The Westerner held the walkie-talkie, his expression solemn.

The others beside him continued to observe.

"Please mark the specific location, over."

Soon, a voice came through the walkie-talkie, also with a Western accent.

"Understood, understood."

The leading middle-aged Westerner responded, then took out a device similar to a computer and began to operate it.

Clearly, they had been preparing for this moment for a long time, and now was critical.

However, since Mount Tai is large and quite mysterious, marking the location was difficult.

Of course, for this person, it didn't need to be very specific.

An approximate location was sufficient.

After completing this, he transmitted the location out.

"It's almost ready, continue to follow, ensure the target is not lost, but be careful, don't follow too closely."

At this time, the leader spoke, a sinister gleam flashing in his eyes: "When the missile launches, we could easily be affected."

"The great Holy Angels have ordered that we must kill the one called Lu Yuan this time, and there can be no accidents, remember?"

"Yes!"

As the words fell.

Everyone present immediately nodded, their expressions solemn.

Indeed, the reason they came to Mount Tai and locked onto Lu Yuan's position

was to facilitate the subsequent use of their means, as everyone present belonged to the Vatican's forces and were Awakened.

Since last time, when the Eleven Apostles were slain, the higher-ups were enraged, especially the Holy Angel.

But they knew Lu Yuan was very strong, capable of suppressing the Golden Body Realm's South Sea Giant Demon.

The strength can be said to be quite terrifying.

Soon.

They devised a method, using powerful thermal weapons!

This plan immediately received support from some big figures.

Because Lu Yuan was a human king, which was very unfavorable for their future situation.

If they could kill him, that would undoubtedly be a very good result, allowing them to do more in the new era.

After all, almost everyone knows.

The world today is not the same as it was before.

The power balance between various parties will inevitably be reshuffled in the future.

And an entity like Lu Yuan is too disruptive to the balance.

Who knows how strong this person will become in the future?

It must be dealt with as early as possible!

"Alright, action."

The leader put away the device in hand and gave the order.

The others said nothing, nodded, and descended the mountain quickly.

Meanwhile.

Lu Yuan, with Zhu Qingyu and the others, continued towards the mountain's peak.

Although Mount Tai now, after its mysterious resurgence, was taller and more magnificent than before.

But everyone, almost all being Awakened, possessed Extraordinary Power.

So climbing the mountain was nothing to them.

However, the issue was.

As they continued to climb upward.

The encountered Exotic Beasts grew increasingly powerful, hindering their progress.

A few couldn't endure, reaching their limit, and finally had to choose to turn back.

Bam bam bam~

In the sky, helicopters and drones rained firepower.

The land, trees, and more were all destroyed.

At the same time, Zhu Qingyu and the others engaged in battle with the Exotic Beasts, each displaying different techniques.

North Emperor, with a strong physique, attacked while surrounded by a bronze-colored radiance, and the Ice Fairy surged with cold energy, turning beasts into ice sculptures, as did the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and Monk Huikong.

However, these two had very special methods, using Divine Techniques and Breathing Techniques from both Daoist and Buddhist schools.

Each move had variations, and at this moment seemed to faintly surpass North Emperor and Ice Fairy.

Yet Lu Yuan did not choose to act, knowing these people's potential was great.

The current training was good for them.

They would become strong in the future.

So he sometimes wouldn't intervene.

And Lu Yuan could also tell that the Pure Yang Little Celestial Master and Huikong had likely cultivated some Visualization Technique.

Continuing like this, they would inevitably surpass North Emperor and Ice Fairy in the future, as for Zhu Qingyu, her future potential would also be greater.

However, it was just the beginning after all.

By estimation.

These people wouldn't last long either, reaching the mountainside would be their limit.

Because the Exotic Beasts further up were stronger and more numerous.

"Indeed, they are the elites favored by the upper echelons, their strength is quite impressive."

"Yes, after all, they exist in the Awakening Realm."

"But why doesn't King Lu make a move much, I wanted to see him crush the Exotic Beasts."

"Are you kidding? These beasts couldn't possibly make King Lu personally act, maybe the Beast Kings at the summit could."

"Right, after all, he is a human king."

People outside watched the live broadcast through drone cameras, choosing to comment.

Most of them were in the Initial Realm, seeing the Ice Fairy and others in battle with the Exotic Beasts felt quite impressive.

And they fully understood that the official forces' power was stronger than imagined, even without thermal weapons, their Awakened were very strong, more importantly, even Beidou Biotechnology's Ice Fairy and disciples of both Daoist and Buddhist schools came.

Ordinary people didn't think much, but those in private factions saw a lot.

Even Zhou Yunqiong, watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but frown.

The strength of these people wasn't important.

What mattered was that the official could gather them, also showcasing their foundation and strength to the outside world.

Fortunately, the Wuzhou Group had been low-key recently, not clashing with the upper tiers.

