"Black Submerged Army, capture him!"
As a figure was blasted out from the mountain by the eruption of magma, Xun'er immediately issued a cold command. She was no stranger to this person.
"Yes!"
With Xun'er's command, numerous figures shot through the sky, shouting in unison as they gathered their vast Dou Qi to form an immense Dou Qi net, which then descended upon the figure like a massive trap.
"Explode!"
Faced with the energy net, the figure remained unperturbed. With a shift of his hand seals, dozens of ferocious gusts of force shot out, striking various points on the net in rapid succession.
As the violent winds howled, the net was forcibly shattered. The figure swiftly raised his gaze toward the distant sky, his body flickering as he pushed his speed to the limit, soaring upward.
"Hmph, Gu Yang, you traitor!"
Just as Gu Yang was speeding toward the sky, Gu Dao and the other two noticed him. Their expressions turned cold, and they were about to act when the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan suddenly appeared like specters, blocking their way.
"Don't let him escape!"
The sky was in chaos. Xun'er waved her jade-like hand. Though the Gu Clan had many experts, they had to stay in position to guard against the Hun Clan's schemes. The younger generation, however, had more freedom to act.
As Xun'er's voice fell, she took the lead in pursuit, with Gu Qingyang and the others quickly following.
"Let's join in too!"
On the training ground's stone platform, Yan Yi witnessed the scene and spoke solemnly before spreading his massive fire wings and shooting toward the escaping figure. Behind him, Huo Zhi and several other strong members of the Yan Clan followed suit.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?"
The young generation of the Lei Clan was momentarily stunned by the sudden battle. Lei Dong hesitated before asking.
"Stay here. I'll handle it."
Mo Yu frowned before leaping into action.
Gu Yang, as an elder of the Gu Clan, was no weakling. If an ordinary junior engaged him, they would only be throwing their lives away.
As Mo Yu pursued, Gu Yang was already nearing the spatial rift that Hun Yan had torn open.
But just as he was within a few hundred meters of it, the sound of rushing wind approached. Xun'er and the others intercepted him, surrounding him completely.
"Elder Gu Yang, why would you commit such a treacherous act?!"
Xun'er's beautiful eyes burned with anger as she glared at the disheveled old man before her, her voice stern.
"Hehehe, do you still think I am truly Gu Yang?"
Hearing Xun'er's rebuke, the old man let out a strange chuckle. His hair, hanging over his face, parted slightly, revealing a pair of eerie, icy eyes—utterly different from the kind and gentle look he once had.
"Gu Yang's soul was forcibly merged with mine by Lord Xu Wu a hundred years ago. All these years, I kept a low profile, never daring to appear before Gu Yuan and the others. But finally, this day has come!" Gu Yang cackled.
"A bunch of juniors think they can stop me?"
The next moment, Gu Yang laughed wildly and turned to flee.
However, just as he moved, a fist wreathed in pink flames tore through the space before him and slammed into his chest—it was Xiao Yan.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy."
Xiao Yan strode through the air, coldly watching the disheveled Gu Yang. The fearsome aura of a Six-Star Dou Sheng erupted from his body, causing Gu Yang's expression to change drastically.
"Hun Yan, help me!"
Feeling the overwhelming presence of Xiao Yan, Gu Yang knew he wasn't a match and hurriedly cried out for help.
"You brat, how dare you interfere with my Hun Clan's plans! You're seeking death!"
Hun Yan, who had been observing the situation, let out a furious roar. He pointed a finger at the void, releasing a deep, dark beam of light that shot forward at an unfathomable speed.
"Wither Finger!"
As Hun Yan attacked, Mo Yu arrived at the scene, pressing a finger forward as an immense surge of Dou Qi erupted. He coldly shouted, "Yellow Springs Finger!"
"Boom! Boom!"
As Mo Yu's fingers struck, a colossal energy finger clashed fiercely with the eerie black beam.
Both forces collapsed upon impact, the Yellow Springs Finger matching the Wither Finger blow for blow.
Seeing Mo Yu take his attack head-on, Hun Yan's expression darkened, his eyes filled with shock.
Back in the Yao Clan, Mo Yu had only managed to repel him by relying on a terrifying Nine Extreme Thunder Orb.
