Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 354. Backer, Influential Figure, Holy Son of the Ji Clan

This mirror was a treasure.

It looked extraordinary, but it was not some kind of weapon, and there did not seem to be much offensive power within it.

However, the moment the mirror appeared, Lu Yuan could clearly sense a mysterious power hidden inside.

Zhou Yunqiong did not hesitate. She cut her fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

Buzz.

Instantly, the entire mirror emitted thousands upon thousands of rays of divine light.

All of that light gathered together.

At the same time, an indescribably terrifying power suddenly emerged. It spread out directly, covering the entire region in a short time.

Under that powerful aura, even the stars dimmed one after another.

"You were the one who forced me to use my final card. I am doing this to protect myself, so you deserve whatever's coming."

After sensing that power, Zhou Yunqiong's tense heart finally settled slightly, because only she knew that this had been given to her by the person standing behind her, an influential figure of the Ji Clan. It could save her life at a critical moment.

Back then, Ji Hongyu had also said that once this ancient mirror was activated, there were very few people in the entire universe who would still dare to attack her.

In other words, its effect was even greater than that Death-Exemption Talisman.

Therefore, Zhou Yunqiong believed that as long as she activated it, even if Lu Yuan was powerful, he would not be able to do anything to her.

He might even fall into danger once that influential figure took action.

Originally, she had thought that she would not survive under Lu Yuan's hand.

But who told this man to give her a chance?

And he would ultimately regret it utterly for giving her this chance.

However, when Lu Yuan saw the rays of brilliant light emanating from the ancient mirror, there was not the slightest change in his eyes. He merely watched the scene ahead in silence.

There, as time passed, boundless light gathered.

In the end, that radiance formed a human silhouette.

The figure was somewhat indistinct, dressed in a loose, flowing robe.

Even though his face could not be seen clearly, he still gave off an extremely terrifying sense of pressure. It was as if his mere presence there could make all living beings submit. This person seemed like a natural-born emperor, an existence who embodied both dominance and majesty.

More importantly, this silhouette was not his true body, yet it still caused the surrounding stars to dim.

At this moment, anyone could tell that this was a truly powerful and terrifying existence.

He was a supreme powerhouse.

"That is... the Holy Son of the Ji Clan!"

"That's right. I saw him from afar back then. It's this exact, same bearing."

"Hasn't the Holy Son of the Ji Clan already reached the Immortal Realm? How can he descend into the Milky Way Starfield?"

"Isn't it obvious? This must be a projection. He has come to stand up for that woman of the Ji Clan. Lu Yuan is in trouble now."

At this moment, in outer space, the Great Sages who had yet to be killed and the other Outer Cosmos beings were first startled when they saw that figure.

Then they recognized him.

They knew the silhouette was the Holy Son of the Ji Clan.

He was the most powerful existence among the younger generation of the entire Ji Clan.

Some Great Sages in particular knew that the Holy Son of the Ji Clan was different from the Holy Sons of other great clans.

He had begun cultivating earlier, and so he had also made his name extremely early. By now, his status was not even inferior to that of some Starfield Lords.

And what was a Starfield Lord?

It was the strongest existence in an entire starfield.

From this alone, one could see just how powerful this Holy Son of the Ji Clan was.

Of course, Lu Yuan did not know these things. However, from the words and reactions of those around him, he already understood the identity of this human figure. Even so, he still showed no reaction.

To him, he did not care who stood in his way.

"Lu Yuan?" The Holy Son of the Ji Clan spoke.

His voice was truly dignified, as if the heavens themselves had opened their mouth.

Although he had only spoken a single name, it still brought an extremely powerful sense of pressure.

Before Lu Yuan could answer, he spoke again. "Let everything today end here. I will not pursue events of the past either."

The voice of the Holy Son of the Ji Clan descended. From the moment he appeared, he had basically understood what had happened.

Ji Hongyu was no longer nearby, and he could sense the aura emanating from Lu Yuan.

He understood that the Ranker had probably already died at Lu Yuan's hands.

However, he did not seem to care about this. He merely looked at Lu Yuan.

His tone was calm, yet it carried the unmistakable authority of someone long accustomed to standing above others.

"You are not pursuing those matters only because you cannot do so right now. Even if your true body is immensely powerful, what stands here now is ultimately nothing more than a projection. If you think a mere projection is enough to make me submit, aren't you taking things too lightly?"

What Lu Yuan could not tolerate the most was that commanding tone and lofty attitude.

The Eternal Race had been like this before, and now this Holy Son of the Ji Clan was the same.

In his eyes, the two might differ greatly in strength, but in the end, they were cut from the same cloth.

He had thought that Zhou Yunqiong would have some other means, but now it seemed he had been overthinking it.

After saying those words, Lu Yuan did not hesitate at all.

He took a step forward.

Boom!

Golden vital qi surged, accompanied by an incomparably violent aura.

"Stop!"

In the next instant, the figure of the Ji Clan's Holy Son grew increasingly dazzling. Like a true god, he looked at Lu Yuan with what seemed to be anger, but he did not erupt. Instead, he said calmly, "If you stop now, the matters of the past can still be forgiven. If you insist on acting willfully, I can say with certainty that no one will be able to save you."

He was ultimately a prodigy from one of the strongest clans, and one of the strongest figures in the entire cosmos. Even as a projection, he was still this domineering.

But Lu Yuan was even more domineering than he was.

He did not take those words to heart at all.

The vital qi around him grew even more intense than before.

Rumble.

The next moment, he appeared directly in front of Zhou Yunqiong and was about to swing his fist down.

The Holy Son of the Ji Clan was thoroughly enraged as well, and he attacked directly.

Woooong!

A phantom and a true body collided head-on.

It was like two stars crashing into each other, as a deafening roar sounded out. [1]

The surrounding meteoroids cracked apart under that force.

The Great Sages also turned deathly pale one after another.

Naturally, they knew very well how powerful the Holy Son of the Ji Clan was.

What they had not expected was that Lu Yuan, who had only just broken into the Great Sage Realm, could actually battle him. It left them deeply shaken.

No wonder eighteen Great Sages had been suppressed by him alone.

Even the Ranker of the Ji Clan had died directly.

Now, another powerful figure had appeared, and the two sides had erupted into battle. What would the outcome be?
