Chapter 535. Leaving the Battlefield, the True Goal

The Celestials were much stronger than before. Otherwise, the allied forces would not have needed to split up to deal with them.

Therefore, whether it was the Celestials or the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, they were all enemies now. Since they were enemies, they had to be fought to the end.

Moreover, not every clan present was as powerful as the Mohe Clan.

Farther away, Jiang Taiyu was battling several Extracosmic Heavenly Demons and did not have the upper hand either.

However, the battle between them shook heaven and earth. Each time they moved, the surrounding stars trembled, and small planets shattered one after another.

They were just too terrifying. The Celestial Star could only endure the battle because it was the core of the entire Thunderflash Starfield. Otherwise, in a battle of this level, even if this planet was unimaginably vast, it would still shatter instantly.

Now that the battle had begun, no one was idle.

While Lu Yuan observed, he also fought some Celestials. However, he did not choose to kill them and made himself appear ordinary.

He knew very well that if he wanted to seize the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, he had to do it by surprise.

He was formidable, but neither the Celestials nor the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons knew that right now. Therefore, most of their power was focused on dealing with the Mohe Clan and the Jiang Clan.

By contrast, the Celestials around him were fairly weak. This was precisely why Lu Yuan had a chance.

He could leave the battlefield, then head into the depths of the Thunderflash Mountain Range and find the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

However, Jiang Haokong and Mo Gang found his behavior odd.

In their view, if Lu Yuan fought with all his strength, he could quickly change the battlefield's situation.

He was an undisputed expert. But why had he not done so?

Although they were puzzled, they said nothing and continued fighting the enemy.

However, Jiang Ningxian fell into thought. She suddenly felt that Lu Yuan and her father might be planning something.

Boom.

Not long after, when Lu Yuan made another move and forced an enemy back, Jiang Taiyu's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Young friend, it's about time. These people have been held back. Take this chance to find the eighth Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token. Remember, you must be quick."

The purpose of this trip was for Lu Yuan to obtain the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

But there was a problem with the plan—it required others to cooperate. For example, the various clans participating in the battle now knew nothing about it. And to hold back the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons and the Celestials, some might have to pay with their lives.

The longer this went on, the more people would die. Jiang Taiyu naturally did not want that to happen, so the faster Lu Yuan moved, the better.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded at once.

From beginning to end, he had not shown what he was truly capable of, so the Celestials and the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were not paying attention to him now.

This was the opportunity.

Lu Yuan observed briefly, blended into the battlefield, and left while no one noticed.

He slipped away from the battlefield and headed into the depths of the Thunderflash Mountain Range. The region was already shrouded in endless lightning and black mist. The strange aura lingering everywhere seemed to warn intruders that this place was extremely dangerous and could not be entered recklessly.

But none of this meant anything to Lu Yuan.

At this moment, he withdrew his aura completely. He also drew upon the power of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

As long as the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens are close enough, they will form a connection. Although the distance is a bit far right now, it is enough for me.

As Lu Yuan thought this, he sensed where the eighth Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token was.

This was only possible because he had enough ancient tokens. Otherwise, finding it would indeed be very difficult.

Even so, it still took quite some time. The Thunderflash Mountain Range was too large, and finding the location of a tiny ancient token was naturally extremely difficult.

Still, through Lu Yuan's continuous pursuit, he eventually discovered the specific location.

"Finally found it."

He did not hesitate and headed straight there.

He knew he could not delay. The faster he moved, the better. Otherwise, if the Celestials caught on, there would be trouble.

The purpose of this trip was not only to fight.

Not long after, Lu Yuan arrived at a valley. The valley was covered by some kind of formation, and bolts of lightning flashed within it.

Of course, without looking carefully, one would not discover anything different about this place compared to the others. Lu Yuan could only tell because of the resonance from the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens inside his body.

Is it inside?

After thinking briefly, he said nothing more.

He took a step forward while letting his aura spread.

If the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token was really inside, rashly stepping in might cause him to be discovered. Therefore, Lu Yuan wanted to see whether the Celestials had left any backup methods here.

As it probed deeper, he discovered that only a formation existed here. Apart from that, there was nothing else.

"Because the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token is special, they deliberately pretended to not value it. That way, they would not make the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons suspicious?"

After sensing this, Lu Yuan instantly understood.

Although the Celestials and the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had joined forces and colluded with each other, they were actually guarding against one another. It was precisely because of this that the Celestials would never reveal the matter of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan smiled. Since no other methods had been left behind, he had even less reason to stand on ceremony.

He stepped forward.

Looking at the formation before him, he said nothing. He took out the Great Luo Sword Embryo, then slashed downward.

Although this formation was very strong, it did not amount to much in Lu Yuan's eyes. In an instant, he destroyed it.

Then Lu Yuan stepped through.

In the next moment, he discovered that the scene around him had changed. It seemed he had entered the deepest part of the Thunderflash Mountain Range.

His current location seemed to be in another space.

The Celestials really hid that Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token deeply. Lu Yuan thought as a smile surfaced on his face. He had already sensed it.

The Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token was here. For some reason, no one from the Celestials had refined it.

Could it be like Jiang Taiyu, who could not do it?

With that thought, Lu Yuan activated the ancient tokens' aura within his body and walked forward.

Rumble.

At this moment, a violent thunderclap suddenly rang out. Almost in the next instant, the entire space was filled with endless thunder.

The power of this thunder was extremely strong. It seemed capable of instantly destroying everything and carried an aura of destruction. Even someone in the Immortal Realm would find it difficult to withstand. Clearly, this was a killing method left behind here by the Celestials.

But Lu Yuan was no longer who he once was. That thunder carrying destructive power seemed to have no effect before him and did not even slow his steps.

At this moment, Lu Yuan understood very clearly.

After entering this place, what he had to face was not thunder, but something else.
