**
A streak of lightning shot across the sky, roaring toward the incoming Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit and the numerous Eighth-Grade beast spirits. Faintly, the sound of thunder echoed, carrying an aura of annihilation.
Boom!
In an instant, it was as if divine lightning had descended upon the world. The deafening roar split the land apart, sending violent shockwaves rippling outward in waves that spread for thousands of miles in mere moments.
The vast expanse of lightning poured down like molten thunder, cascading from the sky.
In that moment, the entire world was consumed by lightning. Even the dense, deathly clouds shrouding the land were pierced through, forcibly dispersed by the brilliant arcs of electricity.
A terrifying energy brewed and erupted.
The reflection of the lightning flickered in Mo Yu's pupils, and a slight, unsurprised smile tugged at his lips.
"As expected of something refined by my own hands—this power is truly capable of destroying the heavens and earth."
Below the level of Earthly Supreme, no one could possibly withstand such a devastating assault.
With that in mind, Mo Yu made a decisive move, retreating swiftly in the opposite direction of the explosion. If he stayed too close, he would undoubtedly be caught in the backlash.
Boom!
Just as Mo Yu withdrew, the black thunder orb in the distance finally detonated completely under his command.
Like an overwhelming tidal wave of destruction, thunderous light surged outward, shattering space as it swept through the land.
The ground cracked apart, massive fissures stretching for miles, engulfing the entire valley within their grasp.
Everything in the lightning's path was reduced to ashes.
The bodies of the Eighth-Grade beast spirits, dry and rigid, provided no defense against the catastrophic impact.
As the lightning flood engulfed them, their forms shattered instantly, disintegrating into dust in the storm of destruction.
Only the Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit managed to resist for a brief moment, as boundless death energy surged from its body, forming a barrier against the incoming thunderous tide.
However, that resistance lasted but an instant before the lightning storm crushed through it like a raging tsunami, obliterating the death energy entirely. The lightning swallowed the Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit whole.
For a time, the heavens and earth seemed to exist only within a realm of thunder and lightning.
The rolling currents of thunder devastated the vast valley, reducing it to ruins…
Far beyond the valley, Cai Lin and her group sensed the terrifying shockwave, their expressions heavy as they gazed at the sea of lightning in the distance.
"What terrifying power…" Han Yue muttered in shock. Even at such a great distance, the residual force was alarming. If they had been caught within its range, they would have undoubtedly perished.
Cai Lin bit her red lips lightly, concern flashing through her beautiful eyes. However, she quickly shook her head, her gaze turning cold and sharp. "Stay alert. Don't let anyone approach."
Mang Lie and the others nodded, remaining vigilant.
While they maintained their guard, atop a distant northern mountain, a man in blood-red robes suddenly turned his gaze toward the scene of destruction. His brows furrowed briefly—just moments ago, he had sensed an incredibly violent surge of spiritual energy.
This man was none other than Xue Ming of the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan.
"Big Brother Xue Ming, that power just now…?"
The young elites of the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan beside him looked on in fear, having also vaguely sensed the chaotic energy sweeping across the land.
"Such violent energy… It must be lightning. With this level of destructive force, even a Ninth-Grade Supreme would struggle to endure it."
Xue Ming's eyes narrowed slightly before a faint, knowing smile surfaced. "Hmph, I overestimated that guy. To think he had to resort to using the thunder orb just to deal with a Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit."
From his perspective, with Mo Yu's team composition, eliminating a Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit should not have been an easy task. If they wanted to avoid casualties, using the thunder orb was their only option.
A sneer played at the corners of his lips. Without the thunder orb, Mo Yu was nothing special. If they crossed paths again, he would make sure that foolish boy understood just how unwise it was to provoke him.
"For now, let's deal with this Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit first."
Xue Ming shook his head, no longer paying attention to Mo Yu. His gaze shifted forward, where the once-massive horde of beast spirits had been completely eradicated by the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan's warriors. Only a single Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit remained, struggling desperately to break free.
With a flick of his wrist, a blood-red spear materialized in his grasp. His figure vanished in a flash, reappearing above the beast spirit in the next instant. His spear thrust downward.