But now, Mo Yu was able to directly contend with him—this progress was simply shocking!
Mo Yu turned to Xiao Yan and Xun'er. "You two deal with Gu Yang. I'll handle Hun Yan!"
Hearing this, Xun'er and Xiao Yan were overjoyed and nodded quickly. "Thank you, Cousin Mo Yu!"
Without hesitation, they chased after the fleeing Gu Yang.
Seeing this, Hun Yan moved to stop them, but Mo Yu blocked his path.
"Hmph, let's see how many strikes you can withstand today!"
Hun Yan's face was filled with rage. His fingertip radiated black light once more as ten dark beams shot forth, piercing through the defenses and streaking toward Mo Yu.
Mo Yu snorted coldly. He clenched his fist and struck downward, unleashing a force as heavy as a mountain that shattered all ten beams instantly.
"A member of the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan—yet this is all you can do?" Mo Yu sneered.
"You brat… Your strength?!"
Sensing the immense power within Mo Yu, Hun Yan was utterly shocked.
Seven-Star Dou Sheng—Mo Yu had actually reached Seven-Star Dou Sheng!
Back in the Yao Clan, Mo Yu had only been a Five-Star Dou Sheng. But in just half a month, he had ascended two stars—at the Dou Sheng level!
If this news spread, no one would believe it. They would dismiss it as utter nonsense.
But the reality was right before his eyes, leaving Hun Yan completely dumbfounded.
"Haha! Good kid, you've actually broken through to Seven-Star Dou Sheng!"
Not far away, Lei Ying, who was entangled with Nihility Devouring Flame, sensed Mo Yu's surge in power. After a brief moment of surprise, he burst into laughter.
A Seven-Star Dou Sheng—this was the true threshold of high-tier Dou Shengs. Whether it was the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan, the Three Immortals of the Gu Clan, or even the former patriarch of the Yao Clan, Yao Dan, all resided at this level.
Stepping into the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm meant entering the ranks of true elites, even within ancient clans like the Hun Clan and Gu Clan. For Mo Yu to possess the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng at such a young age—his potential was beyond limitless; his rise was inevitable!
At the side, Yan Jin couldn't help but show a deep sense of envy. A son-in-law at the Seven-Star Dou Sheng level—Lei Ying must have accumulated blessings over eight lifetimes to be this fortunate. Why couldn't he, Yan Jin, encounter such luck?
…Though, it seemed he didn't even have a daughter.
Sensing the shift in Lei Ying and Yan Jin's emotions, the distant Nihility Devouring Flame narrowed his eyes, following their gaze toward Mo Yu. A flicker of doubt flashed through his eyes as he murmured, "This brat from the Lei Clan… his aura feels familiar. He appeared in the Yao Clan before..."
Realization dawned upon him, and he whispered, "A Seven-Star Dou Sheng… No wonder Lei Ying is so excited. If not for the Hun Clan's plans reaching their final stage, at this rate of growth, in a hundred years, the Lei Clan might have been able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Hun and Gu Clans."
While Lei Ying and the others were still shaken by Mo Yu's power, his battle with Hun Yan had already reached an intense climax.
This time, without borrowing the power of the Nine Extreme Thunder Orb, Mo Yu, relying solely on his Seven-Star Dou Sheng strength, was firmly suppressing Hun Yan. The more they fought, the more Hun Yan felt a creeping dread—no matter how he attacked, Mo Yu was like a bottomless abyss, effortlessly countering each and every move.
This was a clear sign that Mo Yu's foundation and strength far exceeded his own. The realization sent a chill down Hun Yan's spine.
Meanwhile, as battles erupted across the battlefield, a deafening explosion, akin to a thunderous roar, suddenly echoed across the Ancient Realm's skies.
Under the relentless pressure from Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others, Gu Yang's body detonated in an instant, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that shredded the protective energy barrier in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the chaotic energy, a streak of crimson light burst forth, shooting toward one of the ongoing battles in the sky!
Encased within that crimson radiance was a palm-sized, crystalline jade—one of the eight pieces of the Tou She Ancient Emperor Jade!
