Global Awakening: I'm the Only One Ready

Chapter 327. Fearless at Heart, Refinement, and Terrifying Might

Jiang Haokong believed that he understood Lu Yuan to some extent.

He knew that Lu Yuan had a forceful temperament and would tolerate no threats. When faced with a great enemy, he would never fear battle. He would strike directly, and was domineering to the extreme.

Even so, Jiang Haokong still found it difficult to believe that Lu Yuan had killed every last one of them, including Yu Heng.

For a moment, Jiang Haokong opened his mouth. There was brief silence before he continued, "Every member of the Eternal Race leaves behind an imprint within their clan. It shows what they experienced before death. Since you killed Yu Heng, the Eternal Race must already know.

"Considering their temperament, they will never let this matter rest. Once the power of Separation of Heaven and Earth fully dissipates, they will definitely seek revenge."

Jiang Haokong knew a fair amount about the Eternal Race and understood that they had always acted tyrannically throughout the cosmos. Even among the top ten starfields, there were times when they refused to show anyone respect.

So Jiang Haokong had already made his predictions.

The Eternal Race would definitely target Lu Yuan at any cost.

And he also knew that Lu Yuan had offended the Ji Clan long ago.

To face two great clans ranked among the top ten in the entire cosmos...

"I know," Lu Yuan only replied calmly.

He had long been mentally prepared for this. At worst, he would simply have to face two great clans.

He did not fear them in the slightest.

Of course, he understood Jiang Haokong's thoughts and knew he was worried, so he added, "There will be a way to deal with it."

Hearing that, Jiang Haokong nodded and said nothing more. He might have a carefree and somewhat arrogant personality, but that did not mean he lacked a brain. He knew that it was highly unrealistic for Lu Yuan to contend against those two clans.

Unless, of course, Lu Yuan had absolute confidence that he would one day cultivate and evolve to an extremely high level.

"Enough. Don't dwell on it. Judging by the look of it, they'll be coming out of the lake soon. We'll wait here for now. If there's nothing else after, we'll leave," Lu Yuan spoke, knowing that other opportunities must still exist within this Immortal Cave Secret Realm.

However, too much time had already passed. The secret realm would likely close soon, so they had to leave.

"Alright." Jiang Haokong nodded as well and said no more.

Lu Yuan glanced at the lake and opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes to observe it.

After estimating things roughly in his heart, he determined that Zhu Qingyu and the others would emerge in about three days.

Taking advantage of that time, he found a place and sat down cross-legged.

In the final land of the Immortal Cave, he had obtained many boons, and he had not yet had the chance to digest them. With Jiang Haokong here, there was no need for him to worry too much.

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Yuan first took out the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

After Guang Chengzi's move, it had indeed been restored by more than half, and its might was stronger than before. If he pushed it to its utmost limit, then with his current strength, it might even directly threaten a Great Sage-level existence.

The Heaven-Flipping Seal, even though it was no longer at its peak, remained extremely powerful. And as his realm continued to rise, its power would only keep increasing.

To a certain extent, this item could rival the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Of course, the Great Luo Sword Embryo had not yet truly matured. In the future, it would certainly become even stronger.

After studying it for a while, Lu Yuan took out the red gourd once more. More precisely, this item was called the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

It was a legendary treasure and could no longer be classified with terms such as Sage Weapon, because it was simply too legendary.

Of course, although Guang Chengzi had bestowed it upon him, that did not mean it completely belonged to Lu Yuan yet. It still needed to be refined, and now happened to be the perfect time.

So he did not hesitate in the slightest and directly began dripping his blood essence onto it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

In an instant, waves of light continuously poured forth from it.

At the same time, a mysterious power emerged. That power resembled sword intent to some degree, and the moment it appeared, it sent a chill through the body.

Lu Yuan could even sense that an even stronger power seemed to be hidden within it. As for just how great its might would be, that would only become clear once it had been completely refined.

So he directly calmed his mind and focused on the task at hand.

Meanwhile, Jiang Haokong, who had little to do in the first place, once again sensed a power so formidable that it reached an extreme.

That power made the hairs on his body stand on end, and even his divine sense warned him of danger.

"This..."

Jiang Haokong was shocked. He immediately turned and looked toward Lu Yuan, who sat cross-legged not far away, as well as the red gourd floating in midair.

Did he obtain that in the final land? He wondered to himself, deeply astonished.

The red gourd felt extremely dangerous, as though it contained terrifying power, power even he could not completely ignore.

Even so, no greed appeared in Jiang Haokong's eyes.

After all, it was someone else's fortune.

He was not that kind of person. He simply felt rather helpless.

This Lu Yuan had directly begun refining it and was making him stand guard?

"I am the Holy Son of the Jiang Clan. How could I let you order me around?" Jiang Haokong laughed, pride evident in his tone.

Yet his vigilance rose even higher than before, and he brought every movement in the surroundings under his watch. If anything unexpected happened, he would strike immediately.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan continued refining the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

Time flowed on.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

At last, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger had been fully refined and Lu Yuan finally understood exactly how it worked.

It moved according to its master's will. From within it, a blade intent would fly forth. That blade intent was unimaginably powerful and could be said to slay nearly any living being.

He made a rough estimate. Even if a Great Sage stood before him, as long as he activated the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger, he could kill them instantly. Its might was terrifying to the extreme.

It truly deserved the name Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger.

However, this thing needed power to be continuously poured into it even when out of battle. The entire gourd could only unleash its greatest power when it turned a deep crimson. Otherwise, it could not be activated.

In other words, it could only be used once in a single, large battle.

But that was only natural when he thought about it. If something like this could be used freely, it would be far too overpowered.

Lu Yuan was not a greedy man. Being able to obtain the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger already left him thoroughly satisfied.

That was enough.

He did not think any further. He directly opened his eyes and stood up.

"You are really bold. You actually dared to devote yourself entirely to refining that thing in a place like this," Jiang Haokong walked over and said.

"Many thanks, Brother Jiang, for standing guard for me." Lu Yuan smiled and thanked him. He naturally knew what Jiang Haokong had done.

Just when Jiang Haokong wanted to say something more—

Boom!

A powerful force suddenly surged up from the center of the lake.

The two of them immediately looked forward with curiosity in their eyes.

They knew that Zhu Qingyu and the others had reached a certain stage in their cultivation and would be coming out very soon.

They were curious to see just how much benefit the group had gained from within.