Otherwise, the current situation would be very troublesome.

At least.

We still need to prepare for a bit longer.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Zhou Yunqiong suddenly stared closely at the screen because she sensed that Lu Yuan seemed about to make a move.

In the scene, the group was already nearing the halfway point of Mount Tai, and most of the beasts had reached the Awakening Realm.

The usual firepower net could no longer suppress them, and more and more people chose to retreat down the mountain.

Even the North Emperor and Ice Fairy.

Also felt the strain.

"We can't go on; the exotic beasts are getting stronger, and it's difficult for us to continue climbing."

Ice Fairy had just slain a beast, her face a bit pale.

The power within her was already heavily depleted.

She was indeed reaching her limit.

Given her strength, reaching this far was already quite commendable.

"I'm in the same situation, didn't expect I couldn't even reach halfway up." The North Emperor spoke timely, his bronze upper body showing some scars, with a dead giant wolf in front of him, its body jade-like.

Obviously exceptional in physical prowess, though ultimately defeated, it also caused him some harm.

On the other side, Zhu Qingyu, Pure Yang Little Celestial Master, and others were also constantly panting.

But at this moment, before everyone.

There were still over dozens of Awakening Realm exotic beasts.

Without the suppression from the weapons above, they wouldn't even have time to catch their breath.

"Alright."

At this time, Lu Yuan stepped forward: "The purpose of the training has been achieved, we can stop here."

There was a smile in his eyes as he checked the time, feeling it was just right and not wanting to waste more.

He didn't say more and directly stepped forward.

Boom!

In an instant.

A powerful aura vibrated on his body.

Golden blood energy surrounded him, shooting out brilliant light, piercing everywhere.

Under his feet, the ground cracked, rocks shattered, and the mighty force stirred up heavy storms.

Lu Yuan's body was like a Primordial Giant Mountain.

Just one step forward carried unmatched power.

Whoosh~ whoosh~

Ahead.

The hundreds of exotic beasts giving Zhu Qingyu and others headaches.

Were instantly suppressed by this aura, their bodies cracking, some even directly turning into blood mist.

In just an instant.

The beasts ahead all perished.

The scene turned completely silent.

And after doing all this, Lu Yuan did not turn back, only said softly, "You guys head down now; leave the rest to me."

After saying that, his legs bent slightly, and like a cannonball, he shot forward.

The golden blood energy around him was even more majestic than before, rampaging without restraint.

For a moment, the mountains and forests trembled.

Several birds in the air cried out miserably and fell to the ground.

The armed helicopters and drones also reacted, following him since they were on a mission.

"Why do I feel like we haven't reached halfway because we're dragging behind?" Pure Yang Little Celestial Master suddenly blurted out, his eyes filled with confusion.

Before, they set out from the mountain's foot, only to find the journey more challenging and their numbers dwindling.

Yet now, with Lu Yuan in action, everything was resolved as effortlessly as before.

The Awakening Realm exotic beasts had no chance of resistance before him.

The mere release of aura shattered them.

"Yeah, just like back at Ancient Shu Sword Mountain." Monk Huikong also spoke, feeling quite troubled.

Clearly, during this time.

He had worked hard, made significant progress.

But in comparison, it was far from enough; the gap was enormous.

"Dean Zheng said there were two purposes for climbing Mount Tai this time: one for training, two to deal with some exotic beasts early on so King Lu would have it easier, but now I think he... is enough on his own." Zhu Qingyu also spoke, though softly, everyone present heard it.

They were initially stunned, then nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

Given that aura.

We aren't needed at all...

Immediately, everyone exchanged glances, then shared the same thought, head down the mountain!

On the other side.

Lu Yuan continued to climb rapidly, becoming a mere afterimage.

Any exotic beast encountered along the way was either crushed by his strength or intimidated by his presence, fleeing as far as possible, including a Shackles Realm Beast King.

During this time, he didn't even need to lift a finger, rushing straight up, surpassing the halfway point in no time.

Simply unstoppable!

In the sky.

The cameras on the drones could barely keep up, struggling to broadcast the footage.

The viewers watching the stream were all shocked silent upon witnessing this scene.

For this was the first time everyone could so clearly and closely see Lu Yuan in action, surpassing what they imagined.

"King Lu is mighty, almost inhuman now, right?"

"How long has it been, he already surpassed the halfway point, too strong."

"Dominating all the way, doesn't even need to lift a hand, just aura alone, is this the human king?"

"Even Beast Kings aren't a match, can't impede his stride, facing countless exotic beasts like walking on flat ground, this is true invincibility."

Everyone was stunned, feeling it was too exaggerated.

Truly, once silent now shocking the world!

Awakening Realm, Shackles Realm, all like paper before Lu Yuan...

Even Zhou Yunqiong, upon seeing this, couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, a glint flashing within, overwhelmed by how strong he was, beyond her expectations.
