When Zhu Ziyang saw the burly man named Niu Tian display god-level strength, he immediately understood who the "he" Niu Tian referred to was. A complex expression rose on Zhu Ziyang's face—three parts anger, three parts doubt, three parts helplessness, and one part relief. Since the enemy was always the same 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 shifting from shock to doubt and disbelief. Clearly, Zhu Ziyang's words had a significant impact on her, but he had no time to explain to her at that moment.
"…" In response to Zhu Ziyang's question, Niu Tian didn't answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he said, "Your existence obstructs his grand plan, so you must die."
"Oh!" Zhu Ziyang gave a bitter smile upon hearing this and said, "So that's how it is. It seems there's no room for negotiation."
"To the afterlife with you!" Niu Tian's face remained expressionless. With a wave of his hand, a cyan energy wave surged toward Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao.
"Xiaotao sister, give it your all!" Zhu Ziyang immediately pulled Ma Xiaotao upward, dodging the energy wave Niu Tian casually unleashed, and quickly said to her, "We'll talk about other things later!"
"Understood!" Ma Xiaotao responded decisively. She was always resolute, especially in battle. Nine soul rings appeared, and crimson phoenix wings extended from her back. Then, her seventh soul ring flashed, transforming her into a divine bird with a wingspan exceeding fifty meters. Golden-red flames erupted from her exquisite beak, forming small fiery birds that charged toward Niu Tian.
Zhu Ziyang didn't idle either. While summoning his martial soul, he waved his hand, and the four soul spirits—Snow, Ice, Frost, and Dew—appeared simultaneously. Five otherworldly powerhouses, including Kou Mako and Roger, descended from the Sacred Law Demiplane. Facing a god-level powerhouse, Zhu Ziyang harbored no trace of underestimation.
As nine powerhouses comparable to Super Douluo appeared and joined the battlefield to surround Niu Tian, Zhu Ziyang, wielding the Ice Dragon King Wings, held a scythe in one hand and a spear in the other, diving into the fight.
Niu Tian was surprised by the sudden appearance of nine powerhouses, but only mildly so. In his view, no matter how many opponents came, it was futile. Below god-level, all were mere ants—this was no empty phrase.
"Roar!" Niu Tian let out a thunderous shout, and a burst of cyan light erupted from his body, sweeping over everyone. Instantly, Zhu Ziyang and the others found their movements slowed significantly, while Niu Tian remained unaffected. It was clear this was the effect of the cyan light he had unleashed.
"Everyone, be careful!" Zhu Ziyang warned. With a flap of his Ice Dragon King Wings, he felt the sluggishness vanish. Seizing the moment before Niu Tian noticed, he hurled the Ice Dragon King Spear, its light flashing. The spear moved at incredible speed, as if piercing through space, appearing instantly before Niu Tian's head, its sharp aura aimed directly at his forehead, as if it could pierce his skull the next moment. However, Niu Tian simply raised a hand, firmly grasping the spear's tip, then crushed it with a single grip.
The attack's failure didn't disappoint Zhu Ziyang. On the contrary, it deepened his understanding of a god-level being's power. The strength to effortlessly shatter the Ice Dragon King Spear was indeed beyond mortal limits.
"You can negate the effects of my Slow Domain. You truly cannot be spared!" Niu Tian was astonished that a mere Titled Douluo could ignore his Slow Domain's effects. No wonder he had drawn the attention of the one above.
"Hmph!" Zhu Ziyang snorted coldly. With a thought, the Ice Dragon King Spear reappeared in his hand. The World-Purifying Life-Reaping Scythe slashed diagonally forward, and countless meteors fell from the sky, each carrying a holy and cleansing aura.
Facing Zhu Ziyang's attack, Niu Tian was unfazed. With a wave of his hands, cyan thunderbolts descended from the sky, colliding with the radiant meteor shower, neutralizing the attack completely.
"Ice-Snow Freezing Domain!" At that moment, the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor launched a combined attack, unleashing their strongest move. The fusion technique of an 800,000-year ferocious beast and a 400,000-year beast was so powerful it caused a celestial phenomenon. The clear sky turned overcast, snowflakes began to fall, and amid them, a faintly visible, stunningly beautiful figure appeared. She extended a delicate jade hand, her fingers slowly pointing toward Niu Tian.
