Chapter 777: The Skyshaking Ape Clan, Sun He
"Five hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Liquid — I want that bone fragment!"
A domineering shout suddenly rang out, filled with unquestionable authority. As the voice echoed, a figure broke through the air, slicing straight toward Mo Yu, his eyes locked on the gray-white bone fragment in Mo Yu's hand.
The attack came too suddenly, and the intruder's speed was overwhelmingly fast — no one had time to react. Nearby, Mang Lie and the others could only widen their eyes, watching in shock as the figure lunged forward.
Just as the intruder's hand was about to grab the bone fragment, a slender palm appeared out of thin air, sharply slamming down.
A terrifying power erupted and collided with the attacker, producing a harsh screeching sound. The man's momentum stopped dead.
The owner of that palm — naturally — was Mo Yu, whose expression remained indifferent.
"Not for sale."
His calm words were followed by a violent surge of power from his palm. The blast sent the dark figure flying back like a struck beast, forcing a muffled grunt from his throat.
Only then did Mang Yu and the others recover from their shock. Their furious gazes snapped toward the intruder — a tall man dressed in black, his long arms resembling those of an ape. A shadow of raw hostility darkened his handsome but grim face.
Mo Yu's icy eyes locked onto him. He could faintly sense a familiar aura within the man — one he couldn't immediately place. His brows knit slightly. "You attack without a word of warning. Has your clan forgotten what manners are?"
The black-clad stranger stiffened, but quickly sneered. "You bought that thing for three hundred thousand Supreme Spirit Liquid. I'm offering five hundred thousand — more than fair, considering the seller's original price."
"Unreasonable."
Mo Yu's tone grew colder, cutting and absolute. "Get lost."
"How dare you!"
The man's face contorted with rage. He raised his hand, gathering an immense wave of energy that twisted into a spiraling tempest.
With a roar, the whirlwind of force surged forward, wild and destructive.
This man, though arrogant, was far from weak. His aura clearly marked him as a seventh-rank Supreme, and among his rank, he was far from ordinary.
Mo Yu met the incoming storm with an unflinching gaze. His fist struck out in a simple, direct motion — fast as a lightning bolt.
Bang!
The force storm shattered instantly, its power obliterated into nothingness.
The backlash sent the man flying backward, stumbling dozens of steps before stopping. A flicker of blood trailed from the corner of his mouth.
The entire confrontation had happened in the blink of an eye. Only when the man fell back did the bystanders truly register what had happened. Then gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd.
"Isn't that Sun Ba of the Skyshaking Ape Clan?"
Hearing the name, Mo Yu's heart shifted slightly. So, that explained the familiar aura he had sensed — this man was from the Skyshaking Ape Clan.
As Mo Yu realized this, Sun Ba grimaced, the pain coursing through him unbelievable. He could hardly accept that he had been overpowered by one of equal rank with a single punch.
"How dare you injure me… You're courting death!" Sun Ba hissed, his words dripping with lethal intent.
"Say another word, and I'll end you right here," Mo Yu said coldly. A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Though Sun Ba was of the same lineage as the beast whose blood Mo Yu had refined, Mo Yu held no bond with the Skyshaking Ape Clan — and would not hesitate to kill him if necessary.
"Heh. Arrogant words. I'd like to see who dares harm the Skyshaking Ape Clan…"
Before Mo Yu could respond, a hoarse sneer cut through the air. The crowd parted as several figures slowly emerged from the distance.
At their head was a man dressed in black. He was slim, handsome, and fanned himself idly with a folding fan — the very picture of refinement. Yet his long, narrow eyes flickered with dangerous light, sharp enough to cut.
Mo Yu's brows furrowed slightly. From this man, he felt an intense ripple of threat — one far beyond what Sun Ba carried.
"It's Sun He of the Skyshaking Ape Clan! So he's here too!"
"Sun He? The clan's greatest prodigy in centuries — they say he's already mastered the Skyshaking Arm. He's strong enough to stand against the top talents of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans!"
The whispers spread rapidly through the crowd.
"Sun He?"
Mo Yu looked up, narrowing his eyes faintly. If what they said was true — that this so-called prodigy had mastered the Skyshaking Arm — then displaying his own Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm before them would truly blind their eyes with awe.
The black-clad youth regarded Mo Yu coolly. "You've struck one of my clan — and dared to speak with such insolence. Do you truly think the Skyshaking Ape Clan is beneath you?"
Mo Yu's tone turned low and thunderous. "Leave."
The word echoed like rolling thunder, shaking those who heard it.
Sun He's faint smile froze. His expression darkened, replaced by chilling fury. Beneath his calm exterior, the ground cracked as terrifying force pulsed within him.
