Ao Yuan's gaze sharpened, and spiritual energy surged around him, forming one dazzling orb of light after another.
In an instant, these incredibly bright orbs condensed together, transforming into a vibrant, multicolored radiance. 138 Reading Network
Bang!
As the giant hand collided with the radiant orbs, blinding light erupted with unmatched ferocity.
The light surrounding Ao Yuan visibly vibrated.
The intense residual shockwaves sent numerous human cultivators and powerful demon kings, who had fled to a distance, flying to the ground.
Fortunately, Ao Yuan had absorbed the brunt of the force, preventing them from suffering major injuries.
Even so, the demon kings and human cultivators remained utterly shaken.
They couldn't withstand the mere residual shockwaves, their bodies sustaining injuries.
And this was from a considerable distance away.
It was hard to imagine how much power Ao Yuan endured while clashing with that colossal hand.
And how formidable the owner of that hand must be!
Perhaps there was an insurmountable chasm between them and the owner of the hand, a gap they could never cross in their lifetimes.
No!
Not a chasm, but rather they couldn't even catch a glimpse of the owner of that hand!
Ao Yuan!
Could the Dragon God of Great Xia truly withstand it?
"Dragon brat! Do you really think you can stop it?"
A sharp shout suddenly resounded from all directions!
At this moment.
The giant hand seemed to vanish.
It was replaced by a layer of incredibly brilliant light!
The light was blinding, filling everyone's eyes.
Now, all that could be seen was the brilliant light, and nothing else. The world seemed to have turned white!
"Dragon God... can he withstand it?"
The question from before resurfaced in everyone's minds.
This time, their doubt was even more profound.
Along with it came a deep-seated worry from the bottom of their hearts.
They were afraid.
Afraid that something would happen to Ao Yuan.
In their anxious state, though only a few seconds passed, they felt as if time had stretched endlessly.
Finally, after several seconds.
At the first opportunity, everyone looked up at the sky.
They wanted to see what had become of Ao Yuan.
Fortunately, they saw Ao Yuan's figure!
As for the giant hand, it had already disappeared.
Ao Yuan's body was now covered in light that shattered into spiderweb-like patterns.
Cracks, shocking to behold, were visible everywhere, but thankfully, the layer of light did not shatter completely.
"Ao Yuan won!"
Upon seeing this, the numerous demon beasts and human cultivators below erupted with joy.
"Dragon God! Dragon God!"
"Hahaha! I knew the Dragon God would win in the end!"
"Dragon God is the strongest, how could he possibly lose?"
"That's right!!"
...
Everyone's faces were wreathed in smiles, their tightly strung nerves instantly relaxing.
At this very moment.
The light surrounding Ao Yuan gradually shattered into countless specks of light, dissipating into the world.
However.
At that instant, everyone's smiles froze.
A hoarse voice, like a muffled thunderclap, suddenly echoed through the void.
"Dragon brat!"
"You are courting death!"
"In the near future, I will surely slay you to quell the hatred in my heart!"
"Hmph!" Ao Yuan responded with a cold snort, "I will return those words to you!"
As his voice faded, the shattered specks of light vanished without a trace.
Time!
Sank into an eternal silence.
It lasted until, after a long period of silence.
When they saw Ao Yuan slowly descending, transforming back into his human form.
Everyone exchanged glances, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.
The owner of that giant hand was like a mountain pressing down on their hearts.
Suffocating them.
Ao Yuan!
In their eyes, he was already an invincible being.
Yet, they never expected that within this Heavenly Path, there existed beings so much stronger than Ao Yuan!
His true form hadn't even revealed itself, yet a single manifested hand was so powerful!
Looking at the ravaged surroundings, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of absurdity.
These damages were caused by nuclear explosions and remnants of various energies...
Their strength was so perversely immense.
Only such devastating explosions could even begin to compare with them.
Without exaggeration, everyone's hearts were filled with despair at that moment.
A despair with no glimmer of hope.
Today it was a giant hand, but what about when its true form appeared in the future? How would they resist then?
It seemed... completely impossible to resist!
"What are you all thinking about?"
Just then, a faint voice drifted down from above.
Everyone looked up in unison, seeing Ao Yuan in his human form, walking leisurely in the air, step by step descending.
It was as if he were treading on a celestial staircase.
Seeing Ao Yuan, everyone's thoughts slightly calmed.
Ao Yuan had just annihilated the intruders who had breached Blue Star.
Right now.
It was a time for celebration, not for sadness and grief.
However, just as they were about to speak, Ao Yuan seemed to guess their thoughts and suddenly said, "You feel he is too powerful?"
"Too powerful to be defeated?"
Upon hearing this, the words that were on the tip of their tongues fell silent again.
Hearing no response from them, Ao Yuan furrowed his brow and asked, "In your eyes, am I invincible?"
Although they didn't understand why, everyone nodded in unison.
How formidable Ao Yuan was!
As natives of Blue Star, they knew better than anyone.
"One day, you will all reach my level!" Ao Yuan said solemnly.
"Rea... really?"
Someone asked dazedly, reaching Ao Yuan's level.
To be honest, if Ao Yuan hadn't said it, they would never have believed it!
"Naturally!" Ao Yuan stated with utmost seriousness.
"And Odin! Though powerful, he is not someone who can never be surpassed!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then, a breathtaking light of hope ignited in each of their eyes.
That's right!
Even if someone was powerful, was it truly impossible to surpass them forever?
Just like Great Xia!
Decades ago, who could have imagined it becoming a powerful nation from a state of utter devastation?
And now, Blue Star was experiencing a spiritual energy resurgence.
Given time, as spiritual energy continued to recover!
Their strength would undoubtedly be transformed.
How long had this spiritual energy resurgence been happening, and already so many powerhouses had emerged.
Were they all going to stagnate from now on?
Just thinking about it made it clear that this was absolutely impossible!
The more they thought, the calmer their previously turbulent hearts became.
They even involuntarily began to smile.
Seeing this, Ao Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
He brought the corpses of Zeus, Mithra, and the other chief gods to everyone.
He mused, "These are the chief gods from the Heavenly Path, and they are filled with abundant spiritual energy."
"You can try to absorb them!"
"This will greatly help in improving your strength!"
