Chapter 205. An All-out Battle, the Might of the Heaven-Flipping Seal, the Fall of a Sage!

At an altitude of ten thousand meters above Mount Tai...

Golden vital qi surged like tidal waves. Thunder roared ceaselessly across the heavens. Black mist coiled like a demonic veil. A celestial halberd trembled in the firmament.

The four different forces entwined and clashed in midair, shattering the clouds.

Down below, shock painted the faces of Elder Ji and the others as they watched the battle overhead. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

The current battle had utterly defied imagination. They were even close to the battlefield, and yet, they could sense the pressure bearing down from above. It was so suffocating, so terrifying, and transcended comprehension.

In comparison, modern weapons or even nuclear arsenals seemed laughably insignificant at this point.

This was the definition of a truly earth-shattering battle, a battle of mythic proportions.

In the distance, a few individuals braved the pressure and clutched tightly to the cameras with their trembling hands. They were livestreaming the clash as it unfolded.

As the masses and Awakened watched the footage, they were left stunned, their jaws agape in disbelief.

Never in their imagination had they expected that a battle between Awakened could reach such an unfathomable level. This was like a clash between gods.

Even the extraterrestrial beings were visibly shaken.

Their astonishment wasn't from the formidable display of might but rather Lu Yuan.

They had never expected this human to actually stand toe-to-toe with those of the Sage Realm.

And Lu Yuan wasn't just passively defending but engaging them in open combat.

***

High in the sky, Lu Yuan was locked in a clash with the two Void Sages.

He invoked the Jade Emperor's Divine Thunder Art. Coupled with his golden vital qi roaring in tandem, he truly resembled a descending war god.

Every punch he threw carried boundless force, and upon impact, the sky itself trembled with thunderous echoes.

Despite being Void Sages, his two opponents gained no ground and could only retreat step by step beneath the sheer weight of his assault.

"This man... how is he so powerful?"

The two Void Sages exchange glances, their faces growing more solemn than before.

Their power as Sages was suppressed, and they could not fight at their peak. However, their physique, souls, and every aspect of them were supposed to remain far beyond Lu Yuan's.

Yet, Lu Yuan fought as an equal. Or rather, a nightmare. Enough for them to show signs of retreat.

"Don't hold back! Kill him with everything you've got."

A furious roar rang out from below. It was from Lei You, who had been blasted away and crashed into the mountains moments ago.

Now, he was truly consumed by fury. He was being suppressed by someone a whole two realms below him. He could not possibly tolerate such humiliation.

It was also this very shame that deepened his murderous resolve. He had to kill Lu Yuan. If Lu Yuan were allowed to live, he would undoubtedly spell great trouble down the road.

With that thought, Lei You took to the skies again. His aura surged outward in all directions as his wings trembled, summoning the power of wind and thunder. Blinding radiance cloaked his entire frame.

Celestials, whether in terms of physique or soul, ranked among the finest across the top hundred starfields.

Now, Lei Yuan intended to summon all his strength to annihilate this human Awakened in one decisive blow.

In the face of the storm, Lu Yuan felt not the slightest ripple of fear.

He, too, was far from weak when it came to manipulating thunder.

He threw another punch forward, his fist clashing head-on with Lei You's thunder-coiled strike.

Rumble!

Boom!

The skies detonated in a storm of divine thunder.

But this was just the beginning.

The two clashed again and again. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged over a hundred blows.

Behind Lu Yuan, the two Void Sages were not idle. They joined the fray and unleashed their own techniques.

Now, Lu Yuan was surrounded on all sides by three Sages.

For a moment, the tide seemed to be against him. Even so, his figure never faltered.

With seamless fluidity, he moved, dodged, and struck back.

The epic clash raged across the skies above Mount Tai, sweeping over mountain ranges that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

Clouds of dust billowed. Clusters of trees uprooted. The land itself split apart under the weight of their blows, forming gaping rifts across the battlefield.

Smaller peaks were leveled, crushed under the sheer pressure of the onslaught.

"Descent of the Thunder God!" Lei You's voice rang out.

A figure emerged from behind him. It bore a pair of massive wings and towered over the land like an incarnation of the thunder god.

