Chapter 582: Demon Soul Spot, the Fall of the Third Tianzun
High in the sky, Mo Yu stood suspended in the air, his silver eyes flickering with lightning, giving him a strange, almost demonic look. His body was covered in blood, and there was a terrifying wound about half a foot long across his chest. If it weren't for the protection of the ancient Emperor Insect Armor and the indestructible Great Sun Thunder Body technique, he might have been fatally wounded, if not killed outright.
The Third Tianzun, a half-saint, had absorbed numerous souls of human and magical beast experts. His full-force attack was terrifying, and Mo Yu had barely managed to withstand it. Fortunately, his Great Thunder Wolf Pill had successfully blocked the attack and even severely injured the Third Tianzun.
Not far away, the Third Tianzun was in a miserable state. His body was drenched in blood, crisscrossed with wounds that looked like a bloody tapestry. The black crystal armor covering his body had shattered, and blood dripped from the cracks, making his pale, twisted face resemble a demonic creature.
Both of them were gravely injured, but the Third Tianzun was clearly in worse condition. The intensity of their battle far exceeded that of the Second Tianzun's fight with Qingzhi. All eyes were now focused on the two combatants. With the Second Tianzun preoccupied, the Soul Hall's last hope rested on Blacklight, the Third Tianzun. However, the battle wasn't going in the Soul Hall's favor.
"Damn fool! How could you lose again to this Dou Zun brat? You're useless!" Bone You cursed, his anger barely contained. Earlier, he could excuse Blacklight's loss as a trick played by Mo Yu, but now, after all the preparations and soul absorption, Blacklight had no reason to lose again. Yet here he was, defeated once more.
Bone You's face twisted in fury, but as his eyes shifted to Mo Yu, who was also injured, a glimmer of opportunity appeared in his gaze. Without hesitation, Bone You suddenly launched himself at Mo Yu, his hand surging with powerful Dou Qi, aiming to kill Mo Yu in one strike.
However, his actions did not escape Qingzhi's sharp eyes. Just as Bone You moved, Qingzhi quickly formed a hand seal, freezing the moisture in the air and creating a barrier of ice mirrors that surrounded Bone You. These mirrors appeared fragile but were incredibly durable and capable of reflecting some of the attacker's power back at them.
"Demon Mirror Ice Crystals!" Qingzhi's cold voice rang out as she glared at Bone You with her icy expression. "Your fight is with me."
"Curse you!" Bone You growled in frustration, his eyes glaring venomously at Qingzhi. Trapped within the ice mirrors, he had no choice but to abandon his ambush and focus on the battle in front of him.
…
At the center of the battlefield, Mo Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze cold as he looked at the battered Blacklight. "Third Tianzun, it seems you've lost to me again."
Blacklight gritted his teeth in fury. "You only won because of your divine bloodline and the Thunder Clan's support. Without your powerful lightning, with your meager talent at your age, you wouldn't even qualify to speak to me!"
Mo Yu glanced at him indifferently. In the world of victors and losers, only the defeated make excuses. The powerful lightning he controlled had been obtained through his own efforts, not given to him by the Thunder Clan.
"Enough talking. The feeling of being invaded by Mysterious Thunder must be unpleasant. Today will be the day you, the Third Tianzun of the Soul Hall, fall!" Mo Yu said coldly, not bothering to argue. With a thought, the multicolored lightning began surging into the Third Tianzun's body through his wounds, causing his face to turn crimson with pain.
The Third Tianzun's body trembled violently, and soon, his skin was covered in crackling electric currents, making him look horrifyingly grotesque. He gritted his teeth and desperately tried to expel the Mysterious Thunder with his Dou Qi, but the lightning had already infiltrated his bloodstream, spreading throughout his body with every pulse of his heart.
If he had been at his peak, the Third Tianzun might have had the strength to expel the lightning. However, after his intense battle with Mo Yu, his Dou Qi was severely depleted, leaving him powerless to resist the invasion. As the lightning spread, the Third Tianzun's body was wracked with violent coughing fits, blood gushing uncontrollably from his mouth and soaking his clothes.
"Third Tianzun, in your current state, there's no way you can resist the Mysterious Thunder. So, goodbye." Mo Yu's voice was calm as he watched the Third Tianzun struggle in vain, his body covered in blood.
"Jie jie... So this is the terror of a divine bloodline…cough…Today I've experienced it firsthand," the Third Tianzun croaked, his voice full of malice. His blood-stained face was a ghastly sight as he glared at Mo Yu.
The entire battlefield had fallen into silence. Everyone could see that the Third Tianzun was at the end of his rope. If he fell, Mo Yu would create a miracle—defeating a Saint-level expert as a mere Dou Zun.
"Jie jie, I may indeed die today, but if you think I'll die alone, you're wrong!" the Third Tianzun suddenly snarled, his expression turning even more ferocious. With a crazed smile, he stomped his foot, and his body began to swell with dark energy. His skin bubbled with surging black light, and the terrifying sight sent chills through everyone watching.