Though her movement was gentle, it caught Niu Tian's attention. His face showed shock, as if witnessing something utterly absurd. "Snow Emperor! Ice Emperor!"
Only then did he realize that the Emperor and King of the Far North were among Zhu Ziyang's allies. How could this be? The Snow and Ice Emperors were known for their pride—how could they submit to a human? It was utterly ridiculous!
Though shocked, Niu Tian took the Snow and Ice Emperors' combined attack seriously. He knew well the power of their fusion technique. Even as a god-level being, his past instincts as a soul beast still influenced him.
Niu Tian clasped his hands before his chest, his eyes flashing with cyan light. A cyan divine dragon appeared between his hands, carrying surging lightning as it fearlessly met the jade finger.
"Boom!" The dragon and finger collided, producing a terrifying shockwave that leveled the surrounding land by a significant margin. This was merely the aftermath. Niu Tian's body swayed slightly, taking half a step back, while the Snow and Ice Emperors were thrown back over ten meters, barely stabilizing themselves with each other's help. Their faces were pale, their auras unstable, clearly suffering from significant backlash.
Though the Snow and Ice Emperors' attack failed, the others were elated. On the surface, the Emperors had lost, but Niu Tian had been affected, as seen from his slight sway and retreat. This meant a god-level powerhouse wasn't invincible—they had a chance to defeat him.
Thus, after the Snow and Ice Emperors were repelled, a violent dragon-shaped energy wave and a fierce phoenix flame attacked Niu Tian from both sides. The dragon energy came from Frost II's Silver Dragon Breath, while the phoenix flame was naturally Ma Xiaotao's attack.
Niu Tian faced their attacks head-on, spreading his hands to catch them. The dragon breath and phoenix flame collided and dissipated, causing him no harm.
"God's Descent: Holy Sword!"
"Sanctum Radiance Slash!"
"Blazing Dragon Shocks the Heavens!"
"Thunder God's Hammer!"
"Asura Ninefold Technique!"
The five otherworldly powerhouses simultaneously attacked Niu Tian, each unleashing their strongest move. Facing five unfamiliar techniques, Niu Tian's curiosity was piqued, and he set aside his nonchalance. One hand caught the radiant Holy Sword, the other blocked Kou Mako's Sanctum Radiance Slash.
However, he couldn't easily counter the attacks of Fire Dragon Olivier, Behemoth Beast Behemothan, and War Goddess Zhang Weiwei. Olivier, dragging his massive body wreathed in roaring flames, plummeted from the sky like a giant fiery meteor, awe-inspiring. Behemothan wielded a massive hammer crackling with thunder, smashing toward Niu Tian's head. Zhang Weiwei's attack was simpler—she swung a greatsword imbued with blood-red killing intent, relentlessly slashing at Niu Tian.
"Annoying!" Niu Tian grew impatient under the relentless attacks, realizing he could no longer hold back. With a powerful push, he repelled Kou Mako, Zhang Weiwei, and the others. Then, with a dragon's roar, his body glowed cyan and vanished.
When he reappeared, he had transformed into a nearly hundred-meter-long cyan dragon, surrounded by cyan light. Those nearby felt dizzy and their movements restricted. The dragon's head was neither fully dragon nor bull, strangely unique—it was clearly Niu Tian's true form, the Heavenly Cyan Dragon!
"Roar!" The Heavenly Cyan Dragon let out a roar, gathering a cyan energy wave in its mouth. The next moment, it unleashed it toward Kou Mako and the others, eliciting screams and wails.
Kou Mako and Behemothan were directly hit by the dragon's breath, suffering severe injuries. Olivier's wings were damaged, robbing him of flight. Only the sharp-witted Zhang Weiwei and the slightly distant Roger escaped, gasping heavily with expressions of relief and horror.
With Niu Tian unleashing his full power and revealing his Heavenly Cyan Dragon form, the battlefield's pressure multiplied. Both Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao felt their soul power draining rapidly.
The battle seemed to be heading toward its inevitable conclusion.
