Chapter 164: Shockwaves, Invincible Beneath the Starry Sky!
This battle had come to an end.
The fight had started from the peak of Mount Tai and extended all the way to an uninhabited city.
Spanning hundreds of miles, the clash had destroyed countless tracts of mountain forests along the way.
The terrain in certain areas had been directly altered, creating collapsed zones, while lakes were evaporated into dryness.
It could be said that this was an earth-shattering battle that transcended human imagination.
It was unprecedented since the global mutation.
Even some powerful awakened ones.
Could not remain calm upon witnessing it, for it far exceeded their expectations.
Now, with the great battle concluded, the body of the Celestial Clan's sub-saint plummeted from above.
Finally crashing onto the ground, its life force was completely extinguished.
A saint-realm entity.
Just like that, it had died, perishing before someone a full realm lower than itself.
At this moment, Elder Ji and other high-ranking officials of the authorities also clearly witnessed this scene, their minds remaining unsettled for a long time.
Had King Lu truly won?
Had he defeated a saint-realm being who had descended from beyond the territories?
Although everyone had held onto hope beforehand.
When it actually came to pass, they were still thoroughly shocked.
The saint realm.
Earth had indeed never produced one.
Yet they knew just how terrifying such a realm was once attained.
But in the end? King Lu had succeeded once again, exactly as he had in the past few instances, emerging victorious.
"The Celestial Clan's sub-saint has fallen, but what about the saint-realm beings of the other two great clans? Why aren't they in sight?"
"Indeed, didn't three saint-realm beings descend together? Why is there no sign of them?"
"Could they have already been slain earlier by that human, Lu Yuan?"
Meanwhile, the otherworldly entities who had rushed to the scene.
Were already immensely shocked upon seeing the death of Lei You.
Yet soon, they thought of the quasi-saints of the Primordial Demonic Clan and the Three-Headed Ghost Clan, only to find them absent.
Having just arrived, they had missed the previous fierce battle entirely.
Now, finding the Celestial Clan's sub-saint dead and the other two quasi-saints missing, they could only deduce the outcome.
Three saint-realm beings.
All dead!
In an instant, almost every single one of these otherworldly entities was shaken.
If it were only one, it could be explained away by the suppression of the heavens and earth, which prevented them from unleashing their full strength.
Coupled with the fact that they acknowledged Lu Yuan's own terrifying battle prowess, such a counter-killing might indeed be possible.
Yet now, there were a full three saint-realm beings.
That human, Lu Yuan.
Were his methods truly so powerful?
At this moment, this was the sole thought running through the minds of the otherworldly entities present.
They had originally thought that with the descent of the saint realm, the world's landscape would shift accordingly.
And beings like themselves would be able to freely plunder and seek out various fortuitous encounters.
Never had they expected.
That their opponent would straight-up slaughter saints.
Everyone was struck dumb with fear, looking up at that solitary figure in the firmament, with dread permeating their hearts.
Conversely, humanity, represented by the authorities, felt a surge of incomparable excitement after their initial shock.
Above.
Lu Yuan still stood suspended in the air.
Lei You was dead, and this battle had finally concluded.
Yet at this moment, his aura was somewhat turbulent, lacking its previous effortless composure.
It had to be admitted that a sub-saint was indeed formidable once they cast aside all restraints and fully unleashed their power.
Even for just that fleeting moment, the pressure on him had been immense, resulting in some minor injuries by the end, though they were ultimately inconsequential.
Naturally, Lu Yuan did not delude himself into thinking that his current strength truly allowed him to defeat a sub-saint, let alone hold much of a chance of winning against a true saint in their prime.
Even by pulling out all his tricks and trump cards, he could at most guarantee his own invincibility.
Beneath the saints, all are ants.
This phrase was far more than just a saying.
The fundamental reason he had managed to successfully suppress and slay Lei You was the power of the Heaven-Sealing Barrier.
Lu Yuan would not grow arrogant; instead, he felt his strength was still insufficient, especially as time marched on.
More and even stronger entities would eventually descend.
He had to continue enhancing his strength.
Within a short span of time.
Only thus could he face all impending crises.
Without further thought, he lowered his gaze and looked down at the crowd below.
Upon feeling that gaze, the otherworldly entities involuntarily shrunk their necks.
By now, they had firmly concluded that this was an absolute fiend of a deity, one not to be provoked lightly.
However, Lu Yuan paid no heed to these otherworldly entities.
He descended slowly from the firmament.
Arriving beside Elder Ji and the others, a faint smile played on his lips. "Let's go, it's all over."
"Yes, King Lu." Their eyes brightened, and without a moment's hesitation, they led the crowd back to the Mount Tai Training Academy.
The greatest crisis had been resolved, and with the Heaven-Sealing Barrier in effect, the situation would remain peaceful for at least a short period, with no drastic changes occurring.
More importantly, they now understood that King Lu could even neutralize threats from the saint realm.
How terrifying would his growth and evolution be in the future?
Perhaps.
He was the hope of this world.
As for the otherworldly entities, each of them carried a heavy heart.
They had thought that upon descending, they could dominate everything in this backward civilization.
Who could have imagined...
While Lu Yuan and Elder Ji's group were on their way back to Mount Tai.
The news that the three saint-realm beings had been slain upon their descent.
Swept across the entire world within a remarkably short time.
Instantly.
The awakened citizens of Earth erupted into a frenzy.
An earth-shattering crisis had just been resolved like this, proving that even awakened ones who had reached the sixth or seventh stages were no match for Lu Yuan.
"Where are those otherworldly entities now? Didn't you say that beneath the saints, all are ants? Now that my King Lu has single-handedly slain three saint-realm beings, why aren't you speaking up anymore?"
"Dare they speak? The facts are right before their eyes! King Lu is invincible! No matter how powerful the beings that descend from beyond the territories might be, he will slay them all by himself!"
"I wouldn't dare call it complete invincibility, for beyond every mountain lies another, yet King Lu has proven one thing: otherworldly entities are nothing more than this."
"Though I dare not claim he is entirely invincible, I believe that beneath this starry sky, King Lu is invincible!"
Originally, the descent of otherworldly saints.
Had felt like a dark cloud looming over their hearts.
Especially when the fierce battle broke out, everyone had been consumed by anxiety.
Because they all understood clearly.
Once Lu Yuan failed in this battle, the living beings of this world would meet a grim fate, especially since their strongest champion had fallen.
Yet who could have anticipated that three saint-realm beings would fall instead, leaving King Lu as the grand victor?
Just like now, those otherworldly entities who had previously laid down conditions were left entirely speechless.
For all living beings on Earth, this was a profoundly inspiring milestone, and everyone was celebrating.
Particularly on the internet, some people even began to hail Lu Yuan as invincible beneath the starry sky.
What does it mean to be invincible beneath the starry sky?
It meant that under the starry sky of Earth, King Lu was the undisputed and unrivaled champion!
And the facts proved this to be true.
Because.
Ever since otherworldly entities had arrived near Earth, countless beings, including sequence prodigies and saint-realm entities, had descended—yet what was the ultimate outcome? Every single one of them had fallen to Lu Yuan. If this was not invincibility, then what was?
