"Stos, watch your back!"
He shouted in terror.
Stos turned his head in confusion.
Upon seeing the scene behind him, his eyes instantly constricted.
A pale golden spear was speeding from afar.
The aura of its sharpness was directly behind him.
"A spear!"
Despite his fear, Stos, being a god, instinctively tried to dodge.
However, the spear was too fast, too fast.
With a "swish," the spear instantly struck him.
*Crash!*
The raging flames he had manifested ignited, seemingly attaching themselves to the spear, attempting to resist.
*Crash!*
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The flames erupting from Stos's body posed no threat to the spear. Instead, they were like a great nourishment, devoured by the spear, causing its aura to surge dramatically.
"Ah!"
A chilling, bone-chilling scream escaped Stos's mouth.
He struggled, as if realizing something, his face filled with terror.
"This... this spear is absorbing my spiritual energy... Ah! Damn it..."
Subsequently, Stos's voice abruptly ceased.
Because.
A terrifying dragon tail suddenly swept across him, sending Stos flying backward instantly.
Before everyone could be astonished.
*Bang!*
Another sound echoed.
The crowd turned to see Apollo completely engulfed by the flames spewing from Ao Yuan.
"Ah! Damn it!"
"Heavenly fire! This is heavenly fire!"
Apollo's panicked voice came from within the flames.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled.
Heavenly fire!
They truly hadn't expected this.
"Quick, quickly go help Apollo!"
The Moon God shouted tremulously, then flashed forward, charging towards Ao Yuan.
Seeing this, the others followed suit.
They knew that anyone else could be in trouble, but Apollo absolutely could not.
If he were to fall, they would have no chance of defeating Ao Yuan.
As if sensing the critical situation.
Their speed was astonishing.
In an instant, they arrived around Ao Yuan.
Simultaneously, they attacked Ao Yuan with all their might.
Facing the onslaught, Ao Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
He seemed to understand Apollo's importance, still relentlessly striking towards Apollo.
*Bang bang bang!*
The Moon God's strike landed on Ao Yuan.
Stos, enduring the pain in his heart, also attacked Ao Yuan.
The other few did the same.
*Bang bang bang!*
Amidst the loud noises, they also inflicted significant injuries upon Ao Yuan.
However, at this moment, Ao Yuan had already reached Apollo.
"Dragon God's Claw!"
Ao Yuan ignored the heavenly fire, shouting loudly. Arcs of lightning suddenly erupted on his dragon claws.
He swung them directly down.
*Crash!*
"Ah..."
Apollo, already suffering under the heavenly fire, finally could no longer endure and cried out in agony.
Ao Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he raised his claws again, continuing to strike at Apollo.
Seeing this, the others descended into chaos, having no choice but to continue attacking Ao Yuan, hoping to make him stop.
However.
Despite the wounds appearing on his body from their attacks, Ao Yuan seemed oblivious to pain.
Like a robot, he only knew how to strike Apollo, claw after claw.
It wasn't until after more than ten strikes, as Apollo's cries shifted from high-pitched wails to low groans, that he finally stopped.
"It's your turn now!"
Ao Yuan did not rest. He turned, his body covered in blood, and looked at the remaining few, his eyes glowing with a dark light.
At this moment.
As they met Ao Yuan's gaze, they all involuntarily took a few steps back.
What kind of look was that? It was so terrifying.
Following this, an angry roar reached their ears.
"Lightning, come!"
*Rumble!*
A violent tremor suddenly erupted in the sky.
Everyone turned to look and saw the sky was completely overcast.
It was as if something was brewing above.
Faintly, they could see streaks of radiant lightning appearing and disappearing within.
A terrifying aura, capable of annihilating the world, then spread out.
Witnessing this scene.
Everyone felt a sense of dread.
"Lightning... how can there be lightning?"
"This seems to be the aura of tribulation lightning."
"My heavens, could he have controlled tribulation lightning?"
"How is that possible! How can a human control tribulation lightning!"
The crowd cried out in alarm.
Whether it was tribulation lightning or heavenly fire.
In their understanding, these were not things humans could control.
Yet Ao Yuan seemed to have mastered both?
"No, quickly stop him!" the Moon God exclaimed, causing the remaining few to snap back to reality and attempt to intercept Ao Yuan.
But little did they know!
A layer of blue mist emanated from Ao Yuan's body.
Perfectly shrouding his form.
Their attacks struck the mist with a resounding impact.
The mist trembled violently, ripples spreading across its surface.
It was a pity.
This final layer of mist did not dissipate. Instead, it emitted a soft glow.
Clearly.
It would take at least some more time to completely break through this layer of mist.
Unfortunately, Ao Yuan did not grant them this final bit of time.
From within the mist, Ao Yuan suddenly let out a long roar: "Final move!"
"If you can defeat me, I will spare you!"
As soon as the words fell.
Thunder crackled within the dark clouds.
The sound was deafening, like mountains collapsing and the sea roaring.
Then.
*Boom!*
A brilliant bolt of lightning pierced the sky and descended.
This bolt of lightning was incredibly vast, its end seemingly out of sight.
The aura it exuded was as if it could annihilate everything in the world.
*Rumble!*
Following closely, countless tribulation lightning bolts descended from the dark clouds, like a myriad of arrows shot from a bow, striking down with unstoppable force.
They had nowhere to hide and could only defend to the best of their ability!
"Ao Yuan, are you not afraid of death?"
"You actually invoked tribulation lightning?"
"Let me tell you, even if the tribulation lightning annihilates us, you yourself will not survive!"
"Ah! Damn Ao Yuan!"
The remaining few faces were filled with terror, for from this aura, they truly sensed a threat to their lives.
Hearing their words, Ao Yuan showed no fear. Instead, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
He looked through the mist at the whistling tribulation lightning and murmured, "When did dogs start biting their masters?"
Ao Yuan's words were not heard by anyone.
Because!
*Whoosh!*
Innumerable tribulation lightning bolts descended and struck them.
The thunderous sound of lightning echoed endlessly!
"Ah! Ao Yuan!"
"Remember this! Even if we die, you will surely not survive!"
"Heaven's Gate, open!"
Suddenly, a fierce roar reverberated in Ao Yuan's ears.
"Ao Yuan, just you wait, it won't be long! You'll be down in the Yellow Springs to accompany us!"
Before Ao Yuan could respond, he suddenly felt a very ancient aura sweeping towards him.
As Ao Yuan tried to see what was happening, this ancient energy vanished as if it had never appeared.
Following this, the sea of lightning roared, and the terrifying aura of tribulation lightning annihilation spread.
All that met the eye was a vast expanse of blue!
Interspersed with waves of thunder that rumbled incessantly.
