Chapter 448: The Power of the New Black Gold Thunderball
As Tianshuangzi and Tian She made their move, the Ice River Valley forces charged toward Tianhuang City.
Seeing this, Mo Yu signaled to Mo Xie, who respectfully nodded and then led the poisonous beast army to attack the Ice River Valley.
In an instant, a massive poisonous cloud clashed with the Ice River Valley's formation under Mo Xie's command, producing a thunderous boom.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
A series of icy spheres rained down from the sky, unleashing a cold wave that instantly spread through the beast horde. Many poisonous beasts were engulfed by the cold, quickly turning into ice sculptures and becoming completely frozen.
Among the beast horde were some highly intelligent, powerful magical beasts that hadn't yet transformed into humanoid form. They could barely resist the cold wave. Possessing intelligence, they weren't as reckless as the other beasts, who charged headlong into danger without hesitation.
Of course, only a small number of these magical beasts had intelligence. Most of the others were driven purely by instinct. Controlled by the Scorpion Dragon Beast, they knew only to launch frenzied attacks.
However, under the wide-ranging icy assault from Ice River Valley, any beast that ventured within a hundred meters of the ice formation was inevitably turned into an ice statue, making a sharp cracking sound before being completely frozen.
As more and more beasts charged to their deaths, Mo Yu frowned.
Even though there was an endless stream of beasts fearlessly charging toward Ice River Valley, this strategy wouldn't hold for long. Even if he sacrificed all the poisonous beasts, it wouldn't be enough to stop Ice River Valley.
Realizing this, Mo Yu turned to Elder Huanyin and said, "I'll need your Sound Valley's help to deal with the Ice River Valley forces."
Hearing this, Elder Huanyin smiled gently and replied, "Rest assured, Mo Yu. Before we left, our Valley Master instructed us to fully support you in this mission."
Beside her, Dan Qiner's beautiful eyes were locked on Mo Yu as she smiled and added, "You've done so much for Sound Valley. We couldn't possibly sit this one out."
However, after a moment, Dan Qiner's expression became worried. "But the Ice River Valley Master hasn't appeared yet. Are you confident you can handle him, or should we ask my master to step in?"
Mo Yu smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, I've prepared for him. I'm just waiting for him to take the bait."
Seeing the confidence in Mo Yu's demeanor, both Dan Qiner and Elder Huanyin exchanged glances. As the poisonous beast army began to falter, they let out a shout and charged toward Ice River Valley.
As they moved, Tian She turned to Mo Yu and sneered, "Kid, no matter what tricks you've got, you won't escape from Ice River Valley's grasp!"
"Oh, really?" Mo Yu replied with a mocking smile. He waved his hand, and a puppet radiating a dazzling green light suddenly appeared.
When Tian She saw the puppet, he was taken aback but quickly noticed something and let out a puzzled sound.
"Oh? A puppet? But its strength is only around the level of a Seven-Star Dou Zong. If you think it can stop me, it's not enough."
"Elder She, leave the puppet to me," said a strong figure from the Ice River Valley camp, stepping forward and volunteering.
Hearing this, Tian She nodded and then turned his cold gaze to Mo Yu, saying, "Now, let's see what other tricks you have left!"
Mo Yu's expression remained indifferent. "Don't worry. I don't even need the puppet to deal with you."
As soon as Mo Yu finished speaking, white lightning began to surge from within his body, rapidly absorbing the surrounding energy. At the same time, his hands formed a series of complex seals, and a powerful pressure began to radiate from his body.
"Tian Gang Thunder Body, Second Stage!"
As Mo Yu completed his hand seals, a surge of thunderous power erupted from within him, then condensed into a pair of lightning wings and armor!
With the lightning wings and armor now adorning him, Mo Yu's aura skyrocketed!
In the next moment, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, a powerful energy, like that of a waking dragon, erupted from Mo Yu.
Seven-Star Dou Zong!
Tian She, who was the closest to Mo Yu, couldn't hide the shock that flashed in his eyes. Who could have guessed that this seemingly young and insignificant Mo Yu could unleash such immense power?
