"Pfft!"
The moment the arrow struck Wu Tian, a mouthful of scarlet blood spewed from his lips, instantly turning his face as pale as paper.
It was an exceptionally painful sensation.
Although the arrow had not pierced his body, it made him feel as though his internal organs were being torn apart.
That incredibly sharp energy, like countless blades, rampaged within his body, nearly dismembering him!
Fortunately, his Sacred Dragon Heavenly Thunder Body had already been cultivated to a considerable level.
Otherwise, this single move would have been enough to send him to his grave!
A strong will supported him, preventing him from falling unconscious under this intense pain.
He gritted his teeth, his face contorted beyond recognition, as if his eyeballs were about to burst from their sockets.
Asura's face was etched with indifference.
He felt no triumph at Wu Tian's suffering, nor any hint of joy.
Such matters seemed to be a natural course of events for him.
At his level, there was no need to feel any emotion for crushing an ant.
He said calmly, "You are already dead."
"You cannot resist my power. Rather than enduring pain here, you should give up sooner."
"Your so-called successor of the Sacred Dragon is nothing in my eyes."
"To want my clan's help is a joke! You think too highly of yourself."
Wu Tian felt as though his entire body was burning, but even while enduring such sharp agony, he showed no signs of compromise.
He glared at Asura, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "Don't you dare act tough with me, I'm not dead yet!"
"This level of pain is nothing; no matter how powerful the move, I can endure it!"
Asura shook his head and said, "You have little ability, but a big mouth. Do you truly believe my moves are only at this level?"
"The next part is when I truly begin to exert my strength."
"What?!" Hearing this, Wu Tian was filled with shock.
The impact of the arrow had already surpassed his imagination. He could barely withstand this much power, and it was hard to fathom what greater power the arrow might still conceal.
But Asura gave him no time to think. A strange fluctuation emanated from the arrow.
Soon, the arrow actually exploded!
In an instant, myriad streams of water burst forth, like countless long snakes, surging towards Wu Tian!
"This!"
Under Wu Tian's horrified gaze, the streams of water, connected to the arrow like whips, struck Wu Tian fiercely!
Boom, boom, boom...
Wave after wave of earth-shattering explosions occurred in the sky. The violent sounds were like thunder, as if the entire sky were about to collapse!
This scene shocked the spirit beast army below. They had not seen Asura unleash such might in a long time.
Under such a terrifying attack, even a newly ascended Immortal King would find it difficult to withstand.
Let alone a Grand Unity Golden Immortal like Wu Tian!
As the explosions continued, the sky was riddled with countless cracks from the intense impact.
Empty winds hissed through the fissures, as if even space could no longer bear such energy!
"This guy is definitely dead..."
"Hmph, he brought this upon himself!"
"To dare provoke the patriarch, this is the price he must pay!"
"But he is an important figure in the human realm. If he dies like this, the Demon Slaying Palace might have opinions..."
"What are you afraid of? How dare humans be compared to us spirit beasts? Even if this brat dies, they won't dare say much!"
Discussions arose from the spirit beast army, but they were quickly drowned out by the explosions.
After several minutes, the commotion of the explosions finally subsided.
At this moment, the sky was obscured by thick smoke, and no one could see the state within the smoke.
However, under such an explosion, no one believed that Wu Tian would have any chance of survival.
Asura's expression remained calm. He was not worried that Wu Tian would survive, as it was impossible.
He casually waved his hand, and the smoke immediately dispersed.
The spatial cracks rapidly repaired themselves, and the entire sky gradually returned to its original state.
And just as everyone saw the situation in the sky clearly, a violent shock, like a sharp blade, pierced directly into their hearts!
"How can this be..." The spirit beasts' eyes widened, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Even Asura's gaze momentarily froze, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
It had been a long time since he had experienced such a significant emotional fluctuation, but at this moment, he could not suppress the turmoil within him.
Because Wu Tian was not dead!
Wu Tian was still suspended in the air. Although his body was covered in blood, his life was not truly endangered!
For a moment, the entire world fell into silence, as if the drop of a needle could be heard.
A weak breath entered Wu Tian's nose and mouth. He managed a strained smile and said, "It... it hurts so much."
"But esteemed Patriarch, this time... I guess I won?"
Asura was actually rendered speechless.
After a while, he realized his lapse in composure, and his face instantly turned extremely grim:
"How can you still be alive? What did you do?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You underestimate my willpower. I've endured a hundred thousand heavenly thunders before, so how can I be defeated by you now?"
"I believe in human determination conquering fate. As long as I don't give up, a person cannot be easily defeated!"
What Wu Tian said was not false. He had indeed not used any special means just now, but had simply met the attack with his physical body and immortal energy.
The process was naturally worse than death for him, and many times he was in such pain that he wished he could bite his tongue and end it all.
But he knew in his heart that he absolutely could not fall here.
He had worked so hard to reach this point, and now he was only a step away from the finish line. How could he give up?
Thus, supported by such a strong will, he miraculously withstood Asura's attack.
However, he himself had suffered an extremely severe impact, and could only mobilize the energy to fly. Even his Divine Doctor's power could not be used at all.
And upon hearing his words, Asura's expression grew even worse.
No, this is wrong!
This should have been a sure thing, but how could this tiny bug withstand even thirty percent of his strength?!
Waves of anger surged in Asura's chest. This ancient monster, who had lived for countless years, was now truly enraged!
