"Three matches, two draws. This is somewhat unexpected, but it won't change the final outcome."
At the mountain's peak, the Chief of the Hall of Souls strode forward slowly, finally halting a hundred feet away from Mo Yu.
Lifting his head to gaze at Mo Yu, he chuckled faintly, his demeanor composed and unshaken by the current situation.
"Indeed, the Chief is right. The outcome will not change. The Hall of Souls will ultimately be nothing more than my Yuan Manor's defeated opponent." Mo Yu clasped his hands behind his back and responded with a light smile.
"Oh? Young as you are, your tone is quite audacious," the Chief of the Hall of Souls was momentarily surprised before sneering coldly.
Hearing their verbal exchange, the watching crowd felt their blood stir.
This was the most crucial battle of the day—one between the Master of the Hall of Souls and the Master of Yuan Manor. Their duel would determine the final victor of this decisive clash!
"Allowing you to grow to this level is a responsibility I cannot evade. So today, I intend to settle this matter once and for all." The Chief of the Hall of Souls smiled and gazed at the expressionless Mo Yu as he spoke.
"Oh? Then let me see if you have the strength to back up your words as the Chief of the Hall of Souls." Mo Yu's gaze remained calm.
The Chief of the Hall of Souls merely chuckled as a pitch-black Dou Qi slowly surged from his body. "Then let's begin. I, too, wish to see what makes the divine-grade bloodline of the Lei Clan so special."
"Boom!"
Before his words had fully fallen, a deep sonic boom exploded beside his ears like a lightning strike.
In that instant, space rippled before him, and a ghostly figure flickered into view. A golden lightning-clad fist appeared right in front of his face.
The attack came so suddenly that even with the Chief of the Hall of Souls's composure, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. However, in the next instant, his instinctive reflexes kicked in as his pitch-black Dou Qi condensed into a tangible black shield.
"Chi!"
The golden lightning-infused punch did not pause, striking the shield head-on. The next moment, the shield shattered under the force of the golden lightning, which then shot straight toward the Chief of the Hall of Souls's eyes like a thunderbolt.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Mo Yu's ruthless opening strike, the Chief of the Hall of Souls snorted coldly, standing firm. Rather than blocking the punch, he countered with a direct palm strike aimed at Mo Yu's heart—an exchange of injuries for injuries!
"A petty trick."
Mo Yu sneered, yet his attack did not stop. Instead, he altered its trajectory, his fist smashing downward precisely onto the Chief's palm. Golden lightning surged forth, rapidly eroding the thick, pitch-black Dou Qi covering his hand.
Sensing the domineering power of the golden lightning, the Chief of the Hall of Souls furrowed his brows. "What kind of lightning is this? I've never heard of it before."
Mo Yu scoffed disdainfully. "There are plenty of things you've never heard of. Why bother asking?"
As his words fell, Mo Yu snorted and unleashed another torrent of golden lightning. The energy condensed into a golden lightning dragon that shot toward the Chief of the Hall of Souls with explosive speed.
Seeing this, the Chief's expression darkened. His figure flickered, leaving behind numerous afterimages as he instantly appeared high in the sky, his gaze shifting to his chest.
A dark claw mark about an inch long had appeared there—a mark left by the golden lightning dragon's claws when he barely dodged in time.
"Oh? Is that the Nine Profound Golden Thunder? Could this brat have subdued the Nine Profound Golden Thunder from the Black Demon Thunder Pool?"
In the distance, Lei Ying's face was filled with shock as he muttered to himself.
As one of the Lei Clan's oldest members, Lei Ying was well aware of the terrifying existence within the Black Demon Thunder Pool. Even he held it in awe and kept his distance.
But to his astonishment, a mere junior like Mo Yu had actually managed to subdue it—an achievement truly beyond expectations.
With the Nine Profound Golden Thunder on his side, the battle's outcome was already clear. Let alone a mid-five-star Dou Sheng like the Chief of the Hall of Souls, even a six-star Dou Sheng like Hun Qianmo might not be Mo Yu's match.
While Lei Ying was feeling both gratified and eager to spar with Mo Yu, the battle continued.