Even Elder Huanyin and Dan Qiner turned to look, their eyes widening in surprise as they felt the overwhelming energy surging from Mo Yu.
They had already known that Mo Yu was a genius eighth-grade weapon forger, but they hadn't expected his Dou Qi cultivation to be equally terrifying!
Mo Yu's transformation also caught the attention of Elder Jueyin and Tianshuangzi, who had been observing without intervening.
Elder Jueyin's eyes flickered with surprise as she sensed Mo Yu's powerful increase in strength, even she was taken aback by his terrifying growth.
Realizing the full scope of Mo Yu's abilities as both a weapon forger and a fighter, even Elder Jueyin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This young man truly is a monster!
At this thought, Elder Jueyin turned her gaze to Tianshuangzi, her expression now serious. She resolved to fully support Mo Yu in this battle. With his immense potential, he was too valuable to lose.
Seeing this, Tianshuangzi frowned. Even though Mo Yu's increased strength still didn't pose a significant threat to him, facing two Dou Zun experts together made the situation more challenging. The pressure was mounting.
While Tianshuangzi pondered this, Qingzhi wasted no time. Her figure flickered, and a powerful black ice spear descended from the sky, causing even the surrounding space to tremble.
Recognizing Qingzhi's Ice Sovereign Strike and the familiar energy it carried, Tianshuangzi was stunned. His face immediately changed, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? How do you know... Ice Sovereign Power?"
...
As the Dou Zun experts clashed on one side, Mo Yu, having fully grasped his newfound power, turned to Tian She and sneered, "There was a path to heaven, but you chose not to take it. Now, you've come knocking on hell's door. Today will be the day Ice River Valley falls!"
As soon as he spoke, a ripple of energy distorted the space in front of Tian She. A ghostly figure appeared, wielding a long spear cloaked in five-colored lightning. The sheer power of the strike made Tian She's skin crawl, as the spear thrust viciously toward him!
The black spear missed Tian She's face by mere inches, but the terrifying energy radiating from it was enough to make his face flush red from the impact.
Tian She quickly retreated, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead and his back drenched in sweat. If he had reacted even a moment later, he would have been skewered by Mo Yu's spear.
"Damn it! That's an eighth-grade weapon! And this kid's speed has become so fast after using that secret technique, even I can't keep up!"
Furious and humiliated, Tian She roared in frustration, "I don't believe a mere brat like you can defeat me!"
Enraged, Tian She turned to the three Ice River Valley elders behind him and commanded, "Bingxuan, Binghua, Bingling, this boy is more dangerous than he seems. The three of you, join me, and we'll capture him as quickly as possible!"
The three elders were momentarily stunned but hesitated.
"Elder She, isn't it a bit inappropriate for the four of us to gang up on such a young man, especially with so many people watching?" one of them asked cautiously.
"A young man?"
Tian She chuckled coldly. "Even if the three of you team up against him, you'll be lucky to survive. Do you still dare call him a 'young man'?"
The three elders exchanged uneasy glances. Though they had just reached the Seven-Star Dou Zong level, they had witnessed Mo Yu's terrifying strength. If not for Tian She's own powerful cultivation, he might have already fallen to Mo Yu.
Seeing no room for argument, they gritted their teeth and nodded. The three elders moved into formation, surrounding Mo Yu from three sides. The air grew heavy as their combined killing intent locked onto him.
Seeing this unfold, gasps erupted from within Tianhuang City. Ice River Valley was sending four elders to deal with a single young man?
Tian She ignored the shocked murmurs from below, his cold eyes fixed on Mo Yu. "Even though you've used a power-boosting technique and wield an eighth-grade weapon, you can't change your fate today. If you surrender now, you might suffer less pain."
Mo Yu only scoffed in response. He glanced around, his expression growing serious.
With three Seven-Star Dou Zong elders and a peak Dou Zong master, this was indeed a formidable lineup. It wasn't impossible for them to kill him. But that was assuming Mo Yu didn't have any more tricks up his sleeve. Unfortunately for them...
