As the Blood God Clan's patriarch, Xue Lingzi, made his appearance, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar. No one had expected that what was initially just a duel between the Yuchang Clan and the Gongshu Clan would escalate to such an extent.

Not only had it drawn in two Lesser Earthly Supremes, but now even Xue Lingzi—a Greater Earthly Supreme renowned across the Western Heaven Continent—had been drawn into the conflict.

This turn of events had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Patriarch, you've arrived."

As soon as Xue Lingzi appeared, Xue Yi and Xue Yun quickly rushed to his side, greeting him respectfully.

Glancing at the battered and disheveled Xue Yi, Xue Lingzi frowned slightly and asked, "What happened? How did you end up in such a miserable state?"

Hearing this, Xue Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, cast a pale glance at Mo Yu, and then spoke in a voice filled with resentment, "Patriarch, this man is called Mo Yu, also known as the Thunder Emperor. He hails from a lower plane called the Dou Qi Continent and is a Lesser Earthly Supreme.

Though he comes from a lower plane, his Supreme Dharma Body is extremely mysterious. From my observation, Mo Yu's Supreme Dharma Body is comparable to the top thirty-ranked Ninety-Nine Supreme Dharma Bodies Ranking. His strength is overwhelmingly powerful—I was no match for him, and therefore..."

"And therefore, you lost." Xue Lingzi snorted coldly before turning his gaze toward Mo Yu, his eyes narrowing slightly. "A powerhouse from a lower plane, wielding a mysterious and powerful Supreme Dharma Body..."

With that thought in mind, Xue Lingzi waved his hand and said in a frosty tone, "Leave him to me. A mere Lesser Earthly Supreme isn't capable of stirring up any real trouble."

As his words fell, the numerous figures secretly observing this battle in the void all focused their gazes on Xue Lingzi. He stood atop the surging blood waves, locking eyes with Mo Yu from afar as he spoke indifferently.

"You have no grievances with my Blood God Clan, so why did you show such ruthlessness toward Xue Yi? Do you truly intend to make an enemy of us?"

A hint of curiosity flickered in Xue Lingzi's eyes as he studied Mo Yu.

Although Xue Yi was not the strongest among Lesser Earthly Supremes, he was far from weak. Yet, under Mo Yu's hands, he had nearly lost his life. This young man's combat strength was truly astonishing.

Moreover, considering Mo Yu's youth and his origins from a lower plane, such talent was nothing short of monstrous. If this enmity could not be resolved, then Xue Lingzi would have to ensure that this threat was eliminated at all costs.

However, faced with Xue Lingzi's questioning tone, Mo Yu merely smiled faintly and replied, "In a battle, injuries and casualties are normal, aren't they? Just because he's from the Blood God Clan, should I have held back? If that were the case, wouldn't that imply the entire Blood God Clan is nothing but a bunch of weaklings?"

Hearing Mo Yu's blatant provocation, Xue Lingzi's expression instantly darkened. He let out a cold chuckle and said, "Even in this situation, you still dare to speak such arrogant words? You're merely a Lesser Earthly Supreme—do you really think you can defy the heavens?"

"Heh, I've been wanting to test the strength of a Greater Earthly Supreme." Mo Yu clasped his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

Though his clash with Xue Yi had ignited his battle spirit, the fight had ended too quickly to truly satisfy him.

Now, only a Greater Earthly Supreme could provide him with a worthy battle.

On the golden platform, many spectators were left utterly stunned by Mo Yu's fearless stance, even in the face of Xue Lingzi. Not only was he unafraid, but he was actively provoking him, leaving countless onlookers gaping in shock.

After all, the Four Great God Clans were the true rulers of the Western Heaven Continent, and Xue Lingzi was one of the men who sat on that throne. His words alone could determine the life and death of billions.

And now, such a supreme figure was about to be enraged.

"Young one, I will teach you a lesson today, so you may understand that there is always someone stronger! This is the Great Thousand World—it is not your lower plane!" Xue Lingzi's figure slowly rose into the sky, eventually coming to stand before Mo Yu as he sneered coldly.

Mo Yu's eyelids drooped slightly, and he responded indifferently, "Then let's give it a try."

"Foolish!"

"Blood God Sky-Treading Step!"

Xue Lingzi's gaze turned frigid as he suddenly stomped down. Instantly, an overwhelming surge of blood-red light erupted beneath his feet, transforming into a massive crimson foot that descended from the sky, carrying a devastating aura of destruction and intense corrosion as it stomped down upon Mo Yu's Heavenly Dharma Body.

Boom!

The blood-red foot crashed down like a meteor. Mo Yu's mind stirred, and his Heavenly Dharma Body raised its right arm. A ferocious burst of lightning surged forth, forming a dome of lightning in the sky.

