Chapter 529. Ending It, Thunder Firmament Hall, Experts Gather

Originally, those Celestials had come here under the leadership of the three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

They were not particularly powerful, and the Mohe Clan had already been suppressing them. They had avoided instant defeat only because they had accepted the Demons' power.

Truth be told, as long as they could endure until the three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons won, they would have achieved their goal here. There was no need for them to fight a life-and-death battle.

Who would have thought that at the most critical moment, Lu Yuan would act and reverse the tides?

As a result, they had no path of retreat at all. Now that Jiang Ningxian and the others had also joined the battlefield, the Celestials were even less of a match.

After being suppressed from the start, they slowly fell into a complete disadvantage. In the end, everyone joined forces and killed them.

Once the Celestials died, everything was over.

The Mohe Clan members were still dazed.

This was not their first time participating in such a battle, but previously, they had always faced all kinds of danger. However, everything had ended so quickly this time that they could not adjust for a moment.

Still, everyone knew that this result was entirely because of Lu Yuan.

Before this, they had looked down a little on this so-called Lord of the Celestial Court. Even with his fame and the various rumors, none of them had actually seen him act, had they?

But now, things were different. In a short time, he had slain three Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Such strength could be called terrifying.

He was clearly only a Creation Immortal, yet he fought with the might of a Celestial Seat Immortal.

Therefore, after the battle ended, everyone looked at Lu Yuan with an extremely solemn expression.

The same principle always applied. In this universe, the strong were respected. Show enough strength, and one would gain everyone's respect, while all disdain would disappear.

Even Mo Gang adhered to the same principle. Seeing that the battle had ended, he looked at Lu Yuan and nodded slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Earlier, I was too presumptuous. If you are dissatisfied with anything, say it. I am willing to pay the price for what I said."

The strong could not be insulted. He knew that what he had done earlier was definitely inappropriate, especially when it concerned someone with such formidable strength.

If it had been him, he certainly would not have let it pass so easily. Thus, everything he said now came from the heart.

However, Lu Yuan merely shook his head.

"I didn't take it to heart."

He knew that from beginning to end, Mo Gang had not taken issue with him personally. It was only because he had used the name "Celestial Court".

Mo Gang also had no intention of making things difficult for him. At the critical moment, he had even tried to protect him. From this, it was clear that although the Mohe Clan had a bad temper and was very domineering, they were not unreasonable.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did not intend to hold on to it. It was unnecessary.

"Thank you."

Hearing Lu Yuan's reply, Mo Gang's gaze shifted. He knew Lu Yuan might not be pursuing it because he was thinking of the bigger picture. Or perhaps a true expert really did not take such minor matters to heart.

Mo Gang was certain that if the two of them fought, he would definitely lose to Lu Yuan.

Thinking of what he had said earlier, Mo Gang felt ashamed. The name of the Celestial Court indeed could not be used by just anyone. But now, at least in his eyes, Lu Yuan had both the qualifications and the strength.

Jiang Ningxian and the others also came over, and Jiang Haokong had a smile on his face. The battle just now had indeed left him satisfied. It had been a long time since he had fought so freely.

Jiang Feiyi bowed slightly toward Lu Yuan. "King Lu, not long ago, I also had some objections to your actions. Now it seems I was indeed a frog at the bottom of a well. Please forgive me, King Lu."

These words also came from the heart. He had not expected Lu Yuan to be this strong. They seemed to belong to the same generation, but the gap between them was enormous.

And it was not only him. Everyone present felt they had misjudged Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not place any of this in his heart.

"Since this is resolved, can we leave?" Lu Yuan asked. He could no longer sense any trace of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons in the surroundings.

In other words, this famous mountain had been temporarily preserved, and the enemy's power is restrained.

However, Lu Yuan still had doubts. If they continued using this method, could they really succeed in the end?

"Yes, we should leave as well. If the timing is right, the Starfield Lord should also be returning," Jiang Feiyi said. Originally, when he welcomed everyone, he had intended for Lu Yuan and the others to rest more.

Who knew such a deviation of events would occur?

Fortunately, though there had been danger, disaster had been avoided.

On the other side, the Starfield Lord had also been away for some time. Given his strength, he should normally have resolved matters by now.

Everyone said nothing more and chose to return.

However, unlike when they came, Mo Gang and the other Mohe Clan members now treated Lu Yuan as their leader.

