The emergence of this dragon's roar caught Thor by surprise.
Soon, a massive golden sonic wave enveloped the black energy, completely sealing off its movements.
Seeing this, Thor did not hesitate.
He let out a loud shout and forcefully pointed his scepter at the black energy!
A giant hand condensed from lightning stretched out from the sky and firmly grasped the black energy!
Following that, the hand transformed, becoming an exquisite cage that trapped the black energy within.
The black energy repeatedly slammed against the cage, but it was unable to break free.
A ferocious skeletal face emerged from the black energy, and that face was clearly that of the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor!
"Finally, I have you trapped," Thor sighed.
"If you were to escape again this time, all the efforts made previously would be in vain."
As he spoke, his body became even more ethereal.
Clearly, his forceful intervention had inflicted greater damage upon him.
Thor walked on air, reaching the cage in a single step.
He looked at the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor and said, "Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, do you truly think I don't know your tricks?"
"Your so-called immortality is merely the retention of a hidden demonic seed."
"Now that the demonic seed is trapped by me, you will never be able to cultivate a new body again."
The Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor appeared both furious and terrified within the cage.
It frantically tried to escape, but in its current form, it clearly possessed no real power.
Thus, it ended up crashing into obstacles everywhere, with no possibility of escape.
Subsequently, Thor looked at Wu Tian with admiration and nodded, saying:
"Wu Tian, I am truly indebted to you this time. If you hadn't intervened promptly, it would have likely escaped again."
Wu Tian cupped his fists and replied, "Lord Thor, you need not say such things. This is what I should do."
"If it were allowed to escape, it would eventually become a great menace."
"Therefore, no matter what, I must keep it here."
Thor nodded and smiled, "What a fine young fellow. I am very pleased with you."
"With an inheritor like you, I can rest assured as I depart."
"What?" Hearing this, Wu Tian was stunned. He then recalled the words of the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.
His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Thor, is there truly no other way?"
"Is your current action, as the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor said, truly a last resort?"
Thor nodded without reservation and said, "That is correct."
"In order to restore my strength to its former level, I have already damaged the very essence of the Thunder God Immortal Realm."
"In one year, the Thunder God Immortal Realm will be completely annihilated."
Wu Tian clearly could not accept this news.
He then continued, "If we could think of a way, is there still a possibility of reviving you?"
Thor shook his head and laughed freely, "There is no such possibility."
"I myself have already perished. Without the existence of the Thunder God Immortal Realm, I wouldn't even be able to preserve my energy form."
"Revival is a mere illusion, and I have never considered such a thing, so you need not waste your efforts on this."
"How could this be..." Wu Tian showed a look of regret.
Regardless, Thor was a peak expert at the Immortal King level, and could even be considered his master.
Upon learning that Thor would completely dissipate, he found it unbearable.
Seeing Wu Tian's expression, Thor smiled faintly, "Young fellow, you need not be so sad."
"Although I will disappear from this world, your existence is a blessing to this world."
"My inheritance is only of moderate value to you; the Sacred Dragon Power within you is the truly great existence."
"Therefore, my demise or not is irrelevant. The crucial thing is that you must survive."
"The demon race will inevitably return, and at that time, the burden of saving all living beings will fall entirely upon your shoulders."
Hearing this, Wu Tian's eyes immediately became resolute.
He said earnestly to Thor, "Lord Thor, rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure I do not fail this mission!"
Thor was very pleased with Wu Tian's attitude. He smiled and said,
"Since you have such resolve, I shall bestow upon you another fortune before I fade away."
With that, he turned to the others and announced loudly,
"Everyone, I apologize for involving you in this catastrophe. You may now leave the Thunder God Immortal Realm."
Without waiting for their thoughts, he gently waved his scepter, and beams of light immediately descended from the sky, enveloping everyone.
Soon, the beams of light carried everyone away from the Thunder God Immortal Realm, leaving only Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao behind.
Thor continued to speak to Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, you possess the Sacred Dragon Power, which means you have the ability to devour demon cores, correct?"
"Now I wish to ask you, are you interested in the demon core of this Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
"What did you say?!" Thor's words made Wu Tian suddenly exclaim in shock.
He looked at Thor incredulously and asked, "Are you suggesting... that I absorb the demon core of the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor?"
Thor nodded and said, "That is correct. That is my intention."
Wu Tian found Thor's words utterly unbelievable.
After all, he was merely a low-grade True Immortal at the moment!
And the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor was an existence comparable to Thor.
How could his body possibly absorb such immense energy?
Even with the Great Shift of the Universe as a boon, he would likely explode upon mere contact.
Thor naturally understood his thoughts and continued, "Of course, you need not feel strange about this."
"If I can say this, it is naturally because I have my confidence."
"The reason you cannot absorb the Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's demon core is ultimately because your body cannot withstand it."
"But have you ever considered that if your body were to be enhanced, you might have this possibility?"
"Enhance my body? That seems unlikely," Wu Tian said, feeling confused, and then shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Lord Thor, but I don't seem to understand what you are saying."
Thor said, "It's actually very simple. You just need to pass a trial."
"Although this trial is extremely dangerous, if you can successfully pass it, your body will undoubtedly receive a great enhancement."
"There is such a thing?" Wu Tian's heart stirred, and he then asked,
"Then may I ask, Lord Thor, what is this so-called trial?"
Thor laughed heartily and said, "It's nothing much. You simply need to endure the baptism of one hundred thousand heavenly lightning bolts!"
