In the following days, the human race, still recovering, saw many experts rest and recuperate. After this struggle, they finally realized that without becoming stronger, humanity would only be prey in the eyes of others, a truly terrifying prospect.
Lu Fan arrived outside the beastmen territory, gazing at the formidable protective array with a slight smile. He had reached an unprecedented height; how could this array possibly stop him?
"He's here, he's finally here!"
The beastmen cried out in unison, their hearts filled with dread. Lu Fan's arrival signified impending doom for their entire race.
At this moment, Hua Yu and others appeared, their gazes fixed on Lu Fan. "I knew you would come. However, the beastmen are not a place you can trespass. If you dare to make a move within our territory, we will all attack you!"
"What, are you afraid?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "When you slaughtered our human kin, did you ever consider this day would come?"
"Casualties are normal in a war between two races!"
The Eagle Clan Chief stated frankly, "Since your human race has an expert like you to back it, I believe it's best to put an end to this. Let both races cease hostilities; that would be the most sensible solution!"
"Cease hostilities? This must have happened in ancient times!"
Lu Fan scoffed. "But it was the beastmen who ultimately broke their promises. Therefore, only by utterly destroying the beastmen can true peace be achieved!"
"Destroy the beastmen? I think you're dreaming!"
Chang Feng sneered. "If you hadn't broken through at the last moment, the human race would already be in the beastmen's grasp!"
"It's a shame I broke through!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, showing no hint of evasion, and coldly stared at Chang Feng as if he were already dead.
Chang Feng's expression shifted; being looked at by Lu Fan in such a manner made him increasingly uneasy.
"Regardless, the protective array is active, and you won't be able to break through!"
Hua Yu chuckled. "From now on, let the boundary be our demarcation line. Neither race shall infringe upon the other!"
"Hahaha..."
Lu Fan laughed heartily. "Is it not too late to speak of non-aggression now!"
"In that case, it depends on whether you have the ability to break this barrier!" Hua Yu said coldly, a hint of anger in his voice. Lu Fan's laughter was laced with mockery, which he found quite disagreeable.
Lu Fan said no more. He suddenly leaped forward, his palm surging with flowing light. The power of lightning violently surged, seemingly illuminating the entire Spirit Realm.
Across the Spirit Realm, countless beings looked towards the beastmen's border, wondering what had transpired.
"This lightning power, could it be Lu Fan?"
Sensing the energy fluctuations, the young master of the Tao family spoke. He had been severely injured during the war between the two races and was in seclusion, yet he hadn't expected such a powerful aura to reach him.
"It's him, it must be him!"
Hu Xian'er leaped up abruptly. "Could he have gone to the beastmen alone?"
"Going to the beastmen alone, does he intend to annihilate the entire race by himself?"
Hu Yu also stood there, his expression filled with disbelief.
People within the cities all looked towards the beastmen's frontier. The white lightning was so dazzling.
In every city, many were erecting statues, the statues depicting Lu Fan's eyes. In this war between the two races, if it weren't for Lu Fan's decisive intervention, the human race would have perished.
Upon sensing the energy fluctuations, they all took to the sky, converging towards the beastmen's borders. They certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to confront the beastmen.
After all, millions of civilians in the central region had died in this war, a profound impact on the entire human race.
Boom...
A series of earth-shattering collisions echoed. Many low-level beastmen within the beastmen territory let out trembling roars. The entire beastmen territory was engulfed by converging lightning, presenting a terrifying spectacle.
"The power of heaven and earth, he's actually borrowing the power of heaven and earth!"
Chang Feng's voice was hoarse, his disbelief palpable. He never imagined that Lu Fan, so young, could possess such formidable strength, which was truly shocking.
"How is this possible!"
Hua Yu's expression changed, his surprise evident. Under normal circumstances, Lu Fan, even as a Great Saint, shouldn't be able to borrow the power of heaven and earth.
As the aura continued to surge, the beastmen's guardian array grew increasingly fragile, seemingly unable to hold on for much longer.
Lu Fan stood suspended in mid-air, like a divine king, as if nothing in this world could stop him.
"Let us combine our strength and repair the barrier!"
Hua Yu shouted, soaring into the sky. The other clan chiefs did not hesitate either; they stepped out, intending to prevent this catastrophe.
Lu Fan, however, was undeterred, relentlessly striking, as if everything before him was insignificant.
The combined efforts of more than ten Great Saints from the beastmen race could only struggle to maintain their defense. Despair flickered in their eyes; Lu Fan's aura was so terrifying that a single misstep could result in the annihilation of the entire beastmen race.
"Such a powerful aura!"
Many human experts who had arrived were awestruck. They had intended to assist, but found it impossible. With their current strength, they were not qualified to participate in this battle.
As time wore on, a thunderous roar echoed from the sky. Before anyone could react, it directly struck the barrier.
Hua Yu and the others, desperately reinforcing the barrier, were forcefully repelled. Their faces turned ashen, and they retreated rapidly, completely unprepared for Lu Fan's terrifying strength.
Pfft...
More than ten Great Saints were sent flying, blood trickling from their lips. They never imagined things would turn out this way.
The beastmen, in their terror, knew that with the barrier broken, they were now lambs to the slaughter.
"All past transgressions are on us. Kill us if you must, but I beg you to spare my people!"
Hua Yu, dragging his severely wounded body, spoke to Lu Fan, his eyes filled with pleading. He knew very well that Lu Fan's strength far surpassed theirs; if he truly intended to act, they would be powerless to resist.
"Spare my people?"
Lu Fan scoffed. "And did you spare yours?"
As his words fell, Lu Fan waved his hand. Countless beastmen met their demise. The Thunder Roc Clan was even exterminated, a scene of horrific carnage.
The beastmen wailed, some attempting to retaliate, but they couldn't even get close to Lu Fan.
Even the Great Saints appeared incredibly humble before him.
Seeing this, Hua Yu's heart sank into despair. He could never have imagined Lu Fan would be so ruthless.
The many humans present did not feel joy at this sight, but rather a somber silence. Perhaps this was the nature of tribal warfare; the weak ultimately paid the price.
The ten Great Saints watched the scene unfold, utterly helpless, regretting their rashness in initiating war with the human race.
