"Bodhisattva Ancient Tree!"
A towering tree that seemed to stand between heaven and earth appeared before Mo Yu. It was thousands of feet tall, exuding an ancient and overwhelming aura.
"Bodhisattva Ancient Tree..." Hun Sha's expression darkened as he stared at the colossal tree. He had never expected that, at such a crucial moment, an ancient tree would suddenly intervene.
"Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, my target is only him. Do not interfere in this matter. Otherwise, if you provoke my clan's patriarch, even you won't be able to bear the consequences!" Hun Sha threatened.
However, despite his intimidation, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree remained motionless. Just as Hun Sha was about to breathe a sigh of relief, assuming that the tree had been deterred, massive branches, each a hundred feet long, suddenly swayed like vines and surged toward him.
"Not good!"
Seeing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree launch an attack, Hun Sha's face changed drastically. He could feel a terrifying power emanating from these enormous branches, a power that seemed to surpass even that of a Saint-level expert.
"Could it be..."
Above the Dou Sheng realm was the Dou Di realm, and the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had lived for countless millennia—perhaps even longer than the last Dou Di, Tuo She Ancient Di. If it possessed the power of an Di (Emperor)-level expert, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
Realizing this, Hun Sha abandoned any thought of confrontation and instead searched for a way to retreat.
In the next instant, a cold glint flashed in Hun Sha's eyes. His hands rapidly formed seals, and the blood-red saber in his grip shot forward.
A surge of blood energy erupted, and the saber expanded to a thousand feet in length, floating high in the sky. The aura of slaughter it radiated was almost tangible, and its blade flickered with a crimson glow that sent shivers through the soul.
"Blood God Rends the Sky!"
The saber's killing intent condensed to its peak. Hun Sha's gaze turned icy as he slashed downward, unleashing a deafening sonic boom. Wherever the saber passed, space itself crumbled for ten thousand feet.
Even the vast plains below suffered; a deep rift, thousands of feet long, carved through the earth. Though narrow, its depths were unfathomable.
As the blood saber descended, it clashed violently with the sweeping branches of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
"Boom!"
An indescribably terrifying shockwave erupted in the sky. The immense plains below caved in by several feet, and most of the towering mountains in the distance crumbled into dust.
Although the blood saber managed to sever the attacking branches, more immediately surged forward as if endless.
"Shing!"
Facing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's relentless assault, the blood saber began to dull, and its size rapidly shrank. In an instant, it transformed into a streak of crimson light and shot back toward Hun Sha.
Seizing this opportunity, the tree's branches launched another fierce offensive. Several massive limbs, each over a hundred feet long, stabbed toward Hun Sha like sharp swords.
However, just as the branches struck, Hun Sha's figure dissipated into nothingness.
"A remnant shadow?"
Not far away, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that Hun Sha had made the wise choice not to confront the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree head-on.
After all, in its prime, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had once exchanged blows with a Dou Di. With Hun Sha's Seven-Star Dou Sheng strength, he wasn't even worthy of being a side dish.
"Mo Yu, just you wait! When my Hun Clan dominates the continent, no one will be able to protect you!"
Having used the Golden Cicada Shedding Technique to escape, Hun Sha knew that he had lost his last chance. He let out a venomous snarl at Mo Yu before turning into a streak of black light and fleeing into the distance.
Yet, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree showed no intention of pursuing him. Instead, one of its thick branches stretched out toward Mo Yu.
Seeing the broad, platform-like branch before him, Mo Yu immediately understood the tree's intentions. With a light leap, he landed steadily upon it.
As soon as Mo Yu landed, the massive branch trembled slightly before retracting at an astonishing speed, as if shrinking space itself.
The rushing wind whistled past his ears, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Yu found himself before the towering Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
Gazing at the enormous tree up close, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He cupped his hands and chuckled, "Haha, many thanks for your assistance, Brother Bodhi."
"Rustle..."
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree swayed its colossal body, its leaves producing a rustling sound, as if responding that thanks were unnecessary.
