The man spoke with his gaze perpetually lowered.
Despite his calm demeanor, Wu Tian could still sense the disdain emanating from his words.
Knowing this person's high status, Wu Tian didn't argue but clasped his hands and said, "I am Wu Tian. May I know who you are?"
The man glanced lazily at Wu Tian and said, "Myself? Since when has the attitude of the Sacred Dragon become so humble?"
"When you came to my tribe to snatch people, you never showed me, the tribal chief, any respect."
Tribal Chief?!
Hearing this, Wu Tian was greatly shocked.
He hadn't expected the person before him to be the chief of the Spirit Beast Tribe, and judging from his words.
Could it be that he had been alive since ancient times?
With this thought, Wu Tian dared not be negligent any longer, and said in a deep voice, "So you are the chief of the Spirit Beast Tribe."
"I know there is a misunderstanding between the Spirit Beast Tribe and the Sacred Dragon, but I have only inherited the power of the Sacred Dragon, and it has nothing to do with me."
"Moreover, the demon race shows signs of revival at any moment. I have come here to open the Sacred Dragon Treasure, for the sake of all living beings."
"I hope the tribal chief can overlook past grievances and tell me the location of the Sacred Dragon Treasure?"
The chief of the Spirit Beast Tribe, named Ashura, seemed to pay no heed to Wu Tian's words, his attitude remaining very indifferent:
"Overlook past grievances? That's easy to say."
"The Sacred Dragon and my tribe have such deep animosity. You actually want to dismiss it so lightly. Aren't you looking down on us too much?"
Wu Tian did not understand why Ashura interpreted it this way, but he had to seek help. He could only lower his stance further and say:
"You misunderstand, I never meant that."
"It's just that the situation is critical now. I believe we should prioritize the safety of the world. As for the grievances between the Spirit Beast Tribe and the Sacred Dragon, can we put them aside for now?"
Ashura sneered, "What do you mean by that? In the end, it sounds like I'm the one who can't distinguish between what's important and what's not."
"You trespassed into my tribe and injured my guards. To us, this is a serious act of provocation!"
"In this situation, you still want us to sit down and talk. Don't you think you're being rather foolish?"
Wu Tian's brows furrowed slightly. Ashura was truly eccentric, why couldn't he be reasoned with?
He was never one to fawn over others, so if Ashura's attitude towards him was so poor, his own attitude wouldn't be much better.
His demeanor immediately became somewhat indifferent, and he said, "Sir, I am already being as polite as I can. Is your attitude not a bit too much?"
"Let me say it again, I am not here for myself, but for all living beings."
"If you insist on this attitude, then I am not someone to be easily bullied."
"Is that so?" Ashura said, "Just right. The shame the Sacred Dragon brought upon me in ancient times has always been something I couldn't vent."
"Since you, the successor of the Sacred Dragon, are here today, let's settle both old and new scores together."
As his voice fell, Ashura waved his sleeve.
Immediately, a powerful gust of wind surged towards Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's expression changed drastically. He quickly pointed his scepter forward, and a beam of lightning shot out, colliding violently with the gust of wind.
Boom!
The explosion was incredibly loud. Ashura's brows twitched slightly, while Wu Tian was forced back two steps.
His right hand trembled slightly, and the immortal energy within him fluctuated, a hint of shock appearing on his face.
Although this was just a simple exchange, Wu Tian could clearly feel that Ashura's immortal energy was unfathomably deep.
In front of Ashura, Wu Tian felt like an ant facing a giant, seemingly with no power to fight back.
"This guy's strength is so formidable..."
Wu Tian sighed inwardly. Such strength even surpassed that of the Demon Subduing Heavenly Venerate.
Could he be a Celestial King?
As this thought arose, Wu Tian felt all his hairs stand on end.
He felt his guess was not wrong, after all, the Spirit Beast Tribe now had Celestial Kings.
And since Ashura had been the chief since ancient times, how terrifying must his strength be?
The more Wu Tian thought about it, the colder his hands and feet became. Ashura, on the other hand, showed a slight hint of surprise.
He looked at Wu Tian and said, "The Staff of the Thunder God?"
"Not only do you possess the power of the Sacred Dragon, but you have also inherited the legacy of the Thunder God?"
Wu Tian gave a rather awkward smile and said, "What, is there a problem?"
Ashura said, "No problem, it's all the same anyway."
"Let alone you being the successor of the Thunder God, even if the Thunder God himself came, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage from me today."
"You are no match for me. I advise you to bind yourself and stop making futile efforts. We will inform you of your disposal later."
Ashura's words made Wu Tian feel somewhat enraged, with veins slightly throbbing at his temples.
He truly hated this arrogant attitude.
What's so great about being arrogant?
Therefore, he showed no intention of retreating. Instead, he stared at Ashura and said, "Surrender? I'm sorry, don't you look down on me too much?"
"If you have the ability, kill me today. Otherwise, I will definitely uncover the secret of the Sacred Dragon Treasure!"
Ashura was not angered. He said, "Is that so? Then let me see how much of the Sacred Dragon's power you, the successor of the Sacred Dragon, have inherited."
After speaking, Ashura's eyes widened slightly, and a terrifying pressure immediately enveloped Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's expression changed. He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He unleashed his immortal energy without reservation, trying to resist Ashura's pressure.
However, Ashura's strength was truly too terrifying.
With his current strength, he still trembled, instantly feeling as if his entire body was about to explode!
"Ah..."
Wu Tian's muscles trembled minutely, and a hoarse growl erupted from his throat. He looked like he was in great pain.
Large beads of sweat dripped from his face.
He felt as if his body was being crushed by a mountain, unable to break free.
Ashura said indifferently, "Is this your strength? You disappoint me greatly."
"You can't even move right now. How dare you challenge me?"
Wu Tian felt a fire burning fiercely within him. He had almost exhausted his immortal energy, but he was still unable to move.
Just then, a majestic dragon roar sounded from within him.
Following that, his Sacred Dragon Heavenly Thunder Body erupted with dazzling golden light!
