At this sight.
All the creatures beneath Mount Taibai were utterly stunned.
Just moments ago, they hadn't sensed any presence at all.
And then...
A figure had vanished without a sound.
This alone was enough to demonstrate how powerful the colossal silhouette was.
What they feared even more, however, was what it had said.
The gods left behind on Blue Star.
If memory served correctly, Ao Yuan had just annihilated one.
With that.
As the figure was caught in the colossal silhouette's grasp, Ao Yuan also saw who it was.
This was Gao Xiong, the leader of Gaul!
"You say you know Poseidon's whereabouts?"
"I know, I know!" Gao Xiong nodded repeatedly, then pointed at Ao Yuan and roared, "It was him, it was him!"
"Poseidon was killed by him!"
Upon hearing this, the colossal silhouette's eyes widened in a glare as it looked at Ao Yuan, its voice a low rumble, "Is he speaking the truth?"
"Indeed!"
Ao Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Not just him."
"If you don't scram, you'll meet the same fate!"
Woosh!
This statement caused an uproar.
No one had expected Ao Yuan to still dare to speak so boastfully at this moment.
Though he was called the Dragon God.
Was he truly a deity?
Just thinking about it made it clear this was impossible.
And on the other side.
It was a genuine god.
After all, Poseidon!
He was a well-known deity on Blue Star. While it was true that Ao Yuan had killed Poseidon.
Any fool would understand that Poseidon had been on Blue Star for far too long.
And this newly emerged god, upon sensing the aura radiating from Ao Yuan, knew he was certainly different from Poseidon!
"Ah! How dare you kill my friend Poseidon!"
"Even if you are of the dragon race, you will surely die!"
As the colossal silhouette spoke, it extended its right hand to seize Ao Yuan.
Its massive palm blotted out the sky, as if capable of swallowing the sun and obscuring the clouds, carrying a peerless, ferocious might.
With every movement, it seemed to tear even the void apart.
"A god! This is a true god!"
"Ao Yuan is probably doomed now, isn't he?"
"How could he be so audacious to admit it!"
"This god was wary of Ao Yuan before, perhaps knowing Ao Yuan's strength was considerable."
"If he hadn't admitted it, Gao Xiong's words would have had no impact on him at all!"
Within Mount Taibai, the numerous creatures watched this scene, their emotions soaring.
Some were excited, some were merely watching, some were worried, and some were fearful.
Each had a different expression, the only similarity being that all their gazes were fixed on Ao Yuan.
As if wanting to understand how Ao Yuan would defend himself against this attack!
"Hmph!"
Just as the colossal hand was about to seize Ao Yuan, he let out a cold snort.
His body expanded, and in the blink of an eye, he grew to a hundred feet tall, standing tall in the void.
Ao Yuan flicked his sleeve, and spiritual energy surged forth.
Rumble!
Invisible spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave, forcefully blocking the colossal hand that the silhouette attacked with.
Rumble!
The void thundered like a clap of thunder. Two distinct pressures collided and canceled each other out.
The colossal silhouette's eyes widened, a flicker of surprise in its heart.
Earlier, it had underestimated Ao Yuan, only fearing his dragon heritage.
But it hadn't expected his strength to be so formidable.
While its attack was casual, Ao Yuan's display seemed equally so.
Moreover!
The strength of the dragon race lay not in their human form, but in their true bodies!
After the initial surprise, it quickly regained its composure.
Though Ao Yuan was strong, he was still somewhat inferior to it.
If it were another formidable opponent, it might have let it go.
But the dragon race was different.
The dragon race!
Their bodies were filled with treasures!
"I must say, you are a powerful being even among the dragon race."
"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't dare to attack you, but you must blame yourself for coming to Blue Star!"
"You will die!"
As the words fell.
Its body tensed slightly, and then it raised its long spear, thrusting it fiercely towards Ao Yuan.
Swish!
A sharp, incandescent arc flashed, and wherever it passed, even space was torn asunder.
If it were to strike Ao Yuan, it would likely pierce him through!
"Roar!"
Ao Yuan let out a cold hum, a dragon's roar echoing.
Instantly.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Waves of invisible sonic energy billowed out, like a tempestuous storm, surging towards the colossal silhouette.
Clang!
As the spear and Ao Yuan's dragon roar collided, a terrifying sound, like the clash of metal on metal, erupted.
The residual shockwaves blasted open the surrounding space.
Beneath, the creatures of Mount Taibai trembled.
Yet, they were all focused, suppressing their fear to witness the duel in the sky.
For them, this was a sight they might never see again in their lives.
And through the clash between Ao Yuan and this colossal silhouette, they could also learn a great deal.
"Not bad!"
Ao Yuan roared, advancing instead of retreating. With a raised eyebrow, his five fingers spread, emanating boundless might, and he lunged towards the silhouette.
This was his most treasured innate divine ability of the dragon race – Dragon God Claw!
The dragon claws shot out, reaching for the colossal silhouette's body, their sharpness engulfing the entire world.
Bang!
The dragon claws moved as fast as lightning, and in an instant, they struck the colossal silhouette's body.
Sizzle.
A sharp aura flashed, leaving an extremely conspicuous claw mark on the silhouette's body.
Blood streamed from its wounds, and each drop that fell stained the entire sea red.
"Hmph!"
"You think you can kill me with this single blow?"
"Ridiculous!"
The colossal silhouette's body shuddered, and a radiant surge of blood energy erupted, enveloping the wounded area.
In the blink of an eye.
Its body returned to normal, as if it had not suffered any injuries at all.
"Watch this!"
The colossal silhouette roared, raising its arm and swinging it.
The spear, radiating sharp energy, was hurled forward.
Bang bang bang!
The spear moved with incredible speed, reaching Ao Yuan in an instant.
"Weak Water!"
A divine light flashed in Ao Yuan's eyes, and he shouted out.
Buzz buzz buzz!
As spiritual energy bloomed, a thin mist of water rose before Ao Yuan, acting as a shield.
However.
Bang!
The spear struck the water mist, sending splashes of water rippling outwards.
Accompanied by a booming sound, the water mist exploded, scattering like raindrops onto the sea.
The spear, its momentum undiminished, pierced directly into Ao Yuan's body.
Gurgle!
Dragon blood spilled out, hot and vital. The spear, like a boomerang, flew back into the colossal silhouette's hand.
Ao Yuan looked at the spear in his body, his brow furrowed, his face paling slightly.
The damage inflicted by this blow.
Was far more terrifying than the damage he had inflicted on the colossal silhouette.
Because.
Ao Yuan discovered that the spear seemed to possess a corrosive property.
Even with his regenerative divine ability, he couldn't heal the wound immediately.