Mo Yu smiled. Although the tree could not speak, it was clearly intelligent. After their previous cooperation, they had developed a considerable bond.
"By the way, Brother Bodhi, why have you suddenly appeared here? Were you looking for me?" Mo Yu asked curiously.
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's movements were unpredictable, and with no Dou Di-level experts left on the continent, it was virtually unrivaled. Unless it chose to reveal itself, no one could force it out.
"Rustle..."
The ancient tree shook slightly, and a green thunderbolt radiating an emerald glow emerged from within it, floating toward Mo Yu. As the light gradually faded, Mo Yu's expression turned to shock.
This was the Divine Wood Gang Thunder!
Moreover, it had already been restored to its peak state!
In just a few short years, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had nurtured the second-ranked thunder on the Thunder Soul Ranking back to its prime!
At the same time, Mo Yu also noticed that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's aura had grown significantly stronger since their last encounter. Clearly, the Divine Wood Gang Thunder had played a crucial role in this, benefiting them both.
"Many thanks, Brother Bodhi." Receiving the green lightning in his hands, Mo Yu's eyes flickered with excitement as he once again expressed his gratitude to the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
The Divine Wood Gang Thunder had arrived at just the right time. With the Yao Clan annihilated and the Hun Clan preparing for a major move, Mo Yu was at a critical juncture where he needed to enhance his strength. And now, with this Divine Wood Gang Thunder, his power was bound to surge explosively!
In response to Mo Yu's gratitude, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree trembled slightly, then shook its branches again, causing a leaf radiating green light to gently fall before him.
Mo Yu reached out to catch the leaf, immediately sensing a special fluctuation emanating from it—one that was identical to the aura of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree itself.
"With this leaf… could it be that I can contact you, Brother Bodhi?" Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at the ancient tree with curiosity.
Hearing his words, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree quickly shook its branches up and down, its intent self-evident.
"Haha, then I must thank Brother Bodhi once more for this generous gift." Mo Yu's face lit up with joy as he cupped his hands in gratitude.
With this leaf, he would be able to summon the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree in times of crisis. After all, this entity was no weaker than a Dou Di. This meant that even if unforeseen circumstances arose and neither he nor Xiao Yan ascended to Dou Di, the Hun Tiandi would not be able to run rampant with the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree watching over them.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
After bestowing the Bodhi Leaf as a communication token, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree slowly lowered Mo Yu to the ground. Then, its massive trunk suddenly trembled violently.
The next moment, a ring of emerald-green light spread outward from the base of the tree. As the light expanded, the ground beneath it rippled like liquid, and the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree itself gradually sank into the earth.
"Safe travels, Brother Bodhi!" Watching the tree disappear into the ground, Mo Yu cupped his hands in farewell.
Though their relationship was one of mutual cooperation, neither harbored any malicious schemes, leading to a bond of genuine friendship. This was precisely why the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was willing to grant Mo Yu the Bodhi Leaf.
Carefully storing away the leaf, Mo Yu was just about to depart when a sudden rush of wind-splitting sounds approached at high speed. In an instant, dozens of figures swiftly arrived, their gazes first sweeping over the utterly devastated plains below with confusion before locking onto Mo Yu.
Sensing their presence, Mo Yu immediately became alert, but upon recognizing them, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
Leading the group was none other than Lei Ying, a powerhouse of the Lei Clan who had once participated in the battle against the Hall of Souls. Behind him were several familiar faces, including Lei Yin, one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation in the Lei Clan.
"Mo Yu, what happened here? I sensed the presence of Hun Sha nearby—was there a great battle?" Lei Ying's expression was filled with shock as he took in the surrounding ruins.
Hun Sha was one of the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan, someone even Lei Ying found difficult to handle. If Mo Yu had truly fought him, then his strength was beyond terrifying—perhaps second only to the Lei Clan's patriarch.
Lei Yin and the younger Lei Clan members shot glances at Mo Yu, their expressions tinged with disbelief. Hun Sha was nearly a legendary figure to them. If Mo Yu had actually fought him, then regardless of their own pride, they would have no choice but to acknowledge his overwhelming strength.
