A pair of eyes stared down with an unnerving gaze.
Though their eyes appeared ordinary, they exuded an aura of death.
In an instant, the various beasts of the Demon Court trembled violently.
Their faces were filled with terror, and many lowered their heads, daring not to meet the gaze.
Seeing their fearful expressions, Zeus and Hades chuckled.
Just as Hades was about to make a move, Zeus stopped him, saying, "You are all like ants in my eyes."
"Now I'll give you a choice. If you hand over the one who offended us just now," Zeus's gaze, gathering thunder, swept coldly across the Demon Court, "I will spare the rest."
"I will only kill that one person. Of course, you must also guarantee that you will not interfere with us again."
"Otherwise, I will send all of you to the west!"
Hearing this, Hades wore an amused expression.
He understood Zeus's intentions perfectly.
However, it was quite entertaining to watch a group of people grow suspicious of each other.
Waiting quietly, the beasts and demon kings of the Demon Court remained silent, their eyes all reflecting a shared defiance.
Zeus's smile froze, and his expression gradually turned grim as he said, "Are you not afraid of death?"
"Afraid!"
A beast shouted out.
Just as Zeus's smile began to rise, the beast continued, "But even if we are afraid, we will not betray our comrades."
"And we will never let you harm even a single hair of our Dragon God!"
"That's right! To harm the Dragon God, you must step over our bodies."
"You call yourselves gods, yet you don't even dare to fight our Dragon God honorably."
"From now on, don't call yourselves gods, just call yourselves timid mice!"
*Swish!*
Zeus and Hades' faces instantly darkened.
The killing intent emanating from their eyes seemed to materialize.
"Since you court death, I shall grant you your wish!"
Zeus roared, summoning lightning to form an incredibly dense thunderball, which he hurled towards the Demon Court.
*Boom!*
An unexpected scene unfolded.
The thunderball landed on the vines, causing them to crack and splinter instantly, all falling into the water.
However, the thunderball was also dissipated, and many of the intertwined vines remained.
"Hmm?"
Zeus's expression shifted slightly.
He could tell that Ao Yuan had set this up, but he was astonished that he could no longer easily destroy the vines, which he could do before.
In such a short period, he could no longer break through the vines.
This indicated that Ao Yuan's strength had further increased.
"You are courting death!"
With this thought, Zeus became both enraged and anxious.
He roared, conjuring another colossal thunderbolt and throwing it down at them.
This strike was different from the previous one.
It was infused with Zeus's boundless fury.
The vines, already weakened by the previous impact, finally could not hold on and snapped, falling into the water.
*Splash!*
The golden light that enveloped the Demon Court above lasted less than a second before being instantly shattered by the thunder.
And the thunder!
With its momentum undiminished, it continued to press down on the Demon Court.
*Boom!*
Without any obstruction, the thunder moved at incredible speed, instantly covering the entire Demon Court.
With a deafening roar, a hundred-mile radius around the Demon Court was engulfed in dense lightning.
As for the beasts below, they didn't even have time to scream.
Their fate remained unknown.
All that could be seen was the flashing lightning.
Nothing else.
"Now, it's finally quiet."
Looking at the flickering lightning, Zeus's furrowed brow eased slightly.
"Now... it's your turn!" Zeus turned his gaze to Ao Yuan, who was still undergoing his tribulation, a cold smile playing on his lips.
As he spoke, Zeus narrowed his eyes, and streaks of lightning shot out from them.
Soon, a bolt of lightning shot through the sky, heading straight for Ao Yuan!
*Rumble!*
The thunderous sound reverberated, causing ripples in the void wherever it passed.
However,
Just as it was about to strike Ao Yuan, who was undergoing his tribulation.
"Roar!"
A loud cry suddenly echoed.
In the blink of an eye, a radiant light flashed.
A colossal figure suddenly emerged, directly blocking the lightning for Ao Yuan!
This was a dragon approximately thirty meters long.
No.
It wasn't quite a dragon; it was like a dragon and a snake.
It lacked the horns of a dragon, yet it possessed a single horn more than a snake.
In other words, it was more fitting to call it a flood dragon.
It was clear that this flood dragon was also a member of the Demon Court.
Anyone who knew him would recognize him as Ao Guang!
"Roar!"
Struck by the lightning, the colossal figure writhed in pain, its screams echoing all around.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Zeus's expression became serious.
He hadn't expected someone else to intervene at this crucial moment.
"With me here, you will not lay a hand on the Dragon God!"
Just then, Ao Guang, still in agony, let out a mournful cry.
Zeus's brows furrowed even deeper, almost forming a knot.
"You court death!"
Zeus roared, leaping into the air, his figure vanishing from its original spot.
The next second, he reappeared behind Ao Guang and simply swung a punch.
*Boom!*
The seemingly simple punch caused Ao Guang's face to contort, and blood gushed out.
His colossal body was sent flying as if hit by a rocket.
*Splash!*
His massive form crashed onto the sea's surface, creating huge waves.
"Truly courting death!"
Zeus uttered coldly.
He was also somewhat surprised, as he hadn't expected so many people to try and stop him when targeting Ao Yuan.
Were they all fools?
Despite their meager strength, they were all risking their lives to help Ao Yuan overcome his tribulation more easily.
Doing things that were essentially seeking their own demise!
"But even if you have many people protecting them, so what!"
Zeus murmured to himself, "Today!"
"With me here, he is destined to die!"
As he finished speaking.
Zeus had just stopped his thoughts and was about to make another move.
*Rumble!*
The loud roar of propellers suddenly erupted.
Zeus scanned the horizon and saw strange contraptions rapidly approaching from a distance.
*Boom!*
With a sudden roar, sparks began to fly from these peculiar contraptions.
Small, dot-like objects streaked towards them from afar.
"This is quite amusing."
Hades watched everything, a mocking smile on his face.
"Why are the people of Blue Star so foolish? Do they think this can stop us?"
