When Zhu Ziyang saw the brawny man named Niu Tian display his god-level strength, he understood who the "he" Niu Tian spoke of was.
A complex expression rose on Zhu Ziyang's face: three parts anger, three parts confusion, three parts helplessness, and one part relief.
Since the enemy was always one person, there was nothing to worry about.
"Actually, I'm very curious, why does the Sea God want to kill the two of us?" Zhu Ziyang asked.
Hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, Ma Xiaotao was stunned, her expression changing from shock to confusion and disbelief.
Clearly, Zhu Ziyang's words had a great impact on her, but Zhu Ziyang had no time to explain to her at this moment.
"..." Niu Tian did not answer Zhu Ziyang's question immediately.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Your existence hinders his grand plan, so you must die."
"Ah!" Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but force a bitter smile upon hearing this, saying, "So that's how it is.
It seems there's no room for maneuver then."
"Be on your way!" Niu Tian was expressionless, and with a raise of his hand, a wave of azure energy struck towards Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao.
"Sister Xiaotao, let's go all out!" Zhu Ziyang immediately pulled Ma Xiaotao upwards, dodging the energy wave Niu Tian casually unleashed, and quickly said to Ma Xiaotao, "Other matters, we'll discuss later!"
"Understood!" Ma Xiaotao immediately replied.
She had always been a decisive person, especially in combat.
Nine spirit rings appeared, and crimson phoenix wings extended from her delicate back.
Immediately after, her seventh spirit ring flashed, and she instantly transformed into a divine bird with a wingspan exceeding fifty meters.
Crimson-gold flames spewed from her exquisite beak, turning into small firebirds that charged towards Niu Tian.
Zhu Ziyang was not idle either; while summoning his Spirit, he waved his hand, and the four Soul Spirits, Snow Ice Frost Dew, appeared simultaneously.
Kou Marko, Rogier, and five other powerful experts from the Saint Law Demiplane also descended.
Facing a god-level expert, Zhu Ziyang had no intention of underestimating him.
As soon as the nine powerhouses, comparable to Super Douluo, appeared, they immediately joined the battlefield and began to besiege Niu Tian.
Zhu Ziyang, meanwhile, flapped the Ice Dragon King Wings behind him, holding a scythe in one hand and a spear in the other, entering the battle simultaneously.
Niu Tian was very surprised by the sudden appearance of nine additional powerhouses, but it was only surprise.
In his opinion, no matter how many more people came, it would be useless.
Below the god-level, all are ants; this was not an empty statement.
"Roar!" Niu Tian let out a roar, and a burst of azure light erupted from his body, sweeping over everyone.
Immediately, Zhu Ziyang and the others noticed that their movements had become much slower, while Niu Tian remained completely unaffected.
They instantly realized this was caused by the azure light Niu Tian had just unleashed.
"Everyone, be careful!" Zhu Ziyang reminded them.
The Ice Dragon King Wings behind him vibrated, and immediately, he felt the sluggishness he was experiencing disappear.
A surge of joy filled his heart, and before Niu Tian could notice, the Ice Dragon King Spear in his hand flashed with light and was immediately thrown out.
The Ice Dragon King Spear was incredibly fast, as if it had torn through space, appearing instantly before Niu Tian's head.
Its sharp aura pressed directly on his forehead, as if the spear tip could pierce Niu Tian's head in the next moment.
However, Niu Tian merely raised a hand and firmly grasped the spear tip of the Ice Dragon King Spear, then squeezed it hard, and the Ice Dragon King Spear shattered instantly.
Zhu Ziyang felt no regret that his attack failed; on the contrary, he gained a deeper understanding of the power of a god-level.
Such power, capable of easily crushing the Ice Dragon King Spear, had indeed surpassed the limits of the mortal world.
"To be able to negate the effects of my Slowness Domain, I truly cannot let you live!" Niu Tian was also very surprised.
A mere Titled Douluo could actually ignore the effects of his Slowness Domain; no wonder he could arouse the apprehension of the one above.
"Hmph!" Zhu Ziyang snorted coldly, and with a thought, the Ice Dragon King Spear reappeared in his hand.
The Pacifying Life-Reaping Scythe slashed forward fiercely, and countless meteors immediately fell from the sky.
Each meteor carried a vast and sacred aura that cleansed the mortal world.
Facing Zhu Ziyang's attack, Niu Tian was unconcerned.
With a wave of his hands, streaks of azure lightning immediately descended from the sky.
These azure lightning bolts collided with the bright meteor shower, and the meteor's offensive was instantly neutralized.
"Ice and Snow Freezing Domain!" At this moment, the Snow Empress and Ice Empress launched a combined attack.
They unleashed their strongest blow, a Spirit Beast fusion skill of an 800,000-year fierce beast and a 400,000-year fierce beast.
The immense power directly caused a celestial phenomenon; the previously clear sky suddenly darkened, and snowflakes began to fall in the air.
