Bang!
The oppressive pressure descended, causing the ground around Wu Tian to immediately collapse!
Under such circumstances, Wu Tian lost his balance, feeling as if his body had suddenly shrunk, his upper half caving downwards.
But just as his legs were about to buckle, he forcibly braced one leg, managing to maintain a half-kneeling posture.
His eyes burned with immense hatred, and on his brow, a sacred dragon emblem slowly emerged, radiating a powerful light.
Sun Yu could no longer bear to watch.
He directed his palm towards Wu Tian and said coldly, "I've lost the patience to play with you any longer. Since you're so stubborn, I'll just finish you off."
"This is all your own doing. If you want to regret it, I advise you to do so in the afterlife."
As he spoke, a crimson glow flickered in Sun Yu's hand.
Instantly, the surrounding temperature rose significantly.
Clearly, Sun Yu primarily cultivated fire-attribute immortal energy, and he was now intent on completely eradicating Wu Tian.
Watching the crimson light grow brighter, Wu Tian let out a heaven-shattering roar!
He felt an overwhelming surge of anger!
If he were to die for any other reason, it would be one thing, but to die at Sun Yu's hands today, he would never accept it! He absolutely refused to accept it!
In the center of his forehead, the dragon pattern flickered with increasing frequency.
Faintly, the sound of a dragon's roar could be heard.
But Sun Yu paid no mind to these details. He coldly condensed his immortal energy, and the moment the immortal energy was complete, the crimson light violently surged towards Wu Tian!
Before the light even truly touched him, Wu Tian felt his skin about to burn.
He continued to roar in fury, and suddenly, golden light erupted from his eyes!
In that instant, he felt as if he had broken through some kind of barrier. The previously depleted immortal energy within him began to surge wildly, filling his limbs and bones!
Sun Yu finally sensed something was amiss, but before he could investigate, the red light struck Wu Tian, followed by a massive explosion.
Waves of heat spread outwards, and the onlookers outside the domain stared in stunned silence.
Though they did not wish to see such a thing, under such an attack, they found it incredibly difficult to imagine how Wu Tian could possibly survive.
This man, who had consistently performed miracles, had ultimately failed to create an even greater one.
Everyone couldn't help but let out sighs of regret.
No one present supported the thuggish actions of Sun Yu and his ilk, so Wu Tian's resistance was, in fact, what they most wished they could do themselves.
But now Wu Tian was dead, and justice had ultimately failed to triumph over evil.
The atmosphere fell into a profound silence, everyone rendered speechless, their expressions growing somber.
Sun Yu, however, showed no signs of relaxation; instead, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
"This guy..." he exclaimed in disbelief, but before he could finish his sentence, a fierce aura erupted from Wu Tian's previous location!
A violent gust of wind immediately swept outwards, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically as they quickly shifted their gaze towards Wu Tian.
The dust was blown away by the force, and at that spot, a figure stood erect, their posture as unyielding as a spear.
Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils involuntarily widened.
At this moment, they could not believe their own eyes, and many instinctively rubbed them.
It was Wu Tian!
Despite enduring such an attack, Wu Tian was still alive!
Sun Yu was also stunned, clearly unable to accept this turn of events.
He stared intently at Wu Tian, who stood bare-chested, all traces of blood having vanished.
He was a completely different person from his earlier weakened and listless state – no, he had even surpassed his previous level!
"How is this possible..."
Such a situation was undoubtedly terrifying for anyone to witness.
Even a high-grade immortal like Sun Yu couldn't help but take a step back.
Wu Tian's expression, however, was remarkably calm. He clenched his fist, then stomped his right foot, unleashing an unprecedented aura that rippled outwards from his body.
Sensing this aura, the onlookers let out cries of astonishment: "Mid-grade?! He's actually reached mid-grade? How could this happen?!"
That's right, the aura emanating from Wu Tian at this moment unequivocally belonged to a mid-grade immortal.
Under the immense pressure, he had, through his astonishing willpower, managed to prevent his body from being destroyed.
And such an experience was undoubtedly the best form of cultivation!
His strength had already been close to that of a mid-grade immortal, requiring only a catalyst to achieve a true breakthrough.
Sun Yu's attack had, for him, been the perfect catalyst, thus he had benefited from misfortune, his strength leaping forward once again.
Of course, a significant portion of his ability to achieve this was also due to the sacred dragon bloodline within him.
Without the sacred dragon bloodline, he likely would not only have failed to break through but would have been utterly annihilated by Sun Yu.
He exhaled deeply, feeling an unparalleled sense of clarity, as if every pore in his body had become more receptive.
Then, he looked at Sun Yu again, his expression icy as he said, "I've disappointed you. It seems I'm not dead yet."
Sun Yu finally managed to recover from his daze.
But he still couldn't believe what he was seeing, and so he asked in shock, "You... what exactly happened to you?!"
"How could you possibly do this? It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Impossible? Perhaps it's impossible for you, but for me, nothing is impossible."
"In fact, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have broken through so smoothly?"
Sun Yu knew Wu Tian was mocking him. He was furious to the point of exploding, his expression completely distorted, making him look particularly terrifying.
He said fiercely, "You have indeed surprised me, but so what?"
"Do you really think that just because you've broken through to mid-grade immortal, you have the ability to contend with me?"
"Let me tell you, you're dreaming!"
Wu Tian smiled faintly, his words soft yet exuding immense confidence.
"Why couldn't I?"
