These individuals were not many, numbering only a hundred or so.
The next moment!
Ao Yuan's calm eyes suddenly widened, and a terrifying aura instantly spread from within him.
"Main God? I'd like to see how strong you are!"
An extremely cold voice escaped from Ao Yuan's mouth.
Following that.
"Roar!"
A loud dragon's roar, as if capable of inspiring courage, exploded forth.
Buzzing!
The void trembled violently, and invisible waves of air surged like a whirlwind.
Boom boom boom!
Milky white halos erupted with terrifying sound waves.
Everyone within the halos paled, their figures even becoming somewhat unsteady.
Only the leaders of the various nations behind Ao Yuan remained completely unaffected.
Boom boom boom!
All of this happened in an instant.
In reality, it all occurred within the span of a single breath.
Just then.
Ao Yuan turned his palm into a claw, and his hand radiated dazzling golden light, akin to the rising sun.
The next second.
An incredibly sharp claw struck out.
Wherever it passed, an unbearable sharpness cascaded forth, directly hitting the halo.
Boom!
A colossal, deafening roar suddenly resounded.
Unlike the cannonballs that had been fired before.
With this simple strike, the halo shook violently.
The figures within swayed precariously.
Even the spiritual energy maintaining it was on the verge of collapse.
The previously enlarged cracks began to heal significantly.
However, the halo managed to withstand this attack in the end.
Witnessing this, although the leaders of the various nations felt regret, their gazes towards Ao Yuan were filled with immense reverence.
They knew better than anyone how terrifying that halo was.
They had tried everything they could but failed to break through the light source.
Yet Ao Yuan.
How long had he been here?
Without using any elaborate techniques, just a roar from his throat and a casual strike of his hand.
He had caused such a powerful fluctuation in the halo.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Ao Yuan continued,
The halo would not last long before completely shattering.
"Ao... Ao Yuan!"
"Don't you understand what we're saying?"
"Stop, quickly stop! This is not something you can handle."
"Stop it now!"
"If you stop now, we won't hold you responsible."
...
Inside the halo, everyone was shocked and frantically tried to dissuade Ao Yuan.
They were scared.
They were truly scared.
It wasn't that they didn't want to deal with Ao Yuan, but their abilities were insufficient.
For now, they could only appease Ao Yuan and then discuss other matters.
Ao Yuan's response was simple.
He looked at the halo before him, a sneer of contempt curling his lips.
Then he raised his hand and attacked again.
Boom!
Terrifying, undulating sound waves swept out.
Ao Yuan's other claw glowed with golden light and met the halo head-on.
This time, the force behind the strike was even greater than before.
The halo, already on the verge of collapse, could no longer bear it.
With a tearing sound, it rippled.
Under Ao Yuan's claw, everything before him was annihilated. The milky white halo dissolved into specks of light and vanished into the void.
Pfft!
The figures within the halo paled, their auras suddenly weakening.
Even a trace of blood seeped from their lips.
They all looked at Ao Yuan, their eyes filled with intense fear.
It was impossible to shake off.
"Ao... Ao Yuan!"
"You... aren't you afraid of the Main God?"
"If the Main God finds out about this, not only you, but your entire Demon Court will surely be destroyed under the Main God's wrath."
After uttering these stern words, the aura of those figures stabilized somewhat, and they resumed their attempts to persuade him.
"Ao Yuan, we know you are very powerful."
"When the Main God descends in the future, I hope you can coexist peacefully."
"We understand that you want to stand up for them."
"How about this, if this matter ends here, I can guarantee that even if the Main God appears later, they will take no action against your Demon Court."
"What do you say?"
Swish—
Their response was simple.
Ao Yuan's figure instantly vanished from his original position.
The next second.
Ao Yuan, who knew when, had already appeared in their midst.
Intense golden light erupted from Ao Yuan's body.
The golden radiance, like a golden lightning bolt, swiftly darted around them.
With each figure it touched, their complexion drastically changed, and they were sent flying backward as if struck by a large truck.
Waves of terrified screams erupted one after another.
Accompanying them was a strong scent of blood.
At this moment.
The entire world seemed to have transformed into a giant slaughterhouse.
The leaders of the various nations and their soldiers stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them.
Their bodies were stiff, their lips twitched, but they were unable to utter a single word.
Only their dazed eyes widened further and further.
Terrifying.
It was too terrifying.
Everything they were witnessing seemed impossible.
Yet it was happening before them so realistically.
Recalling their helplessness over the past few days, the soldiers and leaders of various nations felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
How could there be such a vast difference between people?
No...
It should be said, how could there be such a vast difference between people and Ao Yuan?
Bang bang bang!
The scene continued. In just three breaths.
The figures who were previously within the halo all lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
At this moment.
Only one figure remained on the scene.
That was Ao Yuan.
"Dragon... Dragon God Lord?"
"Long live Dragon God Lord!"
Someone shouted, and then the entire scene erupted in a frenzy of celebration.
"Dragon God Lord, you are truly strong."
"Dragon God Lord, you are my idol from now on."
"Dragon God Lord, I didn't respect you before, but from now on, anyone who dares to disrespect you is my enemy."
"Me too, me too!"
The leaders and soldiers of various nations let out a deafening roar.
This time, their words were clearly filled with reverence and respect, and the previous fear was gone.
After all.
If Ao Yuan had wanted to do anything just now, they would have been unable to stop him and could only wait for death.
And Ao Yuan!
He had not done so.
This fact alone was enough to earn their respect.
And at this moment.
Ao Yuan was unaware of the thoughts of others, and perhaps even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared.
At this moment.
He raised his eyes and looked at the crack in the void, his brow furrowed slightly.
After the halo dissipated, he could more directly feel the aura emanating from within the crack.
It was an extremely powerful and bizarre aura.
