At this moment.
The atmosphere in the arena grew tense.
This was not because of Zeus's arrival, but because Ao Yuan was completely unable to contend with Zeus!
Since entering the rift, the warriors from various countries had witnessed firsthand how Ao Yuan had rampaged and dominated.
They had all seen the immense power of Ao Yuan.
Yet, they never expected that such an existence, whom they had to look up to, could not defeat Zeus.
No, let alone defeat him.
Perhaps…
If the battle continued, he might even be killed by Zeus.
"No! That's not right!"
At this thought, a warrior suddenly shook his head, denying it.
After the initial shock, they clearly understood that Ao Yuan had many powerful techniques he hadn't used yet.
Up to this point, he had only used the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and Dragon God's Claw.
Ao Yuan's standing on Blue Star, his status as the undisputed strongest on Blue Star, was not solely due to these two abilities.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Just as everyone thought of this.
Suddenly, dots of green light emerged from the dark corners everywhere.
Seeing this, their hearts relaxed slightly.
Having experienced so much with Ao Yuan, they naturally knew this was one of Ao Yuan's abilities.
Bang!
Indeed, in the next second, a thick branch emerged from where Zeus was standing, instantly lifting him up.
"Hmm?"
Zeus was somewhat astonished, clearly not expecting Ao Yuan to have such a technique.
Bang bang bang!
As Zeus was in his shock, several more thick branches abruptly rose from the ground. They intertwined with each other, surging towards the sky from around Zeus, sealing him within.
At first glance, it resembled a cage made of green vegetation.
Before Zeus could react, the branches began to contract rapidly.
If this continued, Zeus would eventually be bound tightly, just like the other fallen gods before him.
The branches moved swiftly, instantly shrinking to an area only large enough for one person.
"Zeus shouldn't be able to escape this time!"
Seeing this, many warriors breathed a sigh of relief.
They had clearly witnessed how pathetic the powerful gods had been under the branches earlier.
It was thought that Zeus would be no exception.
Unlike the warriors' joy, Ao Yuan's face was grave.
He did not believe that this single move would be enough to trap Zeus.
He was merely using this opportunity to recover himself using the Myriad Wood technique.
Although healing could mend his injuries, Ao Yuan knew that he and Zeus would have a tough battle ahead.
Using Myriad Wood early was not a bad thing for him.
"Hahahaha!"
As Ao Yuan had predicted, Zeus, entangled by the branches, let out several hearty laughs.
Following that, incredibly bright lightning flashed from the area where the branches were wrapped around him.
The lightning obscured everyone's vision.
Only the sound of 'bang bang bang' could be heard.
Ao Yuan squinted. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see that the branches that had been entwining Zeus were all destroyed.
"Hahahaha!"
"Ao Yuan, you think this petty trick can trap me?"
After about a few seconds, the lightning gradually weakened.
At this moment.
Everyone noticed that Zeus's hair and beard were standing on end.
Lightning flickered around his entire body, making him look like a thunder god from afar.
"Ao Yuan, quickly transform into your true form!"
Zeus ignored the warriors below, his gaze fixed on Ao Yuan as he shouted, "I can't wait to taste dragon meat!"
"Hmph!"
Ao Yuan snorted and replied, "Similarly, I am eager to taste the flavor of a true god!"
As he spoke.
Golden light surged from his entire body, engulfing Ao Yuan.
His body was rapidly transforming.
In a blink of an eye, it grew immensely large.
A vast dragon's might swept across the sky, pressing down oppressively.
"Roar!"
Accompanying Ao Yuan's final dragon roar, he turned his body, and the golden light emanating from him gradually dissipated.
His feet stood on flames, his body was wrapped in lightning, and his eyes glowed with golden light as he appeared in the void. His pair of enormous dragon eyes fixed their gaze on Zeus below.
This was his strongest form, his true body.
Up until now, very few could force him to reveal his true form.
However, Zeus before him was undoubtedly one of them.
Of course, as a true god, he deserved such treatment from Ao Yuan.
"Hahahaha!"
Facing Ao Yuan's might, the warriors trembled. Fortunately, Ao Yuan's dragon's might was not directed at them; otherwise, they would have already turned into a mist of blood under such immense pressure.
Unlike the warriors, Zeus, enveloped in lightning, laughed heartily, his eyes devoid of any trace of fear.
Instead, they were filled with intense fighting spirit.
"Come!"
Zeus roared with laughter, his entire being transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning.
With the void rumbling, Zeus directly charged towards Ao Yuan.
Instantly, Ao Yuan felt an intense sense of crisis engulfing him.
"Good!"
However, Ao Yuan showed no fear. He snorted coldly and raised his dragon claw to meet the attack.
Boom boom boom!
In mid-air, the colossal dragon claw collided with the lightning form of Zeus.
Visibly.
The dragon claw was being pushed back step by step.
However.
Soon, clusters of peculiar flames and lightning surged onto the dragon claw.
The light of flames, lightning, and golden radiance seemed to complement each other, successfully withstanding the torrent of lightning pouring from Zeus.
"Hahaha!"
However, just as everyone thought the battle would subside, Zeus's maniacal laughter erupted from within the lightning.
Following that, an incredibly terrifying aura emanated from the lightning.
Boom!
Ao Yuan was instantly pushed back a step, while Zeus advanced further.
"Hahahaha!"
Zeus laughed triumphantly, "Ao Yuan, you will die!"
As he spoke, Zeus attempted to press his advantage.
"Roar!"
But Ao Yuan was not made of clay. He roared, and a terrifying dragon tail lashed out, directly sending Zeus flying.
Bang!
Zeus crashed to the ground, creating a massive crater.
"Dragon God!"
Upon seeing this, the warriors' despair vanished.
As expected, Dragon God was worthy of his title!
Ao Yuan, hearing the cheers, did not become overly excited. Instead, he frowned, looking at the residual lightning lingering on his claw.
This was left by Zeus.
He had to admit, Zeus's lightning was indeed exceptionally overbearing.
It was even more potent than the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.
"Cough cough..."
At this moment, Zeus emerged from the crater. The lightning around his body flickered, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
This was enough to show that he had not been unscathed by Ao Yuan's dragon tail sweep.
"Roar!"
Ao Yuan and Zeus did not continue their assault.
They stood facing each other from a distance, one with a countenance as dark as water, the other with a fury as fiery as a conflagration!