Within the snowflakes, a peerless figure appeared faintly.
She extended a slender hand, and her delicate finger slowly pointed towards Niu Tian.
Although the movement of the delicate finger was extremely gentle, it still successfully drew Niu Tian's attention.
His face showed bewilderment, as if he had seen something particularly absurd, "Snow Empress! Ice Empress!"
Only then did he realize that the former Emperor and King of the Extremely North Land were also among Zhu Ziyang's foreign aid.
How was this possible?
The Ice and Snow Empresses were known for their arrogance; how could they submit to a human?
This was simply too preposterous!
However, despite his immense bewilderment, Niu Tian treated the combined attack of the Ice and Snow Empresses with great seriousness.
He was very aware of the power of the Ice and Snow Empresses' combined skill.
Even though he was now a god-level existence, his former habits as a Spirit Beast still influenced his actions.
Niu Tian clasped his hands in front of his chest, azure light flickering in his eyes.
An azure divine dragon appeared between his hands.
The divine dragon, carrying surging lightning, bravely met the delicate finger.
"Bang!" The divine dragon and the delicate finger collided, immediately producing terrifying aftershocks.
The surrounding land was lowered by a large margin by this aftershock, and this was only the aftershock.
As for the actual combatants, Niu Tian's body swayed slightly, and he retreated half a step, while the Snow Empress and Ice Empress were sent flying back more than ten meters.
Only with mutual assistance did they barely manage to stop themselves.
Both their faces were extremely pale, and their aura was turbulent and unstable, clearly having suffered a considerable backlash.
However, although the attack of the Ice and Snow Empresses failed, the others showed surprise.
On the surface, the Ice and Snow Empresses lost, but Niu Tian was not unaffected, as could be seen from his swaying body and retreating steps.
This meant that god-level powerhouses were not invincible, and their group had a chance to defeat this god-level powerhouse.
Thus, after the Ice and Snow Empresses were repelled, another tyrannical dragon-shaped energy wave and a powerful phoenix flame, one from the left and one from the right, simultaneously pounced on Niu Tian.
The dragon-shaped energy came from Second Shuang; this was her Silver Dragon Breath, and the phoenix flame was naturally Ma Xiaotao's attack.
Facing the attacks of the two, Niu Tian directly opened his hands, one left and one right, embracing them.
The dragon breath and phoenix flame then collided, but did not cause him any harm.
"Divine Descent: Holy Sword!"
"Sanctuary Sun Slash!"
"Blazing Dragon Shakes the Heavens!"
"Hammer of Thor!"
"Asura Nine Consecutive Strikes!"
The five otherworld powerhouses also simultaneously launched attacks on Niu Tian, each unleashing their strongest blow.
Facing five unique moves he had never seen before, Niu Tian, while curious, also put away his complacency.
He caught the magnificent Holy Sword condensed from light with one hand, and Kou Marko's Sanctuary Sun Slash with the other.
However, the attacks from the fire dragon Olivier, the Beimonstan, and the War Goddess Zhang Weiwei were not so easy for him to block.
The fire dragon Olivier, dragging its massive body, was engulfed in raging flames, plummeting from high in the sky like a giant fiery meteor, an awe-inspiring sight.
The Beimonstan, wielding a giant hammer wreathed in immense lightning, smashed it towards Niu Tian's head.
The War Goddess Zhang Weiwei's attack was much simpler; she wielded a greatsword shimmering with a bloody aura of slaughter, continuously slashing at Niu Tian.
"Annoying!" Niu Tian was somewhat impatient.
The continuous attacks put him on the defensive.
He understood that he couldn't play around anymore and had to get serious.
So, he forcefully pushed with both hands, sending Kou Marko, Zhang Weiwei, and others who were close to him flying.
Immediately after, he let out a dragon roar, and his whole body glowed with azure light, then he vanished.
When he reappeared, he had transformed into an azure giant dragon nearly a hundred meters long.
Azure light surrounded the giant dragon's body.
The few people close to it felt a wave of dizziness, followed by difficulty in movement.
The giant dragon's head was neither fully dragon nor fully ox, appearing quite bizarre.
This was clearly Niu Tian's true form, the Azure Dragon!
"Roar!" The Azure Dragon let out a dragon roar, and then an azure energy wave accumulated, erupting in the next second and pouring onto the five individuals, Kou Marko, immediately followed by screams and wails.
Kou Marko and Beimonstan were directly hit by the Azure Dragon's breath and severely injured.
Olivier's wings were damaged, causing him to lose the ability to fly.
Only the instinctively sharp Zhang Weiwei and the slightly more distant Rogier escaped unscathed, gasping for breath from afar, their faces filled with relief and horror.
With Niu Tian unleashing his full power and the Azure Dragon's true form appearing, the battlefield pressure instantly increased severalfold.
Both Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao clearly felt their spirit power rapidly depleting.
The battlefield situation seemed to be heading towards the normal outcome.
