On the battlefield of the Yao Realm, the explosion of Yao Dan's self-destruction swept across the area. Anyone caught in the shockwave, except for a handful of exceptionally powerful individuals, was instantly reduced to ashes.
A self-destruction of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng—its terrifying might was nothing short of earth-shattering.
It took a full quarter of an hour before the aftermath of the explosion gradually dissipated. The first thing Hun Jing and Hun Yan did was turn their gaze toward the direction where Mo Yu and his group had fled.
However, that place was now completely empty. Clearly, Mo Yu and the others had escaped through a spatial rift.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Hun Jing's expression darkened as he cursed under his breath. Then, he suddenly reached out toward the spot where Yao Dan had self-destructed. In an instant, a streak of brilliance shot toward him and transformed into an ancient jade.
It was none other than the Tuo She Ancient Jade that the Yao Clan had possessed.
"The Yao Clan's Tuo She Ancient Jade is in our hands. Now, all that remains is to gather the bloodline power of the Yao Clan.
"As for Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, outside the Yao Realm, Hun Sha and Hun Tu are guarding the area. Send them a message—they must intercept and kill Mo Yu and Xiao Yan!" Hun Yan commanded coldly.
Hundreds of miles away from the Shenglong Mountain Range, space suddenly twisted, and a spatial rift appeared. Immediately after, several figures rushed out one after another.
As soon as they escaped the Yao Realm, Mo Yu wiped his fingers across his beast ring, releasing Yao Lao, Gu He, and hundreds of young geniuses from the Yao Clan.
"We've escaped the Yao Realm, but we're still not safe yet. Everyone, stay vigilant," Mo Yu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the rescued young members of the Yao Clan knelt toward the distant mountain range, their faces full of sorrow. Among them, several dozen young women couldn't help but sob softly. Having lived under the protection of the Yao Clan all their lives, they had never experienced such helplessness and despair.
"Lord Mo, we can never repay your great kindness. As per the patriarch's orders, from this day forward, we swear to follow your command!"
A young man from the Yao Clan turned around and bowed deeply to Mo Yu, speaking with unwavering determination. Around him, the other Yao Clan members also clasped their fists, pledging their allegiance.
"Rest assured, since Patriarch Yao Dan entrusted you to me, I will take full responsibility. There are still some of your Yao Clan elders in Yuan Manor—when we arrive, you will reunite with them and stay there together," Mo Yu reassured them.
Though the Yao Clan had been destroyed, with these young elites surviving, there was still hope for its revival in the future. However, that future Yao Clan could only exist under Yuan Manor's rule.
Hearing Mo Yu's words, none of the Yao Clan members objected. With their clan wiped out, they no longer had any support. If their whereabouts were exposed, not only would they be hunted by the Hun Clan, but even the great powers of Central Plains would covet them. Given the circumstances, joining Yuan Manor was their best option.
"What should we do next?" Yao Lao sighed and asked.
"The Hun Clan is too ruthless. Many elders and sect masters from Central Plains factions were also killed by them. Once this news spreads, the Hun Clan will become the enemy of all forces. Therefore, I must visit the Gu Clan to discuss a plan against them," Xiao Yan said, his eyes deep in thought.
"Yes, Cousin Xiao Yan is right. The Hun Clan has gone mad, massacring the ancient clans. It's time for us to unite. Since you're going to the Gu Clan, I'll head to the Lei Clan," Mo Yu said.
With Yuan Manor's current strength, it was far from enough to challenge the Hun Clan. The best strategy was to rally the remaining ancient clans.
"Alright, then let's part ways here," Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.
After settling their plans, Mo Yu turned to Gu He and pointed to the young members of the Yao Clan. "Take them back to Yuan Manor first and arrange everything. Raise the defensive level to the highest, secretly relocate what needs to be moved, and have everyone remain cautious."
Gu He hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. With his current strength, he wouldn't be much help if he followed Mo Yu. In fact, he might even become a burden.
After finishing his instructions, Mo Yu handed the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear to Gu He. With this weapon protecting them, unless the Hun Clan's Four Demon Saints personally intervened, Gu He and the others would be safe.
