Chapter 425: Powerful Enhancement, The Green-Slaying Sword!
Thunderous wings and a lightning armor erupted from Mo Yu's body, shocking everyone around him.
As the wings and armor appeared, a powerful and overwhelming aura surged from within him, as if it had suddenly awakened. The space around him began to tremble under this tremendous force.
Mo Yu stood in mid-air, his face flushed red. Even his mysterious silver eyes, usually calm, were now clouded with wild energy. His fist clenched slowly, feeling the surging energy inside him. A faint smile crept across his lips, followed by a rush of boldness in his heart.
"What a dominant Thunder Body!"
As his body gradually adapted to this immense power, Mo Yu couldn't help but reminisce about the Thunder Body he had in his previous life. It was just as powerful and overwhelming.
By his own estimation, his strength now had reached the peak of the six-star Dou Zong (Battle Sect) level. This meant that the combination of the Devouring True Thunder and the Thunder Body had boosted his strength by a whole four stars!
Although the peak of the six-star Dou Zong was still one step away from the high-level Dou Zong, Mo Yu's foundation was strong enough to bridge that gap.
His transformation naturally caught the attention of the two Sword Masters who had been locked in a standoff but hadn't yet taken action. Sword Master Iron Sword looked at him with a hint of surprise, nodding slightly. Even he couldn't fully understand Mo Yu's hidden cards. With his vast experience, he knew Mo Yu was no ordinary genius. Despite his young age, anyone who tried to kill him would find it far from easy.
The other Sword Master, Green Sword, frowned after glancing at Mo Yu. These continuous twists and turns made him feel unsure about how to deal with Mo Yu. First came Sword Master Iron Sword, then a mysterious squad. In just a short time, the forces Mo Yu gathered seemed to rival that of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
However, Green Sword was a deeply cunning figure. He knew that the more chaotic the situation, the more calm and composed he needed to be.
Even though the battle around him raged fiercely, Mo Yu was clearly at the center of it all. Once they captured him, they'd have a crucial advantage. No matter how strong Mo Yu's background was, the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion would have a powerful bargaining chip if they held him.
With that thought in mind, Sword Master Green Sword shouted toward Elder Black Sword and Elder Green Sword in the battlefield.
"Green Sword, Black Sword, capture that brat!"
Upon hearing this, both Green Sword and Black Sword exchanged glances, and a killing intent flickered on their somber faces.
"Such a powerful enhancement technique, but your strength is still too weak. Even with this sudden boost, thinking you can defeat me and Black Sword is pure fantasy!" Green Sword sneered.
Although Mo Yu had ascended to the peak of the six-star Dou Zong, it was still too arrogant to face both him and Black Sword together.
"Dealing with the two of you is enough," Mo Yu smiled slightly. With a wave of his right hand, a flash of white light emerged from his beast ring, and the towering figure of a warrior emanating an intense cold aura appeared.
"A powerhouse of the Golden Warhorse Tribe!"
Seeing the figure of Qingzhi appear, Black Sword's face stiffened, and a dark look flashed deep in his eyes.
Back in Western Wasteland City, he had fought Qingzhi before and knew the latter's strength. After the journey to the Golden Warhorse Tribe, he had further suspected Qingzhi was one of its powerful warriors, especially since his golden beast eyes were too distinctive, and the tribe's elder chief treated Mo Yu with great favor.
"Qingzhi, Black Sword is yours," Mo Yu said.
Qingzhi nodded, and a hint of red flashed in his golden beast eyes. A violent surge of cold energy burst from his body as he charged toward Black Sword like a cannonball.
"Damn it!" Black Sword's face darkened upon seeing Qingzhi rush toward him.
Qingzhi's formidable body and terrifying ice power were hard for even him to withstand!
"Now it's just you and me. Let's fight to the death," Mo Yu said, his gaze shifting to Green Sword.
"Arrogant brat!" Green Sword sneered, but just as he finished speaking, Mo Yu's figure vanished in a flash.
"Space power again? This kid is just a Dou Zong, so why is he so adept at controlling space?" Green Sword's expression changed.
As Mo Yu's body disappeared, a chilling feeling surged in Green Sword's heart. His sharp instincts honed over the years urged him to retreat in a flash.
The moment Green Sword stepped back, the space in front of him distorted, and a ghostly figure emerged. In the figure's hand was a spear cloaked in poisonous green lightning, surrounded by a terrifying toxic aura as it struck down at Green Sword.
The spear barely missed Green Sword's face, but the poisonous aura instantly made his face pale.
Green Sword quickly retreated, but a black dragon spirit suddenly emerged from the spear. The spirit roared fiercely and charged at Green Sword.
As an eight-star weapon, the Black Thunder Spear was known as a "spirit weapon" because it could summon its weapon spirit during battle for a powerful strike.
Seeing the black dragon spirit rush at him, Green Sword's heart pounded. Though experienced in battle, he quickly brandished his Green Jade White Tiger Sword, thrusting it toward the black dragon.
"Boom!"
The clash sent Green Sword retreating, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He could only thank his quick reflexes for saving him from being skewered by Mo Yu's spear.
"This kid's space power is too strange, and that eight-star weapon… Damn, it's much trickier than I thought."
In the audience, people were gasping in shock, watching as Mo Yu gained the upper hand against Elder Green Sword, a long-established powerhouse of the peak Dou Zong level in the Western Region.
Even Lady Caiya and the high-ranking members of the Artifact Alliance exchanged looks of surprise at Mo Yu's strength. They had assumed that blacksmiths were rarely good fighters.
Looking at Mo Yu's potential and background, they couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. It seemed they might have missed their best chance...
On the other side, Qiu Yuanqiao narrowed his eyes as he watched Mo Yu's performance, a glint of resentment flashing through his gaze.