The figure then turned into a blinding bolt of lightning measuring close to four hundred meters before striking Lu Yuan squarely in the chest and detonating with catastrophic force.

Lu Yuan plummeted from the sky like a falling comet and crashed straight into an abandoned city below.

The asphalt roads shattered on impact. Hundreds of skyscrapers collapsed like tofu blocks. A massive crater gouged open where he landed, as if a meteor had struck the heart of the city.

"King Lu!"

A cry broke out. Someone exclaimed upon watching the footage. They feared that this blow might have dealt serious damage to Lu Yuan.

After all, the scale of the battle was already monstrous enough to alter the landscape itself.

Lu Yuan stood within the center of the crater. Not a speck of dust marred his clothes. Not a hint of disarray touched his form.

Fortunately, the Primordial Qi Robe had absorbed the brunt of the attack. With it, his defense was at an almost unfathomable level.

Still, that strike had been formidable, and had shaken his internal organs.

"He's actually uninjured?"

Lei You's face darkened.

How could Lu Yuan's physique be this terrifyingly resilient?

Three Sages had collectively attacked him relentlessly for such a long period of time.

And yet, he remained unscathed.

"Again!"

The Void Sage of the Primeval Daemon Race remained composed. His body expanded once more into a towering colossus mountain before he lifted a foot and stomped down toward Lu Yuan.

At the same time, the Three-Headed Ghost Void Sage spat out a mouthful of blood and channelled his energy into the celestial halberd. In an instant, a blinding radiance burst forth from the weapon.

Lei You then activated a forbidden art of the Celestials once again.

The three no longer cared about restraint. They unleashed the deadliest techniques they possessed with the absolute intent on obliterating the man before them.

Lu Yuan planted his foot firmly into the ground. Behind him, the Great Sun's Furnace blazed into existence, merging with the golden vital qi that surged around him.

Under this torrent of power, the earth quaked and shattered anew. Fissures webbed outward like a spider's net, cleaving the battlefield with seismic force.

But this time, it wasn't just the Great Sun’s Furnace. Twenty-eight grotto-heavens unfolded behind him, each one sheltering a true god within.

Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique!

Harnessing these techniques in his arsenal, Lu Yuan raised his fist and hurled the strongest blow of his life against the three Sages.

Boom!

With a thunderous detonation, heaven and earth were bleached of color.

Within a radius of several thousand meters, everything was destroyed. Buildings, streets, and structures alike were ground into fine dust. Even sound itself seemed to vanish.

Above, the combined techniques unleashed by the three Sages were shattered by a single punch. All three Sages were forced backward.

Their faces paled as shock marred their countenances. They could hardly believe what they were experiencing. They had not expected Lu Yuan to have such cards under his sleeves.

They had already unleashed the strongest power they could wield as a Sage—though their true might was restrained by the Separation of Heaven and Earth.

Nonetheless, it was still the epitome of power in this Milky Way Starfield.

And yet, this human had blocked their attacks.

Just how strong was this human? If he entered the Sage Realm eventually, how monstrous would he become?

Killing intent flared simultaneously in all three minds. They prepared to join forces once more.

They refused to believe that Lu Yuan could throw a punch of such power another time.

Even if he could, with their Sage-level foundation, they vowed to grind him down through sheer attrition.

No matter what, today would be the day of Lu Yuan's demise!

Just as this collective resolve took shape in their minds, an overwhelming sense of danger pricked at their souls.

Instinctively, all three Sages felt ice flood their limbs as though an unimaginable threat was inches away from striking.

Retreat!

Without a hint of hesitation, they abandoned all thoughts of attacking further and turned to flee toward safety.

Unfortunately, one of them was a step too late.

Beneath, Lu Yuan flashed forward and appeared before the Three-Headed Ghost Void Sage.

An icy expression marred his face. Lifting his right hand, a seal appeared out of nowhere before expanding rapidly to over three hundred meters in size. It blotted out the sky itself as it descended upon the Void Sage.

It's the Heaven-Flipping Seal!

Splat!

The moment the Three-Headed Ghost Void Sage came into contact with the Heaven-Flipping Seal, cracks webbed across his body.

Then, he exploded into minute fragments, reduced to a cloud of bloody mist. His aura vanished, completely erased from existence.

A Sage had fallen!