"The Shenglong Mountain Range is no longer safe. Mo Yu, my young friend, I will accompany you to Yuan Manor," Elder Shen Nong suddenly said.
He had once been close to Yao Dan, and now, with the Hun Clan targeting him, he couldn't afford to be alone. If discovered, he would be in grave danger.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned but then overjoyed. Elder Shen Nong was not only a Six-Star Dou Sheng but also a profound grade alchemist, second to none.
If he stayed in Yuan Manor, its strength would grow immensely—a situation Mo Yu was more than happy to see.
"In that case, let's move out!"
Seeing that Xiao Yan and Yao Lao had also finalized their plans, Mo Yu nodded at Xiao Yan before the two of them headed toward their respective destinations.
Once they left, Yao Lao and Gu He wasted no time either, leading their respective groups toward Yuan Manor and the Sky Mansion Alliance.
On the road to the Lei Clan, Mo Yu's expression suddenly changed. He turned sharply, his gaze locking onto a distant mountaintop.
There, a figure carrying a dark red ghost-headed broadsword was leaning against an ancient tree, his scarlet eyes resembling a sea of blood.
"…Oh? You've noticed me, huh?"
Sensing Mo Yu's gaze, the figure grinned wickedly, his murderous aura surging in an instant.
"I didn't expect anyone could actually tear through the spatial seal placed by Lord Xu Wu."
The figure took a step forward, appearing in midair. Looking down at Mo Yu, he bared his sharp, beast-like white teeth, his chilling aura making the air tremble.
"Allow me to introduce myself—I am Hun Sha, one of the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan.
"You must be Mo Yu. I heard even old Hun Yan suffered at your hands. As expected of someone with the Lei Clan's divine-grade bloodline."
"Oh? So you're one of the Four Demon Saints," Mo Yu smirked. "This is going to be troublesome."
Then, his smile turned cold. "Enough nonsense. Let's fight!"
Hearing Mo Yu's arrogant words, Hun Sha's brow furrowed. The ghost-headed broadsword in his hands suddenly slashed down, unleashing a thousand-foot-long crimson blade arc that tore through the sky toward Mo Yu.
"Clang!"
The blade light shot forward like lightning, but just before reaching Mo Yu, he crossed his arms, forcefully catching the attack head-on.
"Boom!"
Although he blocked it, the immense force still sent him crashing into the mountain below. The impact shattered an entire peak, sending massive boulders tumbling as a deafening roar echoed through the land.
Failing to land a decisive blow, Hun Sha showed no sign of disappointment. Instead, a bloodthirsty grin crept onto his lips. Without hesitation, he took a forceful step forward, and in an instant, his figure appeared right before Mo Yu. The blood-colored greatsword in his hand slashed down once more, tearing through space at an astonishing speed as it aimed straight for Mo Yu's throat.
As the crimson glow rapidly expanded in his pupils, Mo Yu let out a cold snort. With a firm grasp of his palm, his Dou Qi surged violently, condensing into a massive thunder spear. Without any attempt to evade, he met Hun Sha's strike head-on.
"Clang!"
Blade and spear clashed, unleashing a shockwave of razor-sharp energy.
At the moment of impact, the mountain peak beneath them split cleanly in two from top to bottom, crashing to the ground with a deafening roar. The entire mountain range trembled from the force.
Mo Yu's body was sent flying backward for hundreds of meters, a metallic taste rising in his throat. Yet, his eyes shone with excitement—Xiao Jin had sensed his danger and had unexpectedly transmitted all the remaining unrefined energy of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder to him.
"Boom!"
As the last surge of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder fused into his body, Mo Yu's clothes instantly disintegrated into ashes.
Golden lightning erupted from beneath his skin, and an indescribably vast power surged within him like an unrelenting tide. As the energy continued to pour out, it eventually condensed over his body, forming a set of golden lightning armor.
"Such pure energy…"
Under the refinement of this immense energy, Mo Yu's entire body trembled uncontrollably. It felt as if he had swallowed several ancient dragons, the power raging through him like a torrential flood, fiercely tempering every inch of his being.
