Chapter 1291: Capturing the Celestial Lord Is Like Pulling Weeds
After mobilizing the entire force, the heavenly court revealed its terrifying strength. They divided their forces and invaded several prominent greater worlds at the same time.
Amidst the chaos, they acted swiftly and caught these worlds off-guard as the latter was not given news of the invasion at all. Before they knew it, their Heavenly Venerate had already been beheaded.
There was simply no one who would have notified them beforehand!
Under these circ.u.mstances, the defenses of the greater worlds fell one after another. They had lost before they could even prepare their defenses.
"How dare they do this? How dare they? Aren"t they afraid of becoming the common enemy of all the worlds?"
"Have they gone mad?"
"The Heavenly Realm must have gone mad! They most definitely have gone mad!"
Even so, the worlds were about to retaliate when a reverent illusory figure appeared. There was hardly anyone who could withstand the aura of this illusory figure, not even the Imperial Emperor. Like the rest, he immediately dropped to his knees. He did not dare to resist at all!
"Celestial Lord, it was Celestial Lord Lu who called the attack!" exclaimed an Imperial Emperor from a different world.
It had been a long, long time since something like this had happened. The Imperial Emperor had personally intervened in the affairs of all the worlds in the universe. Because of that, the silent agreement between the Heavenly Venerates was virtually destroyed.
To begin with, this was something that should have been intolerable.
However, at this turning point, even Lu Xuan had made a move. The ancient Celestial Masters had also chosen to completely ignore the situation. Not a single one of them made an appearance.
Countless lifeforms in the Poison Realm, the Demon Realm, and other realms were wailing in anguish.
"Celestial Ancestors, please take a good look at the situation. The humans of the Heavenly Realm have broken the rules!"
"Great ancestors, please help us!"
"Oh heavens, oh earth, can you not see?"
Countless creatures were howling in grief, but they couldn"t stop Lu Xuan at all. These worlds were daunted by his mighty presence. Moreover, only a Celestial Lord could rival another Celestial Lord.
Even though there were so many Celestial Lords and Heavenly Venerates, many people did not understand why none of them stood up to stop Lu Xuan or the Heavenly Realm.
"Surrender, or die!" declared the illusory figure.
Lu Xuan did not have the intention to mindlessly kill everyone. It was a projection of his strong beliefs. Being a Celestial Lord, he was magnanimous in his way.
He only wanted to unite and restore peace to the world. That did not mean that he wanted to start a ma.s.sacre. There was no need to kill all the living beings in these worlds to achieve his goals.
Under Lu Xuan"s power, no other Heavenly Venerates jumped out to oppose him. This led to the surrender of the invaded worlds very quickly.
Lu Xuan had singlehandedly grabbed these worlds, merging both the Heavenly Realm and the captured worlds into one.
The living beings in these worlds were in an inexplicable panic. This was a situation they had never encountered before.
Still, after Lu Xuan had fused so many worlds into one, they had no other alternatives but to accept this reality. From then on, they went from being opponents to becoming members of the Heavenly Realm.
All the worlds, including the affiliated ones, were fused with the Heavenly Realm. Lu Xuan felt as if his entire being had been sublimated. He was much stronger than before.
He was already bound to the fate of the Heavenly Realm. The power of the realm was a direct mirror of Lu Xuan"s strength. The more powerful the Heavenly Realm was, the more power Lu Xuan would receive and the more formidable he would be.
This was a path Lu Xuan had to take. He had to walk the path of transcendence.
Under everyone"s watchful eyes, as many greater worlds continue to merge with the Heavenly Realm, the strength of the Heavenly Realm also increased abundantly.
Not only were all the high powers in the remaining greater worlds dumbfounded, but they were also extremely fearful of the overtly ambitious Celestial Lord who aimed to unite all the existing worlds in the universe. They had never once thought that there would be such an existence among the Heavenly Venerates.
However, there was absolutely no room for them to object as they were not formidable enough to oppose a Heavenly Venerable.
After subduing these greater worlds, the Heavenly Realm"s war chariots did not stop. They continued to head toward the other greater worlds. Wherever the Heavenly Realm flag pa.s.sed by, the worlds would surrender without question. Even the Dragon World, which had a deep grudge against Lu Xuan, had completely surrendered under his powerful might.
There was no room for them to interfere and all they could do was obediently choose to join the Heavenly Realm. Without the protection of the dragon ancestor, the Dragon World had no means to protest against Lu Xuan.
On top of that, many witnessed that Lu Xuan did not ma.s.sacre everyone after subduing the other worlds and only treated them as equals.
Since resistance was futile, there was hardly any disadvantage in surrendering. Therefore, wherever the Heavenly Realm army pa.s.sed by, it meant a surrender.
The other worlds raised their white flag, one after another.
During this process, there were naturally also some worlds that would rather choose death than yield to the enemy. They had yet to realize how terrifying the Heavenly Realm was and did not understand the existence of Celestial Lord Lu.
As for the likes of Lu Xuan, he only had to use one palm to smash them into pieces, grab its Heavenly Dao and integrate it into the Heavenly Realm"s one.
Every time he subdued a world, Lu Xuan"s strength increased by several folds. This made the Heavenly Venerates who were secretly observing, very alarmed.
"No, we can"t continue like this. Otherwise, all the worlds will be unified by him!"
"That"s right. We must contain him before he completes the unification!"
The few Heavenly Venerates soon reached an unspoken understanding that they could not allow Lu Xuan"s path of unification to continue. Otherwise, the entire universe would become his hunting ground.
Even though Lu Xuan had displayed terrifying strength before, the group of Heavenly Venerates were not deterred by it and determinedly stepped out to confront him.
They finally arrived at the road where the Heavenly Realm chariot was located.
A few figures stopped Lu Xuan.
"We are old acquaintances!"
Lu Xuan smiled faintly. These people, every single one of them, were all old acquaintances of his. They had even dueled before. True Lord, G.o.d, Satan, and Ra the Sun G.o.d - these four Heavenly Venerates stopped Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, do not proceed any further. Otherwise, you"ll become the public enemy of us and all the Heavenly Venerates!" Ra said calmly.
Although he was wary of Lu Xuan, he couldn"t let Lu Xuan destroy this world.
"Public enemy? So what?" Lu Xuan glanced at the four of them and reached out his ma.s.sive hand.
This big hand covered the sky and the sun. In an instant, the entire universe seemed to be consumed by this hand, containing the endless mysteries of time and s.p.a.ce in one palm.
The four Heavenly Venerates were practically supreme beings. However, at this moment, they were caught and trapped by this huge hand.
"How is this possible?!" G.o.d"s eyes widened in disbelief. His cultivation was also at the top amongst the Heavenly Venerates, yet even he was unable to put up a fight.
Just how much stronger had Lu Xuan become in such a short period?
He, who had mastered the primitive time laws, was continuously undergoing an endless amount of transformation.
Although it might have seemed like a short duration to others, countless years had pa.s.sed as far as Lu Xuan was concerned. During that period, his strength had become unfathomable.