To ensure the jade's escape, Gu Yang, a Five-Star Dou Sheng, had chosen to self-detonate!
"Whoosh!"
Like a meteor, the crimson light streaked across the sky, immediately drawing countless gazes!
At that moment, Nihility Devouring Flame, still entangled with the patriachs of the Yan and Lei Clans, suddenly retreated at an alarming speed—heading straight for the ancient jade!
"Stop him! He's after the Ancient Jade!"
Xiao Yan's expression shifted, and he immediately shouted.
Hearing his cry, Lei Ying and Yan Jin's expressions darkened. Without hesitation, their figures blurred as they shot forward.
"Lightning Tribulation Palm!"
"Meteoric Fire Finger!"
As they moved, both unleashed their fiercest attacks simultaneously—a dazzling thunderous palm and a blinding fire beam streaked through the void at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, charging straight toward Nihility Devouring Flame!
"Hmph!"
Facing their attacks, Nihility Devouring Flame's expression turned cold, but he did not retreat. Instead, his body trembled, summoning a storm of black vortexes around him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The terrifying attacks arrived in an instant, setting off a chain of explosions within the black vortexes. Though the vortexes managed to slightly slow the attacks, it was only a temporary measure.
As soon as the vortexes collapsed, the thunder palm and fire finger landed directly on Nihility Devouring Flame's back. The sheer force tore open his back, scattering black flames in all directions.
Even with his formidable strength, the combined strike from Lei Ying and Yan Jin made Nihility Devouring Flame stagger, his form flickering as though on the verge of collapse.
However, leveraging the force of the impact, his figure flickered and instantly appeared beside the crimson light. With a single gulp, he swallowed the ancient jade into his mouth!
With the Ancient Jade secured, Nihility Devouring Flame burst into laughter as the Four Demon Saints of the Hun Clan swiftly arrived, surrounding him protectively while keeping Lei Ying and Yan Jin at bay with wary gazes.
"Heh, had fun? Don't worry, I'll return today's debt with interest next time!" Nihility Devouring Flame sneered, his tone icy.
Lei Ying and Yan Jin's faces darkened. Not only had they failed to stop him, but they had also allowed him to seize the Ancient Jade!
"Retreat!"
With the jade in hand, Nihility Devouring Flame wasted no time. His figure flickered as he shot toward a spatial rift.
"Stay here!"
Just as he moved, space rippled, and Gu Yuan materialized, his expression grim.
But before Gu Yuan could act, a figure in gray robes appeared before him—Hun Tiandi. With a simple counter, he deflected Gu Yuan's strike and leisurely withdrew.
This brief delay allowed Nihility Devouring Flame to slip into the spatial rift, his aura vanishing in an instant.
Countless Gu Clan experts watched this unfold with furious expressions, their eyes burning with rage.
"Gu Yuan," Hun Tiandi said with a faint smile, his gaze calm, "I told you before—when the Xiao Clan fell, the Gu Clan lost its best chance to resist the Hun Clan."
"The Tou She Ancient Emperor's inheritance… will ultimately fall into the hands of the Hun Clan. Gu Yuan, I will step into that realm—believe me."
"The Ancient Jade is divided into eight pieces. Even with the one you obtained, you only hold five. Don't get ahead of yourself!" Lei Ying snapped coldly.
"Oh?" Hun Tiandi chuckled, an eerie smirk spreading across his face. "Lei Clan and Yan Clan patriachs left their clans unguarded. Do you really think the Hun Clan would waste such an opportunity?"
"…So it's true!"
Lei Ying and Yan Jin's expressions changed dramatically, their faces growing ashen. As expected, the Hun Clan had already struck at their clans!
Their shock and fury only made Hun Tiandi smile wider. Without another word, he slowly stepped back into the spatial rift. Even Gu Yuan hesitated to go all out against him at this moment.
"Oh, right…"
Just before his figure completely vanished, Hun Tiandi's gaze shifted toward Xiao Yan, who was still within the grand formation.
"You must be Xiao Yan, correct? The Xiao Clan's Ancient Jade should be in your possession. In half a month, come to the Burial Mountain Range with it… if you wish to save your father."
With that final sentence, Hun Tiandi disappeared completely into the rift…
