Mo Yu shouted as he assessed the situation on the battlefield.
Xiao Yan, cutting down a few Hall of Souls guards in rapid succession, called out loudly, "Master has been rescued. Everyone, follow Cousin Mo Yu and retreat!"
In the sky, Feng Zun Zhe and the others, hearing the shouts from Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, showed a trace of joy on their faces.
However, their opponents were relentless, launching ferocious attacks to keep them entangled, preventing any chance of escape.
Seeing the chaotic battle raging above, Mo Yu frowned deeply. This situation was far more complicated than he had anticipated.
"Hiss hiss!"
Mo Yu’s sudden appearance naturally caught the attention of some Hall of Souls experts nearby. Three figures darted toward him, wielding black chains like sharp spears, aiming straight for Mo Yu’s head.
"Scram!"
Sensing the attack, Mo Yu’s face darkened. He thrust his hand out, grabbing all three chains in one swift motion.
With a shake of his arm, a green poisonous dragon roared from his sleeve, streaking along the chains and smashing into the chests of the three Hall of Souls protectors.
In an instant, the protectors’ bodies were engulfed by sinister, corrosive lightning. Before long, their flesh decayed into nothingness.
Seeing Mo Yu easily defeat three protectors, the surrounding Hall of Souls experts froze in fear, halting their charge and no longer daring to advance recklessly.
"Since you’re here, none of you are leaving!"
Just as Mo Yu was about to retreat after repelling the protectors, the massive hall roof suddenly shattered. A figure shot into the sky, a cold laugh echoing across the heavens.
"That’s... Ninth Tianzun!"
Mo Yu’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing the laughter.
"Spatial Barrier, Seal!"
High in the sky, Ninth Tianzun swept his cold gaze over the chaotic battlefield before locking onto Mo Yu below. His expression darkened further as he rapidly formed a series of complex hand seals, his voice booming.
As Ninth Tianzun’s words fell, the space within the valley began to ripple violently. Distortions spread like wrinkles on a fabric, forming a visible spatial barrier in the air.
"That’s... Ninth Tianzun?"
Feng Zun Zhe, entangled in his own fierce battle, noticed the scene and paled, exclaiming in shock.
"Good, good! Seven Dou Zuns attacking our Hall of Souls—you’re courting death!" Ninth Tianzun shot a cold glance at Feng Zun Zhe and his comrades, his voice laced with venom.
Feng Zun Zhe’s face was grim as he struck his opponent, a Hall of Souls elder at the Three-Star Dou Zun level, forcing him back. The situation had spiraled out of control.
Ninth Tianzun was a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun, a formidable force. His arrival completely overturned the battlefield, turning their retreat into a potential slaughter.
"If I finish off this brat, I’ll show you all that my Hall of Souls isn’t a place you can come and go as you please!"
Ninth Tianzun sneered, his icy gaze locking onto Mo Yu. "With just the strength of a One-Star Dou Zun, you dare to toy with me? This is the first time anyone’s dared to humiliate me like this!"
His voice fell, and with a light step in the void, he advanced toward Mo Yu. A torrent of dark rain mist surged from his body, filling the sky with suffocating pressure.
The sight of Ninth Tianzun’s menacing approach made Mo Yu’s face tense.
It was clear that this old man intended to personally take his life.
Though Mo Yu was formidable, there was still a significant gap between his strength and that of a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun.
Yet, Mo Yu wasn’t without his cards to play.
"Heh, Ninth Tianzun, are you not afraid of my means to slay even Ban Sheng?" Mo Yu taunted with a cold smile.
"Impudent brat! Do you take me for a fool?" Ninth Tianzun’s fury flared, his dignity as a top-tier Dou Zun trampled by Mo Yu’s repeated provocations.
Without further delay, Ninth Tianzun appeared above Mo Yu in a flash. His hands formed a seal, and a sinister black claw emerged, exuding a deathly chill as if it came from the depths of an abyss.
"Nine Abyss Nether Claw!"
The black claw materialized as Ninth Tianzun let out a roar, and it slashed downward at Mo Yu’s chest with ruthless force.
"Shhh!"
The claw tore through the void in an instant, appearing right before Mo Yu. The oppressive aura of the claw sent waves of dread coursing through him.
Mo Yu’s eyes flickered, his hands quickly forming seals. In a flash, a thunder armor appeared on his body, and his aura surged to that of a Four-Star Dou Zun.
Seeing Mo Yu’s sudden surge in strength, Feng Zun Zhe was visibly shocked. In just moments, Mo Yu had reached his level!
Ninth Tianzun was briefly stunned. A Four-Star Dou Zun? That rivaled even some of Hall of Souls’s Tianzun.
This only fueled his killing intent. The power behind the black claw intensified as it descended.
"Heh, Ninth Tianzun, don’t think I’m helpless against you!" Mo Yu’s eyes gleamed coldly as he sneered.
In truth, Mo Yu wasn’t bluffing. He did possess the means to slay Ban Sheng.
However, the Black Thunder Talisman only had one use left. He cherished it greatly and wouldn’t use it unless absolutely necessary.
As formidable as Ninth Tianzun was, in Mo Yu’s eyes, he wasn’t worth using the Black Thunder Talisman.
Yes, even a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun wasn’t worthy!
Seeing Mo Yu’s cold smirk, Ninth Tianzun’s eyelids twitched. Just as his claw was about to strike, his expression shifted slightly.
Mo Yu held out his hand, and a terrifying thunder orb, composed of five different colors, floated in his palm. A chilling, destructive force radiated from it.
The orb, no larger than a palm, appeared dazzlingly beautiful, yet the destructive energy it concealed sent shivers down spines.
"Such terrifying destructive power..."
