Chapter 538. Slaying Him, Finally Obtained, Battle Begins

Sharp sword light swept out. Radiant sword intent surged.

Opposite him, despair overwhelmed the Celestial elder as the sight before him unfolded.

He knew who the person before him was, and in his heart, he already knew that his fate was sealed. But still, in the face of it, he felt fear.

However, none of his reactions now had any use.

The sword fell, carrying peerless sword intent. In a single instant, the Celestial elder was enveloped by sword light.

His physical body and soul were completely shredded by this power. Even though he had strength close to the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, his opponent was Lu Yuan, who could be considered invincible in the same realm.

Even against someone one realm higher, Lu Yuan could still fight.

So in the end, the Celestial elder completely perished.

From beginning to end, apart from Lu Yuan suffering a small loss at the start because he was cautious and did not use his full strength, it was essentially complete suppression for the rest of the battle. The Celestial elder had almost no way to fight back.

Soon, all the sword intent and sword light vanished. The entire small world also returned to peace.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

Sure enough, just as the Celestial elder had said, even after Lu Yuan used his full strength, this space still showed no signs of collapsing.

The battle outside might be extremely fierce, but no one could sense the situation within. More importantly, because the space was too sturdy and the Celestials had been cautious, the news inside could not be transmitted out either.

On this point, Lu Yuan felt that the Celestials had done well. Unfortunately, all of what they had done had merely paved the way for him.

Then he thought no further and turned around. He also mobilized the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens inside his body. They would sense one another and help him find it faster.

This small world was still quite large, so he had to do this.

Soon enough, Lu Yuan walked to the side of an altar. He could sense that there was a Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token inside.

Without hesitation, he activated the power of the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens and drew it out.

The reason he did not act himself was simple. He was worried that the altar still contained backup methods left behind by the Celestials.

Reality was exactly as he had expected. He could clearly sense various powers within it, similar to an alarm. If he acted directly, it would be very easy to trigger them and let the Celestials outside know.

However, what Lu Yuan was using now was the power within the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens. To a certain extent, the backup methods the Celestials had left behind had no effect at all.

Before long, an ancient token appeared, emitting a purple glow.

Lu Yuan reached out and took it. After sensing that the aura inside was completely identical to the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens within his body, a smile appeared on his face.

Originally, he had thought that after obtaining the seventh Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, continuing the search would be extremely difficult.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left the Milky Way Starfield, he obtained related information. And now, this was already the eighth.

In Lu Yuan's expectations, the number of Celestial Emperor's Ancient Tokens should be about the same as the Nine Cauldrons. Or perhaps there would be one more, but there absolutely could not be many beyond that.

The reason behind such a thought was that after continuous fusion, he discovered that the power within the ancient tokens was growing stronger and stronger.

Now, it had already accumulated to a rather powerful degree. It was only because he had not collected all of them that the power inside temporarily could not be used.

"I will take the item first. Fusing it can wait until later."

Lu Yuan put away the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token and turned around. His goal had already been achieved, so there was no need to remain here.

Leaving was much like entering.

Outside, the battle was still continuing.

Jiang Taiyu and the strongest Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had disappeared.

Lu Yuan sensed briefly and discovered that those people were already fighting beyond the heavens.

Clearly, they were too powerful. If they fought without restraint, it would likely cause an enormous disaster for the entire Celestial Star.

Of course, Jiang Taiyu did not care. The Celestials had already completely allied with the enemy.

But those Extracosmic Heavenly Demons still needed to rely on the Celestial Star to expand their power and control the entire starfield. Naturally, they did not want the planet to suffer heavy damage.

Therefore, the battle within the Thunderflash Mountain Range was now essentially between the Celestials and the other various clans.

At this moment, the Celestials were actually blocking the experts, including the Mohe Clan, by themselves.

This would have been impossible before. Clearly, they had probably received considerable benefits from the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Lu Yuan saw that among the Celestials, there were now a large number of Grotto-Heaven Immortals. There were also Creation Immortals, basically similar to the person he had just killed.

For this reason, even without the help of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, the Celestials still had not fallen into a disadvantage.

"Did you find the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token?" At this moment, a voice sounded in Lu Yuan's mind.

It was Jiang Taiyu. Clearly, even though he was in space, he still knew Lu Yuan had come out.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded.

"In that case... We should leave as well." Jiang Taiyu's voice rang out again. "We lost some men in the battle just now, but fortunately, the goal has been achieved. You leave first."

However, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "Senior, since we have acted, why should we leave?

"The Thunderflash Mountain Range is the ancestral land of the Celestials. If we seize it, that will surely be a good thing. Perhaps it will deal a heavy blow to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. Why not do it?"

He believed that since people on their side had already died, they should not have died for nothing, should they?

Therefore, Lu Yuan made a decision. They would go all out and occupy the Thunderflash Mountain Range. In this way, they could at least be considered to have accomplished something.

"Naturally, that is possible."

Jiang Taiyu's voice sounded again. "However, I need to deal with these Extracosmic Heavenly Demons and may not be able to spare any attention. I can only leave those Celestials to you."

"That is enough." Lu Yuan replied, his gaze turning solemn.

Then he murmured softly, "With me here, these Celestials do not amount to much."

His words contained powerful confidence and a bearing that could swallow mountains and rivers.

That was right. Along Lu Yuan's journey, no matter what kind of opponent he encountered, he had resolved them all in the end.

Especially now.

Apart from the very peak figures in the universe, there were no longer many beings capable of threatening him.

The Celestials had chosen betrayal and thrown themselves in with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Then they should pay an equal price.
