The other two members of the Eternal Race were only at the Void Sage Realm. As such, they could not pose the slightest threat to Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan could suppress them even at the same realm, let alone when he stood a whole realm above them.

But Yu Heng was different. He stood at the Lesser Sage Realm, and his strength could be described as exceptionally formidable. The moment this man made his move, Lu Yuan sensed it and immediately treated him with full seriousness.

In an instant, the Great Sun's Furnace appeared behind him. Layer upon layer of radiant light surged forth. The temperature in this place rose to a terrifying degree in a very short span of time.

At the same time, Yu Heng also struck out with a palm in that same instant.

Boom!

A powerful aura shook the air. Even the clouds high above were blasted apart.

Behind them, Zhu Qingyu and the others only felt an immensely powerful pressure descend upon them, causing their faces to pale.

A battle of this level was something they could hardly withstand, even without drawing near.

Very soon, once all the light faded, everyone discovered that Lu Yuan was still standing alone in midair. Yu Qing was still suppressed in his grasp, while Yu Hong and Yu Heng stood before him.

It was clear that in that brief exchange just now, Lu Yuan had not suffered the slightest disadvantage.

"Your strength is indeed quite impressive, and you have even reached the Lesser Sage Realm. Still, I would like to see just how much weight your Lesser Sage Realm truly carries," Yu Heng spoke slowly, his gaze incomparably cold.

At this moment, he was completely enraged and no longer wished to waste any more time. Without any unnecessary movement, he raised his hand once more.

Boom!

In an instant, everyone saw golden divine halos appear across the sky.

These halos burst forth with thousands upon thousands of rays of light, and all of that radiance intertwined together, forming chain after chain of golden links. Golden runes flickered across the chains, making them look mysterious and immensely powerful.

"Chains of Divine Judgment? A great divine art of the Eternals!"

In the distance, Lei Xiao of the Celestials narrowed his eyes at once after seeing this. He could clearly sense the power contained within those golden chains.

That force was incomparably strong. So he immediately recognized it as one of the Eternals's divine arts—Chains of Divine Judgment. As the name implied, it represented heaven and earth in passing judgment.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At that moment, the golden chains shot forth directly, dividing into countless streams as they lashed straight toward Lu Yuan.

"You have thoroughly enraged the Eternals. I'll give you one last chance. Release me at once, then submit completely. Only then will you have a chance to live!" Even after seeing all this, Yu Qing still continued speaking, still trying to force Lu Yuan into submission.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, sensed the terrifying might of those chains. Then, upon hearing Yu Qing's words, killing intent appeared in his eyes.

"How noisy."

The moment his words fell, the power of the Great Sun's Furnace above his head was released in full.

Then he clenched his hand.

In the next instant, Yu Qing's body exploded directly, utterly obliterated.

He knew that Yu Heng was extremely powerful. If he kept a burden in his hand, it would likely become troublesome. And since he and them had already chosen to stand against each other, there was no need for further courtesy. So he directly killed the person in his grasp.

Having done that, Lu Yuan stepped forward. Purple lightning coiled around his body.

"You are courting death!" When Yu Heng saw his clanswoman killed, boundless fury filled his eyes as he stepped forward as well.

In the next instant, his figure vanished from sight. The halos above his head radiated even fiercer light than before. At the same time, the countless chains were like golden flood dragons as they surged forward together with him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire void trembled.

All eyes turned toward them.

A battle between a young powerhouse of the Eternals and the human Lu Yuan was enough to temporarily alter the balance of the world.

And among the onlookers, most hoped Lu Yuan would die in this battle.

The reason was simple. Ever since his appearance, how many had been suppressed by him? They did not even dare do anything excessive.

If this man died, then for them, that would undoubtedly be good news.

At last, under the gaze of the crowd, the two clashed.

Yu Heng truly lived up to being a member of the Eternals.

With one punch, he moved the surrounding myriad Chains of Divine Judgment together with it. These chains radiated terrifying power, and with only the lightest sweep, they shattered nearby mountains.

At this moment, Yu Heng truly resembled a god. Every strike he unleashed was boundlessly powerful.

If it were anyone else, ninety-nine percent of the Outer Cosmos beings present would likely not be able to withstand even a single move.

Unfortunately for them, Lu Yuan was the exception. Faced with Yu Heng's overpowering assault, he showed not the slightest fear.

Golden vital qi and the Great Sun's Furnace shone together, radiating wave after wave of overwhelmingly powerful might.

At the same time, he channeled the Jade Emperor's Divine Thunder Art, causing bolt after bolt of purple lightning to descend from the heavens and collide directly with those golden chains.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the two battled, every single clash shook the sky. Golden light and purple light intertwined.

They fought high in the air, and the force of their battle swept through a hundred miles of surrounding space, which is the Yellow Mountain Range.

It had undergone expansion because of the awakening. Had this been before, the entire region would already have been destroyed outright.

"This Lu Yuan is actually this powerful. He has already reached the Lesser Sage Realm. If he is allowed to continue growing, what then?"

As Lei Xiao of the Celestials watched the battle, shock surfaced in his eyes. Though he did not know Yu Heng's exact identity, the fact that he came from the Eternals meant he absolutely belonged among the foremost experts of the younger generation.

This was a race that stood shoulder to shoulder with the Ji Clan. And now Lu Yuan was fighting such a person without yielding even the slightest bit of ground.

If news of this spread, his reputation would surpass even what it had been before. And Lei Xiao also thought of one more thing.

How long had the Milky Way Starfield started awakening?

And yet Lu Yuan had already reached this point. If he were given another few decades, he might directly step into the realm of an Immortal. At that point, suppressing him with ease would clearly become impossible.

Lei Xiao was not the only one. The other Outer Cosmos beings also swallowed hard when they saw the fight. Lu Yuan's strength had truly exceeded all of their expectations.

Meanwhile, Yu Hong, who had yet to make a move, also felt a lingering fear in his heart after witnessing the battle. Fortunately, he had not fully chosen to fight Lu Yuan earlier. Otherwise, he would likely not have survived even a single move.

This won't do. The mythical secret realm of Yellow Mountain is about to open. If Lord Yu Heng expends too much in this battle, then others may simply sit back and reap the benefits without doing anything. Wouldn't that make this entire trip for nothing? I have to do something.

Yu Hong thought this through. He knew that an enormous number of beings had come to Yellow Mountain, and that there might even be some hidden in the shadows.

The Eternals were not invincible. It would already be difficult enough for them to seize the fortune within. They absolutely had to preserve enough strength.

At that moment, his gaze landed on Zhu Qingyu and the others. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He thought that since these people had been brought here by Lu Yuan, if he could seize them instead, then perhaps he could reverse the situation and use them to threaten Lu Yuan into complete submission.

Once that thought arose, a gleam immediately appeared in Yu Hong's eyes.
