With these words, Tian Long sneered, "Do you really think I would willingly become someone's mount?"
"Isn't that the case?" The Thunder Clan Chief's brow furrowed. The scene before him suggested so, and there seemed to be no issue.
"If he truly wanted to subdue me, I would never yield!"
Tian Long said coldly, "Moreover, in my heart, no one can be my master. They and I are merely friends!"
"Friends?"
The Thunder Clan Chief's brow furrowed. He smiled and said, "I truly didn't expect the Beast race and the Human race to become friends!"
"There are many things you haven't expected!"
Tian Long said coldly, "Don't use your ignorance to guess at others' feelings!"
"You..."
The members of the Thunder Roc clan were displeased and looked at Tian Long. Although they were suppressed by their bloodline power, they remained fearless.
After all, their Thunder Roc clan had produced divine beasts in the past. It was just that due to the passage of time, the divine beast bloodline within them had gradually been replaced.
This was precisely why the Thunder Clan Chief insisted on coming here. Only by becoming a true divine beast and activating their divine beast bloodline could the entire Thunder Roc clan endure for eternity.
"Since he possesses divine beast bloodline, do not be too presumptuous!"
The Thunder Clan Chief spoke, "After all, he is also the hope of our Beast race!"
After speaking, the Thunder Clan Chief led his people away and stepped towards the other shore of the Divine Path.
Along the way, they encountered many strange people and events, and everyone was quite interested.
However, the further they advanced towards the other shore, the greater the pressure became. Even their hearts were filled with a sense of dread. No one knew what lay on the other shore of the Divine Path, and it was uncertain who would ultimately achieve godhood.
"Look quickly, there's a bright light ahead. Could that be the other shore of the Divine Path!"
At this moment, Zhao Xiaotian's voice rang out, sounding rather amazed.
Everyone also looked up at the sky and indeed saw a bright light at the far end of the Divine Path. As they walked, the light grew brighter, appearing tumultuous.
"Have we found the other shore of the Divine Path!"
Lu Fan spoke, his heart filled with surprise. Even he had not anticipated what lay on the other shore of the Divine Path.
"That's right, it's the other shore of the Divine Path!"
Tian Long said, "We've finally arrived! Just as we guessed!"
Joy appeared in everyone's eyes. Being able to reach this shore was enough to prove that they could fight for it.
As they drew closer, they discovered that on the other shore of the Divine Path, there were many figures standing silently, waiting for something to appear.
"There's nothing here!"
When they reached the end, they found that the other shore of the Divine Path was deserted except for the figures, which looked rather eerie.
"What's going on!"
Tian Long was also surprised, his expression showing a slight fluctuation. Such a scene was truly unfathomable.
"It seems that the end of the Divine Path is just an end!" The Thunder Clan Chief said, "So, becoming a god is just a facade! We cannot become gods by coming to the Divine Path!"
"That may not be the case!"
Wu Dao shook his head and said, "I have a faint premonition that the gate to the Divine Realm is about to open. Perhaps then we can enter the Divine Realm. I wonder what scenes await us after entering the Divine Realm!"
"Old monk, you shouldn't overthink it. You won't be able to enter the Divine Realm based on your abilities alone!" The Thunder Clan Chief smiled slightly, his eyes growing more indifferent.
Rumble...
As they were talking, a rumbling sound echoed, and the entire Divine Path began to tremble, causing everyone's eyes to widen in shock, unsure of what was happening.
"The gate to the Divine Realm is about to open, it's finally about to open!"
Everyone shouted madly. They had waited for a long time, and now that the gate to the Divine Realm was truly opening, it was a great thing for them.
"The Divine Path is about to open, all useless individuals retreat!"
At that very moment, a cold voice rang out. An old man leaning on a cane slowly stood up, his every movement exuding world-destroying power.
Rumble...
A violent fluctuation erupted, and many top experts met their demise. Before the old man with the cane, they seemed utterly insignificant.
The people present were utterly dumbfounded. The gate to the Divine Realm was about to open, yet such a scene unfolded, leaving them deeply shocked.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Many people looked at the old man, their expressions extremely grim. After all, with the gate to the Divine Realm about to open, this old man suddenly made a move, catching them completely off guard.
"The spots for the Divine Realm are not many, and your presence here is quite an eyesore!"
The old man with the cane said coldly, "If you leave obediently, you might preserve your lives. Otherwise, do not blame me for being heartless!"
The crowd stood frozen, their faces showing embarrassment. They had never expected the old man with the cane to speak in such a manner, with an overwhelming aura that paid no heed to anyone present.
"His strength is immense!"
Lu Fan said, "And he is infinitely close to becoming a demigod!"
"Demigod!"
Zhao Xiaotian's expression changed. If that were the case, they dared not act rashly, lest they invite endless trouble.
A powerful being infinitely close to a demigod was not to be trifled with. Although he had not yet reached demigod status, from Lu Fan's words, it was evident how terrifying this old man was.
"Let's all attack together! He wants to kill us and go to the Divine Realm alone. We must not let him succeed!"
Everyone spoke out, their voices filled with murderous intent. They had been on the Divine Path for many years, aiming to become gods. Now, if someone wanted to extinguish their hopes, how could they allow such a thing to happen?
Lu Fan and the others retreated to the side, not joining the battle. A being infinitely close to a demigod was not to be taken lightly. A single mistake could lead to their instant demise.
Everyone was well aware of this. However, they all wished to become gods, so some threw caution to the wind and forcibly engaged the old man with the cane in battle.
"With your strength, you are no match for me!"
The old man with the cane sneered, "I advise you not to act rashly, or this place will become your burial ground!"
However, the crowd completely ignored his words. Instead, with an imposing aura, they charged towards the old man with the cane.
At this point, they had nothing more to say. For the sake of becoming gods, they were willing to resort to any means necessary, and so were they.
Concurrently, the old man with the cane's eyes turned icy, and the aura around him surged, appearing tumultuous.
