Chapter 520: The Terrifying Power of the Great Desolate Thunder Orb
"Boom!"
In the sky, two figures wrapped in vast Dou Qi collided fiercely, sending a thunderous shockwave straight into the clouds. The powerful aftershock tore the surrounding space into sharp fragments.
Within a hundred meters of the two, no one dared to step forward. The terrifying impact of the Dou Qi was something that even an ordinary Dou Zun expert would struggle to withstand.
"Ninth Heavenly Lord, you're nothing special!"
After clashing hard with the Ninth Heavenly Lord, the immense force knocked him back several steps. Mo Yu smiled coldly, unfazed. After boosting his strength to the level of a six-star Dou Zun, he could now fight on even terms with the Ninth Heavenly Lord, an eight-star Dou Zun, even gaining a slight edge.
Seeing Mo Yu's taunting expression, the Ninth Heavenly Lord's face grew darker. In front of so many strong Soul Palace members, he, the mighty Ninth Heavenly Lord, was unable to defeat a junior. It was a humiliation too great to bear.
"Seventh Heavenly Lord, how long do you plan to just stand there and watch? Hurry up and deal with this brat! Or do you want the Eighth Heavenly Lord, who's attacking Starfall Pavilion, to laugh at us?"
Taking a deep breath, the Ninth Heavenly Lord turned his head and called out to the Seventh Heavenly Lord not far behind him.
"Heh, Ninth Heavenly Lord, I can't believe you can't even handle a mere youngster. You're really embarrassing the Soul Palace..." The Seventh Heavenly Lord sneered as he flew into the battlefield.
"Hmph, this kid's techniques are strange, and his strength is not to be underestimated. If we don't deal with him quickly, he'll eventually become a major threat to the Soul Palace!" the Ninth Heavenly Lord grumbled, suppressing his anger at the Seventh Heavenly Lord's mocking.
Hearing this, the Seventh Heavenly Lord narrowed his eyes slightly as he glanced at Mo Yu, nodding gravely. Though he had been watching from the sidelines, he could see that Mo Yu's strength was indeed extraordinary. Given his young age, this kid could one day become a huge problem for the Soul Palace.
Mo Yu, overhearing that the Eighth Heavenly Lord was attacking Starfall Pavilion, furrowed his brow. He hadn't expected the Soul Palace to launch such a large-scale operation, splitting their forces to simultaneously eliminate both Yuan Manor and Starfall Pavilion.
Far in the distance, in the sky outside Yuan City, several figures were watching from afar. They were powerful figures from Central Continent who had come to observe, as well as spies from various factions. The Soul Palace was one of the most powerful forces in Central Continent, and any of their movements drew countless eyes. Their current actions were no exception, attracting the attention of many.
"This is a disaster for Yuan Manor, provoking an attack from the Soul Palace," marveled an elder expert from the Western Region.
"Heh, if Yuan Manor is destroyed, then we in the Western Region will no longer have a ruler over us. Perhaps our Qingyun Sect can seize the opportunity to rise," one man said with a sinister smile.
"Tch, even if Yuan Manor falls, a third-rate sect like Qingyun won't take their place. Our Overlord Valley is the strongest faction after Yuan Manor."
"What did you say? Are you looking for a fight?"
"Ha! Do you think I'm afraid?"
...
In these parts, minor skirmishes broke out between old rivals. But their bickering drew little attention, as most eyes were glued to the ongoing battle at Yuan City.
...
"We can't drag this out any longer. I need to finish off these two old ghosts quickly," Mo Yu thought to himself, paying no attention to those hoping to see Yuan Manor fall. After some contemplation, he made up his mind.
Although he currently had the upper hand, the Soul Palace had sent a considerable force of elites. If the battle dragged on, Yuan Manor would undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties. What's more, the situation at Starfall Pavilion was still uncertain, and if Yao Lao didn't revive in time, it could also be in danger.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu's right hand gradually began to glow with a multicolored lightning aura. At the same time, he stepped lightly into the air, moving towards the Ninth and Seventh Heavenly Lords.
