**
The terrifying and eerie black lotus spread out from the surroundings of the Third Tianzun, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe. In an instant, Hei Guang's expression underwent a drastic change.
"What's going on with my… my body?"
Feeling the uncontrollable turmoil of the soul power he had absorbed within himself, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe could no longer concern himself with Mo Yu. He immediately retracted his internal dou qi, focusing solemnly on the unusual changes occurring inside his body.
Noticing this, Mo Yu squinted slightly at Hei Guang Sheng Zhe. A faint smile played on his lips as the black lotus flame in his left palm rippled once again.
As the ripples of the Black Lotus Soul Thunder spread, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's face turned dark as he glanced at Mo Yu.
It was evident that Mo Yu was the mastermind behind all of this.
Though unclear on what technique Mo Yu was employing, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe felt an intense sense of danger descending upon him.
Before Hei Guang Sheng Zhe could think further, his soul energy erupted into chaotic ripples due to the unexpected assault. His dou qi churned desperately, attempting to suppress the uninvited Black Lotus Soul Thunder within him.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's smile deepened.
The Black Lotus Soul Thunder excelled in drawing upon a person's soul power within a certain range. Not only could it cause chaos within the soul, but in severe cases, it could even devour the target's soul power or implant a soul imprint, turning the victim into a slave to the caster.
Under normal circumstances, Mo Yu's power would be insufficient to cause a Ban Sheng's soul energy to spiral out of control. After all, if the Black Lotus Soul Thunder were truly this overpowering, it would undoubtedly top the Thunder Soul Rankings.
However, exceptions exist in all things. First, during the Hall of Souls' sweep across the Northwestern Region, they collected the souls of many powerful beings. Hei Guang Sheng Zhe had devoured a vast number of these foreign souls.
Despite being a Ban Sheng, fully assimilating such a massive amount of soul power in such a short time was impossible. This gave Mo Yu the perfect opportunity.
Moreover, during his battle against Mo Yu's Grand Desolate Thunder Orb, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe barely managed to fend off the attack but suffered significant injuries. The shattered Black Shield further added to his woes as the lingering soul energy returned to his body. Seizing the moment, Mo Yu silently mixed the Black Lotus Soul Thunder into that soul energy, allowing it to infiltrate Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's body unnoticed.
This maneuver was akin to inviting a wolf into the house.
Had he been in peak condition, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe might have been able to suppress the Black Lotus Soul Thunder's eruption.
However, already gravely injured from the Grand Desolate Thunder Orb, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe now faced the chaos triggered by the Black Lotus Soul Thunder. The foreign soul energy within him, still not fully assimilated, spiraled into a violent upheaval.
While the current Black Lotus Soul Thunder summoned by Mo Yu couldn't directly obliterate a Ban Sheng, it could certainly throw them into disarray and chaos.
And in battles between strong opponents, even a momentary lapse could decisively determine victory or defeat.
Watching Hei Guang Sheng Zhe, whose face had flushed red with the chaotic turmoil of his soul energy, Mo Yu's lips curved into a cold smile. Silver lightning flickered under his feet, and his figure vanished like a ghost. Just before disappearing, the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear materialized in his grasp.
"Shh!"
A faint sound of something tearing through the air resounded. While Hei Guang Sheng Zhe struggled to command his soul energy to suppress the intruding Black Lotus Soul Thunder, his skin suddenly prickled with alarm. Looking up in horror, he saw a streak of black light speeding toward him.
"Boom!"
Primodial Ancestral Thunder surged upon the spear tip, unleashing a terrifying energy that crashed downward with the force of an ancient calamity. Judging by its power, even the formidable Hei Guang Sheng Zhe would suffer grievous injury if struck.
In this moment of life and death, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe displayed his seasoned combat experience and sharp instincts. Enduring the disruption caused by the Black Lotus Soul Thunder, he gathered formidable dou qi into his palm, forming a strange black crystalline barrier that he thrust toward the incoming spear.
"Clang!"
The spear struck the crystalline barrier with a deafening clang. The immense power unleashed by the attack caused Hei Guang Sheng Zhe's face to flush as cracks spread across the crystalline shield like a spiderweb.
"Bang!"
Though he managed to block the potentially fatal spear strike, Hei Guang Sheng Zhe had no time to evade the sharp gale that followed. It slammed into his chest with devastating force.
The explosive power hurled Hei Guang Sheng Zhe hundreds of meters through the air before he crashed heavily into the ground, creating a massive crater dozens of meters wide before finally coming to a stop.
Two strikes—a spear and a kick—had left the Ban Sheng severely injured and in utter disarray. Witnessing this near one-sided battle, the gathered experts, including the Fourth Tianzun, couldn't help but draw in sharp breaths.
Under their astonished gazes, the Third Tianzun was violently hurled into the distant forest. Thunderous electricity filled the air, transforming the woods into a sea of lightning.
In the sky, the sound of rushing wind signaled Mo Yu's ghostly figure appearing above the forest. His gaze was cold as he surveyed the area below.
The two consecutive strikes earlier had likely left the severely injured Third Tianzun on the brink of death. If unlucky, he might already have perished.
"To eradicate weeds, one must remove the roots."
Mo Yu's eyes flickered coldly. Clenching his palm, a pillar of lightning, tinged with purple, gold, and faint green hues, shot forth, crashing into the giant crater where traces of the Third Tianzun's aura lingered.
"Boom!"
The lightning swept through the forest, scorching the damp earth black and reducing all the trees in its path to ash, erasing everything in its wake.
"Pfft!"
At the end of the lightning's path, the grievously weakened Third Tianzun, clinging to his last breath, managed to produce a jade scroll from his palm and crush it with his remaining strength.
"Shhh!"
