**
A towering aura surged like a storm from Mo Yu's body, sweeping outward and even causing visible cracks in the surrounding space.
Feeling this overwhelming force, everyone present was visibly shocked, exclaiming, "A Ban Sheng?"
The Third Tianzun, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe, wore an exceptionally grim expression as he gazed at Mo Yu, who now stood almost equal to him in power. A deep sense of astonishment flashed across his eyes.
Although a Ban Sheng hadn't fully stepped into the ranks of Dou Sheng, they were still considered part of the "Sheng-level" hierarchy. Reaching this level created an insurmountable gap compared to previous stages.
This was why the saying held true: "Below the Sheng-level, all are ants."
Due to this, the leap from Dou Zun to Ban Sheng formed a massive chasm. Seeing Mo Yu cross this insurmountable divide, jumping from a Five-Turn Dou Zun to a Ban Sheng, even Hei Guang Sheng Zhe couldn't help but be astonished.
"No... something's not right. He hasn't truly stepped into the Ban Sheng realm—it's as if he's only half a step into it," Hei Guang Sheng Zhe muttered after carefully scrutinizing Mo Yu. A moment later, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a true Ban Sheng, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe could sense that while Mo Yu's aura had skyrocketed in a short time, there was still a subtle gap between him and a genuine Ban Sheng. This gap, though subtle, could be fatal in a battle with a true Ban Sheng.
"Oh, you noticed..." Mo Yu's expression flickered slightly as he caught Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's change in demeanor. His eyebrows lifted as he spoke.
Even with the enhancement of the Perfect Heavenly Thunder Body and Dou Di Bloodline, Mo Yu hadn't truly broken through the threshold of the Ban Sheng realm.
After all, the Sheng-level was not comparable to the Dou Zun realm. The saying "Nine Turns to Sheng" perfectly encapsulated the arduous and intricate journey to break into the Sheng-level.
While Mo Yu could enhance his strength to Dou Zun levels as a Dou Zong through the Heavenly Thunder Body, the same wasn't achievable at Five-Turn Dou Zun.
Still, Mo Yu's strength had surged dramatically, and his half-step Ban Sheng power, coupled with his profound foundation, gave him a fighting chance even against an entry-level Ban Sheng like Hei Guang Sheng Zhe.
"As expected of the Lei Clan's divine-grade bloodline, your means are impressive. All the more reason for me to capture you and present you to the Hall Master for judgment!" Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's voice turned icy as he stared at Mo Yu, a chilling intent flashing in his eyes.
Though Mo Yu hadn't fully stepped into the Ban Sheng realm, his methods were terrifying enough to leave Hei Guang Sheng Zhe deeply apprehensive.
"Oh? Let's see if you have the skill to do that." Mo Yu smirked coldly.
If Hei Guang Sheng Zhe were a mid-level or high-level Ban Sheng, Mo Yu might have found him troublesome. But as an entry-level Ban Sheng, the outcome of the battle was far from certain.
"Mo Yu, this is likely your first time fighting a Ban Sheng. Allow me to show you the insurmountable gap between Dou Zun and Dou Sheng!" Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's eyes gleamed coldly as his sinister voice echoed.
"Don't worry. I won't disappoint you."
Facing Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's chilling declaration, Mo Yu sneered. He raised his palm, revealing a terrifying five-colored thunder orb slowly spinning in his hand.
The orb exuded a destructive aura, so overwhelming it twisted the surrounding space.
Against an entry-level Ban Sheng, Mo Yu decided to unleash his strongest trump card: the Grand Desolate Thunder Orb. This would also serve as an opportunity to test the devastating power of the orb after stepping half a foot into the Ban Sheng realm.
"Cai Lin, activate the city's protective array," Mo Yu ordered, glancing at Cai Lin and the others. The destructive force of the Grand Desolate Thunder Orb was too overwhelming; even he couldn't endure its full force up close, let alone Tian She City.
"Understood. Be careful," Cai Lin replied, her face serious. With her perception, she could naturally sense the terror of the thunder orb in Mo Yu's hand. Without hesitation, she turned to the commanders of the Serpent Empire, nodding solemnly.
The commanders exchanged a stunned glance at Mo Yu before rushing to the control chamber. Their Dou Qi surged as they continuously infused energy into the array core.
With a massive influx of Dou Qi, the city's protective array soon activated. Within moments, a green energy shield enveloped the city.
Mo Yu nodded approvingly. With a flick of his fingers, the Grand Desolate Thunder Orb began to spin rapidly before shooting out as a streak of lightning. Wherever it passed, the space silently crumbled, leaving behind a massive trail of purple-gold spatial fissures.
Though the Grand Desolate Thunder Orb's movement lacked the thunderous momentum of some techniques, seasoned experts could sense the horrifying energy within—like the scythe of death itself.
Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's face turned grim as he watched the devastating thunder orb streak toward him. Exhaling a dark breath, he growled:
"Ten Thousand Demons Black Light Shield!"
With a sinister voice, an overwhelming black light erupted from Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's body. Wails and screams filled the air as the black light coalesced from countless tortured souls.
The black light condensed into a massive shield glowing with a sinister hue. Countless tiny shield fragments covered its surface, each bearing a grimacing face twisted in agony. Together, they formed a massive ten-zhang face filled with anguish, sending chills down the spines of those who saw it.
"Mo Yu, let's see if your thunder orb can penetrate the Ten Thousand Demons Black Light Shield!" Hei Guang Sheng Zhe roared as the thunder orb closed in.
The thunder orb collided with the shield in an instant.
For a moment, silence enveloped the world, as though even the wind had ceased. But the quiet was fleeting—an earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted in the sky.
