"I am of the Divine Dragon clan. Did you consider the consequences when you injured me?"
The Flood Dragon glared at Lu Fan with icy eyes, a chill in his gaze.
Lu Fan remained unfazed by the Flood Dragon's words, his expression growing even more indifferent. "I never consider consequences when I act. What if the Divine Dragon clan finds out!"
"Are you truly not afraid!"
The Flood Dragon spoke again, his tone laced with a threat. He knew that in his current predicament, only by invoking the Divine Dragon clan could he hope to survive.
Otherwise, given Lu Fan's nature, he would certainly not let him go and would likely cause him unnecessary trouble.
"Too much nonsense!"
Lu Fan grabbed the Flood Dragon by the neck, his eyes sharpening. "Do I look like someone who fears the Divine Dragon clan?"
The Flood Dragon trembled. Lu Fan's strength was immense, so much so that even he felt a sense of dread.
However, Lu Fan's words were clearly unacceptable to him.
Everyone knew how powerful the Divine Dragon clan was, yet Lu Fan seemed to completely disregard them.
"My lord, perhaps you should let him go!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox quickly stepped forward.
"How can that be!"
The Six-Tailed Fox shook his head. "He almost killed me just now. How can we let him go so easily!"
"Six-Tailed!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox looked at the Six-Tailed Fox with a cold expression, a hint of anger in his eyes.
The Six-Tailed Fox was helpless and did not say much more.
Lu Fan shook his head. "Nine-Tailed, do you believe I should let him go because I fear offending the Divine Dragon clan?"
"My lord, the Divine Dragon clan holds a revered status. Offending them will surely bring disaster!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox quickly cupped his fists, his gaze grave. He understood the implications of this matter.
"Hahaha, in the end, you still fear my Divine Dragon clan!"
The Flood Dragon burst into laughter, a smugness in his tone.
As far as he was concerned, no one in the entire Northern Abyss region dared to offend the Divine Dragon clan.
He expected that soon, Lu Fan would release him and even beg for mercy.
"Does the mere Divine Dragon clan make you so apprehensive?"
Lu Fan shrugged. "If I were to destroy the Divine Dragon clan, perhaps there would be fewer troubles!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox was startled, and even the Flood Dragon was bewildered.
Lu Fan's words were truly shocking.
The Divine Dragon clan possessed extraordinary power, and Lu Fan's statement seemed overly arrogant.
"My lord!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox was about to speak again, but Lu Fan waved his hand. "You don't need to say more. I know what I'm doing!"
At these words, the Nine-Tailed Fox fell silent. He understood Lu Fan's character.
The Flood Dragon frowned. "You don't actually intend to make a move against the Divine Dragon clan, do you!"
"Why not?"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, with a faint cold glint.
If the Flood Dragon was correct, Lu Fan would not hesitate to act, even against the Divine Dragon clan, without a second thought.
The Flood Dragon's expression shifted, but he dared not say more. He sensed killing intent in Lu Fan's eyes, and his heart was filled with panic.
"You will die today!"
Lu Fan looked at the Flood Dragon, his gaze calm, his words devoid of any hesitation.
At these words, the Flood Dragon's expression changed, and a surge of anger welled up within him. He felt that things should not have turned out this way.
"If you let me go, I swear I will not report you to the Divine Dragon clan!"
The Flood Dragon pleaded, "Moreover, the Divine Dragon clan will absolutely not trouble the Fox clan!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox stood by, deeply moved.
If this could truly be achieved, it would be the best possible outcome.
Resolving the conflict peacefully and avoiding offending the Divine Dragon clan would be ideal.
"That probably won't do!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a cold smile appearing on his face. "You will die today, as I have already said!"
"Are you truly not afraid of offending my Divine Clan!"
The Flood Dragon roared in anger, extremely displeased. He had never imagined Lu Fan would be so formidable.
"Not afraid!"
Lu Fan's voice was calm. Suddenly, an aura surged forth, striking the Flood Dragon.
The Flood Dragon died instantly, without even a chance to struggle.
Witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly shocked. They had clearly not expected Lu Fan to be so merciless.
"My lord, why is this?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox asked, puzzled. "Killing him will surely offend the Divine Dragon clan. Why didn't you let him go earlier!"
"Do you think that by letting him go, he would truly not report us?"
Lu Fan shrugged. "A villain like him would never keep his word!"
"This..."
The Nine-Tailed Fox's expression changed. Perhaps Lu Fan was right; the Flood Dragon might not have kept his word.
After dealing with the Flood Dragon and his companions, Lu Fan entered seclusion.
The entire Fox clan was sealed off, and the matter of killing a member of the Divine Dragon clan was naturally not spread.
Several years later, members of the Divine Dragon clan finally found their way near the Fox clan's territory.
"The Flood Dragon's aura disappeared right here!"
A man cupped his fists and spoke, showing great respect to the elder before him.
"Investigate. This matter must be clarified!"
The elder's voice was cold. As the patriarch of the Divine Dragon clan, he was already aware of this matter and had been investigating it in secret.
Now that there was news, he would not let any clue slip by.
Everyone nodded and wasted no time.
Although the Flood Dragon held no high position within the Divine Dragon clan, he was still a member. Now that he had died tragically, how could they stand idly by.
Meanwhile, within a barrier, Lu Fan sat atop a mountain, gazing at the stars, his expression somewhat weathered.
"My lord, what are you thinking about?"
The Six-Tailed Fox's voice sounded as he walked over.
"Homesickness is a universal sentiment!"
Lu Fan sighed. "After so many years in this chaotic world, I wonder if my homeland, that blue planet, still exists."
"My lord, you are a Divine Being, a Divine Lord with boundless divine power, yet returning to your homeland is exceptionally difficult!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox shook his head. "Perhaps only the Divine Realm can suppress your divine might. As for the lower realms..."
"I'm just saying!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a smile appearing on his face. He did not take it too seriously.
"Actually, I know of a way to return to the lower realms!"
The Six-Tailed Fox suddenly spoke, his tone quite serious.
"Really?" Lu Fan asked, a hint of doubt and great interest in his voice. If this were true, he would spare no effort to achieve it.
"Become the Lord of the Universe!"
The Six-Tailed Fox stated directly. "As long as you can become the Lord of the Universe, you will be able to traverse the cosmos unimpeded, even controlling the powers of heaven and earth. With that, you can go anywhere!"
"Lord of the Universe?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, surprised. He had never imagined that such an existence resided in the Divine Realm.
"However, the Lord of the Universe has never appeared for many years!" the Six-Tailed Fox said with a wry smile. "I don't know if the Lord of the Universe exists in this era!"