Seeing Mo Yu approach with terrifying lightning energy gathering in his hand, the Ninth Heavenly Lord's face became serious. He had suffered a heavy blow from this move during their last encounter. Now that Mo Yu was using it again, he couldn't afford to lower his guard.
"Hmph, last time you injured me with a sneak attack. Do you think you can use the same trick again?" the Ninth Heavenly Lord sneered coldly. He then turned to the Seventh Heavenly Lord.
"Let's join forces and end this quickly. We'll wipe out this brat and Yuan Manor in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Heavenly Lord nodded solemnly. He, too, sensed the immense threat from the lightning orb in Mo Yu's hand.
"No wonder the Ninth Heavenly Lord is so wary of you. Too bad, anyone who challenges the Soul Palace meets a grim fate!" the Seventh Heavenly Lord said coldly. Vast Dou Qi surged from his palm, transforming into a strange liquid substance. It twisted and writhed before solidifying into a massive, starry execution blade.
This blade gleamed with starlight, its surface covered in a crystalline layer. As the blade gently sliced through the air, a thin crack appeared in space.
"A nine-star Dou Zun..." Mo Yu murmured as he sensed the Seventh Heavenly Lord's overwhelming power. The Soul Palace's Heavenly Lords were indeed no ordinary foes.
The Seventh Heavenly Lord gripped his massive execution blade tightly, exchanging a glance with the Ninth Heavenly Lord. Then, with a cold gaze locked on Mo Yu, the blade swung through the air, sending countless afterimages in its wake.
"Star God's Execution Slash!"
With a deep roar from the Seventh Heavenly Lord, the sky suddenly dimmed, and countless stars appeared behind him. These stars condensed into tiny streams of light, all converging onto the giant blade.
As the streams of light gathered, the energy within the blade became more and more terrifying!
At the same time, the Ninth Heavenly Lord's face twisted into a sinister smile. His hands rapidly formed a series of seals, unleashing an overwhelming wave of Dou Qi. His palm glowed with a pale blue light, and as he opened his mouth, a torrent of blue Dou Qi spewed forth, condensing into a ferocious, clawed beast. This monstrous creature, brimming with energy, charged straight at Mo Yu.
"Violent Rain Glutton!"
"Die!"
With dark, chilling smiles, both the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords launched their attacks. A gigantic blade and a ferocious beast tore through the space before them, shattering the void as they sped toward Mo Yu with unstoppable force.
The sudden appearance of these two powerful attacks immediately drew the attention of all onlookers. Those who recognized the techniques were filled with shock.
"The Star God's Execution Slash and Violent Rain Glutton—the signature techniques of the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords. These are two of the most powerful figures in Central Continent," someone muttered in awe. "The fact that they're using their ultimate moves means they're not holding back."
"With both Soul Palace Heavenly Lords working together, even a Dou Zun would struggle to survive. That Mo Yu kid is done for."
Outside Yuan Manor, many of the onlookers watching shook their heads. The terrifying power of the Star God's Execution Slash and the Violent Rain Glutton was enough to tear through the heavens and the earth. Mo Yu was certainly doomed.
Seeing the deadly blade and monstrous beast heading straight for him, Mo Yu's gaze flickered slightly. He stopped moving, his steps halting mid-air. In his right hand, the black-gold thunder orb grew denser with an ancient, wild energy.
"Too late to run now!" the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords sneered, thinking that Mo Yu had been cowed by their overwhelming attacks.
However, Mo Yu paid no mind to their sneers. His gaze remained fixed on the thunder orb in his hand. As the last piece of mysterious lightning fused into it, a deep, purple-gold light began to flicker from the orb, its black glow swiftly fading.
The purple glow grew brighter, consuming the black energy as though it were absorbing its power.
