**
Black mist churned as a withered, skeletal figure slowly emerged into the sight of everyone on the mountaintop.
The figure was clad in a black robe, its gaunt face desiccated, and sunken eyes flickered with two ghostly flames, exuding an eerie aura.
"That's a expert from the Hall of Souls!"
"It seems to be First Tianzun of the Hall of Souls! I never expected him to appear. It's been ages since he last showed himself on the continent."
"The legendary First Tianzun of the Hall of Souls—doesn't that make him a veteran Dou Sheng?"
"Are Dou Sheng experts that rare these days? This Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall seems to be drawing out countless ancient monsters."
The sudden appearance of the black-robed elder prompted a flurry of hushed discussions among the crowd on the mountaintop. They soon followed First Tianzun's gaze, which rested on Mo Yu.
The Lord of Yuan Manor, Mo Yu, was no less renowned across the continent than First Tianzun!
With that thought in mind, many eagerly awaited the drama to unfold.
First, the Second Tianzun of the Hall of Souls, Gu You, joined forces with the Tian Ming Sect to attack Yuan Manor, only to be repelled by Mo Yu after his breakthrough to Dou Sheng. Following this, Yuan Manor retaliated by relentlessly assaulting the Hall of Souls' branch halls over the past half month, annihilating several of them.
As such, it was now common knowledge that Yuan Manor and the Hall of Souls were irreconcilable enemies.
Seeing both Mo Yu and First Tianzun present, it was clear to everyone that a fierce clash was imminent.
Sure enough, Mo Yu gazed at the aged figure, smiling faintly as he spoke coldly: "First Tianzun? I didn't expect you to join this commotion too."
The aged figure slowly raised his head, his withered face appearing sinister under the light. The ghostly flames in his eyes flickered as his raspy, chilling voice echoed:
"Mo Yu, I never thought you'd have the audacity to roam about. The clan originally intended to let you live a bit longer, but now that you've delivered yourself to us, this old man will gladly claim your life first!"
"Who takes whose life is yet to be determined!" Mo Yu chuckled, though his gaze was icy as he stared at the emaciated elder.
When Mo Yu want to killed Gu You before, this old ghost had intervened in secret to save him. Now that First Tianzun had revealed himself, Mo Yu no longer feared him—despite First Tianzun being a genuine Two-Star Dou Sheng!
"Brother, why waste words with this junior? Kill him and extract his soul! A Ban Sheng's soul is worth as much as what we'd collect from a branch hall in a hundred years!"
At this moment, Gu You emerged from behind First Tianzun, his eyes gleaming with malice.
Having suffered a significant loss to Mo Yu earlier, Gu You had been harboring a grudge but dared not seek revenge due to Mo Yu's strength. Now that Mo Yu had fallen into their hands, Gu You was determined to make him pay dearly!
"Hmph, Gu You, you sure talk a lot of nonsense. If you want to harm the Lord, you'll have to get past me first!"
Before Gu You's voice faded, Old Demon Tian Ming beside Mo Yu revealed his true self. He stared coldly at Gu You, his eyes filled with ill intent.
"Old Demon Tian Ming!" Gu You's expression froze upon seeing Old Demon Tian Ming, but he quickly sneered.
"As the Grand Elder of the Tian Ming Sect, you've stooped to serving a mere whelp. Truly disgraceful!"
Old Demon Tian Ming seemed indifferent to Gu You's mockery. Instead, he spoke with pride: "What do you know? The Lord is both heroic and unparalleled in potential. Serving him is an honor."
"Hah, shameless scoundrel! If you're so bent on following him, then you can die with him!"
With a cold snort, Gu You pressed his palms together. Torrential black qi surged from him, exuding a terrifying aura.
Shrouded in black qi, Gu You resembled a demonic god descending upon the world. He roared skyward as clanking sounds resonated—the black mist spawning countless chains that screeched as they shot toward Old Demon Tian Ming with terrifying momentum.
