The collision continued, deafening impacts echoing through the sky.
After countless clashes, the two sides finally separated, each occupying a corner.
The Demon Lord maintained a calm demeanor, his grace undiminished.
On the other side, Wu Tian and Su Qian Nai were both panting, appearing significantly depleted.
"Is this your full strength?" the Demon Lord chuckled indifferently. "As expected, the Divine Realm is still just the Divine Realm. Before me, it is nothing."
Wu Tian stabilized his divine power, his gaze growing increasingly grim.
He had already overestimated the Demon Lord, yet the latter's formidable strength still surpassed his imagination.
At this moment, if he wanted to win, he could only gamble.
There was no other way!
With this thought, a decisive look flashed in Wu Tian's eyes. He suddenly looked into Su Qian Nai's eyes and said, "Give me all your power."
"What?" This proposal caught Su Qian Nai off guard.
Wu Tian offered no explanation. "You know his strength. Give me your power, let me gamble."
"Otherwise, none of us will have a chance!"
Su Qian Nai was a sensible person. She also knew that the Demon Lord was an insurmountable foe for both of them.
If Wu Tian had a plan, she could only follow his lead.
With that in mind, she nodded, then directly released her divine power, injecting it all into Wu Tian's body.
Wu Tian converted this power with his Sacred Dragon might, then fiercely swung his Sacred Dragon Demon-Slaying Spear. His aura surged once more!
Seeing this, the Demon Lord smiled. "What, planning to fight to the death already? Isn't that a bit too soon?"
Wu Tian did not reply. He closed his eyes, circulating the vast energy within him, then opened them abruptly and roared, "Sacred Dragon Ultimate Technique! Dragon Soars Through Nine Heavens!"
With a thunderous roar, Wu Tian's body actually exploded!
And within that radiance, a colossal dragon ascended into the sky!
"Oh?" The Demon Lord revealed an amused smile upon witnessing this.
"Sacred Dragon True Form, is it? It's been a long time."
"Since you intend to use such a move against me, it is a great fortune for me."
"After all, killing you is uninteresting. But slaying a Sacred Dragon, that would be the most exhilarating thing for me..."
As he spoke, demonic energy condensed into a ferocious great saber in the Demon Lord's hand.
A terrifying aura flowed from the saber, clearly indicating it was not an ordinary weapon but a skill unleashed by the Demon Lord.
Wu Tian let out a world-shattering dragon's roar, his body enveloped in blazing flames. He then pierced through the void, charging directly at the Demon Lord!
This was a charge with no turning back; Wu Tian was intending to sacrifice himself!
All beings widened their eyes, hot tears streaming down their faces.
This act of righteous sacrifice stirred in them an urge to kneel before Wu Tian!
However, facing this seemingly unstoppable giant dragon, the Demon Lord remained unfazed.
A cold glint shot from his eyes, followed by a booming shout, "Overestimating yourself! If that's the case, then taste the might of my God-Slaying Demon Blade!"
The Demon Lord fiercely cleaved his demonic blade!
In an instant, a thousand-zhang wide blade aura swept out, colliding fiercely with Wu Tian!
"Roar!"
Suffering such a powerful blow, Wu Tian let out a piercing scream!
Cracks spread across the giant dragon's body!
Following that, golden light erupted, and Wu Tian's form underwent a violent explosion!
This scene caused everyone to turn pale with shock. The hearts that had been hanging in their throats plummeted into despair!
The Sacred Dragon was Wu Tian's transformation. With the Sacred Dragon destroyed, it meant... Wu Tian was dead!
"This..."
Everyone found it hard to believe. Their faces turned ashen, and they slumped to the ground, defeated.
It was over, everything was over...
"Hahaha... I told you you were overestimating yourself, how foolish!"
"A mere Divine Realm dares to oppose me, this is your fate!"
As this triumphant laughter echoed, dark energy once again enveloped the entire planet.
The demon race's morale soared, launching a full-scale assault.
