After transforming into his true Kun Peng form, Jialuo appeared imposing. His enormous wings unfurled, their feathers like steel, seemingly capable of obscuring the heavens and eclipsing the sun.
Wu Tian’s gaze remained unwavering, not betraying the slightest tremor. He looked at Jialuo and said, "Make your move."
"If you don't act, then I shall strike first."
Jialuo offered no reply, suddenly emitting a sharp, piercing cry.
It was unimaginable that a bird could produce a sound akin to a wild beast. Instantly, that hoarse roar filled the entire world, striking terror into the hearts of all who heard it.
Then, Jialuo flapped his wings, his colossal body stirring up a gale as he soared into the sky.
His form was so immense that for a moment, a vast shadow engulfed the plaza.
Every feather on Jialuo's body stood on end, emanating a sharp, cold gleam.
As the immortal energy condensed with increasing intensity, a fiery red light suddenly blazed from his body, making him appear like a bird of flame from afar!
A tremendous pressure descended from the heavens, causing the very fabric of this realm to tremble.
Wu Tian's clothes clung tightly to his body under the immense pressure, yet he remained unperturbed, as if he had a plan.
"Wu Tian..." Seeing Jialuo's astonishing display, Su Qiannai's heart pounded wildly, and she couldn't help but whisper his name.
Wu Tian did not turn back, calmly stating, "It's alright. Leave this matter to me. I can handle it."
The immortal energy within Jialuo grew increasingly turbulent, and the flames on his body became even more scorching, as if another sun had appeared in the sky.
Suddenly, he let out a furious roar, "Sky Bird Impact!"
Then, his entire body transformed into a colossal fiery meteor, hurtling directly towards Wu Tian!
Boom!
In an instant, a fierce wind raged, causing immense disturbances in the air for nearly a hundred miles.
Wu Tian tilted his head back, the fire in his eyes becoming more pronounced.
He took a deep breath, his chest expanding considerably.
Just as Jialuo closed to within ten meters, a furious roar erupted from Wu Tian's throat!
Roar!
This roar seemed to carry the power to shatter the heavens and earth. That sacred and majestic aura immediately and fiercely engulfed the surroundings.
This was the roar of the Sacred Dragon, its ultimate technique – the Sacred Dragon Heaven-Shaking Roar!
Instantly, a massive golden sonic wave surged upwards, colliding head-on with Jialuo without any hesitation.
At the moment of impact, Jialuo's expression drastically changed, and he couldn't help but bellow, "How is this possible!"
Before his voice faded, the flames enveloping his body were immediately dispersed by the sonic wave, much like an apple being sliced into countless pieces in an instant, its skin stripped away.
Jialuo's body vibrated violently within the sonic wave, and his hard feathers began to fall, striking the ground with resounding thuds.
When the sonic wave dissipated, Jialuo plummeted from the sky like a dead bird.
With a thunderous crash, the black earth was churned up dozens of meters high!
Su Qiannai, losing her balance, also fell to the ground.
Wu Tian casually waved his hand, and the thick smoke vanished completely. The altar in the center of the plaza had collapsed, leaving behind only a massive crater.
Wu Tian walked to the edge of the crater, which was twenty to thirty meters wide and over ten meters deep. Jialuo's colossal body was nowhere to be seen, only his human form remained.
Clearly, the collision had severely wounded him, rendering him unable to maintain his true form.
Wu Tian moved his finger slightly, and a surge of Medicine God's power entered Jialuo's body.
While this power did not heal Jialuo's injuries, it at least preserved his life.
Wu Tian looked at him and said, "I have defeated you. Can you let me pass now?"
Jialuo managed to stand up with great difficulty. He glared at Wu Tian, his heart filled with rage, yet he clearly understood that his strength was far inferior to Wu Tian's.
He could only wear a grim expression and say with great difficulty, "You... you are indeed strong, but this is as far as you go."
"Although you have defeated me, there are many stronger individuals in the Spirit Beast tribe. You cannot act with impunity here; it is absolutely impossible!"
Wu Tian replied, "I will say it again, I have no intention of acting with impunity. I have a legitimate purpose for being here."
"My actions towards you this time were out of necessity. So please, do not slander me."
Jialuo spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Nonsense! I don't care what your purpose is."
"In any case, I will stop you!"
"Just breathing the same air as you makes me sick!"
Seeing Jialuo's furious state, Wu Tian did not get angry, merely sighing inwardly.
He truly wondered what had transpired in ancient times to make the Spirit Beast tribe hate the Sacred Dragons so intensely.
Suddenly, Wu Tian felt a throbbing in his temples.
From Jialuo's attitude, it was evident that his journey in the Spirit Beast realm would likely not be smooth sailing.
Jialuo alone, a mere six-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal, was manageable.
But what if the Immortal Kings of the Spirit Beast tribe appeared? What would he do then?
He would likely be trapped, unable to advance or retreat.
The thought of such a situation made Wu Tian's head ache even more. He decided to stop thinking about it and paid Jialuo no further mind.
Turning, he prepared to lead Su Qiannai further inside.
However, just as they began to fly, a deep voice suddenly echoed through the sky:
"Your Excellency, I advise you not to take another step forward."
"Otherwise, you will die here immediately."
Wu Tian blinked in surprise and looked ahead. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and then five figures appeared ten meters away!
"Such speed!" Wu Tian exclaimed in shock.
With his current strength, he could even contend with a ten-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Yet, these five individuals had arrived without him detecting them at all.
Such power was truly terrifying.
Then, he heard dense roars from below. Looking down, he was startled once more.
Below, a vast army was surging towards them!
The army was composed of a complex mix of humanoid spirit beasts and those who had yet to fully transform.
Such a grand display...
It could only mean that the Spirit Beast tribe was already declaring war on him in the name of their entire race!
"No way..."
Wu Tian's eyes widened slightly, his tone filled with astonishment.
Yet, he maintained his composure. Steadying his mind, he cupped his fists towards the figures ahead and asked, "Sirs, what is the meaning of this?"
The leader, a man of exceptional handsomeness, had eyes that showed little emotion. He said coldly, "As expected, the scent of the Sacred Dragon."
"After so many years, it is still so foul."
