The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor smiled faintly and said, "This is special treatment for you."
"As long as you agree, you can live today. I hope you make the right choice."
"The right... choice?"
Wu Tian chuckled softly, then suddenly drew his Thunderclap Sword and unleashed a beam of sword energy towards the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor!
"Do you think this is the right choice?"
The sword energy abruptly vanished as it approached the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor.
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "What a pity. I was quite optimistic about you."
"Since that's the case, you are no longer worth keeping alive."
"Even with your excellent talent, you must perish here today!"
Wu Tian said nothing more, swallowed another Qi Replenishing Pill, and then pointed his sword at the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, stating,
"I've been waiting for you to say that!"
"One of us must die today. As for who it will be, let the outcome speak for itself!"
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor shook his head again and said,
"You are not qualified to speak to me like that, but I am willing to give you an opportunity."
"Unleash your most powerful move now."
"If you can repel me, then not only you, but everyone else can leave here today. What do you think?"
Wu Tian was slightly taken aback by these words, then said in a deep voice, "Are you playing with me?"
"What if you go back on your word later?"
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor replied, "Go back on my word? No, you are not important enough for me to do such a thing."
"Moreover, do you think you have any other choice in front of me?"
"If you want to save them, you can only do as I say."
"Otherwise, I'm sure you know in your heart that you have no chance at all, don't you?"
Wu Tian fell silent.
Because what the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor said was not wrong. With his current strength, he truly had no chance.
Even if he were to ascend to the True Immortal realm on the spot, his chances would still be slim.
He looked up towards the cliff.
At this moment, the people from the Sacred Thunder Palace were engaged in a fierce battle with the demonic creatures.
Not only that, but the Thunder God Puppets that had been patrolling the city had also joined the fray.
He saw Lei Qianjiao fighting two demonic creatures with the strength of high-grade Immortals all by herself.
Facing such opponents, Lei Qianjiao was completely overwhelmed and had fallen into a perilous situation.
Therefore, no matter what, Wu Tian had no choice but to consider the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor's proposal.
If he gambled, perhaps there was still a chance.
But if he lacked the courage to even try, then all of them would surely die today!
With this thought, Wu Tian knew he had no more room to retreat.
He let out a deep breath, then fixed his solemn gaze on the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor and nodded, saying,
"I understand."
"I will unleash my strongest attack next."
"If I succeed, then please do not go back on your word."
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor nodded and said, "No problem. It seems you still have some tricks up your sleeve."
"Then let me enjoy the show."
Wu Tian said no more. He gently closed his eyes, and the immortal energy within him began to circulate rapidly.
At this moment, a golden dragon pattern appeared on his forehead, emitting a sacred and brilliant light.
"Hm?"
Sensing the completely different aura emanating from Wu Tian, the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor let out a sound of confusion.
Within the black hood, two faint green lights flickered like will-o'-the-wisps.
As the immortal energy condensed more and more, Wu Tian seemed to be enduring immense pain, his brow furrowed tightly.
Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open, and brilliant golden light shot out from them!
A great and majestic aura erupted from his body.
That aura contained the majesty of dominion over all!
For a moment, even the dark clouds in the sky dispersed!
"How can this be! Could it be... the aura of the Sacred Dragon?!"
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, who had been nonchalant all along, finally began to show signs of panic.
Clearly, the aura Wu Tian unleashed had deeply intimidated it.
A memory it did not wish to recall surfaced in its mind.
Its body suddenly trembled, and it said in disbelief,
"Could this fellow... possess the power of the Sacred Dragon?!"
As this thought emerged, even the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor felt a deep shiver.
Its surrounding aura began to fluctuate violently.
At this critical juncture, Wu Tian seized the opportunity, opened his mouth towards the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, and let out a world-shattering dragon roar!
This dragon roar echoed throughout the entire Sacred Thunder City, completely stunning the demonic creatures that were launching their attacks.
Simultaneously, a golden sonic wave surged upwards, directly engulfing the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor!
"It's the Sacred Dragon Sky-Reaching Roar?!"
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor shouted this out almost in a scream!
Its usual composure was shattered, and it was momentarily too slow to condense its black energy!
The golden sonic wave, carrying immense power, reached the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor in an instant.
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor blocked with its hands, and the overwhelming energy actually made it feel strained!
"How can this be!"
"The Sacred Dragon is already dead! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"How can this fellow possess the power of the Sacred Dragon!"
Chaotic thoughts raged within the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor's mind!
New black energy condensed around it, but the Sacred Dragon's power clearly had a purifying effect on the black energy.
Thus, as soon as the demonic energy was generated, it was immediately dispersed!
This situation presented Wu Tian with an opportunity.
At this moment, he could no longer hold back.
Clenching his fists tightly, as if squeezing the very life force from himself, he let out an even higher-level roar!
Instantly, a violent explosion resounded through the sky!
The ferocious gust of wind swept everything in its path, and the dark clouds within a thousand-meter radius were completely scattered!
Beyond the dark clouds lay a clear and vast void, and the entire sky became illuminated.
As this apocalyptic turmoil subsided, Wu Tian looked at the Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor still suspended in the sky and let out a heavy sigh.
Then, he said with a mocking tone,
"Now, do you have anything else to say?"
The Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor had not sustained any substantial damage.
It was slightly taken aback, looked down at its feet, and then was shocked to discover that half of its body had already been pushed back!