Bang!

The blood-red foot smashed into the lightning barrier, and a terrifying shockwave rippled outward, causing the surrounding space to fracture continuously.

Rumble!

Though the lightning barrier managed to intercept the attack, some of its destructive force still penetrated through.

The mountain beneath the Heavenly Dharma Body trembled violently before collapsing entirely—huge boulders tumbled down, and within just a few breaths, a towering peak spanning tens of thousands of feet was completely obliterated.

Mo Yu looked up at the gradually dissipating blood-red foot, his eyebrows raising slightly. As expected of a Greater Earthly Supreme, Xue Lingzi's strength was truly formidable.

Even without utilizing his Supreme Dharma Body, he could still unleash such terrifying power. No wonder there was such an immense gap between each stage of the Earthly Supreme Realm.

Xue Lingzi hovered in the sky, looking down at Mo Yu with a mocking smirk. "Boy, do you now understand the difference between yourself and a true Greater Earthly Supreme? With such meager strength, you are far from being able to contend with me."

"Heh, I was merely testing the waters just now. The real battle begins now." Mo Yu chuckled at Xue Lingzi's taunt.

"Brat, such arrogant words!"

Hearing this, Xue Lingzi let out a cold laugh. Once again, he stomped his foot, and the blood-red light surged forth once more, rapidly condensing into another enormous crimson foot.

The foot descended from the sky once more, bringing with it a suffocating aura of destruction and corrosion, as it crashed down toward Mo Yu's Heavenly Dharma Body.

"Heavenly Thunder Body—Thunder Silver Shield!"

Seeing the descending blood-red foot, Mo Yu let out a low shout. At that moment, his Heavenly Dharma Body suddenly extended a hand, and the sky above was instantly shrouded in rolling thunderclouds.

With a thunderous roar, a massive stream of lightning surged downward, spiraling into Mo Yu's palm.

Lightning flickered wildly as the stream of lightning rapidly compressed. After just a few breaths, it condensed into an enormous silver thunder shield, appearing in the left hand of the Heavenly Dharma Body.

Boom!

The blood-red foot crashed against the Thunder Silver Shield, triggering an explosive shockwave that echoed like thunder. The sheer impact forced the spectators below to hurriedly unleash their spiritual energy to shield themselves.

This battle was clearly far more terrifying than the previous clash!

After the collision, just as Xue Lingzi thought that the Heavenly Dharma Body would continue to retreat, an incomparably massive lightning shield suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Before he could even register his surprise, the shield shifted backward, revealing a cross-shaped thunderbolt ballista—its cold, murderous aura locking onto him.

At the same time, a deep sense of danger surged within Xue Lingzi's heart. He felt an intense threat tightly locking onto him, and the source of that feeling was none other than the arrow loaded in the ballista!

That arrow radiated a terrifying thunderous power—so overwhelming that even as a Greater Earthly Supreme, Xue Lingzi felt a tinge of fear.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the thunder arrow ripped through space, its thunderous force surging violently as it accelerated, blasting forward at an alarming speed. A sharp sonic boom echoed through the air as it shot straight toward Xue Lingzi.

"Damn it! Blood Spirit Armor!"

Seeing the incoming arrow, Xue Lingzi's body erupted with a torrential wave of blood energy, surging like an ocean. In an instant, it rapidly condensed around him, forming a blood-red set of armor.

The blood armor covered Xue Lingzi's entire body, with crimson vein-like patterns spreading across its surface. Every curve of the design radiated a sense of terrifying brutality. The moment this blood armor appeared, an indescribable and horrifying aura slowly emanated from it.

With the 'Blood Spirit Armor' activated, blood energy flowed across its surface, making Xue Lingzi look like a god of slaughter standing atop the heavens, exuding an overwhelming presence.

However, just as Xue Lingzi finished summoning the armor, the space in front of him was suddenly torn apart. A streak of lightning shot out at blinding speed. Before he could even react, it slammed directly into his body.

Boom!

Xue Lingzi's body trembled violently as he staggered backward, a muffled grunt escaping his lips. The boundless blood energy around him surged and roiled.

Crack!

As the blood energy churned, Xue Lingzi's figure wavered slightly. He looked down in shock at his chest—where a blood-red hole had been punched through his armor. Fresh red blood gushed out, and tiny cracks spread outward from the wound.

His Blood Spirit Armor had been penetrated?!

"How is this possible…"

Xue Lingzi's hand touched the crimson blood flowing from his wound, his voice a stunned whisper. Then his pupils suddenly contracted as he muttered again, "How is this possible?!"

Although the Blood Spirit Armor wasn't his strongest defense, it was still inconceivable that a mere Lesser Earthly Supreme could break through it.

