"Demon Blood Annihilation Spear!"
"Celestial Ox Holy Water Strike!"
Two furious roars echoed through the sky, and at the same time, blood-red and blue lights transformed into meteors, streaking towards each other at extreme speed.
In a mere instant, an explosion like a collapsing mountain range rapidly engulfed the entire sky, akin to colossal waves crashing against the shore.
This upheaval was no small matter; the intense shockwave directly plunged downwards, threatening to uproot the entire land.
"Not good!" Wu Tian's expression changed, and he quickly rushed to the Nirvana Platform, exerting all his strength to protect it.
Within seconds, the shockwave, like divine retribution, covered the entire land.
Instantly, fierce winds and thunderous explosions erupted across the ground, with every area swept by the shockwave suffering violent detonations.
The earth was churned and overturned, and everything that existed on the surface was swept into it, subjected to a terrifying shredding.
Great Golden Immortals and Demon Emperors of lesser strength directly dissolved into mist, utterly incapable of resistance!
It was unclear how long this terrifying commotion lasted before it finally subsided.
The turmoil throughout the Spirit Beast Realm gradually calmed down.
With Wu Tian's strength, he was naturally able to survive this upheaval.
However, he harbored no sense of complacency and instead anxiously looked towards the sky.
He knew in his heart that this was Ashura's final gambit.
The outcome of this great battle would directly determine the future of the entire Spirit Beast Realm!
Then, as his gaze just reached the high heavens, Wu Tian's pupils involuntarily constricted fiercely!
He saw a colossal figure plummeting from the sky.
With a deafening roar, a minor earthquake was triggered within a radius of a hundred li.
After the dense dust dispersed, the colossal figure vanished, replaced by Ashura's form!
"It's over..." Wu Tian's face turned ashen in an instant.
Despite having no good feelings towards Ashura, Ashura was, after all, their hope.
Yet now, even a powerful expert like Ashura had been utterly defeated. Who else could come to the rescue?
The surviving Spirit Beast tribesmen were also taken aback by how dire the situation had become. Everyone's faces turned extremely grim, with deep fear surfacing in their eyes.
Blood Heaven Demon Emperor remained standing in the sky, seemingly unharmed.
His face was filled with a mocking smile, his laughter almost reaching across the entire world: "Hahaha, Ashura, you truly are a foolish ox."
"I've already told you, you are no match for me, yet why did you insist on not believing it?"
"Now that you can't even maintain your true form, how do you intend to fight me!"
Ashura lay on the ground, covered in blood, his consciousness blurred.
In this state, he had completely lost his fighting ability. To have survived was already a stroke of immense luck.
Blood Heaven Demon Emperor continued, "I overestimated your strength. If I had known you had only improved this much, I wouldn't have hidden for so long."
"Had I emerged earlier, your Spirit Beast Realm would have been completely occupied by our demon race by now!"
Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's voice reached everyone's ears, filling them with both fear and anger.
How they wished they could rush forward and settle scores with Blood Heaven Demon Emperor, but with even an expert like Ashura defeated, what use would their intervention be?
The more they thought about it, the more despairing they became.
They believed everything was lost. From this day forward, the Spirit Beast Realm would cease to exist in the world, and they themselves would all perish here!
An oppressive aura enveloped the entire land, and this atmosphere brought Blood Heaven Demon Emperor great pleasure.
He chuckled and said, "What's wrong, have you already lost the will to fight?"
"Your Spirit Beast tribe always boasts of being a formidable race, but in reality, you are nothing more than this."
"You will ultimately submit to the holy might of the demon race, and now, open your eyes wide and watch how this foolish ox is executed by me!"
Blood Heaven Demon Emperor casually condensed a blood sphere and hurled it directly at Ashura.
While this blood sphere was not a particularly powerful technique, in Ashura's current weakened state, being hit by it would essentially mean certain death.
The spirit beasts wanted to rush forward to block it, but they were held back by the Demon Emperors, and their own hearts were filled with dread, so for a moment, no one made a move.
Just as everyone thought Ashura was about to perish, suddenly, a streak of lightning appeared before Ashura!
Immediately, a crystal-clear long sword, shimmering with golden lightning, shot straight towards the blood sphere, directly obliterating it!
"Hmm?" Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's brow furrowed at this sudden turn of events.
Seeing the long sword continue to charge towards him, he casually raised a hand, intending to destroy it with ease.
But the moment his palm touched the sword tip, a familiar power caused his expression to change drastically!
Subsequently, a storm of mixed sword energy and lightning engulfed Blood Heaven Demon Emperor, leaving everyone's faces frozen in a daze.
The one who had acted was Wu Tian!
But they had all been hostile towards Wu Tian earlier. In this moment of crisis, how could Wu Tian do such a thing?
On the other side, after attacking Blood Heaven Demon Emperor with the Sacred Dragon Demon Slaying Sword, Wu Tian, without even taking a breath, quickly turned around and injected a surge of Medicine God power into Ashura.
Due to the vast disparity in their strength, Wu Tian could not heal his wounds.
However, the Medicine God power was, after all, the world's foremost restorative divine power. Under its nourishment, Ashura was at least no longer suffering as much pain.
"How are you? Can you still fight?" Wu Tian asked Ashura.
Ashura looked at Wu Tian, complex emotions surfacing in his eyes.
He truly harbored an intense hatred for the Sacred Dragon, which had led him to lash out at Wu Tian, even nearly killing him.
Yet, even so, Wu Tian could still overlook past grievances and save him.
Such an action was truly difficult for him to comprehend.
However, the situation was critical, and he did not dwell on it. He replied in a low voice, "I am far from my peak condition."
"But even if I could maintain my peak condition, you saw the result."
"He is a Five-Spirit Immortal King, while I am only at Four-Star. I am no match for him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's expression became much more solemn.
He had always believed that Immortal Kings were all on the same level, but now it seemed that even at this realm, there were still strict hierarchical distinctions.
The gap brought about by this mere single-level difference in the Immortal King realm was likely something that even two Ashuras could not bridge!
