As the Lu Yuan Grand Sage lunged, he extended his two humongous palms as if he was going to pick the stars and the moon from the heaven itself. Simultaneously, he made a grab for both Wang Lin and Shi Tianhao with his left and right hands.
He was naturally inclined to battle and while he believed in improving his own skills through battling against others. While he was arrogant, he had a certain knack for spotting worthy foes too.
When he was still active in the Barren Expanses, he challenged many of the Ten Demonic Saints, including the Golden Roc Grand Sage and the Purple Sea Dragon King. The only one he did not dare provoke was the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.
Other than that, he had battled with other Undying Demon Soul Third Level demons and even Immortal Soul Third Level human cultivators. Every opponent he chose was just slightly better than him. After all, he sought self-improvement, not suicide.