With that thought, Xue Lingzi's gaze snapped toward the distant Heavenly Dharma Body. He saw the massive figure gripping a shield in its left hand and a ballista in its right, resembling a giant, thunder-forged warrior—cold, ruthless, and oppressive.

"This Supreme Dharma Body… it's definitely not ordinary!" Xue Lingzi's expression darkened as he recalled the sheer power of that thunderbolt arrow.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a sharp creaking sound echoed through the heavens. The Heavenly Dharma Body's cross-shaped thunderbolt ballista locked onto Xue Lingzi once again. The string drew back, an arrow nocked, and with a sharp whistle, another thunderbolt arrow shot out.

Seeing this, Xue Lingzi's gaze turned cold. Faced with the relentless assault of the thunderbolt arrows, he no longer dared to be careless. His hands swiftly formed seals as he let out a thunderous roar:

"Blood Shadow Dharma Body!"

In an instant, a massive river of blood burst forth from Xue Lingzi's body. The next moment, it coalesced behind him into a colossal, tens-of-thousands-of-feet-tall blood shadow.

The blood shadow was eerie and enigmatic, flickering between corporeal and ethereal states, exuding an aura of profound strangeness.

This was the Blood God Clan's ultimate clan-defining Dharma Body—ranked thirty-eighth on the Supreme Dharma Body Rankings.

Facing Mo Yu's Supreme Dharma Body, Xue Lingzi no longer dared to hold back. He immediately summoned his Supreme Dharma Body, afraid that if he let his guard down even slightly, he might suffer a devastating loss.

Boom!

As soon as the Blood Shadow Dharma Body fully condensed, it stretched out its massive, crimson hand. Blood rivers gathered within its palm before it suddenly slapped downward, striking the incoming thunderbolt arrow.

Bang!

The space trembled violently. Although the thunderbolt arrow was powerful enough to heavily injure a Lesser Earthly Supreme, it was still lacking when confronting a Greater Earthly Supreme head-on.

"Fall!"

Shattering the thunderbolt arrow with a single palm, Xue Lingzi immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack. He launched a devastating strike toward Mo Yu's Heavenly Dharma Body. If he could destroy the Dharma Body, then Mo Yu would be utterly defeated.

The blood-red hand, brimming with the power of blood rivers, rapidly condensed into a giant fist. It tore through the void and crashed down toward the Heavenly Dharma Body.

Swish!

Just as the crimson fist was about to strike, the Heavenly Dharma Body raised its left arm. The Thunder Silver Shield swung up, forming a formidable barrier in front of it. The shield erupted with boundless lightning, intercepting the descending punch.

Rumble!

Visible shockwaves exploded outward. The surrounding mountain peaks shattered into dust, and countless fragments of rock were swept away in all directions.

In midair, the Thunder Silver Shield trembled slightly but managed to forcibly withstand Xue Lingzi's overpowering attack. At the same time, the thunderbolt ballista on the Dharma Body's right arm fired another arrow, directly shattering half of the blood hand.

In both combat experience and the strength of their Dharma Bodies, Mo Yu could barely hold his ground against a Greater Earthly Supreme. If Xue Lingzi wanted to defeat Mo Yu, it would not be an easy task.

On the other side, Xue Lingzi's expression grew darker. Mo Yu's combat prowess was far beyond his expectations.

Roar!

But Mo Yu didn't give him any chance to take the initiative. In an instant, three thunderbolt arrows fired simultaneously, unleashing a relentless assault against the Blood Shadow Dharma Body.

Boom! Boom!

In the skies, violent clashes of thunder and blood-red energy erupted repeatedly. Each exchange shattered the space itself, and below, massive chasms—tens of thousands of feet long—were torn open in the earth.

The intensity of the battle was indescribable.

Hidden in the shadows, numerous elite powerhouses—including Earthly Supremes from other continents—were drawn to the battle. Their expressions were solemn as they watched the fierce confrontation in the skies.

They all recognized Xue Lingzi—his reputation in the Western Heaven Continent was well known. However, Mo Yu was relatively obscure, having only emerged from the lower plane's Dou Qi Continent a few months ago.

When they learned that Mo Yu was an Earthly Supreme from a lower plane, their shock was immeasurable. After all, it had been an extremely long time since the Great Thousand World had seen such a fearsome newcomer rise from the lower planes.

Moreover, the battle was proving to be an incredibly drawn-out and intense struggle.

In light of this, the hidden powerhouses and the countless spectators in the golden platform plaza were all deeply astonished.

No one had expected that Mo Yu, a mere Lesser Earthly Supreme, would possess the means to truly hold his own against a formidable Greater Earthly Supreme!

After this battle…

The name 'Thunder Emperor' would surely echo throughout the Great Thousand World!
