Within this Celestial Road.
Zeus and Hades stood still, their gazes locked onto the exit of the rift directly ahead.
Through the rift, they could clearly see everything on the Blue Star.
At this moment, streaks of fire shot into the sky, illuminating their faces.
"I didn't expect that after not returning to the Blue Star for thousands of years, its cultivators are not strong, but its technology has developed to such a scale," Zeus said with great admiration.
Hades smiled and paid it no mind.
Firelight overflowed, and the explosions were deafening.
At first glance, it was quite alarming, but upon closer inspection, one would realize that it was all sound and fury, signifying nothing.
It was entirely for show and useless in practice.
With such technological means, they could only harm cultivators at the Spirit Awakening realm.
As for those in the Divinity Manifestation realm, a slight resistance would prevent any significant damage, even at the epicenter of the explosion.
At most, it would be a minor obstruction.
Not to mention the cultivators in the God Transformation realm; for them, these cannonballs could be completely ignored, and they could walk as if on flat ground.
"If we let them develop further, they might truly be able to create something that poses a threat to the Divinity Manifestation realm," Zeus murmured.
"Hahahaha!"
Hades burst into laughter.
He could clearly discern the jest in Zeus's words.
It was obvious that he found it incredibly astonishing that they could create something that threatened the Spirit Awakening realm.
As for the Divinity Manifestation realm, it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
If it weren't for Ao Yuan, this variable on the Blue Star.
A single Divinity Manifestation realm cultivator would be enough to plunge the entire Blue Star into ruin.
Thinking of Ao Yuan, Zeus's eyes turned somewhat grim.
Ao Yuan!
For him, a dignified Chief God, to suffer such a great loss at Ao Yuan's hands.
To the point of nearly losing his life.
Based on this alone, he had already marked Ao Yuan as someone who must be killed.
"Approximately how much longer until we can enter the Blue Star?" Zeus turned and asked a group of people not far away.
This group was channeling spiritual energy to accelerate the widening of the rift.
"Reporting to Chief God, it will take about another hour." The person at the forefront of channeling spiritual energy quickly replied.
"An hour?"
Zeus narrowed his eyes, lightning flashing continuously, emitting faint rumbling sounds.
He was already growing impatient.
He wanted to eliminate Ao Yuan at the earliest opportunity.
This person who had humiliated him would absolutely not be let off.
He must be taught a lesson.
Let him clearly understand that some people are not to be provoked.
"This is all thanks to you." Zeus suddenly turned to Hades.
"It's nothing," Hades waved his hand. "The sooner this is resolved, the better."
"Besides, you've already agreed to lend me the Lightning Core."
Hearing this, Zeus smiled slightly and said no more.
Speaking of which, he truly had to thank Hades for his swift recovery.
If it weren't for Hades, it would have taken at least ten to twenty days to recover from his injuries.
Ten to twenty days were but a fleeting moment to Zeus.
However, having to wait ten to twenty days before eliminating Ao Yuan was definitely not a good thing for him.
Fortunately, everything was now resolved.
One hour.
Just one more hour of waiting.
And Ao Yuan would be completely annihilated!
"Enjoy your last hour."
Zeus murmured softly, his gaze returning to the sea of fire directly ahead.
At the same time.
Outside the rift.
Bang bang bang!
The violent explosions continued unabated.
The ever-present sea of fire had significantly raised the surrounding temperature.
The soldiers from various countries standing far away were drenched in sweat from the heat.
Yet, not a single one wiped their brow, nor did any remove their heavy gear.
They all stared intently at the sea of fire, their hands gripping their heavy weapons tightly.
To ensure that if any figure emerged from the fiery inferno, they could immediately riddle them with bullets.
"They're coming!"
Just then, they saw a figure leap out from the sea of fire.
His entire body was engulfed in flames, like a human torch.
As soon as he appeared, he charged towards the soldiers.
Judging by his appearance, he clearly intended to eliminate the soldiers present.
Bang bang bang!
Simultaneously, countless soldiers raised their weapons and, like cold robots, pulled their triggers.
Boom boom boom!
Innumerable fiery tongues spewed forth, and bullets struck the figure instantly.
However, incredibly, these bullets did not bring the figure down.
He merely staggered back a few steps.
That was all.
Then, as if adapting to the power of the bullets, he began to charge forward, bullet by bullet, step by step.
Everything about him remained largely the same, only his speed had slightly decreased.
But even with his reduced speed, it was still far beyond what a normal person could achieve.
At his current pace, he would reach all the soldiers within a minute.
"Bad!"
"Quick, quick, use heavy fire to suppress him, we absolutely cannot let him break through!"
The soldiers from various countries shouted in unison, their actions accelerating simultaneously.
Silently, they furiously pulled their triggers.
Because.
They knew that if he were to reach them, their current force would be utterly incapable of stopping him.
In that case, the only outcome awaiting them would be certain death!
However.
Amidst the hail of bullets, which could have riddled a steel plate, they caused no discernible injuries to the figure.
His speed had not even slowed significantly; at a glance, he appeared almost unchanged.
As the gunfire intensified, the distance between him and the soldiers continued to shrink.
"Die!"
At this moment, the figure had reached a soldier, emitting a resounding roar.
A formidable aura emanated from him.
"Careful!"
"Quick, run!"
"Hurry and run, absolutely do not confront him head-on."
The faces of the soldiers from various countries changed drastically, and they continuously shouted warnings.
The targeted soldier felt a sense of imminent danger.
Fortunately, he was a seasoned warrior. Seeing the figure before him, he quickly rolled to the side, narrowly dodging the attack.
Bang!
At that very moment, the figure struck the spot where he had been.
The ground instantly cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures spread outwards.
"Hiss!"
The soldiers stared, dumbfounded, at the changes in the ground.
A look of horror crept onto every one of their faces.
Terrifying.
Too terrifying.
Even after being bombarded by missiles for so long and enduring so many bullets, the power he unleashed still far exceeded their expectations.
It was also completely beyond the capabilities of the soldiers from various countries.
With such strength...
How could they possibly stop him?
On the Blue Star, aside from Ao Yuan, who else possessed such formidable power!
