"If that is the case, are you willing to accompany me to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range?" Lu Fan said, releasing Shenfeng Great Emperor's restraint.
"My lord, you may not know, but the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is extremely unusual. Even Heavenly Lord level powerhouses may not be able to emerge alive from it!" Shenfeng Great Emperor quickly stated.
With these words, Lu Fan smiled slightly, "You seem to be particularly familiar with the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, otherwise, why would you speak like this!"
"I dare not hide anything from my lord. I once entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range with a dear friend, but unfortunately, she died outside!" Shenfeng Great Emperor said quickly, his expression grave. After all, with things having reached this point, he would not let himself venture into danger.
"Are you saying that within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, there are beings that can kill Heavenly Lord powerhouses?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"Precisely!"
Shenfeng Great Emperor repeatedly affirmed, "Therefore, if one mistakenly enters, it will inevitably lead to endless calamity!"
"In other words, the person who entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range with you died tragically, yet you are fine?" Lu Fan's lips curled slightly, "Abandoning your companion in times of danger? You truly impress me!"
Shenfeng Great Emperor's expression changed, and he felt even more helpless. Lu Fan's words had completely cornered him. In truth, he regretted it deeply at the time, as she was a very good companion, and he never expected her to die in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. For years, he had been in the Ziwei Realm, cultivating his power, and the moment he became a god, he would personally venture into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and slay all the powerhouses within.
"Someone like that is useless to keep!" Zhao Xiaotian interjected, "Why not just kill him!"
With these words, Shenfeng Great Emperor's expression changed, and he quickly knelt, pleading, "Please grant me a way to live, my lord. I am willing to follow you to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, as I am familiar with the paths there!"
"To survive, you are truly willing to go to any lengths!" Lu Fan smiled slightly, "Since you have such a mindset, then accompany me to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. I am curious to see what is so special about the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range that allows so many peerless powerhouses to hide within its depths!"
"I swear to follow you to the death, my lord!" Shenfeng Great Emperor quickly clasped his fists, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent. He knew Lu Fan's strength was immense, and resisting him would be akin to a death sentence, with no chance of survival.
Seeing this, the Elf Queen felt a surge of worry. She had just spoken ill of Shenfeng Great Emperor, and if anything went wrong, he might retaliate, leading to endless turmoil.
"Elf Queen, you need not worry. I have already injected my divine sense into him. If he dares to disrespect the Elf Dynasty, I will take his life!" Lu Fan stated.
"Thank you, my lord!" The Elf Queen quickly clasped her fists, appearing deeply grateful. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to say such a thing, and it instantly put her at ease.
After some discussion, Lu Fan and Shenfeng Great Emperor arrived outside the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Gazing at the terrifying demonic aura emanating from it, Shenfeng Great Emperor said gravely, "My lord, have you thought this through? The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is a place of nine deaths and one life. The old fellows within are not easy to deal with!"
"So much nonsense!" Lu Fan rolled his eyes and then looked at Yu Long Ancestor and the Elf Queen, "Do you wish to accompany me inside?"
"The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, under normal circumstances, we would naturally not dare to step into!" Yu Long Ancestor stated, "However, with my lord personally going, we have no fear!" Although he was well aware that the powerhouses within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range were extraordinary, possibly ancient monsters who had lived for ten thousand years, for some reason, he felt that Lu Fan could handle them. More importantly, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range contained numerous treasures, and obtaining even one or two would be a great fortune. With Lu Fan guarding them this time, he naturally wanted to take a chance, perhaps even reaching a higher level.
"It is our honor to enter with my lord, and we naturally dare not retreat!" the Elf Queen said repeatedly. If they were to die in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, she would have no regrets, as by then, Lu Fan and Shenfeng Great Emperor would likely also be dead. This would eliminate the threat to the Elf Dynasty. If they managed to leave the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range alive, she would be considered Lu Fan's subordinate, and Lu Fan would not easily deal with the Elf Dynasty.
"Since that is the case, let us enter and probe the true nature of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, his figure stepping forward directly, striding into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range without the slightest concern.
As soon as they entered the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, everyone felt an incredible force that made it difficult for them to move freely.
"This power again, such immense power!" Shenfeng Great Emperor exclaimed, his face showing surprise and fear, as if recalling past events.
"Within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, there is such powerful restrictive force!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "If it were ordinary experts, they would likely be suppressed into mere mortals within the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range!"
"My lord, I feel the spiritual energy within me dissipating!" Yu Long Ancestor said in a panic. For a cultivator, the most vital thing for survival was spiritual energy. If spiritual energy dissipated, they would become ordinary people, making it difficult to survive. The Elf Queen also felt this, her eyes showing panic. With the dissipation of spiritual energy, they would be like lambs to the slaughter, easily manipulated, which was the most terrifying prospect.
"You need not be too apprehensive!" Lu Fan stated, "With me by your side, you will naturally be fine!" After speaking, Lu Fan conjured a strand of spiritual energy, forming a spiritual barrier to protect the Elf Queen and Yu Long Ancestor. Feeling this spiritual protection, Yu Long Ancestor finally relaxed, his heart filled with shock.
"Could it be that my lord's spiritual energy is not suppressed at all?" the Elf Queen asked, looking quite puzzled.
"My lord's spiritual power is far beyond what we can compare to!" Zhao Xiaotian said. Even his spiritual energy was somewhat suppressed, but Lu Fan's aura remained unchanged, which was sufficient proof that Lu Fan's spiritual energy was not suppressed.
"Unless a god descends, there is likely no one who can suppress my spiritual energy!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, his words carrying a hint of arrogance, with no attempt to conceal it.
"May I ask what realm my lord's strength has reached to possess such power?" Shenfeng Great Emperor quickly inquired.
"It is best not to know what you shouldn't know!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, then continued forward, appearing quite nonchalant.
