Despite an overwhelmingly heavy heart, Wu Tian did not reveal any despair. His gaze remained as steadfast as a high wall, unyielding.
He had traversed countless life-or-death moments on his journey, never giving up easily.
Even though the current challenge was greater and heavier, he still harbored the thought of a desperate gamble.
In this world, no matter how immense the difficulty, as long as one did not surrender, there was always hope for a breakthrough.
If one gave up on themselves, what meaning would survival hold?
He spoke in a low voice, "Regardless, let's try again."
"As long as we can hold on until the Heavenly Phoenix awakens, perhaps we will still have a chance."
Ashura looked at Wu Tian with astonishment, unable to comprehend the young man's stable state of mind.
To be honest, someone of his strength already believed there was no chance this time.
Yet, Wu Tian showed no fear, a disposition that even earned him a trace of admiration.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor had fallen into silence.
His expression was complex, a mixture of shock and confusion. His brows furrowed slightly, as if he were contemplating something.
After a while, his deep voice slowly resonated, "Kid, who are you, and why do you carry the aura of a Sacred Dragon?"
Before Wu Tian could answer, the Demon Emperor, who had been among the spirit beasts, immediately spoke, "Lord Blood Heaven, this human is dangerous! He possesses the Sacred Dragon bloodline, you must not let him escape!"
"Sacred Dragon bloodline?!" Upon hearing the Demon Emperor's words, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor was greatly startled.
He then fixed his solemn gaze intently on Wu Tian.
From Wu Tian's previous attack, he had already sensed something was amiss.
At first, he had dismissed it as an illusion, but now it seemed his intuition was correct.
"I never expected the Sacred Dragon bloodline to exist in this world. It is truly too dangerous."
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor murmured, then continued, "Kid, it appears you and the Heavenly Phoenix are of the same kind, aren't you?"
"Now that the Heavenly Phoenix and the Sacred Dragon have gathered again, what, are you planning to subvert my clan once more?"
Wu Tian replied coldly, "It's an obvious matter, why bother asking?"
"If you believe your return this time will allow you to overthrow the humans and spirit beasts, then you are simply overthinking things."
"As long as I am alive, you will never succeed!"
Hearing Wu Tian's words, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor burst into laughter, saying, "How arrogant! I think you don't know your own limits!"
"If you were the Sacred Dragon himself, I might show you some respect. But you merely possess the Sacred Dragon bloodline and are not even an Immortal King."
"To me, your threat is less than Ashura's. How dare you speak to me like this?"
"However, this is for the best. Since both the Sacred Dragon bloodline and the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline have appeared today, I shall deal with you both!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"If we truly let you grow, it will not be a good thing for us!"
As his voice fell, a heavy aura immediately emanated from the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor.
The aura was blood-red, like a mist of blood, causing hearts to tremble with fear.
Wu Tian's gaze turned solemn. He said to Ashura, "No matter what, we must stop him today."
"I know you are unwilling to cooperate with me, but you have no choice but to do so now."
Ashura did not appreciate Wu Tian's tone, but he knew in his heart that Wu Tian's words were not without merit.
He remained silent but still gathered his remaining immortal energy.
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's gaze was indifferent, not placing either of them in his eyes.
With a casual wave of his hand, the blood-red light immediately condensed into baseball-sized orbs of light, which then rained down like a torrential downpour!
Countless blood orbs poured down, like stars falling from the heavens, vast and imposing.
Seeing this, everyone's expression changed. They quickly unleashed their immortal energy and used all their might to resist.
Although the blood orbs were numerous, their individual power was also astonishing.
Even a five-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with the slightest carelessness, could be utterly annihilated.
Wu Tian, holding the Thunder God's Scepter, summoned a golden thunder dragon to protect himself, destroying all the blood orbs that approached him.
If there were only a few dozen blood orbs, it would have been no trouble for him.
But the sheer number of blood orbs was overwhelming, as if they were endless, and the pressure on him mounted with each passing moment.
It was like water droplets hitting a stone; though they might not cause any effect in a short time, given enough time and frequency, even the hardest stone would eventually be worn through.
Gradually, a look of strain appeared on Wu Tian's face.
The thunder dragon was shattered by the blood orbs, forcing him to form a barrier to protect himself from harm.
Wu Tian was filled with shock. The power of an Immortal King was truly terrifying; with a mere wave of his hand, he could unleash such immense power.
With his current strength, he was utterly vulnerable when facing the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor.
The only one present who could break this attack was Ashura, but unfortunately, Ashura had not fully recovered. His current strength was far from his peak.
While his condition was slightly better than Wu Tian's, it was unlikely he could resolve the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's attack in one go.
The Blood Heaven Demon Emperor's energy seemed inexhaustible as he hurled countless blood orbs, devastating all the areas under attack.
Under such fierce onslaught, many were unable to bear the pressure and perished on the spot.
Wu Tian knew this could not continue.
If he allowed the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor to act with impunity, it would be a slow death even for him!
Let alone himself, the entire spirit beast realm would be plunged into devastation...
What should be done?
Wu Tian was consumed by anxiety, his mind racing, feeling as though his nerves were about to snap.
Seeing the casualties increasing, Wu Tian knew this matter could not be delayed any further.
He steeled himself, gritted his teeth, and a deep resolve flashed in his eyes.
There was no other way; he had to fight with all his might!
With this thought, Wu Tian let out a furious roar, scattering all the surrounding blood orbs.
Seeing this, the Blood Heaven Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow, curious to see what other tricks Wu Tian had up his sleeve.
Brilliant lightning flickered in Wu Tian's eyes. He raised the Thunder God's Scepter high, and a massive circular lightning array appeared beneath his feet!
Immediately, an explosive roar echoed through heaven and earth!
"Five Thunder... Heavenly Heart Art!"
