Everyone present personally experienced everything that had just happened.
Terror.
Despair.
Lack of the slightest room to resist.
So were killed on the spot, not even a speck of their body left behind.
Moreover, they all saw Yu Heng's miserable state. Yu Heng was an Eternal, yet even he had been reduced to such a state.
Nearly everyone could already foresee that if things continued, they themselves would be buried here.
And yet, under precisely such circumstances, Lu Yuan had erged victorious.
He had captured that monster.
From that alone, one could see just how powerful this man truly was.
And coupled with what had happened earlier where over a hundred Sages had joined forces and still been defeated by him alone, it beca clear that his strength had already surpassed all imagination.
He might appear to stand only at the Lesser Sage Realm, but in truth, he had already gone beyond that stage.
At this mont, however, Lu Yuan paid no attention to the thoughts of the Outer Cosmos beings. He simply looked at the blood-red monster in his hand.
In that battle just now, he had used many thods, and even the Primordial Dragon Breathing Technique, before finally defeating it.
It could be said that the monster's power had indeed exceeded expectations.
Lu Yuan said nothing further. The aura around him continued to rise.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Golden vital qi surged violently. The Great Sun's Furnace appeared once more.
Lu Yuan wanted to know exactly what this monster was. He was preparing to strike it dead.
Szzzz—
Yet in the very next instant, he suddenly discovered that the blood-red monster's entire body was shining brilliantly.
An incomparably vast and surging force directly burst out from within it. That force was so great that even Lu Yuan could not completely suppress it.
He could only watch as the blood-red monster tore itself free from his grasp.
Swoosh!
The blood-red monster darted away.
But it was not fleeing.
Instead, it entered that blood-red coffin.
Buzz—
At that very mont, the blood-red color on the coffin faded.
That strange aura, the one that did not belong to this world, also vanished completely.
All the danger and unease likewise disappeared.
More importantly, the coffin itself was no longer blood-red. It had beco an ordinary black coffin, as though everything had returned to normal.
And there was one more thing.
From within the coffin, brilliant radiance poured forth, dazzling beyond asure.
It was now a scene completely different from before.
What is going on now?
At this point, it was not only the Outer Cosmos beings who saw this and felt bewildered.
Even Lu Yuan himself was deeply puzzled. He had no idea what was happening.
After all, this was the first ti any of them had encountered such a situation.
But in the next instant, the sa thought suddenly entered everyone's mind.
Fortune!
Perhaps that blood-red monster had been so sort of trial of the Immortal's Cave, and once it was defeated, the fortune would erge.
The more they thought about it, the more convinced they beca because the scene now presented by the coffin made everyone feel extrely at ease.
For a mont, it seed as though they had forgotten the danger from before. One by one, wonder appeared in their eyes.
Even Yu Heng, left with only half a body, turned his gaze toward the coffin.
After all, he was a Lesser Sage. Even though his fleshly body had been damaged to such an extent, he was still alive.
But right at that mont, Lu Yuan's voice rang out.
"Now that the danger has been resolved, the next thing to do is clear out the obstacles."
Every Outer Cosmos being turned cold at his words.
A fierce killing intent swept the entire scene.
"You... What are you trying to do? We've already given up on being your enemy."
"That's right. We concede. Are you really going to kill us all?"
"That would not be the conduct of a righteous man. You should leave room for rcy."
They began speaking one after another, because they had all sensed the killing intent on Lu Yuan. Under these circumstances, they could only choose to soften their tone.
After all, the ultimate fortune was right before their eyes. They had no desire to die.
But when Lu Yuan heard their words, he could not help but laugh.
"A mont ago, all of you joined forces trying to kill , and now you're talking about leaving room for rcy? Since when did such cheap bargains exist? Once certain things are done, a price must be paid," Lu Yuan spoke again.
He had never been a softhearted man.
These people had already joined forces against him. And after that, he was supposed to let them go?
With a faint smile, he no longer had the slightest desire to waste ti.
He stepped forward.
At the sa ti, the Heaven-Flipping Seal appeared. Without any unnecessary motion, it descended upon those people instantly.
These Outer Cosmos beings were all Sages, yes—but they had already been injured in the earlier battle.
Now, with Lu Yuan using the Heaven-Flipping Seal, they were even less his match.
In no more than a few breaths, everyone was wiped out.
Yu Heng of the Eternal Race included.
Lu Yuan showed not the slightest hesitation.
As for offending the Eternal Race, he did not care in the least.
Because of the Great Luo Sword Embryo, the Eternals and him were destined to face one another sooner or later.
There was no way he would ever give up the Sword Embryo. Since that was the case, why bother thinking about whether he would offend them or not?
The Eternals were strong, but so what?
As long as he continued growing stronger, he would fear nothing.
Lu Yuan drew in a deep breath.
Now, in this final region, he was the only one left. That ant it was ti to deal with the real matter at hand.
His gaze soon settled on the coffin, from which streams of brilliant radiance continued to erge. Everything was telling him directly that real fortune indeed lay inside.
Even so, Lu Yuan did not rush to act.
Instead, he first used the Great Sun's Furnace to probe it.
After confirming that nothing seed amiss, he thought for a mont and then walked over.
It was not because he was afraid. It was simply that, after everything that had just happened, it was better to remain cautious.
At last, he stood before the coffin and saw clearly what was within.
He could not help but be startled.
The red-furred monster had vanished. In its place lay the body of a white-haired old man clad in ancient robes, resting there in silence. Lu Yuan might have mistaken him for a living man if not for the fact that he failed to sense the slightest trace of life from him.
Who is this person?
Why is he lying in the final region of the Immortal's Cave?
Lu Yuan was puzzled. He opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes, but still could not discern anything.
After that, he tried every thod he could think of and examined the coffin from top to bottom.
He discovered nothing.
There seed to be nothing more than a corpse lying there.
After a brief mont of thought, Lu Yuan no longer hesitated.
He took out the small bronze cauldron. Just as in all the previous tis, he imdiately began the ritual offering.
And as the drops of blood fell into the cauldron, rings of light gathered upon the old man's corpse.
In the next instant, an indescribably vast and majestic aura suddenly manifested throughout the area.
The force was so powerful that even Lu Yuan could not help but begin retreating.
But what shocked him even more was that the old man in the coffin opened his eyes at that very mont.
Those eyes were ancient and clouded.
"How many years has it been? Has soone finally reached this place?" The old man murmured to himself.
Then he lowered his head and set his gaze upon Lu Yuan. A trace of astonishnt imdiately appeared in his eyes, and he muttered, "Emperor?"