A massive storm of thunder, a thousand meters wide, engulfed the area. The blast shattered space, creating vast black voids. The shockwaves swept downward, tearing through the earth, leaving the land riddled with fissures that spread like an earthquake.
Everyone stared in pale-faced horror at the apocalyptic storm of destruction unfurling in the sky.
The faces of the Fourth Tianzun grew increasingly grim. They could hardly fathom how Mo Yu, at the pinnacle of Five Turn Dou Zun, could unleash such a terrifying attack, even with the aid of some special means.
The explosion of the thunder orb had reached a level of power that even most mid-tier Tian Class Dou Techniques couldn't achieve.
Even the azure protective barrier over Heavenly Snake City trembled violently, on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, and the others intervened in time, barely managing to withstand the aftershocks and prevent damage to the city below.
"Shriek!"
The thunderstorm, brimming with devastating primal energy, engulfed the sky. Those from the Profound Lion Sect and the Hall of Souls attacking Heavenly Snake City weren't as fortunate. Explosions rang out as they were reduced to nothingness.
"Boom!"
In the skies, the thunderstorm raged with destructive power, sweeping across its domain. Any living creature within its range was subjected to annihilation.
In mere moments, the majority of the Profound Lion Sect and Hall of Souls' forces had been eradicated. The remaining strong individuals, horrified by the scene, quickly fled, not daring to approach the thunder-filled zone.
Even the Fourth Tianzun involuntarily swallowed hard and backed away from the battlefield's center. Their eyes, filled with shock, focused on the silver-eyed youth in the distance.
This youth's methods were truly terrifying!
Mo Yu stood high in the sky, gazing at the spectacular thunderstorm with an expression that remained tense.
This was his first time confronting a Ban Sheng expert. While the Grand Desolate Thunder orb's power was immense, he also understood the terrifying might of a Ban Sheng.
These ancient, almost mythical figures were exceptionally powerful, even among clans like the Lei Clan and the Gu Clan. It would be naïve to think such an opponent could fall so easily.
Under the gaze of Mo Yu and everyone else, the thunderstorm raging across the sky began to gradually weaken. As it subsided, the once-ravaged space slowly began to restore itself.
Mo Yu's eyes locked onto the storm's center. As the lightning receded, a massive black shield, about ten meters tall, reappeared in everyone's sight.
"It actually withstood it!"
Seeing the black shield still standing in the air, the Fourth Tianzun and the Hall of Souls' experts were overjoyed. In contrast, the other side felt their hearts sink. Such a formidable attack failed to leave any noticeable damage. Was a Ban Sheng truly this powerful?
Mo Yu's expression tightened as his unwavering gaze fixed on the black shield. He refused to believe that the Grand Desolate Thunder orb's power couldn't harm Hei Guang Sheng Zhe in the slightest.
"Crack!"
As Mo Yu focused intently, a faint cracking sound suddenly came from the black shield. Then, under astonished gazes, a fragment of the shield fell.
"Crack, crack!"
After the first fragment broke off, more and more pieces of the shield began to fall like snowflakes.
In just moments, the seemingly indestructible black shield was riddled with cracks. Finally, with a loud "bang," the massive shield shattered into fragments. The powerful soul energy within it frantically fled back into Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's body.
The joy in the Hall of Souls' experts' eyes instantly froze as they witnessed this.
The shattered black shield revealed Hei Guang Sheng Zhe spitting a mouthful of blood. His once cold and stern face turned ghastly pale, and fresh blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.
Wiping the blood from his lips, the Third Tianzun, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe, slowly raised his head and said coldly, "Impressive. As someone with divine-grade bloodline, Mo Yu, you indeed have some skill. However, even though you've injured me, I can still take your life!"
"Whoosh!"
Before Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's chilling voice finished, Mo Yu's figure flickered and suddenly appeared in front of him, catching him off guard.
In an instant, a fist wrapped in purple-gold lightning, carrying terrifying force, struck fiercely toward Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's head.
"Hmph!"
The sudden attack caused Hei Guang Sheng Zhe to lose focus momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure. Suppressing his injuries, he swiftly raised his black-glowing hand to meet the purple-gold lightning fist.
"Clang!"
As the two forces clashed, a crisp metallic sound echoed across the sky.
Mo Yu was pushed back a dozen steps, a half-inch palm imprint left on his lightning-clad fist. Even an injured Ban Sheng's counterattack was terrifyingly potent.
Thankfully, Mo Yu wore the Ancient Bug Emperor Armor, which absorbed most of the force, leaving him relatively unharmed.
"You're too green to kill this Sheng!"
Hei Guang Sheng Zhe also stumbled back a step but soon stabilized himself. His cold eyes scrutinized Mo Yu before sneering, "Even with a special armor, you're no match for me."
"Since you've already used your so-called Grand Desolate Thunder orb, it's time for you to come with me!"
Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's expression grew cruel. He hadn't expected to be severely injured by a junior. He knew his overconfidence had cost him dearly; otherwise, the thunder orb might have inflicted irreparable damage.
As his voice fell, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's massive hand reached toward Mo Yu, conjuring a black spectral hand that attempted to seize him.
However, Mo Yu remained motionless, his face calm, even lifting the corner of his mouth into a faint smile.
Seeing this, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe felt an ominous premonition. But with no time to reconsider, he gritted his teeth and directed the black hand toward Mo Yu.
Just as the spectral hand neared, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His face changed drastically as he sensed something amiss. Within his body, black lotuses began to bloom, spreading ominously.
As the black lotuses bloomed, the soul energy he had absorbed began to spiral out of control, akin to sitting atop a volcano on the brink of eruption.
Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's fear deepened as a voice, chilling like a devil's whisper, reached his ears.
Across from him, Mo Yu smiled faintly and said, "Third Tianzun, did you think I had lost?"
