From the previous contest, Zeus understood that Ao Yuan, in his true form, was no weaker than him.
Especially since Ao Yuan was of the dragon race; despite his considerable personal strength, his physical body was ultimately no match for Ao Yuan's.
Thinking about it, Zeus couldn't help but marvel.
Ao Yuan was truly a monster.
Even at the Divine Realm, he had mastered so many divine abilities of the dragon race.
This was truly unprecedented!
A hint of killing intent arose in Zeus's heart.
He knew that if he couldn't eliminate Ao Yuan, and allowed him to continue growing, he would never be able to fight him again.
At this moment.
Ao Yuan squinted at Zeus and suddenly beckoned with his claw.
*Hummm!*
A faint green light on the ground floated up and, before everyone's eyes, attached itself to Ao Yuan's body.
The residual lightning in Ao Yuan's claws vanished without a trace as if soothed by the surge of vitality from the plants.
Wan Mu possessed good regenerative properties. It was fortunate that this place was dark; otherwise, in a dense forest, Ao Yuan could have absorbed energy from the plants to replenish his power.
This was like an Ice God who could never die in a world of ice and snow.
Seeing this.
Zeus's eyes narrowed, and the lightning emanating from his body gradually receded into his eyes.
"Ao Yuan, you've given me so many surprises."
Zeus said in a deep voice, "I like you more and more."
"But it also makes me realize that I absolutely cannot let you live."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be endless!"
With that.
Zeus took a deep breath and spat out a bolt of lightning.
This bolt of lightning was terrifying, erupting to a hundred zhang in size.
Where it passed, even the void was scarred with residual arcs of lightning, as if the entire world were about to be transformed into a paradise of thunder.
"Ten Thousand Thunders, Thousand Spears!"
Zeus roared, directing this terrifying bolt of lightning towards Ao Yuan.
*RUMBLE!*
The sky was illuminated by the lightning, revealing everyone's faces.
Seeing this, many warriors trembled.
Terrifying!
It was too terrifying.
If Ao Yuan weren't here, they wouldn't even have the courage to stand.
In fact, the moment this aura emanated, they were so scared they fell to the ground.
To them, this was utterly irresistible.
They had never imagined that cultivation to the level of Zeus and Ao Yuan would be so monstrous.
To summon wind and rain was one thing, but to conjure lightning was another.
For people like them, destroying a city would be incredibly easy, wouldn't it?
Could Ao Yuan withstand such a terrifying blow?
Could he endure it?
Everyone's gaze involuntarily fixed on Ao Yuan in mid-air.
In the void.
Ao Yuan's eyes were solemn as he watched the surging lightning.
He could feel that this terrifying pressure threatened his life.
Although this feeling was not strong, it was there.
How long had it been since Ao Yuan had felt such an intuition?
"Hou Tu!"
Ao Yuan made several hand seals, and the earth on the ground flew up, forming a thick wall in mid-air.
Even after doing this, Ao Yuan didn't feel safe enough. He guided branches to grow from the ground, covering the entire earthen wall. The countless branches intertwined, further strengthening the wall.
"This should hold it, right?" Ao Yuan took a breath, his heart settling somewhat as he looked at the transformed wall.
If he hadn't worried about 'Weak Water' attracting the lightning, Ao Yuan would have added another layer of defense.
And at this moment!
Shortly after Ao Yuan erected his defenses, the terrifying lightning struck.
*CRACKLE!*
The lightning collided with the thick earthen wall.
*Sizzle!*
Arcs of lightning flashed across the branches and the earthen wall.
Amidst the sound, branches could be seen snapping, and dirt particles flew from the wall.
Judging by the situation, if it continued, it wouldn't be long before.
The earthen wall, with its two layers of defense, would completely lose its protective function.
This scene.
Left everyone stunned.
None of them had imagined that the lightning unleashed by Zeus would be so powerful.
Ao Yuan had used two layers of defense.
Yet, under the lightning, it still seemed insufficient.
It was fortunate that Blue Star still had Ao Yuan.
Otherwise, with Zeus's arrival, Blue Star would surely have faced destruction.
*BOOM!*
At this very moment.
A deafening explosion suddenly resounded.
The earthen wall in mid-air, ravaged by the lightning, crumbled into huge blocks that fell to the ground.
*THUD THUD THUD!*
As the blocks landed, they shattered into small pieces of earth, creating a scene of ruins.
Among them, broken branches could still be seen.
It was clear that in this confrontation.
Ao Yuan had lost.
He had lost completely!
*CRASH!*
A thunderous roar echoed across the sky.
The lightning did not stop, continuing its direct assault on Ao Yuan.
Moreover.
This time, the momentum was far greater than before.
Ao Yuan's colossal body seemed like a mere speck of dust before the lightning.
"Hahahahaha!"
Amidst the thunderous explosions, Zeus's arrogant laughter could be heard: "Ao Yuan, what other abilities do you have to stop me!"
"Or, with your current strength, how much longer can you resist?"
"And I! I am invincible!"
As his voice faded, Zeus's face hardened, and his chest heaved.
*BOOM!*
With a rumble, Zeus opened his mouth and spat out another bolt of lightning, which swiftly merged with the lightning in the sky.
*RUMBLE.*
In just a few seconds, the combined lightning shone with dazzling brilliance.
The momentum was far greater than before.
At this moment.
The entire sky was filled with radiant lightning.
The ground was illuminated.
"Can... can the Dragon God still resist?"
"It looks very difficult."
"The Dragon God had already used all available defensive means before."
"Even more so now, it must be harder."
"No, no, the Dragon God is definitely invincible."
"Say... should we go and help the Dragon God?"
Suddenly, one person posed the question, and all the warriors fell silent.
However, they couldn't help but tighten their grip on their well-crafted equipment.
Should they help?
A big question mark hung in their hearts.
It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but faced with Zeus's power, would their equipment be of any use?
They had no confidence in that.
At the same time.
Gazing at the dazzling lightning in the sky.
Ao Yuan, suspended in mid-air, was deeply serious.
This time, he did not choose to defend.
Instead, a bold idea formed in his mind.
He was now contemplating whether to act according to his thoughts.
