clang clang clang!
The dragon's tail struck Ares' armor with a deafening boom, staggering him several steps.
Before he could regain his balance, Ao Yuan pounced like a starving tiger.
Splash!
Ares stumbled a few steps, and due to inertia, finally collapsed onto the sea, sending colossal waves crashing one after another.
However.
Ares felt no pain, his face still bearing a mocking smile.
"Is that all the strength you have?" Ares laughed wildly, completely unfazed by the blow.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Rumble!
The sky suddenly darkened.
Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed!
A terrifying aura of world destruction erupted.
"Thunder! Heavenly tribulation!"
Ares' expression changed drastically as if he had realized something.
He frantically tried to get up, but the power of the Weak Water suppressed him, making his movements far slower than usual.
In contrast, the heavenly tribulation from the void was much faster.
Boom!
A blue light flashed from above, descending upon Ares like a waterfall.
The blue light moved incredibly fast, invisible to the naked eye.
"Ah!"
The moment the blue light touched the seawater, it transformed into terrifying lightning that spread across Ares.
In an instant, the sea surface turned into a sea of lightning, engulfing Ares' colossal body.
"Ah!"
Ares let out a series of pained screams.
At this moment.
Beneath the sea of lightning, Ares' body trembled, his hair standing on end like a startled cat.
His vision was filled with rampant blue light, the lightning seemingly merged with the seawater.
Ares struggled to stand, but he was like an insect stuck in a spider web, completely unable to move.
"Damn it!"
Ares suddenly understood Ao Yuan's intention, and anger surged through him.
He wasn't worried about his life, as this attack alone was not enough to kill him.
What angered him was that Ao Yuan's move had truly humiliated him.
This was not a battle for him, but an insult!
"But you think you can destroy me with this?"
"Dragon brat, you underestimate me too much!"
Ares roared in fury, his voice echoing through the heavens.
Above the void.
As this voice resonated, Ao Yuan's expression remained unchanged, only a hint of coldness flickered in his eyes.
"Thunder, come!"
Ao Yuan moved his hands slightly, and streaks of lightning appeared from his claws.
He spread his claws and hurled the heavenly tribulation lightning he held.
Boom boom boom!
Countless bolts of lightning, like cannonballs, rained down upon Ares.
Swish swish swish—
Brilliant flashes of light erupted before their eyes.
The creatures of Mount Taibai couldn't help but shiver.
Terrifying.
Too terrifying.
They asked themselves, thankfully Ao Yuan's attack was not directed at them.
Otherwise, they would have reported to the King of Hell hundreds of times.
Perhaps Ares, under this devastating blow, would have returned to his spiritual home and his earthly form?
Just as this thought crossed their minds.
"Hahahaha!"
A hearty laugh suddenly echoed from the sea of lightning.
"Is this all the power you have? Are you giving me a bath?"
"Not enough, not enough, come again!"
The creatures of Mount Taibai were dumbfounded.
They had expected that after such a brutal attack, Ares, even if he didn't die, would be in a terrible state.
But to their surprise, Ares not only wasn't as they imagined.
Instead, he was loudly mocking them.
Ao Yuan listened to Ares' voice with a calm expression.
He looked at the sea surface below, which had already turned into a sea of lightning, and calmly uttered a few words: "As expected of a god, truly a god!"
"An invincible existence in every aspect."
"But I am also very curious, how much will my strength increase if I devour you."
Ao Yuan's voice seemed to be a murmur to himself, but it reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity.
"Hahahaha!"
"You want to devour me? Just with your meager tricks..."
Ares laughed presumptuously, but before he could finish his sentence.
Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
How could this be?
How could he possibly give me such a strong sense of crisis?
Is it an illusion?
Ares' expression became grave, and he shook his head, pondering in his mind.
Having fought with Ao Yuan for so long, he had a certain understanding.
Ao Yuan's strength was indeed considerable, and he possessed many of the Dragon clan's innate divine abilities.
But limited by his realm, there was no way he could evoke such a high sense of crisis in him.
"Honestly, with this armor you're wearing, it's quite difficult to completely deal with you."
"But... what if the armor breaks?"
As he spoke.
A dense sense of crisis washed over him, filling every part of his body.
At this moment, he saw an extremely brilliant, dazzling sapphire light emerge from the seabed and was then held in Ao Yuan's hand.
As it flowed, Ares realized that the thing emitting the sapphire light was a weapon.
This weapon looked very heavy, with two short and one long sharp prongs at the tip.
A trident!
This was Poseidon's Trident of the Sea God!
With a brief glance, Ares recognized the weapon.
Suddenly, Ares understood something and stopped his mockery, desperately wriggling his body to break free.
The heavenly tribulation could harm him, but it wouldn't be fatal.
The trident, however, was entirely different.
As a weapon used by gods, the power it contained was immeasurable.
Normally, it might not be a big deal, but now, he was like a fish on a cutting board, at the mercy of others!
"Slash!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out. The trident was raised high, and an intense sense of crisis locked onto Ares.
"Bad!"
Ares' face turned pale with fear. He began to struggle frantically, while a surge of dark energy erupted from his body, clinging to his armor, trying to resist the blow.
As long as he could withstand it, there wouldn't be any major problems.
And then, as long as he exerted all his strength to break free.
The final outcome would not change in the slightest.
Ultimately, Ao Yuan would be the one to be annihilated!
However, thoughts are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The next moment!
The trident descended with a thunderous crash.
At that instant!
A surge of terrifying dark energy erupted from the shimmering sea of lightning. The sapphire light, the sea of lightning, and the dark energy fought for dominance, neither yielding to the other.
However, this scene did not last long.
The sapphire light and the sea of lightning gradually merged into one.
Under their combined pressure, the dark energy was continuously compressed and shattered.
Finally!
Rumble!
A deafening roar erupted as the dark energy finally gave way.
The trident, its remaining force undiminished, struck the armor head-on.
Accompanied by a loud hum, the divine patterns on Ares' armor began to flow.
It seemed to be trying to resist the remaining power of the trident.
As long as it could withstand it, Ares would ultimately be the victor!
After all.
With no way to deal with him, Ao Yuan could only wait for him to break free.
