Chapter 536. A Celestial Expert, Battle, Scruples

After Lu Yuan entered the space, aside from the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, he also sensed another completely different aura.

Clearly, to protect such an important object, the Celestials had also had a powerful expert stood guard. Thinking about it, this was only natural. This was the legendary Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

No matter how one looked at it, it was extremely important. Even if no use for it could be seen now, no one would deny that one day in the future, it would certainly display the power it should have.

For this reason, the Celestials believed that the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token would allow them to rise again one day.

After sensing this, Lu Yuan did not continue forward.

He merely stood where he was, his gaze calm and his tone very indifferent as he said, "Since you know I'm here, there's no need to keep hiding. Come out and fight. Otherwise, I will take the item directly."

Lu Yuan could sense that the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token was not far from him. Finding it would be simple.

However, he also knew that this person in hiding would not simply watch him do so. No matter what, he had to resolve this trouble first.

"I can sense a strong aura coming from you. I just don't know when such a figure appeared on the Celestial Star."

A voice rang out, carrying doubt as it continued, "Are you from the Jiang Clan, or the Mohe Clan? You do not seem like either."

As the voice fell, a figure walked out from the shadows and appeared in the broad space. It was an old man with wings on his back. Lightning coiled around his entire form, and a dangerous aura spread from head to toe.

Both the lightning and those wings had now completely turned black. It seemed even his very origin had been altered under the influence of some power.

This person had actually reached the Creation Immortal Realm, nearing the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.

Lu Yuan was not surprised by this. It was the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token. The person guarding it naturally could not be ordinary.

Therefore, even though a battle had erupted outside, this old man still remained in place.

"Who I am is not important. What matters is that you should know why I came here," Lu Yuan replied. Even after discovering this man's cultivation, he still did not seem to take the latter to heart.

It was not as if he had never seen such an existence before. At worst, it would be another battle. What worried him was whether this battle would attract attention from outside.

If even the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons learned about the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, things would become quite troublesome.

"I know. I only have one question. How did you learn about this object? Was it Jiang Taiyu? But why would he tell an outsider about something so important?" The Celestial elder asked again, his expression changing. He could sense that this person was neither from the Jiang Clan nor the Mohe Clan.

"There's no need for so much talk. Just attack." Lu Yuan had no intention of continuing.

He took one step forward, and aura surged continuously from his body. However, because he was worried that the battle here would attract attention from outside, he did not use his full strength.

Even so, it was already formidable. Terrifying power rose from him.

The entire space began to shake.

Clearly, this was a small world opened by a Celestial expert. Small worlds were usually unstable. With the slightest carelessness, one could shatter them outright, so it was better to hold back some strength.

However, the Celestial elder before him had no such intention at all. The aura around him erupted violently. Bolts of lightning roared as if they could destroy everything.

His wings trembled, and the power of wind and thunder shook. He looked like a god of thunder descending into the mortal world.

In an instant, he appeared before Lu Yuan and threw a punch.

Rumble.

Tremendous force surged. Then it poured out in an instant.

This was an existence whose power was close to the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm. He also had the enhancement of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons' power, making him extremely formidable.

Even Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly when he saw this.

The reason was clear.

He did not understand why this man dared to use his full strength at a time like this. Was he not afraid that the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons would learn of the battle here and then discover the matter of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token?

Rumble.

Another tremendous sound rang out.

Under that power, Lu Yuan retreated.

The Celestial elder had used his full strength, while Lu Yuan was still holding back. With one side fully committed and the other restrained, Lu Yuan suffered a loss.

"If this is all you have, I fear it will be very difficult for you to achieve your goal and obtain that item."

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, the Celestial elder smiled.

At first, because he could not see through Lu Yuan's background, he had been cautious. But now, he had already confirmed that Lu Yuan was merely an ordinary Creation Immortal, so he felt at ease.

Of course, he still did not quite understand why Jiang Taiyu would send this person in.

"I don't understand." This time, it was Lu Yuan's turn to speak. Looking at him, he said, "This is only a small world. It cannot withstand a fierce battle. Yet you dare to attack at will. Are you not afraid that this place will be discovered, and that the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token will become known to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons?"

He was certain that this man did not dare tell the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons about the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token. Otherwise, it could not have remained hidden all this time.

Because of this, Lu Yuan was puzzled. Under these circumstances, this person actually dared to attack with full strength?

"This space was reinforced with the full strength of my race. It's connected to the greater terrain power of my Celestial Race's ancestral land, the Thunderflash Mountain Range.

"Forget about me. Even if a Supreme Immortal acted personally, they could not break it in a short time."

The Celestial elder spoke, his words seeming to carry pride. He had absolute confidence in the space which was why he had used his full strength from the start.

He knew that no matter what he did, he could not completely break this space.

"So that's how it is. It seems I overthought things."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan paused, then shook his head helplessly.

Yes. The Celestials were still a top hundred clan, after all, and had their own foundation. No matter how one looked at it, they could not be underestimated.

He had been too cautious.

However, in the Celestial elder's eyes, Lu Yuan's expression seemed like a reaction of surprise.

He thought Lu Yuan had not expected an expert like him to be guarding this place, nor that he would ignore even the battle outside.

With this thought, a smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "No matter what you say now, it's useless. Since you have come, don't think you can leave."

As he spoke, the power of thunder around him grew even denser. Clearly, the Celestial elder had already developed killing intent.

But Lu Yuan also smiled then.

He stood up, a smile appearing on his face as well, and said, "In that case, I no longer need to hide anything."
