"Defying the Heavenly Way?"
The old man in green robes laughed heartily, "Are you sure what you're saying is correct? Within this Divine Path, have we not all come through bloodshed? Who among us hasn't taken lives? Do they not defy the Heavenly Way!"
"You are correct, but the matter has come to this. The gate to the Divine Realm is about to open. For you to try and stop everyone single-handedly, I fear it will be impossible!" Wu Dao narrowed his eyes, "I have studied Buddhist scriptures since childhood and have a good understanding of the cycle of the Heavenly Way. I hope you do not seek your own destruction!"
Following these words, the old man in green robes sneered, a cold glint in his eyes, "Since you refuse to stand with me, then make your move. Even if you all attack together, you will not be my match, for a demigod is an invincible existence in all the realms. No one can suppress me!"
"We could have all entered the Divine Realm together. Why are you so stubborn?" Wu Dao shook his head, feeling a profound sense of helplessness.
"With you mere ants, what qualification do you have to ascend to the Divine Realm with me!" the old man in green robes sneered, "You are only fit to remain in the lower realm, to live your most ordinary lives, rather than becoming exalted deities like myself!"
Faced with such words, everyone present became furious. Being spoken to in such a manner was a devastating blow, as none of those present were ordinary people.
It was known that anyone who could reach this place had naturally been battle-hardened, endured countless hardships, and become supreme beings. In their respective realms, they were unparalleled powerhouses, yet they found themselves treated with such disdain. Su Dan Novel Network.
"So what if you're a demigod? Can you truly cover the sky with one hand? We refuse to yield!"
Everyone spoke out, their words carrying a chilling intent. Their expressions were turbulent, filled with resentment towards the demigod before them. He was obstructing their path to divinity, and they would fight to the death to prevent him from causing further trouble.
Seeing their anger, the demigod merely sneered, "See? This is the anger of the powerless. But what use is it? In the face of true strength, all is but nothingness!"
At these words, the expressions of everyone present turned ashen. What the old man in green robes had said filled them with humiliation.
"Make your move, let us witness how powerful a demigod truly is!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Wu Dao's Buddhist techniques surged. He knew very well that the strength of a demigod was not to be underestimated. With his own power, he could not contend with a demigod, and even with everyone else combined, they would still be powerless to resist.
"A bunch of ants are simply asking for death!"
The old man in green robes' eyes turned icy. In that instant, a stream of light shot from his palm, appearing turbulent and utterly substantial.
"Everyone, be careful!"
A loud shout echoed, and everyone united. They knew very well that to deal with a true demigod-level expert, disunity would only make them prey.
Rumble...
In that moment, the area where they stood instantly turned into ruins. Those present felt an immense pressure. The might of a demigod-level expert was indeed extraordinary, making them afraid to approach even half a step. A slight misstep could lead to their deaths.
"How can he be so strong!" Zhao Xiaotian frowned, "Is this truly the might of a demigod? It's truly astonishing and causes one to feel a sense of dread!"
"To reach the realm of a demigod means one is an unparalleled expert in this world!" Lu Fan spoke, "To contend with him will not be easy. It's unlikely that even with everyone acting together, they will be his match!"
"My lord, please don't pretend. With your strength, you definitely can!"
A slight smile played on Tian Long's lips as he looked towards Lu Fan. He believed that Lu Fan had been hiding his strength and was curious about the extent of Lu Fan's achievements.
"I don't know what my abilities are truly capable of, but I am certain of one thing: I am absolutely no match for a demigod."
Lu Fan shrugged, "Are you perhaps overestimating me?"
"My lord, please don't joke. Now is not the time for jokes!" Zhao Xiaotian rolled his eyes, "If my lord truly isn't his match, I think we can just retreat. As for the gate to the Divine Realm, it's not something we can approach, especially with a demigod guarding it. It has nothing to do with us!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan gave an awkward smile, "Ahem... how about we watch the battle unfold? If it really doesn't work out, we'll leave. After all, demigod experts are not to be trifled with!"
At Lu Fan's words, Tian Long's face showed embarrassment. They had thought Lu Fan could dominate the entire situation, but they hadn't expected him to be so timid, making Tian Long feel even more foolish.
Zhao Xiaotian stood stunned, unsure of what to say. Lu Fan's statement had completely thrown him off guard. This was a critical moment, and Lu Fan cracking such a joke was like crushing everyone's hopes.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, only Lu Fan possessed the strength to subdue the old man in green robes. If Lu Fan couldn't do it, then all their efforts would be in vain.
Monk Wu Dao and the others attacked with all their might, not holding back against the demigod expert. The ensuing battle was thunderous, igniting several bolts of lightning.
However, after only a few rounds, hundreds of experts were instantly annihilated. Those who managed to survive were few and far between. In the face of a demigod-level expert, the multitude of powerful individuals had no chance of survival. For them, perhaps this was their final resting place.
"How is this possible? How can he be so strong!"
Everyone exclaimed in disbelief, murmuring to themselves. They had never expected things to turn out this way, leaving them utterly unprepared.
Only a dozen or so elders managed to survive, but they were all covered in wounds, looking terribly battered.
Now, the only one still able to fight was Wu Dao, but he was already in a rather sorry state. Despite unleashing all his magical techniques, he had failed to defeat the old man in green robes, which was enough to show that the old man's strength far surpassed his own, and he was simply unable to resist.
"In the end, we lost!"
Wu Dao murmured, his eyes turning cold. Even he hadn't expected to meet such an end. The Divine Path was about to open, yet he was destined to die here. He felt a deep sense of unwillingness. Although he studied Buddhist scriptures, he also longed to step foot into the Divine Realm.
"You could have chosen to stand with me!"
The old man in green robes narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming sharp, "But you chose to oppose me!"