Whoosh!
The blood-colored spear, wrapped in a sinister crimson aura, transformed into a thousand-foot-long blood dragon that surged forward, instantly engulfing the Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit.
Like a dragon hunting its prey, the spear pierced straight through its body.
Xue Ming landed lightly atop the beast spirit's head, his expression indifferent. With a simple press of his foot, the creature's body exploded into pieces.
A deathly beast heart, brimming with sinister energy, slowly floated up from the remains.
Xue Ming casually caught it in his hand, turning it over as if admiring a trinket. Yet, his gaze remained locked on the distant battlefield, a smirk forming at his lips.
"I hope Mo Yu has the guts to enter the Inner Domain… Only then will he understand what a true divine beast prodigy is."
Back in the devastated valley, the towering cliffs and once-mighty peaks had been reduced to rubble. The ground was riddled with immense fissures, gaping like bottomless chasms.
This once-magnificent valley had been utterly annihilated.
Thud.
Amidst the wreckage, a massive boulder was suddenly sent flying. A lone figure shot into the sky before landing lightly on the ground.
It was, of course, Mo Yu.
His gaze swept across the desolate land—no sign of any beast spirits remained. They had all been obliterated.
"I wonder how the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus fared…"
With that thought, Mo Yu wasted no time, his figure flashing forward.
Whoosh!
He dashed over the ruined land, covering miles in mere minutes before arriving at the deathly marsh. However, the swamp had also been completely ravaged, transformed into a lifeless, stagnant lake filled with swirling death energy.
The moment he saw this scene, Mo Yu's speed suddenly increased, and in a flash, he appeared at the center of the swamp, his gaze anxiously sweeping over.
What he saw was a pool of crystal-clear water, still gently rippling amidst the muddy lake. The surrounding black water was forcefully cut off from it, creating a stark contrast between the two. At the bottom of the pool, a jade-green lotus swayed gracefully, its luminous emerald glow radiating an overwhelming vitality.
Seeing that this pool of water remained untouched by the explosion, Mo Yu let out a sigh of relief—thankfully, this treasure had not been damaged. Without hesitation, his figure flickered as he appeared above the pool. With a swift grasp of his palm, spiritual energy surged forth, locking onto the lotus at the bottom before he forcefully drew it upward.
A clump of crystal-clear water, wrapped in mud, shot out from the pool and hovered before Mo Yu. Within the mud, the radiant green lotus lay encased, exuding an exotic fragrance. The surging vitality contained within even sent a tingling sensation through Mo Yu's body.
With a flick of his finger, he dispersed the mud, revealing the pristine jade-like lotus in its full clarity. This Nine-Turn Azure Lotus was merely palm-sized, exquisitely delicate, as if intricately carved from emerald. The most astonishing part was the lotus seed at its heart, brimming with astonishing life force. Mysterious markings, naturally inscribed by the heavens, adorned its surface, exuding an unfathomable aura.
"So this is the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus…" Mo Yu murmured in admiration before swiftly stowing it away. Then, with a flicker of his figure, he reappeared atop a distant hill where Cai Lin and the others were waiting expectantly.
Seeing Mo Yu return unharmed, their faces lit up with relief.
"It's over?" Cai Lin asked with a smile. She could discern the joy in Mo Yu's eyes—knowing his temperament well, she was certain he had reaped a significant gain.
Mo Yu grinned and nodded. The acquisition of the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus filled him with undeniable delight.
Cai Lin did not press further; she understood that for Mo Yu to risk such an ordeal and even expend his Thunder Orb, the treasure he had obtained was surely extraordinary. Han Yue and Mang Lie, too, remained silent, evidently comprehending the situation.
"We should find a place to rest before heading into the inner region of the Divine Graveyard," Mo Yu suggested as he glanced at the group. The Nine-Turn Azure Lotus needed to be refined as soon as possible—it would undoubtedly enhance his strength and prepare him for formidable foes ahead.
Understanding his intent, the group nodded.
