"Zeus …"
Yang Cheng's heart sank. That earth-shattering shockwave was unleashed by Zeus!?
Just then, on the crown of the Tree of Earth, a ten-feet-long golden-blue lightning flashed across the sky, as if it was condensed from the void. It tore apart the large number of thunderclouds that Yang Cheng had condensed, and floated there strangely.
A thick arm broke through the clouds and grabbed the bolt of lightning. The lightning did not harm it at all. Instead, it seemed to be jumping with joy like a golden-blue flame.
As the dark clouds dispersed, a tall and sturdy figure that was over five feet tall appeared in the vast sky!
He had silver-white long hair and a silver-white beard that danced in the wind. His face was resolute, and his cheeks were angular like a boulder.
A pair of eyes that flickered with silvery-white lightning were like two glaring lights that would never be extinguished, constantly flickering with lightning.
He was only wearing a white short-sleeved robe. His muscular arms were exposed to the air, and his rock-like muscles revealed a bronze luster.
Yang Cheng stared blankly at the statue that looked like a statue carved by the ancients. He could not help but recall some vague memories left by the previous Hades …
Zeus, the Heavenly King who was looking down at him as if he was trampling over the heavens and earth, didn't seem to have changed at all. He was the same as he was twenty thousand years ago!?
How was this possible!?
All the other Main Gods had already lost their original bodies when they first came to Earth. They had reincarnated and occupied various human bodies.
But this Zeus had been in the formation for 20,000 years, and yet he still retained his body?!
Could it be that there was some special reason in the Fiendgod Formation that allowed his body to be indestructible? At least for now, this was indeed his original appearance!
Without waiting for Yang Cheng to ponder, Zeus announced in a booming voice, "You have inherited the godhood of Hades, but you have become an enemy of the God Race. You are a traitor. You do not deserve to have the godhood of Hades, and you do not deserve to be a member of the God Race. Today, the lightning in my hand will take your life!"
With that, Zeus raised his majestic arm high and surrendered the thunderbolt in his hand to Yang Cheng without any fancy moves!
When the other gods saw this scene, some of them couldn't bear to watch, while others were gloating and overjoyed.
It seemed that as long as Zeus made a move, they didn't think that Yang Cheng would have a chance to continue acting violently.
Yang Cheng's speed was extremely fast. Even though it was Zeus' lightning bolt, it couldn't escape his line of sight. Almost at the instant the lightning bolt struck, Yang Cheng had already begun to dodge.
However, just as Yang Cheng leaped into the air and thought that he had dodged it, he was struck by lightning!
"Boom!!!"
Yang Cheng couldn't believe it. He didn't know what was going on, but the lightning bolt had suddenly pierced through space and struck him!
It was as if the lightning knew that he was going to escape, so it changed its original trajectory and appeared in another place without any warning!
His entire body felt as if it was being burned by a temperature of several thousand degrees. His internal organs began to tremble and twist, and he let out a miserable howl from his dry throat!
Even having his flesh minced by Athena's Spear of Palas wasn't as this pain that came from the depths of his bones!
"Ah!! — — "
Yang Cheng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This was the first time he experienced just how painful the power of lightning was!
It was as if he had been completely scorched. Numbness and pain coexisted, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he would rather die than live!
Zeus' strength was comparable to Athena's, which meant that his lightning was at least as powerful as a Jade Clear cultivator's full strength.
With Yang Cheng's cultivation, it was already a miracle that he didn't die. However, it would be much more difficult for him to recover from his physical injuries.
After all, Athena's attack only dealt a localized injury, but Zeus' lightning enveloped his entire body!
"Athena, what are you hesitating for? My lightning will make it impossible for him to hide. Use your Spear of Palas to pierce his heart and behead him! "
Zeus looked down at Yang Chen who couldn't move, and said to Athena who didn't move at all.
Athena tightened her grip on her spear and paused for a moment before saying coldly, "I don't need you to teach me."
Seeing that Athena and Zeus were about to give him a fatal blow, the unwillingness in Yang Cheng's heart had reached its peak!
When he came here, he didn't plan to return alive. However … he definitely wouldn't be defeated so easily!!
"You want to kill me …? It's too early!"
Yang Cheng panted and revealed a maniacal smile. Enduring the pain in his body, he once again gathered the thunderclouds around him and twisted the Shang Qing Heavenly Lightning into a shield. He raised Pangu's Axe and rushed towards Zeus!
