Chapter 549. Supreme Battle Intent, Upper Hand, Enlightenment!

To many, there was an uncrossable chasm between the Creation Immortal Realm and the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.

Crossing it meant entering an entirely different world. Whether in strength or any other aspect, there would be an enormous improvement.

Lu Yuan was the same. Although his current battle prowess was terrifying enough to let him fight a Celestial Seat Immortal, he still remained at the Creation Immortal Realm.

He could put up a fight for so long because of his foundation. If he could cross this chasm, things would be different.

It would be an all-around transformation. Just like now, he had only gained a little comprehension, yet his battle prowess had already undergone a tremendous change, and his previous injuries had instantly recovered.

Facing the Celestial Starfield Lord not far away, the battle intent surging from within him grew even stronger.

Lu Yuan was enveloped entirely in golden blood qi. He appeared before the Celestial Starfield Lord and, without hesitation, threw another punch.

However, if one observed carefully now, one would discover a crimson hue within the golden blood qi. This was because his realm had already reached a certain degree and was about to return to simplicity and truth.

Therefore, whether in physique or anything else, everything about him was different.

At this moment, facing Lu Yuan, whose power and battle intent were even greater than before, the Celestial Starfield Lord's face turned slightly pale. He had never imagined that the final battle would reach such a state.

Unfortunately, it was no longer up to him whether he wanted to fight or not.

So the Celestial Starfield Lord said nothing more and met Lu Yuan head-on.

Boom.

The instant the two exchanged blows, he immediately felt an unprecedented pressure. It came from Lu Yuan and was different from before.

The Celestial Starfield Lord immediately sensed his arm going numb. Even his soul seemed to shake. Immediately after, he retreated, trembling all over.

Previously, when the two of them fought, the Celestial Starfield Lord had held the upper hand.

But now, things were completely different. With just one strike, Lu Yuan had posed a real threat.

This is bad. If this continues, I will die.

This was the thought that appeared in the Celestial Starfield Lord's mind instantly. He knew Lu Yuan had already begun comprehending the Celestial Seat laws. If this continued, even if he could still fight now, he would definitely be killed soon enough.

Unavoidably, the thought of fleeing appeared in his mind. The battle intent around him also began to weaken.

In cultivation, after reaching a certain level, especially after breaking into the Immortal Realm, many different factors came into play to determine the victory between two people of similar power.

The most important among them was battle intent, the will to fight. When someone's battle intent was strong enough to disregard life and death, they could often erupt with terrifying power beyond their usual level in a short time and gain the upper hand.

But if someone's battle intent wavered, things would be different. Without that will, even the strongest person could not display their true strength.

At this moment, that was exactly the state Lu Yuan and the Celestial Starfield Lord were in respectively.

Lu Yuan's battle intent grew stronger each time and had reached a peak by this point.

The moment the Celestial Starfield Lord thought of retreating, he revealed an opening.

Lu Yuan found it, then threw another punch.

In the next moment, the Celestial Starfield Lord's chest exploded. His entire aura weakened at once.

However, he was still a Celestial Seat Immortal. He quickly repaired all his injuries. He also stirred the power within him and fought Lu Yuan head-on.

It had to be said that a Celestial Seat Immortal was worthy of the name. Even under such circumstances, he could still withstand Lu Yuan's offensive.

But the same point remained. Once he thought of retreating, the ending was already decided.

The two sides continued fighting for a long time. Finally, at a certain point in time, the Celestial Starfield Lord revealed yet another opening and Lu Yuan seized it.

The Great Luo Sword Embryo suddenly appeared in his hand. Sword intent erupted with a boom.

Then facing the Celestial Starfield Lord in the distance, Lu Yuan slashed out.

Sword intent began to surge, completely enveloping the entire space.

The Celestial Starfield Lord discovered that he had nowhere to retreat. Helpless, he could only circulate all his power to resist the attack.

Pfft.

Not long after, as the sword light fell, heaven and earth lost their color, and endless light surged.

Only after a long time did this light finally vanish from the earth.

Then, the Celestials saw a scene that shook them beyond measure.

Their Starfield Lord had half of his body severed. Blood flowed freely, and the aura around him was no longer as powerful as before. He stood in the void, trembling.

Everyone was shocked. This was the first time they had seen their Starfield Lord in such a state.

Not far away, Lu Yuan wore a solemn expression. He had also utilized his full force for that strike earlier. In the past, no opponent had been able to withstand it and would have been killed outright.

Yet the Celestial Starfield Lord had only lost half his form. Given a little time, the Celestial Starfield Lord would immediately recover.

This left Lu Yuan very surprised. He also felt that a Celestial Seat Immortal was indeed difficult to kill.

However, this was only the actual beginning.

Almost immediately, he acted again. A powerful aura shook out, and sword intent surged.

Seeing this, fear surfaced in the Celestial Starfield Lord's eyes. But he had no choice. He could only face the battle. He could flee, but what would happen to his clansmen below?

Lu Yuan could easily annihilate all of them.

So he met Lu Yuan head-on once more, just as before. The two sides continued fighting, both using their strongest methods.

Although Lu Yuan had already gained the upper hand, he still could not win in a short time.

The battle lasted an entire day and night.

During this time, the Celestial Starfield Lord also gave orders for his clansmen to leave. He also tried to notify the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, but none of it worked.

His clansmen were unwilling to leave. They wanted to stay, and some even chose to join the battlefield, only to be instantly shredded. The Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, from beginning to end, had never regarded the Celestials as true allies.

So now, even if the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons knew the Celestials might be wiped out, they still made no move.

Just like that, after a day passed, the Celestial Starfield Lord finally could not hold on.

Under Lu Yuan's sword, his flesh exploded. His origin power also reached its limit. His flame of life looked as if it would go out in the next instant.

Facing Lu Yuan, he had done his utmost. He had never imagined Lu Yuan could be this difficult to deal with. He wanted to say something, but did not know where to begin.

He wanted to hate and curse him, but Lu Yuan had defeated him in an open and aboveboard battle.