After half a day of travel, they found an area where the deathly aura was relatively weak. There, on a lone peak, they carved out a stone cave and retreated inside. Before entering, Mo Yu specifically called Cai Lin in with him, while Han Yue and the others dispersed around the mountain to stand guard.
Inside the cave, Mo Yu sat cross-legged with the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus floating before him, its light shimmering brilliantly. The overwhelming life force within quickly filled the entire space, causing even the withered weeds on the ground to slowly regain their vitality.
When Cai Lin saw the treasure Mo Yu had retrieved, she was momentarily stunned. Then, a trace of shock surfaced on her cool and elegant face. "This is… the legendary Nine-Turn Azure Lotus?"
Having spent years in the Great Thousand World, Cai Lin had learned about various heavenly treasures. After a brief contemplation, she recognized it and was immediately astonished.
She had not expected Mo Yu's actions in the valley to yield such an extraordinary treasure. In fact, even within her Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, an item of this caliber was unheard of—it was simply priceless beyond measure.
"Heh, just luck," Mo Yu chuckled. "I didn't expect to come across such a treasure in the Divine Beast Origin."
His gaze locked onto the white jade lotus seed nestled at the heart of the lotus—this was the essence of the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus. Only by fully absorbing and refining it could he gain its miraculous properties to aid in breaking through the Earthly Supreme bottleneck in the future.
"We should refine it together…" Mo Yu said, smiling at Cai Lin.
The two had been husband and wife since their time in the Dou Qi Continent, sharing countless trials over the years. Their bond was deep, inseparable through both hardships and joys. Given such a treasure, Mo Yu had no intention of keeping it for himself alone.
Cai Lin hesitated briefly before nodding. She understood this was Mo Yu's way of expressing his feelings. With his temperament, he would not allow her to refuse—and between them, there was no need for such formalities.
Mo Yu exhaled lightly, his fingers forming a guiding gesture. Immediately, the white jade lotus seed slowly rose from the lotus heart. With a controlled burst of spiritual energy, he activated the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus.
A hum echoed through the cave.
The once palm-sized Nine-Turn Azure Lotus rapidly expanded, growing into a half-meter-wide lotus seat in mere seconds.
Mo Yu slowly landed upon the lotus seat, and at the same time, Cai Lin's graceful figure joined him. Her snake-like, slender waist exuded an enchanting allure.
While the lotus seat itself could not be refined, it possessed the ability to calm the mind and stabilize spiritual energy—an invaluable aid in cultivation. Given the opportunity, neither Mo Yu nor Cai Lin would let it go to waste.
With everything prepared, Mo Yu did not hesitate further. Fixing his gaze on the hovering white jade lotus seed, he split it in half. With a deep inhale, one half shot into his mouth, while the other half was taken in by Cai Lin, her alluring crimson lips parting slightly.
The instant the lotus seed entered their bodies, a terrifying surge of vitality erupted. Mo Yu and Cai Lin's hair began growing wildly, cascading like water weeds and covering the entire cave in mere moments.
The sheer force of this unleashed vitality left them both secretly alarmed—after all, this was merely the residual energy leaking from the lotus seed. If its full power had erupted, they might have been overwhelmed on the spot.
Fortunately, this leaked energy was precisely what they needed. By absorbing and refining it, Mo Yu should be able to complete his breakthrough, elevating his spiritual energy to a higher level.
With their current strength, both of them were confident they could perfectly control this power.
Thus, their cultivation proceeded in silent harmony, the cave growing increasingly saturated with life force.
Outside the mountain, Han Yue and the others sat in meditation, vigilantly guarding the area. Their eyes occasionally flickered toward the cave, expressions tinged with astonishment.
Even from a distance, they could sense the surging vitality emanating from within. They silently rejoiced that Mo Yu had chosen a location with sparse death energy and few beast spirits—otherwise, the sheer presence of this life force would have attracted countless creatures.
Time flowed quietly.
A day later, the group suddenly opened their eyes as an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy erupted from within the cave.
From the rolling waves of energy, two figures, one imposing and the other graceful, emerged like celestial beings, side by side…
