the Eternals and the Ji Clan moved to intercept. Even if the two illusory figures were mere projections, they still represented their Holy Sons. Lu Yuan's move served to shatter their honor in this display of force.

If the projections were allowed to shatter, both clans would lose their credibility.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan was much faster than they were. They were Great Sages, but Lu Yuan was invincible among Great Sages.

The instant he moved, a terrifying aura erupted from him, and the thirty Great Sages from both clans combined could only hold on for a single breath before being blasted away. They almost crashed into the ground.

At that very moment, Lu Yuan looked like the invincible Celestial Emperor, and he actually had the bearing of one, as it seemed like every move of his could shatter the firmament itself.

The projected illusory figures of the two Holy Sons contained no power whatsoever, so they were smashed into illusory smithereens before fading away into nothingness.

Left all alone, Lu Yuan stood proud and high above the sky.

Earlier, the clansmen of the two great clans looked down at Mount Tai in a display of force, but now, they were at a distance after being blasted away. Meanwhile, the projections of the two Holy Sons no longer existed.

Below, Zhu Qingyu and the others watched it happen, and their eyes lit up with excitement. Just moments before, the pressure from those two clans had weighed heavily on them, but with a single move, King Lu crushed every one of them.

He was truly invincible—King Lu was indeed invincible.

"Lu Yuan, you!" an elder of the Ji Clan exclaimed with fury flashing through his eyes.

"What? Would you like to fight me, too?" Lu Yuan responded almost immediately, his tone of voice as calm and as unhurried as ever. The aura he had unleashed moments before had already been pulled back in, yet his presence only seemed to grow even more terrifying.

Of course, this terrifying presence came from within Lu Yuan rather than being born from his raw power, and of course, it was naturally more intimidating.

Sure enough, the Ji Clan elder froze upon hearing that. He could not get a single word out of his throat. He could feel it. Lu Yuan still carried no killing intent toward him, but if he were to keep provoking the man, that would be a different story.

The Eternals decided to retreat. They knew very well that Lu Yuan was genuinely strong. If they were to force him into making a move against them, they would suffer and could end up derailing their plan.

Moreover, Lu Yuan would not hesitate to kill them all. Hence, in the end, they all decided to retreat. Not one of them dared to utter a word, and their apparent contempt for all living beings on Earth vanished without a trace.

"Good. If there's nothing else, I'm going," Lu Yuan said. He had no intention of striking them down. As long as they did not cross the line, it would be enough. There was no need to kill everyone, and he was also not a bloodthirsty fiend.

Otherwise, who could say for sure how many of those invaders would still be alive today?

When Lu Yuan finally left the scene, the powerhouses of both clans finally let out the breath that they had unknowingly been holding. They exchanged glances and saw nothing but helplessness in each other's gaze.
