Blood surged through the skies of the continent, and an eerie silence blanketed the entire city, as if an invisible fear had taken hold.
All eyes were fixed on the captured Xue Lingzi, their gazes lost in disbelief. Even though they had witnessed it firsthand, they still found it difficult to accept—a Greater Earthly Supreme had been captured right before them.
A Greater Earthly Supreme!
A true powerhouse of the Great Thousand World! Even in the most ancient and formidable super forces, a Lesser Earthly Supreme was considered the backbone of their elite strength, let alone a Greater Earthly Supreme!
And Xue Lingzi wasn't just any Supreme—he was the patriach of the Blood God Clan, the undisputed ruler of the Western Heaven Continent.
Who could have imagined that the once-dominant Xue Lingzi, who held countless lives in his grasp just hours ago, would now be reduced to a prisoner, his fate controlled by another?
Gulp.
Countless experts swallowed nervously. Even those Earthly Supremes who had been secretly observing the battle between Xue Lingzi and Mo Yu now felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
Defeating a Greater Earthly Supreme as a Lesser Earthly Supreme was an almost insurmountable feat, yet this scene had unfolded before their very eyes. There was no room for doubt.
Xue Yi and Xue Yun's faces turned grim. They could hardly believe it—how could their patriach, a Greater Earthly Supreme, be defeated by a mere Lesser Earthly Supreme? And not just any Lesser Earthly Supreme, but a young man who had broken free from the shackles of the lower planes.
As Xue Yi's expression darkened, blood surged behind him, and in the blink of an eye, four figures stepped forward. When their faces were revealed, a collective gasp echoed through the heavens and earth.
Because the terrifying aura surrounding them made it clear—they were all Lesser Earthly Supremes!
"Those are the four elders of the Blood God Clan! Together with Xue Yi... all five elders are here!"
A commotion erupted among the onlookers, and voices filled with fear spread through the crowd.
The Five Great Elders of the Blood God Clan, each possessing the strength of a Lesser Earthly Supreme, were well-known throughout the Western Heaven Continent. Now, with all five of them present—along with Xue Lingzi, the Greater Earthly Supreme—the highest-ranking members of the Blood God Clan had gathered in full force!
The realization sent shivers down everyone's spines. Their gazes shifted toward the lone figure standing like a thunder god in the center of it all. To single-handedly draw out the entire upper echelon of the Blood God Clan—this would undoubtedly make his name even more legendary!
"Xue Yi, what happened?! How did the patriach end up like this?!"
One of the elders demanded as he stared at the captured Xue Lingzi, his expression changing drastically before turning toward Xue Yi in disbelief.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he would have thought he had fallen into an illusion.
The other three elders wore grim expressions. Xue Lingzi was not just their leader; he was also the most ambitious and capable patriach in the history of the Blood God Clan.
He had vowed to elevate their clan to the pinnacle of the Four Great God Clans.
And yet, this ruler who sought dominance now lay within another's grasp, his life no longer his own!
The scene was utterly surreal.
"Enough questions! That brat is tough—we attack together and rescue the patriach first!" Xue Yi snapped impatiently before leaping toward Mo Yu.
The four other Earthly Supremes followed immediately, surrounding Mo Yu in a five-point star formation in mere moments.
Boom!
The five Lesser Earthly Supremes stomped the ground, and in an instant, five colossal Supreme Avatars, tens of thousands of feet tall, emerged and encircled Mo Yu's Tian Gang Avatar.
Despite their overwhelming numbers, none of the elders dared to act recklessly.
After all, Xue Lingzi was still in Mo Yu's grasp.
"Mo Yu! Release our patriach at once! No matter how strong you are, facing the five of us together means certain death!" Xue Yi shouted coldly.
Even if Mo Yu had monstrous combat strength, after an intense battle, he couldn't possibly stand against five Earthly Supremes alone. Not even a god could escape this predicament!
Standing at the center of the encirclement, Mo Yu's expression turned solemn. The Blood God Clan truly lived up to its reputation as one of the Four Great Overlords of the Western Heaven Continent. The sheer number of formidable experts they possessed was staggering.
"Hmph. You want to kill me? Aren't you afraid your patriach will perish along with me?"
Mo Yu sneered and tightened his grip.
Instantly, Xue Lingzi's expression contorted in agony as he felt an overwhelming force compressing his body, as if he were being crushed by the depths of the ocean.
