Soon after, Lu Fan left the location of the formation and proceeded to investigate the area with the most powerful aura.
Nine-Tails followed closely behind, appearing quite vigilant.
Having now annihilated the Divine Serpent clan and the Tiger clan, they were certain to stir up immense trouble if the Divine Dragon clan were to find out.
"This power, could it truly be the power of a Demon God?"
Lu Fan looked towards Nine-Tails and asked directly.
"Indeed, this is the power of a Demon God!"
Nine-Tails nodded and said, "The tomb of the Demon God must have loosened, releasing such an aura. It's even possible that someone has already entered the Demon God's tomb. If that's the case, we might be too late!"
"You underestimate the Demon God's tomb too much!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "As the strongest being in the entire Northern Abyss back then, he was no ordinary person. It wouldn't be so easy for anyone to trespass into his tomb!"
"That is indeed well said!"
Nine-Tails nodded, naturally agreeing with Lu Fan's words.
Under normal circumstances, it would be highly improbable for an ordinary person to enter the tomb. Only those with exceptional strength could explore the tomb of the Dark Night Demon God, and even then, their lives might be in peril.
Before long, Lu Fan and Nine-Tails arrived at a divine mountain. Beneath this divine mountain lay a bottomless abyss, its depth inspiring fear and dread.
The aura of the Dark Night Demon God emanated from below, sending shivers down one's spine and discouraging anyone from easily stepping in.
"The power of the Dark Night Demon God, this power is undeniable!"
Many people were already present, all speaking out, yet none were willing to jump in, clearly waiting for others to make the first move.
"Since it's the power of the Dark Night Demon God, why don't you jump in directly?"
Lu Fan spoke, "The Dark Night Demon God was buried here, so there should be many treasures!"
"Stop joking! If you're so capable, kid, jump in yourself!"
Several elders nearby chuckled. "Do you really think we're fools! While this place isn't ordinary and might hold great treasures, the tomb of the Dark Night Demon God is not a place anyone dares to enter. One might die instantly upon entering!"
"Such cowardice, I suppose it leads to mediocrity!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his gaze exceptionally calm, as if he viewed everyone present as a collection of cowards.
"If you're so capable, kid, jump down!"
The elders retorted indignantly. "Even the elders and patriarchs of the major clans don't dare to leap in easily. What gives this kid the right to speak such words!"
"It's just a dead man's tomb, can it kill me?"
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, he leaped down without hesitation.
The onlookers were stunned by this sudden turn of events, having never expected Lu Fan to be so direct and audacious.
"He… he jumped down?"
The crowd finally reacted, murmuring amongst themselves, clearly taken aback by Lu Fan's impetuous action.
They knew that jumping down carried the risk of losing one's life. Those who had reached the Divine Realm were all ancient powerhouses. In the Divine Realm, life was paramount; other things were secondary.
Nine-Tails furrowed his brow. He too had not anticipated Lu Fan would jump without a word, and a sense of worry began to creep into his heart.
At that very moment, he too plunged down, his expression grave, unsure of the dangers that lay below.
"They all jumped down! Does this abyss hold no danger?"
Several men spoke, appearing restless.
The reason they hadn't acted earlier was their uncertainty about the danger below.
However, it now seemed like a gamble worth taking.
"Even if there is danger, we accept it!"
At that moment, everyone leaped down without any hesitation.
They understood clearly that if they could obtain even one item from the tomb of the Dark Night Demon God, it would undoubtedly lead to future achievements, making it the most advantageous course of action for them.
Upon reaching the abyss, Lu Fan found no sign of any tomb, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Nine-Tails quickly followed. "My Lord, this abyss is fraught with danger. Please be careful and avoid any mishaps!"
"Rest assured, I will be fine!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, a smile on his face, as if everything was within his grasp.
Meanwhile, Nine-Tails scanned his surroundings vigilantly. He saw no tomb, and a hint of confusion arose in his mind. "Could this not be the tomb of the Dark Night Demon God? Otherwise, why would it be like this?"
"The power of the Dark Night Demon God you sensed, it should be emanating from here, right?" Lu Fan remarked.
"Yes!"
Nine-Tails nodded solemnly, greatly concerned.
"If that's the case, then we are in the right place!" Lu Fan nodded. "As for why there's no tomb, it's likely that the Dark Night Demon God was not buried in a tomb, but rather at the deepest part of this abyss!"
"The deepest part of the abyss?"
Nine-Tails was puzzled and somewhat surprised. But in that instant, Lu Fan led him to the very bottom of the abyss. There, nestled at the deepest point, stood a palace exuding an unparalleled aura that sent chills down one's spine.
"Demon God Palace!"
Upon seeing this sight, Nine-Tails was somewhat awestruck. He hadn't expected this to be the very place where the Demon God had fallen.
"It seems we have come to the right place!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly and stepped forward, only to be stopped by Nine-Tails. "It appears no one has entered this palace. I suspect there might be traps inside. If we step in first, we might be in danger!"
"It's fine!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, then took out his fire-scorching stick and stepped forward with a composed demeanor, as if everything was under his control.
Seeing this, Nine-Tails' brow furrowed. He could tell that Lu Fan intended to force his way in, but this carried a significant risk.
Soon after, Lu Fan entered the palace. Finding no issues within the palace, he shrugged helplessly, appearing quite at ease.
Concurrently, Nine-Tails let out a sigh of relief. He had been worried moments before, but it seemed unnecessary now.
For within the palace, there was no lingering aura, which brought them great joy. This was undoubtedly the best possible outcome.
