Lu Fan's lips curled upwards, carrying a chilling edge, as if everything was within his grasp.
"Good, good, good!"
The Lord of Hell sneered, finding Lu Fan's arrogance unbearable.
At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor struck fiercely, bombarding the Lord of Hell.
Only by resolving the Lord of Hell first could he assist Lu Fan. Otherwise, Lu Fan might perish here today.
Within the imperial city of the Hell Dynasty, the ground was littered with corpses, blood flowing from every body, presenting a ghastly sight.
Witnessing the scene before them, everyone's expressions grew heavier. They knew all too well that if this continued, both great dynasties would be destroyed.
The Lord of Hell blocked the Heavenly Emperor's attack and turned his gaze towards Lu Fan, noticing the extremely peculiar aura surrounding him.
Though only at the Immortal Emperor realm, even a Heavenly Lord-level expert would struggle to deal with Lu Fan.
More importantly, a flame enveloped Lu Fan, a flame that prevented the remnant soul of Emperor Fengdu from daring to approach, appearing quite apprehensive.
"To think that in the Heavenly Realm, someone could control divine fire!" the remnant soul of Emperor Fengdu sneered. "While it poses a fatal threat to me, your cultivation realm is too weak!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "In that case, why don't you try and see how my realm fares against yours!"
Emperor Fengdu spoke no further. A terrifying black energy surged around him, an exceptionally turbulent and powerful aura that stirred the heart.
Simultaneously, everyone could clearly sense the formidable nature of this aura, no less potent than any other.
"It's truly unexpected that this young fellow can contend with the remnant soul of Emperor Fengdu. He is indeed worthy of being the commander of the Heavenly Dynasty!"
Many within the Hell Dynasty spoke highly of Lu Fan, holding him in high regard.
The Heavenly Emperor and others also ceased their attacks, silently observing the scene. This was a battle for survival for them.
After all, with such a powerful aura, the might of Emperor Fengdu could be imagined.
However, the power of the flames surrounding Lu Fan was also extraordinary. That flame power seemed capable of burning the entire world, leaving an immeasurable aura in its wake.
The two powerful figures clashed, emitting an unparalleled might. Every corner of the Hell Dynasty was filled with this divine energy, awe-inspiring and deterring any from approaching rashly, lest they be consumed by its power.
"This battle today should be my final battle in the Heavenly Realm!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy, his aura continuously ascending, his entire being reaching a state of selflessness.
"What is happening? His aura seems to be constantly rising. Has he broken through again?"
"That's right, I can feel it too. His aura is unusual. Is he really about to break through?"
Many exclaimed, their expressions earnest. After all, this was no small matter for them.
At the same time, everyone could clearly sense that Lu Fan's aura had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. If it continued, he might ascend to the Heavenly Lord realm. If that were to happen, it would be truly terrifying. After all, reaching the Heavenly Lord realm would place his power on par with the ruler of the Heavenly Dynasty.
More terrifying still, even at just the Immortal Emperor realm, Lu Fan displayed the strength of a Heavenly Lord. If he truly reached the Heavenly Lord realm, his power would likely be even more formidable. Who in the Heavenly Realm could then oppose Lu Fan?
"This brat's aura is climbing. We cannot let him have the chance!"
The Lord of Hell frowned, his gaze shifting to Emperor Fengdu, his eyes growing profound.
Emperor Fengdu remained silent, instead launching another powerful assault, carrying a torrential force. In that instant, he surged towards Lu Fan. Lu Fan's aura continued to climb, while his remnant soul grew weaker. If this continued, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to the Hell Dynasty.
Boom...
With a tremendous impact, Lu Fan was violently repelled. Simultaneously, his aura grew even stronger, and he revealed a faint smile. "Though this remnant soul is formidable, it cannot last long. Moreover, I have now reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, just one step away from the Heavenly Lord realm. Even at the remnant soul's peak, I still do not fear it!"
"Good lad, truly arrogant!"
Emperor Fengdu let out a cold laugh. "Since that is the case, let me witness what methods you possess to dare speak such words!"
"Divine fire from the Divine Realm, capable of burning away all darkness in this world!"
A flame flickered in Lu Fan's palm. "Therefore, I believe my divine fire can completely incinerate your remnant soul!"
Emperor Fengdu's expression changed dramatically. He had been apprehensive precisely because of the divine fire in Lu Fan's possession. If the divine fire were unleashed, it would be no good thing for him.
"It's truly unexpected that the pressure of divine fire is so terrifying!"
Witnessing the scene, the Heavenly Emperor's lips curved into a smile. This was the situation he most wished to see. This way, he no longer had to worry about any problems.
After all, with Lu Fan holding the fort, even a remnant soul of an Emperor might have to concede.
"Brat, you are truly fortunate!"
Emperor Fengdu looked at Lu Fan. "You guessed correctly. Divine fire exerts immense pressure on me. Any misstep could lead to the destruction of my soul!"
"In that case, you should leave quickly! After all, I desire the Hell Dynasty, not your life!"
Lu Fan spoke, his expression appearing indifferent, as if everything had been settled in his eyes.
"I can leave, and I can yield, but how will you explain yourself if you come to the Divine Realm?"
Emperor Fengdu sneered. "Destroying my Hell Dynasty, how can I let it go so easily!"
"What, you yourself are still in the Divine Realm, and you still wish to cover the heavens with one hand and control the Heavenly Realm?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his gaze becoming sharp, as if everything was beneath his notice.
Following these words, Emperor Fengdu's expression instantly soured. Being spoken to like that by Lu Fan made him quite displeased.
However, Lu Fan gave him no opportunity. A divine fire shot from his hand. Emperor Fengdu instantly perished. Although it was merely a remnant soul, it was still astonishing. Emperor Fengdu was likely a being who had been immensely powerful in the Heavenly Realm, yet his remnant soul was now burned to ashes.
"This..."
Xue Long was completely stunned by the scene before him, unsure of what to do.
This was the foundation of the Hell Dynasty, and it had been destroyed by Lu Fan. The Lord of Hell would likely be so enraged that he would spit blood and die.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" The Lord of Hell retreated, his face filled with disbelief.
