Wu Tian's calm voice echoed slowly through heaven and earth, filled with a sense of certainty.
In truth, his heart was also filled with unease, but such matters were like this; one must not lose face even if they lose.
If one showed fear in their attitude, there would be no point in fighting on.
Ashura, however, sneered and said, "Boy, you agreed, so don't go back on your word."
"To avoid people saying I'm bullying you, this time I will only use thirty percent of my strength. Whether you can withstand it depends on your own abilities."
Wu Tian returned a cold laugh and said, "Don't speak so nicely. Aren't you already bullying me?"
"Less nonsense, just do it if you're going to, don't be polite."
Ashura said, "I really don't know if you're truly confident or just putting on a show, but none of that matters. The outcome will prove everything."
With that, a powerful aura converged around Ashura. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and the entire world seemed to tremble.
Wu Tian dared not be the slightest bit negligent. The immortal energy within his body began to circulate madly, and his body erupted with dazzling golden light. The Sacred Dragon looked as if it were about to come alive.
With a loud shout, the Medicine God's Ruler instantly appeared out of thin air, forming a massive green light shield in front of him.
This shield had an ancient design, inscribed with profound runes, and it emitted a deep sense of antiquity as it rotated.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ashura's face. He said, "Medicine God's Ruler? Even the inheritance of the Medicine God has fallen into your hands?"
"I know the Medicine God is in charge of healing power, but with your current strength, you cannot fully unleash its potential. Therefore, for me, it won't serve much purpose."
Wu Tian had no time to pay attention to him. The Thor's Scepter in his hand suddenly turned into a stream of light and shot into the sky, followed by a massive thunderous roar.
Immediately after, countless heavenly thunders descended from the sky, weaving into a lightning cage that protected Wu Tian.
Wu Tian let out a low growl, and the golden light on his body formed an armor-like attachment.
With the power of the Sacred Dragon, the power of the Thunder God, and the power of the Medicine God all activated, his defensive capabilities had reached an astonishing level.
At this moment, even if the Dragon Subduing Heavenly Venerate were to come, it would be difficult to break through his defenses.
However, even with such a strong defense, Wu Tian still felt it was not enough.
His opponent was not only an Immortal King but also a veteran Immortal King, whose strength might have already reached the peak level of an Immortal King.
Although he was nominally using only thirty percent of his strength, no one knew what that thirty percent truly represented.
Therefore, he absolutely could not harbor any侥幸心理. He had to condense an even stronger defense.
With this thought, he let out an even louder roar.
In an instant, the entire heaven and earth seemed to be filled with his voice.
The immortal energy in the Immortal Palace was squeezed to its limit. His eyes were red, his expression ferocious, making him look like an enraged demon god!
Finally, he stomped his foot heavily in the void, and a powerful ripple immediately spread out, causing the very fabric of this world to tremble.
Golden energy waves erupted from his body!
He panted heavily, staring at Ashura with an incredibly fierce gaze, and said, "I'm ready, make your move."
Ashura's expression had never changed much. He said indifferently, "Is this all you have?"
"Although you are nominally the successor of the Sacred Dragon, the true strength you've unleashed is quite disappointing."
"Less nonsense!" Wu Tian felt his blood boiling.
He roared, "Attack!"
Ashura said no more. Blue immortal energy rapidly converged around him, forming a blue arrow.
This arrow was entirely composed of water, yet it exuded a chilling sharpness, making one shudder just by looking at it.
He said calmly, "Boy, whether you live or die today depends entirely on this one move."
"Although I don't think you'll survive, I hope you can struggle a bit, otherwise, it would be too boring."
With that, Ashura's thoughts moved slightly.
Whoosh!
A short, sharp whistle immediately pierced the void and shot straight towards Wu Tian!
The arrow flew at an incredibly high speed, so fast that Wu Tian could only see a blur of blue flashing through the air.
A sharp killing intent surged towards him. Wu Tian focused his mind, gritted his teeth tightly, and in the next second, the arrow collided with the light shield formed by the Medicine God's Ruler!
Boom!
The impact of this collision was not small. Heaven and earth shook, and dense cracks spread across the void.
Wu Tian felt a surge of immense power entering his body. In an instant, the Immortal Palace trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
He hurriedly channeled the Medicine God's power, desperately trying to heal his injuries.
But the impact of that arrow was too fierce. Even though he was fully activating the Medicine God's power to restore himself, he still could not succeed!
"Such strong oppressive power!"
Wu Tian's heart was filled with intense shock.
The strength of an Immortal King was truly formidable. Compared to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
No wonder some said that the weakest Immortal King could instantly kill the strongest Grand Unity Golden Immortal; they were simply not creatures of the same dimension!
Wu Tian tried to hold on, but at this moment, with a cracking sound, the Medicine God's Shield actually broke!
Rumble! Rumble!
"How could this be!?"
In Wu Tian's horrified gaze, the cracks widened, and finally, it shattered completely!
The impact of the arrow did not diminish in the slightest. It continued to rush towards Wu Tian, and then collided with the lightning cage.
Instantly, even greater force struck Wu Tian's physical body. Wu Tian felt as if he had been hit by a train, as if thousands of pounds of force had surged into his body.
He was only half a step away from being blasted away by this power.
But he ultimately held firm, though the price was not small.
His bones were shattered inch by inch, and then healed by the Medicine God's power. This repeated agony made him suffer immensely.
Under the intense pain, the transmission of immortal energy was severely affected. In a moment of carelessness, the lightning cage was also broken through!
Wu Tian's eyes were filled with horror. Losing these two defenses meant he had to rely on his physical body to take Ashura's attack head-on.
The strength of the Sacred Dragon Heavenly Thunder Body had been pushed to the absolute limit he could achieve.
And in the next second, the arrow struck his chest!
