180: Liberating Force

Zeus now only had one thought in his mind: "Impossible!"

The speed of lightning could rival light, and he had chosen the timing of his attack perfectly; Tang Sanzang should have had no chance to dodge it.

However, the Qi on his body showed no signs of weakening, which meant that the attack had missed!

But how could that be?

Zeus's hesitation lasted less than a second. He suddenly turned around and spat out another bolt of lightning. This time, he wanted to see with his own eyes the monk being struck, or how he managed to dodge this attack.

Boom!

The golden lightning, faster than human reaction speed, directly struck Tang Ku.

"Didn't dodge? Hmm, no, that's not right..."

Zeus's peripheral vision caught a fleeting shadow that was barely discernible to the naked eye. He casually threw a punch at an empty space beside him.

Boom!

Fists collided, once again unleashing a powerful shockwave, and Zeus immediately spotted Tang Ku's position.

"So that's it. You really did dodge it, with your absurdly strong physical constitution and explosive power, and that cloud beneath your feet!"

Zeus seemed to understand something and frowned slightly. "You are unexpectedly strong... Hmm, this is the first time I've encountered an opponent like you..."

The two almost simultaneously retracted their fists. Tang Ku smiled faintly and said, "I also need a powerful opponent to serve as a whetstone for me... Hmm, you haven't gone all out yet, have you? How about this, let's both hold nothing back and fight with all our strength. I believe, as a Titan, you must also be very warlike deep down!"

Zeus narrowed his eyes: "Very well, then it shall be as you wish... Actually, the bloodline of a Titan also possesses a talent for liberation. I used it once when I fought Cronus, but I haven't used it since. Coincidentally, meeting such a formidable opponent today is my honor..."

"Oh, that's great... Hmm, do I need to wait for you to transform?"

Tang Ku said indifferently.

"Heh heh, you seem very confident..." Zeus lightly stretched his limbs and said, "No need, this liberation doesn't require any warm-up time. Just attack!"

Tang Ku clenched his fist, a grim expression on his face, and said, "Is that so? Then I'm coming! This isn't the three-tenths power from before. I'm afraid this punch might kill you..."

"You're welcome to try..."

Before Zeus's words had even landed, Tang Ku had already transformed into a streak of light, appearing directly at the Titan's abdomen, delivering a punch to a spot above his navel.

"Ugh..."

With a slight frown, the spot where Zeus was hit suddenly swelled into a large lump, sending Tang Ku flying.

Immediately after, Zeus's large hand came slapping towards Tang Ku like swatting a fly. The wind pressure generated by merely waving his palm was enough to blow Tang Ku away.

"Oh, did his defense increase in that instant?"

In Tang Ku's vision, Zeus's defense stat instantly soared from thirty to 41 points.

Immediately after, as he threw another punch, Tang Ku raised his arms to block, and was instantly sent flying by the immense force. The opponent's strength had already changed from 29.9 points to 40.8.

"So that's it, it changes with the battle? This way of liberating power is really convenient!"

Tang Ku casually used the Heaven Shaking style of the Great Wilderness Divine Fist, employing the Illusory Void Force, to launch a series of attacks at Zeus, but they were all deftly dodged by the opponent's flexible body.

"How can such a large body be so agile?"

At this moment, his speed and agility had both soared, all reaching above 40 points.

Then, Zeus's hands suddenly clapped together, aimed at Tang Ku. A gust of wind instantly formed, quickly transforming into a powerful tornado, instantly sucking Tang Ku into it and tossing him around.

He finally managed to stabilize himself, only to find that the opponent's technique stat had also soared to over 40 points.

He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he now noticed that Zeus's body had actually shrunk by a size. And by the time his intelligence stat rose to 40.2, Zeus's entire body had already shrunk significantly. Although he was still a giant, overall his physique had become more slender, his highly bulging muscles had become streamlined, and even his face had become somewhat gaunt.

But at this moment, the Qi emanating from his body was far more terrifying than before.

At this, the three people below were all shocked.

The Bull Demon King couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So this freak didn't go all out when he fought me. So this is his true strength... All these years of my Cultivation have been for nothing!"

Shi Jingmo had now regained his ability to move. He slowly panted and said, "Don't be too self-deprecating. This guy, in another world, is a true Divine-Grade powerhouse, equivalent to the status of Buddha or Dao Monarch in this world. You just don't understand their power system, which is why you're at a disadvantage."

"Not entirely!"

The Bull Demon King watched as Tang Ku and Zeus were already fighting again, and said helplessly, "I need to find a way to Cultivate more and Breakthrough my current Bottleneck. Otherwise, if I keep encountering enemies like this in the future, I'm afraid I won't even have the courage to fight!"

Nezha watched the two fighting and nodded, deeply agreeing.

The sound of thunder rumbled in the sky, incessant. The entire weather seemed to change due to their battle. The sky, which had been clear moments ago, had gathered many black clouds, and these clouds rolled back and forth, completely unlike ordinary calm clouds. Lightning flickered faintly within the clouds, as if a downpour could come at any moment.

Tang Ku engaged in close combat with the giant, yet he didn't gain the slightest advantage.

He had completely underestimated that such a massive body could be as agile as an ordinary one, and the opponent's attacks were varied and unpredictable. It was clear he had put effort into his fighting techniques, far surpassing Hades and Poseidon from before.

Moreover... Tang Ku snatched a glance at the sky, frowned slightly, and then said indifferently: "So that's it, you can also control natural elements? The power of lightning has been brewing for so long, aren't you going to strike?"

"Oh, you've already figured it out?"

Zeus suddenly raised his right index finger, pointed at the sky, and said, "Then as you wish!"

Boom! Boom boom boom boom... It was as if a large squadron of bombers had swept across the sky. Countless bolts of lightning tore through the heavens, like innumerable cannonballs, accurately striking Tang Ku's body... The thunderclaps in mid-air enveloped Tang Ku, and in an instant, his position became the brightest spot in the sky, as dazzling as the sun.

"...Hmm, the power is very strong, probably capable of destroying cities and nations... But this can't hurt me!"

Although Tang Ku felt his body go numb and his monk's robes turned scorched black amidst the crackling sounds, he didn't feel that this could harm him in the slightest.

"The power of lightning, the power of nature, can only serve as an aid. The true foundation is the power of one's own physical body!"

Zeus suddenly appeared behind Tang Ku, concentrating a burst of power in his right index finger, and poked Tang Ku, "You should be unable to move now!"
