Wu Tian's resolute words made the Overlord Demon Emperor pause slightly.
He hadn't expected that, despite his strength and status, Wu Tian would dare to speak to him in such a manner.
He immediately declared in anger, "Kid, you brought this upon yourself!"
"Then let me see what gives you the right to speak to me like this!"
Just as the Overlord Demon Emperor was about to make a move, a flame suddenly attacked from behind him!
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Before he could even voice his confusion, the flame engulfed him.
However, with his abilities, he naturally sustained no damage.
But the fury in his eyes ignited instantly.
As the flames dissipated, he saw Shen Fengyao had broken free from her restraints and was glaring at him with intense anger.
Understanding everything at once, he said with immense fury, "So that's how it is, kid, you've played a clever game!"
"You deliberately provoked me, giving her a chance to break my restraints?"
"It seems you've succeeded."
Wu Tian sneered, "You are a dignified Demon Emperor, if I don't use some tricks, how can that be?"
The Overlord Demon Emperor said dismissively, "But what does that matter?"
"Even if you helped her escape, it's only temporary."
"Do you really think the two of you can truly escape from me today?"
"If you think so, then you're not taking me seriously at all!"
"Insects are still insects, don't try to shake a towering tree like me!"
Wu Tian said solemnly, "The two of us are indeed no match for you. Even if we fight to the death, we won't be able to defeat you today."
"But that has never been my goal."
"The Eight Great Divine Sects must be searching for us by now, so as long as we can hold out until then, isn't that enough?"
The Overlord Demon Emperor scoffed, "Let's not even talk about whether those useless people can help, but you won't be able to hold out until then."
"Honestly, with your strength, I could destroy you with a single finger."
"The so-called inheritor of the Thunder God is fake. Even if you possess the Thunder God's Staff, you are not the true Thunder God, so don't expect to pose any threat to me."
"Is that so?" Wu Tian said coldly.
"If I were merely an eighth-rank Golden Immortal, then what you say might be correct."
"But unfortunately, the power I possess is not as simple as you imagine!"
Wu Tian's voice suddenly deepened, and the lightning patterns on his body began to rotate slowly, eventually forming the image of a sacred dragon!
At the same time, an aura far exceeding that of the Heavenly Thunder Body erupted from him!
"This, this is!" Upon sensing this aura, the Overlord Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically.
The aura was filled with a sacred and vast essence, before which even the Overlord Demon Emperor felt as insignificant as dust!
He exclaimed in disbelief, "How can this be! Within you... why is there the aura of a sacred dragon!"
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"What?!" Hearing this, Shen Fengyao's face also showed deep astonishment.
Wu Tian said solemnly, "This is a new technique where I combine the power of the Thunder God with the power of the Sacred Dragon, named the Heavenly Thunder Sacred Dragon Body!"
"The power of the Sacred Dragon has a natural suppressive effect on your demonic beings. Now, do you still think I am truly incapable of confronting you?"
The so-called Heavenly Thunder Sacred Dragon Body, as Wu Tian stated, was a perfect fusion of two inheritances.
He had conceived of this idea before, but his strength was insufficient to merge the two.
However, after advancing to the eighth-rank Golden Immortal, he discovered he possessed the necessary power.
Thus, this attempt had actually succeeded!
The Overlord Demon Emperor's heart churned with surprise. He said fiercely, "This is truly unexpected."
"A weakling like you, possessing both the inheritance of the Thunder God and the Sacred Dragon."
"In that case, I must not let you go."
"Your foundation is too weak. Even if you unleash this so-called Heavenly Thunder Sacred Dragon Body, you will not be my opponent."
"And before you can fully mature, I must nip you in the bud!"
"You wish!" Before Wu Tian could speak, Shen Fengyao's sharp cry echoed again.
She said solemnly, "If he alone is not enough, then let's try with me added!"
With that, magnificent flames surged from Shen Fengyao's body.
The flames formed the shape of a tiger behind her before re-entering her body!
Boom!
Instantly, a powerful aura erupted from Shen Fengyao's body.
And that aura, even compared to Wu Tian's, was not much inferior!
Both Wu Tian and the Overlord Demon Emperor were shocked. The Overlord Demon Emperor exclaimed in horror, "How can this be!"
"Why do you also possess the power of the Sacred Dragon!"
Shen Fengyao said coldly, "This is a power sealed within me. I originally did not intend to activate it."
"But since I have come this far today, your scheme will not succeed!"
Seeing Shen Fengyao's current state, Wu Tian was deeply shaken.
Shen Fengyao's strength had risen to the level of a one-star Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and indeed, she contained some of the Sacred Dragon's power.
Although this power was far from his own, it was enough to pose a threat to demonic beings!
"What is going on?"
The same question swirled in Wu Tian's mind.
What exactly was Shen Fengyao's identity?
After a long silence, the Overlord Demon Emperor said grimly, "Truly unexpected."
"This seat has only just revived, and already encountered two individuals possessing the power of the Sacred Dragon."
"But for this seat, this is also a form of fortune!"
"Individuals like you will undoubtedly be a major threat to the demon race in the future."
"Therefore, to prevent you from becoming a great disaster later, you shall all die here today!"
Black energy surged, enveloping the Overlord Demon Emperor, and a scarlet light flashed in his eyes!
An extreme killing intent instantly pierced the air. Wu Tian instinctively roared, "Be careful!"
"Hahaha, too late..."
The Overlord Demon Emperor transformed into a ghastly black shadow and instantly appeared before Shen Fengyao.
And his fist, imbued with demonic energy, was hurled towards her!
Shen Fengyao quickly conjured a shield of flames before her.
But in a flash, with a thunderous roar, the fire shield was shattered!
The immense impact sent Shen Fengyao flying dozens of meters away!
