Void Darkness Light Sea, Star Palace.
Above the Ten Thousand Land Realm, two streaks of escaping light crossed the heavens. In the blink of an eye, they passed through countless Star Maps and descended before the gates of the majestic palace at the very heart of the realm.
"Fellow Daoist, follow me."
Upper True Haoyuan raised a hand. Lu Yang did not stand on ceremony, immediately stepping into the palace. His heavy footsteps upon the stairs echoed through its halls.
"Boom—!"
In an instant, as though some mechanism had been triggered, boundless majestic radiance erupted from the previously silent palace and came crashing down upon Lu Yang!
Lu Yang's eyes narrowed at once.
It was not one aura, but thirty. The weakest among them were all at the Golden Core Middle Stage. They had joined their auras together, pressing down on him like a towering mountain.
For a moment, Lu Yang seemed to see a vast and boundless ocean of dharma power crashing toward him, while he himself was but a lone boat upon its waves, able only to drift with the current and be tossed about at will. Had it been an Early Golden Core cultivator standing here, they would at the very least have been forced to halt, perhaps even retreat!
Yet Lu Yang did not stop.
"Hmph!"
His second footstep rang out, entirely unlike the first. The instant his foot came down, the entire palace let out a tremendous creak as though unable to bear the strain!
Almost simultaneously, every Dharma Power Dao True Lord in the palace targeting Lu Yang felt their vision blur. It was as though they saw a pillar holding up the heavens amid the ocean, steadying the seas and cleaving through the waves, radiant and resplendent as it soared into the skies.