Seeing this, Old Demon Tian Ming did not retreat. Though he had become Mo Yu's subordinate, his battle-hardened skills and power remained intact.
With his Dou Qi surging like lightning, Old Demon Tian Ming clashed fiercely with Gu You.
The intense battle between these two high-level Ban Shengs immediately drew gasps of astonishment from onlookers, as such clashes were exceedingly rare on the continent.
However, while Gu You and Old Demon Tian Ming's battle was fierce, the crowd's focus remained on the impending conflict—the clash between two true Dou Shengs!
"You're not worried about keeping that old fox, Old Demon Tian Ming, by your side? Aren't you afraid he'll betray you?" First Tianzun glanced at Old Demon Tian Ming fighting Gu You before sneering at Mo Yu.
Although Old Demon Tian Ming appeared loyal, First Tianzun, familiar with his cunning nature, refused to believe he had truly submitted to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu, with the Black Lotus Soul Seal controlling Old Demon Tian Ming, was unconcerned about betrayal. Snorting coldly, he replied: "You don't need to worry about that. Take care of yourself instead."
"Hmph! Since you're so eager to die, then die you shall!"
First Tianzun's face darkened, and his hand swiftly formed an arcane seal.
"Zzt zzt!"
As the seal formed, the space around Mo Yu rippled. Countless sharp white bones emerged from the void, stabbing toward him with lightning speed.
"Petty tricks."
Mo Yu chuckled as his sleeve flicked. Boundless thunder erupted from his body, obliterating the bone spikes in an instant.
"Bone Emperor's Rift!"
Before the remnants of the spikes dissipated, First Tianzun's chilling voice sounded again. Above Mo Yu, the void distorted as an enormous bone blade imbued with sinister energy slashed downward.
"Whoosh!"
As the blade descended, an unusual ripple spread through the air, heading straight for Mo Yu.
"Soul attack!"
Feeling the ripple's unique nature, Mo Yu's expression shifted slightly. He hadn't expected First Tianzun to employ soul attacks. Unfortunately for his opponent, Mo Yu's Black Lotus Soul Thunder rendered him unafraid of soul clashes!
"Shatter!"
Clenching his fist, Mo Yu's expression remained calm as he threw a seemingly simple punch. When his fist struck, a surge of soul power erupted from between his brows!
"Boom!"
Soul power surged forth, forming a strange black lotus midair. It shot out from Mo Yu's palm, colliding with the rippling energy of the bone blade. Both forces annihilated each other in an instant.
Seeing the ferocity of the opening moves, the audience erupted into an uproar. Even Kun Huang from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan observed the scene with a heavy expression.
One combatant was the veteran First Tianzun of the Hall of Souls, while the other was the newly ascended, renowned leader of the Yuan Manor. Both were top-tier figures on the continent.
As the two clashed, Kun Huang's gaze flickered as he observed Mo Yu's back, his thoughts spinning with a mix of admiration and caution.
On the battlefield, after easily nullifying the soul fluctuations, the First Tianzun's figure flickered and appeared beneath the colossal hundred-foot-long bone blade in the sky.
Black mist surged from his palm, morphing into a massive hand that gripped the blade's hilt. With a chilling cry, the bone blade slashed through the space, descending towards Mo Yu's head with terrifying, sharp energy!
"That bone blade seems unusual—it can wound the soul," someone muttered.
As the immense bone blade enlarged in Mo Yu's pupils, he pressed his palms against the void. A massive lightning pillar, hundreds of feet wide, erupted and collided with the descending bone blade.
"Humph!"
The First Tianzun sneered as his bone blade sliced through the lightning pillar, shattering it. Even the ferocious energy of the thunderstorm was suppressed under the blade's might.
"Mo Yu, this bone blade was forged from the bones of ten thousand souls, and countless spirits were sacrificed to it. Once its wind cuts through, the afflicted will endure the torment of countless vengeful spirits!"
Holding the bone blade horizontally, the First Tianzun sneered. "Consider it an honor that I'll use it to take your life today!"
"Tricks of the weak."
