Chapter 627. A Battle Between Supreme Immortals, the Future

The Ji Clan's Starfield Lord did not raise his voice, yet the surrounding stars trembled as he spoke. His aura rose in violent waves, filling space with thunderous rumbles.

He had not even moved. The slightest display of a Supreme Immortal's might could shake an entire region of space, especially when charged with killing intent.

Jiang Taiyu and the others narrowed their eyes.

They could all sense that the Ji Clan's Starfield Lord was stronger than before. Jiang Taiyu and the Present Buddha of the Sukhāvatī Starfield felt the difference most clearly. All three had once stood at the same level. At the Supreme Immortal Realm, differences in strength were rarely great enough for one to defeat another.

That was no longer true.

Even so, Jiang Taiyu merely took a deep breath and looked at the Ji Clan's Starfield Lord and the Eternals' Starfield Lord.

His expression remained unchanged as he stepped forward. "I know you accepted the power of extracosmic beings. Perhaps you are stronger than before, but so what? This universe is not theirs to defile. If anyone allies with them and helps prepare for their descent, then no matter the consequences, I... will not allow it."

Terrifying power erupted from Jiang Taiyu. Laws circled him, radiating enough might to tear apart all things in the universe.

His position could not have been clearer.

The Ji Clan's Starfield Lord and the Eternals' Starfield Lord had accepted extracosmic power. They might now stand beyond the Supreme Immortal Realm, leaving Jiang Taiyu and the others hopelessly outmatched, but he still stepped forward.

This was the homeland the Jiang Clan's ancestors and the forebears of the other starfields had once defended at tremendous cost. In their era, they had been willing to lay down their lives for it. Jiang Taiyu and the generations after them had inherited that conviction.

The experts of the Sukhāvatī Starfield and the other starfields exchanged glances, then stepped forward without hesitation. Endless light surged from them as their power thundered forth. Each shone like a star, illuminating the cold and silent universe.

Everyone had made the same choice. The Present Buddha of the Sukhāvatī Starfield stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Taiyu.

The Ji Clan's Starfield Lord remained silent, but the Eternals' Starfield Lord spoke. "We've said all that needs to be said. Since you've made your choice, be prepared to bear the consequences."

Immortal light surged around him and formed divine rings as his aura rapidly intensified.

Though the two Starfield Lords appeared minuscule against the immensity of space, their might made the surrounding galaxy tremble, as though they had transcended everything.

Just as Jiang Taiyu and the others had suspected, the extracosmic power had allowed both men to take half a step beyond the Supreme Immortal Realm. They were now on the verge of transcending the limits of ultimate evolution.

They had come to carry out their plan, not negotiate. There was no need to waste any more words. Besides, both wanted to see how powerful that half step had made them.

In the next instant, the Ji Clan's Starfield Lord and the Eternals' Starfield Lord stepped forward.

Their auras shook space as strands of law power coiled around them.

The entire region trembled as endless bolts of lightning filled the galaxy.

This was the might of Supreme Immortals. The difference between stillness and action was immeasurable. The two merely raised their hands, and countless stars exploded.

"Retreat."

Jiang Taiyu and the Present Buddha exchanged a glance. They were the only ones present who could withstand the two Starfield Lords.

The Supreme Immortal Realm was the pinnacle of immortality. Its power far exceeded what anyone else there could endure.

The next instant, the two met the Ji Clan's Starfield Lord and the Eternals' Starfield Lord head-on. Endless immortal light surged outward and spread across the galaxy, filling the battlefield with blazing radiance.

The power of countless laws intertwined with forces capable of crushing a galaxy. Jiang Huanyun and the other experts paled. They might all be Immortals, but the gulf between them and these four was so vast that they could not intervene at all.

Boom!

Soon, another violent roar resounded through the sea of stars.

Four figures crossed paths, all bathed in immortal light, as though they had transcended this world. With every movement, divine power surged, the galaxy trembled, and the laws around them boiled.

Jiang Taiyu swept his right hand through the air, and a vast space appeared, containing countless stars, wind, fire, water, and earth.

Like a complete world, it crashed toward the Ji Clan's Starfield Lord. He showed no fear. Without using a single technique, he withstood the impact through physical strength alone.

The Present Buddha gently brought his thumb and middle finger together. Buddhist light surged, and lotus after lotus bloomed, each containing boundless power.

This was a battle between four Supreme Immortals. Every collision produced dazzling radiance that seemed capable of illuminating the entire cosmos.

As the four unleashed ever greater power, the disturbance spread toward the other great starfields. Beings across the Sky Dragon Starfield, the Sukhāvatī Starfield, and the rest of the top ten all sensed it.

One Supreme Immortal after another emerged.

At their level, they knew enough to understand what was coming. Each made a choice, though none could predict where that choice would lead.

Without exception, those experts set out for the Milky Way Starfield. It had seemingly become the center of the entire universe.
