"Dragon Clan?"
The old man walked step by step towards Ao Yuan, his azure eyes scrutinizing him.
"Dragon Clan, Ao Yuan!"
Ao Yuan replied, neither servile nor overbearing. Though the old man appeared frail, his aura was strong enough to rival his own, perhaps even surpass it.
Yet, Ao Yuan maintained an unyielding demeanor.
"Hmm, Dragon Clan." A flicker of surprise crossed the old man's azure eyes.
"The Dragon Clan still exists on Blue Star!"
Ao Yuan was about to inquire further, but before he could, the old man's expression turned serious as he suddenly declared, "Sea God Poseidon!"
Poseidon!
Ao Yuan's heart stirred slightly.
As a human in his past life, how could he not know the legends of Poseidon?
He was the legendary Sea God!
One of the Twelve Olympians.
But how could a dignified Olympian still be on Blue Star, having not departed?
This was something Ao Yuan couldn't comprehend. His heart, however, tightened, and his spiritual energy surged.
Famous deities were not easily confronted.
If Poseidon meant well, it would be one thing. But if he harbored ill intentions, a great battle was inevitable.
"Logically, as a member of the Dragon Clan, I should grant you the courtesy of leaving safely."
"After all, the Dragon Clan, like myself, controls the oceans."
Hearing this, Ao Yuan did not relax; instead, his body tensed further.
His intuition told him that resolving this matter peacefully was unlikely.
As expected, things did not deviate from Ao Yuan's prediction.
The next second.
Poseidon turned his gaze around, particularly scanning the Troll and the Mummy, then frowned and changed his tone, speaking coldly, "But even if you are of the Dragon Clan."
"This is not a place for you to cause trouble!"
"You're causing a disturbance in my domain, but given your dragon heritage, I can offer you a chance for compensation."
"What compensation?" Ao Yuan asked after a moment's thought.
If he could avoid a direct confrontation with Poseidon, Ao Yuan would be pleased.
After all.
His objective had been achieved, and Poseidon was not an enemy requiring a life-or-death gamble.
Poseidon's eyes sharpened, and azure light erupted from them.
He then let out a soft cry, "I happen to be quite interested in dragon meat."
"Perhaps consuming dragon meat will help me recover some of my strength."
As soon as he finished speaking, Poseidon's face contorted into a savage, fierce expression.
He then leaped forward with incredible speed, charging towards Ao Yuan and thrusting his trident.
The attack appeared ordinary.
Yet, to Ao Yuan's eyes, it was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing!
This single strike was a testament to Poseidon's power.
Even as a deity left behind on Blue Star, having endured the passage of ages, his strength remained formidable.
"Roar!"
Ao Yuan let out a roar, his eyes widening, and torrents of spiritual energy poured out from within him.
"Weak Water!"
A faint mist emanated from Ao Yuan's body, rising to form a translucent membrane.
Clearly, facing Poseidon, Ao Yuan harbored no intention of holding back, unleashing his Dragon Might and Weak Water techniques simultaneously!
Bang!
The Dragon Might reverberated, momentarily stunning Poseidon.
However, he still managed to drive his trident forward.
The trident, imbued with immense force, struck the pale blue membrane, instantly creating a massive ripple.
In an instant, it spread across the entire film, and countless droplets of water were splashed outwards.
Fortunately, Ao Yuan managed to block the final blow.
"Oh? You can block it? You do have some skill!"
Poseidon, surprised by the blocked attack, began to release his senses to probe Ao Yuan's strength.
He had initially thought that although Ao Yuan was of the Dragon Clan, he was from the current era of declining magic.
Even if he possessed strength, it wouldn't be formidable.
He hadn't expected him to block his attack.
Although his current strength was far from its peak, a deity was still a deity!
Why were deities called gods?
It was precisely because of their immense power, surpassing the mortal realm.
Even with diminished strength, a deity was still beyond mortal comparison!
On the other side, the Troll and the Mummy, pinned by the earth spikes, their faces turned ashen at this sight.
They hadn't expected Ao Yuan to be so powerful, capable of resisting a true deity.
Although it was merely a casual strike.
They honestly admitted that if they had faced that attack, they would have perished long ago.
There would have been no other outcome.
"I never imagined there were still such powerhouses on Blue Star!"
After concluding his probe, Poseidon looked at Ao Yuan with a gaze full of admiration. "If you do not perish prematurely, you will undoubtedly ascend to godhood in time, becoming a deity of the new era!"
"But unfortunately, you've encountered me!"
With that, Poseidon grinned, a cruel smile appearing on his weathered face.
Then, a colossal aura erupted from his body, sweeping across the entirety of Atlantis.
His potent aura caused the Troll and the Mummy to tremble.
Even though they were not in front of Poseidon, they still felt a terrifying pressure descending from above.
"Indeed, a deity is worthy of the name!"
"Even after so long, they remain incredibly powerful!"
The Troll and the Mummy trembled slightly, their eyes filled with a palpable sense of delight.
Why?
Because from Poseidon's current demeanor, it was evident he was getting serious.
And in the face of a serious deity, Ao Yuan!
Would absolutely not survive!
"Hahaha!"
"A long-lost feeling!"
Poseidon let out a hearty roar, his azure eyes shining with brilliant blue light.
"Now, kneel before me!"
His gaze fell upon Ao Yuan, and the torrent of energy erupting from his body instantly bore down on him.
"Roar!"
Feeling the oppressive force, Ao Yuan's expression grew grave.
A high-pitched dragon's roar, mixed with Dragon Might, suddenly echoed throughout Atlantis.
Even!
It carried for tens of miles.
Simultaneously, a pressure unique to the Dragon Clan surged from Ao Yuan's body.
In mid-air!
Poseidon's unleashed aura and Ao Yuan's Dragon Might, these two invisible waves of energy, collided.
Instantly!
The ground turned into azure light, while the sky filled with dazzling golden light.
As they clashed, terrifying energies permeated the entire scene!
The sky roared, and the ruins within Atlantis shattered with crackling sounds.
The most unfortunate were the Troll and the Mummy.
Had they not been severely injured, they might have been able to withstand the collision of these two disparate energies.
But now, critically wounded, they were completely unable to resist.
In an instant, under the grinding force of these two energies, they coughed up blood.
Finally, their eyes rolled back, their legs gave out, and their life forces completely dissipated.
Clearly, the severely injured duo could not withstand this terrifying surge of power.
