Snap!
A crisp sound.
The final wails of the six people abruptly ceased. Their struggling bodies seemed to have lost all strength, falling to the ground with a thud.
They… were dead!
Dead by these seemingly ordinary branches.
The faces of the many warriors behind Ao Yuan were stunned.
Their pupils widened slightly.
Only one thought remained in their minds: Ao Yuan was incredibly strong!
The mighty gods.
Under his command, they were truly like ants, just as he had said!
Then, how powerful must he himself be?
My heavens.
The warriors didn't remain stunned for long.
Because in the next second.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three incredibly terrifying auras swept in from afar.
Pfft.
Before they even arrived, the warriors' faces turned pale, their blood churned, and they spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even though they possessed means to resist cultivators, the gap compared to these three was still too vast.
Their equipment was nothing short of a joke.
Ao Yuan glanced back at them and waved his hand, causing a faint mist to rise and envelop them.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
With Ao Yuan's help, the warriors felt an instant sense of relief.
At this moment.
They finally looked towards the source of the auras.
They saw one woman and two men.
The woman was clad in silver, holding a spear. Her beauty was striking and aloof, like a rose blooming alone on a snowy mountain.
Compared to her, the other two appeared quite monstrous.
One was enormous, standing ten meters tall. Horrifically, his abdomen and entire body were covered in scarlet eyes, making him a grotesque sight.
The last one was massive, with fire spewing from his eyes and hundreds of snakes growing from his head, their forked tongues flickering menacingly.
They, alongside the exceptionally beautiful woman, perfectly embodied the phrase "beauty and the beast."
If Fa Yan were here, he would recognize these three as Athena, Argos, and Typhon!
They were all formidable subordinates of Zeus!
"You dare to act!"
As their gazes met, the three focused intently on Ao Yuan. Athena waved her hand, pointing her spear directly at him.
Ao Yuan felt a surge of icy air, but he paid it no mind, instead sneering without even looking at her.
The strength of these three was decent; they were already at the fifth level of the Godly Opening realm.
Before, they would have been formidable adversaries.
Of course, that was before.
To his current self, these individuals were merely ants he could crush with a flick of his finger.
His target, from beginning to end, was only one: Zeus, one of the main gods!
"Why waste words with him? Let's just fight!"
"You're right! If we can capture him and present him to the main god, I'm sure we'll be rewarded."
...
As they spoke.
Typhon's eyes shot out a ball of dense flame. Then, the giant snakes growing from his hair all flicked their forked tongues and lunged at Ao Yuan with open jaws.
Instantly, these enormous snakes transformed into dozens of feet in size, carrying a terrifying aura capable of incinerating everything.
With this single strike, the faces of the warriors behind Ao Yuan contorted in fear.
This seemingly simple attack made them acutely sense the threat of death.
"Dragon God, be careful, please be extremely careful!"
"This attack is different from the previous ones."
"You must be cautious!"
...
The warriors urgently warned Ao Yuan.
However, their words caused Athena and Argos's expressions to change.
Dragon God!
Others who were not privy to core positions might not understand what Dragon God signified.
But they did.
Dragon God represented the current strongest being on Blue Star.
"Attack, attack together!"
Athena and Argos cried out in shock and anger.
They simultaneously launched their attacks at Ao Yuan.
Athena rapidly formed several hand seals, then with a flick of her wrist, hurled her spear.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
An icy, profound chill instantly spread, like a frigid wind from a ten-thousand-year-old glacier, intensely biting.
Argos also roared, his eyes widening as hundreds of divine rays shot forth.
These hundreds of divine rays converged into a towering phantom that surged towards Ao Yuan.
As soon as the three attacked, their power was evident.
At this very moment.
The warriors behind Ao Yuan were all deathly pale.
Even within the mist, they still felt the terrifying aura, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Ao Yuan, however, remained unfazed.
He stood his ground, as if this incredibly terrifying attack was merely a lackluster strike to him.
"Die!"
In the next second, Typhon was the first to charge at Ao Yuan.
His face was contorted in ferocity, his eyes glaring as if he intended to utterly annihilate Ao Yuan.
"Ant!"
Looking at the fire-engulfed giant snakes, Ao Yuan gently waved his hand, and a stream of dense flame poured out.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"
Upon contact with the flames, the previously ferocious giant snakes let out agonizing screams.
Despite both being flames, a clear hierarchy was instantly established based on their intensity.
Ao Yuan did not stop there.
Instead, he stomped his foot lightly, and a colossal, immensely heavy boulder suddenly rose from the ground.
It perfectly blocked the incoming spear.
Buzz!
The spear struck the boulder, emitting a resounding boom. Stone fragments flew, but fortunately, it held.
As for the erupting divine rays, Ao Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
Following that.
His eyes blazed, and strands of golden light instantly erupted from them.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present.
The golden light and the divine rays collided in mid-air.
Incredibly, though the golden light and divine rays appeared to be on entirely different levels, as they collided, the immensely powerful divine light was fiercely suppressed by the golden light.
Like an ant gnawing at a colossal beast, the divine light was extinguished in moments.
When the divine rays vanished from sight.
The arena fell silent.
Except for Ao Yuan, no one had anticipated.
That Ao Yuan could single-handedly contend against three incredibly powerful beings.
Moreover, observing the performance of Ao Yuan and the three of them.
The three had clearly used a significant portion of their strength.
What about Ao Yuan?
It seemed like just an ordinary strike.
"How… how is this possible!"
Athena, Argos, and Typhon, who had just extinguished their flames, all showed a flicker of shock in their eyes upon witnessing this scene.
They were considered powerful individuals here.
Core figures by the side of the main gods.
Yet, in their battle against Ao Yuan, they were constantly suppressed.
And he, with one person alone, was suppressing all three of them.
One must remember.
Ao Yuan!
He was someone who had emerged from Blue Star.
The resources he had obtained were in no way comparable to the resources they had acquired.
