"Are you all right, esteemed elders?"
Lu Fan smiled slightly, then quickly spoke, his gaze appearing even more solemn.
"How could we be harmed!"
The elders chuckled faintly. "However, speaking of which, now that things have come to this, there's nothing more to say. Your killing of the evil race today was beyond our expectations!"
"It was merely a flick of the wrist!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Those few evil beings were nothing. However, the current situation is that we may not be able to ascend from within this abyss. This is not a good thing for us!"
"The abyss of the Death God Valley is a forbidden zone, guarded by extremely ancient formations. With our strength, we cannot break through. Even if Lord Shangguan himself were to come, it would be impossible!"
Many old Heavenly Gods spoke with grave expressions, their eyes solemn. The turn of events had caught them somewhat off guard.
In fact, even they did not know they would fall into this abyss. Otherwise, they would not have remained in their original positions but would have left the Death God Valley as quickly as possible.
"If that's truly the case, does that mean we are to remain in the abyss indefinitely with no possibility of ascending?" Lu Fan frowned. "Or, have you elders heard any rumors about a way to leave this abyss?"
"The rumors we've heard are that no Heavenly God who falls into the abyss has ever survived to ascend alive!" the old Heavenly Gods said helplessly. "Therefore, now that things have reached this point, it is beyond our control. All we can do now is cultivate diligently. Perhaps one day, when we have cultivated to an extremely high realm, we can soar upwards and break through the barrier here, and then we can leave!"
"By then, we will likely have been corrupted by the malevolent energy within the barrier!" Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang
Lu Fan shook his head. "And there is no hope of survival!"
At this point, the complexions of the old Heavenly Gods turned grim. They were well aware of this matter, but there was nothing they could do as things stood. After all, this was the abyss of the Divine Valley, not an ordinary place. Since they had fallen in, it was impossible to ascend easily.
This was, after all, a legend that had existed for a long time, and it was impossible for them to break it. All they could do now was await their fate, unable to do anything.
"I believe there must be a way out!"
Lu Fan's eyes were filled with solemnity. "As long as we hold onto hope, there will always be a chance. Are you willing to believe me, and for us to search for an exit together!"
"It's useless. Now that things have come to this, all we can do is wait here and cultivate continuously. Only then might there be a sliver of hope. If even this sliver of hope is gone, we will likely be trapped and die here!" The old Heavenly Gods' expressions were solemn.
"If that is the case, then esteemed elders, you may cultivate here. I will go alone to search for an exit. If there is an opportunity, I will inform you all!" Lu Fan bowed and prepared to leave. He was not one to sit idly by, especially in such a critical situation. Only by devising a countermeasure could they leave safely.
Seeing this, the old Heavenly Gods frowned slightly and then said to Lu Fan, "Since you have said so, it would be improper for us old men not to accompany you, especially since you just saved our lives!"
"Has this elder come to his senses?" Lu Fan's smile instantly appeared. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. It might be difficult for him to find an exit alone, but with everyone together, it might not be impossible.
"We will listen to your words. As long as we can find an exit, we can leave. Even if we truly cannot find one, it doesn't matter, as we have resigned ourselves to fate!" the old Heavenly Gods stated frankly.
"Thank you, esteemed elders!"
Lu Fan quickly clasped his fists, his expression filled with joy. With things developing in his favor, he was naturally delighted. After all, as long as there was a sliver of hope, anything was possible, and Lu Fan had never doubted this.
At the same time, everyone could clearly feel that the aura around Lu Fan was not simple, and following him might be safer. Even if they encountered evil beings, they could be easily dealt with.
"Such strength at such a young age, it truly makes one envious!"
A smile played on the lips of an elder as he spoke, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, his words solemn.
"You flatter me, elder. I merely had some fortunate encounters, which allowed me to break through to the Heavenly God realm!" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "I hope we can succeed in leaving this time, as this is our only chance!"
"If we can truly ascend alive, we will follow your lead!" the old Heavenly Gods said quickly, expressing their admiration for Lu Fan.
Lu Fan nodded slightly. He did not care about these matters. The most crucial thing now was to find a way out.
After walking for a short while, their figures arrived at the barrier of the abyss. As long as they could open this barrier, they could use their divine power to return directly to the ground, thus resolving the crisis.
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became serious, as this matter was of great importance.
"Let us try with our combined strength. Perhaps there is a chance!"
Lu Fan spoke with seriousness, his palm surging with divine power, appearing exceptionally fierce.
He was well aware that some things were impossible to achieve. Now that things had come to this, it was definitely not that simple.
At the same time, everyone could clearly feel a powerful fluctuation sweeping towards them, causing endless turmoil.
Boom...
As Lu Fan and the others made their move, the barrier instantly let out a deafening roar, appearing terrifying and causing immense chaos, sending shivers down one's spine.
Witnessing this scene, many were startled and disbelieving, clearly not expecting things to turn out this way.
"With our strength, we cannot break through the barrier!"
The old Heavenly Gods spoke. "It seems our plan has failed. It is impossible to achieve!"
"It is understandable to fail as long as we have tried!" Lu Fan stated frankly. "However, I always feel that this abyss is so vast, there must be a way to open it through the weakest point of the barrier!"
"We will do as you say. After all, you saved our lives. Just point us to a direction, and we will follow you!" The old Heavenly Gods' expressions were solemn, and they held great regard for Lu Fan.
In their view, Lu Fan's actions were beneficial to them.
"Thank you, esteemed elders!"
Lu Fan quickly clasped his fists, his expression solemn.