At the same time, an ancient and terrifying aura began to radiate from the purple-gold orb. Though others couldn't sense it, Mo Yu, as the one controlling it, knew that the power of the purple-gold thunder orb had increased several times over!
"Being killed by us should be an honor for you!" the Seventh Heavenly Lord taunted as the blade and beast closed in, leaving Mo Yu no room to escape.
Just as the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords began to smile with victory, Mo Yu's lips curled into a faint smile of his own. He slammed his right hand down into the space before him, his voice ringing coldly through the air.
"Great Desolate Thunder Orb!"
"Boom!"
The moment the purple-gold thunder orb was unleashed, the surrounding space collapsed instantly. A bone-chilling storm of purple-gold lightning erupted from the orb's core, crashing into the terrifying blade and monstrous beast.
"Boom!"
For a brief moment, there was silence. It was as though even the wind had vanished. But that stillness lasted only a heartbeat before an earth-shaking explosion tore through the heavens.
A massive storm of lightning, stretching a thousand meters wide, swept out from the center of the explosion. The entire space cracked apart into dark, empty voids. On the ground, a violent gust of wind howled, kicking up sand and stone.
Everyone could clearly see the ground within the thousand-meter radius being stripped away before their eyes. Deep cracks, like the aftermath of an earthquake, spread rapidly from the explosion site.
If not for Mo Yu's deliberate effort to keep the battle away from Yuan City, the entire city would have been destroyed in the process.
Seeing the terrifying storm of destruction sweeping across the sky, the faces of the Soul Palace members turned pale. They couldn't believe that Mo Yu, even with his current strength, could unleash such a devastating attack. The power of that lightning orb exceeded even some of the most advanced Dou Techniques.
"Crack!"
The starry blade and the monstrous beast were both shattered in the blink of an eye, reduced to nothing but dust.
"Ugh!"
With their techniques destroyed, both the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords coughed up blood, their faces turning ghostly white. They had clearly suffered serious injuries from the impact.
"How did that kid's thunder orb become so much stronger?" The Ninth Heavenly Lord felt a shiver of fear. The last time Mo Yu used this move, he had been injured by a surprise attack. But now, even when working together with the Seventh Heavenly Lord, they couldn't overcome it.
"Boom!"
As the Ninth Heavenly Lord brooded over the situation, the terrifying storm of lightning continued to sweep across the sky.
Seeing the lightning storm still surging toward them, both the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords felt an overwhelming sense of danger. They quickly moved their hands, summoning vast amounts of cold energy from the heavens and forming a massive, hundred-meter-tall blue water shield around them.
The Seventh Heavenly Lord also poured all his Dou Qi into reinforcing the shield. Within moments, the shield expanded to three hundred meters, as solid as steel.
From his position high in the sky, Mo Yu looked down at the massive water shield, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Though this was his first time battling two peak Dou Zun experts at once, the thunder orb he now wielded had been infused with the fourth-ranked Desolate Thunder of the Ancients, making it far more powerful than before.
He had even given this new orb a name: the Great Desolate Thunder Orb. And today, it would prove its power in battle for the first time!
As everyone watched intently, the terrifying storm of destruction finally slammed into the massive blue water shield.
The boundless power of the lightning orb twisted the surrounding space, distorting reality itself. The sight caused many onlookers to pale in fear.
"Boom!"
The lightning storm surged again. The seemingly indestructible blue water shield shattered in an instant, exploding into pieces.
Immediately, a torrential downpour fell from the sky, pounding the earth with a crisp, rhythmic sound.
"Ugh!"
As the shield collapsed, both the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords were caught in the aftershock. Their bodies trembled, and they let out muffled groans. Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, and their Dou Qi became chaotic.
Clearly, the lightning storm hadn't just destroyed their shield—it had dealt significant damage to their bodies as well.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the Seventh Heavenly Lord glared at Mo Yu in the distance, his eyes filled with shock and frustration.
He, a dignified Seventh Heavenly Lord, had been defeated by a junior. And not just defeated—utterly humiliated!
