Chapter 589. Slaying Them, Immortals Fall, Shocking the World

Upon reaching the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, Lu Yuan no longer needed to deliberately invoke the divine abilities he had cultivated in the past to unleash their full power. This realm granted insight into the laws and rules of the universe, making it entirely different from those that came before.

Now, as Lu Yuan drew the Great Luo Sword Embryo and summoned the sword intent he had long since comprehended, his aura rose to a terrifying height.

The four Celestial Seat Immortals below immediately sensed the danger, and their expressions changed. They moved to break through Buddha's Palm Domain and escape, but Lu Yuan had already decided to kill them.

He appeared before one of the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortals without warning and swung his sword without a word.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Peerless sword intent surged forth with terrifying power, seemingly capable of cleaving heaven and earth apart.

The Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal's expression changed drastically. He unleashed all his strength in an attempt to defend himself, but Lu Yuan had already surpassed him in every respect.

With the Great Luo Sword Embryo in hand, the difference between them only grew wider.

Pfft.

The sword tore through the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal's physical form. No matter how much power he poured into his defenses, he could not withstand that overwhelming sword intent. Even his soul felt as though it were being sliced apart.

"Impossible. This is impossible!"

For the first time, he felt death closing in. He desperately drew upon all his power to repair the damage, but before he could recover, Lu Yuan struck again.

The sword light surged forth as though it had become eternal, freezing time and space in its wake. Before the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal could react, both his physical form and soul suffered devastating injuries, and his flame of life began to fade rapidly.

It had taken Lu Yuan only two strikes to bring a Celestial Seat Immortal to the brink of death.

The other three trapped inside Buddha's Palm Domain were horrified. They had already expected Lu Yuan to be extremely powerful and knew none of them could face him alone. Even so, they had assumed they could escape whenever they wished. They had never imagined that he could gravely wound someone at their realm with only two strikes and leave him on the verge of death.

Lu Yuan paid no attention to their thoughts. When he saw that two strikes had not been enough to finish the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal, he simply extended a hand. A tremendous force closed around his opponent, and Lu Yuan gave his palm a light squeeze.

Pfft.

The Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal's flame of life vanished completely.

He was dead.

A Celestial Seat Immortal had fallen just like that. The remaining three within Buddha's Palm Domain and everyone watching from outside had all witnessed it. The battle had barely begun, yet such a powerful figure had already been slain with a casual squeeze of Lu Yuan's hand.

The clansmen aboard the Eternal Warship stared in stunned silence.

"Attack! Break open this space!"

The remaining Celestial Seat Immortals finally understood the danger they were in. Without another moment's hesitation, they unleashed their strongest attacks against the power imprisoning them.

Lu Yuan took a single step and appeared before the three of them. His expression remained calm and cold as he attacked once more.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Sword light and sword intent poured forth without end, enveloping all three Celestial Seat Immortals. They had no choice but to resist with everything they had. The strike was far too terrifying for them to risk holding anything back.

Buzz.

When the radiance faded, all three were driven backward, their faces pale. Before they could catch their breath, Lu Yuan stepped forward again.

Runes flowed around the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand, each one brimming with boundless sword intent. Lu Yuan slowly raised the blade. The runes converged into a dazzling brilliance, and he brought the sword down once more.

Sword intent flooded Buddha's Palm Domain.

The three Celestial Seat Immortals felt their scalps prickle. They knew they had to block this strike with all their strength. Otherwise, they would suffer devastating injuries, and death would soon follow.

They could only lament their misfortune. Lu Yuan's appearance had already been beyond their expectations, but his overwhelming strength had caught them even further off guard. If this continued, there could be only one outcome.

They wanted to flee, but for now, escape was impossible.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The sword light swept down as the three joined forces and unleashed their strongest power. They managed to block the strike, but the remaining Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortal was wounded and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Four Celestial Seat Immortals had descended in total, two from the Ji Clan and two from the Eternals. One of the Ji Clan's Celestial Seat Immortals was already dead, while the other had now been injured. The two from the Eternals were shaken. They knew that if one more person fell, they would be next.

The three prepared to join forces for another attack, but Lu Yuan showed no sign of fatigue. Power surged from him once more, and countless runes transformed into a torrent of sword intent. His terrifying aura rolled outward in waves before condensing into another descending blade of light.

Again.

The three Celestial Seat Immortals felt a chill crawl across their scalps. With no time to think, they gathered their power and resisted once more.

They were Celestial Seat Immortals, after all. Even with Lu Yuan fighting in earnest and wielding the Great Luo Sword Embryo, killing three of them together would still take some effort. Yet Lu Yuan had nothing to fear. His accumulated strength ran far too deep.

He struck five more times in succession.

Under that relentless assault, the three Celestial Seat Immortals finally reached their limit and suffered grave injuries. Like the first, the remaining Ji Clan Immortal felt his flame of life begin to gutter. One final strike from Lu Yuan extinguished it completely.

The second Celestial Seat Immortal had fallen.

Only the two from the Eternals remained.

Lu Yuan's expression did not change, but the moment his gaze settled upon them, a chill swept through both Immortals as though the end of the world were drawing near.