With just the first exchange, the Chief of the Hall of Souls had sustained an injury. Though minor, it was an unsightly one. His expression darkened as he once again charged toward Mo Yu.
Their battle quickly turned into close-quarters combat, both moving at ghostly speeds, clashing and retreating in the blink of an eye.
Only a few with keen eyes could follow their movements, while the majority of the audience could only watch in awe, overwhelmed by the sheer speed and ferocity of the fight.
Mo Yu raised his head to look at the Chief of the Hall of Souls, saying nothing more. His hands moved in a flurry of seals, and in an instant, a thousand-foot-tall soul projection enveloped his body.
"Yellow Springs Divine Anger!"
Against the Chief of the Hall of Souls, Mo Yu did not dare underestimate his opponent. Right from the start, he unleashed the powerful soul attack technique.
"Roar!"
The massive projection opened its mouth, and a terrifying soul-based sound wave erupted at a speed surpassing light, blasting toward the Chief of the Hall of Souls.
"Mo Yu, others may fear your Yellow Springs Divine Anger, but I do not!"
The Chief of the Hall of Souls retreated swiftly as pitch-black Dou Qi exploded from his body, transforming into countless soul phantoms.
These phantoms formed a strange formation around him, kneeling in reverence while emitting piercing soul sound waves.
"Myriad Souls Worship!"
Countless soul sound waves converged before the Chief of the Hall of Souls, condensing into a sonic arrow that shot forth, colliding fiercely with Yellow Springs Divine Anger.
"Woooooo!"
A thunderous wail filled the sky as the two soul attacks clashed. Shockwaves spread outwards, obliterating the countless soul phantoms surrounding the Chief. However, he himself emerged largely unscathed from the onslaught.
"Mo Yu, your soul power is strong, but if you think you can defeat me with it, you're dreaming!" The Chief of the Hall of Souls casually dispersed the last remnants of the attack and spoke confidently.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's brows slightly furrowed. Though he possessed a Half-Step Di Realm soul power, the Chief of the Hall of Souls's soul power had seemingly reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, leaving only a small gap between them.
Unless Mo Yu truly stepped into the Di Realm in terms of soul power, he would find it difficult to completely overpower this Chief of the Hall of Souls.
Mo Yu cast a deep glance at the Chief of the Hall of Souls floating in midair before swiftly forming hand seals. Suddenly, a massive golden dragon, as if forged from pure gold, materialized. Golden lightning crackled across its entire body, arcs of electricity shooting out in all directions.
As the golden lightning dragon writhed in the sky, it released terrifying currents, transforming the entire area into a realm of thunder.
Within the vast Great Emperor Mountain Range, peaks occasionally burst into spontaneous combustion upon being struck by the lightning, sending thick plumes of smoke spiraling into the sky.
Those with weaker strength felt their skin tingle and numb from the golden currents in the air, while the more severely affected found the paralysis creeping into their meridians, inflicting grave internal injuries.
Witnessing this, many were utterly horrified, retreating in panic until they reached the edges of the mountain range, where the numbing sensation finally weakened. Each of them bore expressions of shock and disbelief.
"What kind of lightning is this? How could it be so terrifying?" Some of the Grand Elders from various factions around the mountains exclaimed in astonishment.
Such immense thunderous power, even before being fully unleashed, already displayed devastating might—an ability so fearsome that it was difficult to fathom.
"This is… the Nine Profound Golden Thunder? When did the Lei Clan manage to subdue it?"
Elder Hun Mo furrowed his brows at the sight before him. The Hun Clan had records regarding the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, as it was an existence not inferior to the top three ranked Heavenly Flames. The Hun Clan had once set their sights on the Nine Profound Golden Thunder within the Black Demon Thunder Pool, but even at the cost of sacrificing a Dou Sheng, they had been unable to claim it, ultimately giving up on their ambitions.
Yet today, he was witnessing the Nine Profound Golden Thunder in Mo Yu's hands.
"This kid truly has remarkable fortune," Hun Qianmo sighed. "Even our Hun Clan couldn't do anything about the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, and yet he, with his current level of strength, managed to subdue it. I wonder how much effort the Lei Clan put into this."
