As the corrosion progressed, Wu Tian's expression outside became increasingly pained.
His cheeks twitched slightly, his face shifting between dark and purple hues, and even blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this, Lei Qianjiao's face turned pale with shock. She asked in a panic, "Lord Thunder God, what is happening?"
"How did Wu Tian suddenly become like this? Has something happened to him?"
Lei Shen's expression also grew exceptionally serious.
He stared intently at Wu Tian and said in a deep voice, "This scoundrel, Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, is clearly determined to drag Wu Tian down with him even in death!"
Lei Shen, who always maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor, uttered such words for the first time.
It was evident that the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's actions had even provoked immense anger in him.
Although Lei Qianjiao did not know the specifics of what had transpired, she understood that the situation had devolved into a dire state.
She hurriedly asked, "Then what should we do? Can Wu Tian be saved?"
Lei Shen replied gravely, "Regardless, the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor is one of the Twelve Demon Emperors. It will not give up so easily."
"With Wu Tian's current abilities, it is likely difficult for him to resist."
"And if Wu Tian is completely controlled by it, then there will essentially be no possibility of him returning."
"How could this happen..." Lei Qianjiao's face turned ashen.
She said with a panicked heart, "Is there no way to remedy this?"
"Wu Tian cannot die here. He finally passed the trial of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Thunders. If he dies now, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?"
Lei Shen said, "You don't need to be so anxious. As my successor, I will not let him die here."
"I had foreseen such a situation, so from the very beginning, I had prepared for the worst."
"Just wait and see, Wu Tian will definitely be alright."
As he spoke, Lei Shen took a deep breath.
Then, he looked up at the sky and said with a sigh, "Thunder God Immortal Realm, I have essentially lost all my energy now, so everything can only depend on you."
With that, Lei Shen quickly formed hand seals and then shouted in a low voice, "Open!"
As this sound echoed, the entire Thunder God Immortal Realm began to rumble.
Simultaneously, the heavens and earth started to shake slightly, as if an earthquake had struck.
Countless bolts of lightning converged from all directions, entering Lei Shen's body in unison.
During this process, Lei Qianjiao could clearly feel the lightning energy of the Thunder God Immortal Realm becoming increasingly sparse...
She suddenly realized something and said with a trembling voice, "Lord Thunder God, what are you doing?"
Lei Shen, while absorbing the energy from all directions, replied:
"Since it's the worst-case scenario, I can only resort to the worst measures."
"When I was dealing with the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor earlier, I did not fully draw upon the energy of the Thunder God Immortal Realm."
"But now, all the energy of the Thunder God Immortal Realm has truly converged upon me."
"With this energy, I can help Wu Tian completely obliterate the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor."
"As long as the threat of the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor is removed, it will be a natural progression for Wu Tian to absorb the demonic energy."
"Ah? This, how can this be done?" Lei Qianjiao realized the consequences of this action.
She quickly exclaimed, "If you do this, the Thunder God Immortal Realm will collapse immediately!"
Lei Shen gave a wry smile and said, "There's no other way. This is the only method left."
"No matter what, it is good to be able to help Wu Tian."
"He carries too much on his shoulders..."
"For that, even if it costs the entire Thunder God Immortal Realm, it is worth it!"
Lei Shen's expression suddenly turned ferociously fierce. He then struck Wu Tian with a palm, roaring loudly:
"Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, disappear from this world completely!"
The entire energy of the Thunder God Immortal Realm flowed through Lei Shen's palm and into Wu Tian's body.
Concurrently, within the sea of consciousness, the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor sensed this surge of energy and looked up in horror.
The entire sky was now covered in radiant lightning!
That majestic heavenly might was akin to a deity descending with divine wrath!
This sight filled the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor with a profound sense of impending doom.
It could not help but curse, "Damn Thunder God! Are you never going to stop!"
Immediately after, it was forced to abandon its corrosion of Wu Tian and instead directed its dense black energy towards the lightning!
If the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor were in its peak state, dealing with this energy would have been effortless.
It alone was capable of destroying the entire Thunder God Immortal Realm.
But now, it was different.
Its own energy was already depleted. The moment it touched this lightning energy,
It immediately felt an unbearable pressure bearing down from the sky!
"Bastard, bastard!"
The Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor was completely panicked. It roared:
"You want to stop me? That's impossible!"
"Today, I will kill him! No matter what, I will kill him!"
However, despite the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's frenzied attitude, it was actually too preoccupied to pay any attention to Wu Tian.
Merely dealing with the lightning energy was enough to make it feel deeply strained.
If it were to falter, it would be utterly annihilated!
But it had clearly underestimated Wu Tian's swiftness!
As the black energy receded from its vicinity, Wu Tian's condition rapidly recovered.
He looked up and immediately understood what was happening.
At that moment, an extreme killing intent erupted from his eyes!
"Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, you want to kill me that badly?"
"But today, the one who dies will not be me, it will only be you!"
Wu Tian roared furiously, his body radiating brilliant lightning.
He then leaped forward, instantly flying before the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, a sword forged from lightning now in his hand!
"This is... the Sky-Shattering Demon Slaying Sword?!"
The Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor recognized Wu Tian's technique.
Although this move, wielded by Wu Tian, lacked the imposing aura of Lei Shen's release,
It was, nonetheless, one of Lei Shen's seven supreme divine abilities!
In its current state, it had absolutely no ability to block it!
It was utterly terrified and quickly cried out, "Wait! Wait! You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"
Wu Tian paid it no heed, only roaring in anger:
"Can't kill me? What are you, anyway? I'm here to kill you, damn it!"
His furious roar reverberated through the sky!
Wu Tian let out a deafening roar, and then thrust the lightning sword in his hand fiercely into the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's brow!
