This was not because Ao Yuan's spear was particularly formidable.
Instead, it was because they sensed a familiar scent emanating from Ao Yuan's spear.
It was the scent of Ares, the God of War!
And Poseidon, the God of the Sea!
From this, it was undeniable that the spear in Ao Yuan's hand was closely related to Ares and Poseidon.
After all.
Both Poseidon and Ares were their brothers!
"Ah! Ao Yuan!"
"You deserve to die!"
Venus's eyes instantly turned red.
Following that, she raised her white blade and pressed it down towards Ao Yuan.
The white blade radiated sharp energy, engulfing everything.
Before it even reached Ao Yuan, the demon court and even the surrounding sea level had already stirred up waves.
This was enough to show.
The power of this strike.
"Good! Come on!"
Ao Yuan laughed heartily, raising his spear and pointing it into the void.
*Boom!*
A sharp light shot out instantly, like a bullet from a gun.
*Bang!*
Venus's eyes widened, and she held her white blade to directly block the attack.
However.
Immediately after, Venus's body trembled, her face turned pale, and her white blade hummed.
The robes on her body instantly split open, and in the end, she retreated rapidly, barely managing to stabilize herself.
"Again!"
Ao Yuan had no intention of letting Venus go. Stepping forward like a god or a demon, he pointed his spear directly at Venus.
"I'll do it!"
Hephaestus, the God of Fire, glared, and immense ferocity erupted from within him.
His entire body transformed into a ball of dense flames and crashed towards Ao Yuan.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Ao Yuan had no choice but to abandon Venus and confront Hephaestus head-on.
He caught Hephaestus with his bare hands, and brilliant flames flickered around them.
"Fire, come!"
Ao Yuan suddenly roared, and strands of flame instantly covered his hands, colliding with the flames that Hephaestus had transformed into.
These were two completely different types of flames, yet both were filled with an aura that could annihilate everything in the world.
"Begone!"
Ao Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he threw Hephaestus away as if he were throwing a shot put.
But before he could rest.
*Buzz!*
A sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
At the same time.
Ao Yuan sensed a sense of danger.
He suddenly turned his head and saw an arrow radiating a faint glow rushing towards him.
This arrow seemed to be composed of spiritual energy. Besides the arrowhead and some other parts that flickered with light, there was nothing else.
Its speed was incredibly fast, making its trajectory almost impossible to track.
This was not just felt by the other gods, but even Ao Yuan felt it in his heart.
*Swish—*
The next second!
The arrow arrived in front of Ao Yuan.
*Bang!*
The dragon scales that Ao Yuan instinctively summoned did not last long. They were shattered by the arrow, which then pierced directly into his body.
*Hiss!*
"Cough, cough..."
Ao Yuan tried to recover, but it was as if a strange force was preventing his healing innate divine ability from working.
He frowned, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
It wasn't that he couldn't heal; after all, this wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation.
What surprised Ao Yuan was how powerful this arrow was.
Not only could it break his dragon scales, but it could also pierce his body.
The toughness of his body had been verified just now, ever since he had entered the Kai Shen realm.
Turning his head, he met a pair of eyes filled with resentment.
This person was none other than Hermes, whose leg he had broken earlier.
However, it was clear that this strike had not been easy for Hermes to unleash.
This seemingly simple attack had left his expression with an indescribable paleness.
"He's injured!"
Seeing Ao Yuan injured from afar, the worry on the faces of the other gods vanished, replaced by relief.
From this, it was evident that Ao Yuan was not invincible.
As long as they worked together, killing Ao Yuan was not an impossibility.
"Hermes, can you shoot another arrow?" Apollo asked, turning his head.
"Yes!"
Hermes, panting, quickly answered, "With the remaining spiritual energy I have, I should be able to shoot three more!"
"That's enough!"
Apollo laughed heartily.
Following that.
A divine light erupted from Apollo's body: "Divine Light!"
He roared and stomped in the air, soaring into the void.
He seemed to transform into a blazing sun!
"I'll join too!"
Venus smiled, wielding her white blade and unleashing a blade light dozens of meters long.
Artemis, the Moon Goddess, smiled slightly, took out her cypress branch, and swung her arm.
The cypress branch shone with silver light, transforming into a mountain-like object that pressed down on Ao Yuan.
Hephaestus roared, spitting flames that instantly turned the surroundings into a sea of fire, complementing Apollo. The temperature of the surroundings rose sharply.
Making those within this area feel as if they had fallen into lava.
As for Hermes, the messenger god, he flickered and quickly retreated to a safe position.
He took a deep breath, held his breath, and quickly raised his hands.
*Buzz, buzz, buzz!*
A ball of light flickered and finally transformed into a bow.
This longbow looked very ordinary, without even an arrow.
But as Hermes placed his hand on the bowstring.
Terrifying spiritual energy surged out and converged on the longbow.
Gradually, it transformed into a feathered arrow.
The feathered arrow looked very ordinary, with only a few places flashing with dazzling light.
This was the arrow that had pierced Ao Yuan's body earlier!
At this moment!
Seven distinct forces, like seven bone-eating fierce beasts, descended upon Ao Yuan.
Following that.
They poured down like a torrential rain.
At this moment.
Even Ao Yuan's expression became extremely solemn.
This was the combined effort of seven gods.
Although Ao Yuan's words were full of contempt, he would not truly take them lightly.
If Ao Yuan were truly so arrogant, how could he have survived to this day?
He would have long since met his demise!
"Huff, huff, huff!"
"Then let me see just how powerful you truly are!"
Taking a quiet breath, Ao Yuan raised his hands.
The spiritual energy and blood within his body began to churn.
*Whoosh, whoosh!*
Dense scales gradually grew on Ao Yuan's body.
In an instant, they covered his entire body.
At this moment!
Ao Yuan no longer looked like a human, but more like a dragon.
The only difference from a dragon was that he had a human body.
Now.
If there was a fitting description for Ao Yuan, it would be half-beast, half-human.
*Swish—*
At some unknown time, strands of red flame began to dance beneath Ao Yuan's feet.
Ao Yuan snatched up his spear.
A golden light spread across the surface of the spear.
Seeing this, Ao Yuan suddenly raised his spear high.
*Rumble!*
Thunder and lightning suddenly flashed in the sky!
Abruptly.
The blue patterns on the spear seemed to come alive, rapidly flowing to the pale golden spearhead!
At this moment, the pale golden spearhead was suddenly tinged with streaks of blue light.
At some unknown time, tendrils of flame grew from the tail of the spear and danced in the wind.