A cold smile spread across Mo Yu's face as he raised his hand. A terrifying black thunderball quietly appeared in his palm.
After incorporating Ice Spirit Silver Thunder, the power of his Black Gold Thunderball had increased dramatically. Even with his strength amplified to the Seven-Star Dou Zong level, Mo Yu could still feel the immense pressure from it, a bead of sweat forming on his brow.
The people inside Tianhuang City also noticed the thunderball in Mo Yu's hand, their faces turning pale. They could feel the destructive power radiating from it. If that thunderball were unleashed on the city, it would reduce the entire place to rubble.
Even Tianshuangzi, who was battling Qingzhi and Elder Jueyin, couldn't help but frown when he saw the Black Gold Thunderball in Mo Yu's hand. Despite being a Dou Zun master, he could feel the pressure emanating from it.
Such an intense change in the atmosphere didn't go unnoticed by Tian She and the other elders. Their expressions shifted as they stared in horror at the Black Gold Thunderball in Mo Yu's hand.
"Damn it, this kid is truly terrifying!"
An overwhelming sense of unease surged through Tian She's heart. He had no choice now. His face darkened as he slammed his staff into the ground and growled, "Quick, focus your Dou Qi with mine!"
The three elders were momentarily stunned, but they quickly nodded. They shifted their positions, channeling their icy Dou Qi toward Tian She.
The freezing energy from the three Seven-Star Dou Zong elders flowed into Tian She's body, causing a series of cracking sounds as layers of pale blue ice began to form beneath his skin.
In the blink of an eye, a thin blue layer of ice covered Tian She's entire body. As this icy armor took shape, an extremely cold aura burst from his body.
With the combined power of all four elders, they had reached the third level of Ice Sovereign Power!
As the pale blue ice layer formed, Tian She could sense the terrifying destructive force within Mo Yu's Black Gold Thunderball. His eyes glinted with vicious intent as he raised his head to glare at Mo Yu.
"Boy, this is the end for you!"
With a sinister smile, Tian She's hand closed around a strange, liquid-like energy of pale blue. Tiny ice particles floated within the liquid, shimmering with an eerie light.
Gripping this blue liquid energy, Tian She yanked his arm back, shaping it into a massive blue ice bow nearly two meters long.
As soon as the ice bow materialized, the surrounding cold intensified, even causing the poisonous cloud from earlier to retreat.
"Ice God Bow."
Tian She's face was twisted with a cold grin as he pulled back the bowstring. With a chilling creak, the bowstring stretched to its limit, gathering the terrifying cold from the surrounding air. A massive blue ice arrow, nearly a meter long, slowly formed on the bowstring.
"Boy, this arrow will take your life!"
Tian She's eye twitched as he glanced nervously at the Black Gold Thunderball in Mo Yu's hand. Then, his face contorted with malice as he let out a chilling laugh and released the bowstring.
"Ice God Arrow, freeze the world!"
With a sharp whistle, the enormous blue ice arrow shot forward!
The moment the arrow was released, the temperature in the area plummeted further, even dimming the poisonous cloud that had dominated the sky earlier.
"Oh? It seems you've touched upon the power of a Dou Zun master. In that case, let's see the true power of the new Black Gold Thunderball!"
Mo Yu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. With a sudden stomp of his foot, he flung the Black Gold Thunderball forward, hurtling it toward the incoming ice arrow with terrifying speed.
Black Gold Thunderball, destroy the heavens and earth!
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion rang out as a massive sea of lightning spread across the sky, its waves of electricity crackling and expanding outward.
The immense power of the thunderball completely dispelled the freezing cold that had enveloped the battlefield. The entire city began to warm up again.
Countless eyes in Tianhuang City stared at the lightning storm in the sky, their faces filled with awe and disbelief.
No one could have predicted that in less than five minutes, Mo Yu would break the stalemate with such a powerful and shocking attack.
As the ice arrow and thunderball clashed, everyone held their breath, eager to see who would emerge victorious from this intense battle…
