As Wu Tian collided with him, Chen Dong immediately felt the immortal energy emanating from Wu Tian.
In an instant, his expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible? Your immortal energy is as powerful as mine!"
He couldn't believe such a thing. After all, although his strength had not reached the level of a high-grade immortal, it far surpassed the spiritual energy reserves that a mid-grade immortal should possess.
Even though Wu Tian's strength could not be solely measured by his level, to be able to contend with him was simply unbelievable.
Facing his astonishment, Wu Tian said in a deep voice, "Nothing is impossible. Do you really think you can defeat me with your strength?"
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for you using a secret technique to enhance your strength, with your original power, defeating you would be as easy as lifting a finger!"
Chen Dong was almost furious.
He said with a ferocious expression, "What the hell did you say? How dare you say such a thing? I'll make you pay today!"
He abruptly increased the output of his immortal energy, and at the same time, Wu Tian also increased his.
As the immortal energy both of them were channeling grew, the surrounding space even began to distort.
This state of balance at the limit was bound to be unsustainable for long.
Suddenly, with a violent explosion, both of their expressions changed slightly, and they were pushed apart.
Immediately after, without further words, the two figures turned into streaks of lightning and flew out, colliding repeatedly within the grand hall.
Each collision produced a muffled yet resounding explosion.
Watching such a battle, Lei Qianjiao's beautiful eyes were somewhat dazed.
She had been worried earlier about whether Wu Tian could handle Chen Dong, but now it seemed Wu Tian indeed had the ability.
This person... truly exceeded her imagination.
After more than ten collisions, Wu Tian and Chen Dong separated again, their gazes meeting.
Wu Tian's expression remained as calm as ever, while Chen Dong was already too enraged to control his emotions.
He had initially thought that with his surge in strength, defeating Wu Tian would be effortless.
But he never expected Wu Tian's strength to be so terrifying.
If Wu Tian could display such formidable combat power now, wouldn't he be able to contend with true immortals once he broke through to the high-grade immortal realm?
The more Chen Dong thought about it, the more infuriated he became!
Why, why could the gap between people be so immense!
What was he lacking compared to Wu Tian!
If he had even half of Wu Tian's luck, wouldn't he be a high-grade immortal by now?
Seeing his sullen look, Wu Tian found it quite amusing, so he smiled and said, "Hey, I suggest you stop being angry, it's not good for your health."
"I know what you're thinking, you must be complaining about the unfairness of the world, right?"
"But that's just how fate is, what can you do? So, try to relax."
"Perhaps the reason you've been unable to improve your strength is precisely because of your strong obsessions."
Chen Dong was already on edge, and Wu Tian's words were like adding fuel to the fire.
As expected, his face turned red with anger, and he said fiercely, "Shut up! Who do you think you are, and who am I!"
"I'm so much older than you, it's not your place to lecture me!"
Wu Tian shrugged and said, "In front of me, I advise you not to use your age to suppress me, because it only makes you seem more incompetent."
"After all, if I had lived to your age, I might have already reached a higher realm."
Wu Tian was never an arrogant person. The reason he said such things was only to completely provoke Chen Dong.
As expected, these words pierced Chen Dong's heart like sharp swords, carrying a sense of killing intent.
Chen Dong couldn't help but roar, "Damn it! How dare you look down on me! Die!"
Before the sound could dissipate in the air, Chen Dong had already condensed his immortal energy.
In front of him, the phantom of a lightning lion was slowly taking shape.
Sensing the heavy and ferocious aura, Lei Qianjiao quickly said, "Wu Tian, be careful, this move is the Wrath of the Lightning Lion, its power is extraordinary!"
But after speaking, she realized she had spoken unnecessarily. After all, the cultivation techniques of their Sacred Lightning Sect were derived from the incomplete "Heavenly Lightning Codex."
Since Wu Tian had learned the entire codex, how could he not know about the Wrath of the Lightning Lion?
Hearing Lei Qianjiao's reminder, Wu Tian smiled and said, "Wrath of the Lightning Lion, is it? Using such a move against me is truly foolish."
"Next, I'll let him witness an upgraded version of the Wrath of the Lightning Lion."
"Upgraded version of the Wrath of the Lightning Lion?" Lei Qianjiao couldn't understand Wu Tian's meaning, as she had never heard of such a thing.
The immortal energy in Chen Dong's hand condensed more and more solidly, and the image of the lightning lion became increasingly concrete.
The lightning lion was enveloped in lightning, emitting an extremely violent aura, far superior to the Rock Demon Dog that Wang Shi had unleashed earlier.
Chen Dong grinned, his tone filled with a chilling intent.
He said coldly, "Kid, this is the end of the matter. This move, the Wrath of the Lightning Lion, is my most accomplished skill."
"In the entire Sacred Lightning Sect, below the true immortal level, no one can use it more skillfully than I can, not even Lei Qianjiao!"
"It is your honor to die by this move."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian's face was adorned with a smile. "Coincidentally, my Wrath of the Lightning Lion is not bad either. Since you've said so, why don't I challenge it?"
Hearing that Wu Tian intended to use the same move against him, Chen Dong immediately burst into laughter.
He said, "You are too arrogant, but your arrogance is no different from foolishness to me!"
"To use the Wrath of the Lightning Lion against my Wrath of the Lightning Lion, I think you should just dream about it! You absolutely cannot do it!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Of course I should dream, after all, one must have dreams, what if they come true?"
As he spoke, a powerful immortal energy spread out from Wu Tian's body.
Immediately, golden lightning shot out from his body and slowly condensed into the figure of a lightning lion in front of him.
The next second, as the lightning lion roared, the sound that reverberated throughout the grand hall was actually the roar of a dragon!
