Chapter 529 - They won’t be able to Do Much, So Long as I’m Around
An invitation with gold lettering was sent to the Heavenly Palace’s headquarters.
Everyone was shocked by this.
The invitation was actually from the fighters from the Blessed Enclave, inviting those from the Human Alliance to discuss matters that would’ve determined the fate of the world.
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Palace was the Human Alliance’s strongest supporter. The Human Alliance would not be able to do much of anything without first getting approval from the Heavenly Palace.
It also meant that everyone knew that the Heavenly Palace needed to be taken out before they could gain control of the Human Alliance.
The advent of the most powerful beings from the Blessed Enclave came with the arrival of that invitation with gold lettering.
“Being able to come in waves like that truly says volumes of the Blessed Enclave’s powers. The Heavenly Palace had just put the last wave down, yet another one comes just like that. This one is more terrifying than the last.”
“Someone saw those of ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm arriving.”
“Man, Yun Shuangying and his people had been put down very quickly. Everyone saw just how impossibly powerful they were, and they were only at the eighth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm. One could just imagine how terrifying those at the ninth tier would be.”
“I heard a sectmaster from one of the sects in the Blessed Enclave will be personally showing up. Those at the Ninth Tier of Divine Treasure Realm are truly terrifying. Someone actually recorded that guy suppressing a tsunami all on his own.”
“I heard that an old man nearly bisected a military base in the Region of Japan with just a single swing of his sword. Rumor has it that the guy is directly related to the sectmasters of a sect in the Blessed Enclave. That was considered an act of revenge by the true lineage of the sectmasters of WuTang; they wanted to avenge the WuTang disciples who died back in World War II.”
“I’ve also heard that the WuTang Sectmaster had traveled all over the Region of Japan, tearing down tens of temples and Shinto dojos.”
“Man, those at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm sure are terrifying.”
One by one, fighters at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm arrived. They went around wreaking havoc, making it look as if they wanted everyone to know that top-notch fighters of the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm have arrived.
Those terrifying beings threw their weight about like living gods. It seemed like almost nobody was around to stop them.
There was even footage of Lu Shanshan fighting an old man dressed in black above the Pacific Ocean.
Many people throughout the world had recently learned of Lu Shanshan’s powers; they learned that she was almost the strongest to be found throughout the whole world. While she paled in comparison to Lu Xuan, people could still see how easily she took out a fighter at the eighth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm. They knew that she was not to be trifled with, that her powers far exceeded common fighters at the eighth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm.
However, even she was unable to win against that old man dressed in black. They simply fought over a huge distance before that old man took his leave.
A military base of the Region of America was right beneath where they fought. Everyone who was there was deeply frightened.
Other than that, people had witnessed an insanely powerful fighter breaking into an Egyptian pyramid left with things in it. That fighter happened to run into Yun Ling’er—Lu Xuan’s disciple—who happened to have just finished a mission nearby.
Both parties fought on the spot. To many people’s surprise, Yun Ling’er did not win the fight. However, the other party was unable to gain an upper hand either and simply left shortly afterward.
Before long, all kinds of news had spread all across the world.
In the era where news could travel well past the speed of sound, everyone all over the world was already raving about the events almost as soon as they occurred.
The images of those beings were taken and spread all over the internet, which brought everyone into despair. The 10 insanely powerful beings that came one after another almost suffocated the entire world.
Those fighters were so impossibly powerful that conventional countermeasures were utterly useless against them. Common fighters at the Divine Treasure Realm probably couldn’t even withstand a single attack from them.
“Things are not at their worst just yet. This time of peace will end when even those from the Heavenly Palace can’t stop them.”
The more perceptive ones could already tell that, despite the dire state of things at the moment, things could get worse.
That was because both sides were still able to fight to a standstill. While those 10 fighters had been able to cause a lot of commotion and brought about extremely significant losses for those who were affected, there was no mass indiscriminate slaughter seen anywhere. This was because both sides were still able to fight each other to a standstill.
On the other hand, the Human Alliance was able to suppress their own anxiety and refrained from using the likes of nuclear weapons to take out those fighters.
Otherwise, the massive stockpile of nuclear weapons that the once-united Human Alliance would have been able to easily overwhelm those insanely powerful beings.
The Human Alliance was simply deferring to the Heavenly Palace in that case, where those insanely powerful beings were essentially showing off their strength to the world.
They were displaying their powers of destroying the world, calling the attention of both the Heavenly Palace and the Human Alliance.
Ming Yueyao was currently waiting anxiously at Yunxuan Villa. Because Dragon was busy taking care of sporadic cases happening all over the place, she was the only one who could talk to Lu Xuan right now.
Ming Yueyao seemed rather anxious when she saw Lu Xuan show up wearing a bluish-white robe. “Mr. Lu, how do you think we should handle this?”
Lu Xuan then said, “There is no need for us to worry about this. Right now, they’re merely trying to show off their strength. All you people need to do is clean up the mess they left behind.”
Ming Yueyao then asked with a rather anxious tone, “Shouldn’t you be taking them out, Mr. Lu?”
Few fighters on Earth were at the absolute pinnacle of excellence. That number was even smaller when those who did not have any relations with the Blessed Enclave were taken into account. Those capable of taking out beings at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm were almost all in the Yunxuan Villa.
While Dragon’s level of power was at the eighth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm, he was merely at the tail end of the realm. He was considered to be among the weakest among those at the eighth tier, making it impossible for him to stand against those at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm.
Aside from him, there were people like Yun Ling’er, Lu Shanshan, and Lu Guoguo back in the Yunxuan Villa. Since they were on equal footing, they were all capable of fighting such beings.
However, that didn’t mean that they were guaranteed to win.
They were still incapable of defeating those beings.

Everyone placed all of their remaining hope on Lu Xuan alone.
Lu Xuan then said, “I’m waiting for someone.”
Ming Yueyao wore a rather doubtful look on her face as she asked, “Who would that be?” She couldn’t understand why Lu Xuan refused to act even at a time like this. He was acting completely different from usual.
Lu Xuan simply replied, “An archenemy of mine, the first and greatest disciple of the Taichu Path: Yan Han. I’m waiting for him to show up and I don’t want to intimidate him right now. We’ve been dragging this out for far too long. I’m gonna kill him the instant he steps foot on Earth.”
Ming Yueyao was rather confused by what Lu Xuan said, completely unable to fathom just how Yan Han managed to become Lu Xuan’s archenemy. They have never even heard of someone like that before.
What she did understand was that Lu Xuan didn’t seem to bother with any of those insanely powerful beings at the ninth tier of Divine Treasure Realm. Even so, Yan Han, who was considered to be an enigma at that point, managed to put Lu Xuan on guard instead.
Lu Xuan then added, “Didn’t they send me an invitation? They were inviting me to show up three days later. Naturally, I will be attending whatever they have planned that day. It doesn’t matter what tricks they have up their sleeves. They won’t do anything at all. I just don’t wanna scare him right now.”
Lu Xuan’s eyes glimmered with a tinge of ferocity as he said, “You may leave now. I’ll take care of this. They won’t be able to do much as long as I’m around.”