Hearing this, Mo Yu gave a concise account of the earlier battle before his expression turned serious. "Senior Lei Ying, we must return to the Lei Clan immediately and report to the patriarch. The annihilation of the Yao Clan is no trivial matter—there must be a grand scheme behind it."
"What?!"
Lei Ying and his group were instantly stunned, their gazes filled with disbelief. The Yao Clan… had been destroyed?
After repeatedly confirming the news, Lei Ying's expression darkened. He muttered in a grave tone, "This is indeed a matter of great importance. If not for your report, we might still be in the dark about what happened to the Yao Clan. It seems even our patriarch failed to detect the Hun Clan's methods."
Mentioning this, Lei Ying's face became even more somber. The Lei Clan and the Yao Clan had been allies for many years, yet their ally had been wiped out without them even noticing. If word got out, it would be an embarrassment.
Sighing lightly, Lei Ying continued, "It seems we must also summon the patriarchs of the Yan Clan and the Gu Clan. The Hun Clan's actions are clearly targeting all the ancient clans. If we fail to act soon, we may all fall into their grasp."
Mo Yu nodded in agreement.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Lei Ying wasted no time in leading the group back to the Lei Realm.
When the news spread throughout the Lei Realm, it naturally caused an uproar.
The entire Lei Clan was shaken. The sudden, silent annihilation of the Yao Clan at the hands of the Hun Clan made the Lei Clan feel a chilling sense of impending doom.
Though the Lei Clan was stronger than the Yao Clan, the gap wasn't insurmountable. If the Hun Clan turned their methods upon the Lei Clan, how could they possibly resist?
Inside the solemn main hall, all the Lei Clan's elders had gathered. Seated at the head was Lei Ying, a tall and imposing figure whose expression was as dark as water. The powerful aura of an eight-star Dou Sheng radiated from him, far surpassing the Hun Sha whom Mo Yu had fought earlier, creating a heavy pressure throughout the hall.
On Lei Ying's left sat two elders whose very breaths crackled with electricity. Mo Yu had never met them before, but from his prior conversations with Lei Fei'er, he knew they were the clan's second only to the patriarch—akin to the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan and the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan.
The Twin Dominators of the Lei Clan, Lei Cang and Lei Sun, were twin brothers, both at the seven-star Dou Sheng level.
Meanwhile, among the gathered elders, Mo Yu spotted several familiar faces, all of whom regarded him with goodwill.
Though Mo Yu rarely stayed in the Lei Realm, his feats had long spread throughout the Lei Clan, and they had come to view him as one of their own. He had risen from a mere Dou Zun to a level that rivaled the clan's top experts.
Among those present, perhaps only the patriarch could guarantee a victory over him, while even the Twin Dominators might not be able to defeat him.
On Lei Ying's right sat the younger generation of the Lei Clan. At the head of the group was a graceful young woman, whose bright eyes had been fixed on Mo Yu from the moment he arrived, brimming with warmth and deep emotion. Naturally, this woman was Lei Fei'er.
"Mo Yu greets Patriarch Lei Ying." As the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, Mo Yu stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Haha, in just ten short years, you've reached such a level. Allowing you to grow independently was indeed the right decision."
Lei Ying looked at the tall, confident young man in the hall, his rugged face breaking into a rare smile. His voice carried deep admiration. When he had allowed Mo Yu to train on his own, even he hadn't expected him to reach such heights.
"Furthermore, from now on, call me 'Father-in-law.' Your relationship with Fei'er is already set in stone—you are family now."
As Lei Ying spoke, Lei Fei'er's cheeks instantly flushed red. Though the clan had long acknowledged their relationship, hearing it spoken so openly before everyone still made her feel shy.
Mo Yu, however, remained calm. Glancing at Lei Fei'er, he then turned to Lei Ying, cupped his hands, and smiled.
"Mo Yu greets Father-in-law."
