Lu Fan's lips curved upwards, a chilling edge to them, as if everything was within his control.
"Good, good, good!"
The Lord of Hell sneered, finding Lu Fan's arrogance unbearable.
At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor struck fiercely, launching an attack towards the Lord of Hell.
Only by dealing with the Lord of Hell first could he assist Lu Fan; otherwise, Lu Fan might perish here today.
Within the imperial city of the Hell Dynasty, corpses littered the ground, blood flowing from every body, creating a terrifying scene.
Witnessing the spectacle, everyone's expressions grew somber. They understood that if this continued, both great dynasties would be annihilated.
The Lord of Hell blocked the Heavenly Emperor's attack and turned his gaze towards Lu Fan, noticing the extremely peculiar aura surrounding him.
Despite being at the Immortal Emperor realm, even a Heavenly Lord level expert might not be able to do much to Lu Fan.
More importantly, a flame emanated from Lu Fan, a flame that the remnant soul of Emperor Fengdu dared not approach lightly, seemingly quite wary of it.
"I never expected someone in the Heavenly Realm to be able to control divine fire!" the remnant soul of Emperor Fengdu sneered. "While it poses a fatal threat to me, your realm is too weak!"
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "In that case, why don't you try and see how my realm fares against yours!"
Emperor Fengdu said nothing more, a terrifying black energy erupting from him. This energy was exceptionally surging, carrying a powerful aura that stirred the hearts of all.
Concurrently, everyone could clearly sense the potency of this aura, no less formidable than any other.
"I truly never imagined this kid could contend with the remnant soul of Emperor Fengdu. He truly lives up to his title as the commander of the Heavenly Dynasty!"
Within the Hell Dynasty, many spoke, holding Lu Fan in extremely high regard.
The Heavenly Emperor and others also ceased their attacks, silently observing the unfolding scene. For them, this was a battle for survival.
After all, with such a powerful aura, one could only imagine the terror of Emperor Fengdu's strength.
However, the flame power surrounding Lu Fan was also extraordinary. That flame seemed capable of burning the entire world, leaving an endless aura in its wake.
Two powerful figures clashed, exuding an unparalleled might. Every region of the Hell Dynasty was filled with this divine energy, inspiring awe and deterring any who dared approach, lest they be consumed by this power.
"This battle today should be my final battle in the Heavenly Realm!"
Lu Fan's voice was icy, his aura continuously ascending. He had reached a state of selflessness.
"What's happening? His aura seems to be constantly rising. Has he broken through again?"
"That's right, I can sense it too. His aura is unusual. Is he really about to break through?"
Many spoke, their expressions serious, as this was no small matter for them.
At the same time, everyone could clearly perceive that Lu Fan's aura had reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm. If it continued, he might reach the Heavenly Lord realm. If that were the case, it would be truly terrifying, as such strength would be comparable to that of the Heavenly Dynasty itself.
Even more frightening was that Lu Fan, merely at the Immortal Emperor realm, displayed strength equivalent to a Heavenly Lord. If he truly reached the Heavenly Lord realm, his power would likely be even more formidable. Who in the Heavenly Realm could then be Lu Fan's match?
"This kid's aura is rising. We absolutely cannot let him have the chance!"
The Lord of Hell frowned, his gaze shifting to Emperor Fengdu, his eyes deepening.
Emperor Fengdu said nothing more but struck again with overwhelming force. In that instant, he surged towards Lu Fan. Lu Fan's aura continued to climb, while his remnant soul grew weaker. If this continued, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to the Hell Dynasty.
Boom...
With a deafening roar, Lu Fan was violently repelled, his aura increasing further. He then revealed a faint smile. "Although this remnant soul is powerful, it cannot be sustained for long. Moreover, I have now reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, just one step away from the Heavenly Lord realm. Even at the peak of this remnant soul, I still have no fear!"
"Good kid, you are indeed incredibly arrogant!"
Emperor Fengdu let out a cold laugh. "Since that is the case, let me see what means you possess to dare utter such words!"
"Divine fire from the Divine Realm, capable of burning away all darkness in this world!"
A flame ignited in Lu Fan's palm. "Therefore, I believe my divine fire can completely incinerate your remnant soul!"
Emperor Fengdu's expression changed drastically. He had been wary all along, fearing the divine fire in Lu Fan's possession. If the divine fire were unleashed, it would surely not be good for him.
"I truly never imagined the pressure of divine fire would be so terrifying!"
Witnessing the scene, the Heavenly Emperor's lips curved into a smile. This was the situation he most wished to see. With Lu Fan holding the line, even the remnant soul of an Emperor would likely have to concede.
"Kid, you are truly fortunate!"
Emperor Fengdu looked at Lu Fan. "You guessed correctly. Divine fire exerts great pressure on me. A slight misstep, and my soul would be annihilated!"
"In that case, you should leave quickly! After all, I desire the Hell Dynasty, not your life!"
Lu Fan spoke, his expression increasingly indifferent, as if everything had been settled in his eyes.
"I can leave, and I can hand it over, but how will you explain yourself if you come to the Divine Realm?"
Emperor Fengdu sneered. "Destroying my Hell Dynasty, how can I let this matter rest so easily!"
"What, you yourself are still in the Divine Realm, and you still wish to control the Heavenly Realm with one hand?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his gaze becoming sharper, as if everything was beneath his notice.
With these words, Emperor Fengdu's expression instantly soured. Being spoken to like this by Lu Fan, he felt extremely displeased.
However, Lu Fan did not give him the chance. A divine fire shot from his hand, and Emperor Fengdu instantly perished. Although it was merely a remnant soul, it was still astonishing. Emperor Fengdu was likely a figure who had been extremely powerful in the Heavenly Realm in the past, yet now his remnant soul was burned to oblivion.
"This..."
Staring at the scene, Xue Long was completely stunned, unsure of what to do.
This was the foundation of the Hell Dynasty, and it had been destroyed by Lu Fan. The Lord of Hell would likely be so enraged that he would spit blood and die.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" The Lord of Hell staggered back, his face filled with disbelief.
