Chapter 373 The Ceremony Continues

Ao Yuan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I will naturally keep my promise!"

After he finished speaking, Ares felt much more at ease.

However, for some unknown reason, when he met Ao Yuan's gaze, Ares felt a sudden panic.

The next second!

Ao Yuan abruptly raised his trident and thrust it down again with force.

"Ah!" Ares cried out in pain and questioned, "You... didn't you say you'd let me go?"

"Did I?"

Ao Yuan shrugged and smiled, "I only said that if you didn't speak, you would die."

"I never said I would spare you."

Hearing this, Ares's expression changed rapidly, his face turning ashen.

But upon careful reflection, Ao Yuan had indeed not promised to spare him. It was all just his own assumption.

"Ah! I'm telling you, if you dare to kill me, when the gods return to Blue Star in the future, you will surely die!"

"This... you need to think this through carefully!"

"The gods who were once high and mighty in the eyes of mortals?" Ao Yuan's lips curled into a cold sneer, "Then today, I shall slay a god!"

As his words fell,

Ares felt a darkness engulf his vision.

The next second, he plummeted into darkness, never to make another sound.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for devouring an expert at the Kai Shen Realm, gaining 150,000 evolution points, with an additional Dragon Envoy critical strike bonus of 150,000 evolution points.]

Listening to the long-lost voice in his mind, a relieved smile flashed across Ao Yuan's face.

Ao Yuan hadn't expected to gain 300,000 evolution points from this draw.

After all, Poseidon had only had a mere 200,000 evolution points before, and Ares had a full 100,000 more than Poseidon!

"As expected of a god. If I could devour a few more gods."

Ao Yuan licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.

If a few more gods were to appear, Ao Yuan would have nothing to fear even if the gods descended upon Blue Star later.

If he was unhappy, he could just swat them to death with a single palm!

While contemplating, Ao Yuan's gaze inadvertently fell upon the Spear of Destiny and Shield of Destiny left behind by Ares.

He couldn't help but ponder how wonderful it would be if he had a weapon.

It was precisely because Ares and Poseidon possessed weapons that their strength had multiplied.

If they hadn't had their weapons, Ao Yuan was confident that Ares would have been no match for him.

In fact, Ao Yuan had looked at some divine weapons and treasures in the Faith Mall before.

But unfortunately, those weapons were all extremely expensive.

Firstly, Ao Yuan didn't have enough faith points, and even if he did, he was reluctant to spend them.

Because those weapons were too powerful for him.

It was akin to a child holding a gun and cannon.

Whether he could use them perfectly was another matter entirely.

Suddenly, a wave of sea spray surged.

Looking at the trident, Spear of Destiny, and Shield of Destiny beside him, Ao Yuan had a flash of inspiration.

Since he couldn't buy a suitable weapon, could he forge one himself?

As this thought emerged, Ao Yuan's mind was flooded with possibilities.

Yes.

If he couldn't buy a weapon that suited his taste, he could naturally forge one that would satisfy him.

"I'll go see if there are any good artifact forging techniques later." With his mind made up, Ao Yuan quickly put away the trident, Spear of Destiny, and Shield of Destiny.

As for the trident, which was originally placed in the deep sea for the demon kings to retrieve.

Ao Yuan planned to switch it. After all, with their strength, they couldn't even lift the trident.

If that was the case, it would be better to buy them top-tier weapons they could use from the Faith Mall.

This way, everyone would be happy.

Meanwhile.

All the creatures on Mount Tai Bai.

Although they didn't know what had happened,

They had witnessed the entire process of the sea surface transitioning from its initial clamor to its current tranquility.

"This... is it over?"

"Who won and who lost in the end?"

"It must be Ao Yuan, right? We heard Ares's screams just now."

"That can't be right, he's a god! Isn't Ares one of the twelve Olympian gods? How could he lose?"

"I don't know who won or lost, but I know that this battle is over."

Everyone looked at each other and then began to discuss in hushed tones.

Their answers varied, but there was no excessive arguing.

After a casual remark, they fell silent again.

A glimmer of light flickered in each of their eyes, as if they were contemplating something.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the calm water began to churn.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Ao Yuan emerged from the seabed.

At this moment,

Remnants of bloodlight still clung to his massive dragon head, and his pale golden eyes shone with exhilaration.

The sea surface then churned with splashes.

Ao Yuan's colossal body was fully revealed.

His body was covered in pale golden scales, with traces of fresh blood from the recent battle.

From afar, although Ao Yuan did not exude any terrifying aura, he still exuded an immensely imposing presence.

As Ao Yuan emerged from the seabed and hovered in mid-air,

And transformed from his dragon form into a human figure,

"Daidai!"

"Dragon God!"

All the creatures of Mount Tai Bai let out loud cheers, their faces beaming with pride.

Although Ao Yuan had not spoken a word,

His emergence had already indicated the outcome of the battle between Ares and Ao Yuan.

Ao Yuan!

He had defeated the god Ares!

"Dragon God!"

"Dragon God!"

...

As the demon kings of Mount Tai Bai roared, the leaders of various countries and the creatures from the small world also shouted in unison.

No matter what, this matter had been settled.

Even those who had harbored thoughts of rebellion fell silent.

After all!

Ao Yuan had won!

This fact alone was enough to suppress all ill intentions.

In fact, their hearts were filled with dread. If Ao Yuan's previous defeat of Poseidon was merely his word, which lacked much concrete evidence.

Then the result that lay before their eyes perfectly confirmed it.

Ao Yuan could indeed defeat gods!

How could this not shock and awe others?

After all, everyone had witnessed how powerful the god had been just moments ago.

Ao Yuan stood in mid-air, as if walking on a celestial staircase, moving step by step towards the summit of Mount Tai Bai.

At this moment,

Regardless of their species, all eyes were fixed on Ao Yuan. Everyone remained silent, their gazes filled with nothing but reverence.

There was no other emotion whatsoever.

Da da da!

When Ao Yuan reached his original position,

He flicked his sleeve, and suddenly a terrifying aura descended, sweeping across the entire scene.

Everyone's breathing involuntarily hitched.

Following that,

They heard Ao Yuan speak in a voice as calm as the Great Dao!

"Let the grand ceremony continue!"

Whoosh!

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire venue instantly became lively.

The various creatures gathered, raising their cups and toasting each other boisterously.

Everyone, through their actions, expressed their celebration of the establishment of the Demon Court!

...
