Boom...
At that very instant, a startling explosion resounded. Lu Fan and the Northern Sea Dragon Lord collided once more, but this time, it was even more terrifying than before.
The Northern Sea Dragon Lord felt his arm go numb. His body was continuously forced backward, and his expression turned grim.
He was the Northern Sea Dragon Lord, the esteemed Northern Sea Dragon Lord, yet he was defeated by a human youth. How could he possibly accept this?
It was likely that the entire Northern Sea Dragon Clan would absolutely refuse to accept such an outcome. After all, the Northern Sea Dragon Lord was the most powerful being in the entire Northern Sea, yet he was so easily overwhelmed.
Pfft...
The Northern Sea Dragon Lord suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face looking exceptionally unpleasant. He gazed at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with coldness. "This is impossible, absolutely impossible! How did you do it?"
"In the face of absolute strength, everything else is but an illusion!" Lu Fan shrugged. "Nothing is impossible. Losing is losing!"
"You are correct, losing is losing!"
The Northern Sea Dragon Lord revealed a wry smile. "It's just a shame you haven't truly defeated me. Do you know why our Northern Sea Dragon Clan has managed to occupy this Northern Sea? Do you truly believe our Northern Sea Dragon Clan is that weak?"
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, his brow furrowing. He could clearly sense that the Northern Sea Dragon Lord before him was implying something.
"Are you thinking of using the Dragon Pearl?"
Xue Long frowned, his gaze fixed on the Northern Sea Dragon Lord. "The Dragon Pearl is the most precious treasure of our Northern Sea Dragon Clan. Using it might not be entirely appropriate!"
"There is nothing inappropriate. If I deem it appropriate, then it is!" the Northern Sea Dragon Lord sneered. In that instant, he produced a radiant pearl. This pearl appeared exceptionally terrifying, causing everyone present to retreat.
Especially the people of the Northern Sea Dragon Clan, their expressions were quite solemn. They naturally hadn't expected the Northern Sea Dragon Lord to bring out the Dragon Pearl to deal with Lu Fan, and to do so so openly, causing even more apprehension in their hearts.
Numerous aquatic beings prostrated themselves, their eyes filled with reverence. They dared not show any disrespect towards the sacred artifact of the Dragon Clan.
"The Dragon Pearl!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If I recall correctly, the Dragon Pearl possesses extremely powerful spiritual energy, even comparable to ancient divine artifacts. You using the Dragon Pearl against me, even if you win, would hardly be a righteous victory!"
"In a true duel, there is never a concept of an unrighteous victory!"
The corners of his mouth curved slightly. The Northern Sea Dragon Lord spoke frankly, "You are destined to die today. Daring to cause trouble in my Northern Sea territory, I will make you pay the price!"
In that sudden moment, the spiritual energy surrounding the Dragon Pearl controlled by the Northern Sea Dragon Lord exploded. The pearl also emanated an unparalleled aura, crushing everyone present.
Under the formidable pressure of the Dragon Clan, everyone prostrated themselves. Even Lu Fan felt immense pressure, his body being pushed downward, his expression turning grim.
"Uncle, he is the Commander of the Northwest. If you truly kill him, it will surely bring disaster!" Lin Xuan quickly stepped forward. "I hope Uncle can consider this carefully!"
"I have already made myself clear. Someone from the Heavenly Court has intruded into my Northern Sea territory and dares to be so arrogant. How can I tolerate this!"
Faced with these words, Lin Xuan felt quite helpless and didn't know how to persuade him. He didn't wish for anything to happen to Lu Fan, otherwise, it would be a disaster for the entire aquatic race.
At the same time, Lu Fan forcibly straightened his body, his gaze turning towards the Northern Sea Dragon Lord. "Do you truly believe you are the only one with a Dragon Pearl?"
"What do you mean by that?"
The Northern Sea Dragon Lord spoke coldly, with a hint of chill in his voice.
"Have you ever heard of the Supreme Divine Artifact?"
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, the Haotian Tower surged from his palm, carrying an unparalleled aura.
Upon seeing this scene, the Northern Sea Dragon Lord trembled violently, his expression instantly turning grim. "Ancient divine artifact! You are actually wielding the might of a divine artifact!"
"Since you are willing to use the Dragon Pearl, why can't I use a divine artifact?"
Lu Fan spoke coldly. "I came to the Northern Sea Peak intending to cooperate. Unfortunately, you insisted on your own way and refused, repeatedly obstructing me. Since that is the case, if I destroy your Northern Sea, what can you do!"
"Destroy my Northern Sea?"
The Northern Sea Dragon Lord laughed heartily. "Such arrogant words! Unfortunately, you lack the ability. Even with a peerless divine weapon in your hand, I can still contend with you!"
"While the Dragon Pearl possesses immense power, attempting to contend with a peerless divine weapon is akin to seeking your own demise!" Su Dan Xiao Shuo Wang
Xue Long's voice chimed in, his gaze fixed on the Northern Sea Dragon Lord. His expression appeared particularly solemn, and he was extremely concerned about this matter.
Facing these words, the Northern Sea Dragon Lord sneered. "Although you have defected from the aquatic race, I never held out hope for you. But I never imagined you would bring people to the Northern Sea to attempt to destroy it. You truly surprise me!"
"What we are doing is not to destroy the Northern Sea, but to ensure its long-term survival!"
Xue Long stated directly. "If the Hell Dynasty is not eradicated, how can we prosper? Must we truly wait until that day to regret our inaction?"
"Hmph!"
The Northern Sea Dragon Lord let out a cold snort, saying nothing further. He directly manipulated the Dragon Pearl, intending to engage Lu Fan in a decisive battle.
Lu Fan made no pretense of politeness, controlling the Haotian Tower, which exuded a supreme aura.
At that very moment, Lu Fan fiercely took control of everything, directly suppressing the Dragon Pearl's power and pinning it down so thoroughly that it had no ability to resist.
Witnessing this scene, the Northern Sea Dragon Lord's brow furrowed. He could clearly sense that even with the power of the Dragon Pearl, he was no match for Lu Fan.
"Matters have reached this point. Northern Sea Dragon Lord, why are you still so persistent!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If possible, the Northern Sea and the Heavenly Court should form an alliance. This might be the best choice!"
"Absolutely impossible!" the Northern Sea Dragon Lord gritted his teeth, still unwilling to concede.
"You have already lost, do you intend to renege?"
Lu Fan's voice was cold, carrying a palpable aura. The Northern Sea Dragon Lord's words filled him with renewed chill.
Meanwhile, the Northern Sea Dragon Lord stood stunned. With the Dragon Pearl suppressed, even if he wished to resist, he possessed no ability to do so. This was incredibly cruel for him.
"Things have come to this. Uncle, you must still consider carefully!"
Lin Xuan implored. With matters reaching this stage, if the Northern Sea Dragon Lord remained stubborn, Lu Fan would not easily let him off. At that point, the entire Northern Sea domain would be reduced to nothingness, and this was not mere speculation.
After all, the Northern Sea Dragon Lord had intended to kill Lu Fan earlier. If that had indeed happened, it would have undoubtedly led to endless turmoil.