As the jade scroll shattered, a spatial black hole appeared beside the Third Tianzun, emitting a powerful suction that engulfed him in an instant.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the Third Tianzun vanished, a streak of light shot into the forest, arriving at his previous position. Observing the lingering spatial distortion, Mo Yu frowned slightly and murmured, "He escaped rather quickly."
At this moment, Mo Yu gained a new understanding of the resilience of Ban Sheng experts.
Despite enduring such ferocious attacks, the opponent was still clinging to life, albeit barely.
Although he hadn't completely killed the Third Tianzun, Mo Yu wasn't in a rush. The injuries sustained by the Third Tianzun would leave permanent repercussions even if he were healed.
Moreover, with Mo Yu's talent, given some time to cultivate, dealing with the Third Tianzun in the future would be as simple as lifting a finger.
Mo Yu exhaled lightly, his face faintly pale. After consecutive battles with two Tianzun-level experts from the Hall of Souls, including the Third Tianzun, who was a genuine Ban Sheng, even his strength and foundation were somewhat taxed.
If not for the Ancient Bug Emperor Armor acting as his protective gear, he might have already fallen, let alone launched a counterattack.
As Mo Yu relaxed slightly, a black, lotus-shaped flame suddenly surged out from the direction where the Third Tianzun had fled, returning to his body.
"Almost at the mature stage, huh..."
Sensing the growth of the Black Lotus Soul Thunder within him, Mo Yu was momentarily startled before a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Although he hadn't completely killed the Third Tianzun, the battle wasn't without its rewards. The souls collected by the Hall of Souls in the northwestern region were all entrusted to the Third Tianzun as the person in charge.
While the northwestern region was impoverished, it still had no shortage of Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs. The massive accumulation of soul energy was a significant treasure trove.
When the Black Lotus Soul Thunder erupted within the Third Tianzun, it absorbed a portion of this immense soul energy. With such rich nourishment, it was now only a step away from maturity...
"The harvest wasn't bad, and the crisis for the Serpent Empire has also been resolved."
Mo Yu's Demonic Phoenix Bone Wings gently flapped as he soared out of the forest, reappearing in the sky.
The sight of Mo Yu emerging unscathed while the Third Tianzun's fate remained uncertain caused the experts of the Hall of Souls to panic. Realizing the situation was beyond salvage, they quickly conjured black mist to escape.
As for the Fourth Tianzun, Xue He, he had fled immediately when the Third Tianzun retreated, using a spatial jade slip to vanish.
"Manor Lord Mo, please show mercy. We were forced into this by the Hall of Souls."
Some other experts and sects coerced by the Hall of Souls hastily pleaded in alarm.
They hadn't anticipated Mo Yu's overwhelming power, defeating two extraordinarily terrifying opponents on his own. None dared to resist anymore.
Mo Yu glanced indifferently at these opportunists but didn't pursue them. Although detestable, they still held some influence within the northwestern region. Killing them all would harm the development of both the Serpent Empire and the continent as a whole.
As someone from the northwestern region, Mo Yu didn't want to see it become even more impoverished and backward.
After a moment of contemplation, he spoke indifferently, "You may leave, but one life for another—hand over the people of the Profound Lion Sect in exchange for your own."
The expression of the Profound Lion Sect's experts changed drastically upon hearing this. The other forces, after a brief hesitation, revealed ruthless glints in their eyes and turned on their former allies.
The sky once again erupted into a chaotic battle, but this time, the forces of the Flame Alliance were merely spectators enjoying the show.
"Such shamelessness. But young master, you're truly remarkable. Even a Sheng-level expert couldn't defeat you," Qing Lin said, her gaze full of admiration as she watched the battle unfold.
While Mo Yu had always been unbeatable in her eyes, seeing him prevail against a Sheng-level opponent left her deeply astonished.
"Haha, the Third Tianzun was merely a newly ascended Ban Sheng, and my techniques happened to counter him. That's how I defeated him," Mo Yu replied with a faint smile.
His words were true—the Black Lotus Soul Thunder was a natural nemesis for Hall of Souls experts. Against a more experienced Ban Sheng, the outcome might have been different.
Of course, Mo Yu's thoughts didn't reflect how others would perceive his feat. If word of his victory reached Central Plains, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar.
In the vast history of the continent, Ban Shengs were revered as Shengs, and the saying "beneath the Sheng level, all are ants" was deeply ingrained. Mo Yu's achievement of defeating a Ban Sheng as a Five Turn Dou Zun was nothing short of earth-shattering.
Ignoring Mo Yu's modesty, Qing Lin continued gazing at him with admiration, her smile soft and radiant.
After ten minutes of battle, the Profound Lion Sect's experts suffered devastating losses. Without leaders to command them, their forces scattered in disarray.
Casting a glance at the battlefield, Mo Yu knew the Profound Lion Sect was finished. The sect would no longer exist on the northwestern region.
Exhaling lightly, Mo Yu descended onto the walls of Heavenly Snake City. His return was greeted with thunderous cheers from the entire city.
"The Serpent Empire will never fall! Long live His Highness, the King!"
As he landed, the ground-shaking cheers from the crowd brought a faint smile to Mo Yu's face.
It seemed his relationship with Cai Lin was no longer a secret among the Serpent Empire.
Reflecting on this, Mo Yu chuckled inwardly. His list of women was indeed growing, each being among the most talented and beautiful women on the continent...
"Once again, you've played the lone hero," Cai Lin remarked, glancing at Mo Yu. Though her tone was indifferent, the faint curve of her lips betrayed her inner joy.
The Serpent Empire held a special place in her heart, and she considered it her home. Seeing it safe brought her great relief.
Mo Yu, familiar with her sharp tongue but soft heart, simply smiled. "Haha, rest assured. With me, the Serpent Empire will never fall."