"However, this Nine Profound Golden Thunder doesn't seem as formidable as it was when it resided in the Black Demon Thunder Pool. If that's the case, this kid may not find it so easy to defeat Hun Miesheng," Hun Qianmo murmured to himself.
Above the sky, the Chief of the Hall of Souls's eyes remained locked onto the surging golden lightning dragon, his gaze heavy with unease. Even he felt an instinctive dread toward such a monstrous force.
On the opposite side, Mo Yu smiled faintly as he gazed at Xiao Jin, who was radiating an awe-inspiring aura. Over the past half-month, after constantly absorbing the boundless energy of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, Xiao Jin had yet to fully evolve into the true Nine Profound Golden Thunder itself, but it was already no weaker than the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame of the past.
"ROAR!"
At that moment, the golden lightning dragon let out a deafening roar, its colossal form crackling with golden lightning that slashed through space, leaving behind jagged, pitch-black scars.
"Go!"
Mo Yu's hand seals shifted, and he suddenly pointed at the Chief of the Hall of Souls. The golden lightning dragon lifted its head, its dragon eyes void of emotion as it locked onto the Chief of the Hall of Souls before violently lunging forward.
Wherever the dragon passed, a thousand-foot-long ravine was carved into the ground, leaving countless onlookers in stunned silence. Everything that its golden lightning touched disintegrated into nothingness.
"Hiss!"
The golden lightning dragon's speed could only be described as thunderous—so fast that most could only perceive a fleeting golden blur before a web of golden lightning engulfed the Chief of the Hall of Souls, who had barely started to retreat.
The next moment, the colossal golden lightning dragon, carrying destructive force, violently smashed into the Chief of the Hall of Souls!
"BOOM!"
A deep, resounding explosion erupted in the sky. The terrifying golden lightning storm that followed made even the strongest Dou Shengs retreat in fear, lest they be tainted by its devastating energy.
"Has the battle been decided?"
The eyes of the countless spectators across the mountains were fixated on the sky, their murmurs echoing one after another.
Mo Yu's previous attack had been overwhelmingly powerful—if there were no unforeseen circumstances, then it wouldn't be impossible for the battle to have already reached its conclusion.
On the Hall of Souls's side, an eerie silence fell over the crowd. Clearly, they had never anticipated that their Chief would be completely unable to fight back in this exchange.
"Woo woo…"
However, just as everyone believed Mo Yu had won with an absolute advantage, a shadowy figure slowly emerged from the core of the golden lightning storm. At that moment, a bizarre and overwhelming suction force spread across the heavens.
To the shock of all onlookers, the golden lightning surging around the area was being drawn toward the figure, sucked into his body one strand at a time. Under countless astonished gazes, the golden lightning was completely absorbed by the shadowy figure stepping out of the flames.
"He… he absorbed the golden lightning? Is he trying to kill himself?"
The black shadow's actions immediately caused an uproar, as many found it utterly inconceivable.
"Oh… so it's that thing…"
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes as he watched the Chief of the Hall of Souls emerging from the flames, deep in thought.
"To think that lightning would have such a… delightful flavor. I should thank you, Mo Yu, for allowing me to savor such a delicacy…"
Standing in the sky, the Chief of the Hall of Souls smacked his lips, an eerie grin stretching across his face. He looked at Mo Yu, and within his pupils, a strange black flame flickered, exuding an ominous devouring force.
At the same time, the surrounding energy of the heavens and earth was being inexorably drawn into his body, swallowed entirely by that eerie power.
"Are you surprised?"
The Chief of the Hall of Souls chuckled, his expression growing more sinister.
"You possess a mysterious and powerful lightning force, but I, too, have an extremely formidable Heavenly Flame."
As he spoke, the Chief of the Hall of Souls slowly raised his hand. A mass of sinister black flames surged into existence, churning and twisting until they faintly coalesced into a ghostly human face. From the mouth of that face, waves of devouring power erupted, spreading across the sky.
The moment the black flame face appeared, Mo Yu sneered, interrupting the Chief of the Hall of Souls's self-indulgent boasting.
"The Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, does indeed have formidable power."
"However, what you wield is merely a sub-flame at best."
"After all, that's the only thing someone like you is worthy of."