Even the five Hall of Souls elders in the distance turned pale at the sight. The thunder orb’s energy filled them with dread.
"This thunder orb is similar to my Flame Lotus. It seems Cousin Mo Yu’s mastery over lightning has grown significantly..." Xiao Yan murmured in awe.
Mo Yu’s fusion of lightning wasn’t new to him; they had once used it together to decimate the Yun Lan Sect.
"These lightning techniques are profound," Yao Lao commented in Xiao Yan’s mind. "Each one rivals a Heavenly Flame. Mo Yu’s origins must be extraordinary to have mastered so many rare and powerful Thunder Soul."
"I hope Cousin Mo Yu can defeat Ninth Tianzun," Xiao Yan muttered.
Defeating a Five-Star Dou Zun and battling a peak Eight-Star Dou Zun—Mo Yu’s feats were awe-inspiring.
"Using a four-star Dou Zun to fight against an eight-star Dou Zun, Mo Yu still has a decent chance of winning..." Yao Lao said slowly.
"Mm," Xiao Yan nodded heavily, his eyes fixed intently on the battlefield, his face grave.
"With just the strength of a one-star Dou Zun, how could this brat unleash such a terrifying attack?"
On the battlefield, the corner of Ninth Tianzun’s mouth twitched. His eyes surged with killing intent—this person must not be allowed to live!
Seeing the violent killing intent erupting in Ninth Tianzun’s eyes, Mo Yu’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"Now, let this Ninth Tianzun of the Hall of Souls experience the true power of five peak-grade Thunder Souls!"
Mo Yu’s arm trembled slightly as the Destruction Thunder Orb shot forth, transforming into a streak of lightning that sped toward the nearby Ninth Tianzun.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion resounded the moment the Thunder Orb left Mo Yu’s hand.
At that instant, a destructive force swept across the sky like a storm, causing the entire mountain range to tremble violently as though struck by an earthquake.
Massive fissures spread outward from the valley, reaching in all directions.
The enormous Hall of Souls shook under the tremors, teetering precariously. Many powerful members of the Hall of Souls scattered in panic, their faces filled with terror.
"Bang!"
As the destructive force spread, a sinister claw of water finally struck, landing heavily on Mo Yu’s chest. The immense power of the water element surged like a tsunami, erupting with explosive force!
"Pfft!"
Enduring such a fatal blow, Mo Yu’s face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mist.
The sound of bones cracking echoed from his chest as his body was flung backward like a cannonball by the terrifying force.
Even as he was sent flying, a cold grin appeared on Mo Yu’s lips. At that moment, he saw Ninth Tianzun’s face, filled with fear and horror.
The Destruction Thunder Orb had exploded.
"Boom!"
A thunderstorm hundreds of feet wide erupted in an instant. Viewed from below, the storm seemed to connect heaven and earth, like a divine miracle.
The raging thunderstorm spread destruction like ripples.
Within the valley, the massive, sturdy black hall finally collapsed. Numerous powerful members of the Hall of Souls were reduced to black ashes with a single "puff" sound as they were engulfed by the wave of destruction.
The destructive force spread thousands of meters, turning everything within its range into barren land. The dense forest was reduced to nothingness in an instant.
"Bang!"
Mo Yu’s body, flung backward, crashed into a mountainside, causing massive rocks to tumble and bury him beneath them.
Immediately, a black shadow flashed toward him, shattering the rocks and rescuing Mo Yu.
"Thank you, Cousin Xiao Yan." Seeing who it was, Mo Yu coughed twice before smiling weakly.
At this moment, Mo Yu’s face was deathly pale, and his aura was incredibly feeble. The thunder armor that had once protected him was shattered.
"It’s me who should be apologizing for putting Cousin Mo Yu in such a dangerous situation."
Xiao Yan, seeing the usually elegant and dashing Mo Yu in such a miserable state for the first time, spoke with deep guilt.
As he spoke, Xiao Yan quickly retrieved a top-grade healing pill from his storage ring and handed it to Mo Yu.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of rushing wind echoed in the air as Feng Zunzhe, Tie Jian Zunzhe, and others hurried over. Their expressions changed drastically upon seeing Mo Yu covered in blood.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine," Mo Yu said, shaking his head gently at their worried expressions.
Fortunately, the thunder armor had absorbed the critical blow at the last moment. Otherwise, facing an attack from an eight-star Dou Zun, he would either be dead or severely injured.
Within the valley, the raging thunderstorm swept across the heavens. Mo Yu’s silver eyes narrowed slightly. Although he sensed that Ninth Tianzun’s aura had weakened considerably, it had not completely dissipated.
It was clear that killing an eight-star Dou Zun was no easy task.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu swallowed the healing pill Xiao Yan had given him. As his Dou Qi rapidly recovered, he quickly formed hand seals. A spatial door, about two meters long, materialized before them.
With a cold shout from Mo Yu, the spatial door slowly opened, and a dense, silvery thunderous glow surged forth, enveloping Mo Yu and the others.
"Ninth Tianzun has been gravely injured. Let’s take this chance to retreat!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan and the others nodded excitedly.
Seeing this, Mo Yu’s hand seals changed abruptly. A terrifying suction force erupted from the spatial door, instantly pulling everyone inside.
As they disappeared, the spatial door trembled and faded into nothingness.
At the moment the spatial door vanished, the terrifying thunderstorm that had engulfed the world finally dissipated. A frail, blood-covered elderly figure gradually appeared.
This figure was none other than the severely injured Ninth Tianzun.
Seeing the destroyed black hall, the corpses scattered across the land, and even the uncertain life and death of the five Elders, Ninth Tianzun coughed up another mouthful of blood. His face twisted in fury as he roared in rage:
"Damn you, brat from the Lei Clan! I swear I’ll tear you to pieces!!"