His gaze turned venomous. "Hand over the bone fragment. Then cut off your tongue, and I'll let you crawl out alive."
Mo Yu chuckled. "And what exactly do you think you are?"
"Very well," Sun He seethed, his voice trembling with anger. "You've just signed your death warrant!"
Boom!
With his final word, his energy detonated. Violent spiritual power burst forth, radiating suffocating pressure.
Sun He's strength — a half-step into the eighth-rank Supreme realm!
His right arm swelled, the once-slender limb bulging like a coiled dragon, emanating monstrous physical force.
None had expected that this seemingly delicate scholar possessed such terrifying raw power.
Sun He locked onto Mo Yu, his muscles tense like compressed steel. The ground beneath him shattered, cracks spiderwebbing outward for hundreds of feet.
"Rumble!"
He launched forward with blinding speed, his right fist glowing like molten gold as he unleashed the power of earth and sky combined.
The strike distorted the air; a massive compressed shockwave formed ahead of his punch, then exploded outward like a cannon blast, whistling with piercing force and destructive wind.
Even an elite seventh-rank Supreme would have been crippled by that blow.
Yet Mo Yu stood unmoved. Golden-violet light gleamed across his body, radiating indestructibility.
He answered with a single punch. Veins bulged beneath his skin as pure power surged forth — his strike meeting Sun He's head-on.
Boom!
The two forces collided violently. Mo Yu didn't move an inch, but he could feel the brute force trying to invade and tear through his body.
This was the first time since entering the Divine Beast Plains that anyone had managed to make Mo Yu feel pressure in a physical clash.
But a cold snort left his lips as he shattered that invading power with ease. Strong as Sun He's flesh might be, it was nothing compared to his own.
Sun He froze in disbelief. How could his killing strike be stopped so effortlessly?
With a thunderous stomp, Mo Yu's figure blurred, vanishing into a streak of violet-gold light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Sun He, moving at a speed that made onlookers' hearts lurch.
Violet-gold light flared in Mo Yu's eyes. He raised his palm — gathering flesh, blood, and spirit power into one devastating strike. The blow sliced faint black scars in the air itself, warping space.
Gasps erupted around them. Even seasoned masters recognized that this palm strike — though seemingly light — carried destructive might capable of annihilating top-tier Supremes.
Feeling that oppressive gale, Sun He's expression finally hardened. The arrogance vanished from his eyes, replaced by grim focus. For the first time, he sensed real danger.
And strangely, beneath his rising fear, he also felt an odd familiarity emanating from Mo Yu.
He thrust aside the thought. There was no retreat. His teeth clenched as black spiritual light flooded his arm, transforming it into gleaming, iron-like darkness — icy, ancient power spreading from it.
The Skyshaking Arm!
A unique divine art of the Skyshaking Ape Clan, and one of their deadliest. Few in the clan's history had ever cultivated it successfully — and among the younger generation, Sun He alone had reached mastery.
From nearby, Sun Ba sneered coldly. "Our leader has used his strongest move now. That kid is doomed."
He and the others watched with cruel satisfaction — believing Mo Yu's death certain.
However, beneath countless watching eyes, Mo Yu remained calm. Instead of fear, a faint hint of amusement danced across his lips.
"The Skyshaking Arm, is it..." he murmured softly. Then clenched his fist.
Brilliant violet-gold light burst from his arm, surging skyward.
Since you want to show off the Skyshaking Arm... then allow me to show you what the true Skyshaking Arm looks like.
His arm gleamed with radiant power, as a weighty, invisible pressure swept over Sun He.
The moment he saw it, Sun He's face turned deathly pale. The familiar but vastly superior energy — that overwhelming might — could only mean one thing.
The Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm!
Boom!
Terror seized Sun He. His own Skyshaking Arm bent uncontrollably under the pressure, his strength collapsing.
Bang!
Mo Yu's expression stayed frozen in calm as his Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm trembled, unleashing a thunderous blow. The roaring fist wind sent Sun He flying hundreds of meters, gouging a deep scar into the ground before he managed to stop himself.
He spat a mouthful of blood, his formidable spiritual power instantly weakening — severely injured.
His pale face twisted with disbelief as his gaze locked onto Mo Yu's unmoving figure. Grinding his teeth, he rasped out,
"The... Heaven... Shaking... Divine... Arm!"
Around them, silence reigned. The gathered powerhouses from all races stood stunned. The violet-gold light faded from Mo Yu's arm, leaving only the calm figure of a youth who seemed utterly ordinary once more.
Yet everyone present knew what terrifying power lay hidden beneath that calm exterior.
Whispers rippled through the crowd once more — eyes trembling as they looked at Mo Yu.
The Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm?