Mo Yu chuckled coldly. With his Black Lotus Soul Thunder guarding his soul, no blade wind could harm him. He waved his palm, summoning the Primodial Ancestral Thunder and Divine Heaven Ancient Wolf Thunder.
"If you're so confident in that blade, let me break it!"
In the next instant, Mo Yu's aura surged. Within moments, his strength rose from the early stage of One-Star Dou Sheng to the late stage.
His hands moved rapidly in complex gestures, and the two lightning energies before him swelled. In seconds, they merged into a colossal Primodial Thunder Wolf, standing tall between heaven and earth like an indomitable steel beast.
This technique, used during Mo Yu's peak Dou Zun days, had once allowed him to contend with the Third Tianzun. Back then, he hadn't even reached Ban Sheng. Now, as a Dou Sheng with the perfect Heavenly Thunder Body, its power was nothing short of terrifying.
"Roar!"
The Primodial Ancestral Thunder and Divine Heaven Ancient Wolf Thunder merged, transforming into a towering purple-gold lightning wolf hundreds of feet tall. Its oppressive presence collapsed the surrounding space, leaving pitch-black voids like gaping maws.
"Arrogant!"
The First Tianzun laughed grimly, his body shrouded in black mist as countless vengeful souls poured into the bone blade, emitting shrill, eerie cries.
The bone blade's once-pale surface gradually turned crimson, as if stained with dark blood.
"Soul Destruction Slash!"
With a sharp movement, the First Tianzun sent the massive, bloodstained bone blade cleaving through the sky toward the Primodial Thunder Wolf. The terrifying blade tore the space apart, splitting mountains below and sending panicked spectators fleeing.
"Break it!"
Feeling the ferocity of the incoming slash, Mo Yu's hands formed a new seal. The Primodial Thunder Wolf surged forward, its speed akin to a charging tank. With a thunderous roar, it collided head-on with the bone blade.
"Clang!"
The deafening clash reverberated across the sealed battlefield. Energy storms surged wildly, toppling nearby mountain ranges into rubble.
"Boom!"
In the aftermath of the collision, the purple-gold lightning armor of the Thunder Wolf began to dissipate. Eventually, it vanished completely alongside the Divine Heaven Thunder.
Meanwhile, the massive bone blade was blasted backward, landing heavily on a distant mountain. The impact reduced the mountain to rubble, leaving the blade lying powerless amidst the debris.
Both sides had suffered, with no decisive victory.
"That bone blade truly is peculiar," Mo Yu muttered, his Primodial Thunder Wolf dissipating into two thunder that he reabsorbed. He stared at the bone blade, noting its eerie fluctuations. These waves, silent but menacing, could severely harm the soul. Without his Black Lotus Soul Thunder, he might have sustained significant injuries.
"Impressive. No wonder the Hall of Souls has failed multiple times to capture you," the First Tianzun remarked with a solemn gaze.
"You flatter me. Your reputation as the First Tianzun is well-earned," Mo Yu replied with a faint smile.
The First Tianzun's expression darkened at the sarcastic retort. He had personally intervened and still couldn't subdue a junior. How could he face his clan after this?
Gritting his teeth, he turned to Kun Huang of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. "Old friend Kun Huang, your clan has grievances with Mo Yu. Why not join forces with me to eliminate him?"
Kun Huang frowned at the proposal but hesitated as he looked at the rising threat Mo Yu posed. Memories of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit theft, orchestrated by Mo Yu, added fuel to his thoughts.
Before Kun Huang could respond, a deafening lion's roar echoed across the heavens, exuding an oppressive aura akin to that of a supreme beast.
Even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan struggled to withstand this overwhelming pressure.
As Kun Huang reeled from the shock, a hearty laugh rang out.
"Haha! Brother, I've returned!"
A colossal spatial rift appeared midair, and from within stepped a gargantuan purple-gold lion, exuding a primal and terrifying aura. Its thousand-foot-tall frame resembled that of an unrivaled ancient beast, commanding awe and fear.