This was the treatment given to the strong. It was the respect he deserved.

Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong were already used to this. In their eyes, they no longer regarded Lu Yuan as someone on the same level. He was an expert who had already fully matured.

Everyone moved very quickly and drew near that grand palace once more.

On the way, Lu Yuan heard everyone's explanation.

This palace had originally been the Celestials' headquarters and was called Thunder Firmament Hall. It was extremely vast and its occupants had once ruled over this entire starfield. It was also one of the Celestials' ancestral lands.

However, because the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons descended and the Celestials chose to submit, this place became the front line where the various starfield clans descended to resist them. Now, more than a hundred major starfield clans had already gathered here.

However, there were only two among the ten great starfields—the Jiang Clan and the Mohe Clan.

These two clans held the line on the Celestial Star, leading the various clans to resist the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

With a Starfield Lord like Jiang Taiyu present, the situation was still considered stable.

Lu Yuan keenly grasped the key point in this explanation and immediately asked, "So among the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons who descended, some are comparable to the Supreme Immortal Realm?"

If there were none comparable to the Supreme Immortal Realm, how could they hold back Jiang Taiyu?

"That's right, but not just one. Many of them. Of course, some of them have not fully regained their strength. The rules of this universe are different from those beyond the wider cosmos, so they paid a great price to descend and were greatly weakened.

"Right now, several of them together can fight Senior Taiyu. According to the words of those Demons, they all belong to the Heaven Rank, which is equivalent to our Supreme Immortal Realm."

Mo Gang clearly knew many things, especially about the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.

Their cultivation system was different from this world's. Supreme Immortals, in their terminology, were Heaven Rank experts.

Of course, those people had only just begun descending, so everyone did not understand much yet.

This was also what worried many people. The real supreme experts among the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had not yet arrived, yet they were already able to force a Starfield Lord to act. What would happen later?

Lu Yuan only nodded in silence. He also knew that matters were far from simple. Even if all other factors were stripped away, this was still a war between one world and another.

Rumble.

A roar rang out. Everyone present stopped in their tracks.

Soon, several figures appeared. The one in the lead was the patriarch of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Taiyu.

Just like when they had first met, he did not reveal any powerful aura. Standing in the void, he looked like an ordinary person, refined and scholarly.

Beside him stood experts of various clans, their auras deep and powerful. Their breathing rumbled like thunder.

Lu Yuan could tell that these were all Celestial Seat Immortals, and there were ten of them in total.

When Mo Gang and the others saw the approaching figures, they all bowed in succession.

These were all powerful experts of the current universe, and some were also their own elders. It was only proper.

"Everyone, go back and rest first." Jiang Taiyu did not immediately greet them. Instead, he told the experts of the various clans beside him to rest. Only then did he look toward Lu Yuan with a smile. "Young Friend Lu, we meet again."

Before Lu Yuan could speak, Jiang Haokong beside him became dissatisfied and immediately said, "Your son and daughter are here too."

As soon as he said this, smiles appeared on the faces of everyone around them.

Ever since arriving on the Celestial Star, the shadow of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had almost always hung over everyone's heads. They had to guard against the Demons every moment and constantly fight for famous mountains and great rivers.

Now, Jiang Haokong's words immediately eased the mood.

Even Jiang Taiyu was the same. He shook his head. "Mm, I know. But you and Xian'er should go rest for now. Lu Yuan and I need to speak alone."

He naturally loved his son and daughter. However, Jiang Taiyu knew that important matters had to come first.

He was not only a father. He was also the lord of a starfield. Especially more so, when they still had to face the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons now.

Jiang Haokong naturally knew what was appropriate, so he nodded at once.

Jiang Ningxian beside him also said nothing and left together with Mo Gang and the others.

"Senior," Lu Yuan looked toward Jiang Taiyu and addressed the latter.

"This is not the place to talk." Jiang Taiyu smiled, then raised his hand. Immediately, space shattered, and the stars shifted.

When Lu Yuan once again saw his surroundings clearly, he discovered that he was already in a vast white space, as if he had left the Celestial Star.

"This is a small world I opened. There's no need to worry," Jiang Taiyu said.

He stood before Lu Yuan and sized him up slightly before saying, "We have not seen each other for some time, young friend, and you have become even stronger than before. I imagine it won't be long before you reach the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm?"
