The entire space had fallen into silence at this moment.
And within Lei Qianjiao's sight, Wu Tian and the ape were almost pressed against each other.
The ape's fist was less than a centimeter away from Wu Tian's head, while Wu Tian was gasping for breath, the ferocity in his eyes slowly dissipating.
The Thunderclap Sword had already pierced the ape's chest, and the blood that had just spurted out was the ape's blood.
The ape's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Its fist moved forward slightly, as if it still wanted to attack Wu Tian.
But it was too late. As the Thunderclap Sword pierced through it, its life force rapidly drained from its body like an opened floodgate.
The green light in its eyes gradually dimmed, and soon it plunged into complete darkness.
Wu Tian pulled out his long sword. Its massive body didn't even tremble before it fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, Wu Tian's mind was still somewhat dazed. He looked at the ape lying on the ground, unable to react for a moment.
After all, the ape had instilled too much fear in him. Now that it was dead, he still felt a sense of unreality.
It wasn't until a while later, after he had carefully examined the ape and ensured that it had completely ceased to have any life force, that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally... it's over..." he sighed with relief.
The situation just now was too dangerous!
Even he had only taken a gamble, and he couldn't be 100% sure that he could truly kill it.
In the "Thunder God's Tome," there was a particularly strange move. Although it could be classified as a celestial skill, it had no level distinction.
This move was called the Gathering Yuan Heavenly Thunder Sword, and its greatest characteristic was that it could absorb the celestial energy of others and fuse it with one's own celestial energy, thereby unleashing immense power.
This was a cultivation method without limits. Theoretically, as long as one could control it, any celestial energy, no matter how powerful, could be absorbed and used for oneself.
However, this move was also particularly dangerous to use, as other people's celestial energy was, after all, just that.
If one wanted to forcibly fuse it with one's own celestial energy, then not only must one possess immense strength, but also a high degree of proficiency in this move.
If the fusion failed, then in the end, not only would the Heavenly Thunder Sword not be condensed, but one would also suffer severe backlash, even endangering one's life.
Wu Tian did not have a very deep mastery of this move. The reason he succeeded just now was largely due to luck.
It was also fortunate that Lei Qianjiao's condition was not good, which meant that the amount of celestial energy he needed to absorb was not that large.
If Lei Qianjiao were still in a normal state, he didn't think he could handle the celestial energy of a high-grade immortal.
But no matter what, the ape had been killed by him, and that was the greatest outcome.
He emerged from his tense state, and a great sense of fatigue instantly filled his limbs.
He didn't even want to stand up anymore, so he simply sat down on the ground.
But just as he was about to rest, suddenly, a brilliant light flashed from the ape's wound.
At the same time, an incredibly powerful aura rapidly spread outwards.
This aura was exactly the same as the aura the ape had unleashed. Wu Tian's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.
"No way?" Wu Tian said, his eyeballs trembling, "You can't kill it even like this?"
Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the light seemed to lock onto Wu Tian, transforming into a torrent that surged into Wu Tian's chest.
Before Wu Tian could react, he deeply felt the torrent spreading through his meridians, almost bursting them!
"This, is wrong..." This situation made Wu Tian understand immediately.
He couldn't tell if he should be surprised or terrified, but without a second word, he sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Lei Qianjiao was also very confused by this situation. She dragged her weak body and walked step by step towards Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's face turned red, then blue, then back to his normal skin tone, appearing very strange.
"Ahhh..."
Wu Tian also clenched his brows tightly, sweat beading on his forehead, looking as if he was enduring immense pain.
This situation made her very puzzled, but she didn't dare to disturb him further, so she could only wait obediently by the side.
Unbeknownst to her, at this moment, Wu Tian had already approached the brink of death multiple times.
His guess was correct. The energy that had surged into his body was the energy contained within the ape's spirit core.
It was likely that his previous sword strike had directly destroyed the spirit core, causing the spirit core's energy to break free from its restraints.
After leaving the spirit core, the energy had nowhere to go, and since Wu Tian was the closest, it had surged into his body, taking him as its second resting place.
Being able to absorb the ape's spirit core energy was certainly a good thing for Wu Tian, but the problem was that this energy was too powerful.
Wu Tian's own level was only that of a mid-grade immortal, but to have him absorb energy that surpassed a high-grade immortal was, to say the least, a difficult feat.
The difficulty was even more than ten times that of absorbing the Thunder Bull King's spirit core.
At this moment, the surging and fierce energy was repeatedly impacting his physical body, almost tearing his body apart.
From Lei Qianjiao's perspective, dragon-like veins bulged from his skin, and they twitched frequently with the sound of his rapid heartbeat, looking incredibly bizarre.
Lei Qianjiao didn't know what had happened to Wu Tian.
But such strange behavior made her feel a little scared.
She worried that something would happen to Wu Tian, and she wouldn't know what to do then.
Suddenly, Wu Tian let out a pained cry, the sound exceptionally chilling, as if he were being subjected to a thousand cuts.
And his heartbeat resounded throughout the entire space like a war drum!
The dense veins twitched even more violently, as if they would shatter in the next second!
Seeing this, Lei Qianjiao finally couldn't hold back.
She hurriedly shouted at Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, how are you? Don't scare me!"
