Chapter 592. Supreme Bearing, Driving Back the Races with a Word

No one had expected this outcome.

The two factions had deployed nearly all the power at their disposal—four Celestial Seat Immortals, along with numerous Creation Immortals and Grotto-Heaven Immortals. Such a force could sweep through nearly any race in the universe outside the top ten starfields, leaving them with no power to resist.

Even conquering one of the top hundred starfields would pose little difficulty. In some starfields, a Creation Immortal was already the strongest expert they possessed, while a Celestial Seat Immortal was beyond imagination.

Yet the two factions had sent four. Who could withstand such power?

More importantly, the one they were dealing with now was the Celestial Court, which had only just risen.

The Celestial Court had grown quickly, but it had existed for too little time and lacked the accumulated strength of an ancient faction.

Its Immortal Realm experts came entirely from the Jiang Clan, and even its Sage Realm cultivators were not particularly numerous. The Celestial Court could compare to some of the top hundred starfields, but a clear gap remained.

When the two factions attacked, nearly everyone believed the Celestial Court's destruction was inevitable.

Who would have thought that at the critical moment, Lu Yuan would descend with an invincible aura?

However, even then, everyone's view had not changed.

No matter how strong one person became, there had to be a limit. Lu Yuan was undoubtedly powerful, but everyone had assumed he still fell short of a Celestial Seat Immortal.

Instead, all four Celestial Seat Immortals had been slain. Neither their physical forms nor their souls remained, leaving no possibility of revival. Such terrifying methods shocked everyone present.

They now understood that Lu Yuan had almost certainly reached the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, a level second only to Starfield Lords.

Unless a Supreme Immortal appeared, Lu Yuan was all but invincible.

Moreover, they had witnessed the entire battle.

Ordinarily, when both sides were Celestial Seat Immortals, killing one's opponent was extremely difficult.

Lu Yuan had not only done so, but made it seem almost easy. His strength might already rival that of a Supreme Immortal.

Of course, this was only the guess of everyone present. No one knew exactly how powerful a Supreme Immortal was.

It had been a very long time since Supreme Immortals had fought. Even the last such battle, between Jiang Taiyu and the two factions' Starfield Lords, had taken place at the edge of the cosmos.

One thing was without doubt. Lu Yuan was no longer the rising junior they remembered. Even calling him a peerless genius fell short. He now stood among the most formidable experts in the universe.

That was why some beings were thinking that if they had chosen to help the Celestial Court at the most critical moment, would things have been better?

Unfortunately, time could not be reversed.

After finishing everything, Lu Yuan walked down from the Eternal Warship.

He looked at everyone and gave his instructions. "This Eternal Warship is quite good. The Eternals forged it from rare divine metals and poured tremendous effort into it, so we'll keep it.

"In the future, when my Celestial Court campaigns through the universe, this will be our sharp weapon. All of you handle it."

Lu Yuan knew that the Celestial Court still lacked the accumulated power of the universe's great factions.

The Eternal Warship was a formidable weapon. If used properly, a group of Sages could operate it well enough to withstand attacks from powerful Immortal Realm experts.

At full power, it might even trouble a Celestial Seat Immortal. Adding such a weapon to the Celestial Court's arsenal was an obvious choice.

In any case, it had delivered itself to his door. It would be a waste not to take it.

The beings from the Outer Cosmos exchanged helpless looks.

Goodness. He even dared to seize something belonging to the Eternals.

But very quickly, they felt this was normal.

He had even killed their people. Why would he fear an Eternal Warship?

"Yes, King Lu!" Young Celestial Master Chunyang and Monk Huikong quickly sent people to take charge of it.

As a treasure forged by the Eternals, the Eternal Warship held many secrets. It also bore marks left behind by the Eternals, meant to prevent outsiders from using it.

But Lu Yuan had already erased them using the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token. So now, this thing had no owner.

"Elder Ji, Elder Yun, I came late."

Lu Yuan descended and came to Jade Emperor Peak, bowing slightly.

No matter how strong he was now or would be in the future, one thing could not be changed.

They were elders.

Relief and excitement spread across Elder Yun and Elder Ji's faces when they saw him.

"It's fine. You're back, and that's what matters. That's all that matters."

For the two of them, their greatest wish in life was to protect ordinary citizens and their juniors as much as possible.

When the two factions attacked, Elder Yun and Elder Ji had already prepared to sacrifice their lives.

But in the end, Lu Yuan's return resolved every problem, leaving them both relieved and excited.

Thinking back to when they had entrusted everything to him, they had absolutely not been wrong.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded. Then he turned his gaze to Ice Fairy, Zhu Qingyu, and the others, smiling. "All of you did very well too. At the most critical moment, none of you retreated. I am very happy."

He had never expected everyone before him to resolve everything by relying on themselves under such a crisis.

What mattered was that they did not lose the courage to resist, and that everyone had stepped forward. At the critical moment, they had also thought of the ordinary citizens.

This, at the very least, made him feel gratified.

However, resolving the crisis required strength.

Lu Yuan knew that, given enough time, they would gain the strength they currently lacked.

"Thank you, King Lu." After hearing his praise, Zhu Qingyu and the others bowed. They had only done what they believed was right and felt no need for praise.

Immediately after, Lu Yuan looked toward the beings of the various races who had stepped forward at the critical moment and continued, "I saw what all of you did. In the future, the Celestial Court will also be willing to face crises together with you."

The meaning of these words was clear. From now on, they would be allies of the Celestial Court.

After hearing this, the experts of those races immediately lit up with joy.

Before this, aside from the Jiang Clan, the Celestial Court had never responded to anyone's goodwill.

It had virtually no allies.

Lu Yuan's words changed that.

Moreover, after today, they understood exactly how powerful this Lord of the Celestial Court was.

In the future, he would certainly become a Supreme Immortal, and might even surpass the Immortal Realm. What would it mean to have such a figure as an ally?
