"Is that so?" Facing Wu Tian's statement, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor remained unfazed, neither surprised nor angered, not taking it to heart at all.
To him, Wu Tian's actions were no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Who would care about the life or death of an ant?
Wu Tian, too lazy to waste more words with the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, immediately his expression darkened, and he angrily declared, "Since that is the case, let us begin!"
After uttering these words, Wu Tian took a step forward.
He clenched his palm tightly, and golden lightning immediately erupted from the Thunder God Scepter.
Then, the lightning roared and transformed into a colossal dragon of lightning, its fangs bared and claws extended, charging towards the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.
"A mere parlor trick."
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor smiled faintly, then flicked a finger. Demonic energy surged forth, rapidly forming several massive black demonic chains that instantly coiled around the lightning dragon, then squeezed with immense force.
Amidst a fierce roar, the majestic dragon was utterly annihilated!
"Since you are so eager to court death, I shall indulge you for a while."
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's figure shot out in an instant. With a casual sweep of his hand, a dark demonic palm descended from the heavens, striking fiercely at Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's immortal energy circulated rapidly. With a long cry, brilliant golden light burst forth from his body.
For a moment, the entire sky was bathed in a magnificent golden hue.
In a trance, even Wu Tian's true form seemed to transform into a true dragon!
Boom!
Wu Tian clenched his five fingers and unleashed a punch!
Roar!
A world-shattering dragon's roar reverberated through the wilderness, and the seemingly tangible fist wind, as if piercing through space, directly shattered the demonic palm.
Dong!
In the sky, terrifying energy fluctuations surged like a tempestuous tide, causing the space for thousands of miles around to distort.
The Twelve Heavenly Venerates in the distance, barely fending off the fluctuations, said with pale faces, "Can Sect Master Wu truly hold on?!"
Even though in their hearts, Wu Tian had always been a man who created miracles, as if there was nothing he couldn't accomplish.
But now it was different. The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's strength had surpassed their comprehension.
Therefore, even with Wu Tian's intervention, they remained uneasy, feeling a sense of inferiority and self-doubt.
High above the nine heavens, vast immortal energy fluctuations continued to spread outwards like an endless ocean.
Wu Tian stood with his feet on the void, surrounded by astonishing wind and thunder. His dark eyes blazed with a sharp intensity as he fixed his gaze on the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor before him.
At this very moment, surging demonic energy also erupted from the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, as if intending to devour everything.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor maintained his calm smile and nodded at Wu Tian, saying, "Your strength is not bad. If you were one of my clan's Demon Emperors, your status would only be second to mine."
"Such an honor, even the Ten Great Immortal Kings of ancient times could not attain. You should feel proud."
Hearing this, Wu Tian let out a cold laugh, and within that laughter, a hint of ferocity emerged.
He offered no reply, merely gripping the Thunder God Scepter tightly. Brilliant golden light erupted from his body, and his physique seemed to swell by a circumference.
Roar!
A thunderous dragon's roar echoed, and wind and thunder howled around him. Within the violent tempest, energy capable of shaking the heavens and earth seemed to be contained.
His body continued to expand, his skin gradually transforming from golden to a purplish-gold, exuding an aura of magnificence.
Vaguely, dragon scales of the same color seemed to grow on his body.
These dragon scales were as hard as iron, opening and closing with Wu Tian's every breath. The sound of their collision was like the clash of swords.
Wu Tian extended the Thunder God Scepter, and instantly, the purplish-gold dragon scales spread up his arm and onto the scepter!
The Thunder God Scepter began to change at a visible rate, gradually transforming into a dragon-headed scepter!
The dragon head at the top of the scepter had eyes filled with fierce lightning, exuding the aura of a sacred dragon, inspiring an urge to kneel!
Wu Tian stood with his feet on the void, the dragon-headed scepter in his hand, his internal energy surging like a raging river.
This energy was so fierce that it compelled him to let out a long cry.
And within that cry, thunder rumbled, almost deafening the ears.
This was the first time he had fully unleashed his energy since ascending to the Four Spirit Immortal King.
The sheer, robust fullness of it made him feel as if a single punch could shatter the firmament!
His heated eyes were filled with killing intent, burning intensely at the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, as if he intended to incinerate him with his gaze.
Yet, under such fierce energy, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor showed little reaction.
He merely smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, with your strength, you can barely contend with a Five Spirit Immortal King."
"Someone like you, if you had lived in ancient times, would have been quite a troublesome presence for our demon army."
Wu Tian coldly stated, "Rest assured, even now, I will not make things easy for you."
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor chuckled, "Very well, then I shall use only half my strength to fight you."
"I hope you can last a little longer, don't let this amusement end so quickly, otherwise it will be too boring."
After saying this, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor slowly lowered his hands, and within his palms, dense demonic energy writhed like venomous snakes.
The black energy coiled up his arms, instantly turning them as black as refined iron.
Undoubtedly, he had transformed his hands into weapons!
No killing intent flowed from the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, yet in a fraction of a second, his figure vanished from its spot and reappeared swiftly behind Wu Tian.
Boom!
His fist, cloaked in demonic energy, struck Wu Tian's back. A torrent of demonic energy immediately surged forth.
Just as everyone trembled in fear, they suddenly realized that Wu Tian seemed unaffected. Instead, his figure slowly faded into the void.
"An illusion?"
"Not bad, you do possess some skill." A smile touched the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's lips, then he spun sharply and unleashed another punch!
Another deafening roar reverberated through the air. The purplish-gold dragon-headed scepter, carrying immense power, fiercely collided with the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's fist.
The colossal energy waves immediately spread out like wind sweeping through clouds, causing the surrounding space to collapse!
"Good reaction." The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor chuckled, "Otherwise, you would have been dead by now."
