The purple beam of light had indeed engulfed Wu Tian, but it did not inflict any injury upon him.
What was even more astonishing was that the dark energy surrounding Wu Tian was continuously counteracting the destructive power of the light beam, preventing it from causing him any harm.
This situation naturally made Liu Qingbo even more enraged.
He roared and bellowed, attempting to increase his power and completely disperse the dark energy on Wu Tian.
However, Wu Tian gritted his teeth and endured it, not even taking a single step back.
The strong wind continued to howl through the garden, its force shattering the broken walls and ruins.
After a sustained period, Wu Tian suddenly let out a fierce shout!
The dark energy erupted from his body, immediately forming a dense black mist!
At the same time, Liu Qingbo's expression drastically changed!
A massive impact surged back towards him along the light beam. He had no time to react before being directly sent flying!
With the cessation of Liu Qingbo's immortal energy supply, the light beam naturally dissipated.
At this moment, the violent turbulence finally subsided.
And the one standing at the end was undoubtedly Wu Tian!
After enduring such a terrifying surge of energy, Wu Tian not only showed no signs of fatigue but appeared even more invigorated.
He looked up at the dense, swirling dark clouds in the sky and let out a soft breath.
The next second, his gaze deepened, and golden immortal energy exploded like a bomb!
Boom!
With a dull explosion, the immortal energy immediately spread outwards.
Sensing the intensity of this immortal energy, Lei Qianjiao's pretty face couldn't help but fall into a daze.
"How could something like this happen..." she murmured blankly.
With her strength and experience, she could clearly see that Wu Tian's power had once again advanced!
Although this advancement was still some distance from a true breakthrough, by all appearances, he had taken half a step towards becoming a true immortal!
Such a terrifying development was difficult for Lei Qianjiao to comprehend.
Enduring such fierce impact and still managing to break through, how could this be possible?
While Lei Qianjiao was filled with shock, all of this was within Wu Tian's expectations.
Previously, when absorbing the demonic energy of that demon, he had been struggling to find the time to digest it.
However, Liu Qingbo's actions had inadvertently helped him greatly.
The principle behind this was quite simple.
While digesting the demonic energy, Wu Tian needed to withstand immense pressure from within his body.
And when Liu Qingbo attacked him, it created a tremendous external pressure.
As these two pressures clashed, Wu Tian used the Qiankun Da Nuo Yi (Great Shifting of Heaven and Earth) to maneuver, causing them to continuously cancel each other out.
Therefore, in this evolution, the situation completely became a confrontation between Liu Qingbo and the demonic energy.
However, this approach was an extremely dangerous gamble for Wu Tian.
After all, he wasn't entirely certain if the Qiankun Da Nuo Yi could truly handle such a massive energy operation.
If it failed, with internal and external collapse, even as a true immortal, he would likely not escape death.
Fortunately, he ultimately succeeded.
The energy of the demonic energy had now been fully absorbed into his body.
Although this improvement did not allow him to achieve a true breakthrough, he estimated that with his current strength, if he were to face the combined entity of the previous demon and the Thunder God Puppet again, he would likely not be in a difficult fight.
The increase in strength made Wu Tian feel refreshed.
He then retracted his aura into his body and walked towards Liu Qingbo, smiling:
"It seems you failed. What a pity."
Liu Qingbo was curled up on the ground, unable to stand.
His transformation had already carried significant side effects for him.
Now, after suffering such severe impact, his body could no longer withstand it.
He felt his muscles tearing apart on their own, experiencing bone-piercing pain at all times, like suffering in hell.
However, at this moment, compared to the fear in his heart, this pain seemed less significant to Liu Qingbo.
He looked at Wu Tian in horror and said tremblingly, "Monster... you're a monster! Don't come closer!"
Wu Tian smiled at him and said, "Monster? I'm afraid if we're talking about monsters, compared to you, I'm insignificant."
"I told you before, this was your last chance, but it seems you didn't seize it successfully."
"Since that's the case, let's proceed according to the plan."
"You can go and accompany your Brother Sun now."
Seeing that Wu Tian was about to kill him, Liu Qingbo was terrified to the point of his courage breaking.
He endured the severe pain in his body and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait! I have something to say!"
"I've already become like this, why won't you let me go!"
"I know, I'm a beast, I made mistakes, but I don't deserve to die!"
"So please let me go!"
"I promise, from now on, whenever I see you, I'll go around you, and I'll never be an eyesore in front of you!"
"Isn't that enough!"
Hearing his words, Wu Tian raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that so?"
"Since you say so, I'd like to ask you something in return."
"If our positions were reversed, and I lost to you, would you let me go?"
"This..."
Hearing Wu Tian's sudden question, Liu Qingbo immediately felt awkward and didn't know how to respond.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "See, it seems you didn't intend to let me go either."
"So, why should I spare your life?"
"This is unfair, and it's unreasonable."
"Your time has come. There's no need for more nonsense. Let's end it here."
With that, Wu Tian's hand moved slightly, and the Ben Lei Sword appeared in his hand.
He glanced at Lei Qianjiao, then casually waved his hand, tossing the Ben Lei Sword to Lei Qianjiao, and said slowly:
"It's up to you."
After catching the Ben Lei Sword, Lei Qianjiao was stunned.
She looked at Wu Tian with confusion and asked, "Wu Tian, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "He's not wrong. The enmity between him and me hasn't reached a point where I must kill him."
"So, having you do this is the most appropriate."
"How about it, I've given you the chance now. Do you want to kill him yourself?"
