"How could news from the internet spread so quickly?" a figure sighed.
It's worth noting that the ground beneath his feet was soaked, a large patch already drenched.
His name was Shui Gui!
He was a creature left behind from ancient times, having known Ju Mo since the ancient era, and they belonged to the same tier of existence.
The other three were named Jin Gang, whose face was covered in fur; Mu Naiyi, who was extremely thin all over; and Ying Zi, who was shrouded in darkness with only a pair of eyes emitting a strange light!
These individuals were good friends in ancient times, always looking up to Ju Mo. They formed a rather well-known small group in that era.
"Just wait patiently," Mu Naiyi stiffly shifted his body and said calmly, "It won't take long anyway."
"We've waited for so long, can't we wait a little longer now?"
"You speak the truth," Ying Zi nodded.
"Fine, time is the least of our worries," Ju Mo picked up a wine bottle and took a long swig before saying, "A few days earlier or later makes no difference."
"Let's just take these few days as a vacation and have some fun!"
The others fell silent upon hearing this, simply lounging on their seats at ease.
However.
This leisurely scene didn't last long.
Suddenly, a sense of intense danger surged forth.
This peculiar sense of danger was incredibly horrifying.
Because!
They couldn't detect any trace of a presence from it.
"Who!"
"Who is it, come out now!"
Ying Zi shot up abruptly, his expression extremely grim.
As he roared, his body stretched out towards the surroundings like a shadow bathed in sunlight.
An area of a hundred meters around him instantly darkened.
Everything within the shrouded area seemed to fade.
The lush green trees and tall woods immediately withered.
The other four were not idle either, with crackling sounds emanating from within their bodies, releasing terrifying auras like a tsunami.
And these auras seemed to rise endlessly.
"Did you find anything?" Ju Mo turned to Ying Zi and asked.
"No!" Ying Zi's tone was exceptionally heavy. "Do you still sense that dangerous aura?"
At these words, the few of them were instantly stunned.
They hadn't noticed it until it was mentioned, but upon careful sensing, they indeed couldn't detect any terrifying aura at all.
Everything that had just happened felt like an illusion.
"Was it an illusion?" Mu Naiyi mumbled to himself, but quickly shook his head.
Their strength was immense; illusions were impossible for them.
If it wasn't an illusion, then only one thing could be true.
That the owner of that aura was incredibly powerful and could control their presence with ease.
There were very few beings on Blue Star capable of such a feat.
Soon, a name surfaced in their minds.
Ao Yuan!
Upon thinking of this, the five exchanged glances, their faces a mixture of shock and anger.
"Let's go! We need to leave here first!"
"We'll talk about other things later!"
Ju Mo shouted, then turned and fled without hesitation.
The other four figures immediately used their respective abilities to retreat rapidly.
Ao Yuan's power was undeniable.
They hadn't recovered their peak strength yet, and were no match for Ao Yuan!
However!
If they were targeted by Ao Yuan, would they be able to escape so easily?
"Trying to leave?"
A sudden voice echoed from the void.
Following that.
Dark black clouds suddenly appeared in the sky!
Obscuring the sun!
At the same time!
A golden claw light, like a sharp sword, pierced through the dark clouds, accompanied by howling sounds, and descended in an instant!
Bang!
A very, very small sound suddenly arose, but it was like raindrops hitting a lake.
Although the sound was small, it created ripples.
At this moment.
"Ah..."
Five extremely tragic cries suddenly erupted.
Following that.
The five figures, who had already concealed themselves, suddenly reappeared.
Unlike before, each of them bore a wound.
They were bleeding profusely, and their expressions were filled with shock.
Then, as if realizing they had little chance of escaping Ao Yuan, they exchanged glances and quietly stood together, seeming to intend to pool their strength for a true confrontation with Ao Yuan!
It seemed...
They still had hidden trump cards they hadn't used.
At this moment!
In mid-air.
The dark clouds slowly dispersed, and Ao Yuan's figure emerged from them.
Under the sunlight, Ao Yuan radiated brilliance.
Beneath his feet, however, were four extremely dark clouds.
Faintly visible were streaks of blue-purple lightning arcing through the clouds.
The arcs of lightning were small, easily overlooked.
But the dangerous aura emanating from them was enough to draw everyone's attention.
Because!
This was unmistakably the aura of tribulation lightning!
"The... the aura of tribulation lightning!"
Sensing the aura hidden within the lightning arcs, the five's faces changed drastically.
They had survived since ancient times, yet they had never seen any creature capable of controlling tribulation lightning!
Not even!
The top gods could do that!
"Do... do we still want to fight?"
Ying Zi hesitated at this point.
If he had dared to fight Ao Yuan before, he now felt genuine fear upon sensing the aura of tribulation lightning.
How to put it.
If before, facing Ao Yuan, they had a chance to fight with the combined might of five people.
Then!
Now, even with the combined might of five, they could still fight!
But the outcome would most likely be their deaths!
While Ao Yuan would only be injured.
Don't think they were exaggerating; there were no beings on Blue Star who understood the terror of tribulation lightning better than them!
That was the heavenly tribulation!
Since ancient times, countless arrogant and powerful individuals had perished under tribulation lightning, too numerous to count.
"Do you think he'll let you go if you don't fight?" Ju Mo took a deep breath and whispered to the other four.
At these words, the expressions of the other four darkened.
Undeniably, what Ju Mo said was true.
They knew better than anyone that Ao Yuan wouldn't let them go.
If not for the fact that they indeed had means of self-preservation, they would have been annihilated by Ao Yuan in that single move.
"Is this all your doing?"
At this moment, Ao Yuan's gaze fell upon the five.
Instantly!
The five felt their hairs stand on end, as if they were being stared at by an ancient, ferocious beast.
If they dared to make any move, they would surely die!
Just then, Ao Yuan moved.
"Attack!"
"Let's give it our all!"
Ju Mo trembled and roared with sudden anger.
As his words fell, Ju Mo's expression turned cold!
Then, a mysterious power surged forth from within him!