Even with his half-step Dou Di-level soul power, he struggled to keep up with the intensity of the energy.
"Again!"
Feeling the surging power within, Mo Yu showed no fear of Hun Sha. His figure flickered, appearing right before his opponent.
Clad in his golden thunder armor, wielding his massive lightning spear, Mo Yu abandoned all technique, choosing instead to unleash an unrelenting barrage of powerful thrusts.
The terrifying energy condensed into spear shadows thousands of meters long. Wherever the spear light swept, mountains were split in two.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Hun Sha's expression darkened as he faced Mo Yu's sudden rampage. He wielded his blood blade with furious speed, leaving behind streaks of afterimages as he parried each thunderous strike.
However, with every collision, his body was forced back by hundreds of meters. A grim look surfaced in his eyes—he hadn't expected Mo Yu to possess such raw strength beyond the devastating thunder orb technique.
"I'd like to see how long you can keep this up! This power isn't something you can control at will!"
Despite being momentarily overwhelmed, Hun Sha remained eerily calm. While fending off the attacks, he sneered coldly.
Mo Yu, however, paid no heed to his taunts. As he continued his fierce assault, his mind was already working on an escape plan.
Having witnessed Hun Yan's downfall firsthand, this opponent was surely prepared for the Nine Extreme Thunder Orb. Replicating his previous success wouldn't be easy. The gap between him and a Seven-Star Dou Sheng was simply too vast, making it nearly impossible to restrict Hun Sha's movements.
"Clang!"
Another devastating thrust crashed down like a mountain, causing Hun Sha's arm to go numb. His body was sent hurtling back a thousand meters, reducing several mountain peaks to dust along the way. His face grew increasingly grim.
"Hun Sha, the next time we meet, I will take your worthless life!"
With a cold laugh, Mo Yu retracted his spear and flared the demonic phoenix wings on his back. In a flash, he turned and shot off toward another direction.
"Boom!"
Hun Sha spun around and delivered a furious kick to a nearby mountain peak. Cracks spread across its surface before it finally exploded into rubble. Only then did he steady himself, his face dark as he glared in the direction Mo Yu had fled. He let out a low, venomous growl.
"Damn little bastard! No matter where you run, I will hunt you down! I'll skin you alive and strip your soul!"
The moment his vengeful roar faded, Hun Sha's figure transformed into a blood-colored streak of light, chasing after Mo Yu with relentless speed. He had no intention of letting him escape!
…
For hours, the chase continued across the skies.
In that time, the two had crossed half of Central Plains. Though their battle alarmed many powerful experts along the way, no one dared to interfere under the overwhelming aura of Hun Sha. They could only watch as the two figures streaked past the horizon.
As time dragged on, Mo Yu's heart sank. He could vaguely sense that after absorbing the final surge of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, he was on the verge of breaking through to Six-Star Dou Sheng. However, with Hun Sha relentlessly on his tail, he had no opportunity to stop and advance his cultivation.
"Whoosh!"
Just as he was considering his next move, a blood-red arc suddenly tore through the space above, narrowly grazing past his head.
"Mo Yu, let's see where else you can run!"
A sinister voice echoed as space rippled. Hun Sha burst forth, his face twisted with malice. With a flick of his blood blade, an enormous blood-red arc thousands of meters wide split through the sky, cleaving down toward Mo Yu with earth-shattering force.
As the monstrous energy closed in, Mo Yu's expression turned impossibly grim. Just as he prepared to unleash the Nine Extreme Thunder Orb in a desperate attempt to counter it, a massive tree branch, as dark as tempered iron, suddenly shot out of nowhere, shielding him from the attack.
"Boom!"
Strangely, instead of a violent explosion, the moment the colossal blood arc struck the tree branch, a mysterious green light rippled across its surface, effortlessly absorbing the devastating attack.
Mo Yu was momentarily stunned. His gaze quickly shifted to the distance, where a massive, ancient tree loomed several thousand meters away. Its sprawling canopy cast a shadow over the vast land, exuding an aura of primal majesty that commanded awe and reverence.
Recognizing the enormous tree, Mo Yu's eyes lit up with delight.
"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree!"