"Damn it, who is this kid? I'll have to get the Pill Tower to investigate him when I return," Qiu thought darkly.
He had a bad feeling about Mo Yu, sensing that the boy posed a serious threat to both the Pill Tower and the world of alchemists. Mo Yu could spark significant upheaval across the Dou Qi continent.
As the most respected profession on the continent, Qiu Yuanqiao would not tolerate anyone disrupting this order.
On the battlefield, Mang Dian, who was fighting against the forces of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, was also surprised by Mo Yu's sudden power increase.
"This power… It's not from a family bloodline, is it?" Mang Dian mused. Even the highest bloodlines in his tribe couldn't produce such a dramatic boost in strength. Perhaps this boy truly carried the legendary bloodline?
With that thought, Mang Dian's breath quickened, and a sense of awe and respect filled his gaze as he looked at Mo Yu.
If Mo Yu really did have that divine bloodline, he could rise to even greater heights—even become the leader of the Black Demon Army!
Not just Mang Dian, but even the other team members fighting alongside him began to look at Mo Yu with newfound respect and awe, abandoning their previous disdain. With his current power, Mo Yu was a rare talent even among their tribe.
In a matter of moments, Mo Yu had begun to win them over.
Back on the battlefield, Green Sword wiped the cold sweat from his brow, feeling both humiliated and enraged. He roared, "I refuse to believe that a mere brat can defeat me today!"
With a furious roar, Green Sword's hand seals changed rapidly. A chorus of sword cries filled the air, and from the Green Jade White Tiger Sword, waves of green sword energy surged out, filling the sky.
From a distance, it looked like a giant tiger's mouth ready to devour its prey, with Green Sword at the center, resembling a sword demon!
The Green Jade White Tiger Sword, one of the four peak seven-star swords of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, was a famous weapon in the Western Region. Paired with Green Sword's peak Dou Zong strength, it made most of the onlookers pale with fear.
"White Tiger Ten-Thousand Kill Sword!"
The green sword energy twisted together like a massive tiger made of swords. Its menacing aura struck fear into all who saw it.
"Go!" Green Sword shouted, and the massive tiger, its eyes flashing with a tangible green light, swung its tail, sending sharp sword energy slicing through the air toward Mo Yu!
Hovering in mid-air, Mo Yu's eyes were cold as he watched the enormous tiger rush toward him, roaring through the sky. Taking a deep breath, he tightly gripped his spear and, instead of retreating, charged forward with a fierce momentum, like a meteor crashing into the tiger!
"Nine Heavens Thunder Cloud Splitter!"
As his body moved, the long spear slashed down. A massive spear light, several dozen meters long, shot out from the tip, slicing into the tiger with a burst of metallic clanging and sparks flying everywhere. But the attack only made the tiger shudder slightly.
"Perfect Thunder Body!"
Mo Yu's face darkened, space power surging around him as he flashed to the tiger's head. Another terrifying wave of energy erupted from him as he struck the tiger's head again!
This time, the tiger's body began to crack, emitting a sharp screech as the green sword energy splintered apart.
Mo Yu's body continued to move like lightning, raining down blows upon the tiger's body.
The tiger, now under Green Sword's control, fought back fiercely, opening its massive jaws to unleash a storm of sword energy. The sword energy howled through the air, sharp enough to make the very souls of onlookers ache.
"Boom!"
Green sword energy surged toward Mo Yu, but he didn't pause for a moment. Green thunder erupted from his body, forming a sea of lightning in front of him.
When the sharp sword energy collided with the thunderous sea, it sizzled and evaporated into white smoke.
Effortlessly fending off the tiger's attacks, Mo Yu's space power reappeared, and in a flash, he was standing right in front of the tiger.
His hands moved swiftly, stowing away his Black Thunder Spear into his beast ring. Lightning-fast hand seals formed in his hands, gathering a bright surge of thunder.
"Thunder Emperor Technique: Heaven-Splitting Strike!"
With a sharp gaze, Mo Yu's left palm slammed down, filled with boundless power, striking the tiger's forehead with a deafening blow!
The sword energy in the tiger's forehead shattered once again, releasing torrents of green sword light. As his left palm fell, Mo Yu's right palm struck again!
"Thunder Emperor Technique: Sky-Piercing Strike!!"
Left hand splitting the heavens, right hand piercing the sky!
Fueled by the terrifying power of his Thunder Body, Mo Yu unleashed both deadly Thunder Emperor techniques at once.
Even the warriors of the Thunder Clan, who had grown up around lightning, were shocked by the power on display.
The Sky-Piercing Strike, crackling with boundless power, slammed down on the tiger's head with a resounding explosion.
"Boom!"
The massive tiger's body shuddered violently, and moments later, it began to crumble. Green sword energy splintered into countless fragments, letting out mournful cries as it exploded into nothingness.
The green sword energy tiger, which Elder Green Sword had spent all his strength to create, was completely destroyed by Mo Yu's relentless attacks!
Even Green Sword himself was in disbelief as he stared at Mo Yu, who stood proudly in mid-air. Before he could recover, his pupils suddenly shrank.
In front of him, the space began to twist and warp, and a ghostly figure emerged from the shadows.
The young face held a cold, mocking smile, and in his palm, a terrifying sphere of thunder spun silently.
"Heh, Elder Green Sword, you've been chasing me for so long. Let me give you a parting gift. Enjoy!"
Mo Yu's cold smile spread wider, and the thunder sphere in his hand shot out like lightning.
Green Sword's face was filled with horror as he prepared to dodge, but he suddenly realized that the space around him had been sealed!
In the next instant, with terror in his eyes, the black-gold thunder orb slammed into his body!
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion echoed across the battlefield!
