Everyone stepped forward, one foot after another, towards the gate of the Divine Realm. Despite bearing immense pressure, they stood as unshakeable as mountains, their sole thought being to enter the Divine Realm.
As time passed, the gate to the Divine Realm began to loosen, even showing signs of closing altogether.
The old man in green robes turned ashen. Once the gate to the Divine Realm closed, he would be forever severed from it, a crushing blow for him. After all, he had waited for so many years, and if he could not enter the Divine Realm, he would surely collapse, finding it unbearable.
Lu Fan also frowned, clearly not expecting the gate to the Divine Realm to close at this moment. It seemed that to step into the Divine Realm, one needed not only a good opportunity but also formidable strength. If one's strength were immense, they would not be affected by the power of the Divine Realm.
"There is only one chance to step into the Divine Realm!" Tian Long roared. "We cannot let this opportunity slip away, even if it means our annihilation!"
Lu Fan nodded, unleashing his supreme techniques and charging towards the Divine Realm. Unfortunately, with every step, he felt as if he were carrying the weight of a mountain, a colossal stone pressing him down, making it increasingly difficult to advance.
"With your strength, it is impossible to truly step into the Divine Realm!" the old man in green robes declared. "Why don't you all join forces to help me ascend to the Divine Realm? Once I become a divine being, I will surely protect you!"
In response to these words, Monk Wu Dao chuckled, "Your words are not to be trusted. Furthermore, no one would let go of this opportunity. After all, becoming a god happens only once. If not now, we will all be dead by the next time!"
"You old monk, your mouth speaks of benevolence and righteousness, yet you are utterly selfish!" the old man in green robes cursed.
"The gate to the Divine Realm is about to open. If we do not enter now, there may be no opportunity left!" Lu Fan's voice rang out, his aura instantly surging to its peak. In that instant, he leaped into the air, with an unstoppable momentum, and stepped towards the Divine Realm.
"He broke through? How is this possible!" Tian Long exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief. Lu Fan had broken through under the pressure of the Divine Realm, and his post-breakthrough aura was extraordinary, even terrifying.
"Demigod!" Monk Wu Dao was also shaken by the sight. Lu Fan's previous cultivation level was not exceedingly high, yet to have forcefully broken through to the demigod level under the pressure of the Divine Realm was utterly astonishing. More importantly, after becoming a demigod, Lu Fan seemed at ease before the gate of the Divine Realm, rather than distressed.
"Indeed, powerful strength allows one to become the most dazzling existence wherever they go!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, speaking without any pretense.
"Give me a hand, and let us enter the Divine Realm together!" the old man in green robes implored. "I will not treat you unfairly. Once we reach the Divine Realm, I will surely compensate you!"
"A joke. A person like you is not worthy of becoming a god!" Lu Fan shrugged, "You're thinking too much if you expect me to help you. The fact that I haven't taken this opportunity to utterly destroy you should be enough!"
"If you do not help me, I will seek trouble with you once I reach the Divine Realm!" the old man in green robes said coldly. "You had better think carefully; I always keep my word!"
"Your confidence is quite something!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "I don't know what you're thinking to dare utter such words. My aura has already reached the demigod level, and the pressure of the Divine Realm does not impede me greatly. Speaking to me like this, do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"The gate to the Divine Realm is about to close. Do you still intend to fight me?" the old man in green robes said coldly. "I advise you not to act rashly. There are only two demigods present, and only we two can become gods. The rest are mere ants!"
"You are mistaken. In front of me, you are also an ant!" Lu Fan's eyes glinted with a faint coldness, and in that instant, he lunged towards the old man in green robes. The words of the old man in green robes had completely provoked him. While he had not intended to act initially, it now seemed unnecessary to hold back.
The old man in green robes' expression changed. He tried to block, but his movements were incredibly slow, and his face turned ashen.
Boom…
In that very instant, a rumbling sound erupted. The old man in green robes' face turned ashen, and blood sprayed from his mouth. Lu Fan's sudden attack was something he had not anticipated, and he was filled with rage.
"The gate to the Divine Realm is about to close, we cannot wait any longer!" Tian Long's voice echoed, his gaze becoming even more serious. The situation had reached a point where there was no room for error; if they failed in this final step, it would be a tremendous setback for them.
Hearing this, Lu Fan's gaze turned sharp, and he looked towards the old man in green robes. "Today marks your death, and no one can save you!"
The old man in green robes' expression shifted, and he began to retreat, his eyes filled with panic. He had never imagined things would come to this.
"Kill him!" Monk Wu Dao's voice rang out, tinged with a cold, murderous intent.
"The old monk is indeed ruthless!" the old man in green robes' eyes were icy, with a faint, eerie glow. Monk Wu Dao's words clearly served a significant purpose.
Lu Fan remained silent, and in the blink of an eye, he thrust himself towards the old man in green robes without any hesitation.
"As long as you spare me, I will satisfy whatever you desire!" the old man in green robes said earnestly, his eyes filled with terror. He had finally managed to become a demigod, only to find himself in such a predicament.
"I'm truly sorry, but that's likely not possible!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a faint cold glint in his eyes, as if the old man in green robes before him were already a corpse.
The old man in green robes' face turned ashen, and a look of despair washed over him. He had not anticipated things turning out this way; this was not what he had wanted.
Boom…
A loud crashing sound echoed, and the old man in green robes met his demise. Monk Wu Dao's form transformed into a beam of light, attempting to surge into the Divine Realm, but in that instant, he was repelled by the power of the Divine Realm, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his expression turning extremely grim.
Lu Fan and Tian Long exchanged glances, their bodies surging forward, charging towards the Divine Realm with a powerful aura. Zhao Xiaotian watched this unfold, her heart stirred. Lu Fan and Tian Long had entered the Divine Realm, right before her eyes. Although she had not entered the Divine Realm herself, she was content.
