A thought quietly settled in Wu Tian's heart.
He knew this was an extremely dangerous undertaking, as his current strength was nowhere near enough to unleash that move.
But it was also a last resort. If he didn't take a gamble, he would inevitably face death anyway!
With this thought, his gaze turned fierce. He formed a hand seal and began to gather his immortal energy.
Qing'er, watching from behind, couldn't help but be moved.
She knew all too well the terrifying move the Yin Tian Demon Emperor was about to unleash, and how could Wu Tian possibly withstand it?
She instinctively asked, "What are you doing? Do you really have a way to fight back?"
Wu Tian's expression was strained as he replied, "Whether it works or not, I have to try. I can't just sit here and wait for death."
Qing'er hesitated for a moment, then her eyes firmed. "You go first, leave this to me."
"Even though my body has been branded with the demon seal, I can still self-detonate if I wish."
"You are the Son of the Sacred Dragon, you cannot die here. I will hold him off for a while, and you can escape."
To be honest, this was indeed a viable plan.
While an Eight-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal was no match for an Immortal King, a self-detonation could still cause some trouble for an Immortal King.
If Wu Tian could just charge forward, he might have a chance to break through the encirclement.
However, how could Wu Tian possibly agree to such a suggestion?
He said in a deep voice, "Stop joking. I am a man, and men do not hide behind women!"
"Today, we either escape together, or we die here together. There will be no third outcome!"
Wu Tian's resolute words, carrying an undeniable conviction, caused Qing'er to pause slightly.
Looking at Wu Tian's back, she felt an incredibly stable sense of security emanating from him, as if he were a divine force descending from the heavens.
As a woman of her caliber, with her strength and status, there were very few people in the world who could surpass her. Therefore, she had never experienced such a feeling before.
She had initially believed that she wouldn't be like a typical woman, needing a man to accomplish certain things.
Nor did she ever think she would need to find security in a man.
But at this very moment, she couldn't contain her emotions.
She couldn't utter a single word, simply staring blankly at Wu Tian, her mind seemingly falling into a void.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Yin Tian Demon Emperor's attack was nearing completion.
Above its head, a colossal demonic blade materialized.
The demonic blade had a peculiar, even grotesque, appearance, radiating a dense demonic aura that instilled dread.
The power of this demonic blade was undoubtedly immense. The mere demonic energy emanating from it was likely enough to easily kill a Six-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Indeed, to cultivators, Grand Unity Golden Immortals might seem like divine beings.
But before the Demon Emperor, spiritual cultivators and Grand Unity Golden Immortals were indistinguishable. They were simply crushed without any resistance!
Even Wu Tian couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the demonic blade, his scalp tingling.
The Yin Tian Demon Emperor's strength was truly terrifying. After witnessing Wu Tian, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
With his current strength, could he truly withstand it?
The Yin Tian Demon Emperor snarled, "Tremble, human! Your death is imminent."
"Take this! God Slaying Demonic Blade!"
As the Yin Tian Demon Emperor's voice suddenly rose, the demonic blade transformed into a stream of black light and shot straight towards Wu Tian!
The stream of light carried an incredibly sharp aura, accompanied by a potent corrosive scent. As it moved, it even caused space itself to shatter!
Wu Tian's heart clenched tightly. No matter what, he had to try his best now. He shouted loudly:
"Sacred Dragon Roaring Heaven Strike!"
A majestic dragon's roar erupted from within him.
Golden light shot towards the sky, then transformed into a colossal golden dragon, charging to meet the demonic blade!
The golden light and the black light rapidly converged, and then collided with earth-shattering force within the black mist!
The explosion was deafening. Space within hundreds of meters shattered, revealing black spatial turbulence.
The black mist was sucked into the spatial rifts, and soon, more black mist filled the void.
The power of this explosion was truly terrifying. The shockwave even reached beyond the black mist, causing waves hundreds of meters high to surge in the sea below.
Those outside the black mist were stunned. What was happening? Why such a violent impact? Were two Immortal Kings clashing?
The terrifying commotion continued for a while before finally subsiding.
Then, space began to repair itself, and the tremors gradually faded.
Although Qing'er was protected by Wu Tian, she was still not in a good state due to the violent impact.
But even though her entire body ached from the shock, she ignored her own condition and anxiously looked towards Wu Tian.
At this moment, Wu Tian's condition could only be described as extremely dire.
Blood was flowing from every pore of his body, making him look like a bloodied figure.
His aura had also become incredibly weak, a stark contrast to his earlier powerful demeanor.
This move, the Sacred Dragon Roaring Heaven Strike, was a technique that only an Immortal King's strength could unleash.
Wu Tian had been pushed to his limit, forced to use it.
With his current strength, he was naturally unable to display its true power.
However, as long as it was successfully unleashed, its power would surpass that of the Sacred Dragon Slaying Demon Sword.
But to use this move, he had paid a tremendous price. His immortal energy was now virtually depleted.
Even maintaining his position in the air felt like a struggle.
He looked at the Yin Tian Demon Emperor and sighed heavily in his heart.
As expected, even after resorting to such measures, he had still failed to inflict any serious damage on the Yin Tian Demon Emperor.
At this moment, the Yin Tian Demon Emperor remained standing in its original position, not having retreated an inch.
Despite this, its expression was extremely grim. Anyone could see how furious it was.
Even in ancient times, it would not have felt fear towards a Five-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
But Wu Tian's attack had made it feel a deep sense of dread, as if it were on the verge of perishing.
It knew very well that it was fortunate its strength had already broken through. Had it not been for that breakthrough, this Sacred Dragon Roaring Heaven Strike would have been enough to kill it!
"You damned creature!" It clenched its fists, its body trembling with rage.
"I think you've played enough of your tricks. Now, prepare to die!"
