"Nothing is impossible!"
Lu Fan stepped forward slowly, appearing before everyone, seemingly as calm as still water, as if everything was within his grasp.
"This..."
The Azure-Clad Celestial God was stunned, finding it almost unbelievable.
He had clearly seen Lu Fan die a tragic death, and it was impossible for him to be standing before him.
But everything that was happening before his eyes caught him off guard, filling him with dread.
The Old Celestial God stood by, also filled with emotion. He had never imagined that Lu Fan was still alive; this was news that struck them like a thunderbolt.
"It seems my survival has surprised you all!" Lu Fan shrugged and said, "If it weren't for me, things probably wouldn't be like this. To see this scene now truly startles me!"
"It was all due to being misled by a villain, and I almost harmed the Divine Monarch!" the Old Celestial God said repeatedly, his face filled with self-reproach.
"If you didn't have greed in your heart, why would you have attacked me!"
Lu Fan suddenly looked at the Old Celestial God, his words carrying a sharp edge, as if every word and action of the Old Celestial God filled him with dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, the Old Celestial God's face fell, and he was consumed by regret.
If he hadn't been deluded and insisted on attacking Lu Fan, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
The events of today were greatly connected to him, filling him with grief and indignation.
"This is absolutely impossible, how could you possibly still be alive!" the Azure-Clad Celestial God spoke again, his heart filled with fear, as this was a tremendous shock to him.
Lu Fan being alive meant he couldn't control the Divine Realm. In the future, he would have no foothold in the entire Divine Realm, and he might even perish today.
"A mere bit of poison wanted my life?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Did you underestimate me too much? Am I really that pathetic? After all, no matter what, I am still a Divine Monarch of the Divine Realm!"
"Even so, you shouldn't possess such strength!"
With a solemn gaze, the Azure-Clad Celestial God stated directly, "That poisoned wine could dissipate divine power; it's impossible for it to achieve this!" Su Dan Novel Network
"You are, after all, still too young. My strength has reached the Wuwang realm, and nothing can harm me!" Lu Fan shrugged. "If it were an ordinary Divine Monarch, you might have succeeded in harming them, but unfortunately, you mistook me for someone else!"
"This..."
The Azure-Clad Celestial God stood there, his life filled with incredulity. After all, in his eyes, everything had been successful, and he was about to become a supreme figure.
But he had never imagined things would reach this point, catching him completely off guard.
"As long as the Divine Monarch is alive, I am content!" the Old Celestial God sighed. "I was ignorant of heaven and earth before, offending the Divine Monarch. I will never dare to repeat it. Today, I shall punish myself to seek the Divine Monarch's forgiveness!"
After speaking, the Old Celestial God struck himself with a palm, his millennia of cultivation instantly vanishing into nothingness. Though his eyes were filled with helplessness, this was perhaps his best ending.
Only in this way could he find peace of mind, at least not feel that he had failed the Divine Race.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan did not stop the Old Celestial God and the Azure-Clad Celestial God from their actions. They deserved punishment, and now that it had come to this, Lu Fan naturally wouldn't say much more.
The Divine Race members did not feel pity seeing the Old Celestial God meet his fate. Instead, they felt that the Old Celestial God's action was quite correct.
After all, harming a Divine Monarch was not a minor offense, and even within the entire Divine Race, such a thing should not be done.
"I truly never imagined things would come to this!"
With a solemn gaze, many Celestial Gods spoke, "If the Old Celestial God hadn't been so greedy, he wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"What has happened has happened; there's no use dwelling on it!"
Everyone shook their heads, their hearts filled with helplessness. Such an event was, in their eyes, quite unbelievable.
At the same time, Lu Fan looked at the Azure-Clad Celestial God, "The Old Celestial God has already met his end. Do you still wish to live?"
"It was all my momentary foolishness that offended the Divine Monarch. I beg the Divine Monarch for forgiveness!" the Azure-Clad Celestial God quickly clasped his fists. "In the future, I will serve you like an ox or a horse to repay your kindness!"
Lu Fan instantly smiled at these words, his eyes carrying a cold glint. "Do you really think I would let you off so easily?"
"Since the Divine Monarch has said so, then I have nothing more to say!"
The Azure-Clad Celestial God clasped his fists. "However, for the Divine Race to control the Divine Realm, there must be powerful beings! I am willing to be your vanguard, begging only for your exceptional mercy!"
"After showing you mercy, you would then deal with me?"
Lu Fan's lips curved slightly, with a hint of coldness. It seemed that in his eyes, everything was under control, and nothing could be of consequence before him.
"Since the Divine Monarch refuses to spare my life, I will fight to the death today and will never surrender easily!"
With icy eyes, the Azure-Clad Celestial God spoke directly. Since he dared to do such a thing, he would never give up.
"Do you think you are my match?" Lu Fan's lips curved slightly. "If you truly believe so, you might as well try and see if you can defeat me!"
"Whether I can defeat you is not yet decided!"
The Azure-Clad Celestial God stated directly, "After all, no one knows the final outcome of today's events. But if the Divine Monarch is willing to spare my life, I naturally won't fight you!"
"Your words are quite arrogant. Do you really think the people of the Divine Race will let you go?"
The figures of many Celestial Gods rose up, exuding an overwhelming aura, their gazes fixed on the Azure-Clad Celestial God. Their hearts were filled with immense dissatisfaction.
In their view, the Azure-Clad Celestial God's words were already disrespectful to the Divine Monarch.
Furthermore, to have done such a thing was simply despicable. Even if Lu Fan were to forgive him, they would not easily agree.
"Since you all have spoken, I have nothing to hide!"
With icy eyes, the Azure-Clad Celestial God's aura instantly reached its peak, appearing incredibly majestic.
"This is... the aura of a Divine Monarch?"
Sensing this power, many Celestial Gods present were greatly startled. They naturally hadn't expected the Azure-Clad Celestial God to also be a Divine Monarch, and his strength seemed quite formidable. They hadn't realized he was hiding so deeply.
"So you are also a Divine Monarch!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "But I am very curious, why did you not act when the Divine Race faced great peril?"
"When the Divine Race was truly facing extinction, I would have acted forcefully. This way, I would become an object of everyone's admiration!" the Azure-Clad Celestial God sneered.