Realizing what was happening, Mo Yu's face changed, and he shouted to the others around him, "Get back! He's going to self-destruct!"
The Third Tianzun's body continued to swell, and the black light around him grew blinding. Just as his body seemed ready to explode, there was a strange popping sound, and instead of the expected explosion, his body shrank rapidly.
As everyone looked on in confusion, the Third Tianzun's face twisted into a cruel grin. The black light around him began to vanish, and he opened his mouth wide, tilting his head back. A thin beam of dark energy shot from his mouth, racing toward Mo Yu with lightning speed.
The beam was small—about the size of a fist—but it moved so fast that it seemed to tear through space itself. Within a blink, it was already in front of Mo Yu, who barely had time to react.
In that moment, Mo Yu's Dou Qi surged out from his body instinctively, forming a protective barrier. However, the black beam pierced through the barrier like it wasn't even there, shooting directly into his chest. A black spot appeared on Mo Yu's skin where the beam had entered, and thin, dark lines began to spread out from it, crawling across his body.
Mo Yu looked down in shock at the black spot on his chest. The lines were spreading toward his body's major acupoints and meridians. Realizing what was happening, he glared at the Third Tianzun. "You're courting death!"
"Jie jie…"
After releasing the black beam, the Third Tianzun looked like he had aged decades. His hair turned white, and his face wrinkled deeply. Despite his weakened state, his eyes burned with hatred and a cold smile.
"You brat…I was doomed to die today, but taking you, a divine bloodline, with me? That's worth it."
Seeing the Third Tianzun's malevolent grin, Medusa, Little Doctor, and the others immediately rushed to Mo Yu's side, checking him over anxiously.
"Are you alright?" Medusa asked, her hands gently running over Mo Yu's body, her voice filled with worry. A half-saint's dying attack was no trivial matter, and Mo Yu being struck by it could have dire consequences.
Little Doctor's face was equally grave as she scanned Mo Yu's body. After a moment, she took a deep breath, biting her lip. "It's similar to the 'Demon Poison Spot' from the Cloud Empire. This Third Tianzun was truly vicious."
"Demon Poison Spot? What's that?" Medusa and Qinglin asked urgently.
"It's a toxic Dou Qi technique from the Cloud Empire. It gathers all of a person's toxic Dou Qi into a black spot that's shot into an enemy's body. The black spot releases poison that spreads through the victim's acupoints and meridians, causing them to suffer unbearable pain until they die slowly."
"When someone uses the Demon Poison Spot, they sacrifice all their Dou Qi and become crippled," Little Doctor explained, her voice filled with anger. "But the Third Tianzun didn't just use his Dou Qi. He also fused the souls he had swallowed with his own soul and shot it into Mo Yu's body. It's like a 'Demon Soul Spot,' far more dangerous."
Hearing this, Medusa and Qinglin's faces paled. They had heard of the Demon Poison Spot's cruelty, and this Demon Soul Spot sounded even worse. If the Third Tianzun's attack was similar, Mo Yu could be in serious danger.
"So that's what it is..." Mo Yu murmured after hearing Little Doctor's explanation. No wonder it had felt so familiar. Now that he understood what had happened, he felt a bit relieved. Though he wasn't sure if the Black Lotus Soul Lightning within him could remove the curse, he knew he had options.
"Don't worry. I have a way to suppress the Demon Soul Spot," Mo Yu reassured the three women standing by him, trying to calm their fears.
The women exchanged doubtful glances but relaxed slightly after seeing the calm expression on Mo Yu's face. They had spent enough time with him to believe he had a plan.
Despite this, a cold glint flashed in Medusa's eyes. Without a word, she leaped forward, landing in front of the Third Tianzun. In one swift motion, she kicked his knee, shattering the bone with a sickening crack.
"Even though you're the Soul Hall's Third Tianzun, you think I won't kill you?" Medusa growled.
"Even if you're the Soul Hall's Third Tianzun, or even its master, if you dare hurt my man, I'll kill you without hesitation!" Medusa's voice dripped with murderous intent as she kicked his other knee, breaking it too. The Third Tianzun's legs twisted at unnatural angles, and his body looked more like a broken doll than a person.
The Third Tianzun groaned in agony, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Even speaking had become difficult for him.
"Enough, Medusa. Kill him and end it," Mo Yu said with a small smile, appreciating her fierce loyalty. The Third Tianzun was already doomed, so there was no point in prolonging his suffering.
Medusa nodded, her eyes flashing with cold light. She raised her hand, which now gleamed like a blade, and thrust it into the Third Tianzun's chest, crushing his heart.
With his heart shattered, the life drained from the Third Tianzun's eyes, and moments later, his body went limp, lifeless.
Medusa withdrew her hand, casually tossing his corpse aside. Blood dripped from her fingers as she stood tall, her long hair flowing behind her, looking every bit like a vengeful warrior from the depths of the underworld.
"Medusa is so cool…" Qinglin whispered in awe.