However, it wasn't that easy to get close to Zeus.
Athena had already predicted Yang Cheng's attack trajectory and blocked Yang Cheng's path with the Aegis Shield!
"Bang!!"
The Shang Qing Heavenly Lightning collided with the silver shield and created intense sparks.
Athena quickly retracted her giant shield, but Yang Chen was greeted by Zeus's lightning bolts!
"Rumble!! — — "
Another golden-blue lightning struck. With Yang Cheng's Shang Qing Heavenly Lightning partially neutralized, it hit Yang Cheng's body!
Yang Cheng's body started to emit the stench of burnt flesh. His throat was dry as he fell like a meteor!
Yang Cheng laughed bitterly in his heart …
Zeus' lightning was indeed as powerful as the legends said. It could make it impossible for the target to hide.
This lightning could instantly lock on to its target and move from a parallel space. No matter how one dodged, as long as one was in the space, the lightning would hit and would not disappear until it hit.
Yang Chen didn't know how to dodge or how to attack with the lightning that had a hundred percent accuracy, and Athena's ability to predict and defend …
Just now, he might have been able to attack the Tree of Earth. But now, he couldn't even protect himself. The lightning was too lethal.
No wonder Zeus and Athena were on par with each other among the gods.
One was the strongest defense, while the other was the strongest offense. They might not be able to hit the other first, but Yang Cheng didn't have Athena's Great Prophecy Spell, so he couldn't keep dodging.
"Don't tell me you want it to end like this …"
Athena's cold voice rang in Yang Cheng's ears, with a trace of unexplainable emotion.
Yang Chen, who was still falling, struggled to turn his head.
Athena was falling with him rapidly, holding a spear. She was hanging high beside him, ready to stab into his chest …
Bruised and swollen, Yang Cheng grinned. "How could I … I won't die so easily …"
"Is that so …"
Athena's expression was frighteningly calm, but her hands didn't stop moving.
"Pfft!!"
Pallas' spear was like a demonic blue light beam, piercing into Yang Cheng's chest!
But it didn't penetrate as the gods had expected!
Yang Chen's hands had unknowingly gripped the spear's head tightly. Despite the fact that half of the spear had already pierced into his body and was only a hair's breadth away from piercing his heart, he didn't seem to care at all.
Fresh blood flowed from Yang Cheng's hands and chest, splattering everywhere.
"I've finally caught you …" Yang Cheng grinned, revealing his blood-red teeth like a devil laughing maniacally. "Your spear is in my hands, don't even think of taking it back."
"Is that so?" Athena asked calmly.
The next moment, Athena's snow-white foot ruthlessly kicked Yang Cheng's cheek!
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out, and Yang Cheng felt the world spin around him. His head felt like it was being twisted 360 degrees, and he unconsciously loosened his grip on Athena's body, causing him to fall even faster!
All the gods saw was Yang Cheng's body smashing into a glacier, sinking several hundred meters before being buried in the depths of the glacier!
Athena put away her blood-stained spear and stared into the depths of the ice, murmuring, "You … won't be able to defeat us in this state."
Lightning in hand, Zeus slowly descended, frowning. "His divinity is rapidly disappearing."
The other gods descended at the same time, all of them sensing that Yang Cheng's divinity was extinguishing at an unimaginable speed!
It was like an oil lamp that was about to burn out, its light growing dimmer and dimmer.
Venus' eyes were already filled with tears, "Hades … You really killed him …"
"No, Aphrodite," Apollo said with a strange expression. Apollo said with a strange look on his face, "Feel it carefully. Although his Godhead is disappearing, his True Essence pressure …"
"It's getting stronger!" Hera said with a gloomy expression, "That traitor! He's using chaos to devour Hades' divinity! "
"What?!" The other gods suddenly came to their senses and shouted in shock.
Zeus glanced at Athena, who was beside him, and said, "Is this his other trump card?"
Athena did not nod, nor did she deny it. Clearly, she tacitly agreed.
At this moment, the deathly still glacier began to shake violently. Following that, a surging shockwave was released from the inside out!
The earth-shattering power caused huge chunks of ice to be blasted hundreds of meters into the sky.
Yang Cheng's figure appeared in front of the gods, unharmed, as if he had never been injured.
However, this time, the gods could no longer feel any sense of familiarity from Yang Cheng. Hades' divinity had completely disappeared.
The man before them had completely become a cultivator from Earth with unfathomable cultivation!