The world was indeed developing into the scene of purgatory that Wu Tian had foreseen.
But just then, something incredible happened!
From the heart of the heavens, a magnificent radiance suddenly bloomed, and within this light, a towering figure stood like a deity!
This turn of events startled even the Demon Lord. He looked at the light, his pupils constricting sharply!
For the one standing within the light was none other than Wu Tian!
"What is going on!"
The Demon Lord actually showed a look of horror. "You're not dead? How can you possibly be resurrected!"
Wu Tian, bathed in light, appeared incredibly majestic.
Though his voice was soft, it resonated throughout the cosmos. "I also didn't expect this to happen. I thought I should have died."
"But thanks to you, I have finally understood what I truly am."
"I am the manifestation of heaven and earth. When my body was shattered by you, I returned to the heavens and have now gained the power of the entire universe."
"No wonder the Sacred Dragon said I was the only hope."
"He was right, I am indeed the only one who can defeat you."
"This farce, spanning so many years, must end today."
"Demon Lord, your existence is inherently wrong. From now on, let your schemes and your life be shattered together beneath heaven and earth!"
The majesty emanating from Wu Tian made even the Demon Lord feel immense fear.
He found it hard to believe, and in his madness, he roared at Wu Tian, "No! It shouldn't be like this!"
"I waited so long to finally reach this day, how can it all be ruined by you!"
"What nonsense about heaven and earth, I don't believe it! You're just putting on a show!"
Despite his words, he unleashed his demonic energy to its fullest, adopting a stance of desperate combat.
However, Wu Tian's expression remained unchanged.
A pure white light sword materialized in his hand. Without a word, he raised the sword high, like a deity capable of cleaving all.
An ultimate aura surged towards the Demon Lord, making him feel as though his heart would stop beating.
Facing this spectacle, he was now afraid, completely losing his will to fight!
His gaze flickered, and he then shouted, "You want to kill me? It won't be that easy!"
With that, the Demon Lord, in his capacity as the Demon Lord, suddenly shot up into the sky, clearly intending to flee!
Wu Tian had no intention of pursuing. But suddenly, chains formed from light shot out from the void, binding the Demon Lord tightly!
The Demon Lord was horrified, unable to break free no matter how much he struggled.
He looked at Wu Tian, his face filled with terror, and hastily pleaded, "Wait, wait!"
"I know I was wrong."
"Spare me, and I promise I will never come to this world again. I promise!"
Seeing him now, begging for mercy, he was hardly worthy of the name Demon Lord.
But Wu Tian gave him no chance. The light sword in his hand mercilessly descended.
Instantly, heaven and earth roared in unison. The vast, boundless power of heaven and earth surged towards the Demon Lord like a torrent of light!
"No! No! No!!!"
The Demon Lord let out a piercing scream, but even his body could not withstand the impact of such a torrent.
And when the torrent vanished, the Demon Lord had also disappeared from existence.
"Everything... is over..."
Wu Tian whispered softly. With a casual sweep of his light sword, countless beams of light descended from the sky, immediately destroying all the demonic creatures on the ground.
Thus, the crisis brought by the demon race finally came to an end.
Throughout heaven and earth, countless eyes watched Wu Tian, their gazes filled with awe and reverence, as if looking upon a true deity!
Wu Tian hovered in the sky, his gaze sweeping downwards, his heart devoid of joy or sorrow.
He had returned to heaven and earth, no longer the village doctor from Peach Blossom Village.
The Great Dao was emotionless. He knew that his mission was complete, and from now on, all beings in this world would have nothing to do with him.
The cold wind howled past, seemingly carrying away the ordinary youth he once was.
Past memories faded, all things like a song carried by the wind.
Like fate, yet not quite.
Wu Tian said no more. He soon turned, transforming into vast points of light, disappearing into the myriad realms.
At this moment, the dark clouds covering the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a crystal-clear firmament.
The sky cleared.
The world remained beautiful.