Cracks spread across his flesh as blood burst from his body. Even his bones shifted and fractured under the immense pressure, causing the mighty warlord to let out an involuntary scream of pain.
"Mo Yu! Release me at once! You're surrounded! Stop struggling, or you'll only dig your own grave!" Xue Lingzi growled through gritted teeth, enduring the excruciating torment.
While Mo Yu had him restrained, killing an Earthly Supreme wasn't so simple.
Everyone knew the terrifying resilience of an Earthly Supreme. The moment one reached this realm, their very existence underwent a fundamental transformation.
Upon breaking through, an Earthly Supreme's Supreme Sea would shatter—not as a loss, but as an evolution.
Instead of a separate energy reservoir, the Supreme Sea would fuse into their flesh and blood, making their bodies far more resilient.
Even if an Earthly Supreme's body was torn apart, as long as they retained a sliver of life, they could regenerate completely—like an immortal being.
To truly kill an Earthly Supreme, one had to utterly annihilate every trace of life within their flesh.
And accomplishing that was no easy task.
A Lesser Earthly Supreme killing another Lesser Earthly Supreme was already extremely difficult.
For a Lesser Earthly Supreme to kill a Greater Earthly Supreme? That was almost impossible—unless they possessed some kind of overwhelming advantage or special means.
Thus, while Mo Yu had captured Xue Lingzi, actually killing him was another matter entirely.
Moreover, if he truly executed Xue Lingzi, he would be declaring eternal war against the Blood God Clan. That wasn't part of his plan.
"Hmph. Who says I can't kill you?" Mo Yu sneered. "Even if I can't completely erase you, destroying your body would still be a devastating loss, wouldn't it?"
Although now wasn't the best time to kill Xue Lingzi, Mo Yu wasn't about to show weakness, so he sneered coldly.
Hearing this, Xue Lingzi's expression changed dramatically. After his face flickered between uncertainty and frustration, he forcibly suppressed the intense pain in his body and said, "Mo Yu, how about this? If you let me go, the grudges between my Blood God Clan and you will be written off, and we'll stay out of each other's way.
You've seen it yourself—our Blood God Clan's five Great Elders of Earthly Supremes have gathered. No matter how powerful you are, evading my clan's pursuit won't be easy. So, why don't we each take a step back?"
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly at Xue Lingzi's words, feeling somewhat tempted. Completely antagonizing the Blood God Clan wouldn't benefit him much. Giving each other a way out was undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
"And why should I trust you? What if I let you go, and you go back on your word?" Mo Yu loosened his grip slightly on Xue Lingzi with his Heavenly Dharma Body and spoke indifferently.
Although he agreed with Xue Lingzi's suggestion, Mo Yu remained highly skeptical of his character.
As the terrifying pressure surrounding him gradually dissipated, Xue Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief. However, after testing his restraints and realizing he still couldn't break free from the Heavenly Dharma Body, a flicker of calculation flashed deep in his eyes before he spoke again.
"If you don't trust me, then I, Xue Lingzi, swear upon the ancestors of the Blood God Clan—if I go back on my word, may my Blood God Clan face total annihilation. How about that?"
Hearing such a ruthless oath, Xue Yi and the others felt a chill in their hearts. As expected of their heartless and merciless patriach, he had no qualms about dragging the entire clan down with him just to secure his own survival.
But Mo Yu merely sneered in response. Did Xue Lingzi really think a mere oath could fool him? Did he take Mo Yu for some naïve country bumpkin from a lower plane?
Besides, the Blood God Clan's future was already doomed—it wouldn't have a good ending either way.
"Xue Lingzi, do you take me for a fool? You think an oath like that is enough to buy your life? Give me something real, or this standoff will continue." Mo Yu's cold sneer deepened.
Seeing that Mo Yu wasn't falling for his trick, Xue Lingzi stiffened. Truthfully, if he managed to escape, he absolutely intended to go back on his word and capture Mo Yu on the spot. After all, as the dignified patriach of the Blood God Clan, being captured alive like this was a humiliating disgrace.
As for the so-called clan-destroying curse, he naturally didn't care in the slightest.
"In that case, what will it take for you to believe me?" Xue Lingzi's eyes flickered as he pushed the decision back onto Mo Yu.
Mo Yu's expression darkened. Given the current situation, he couldn't immediately think of a good solution.
"Hehe, how about letting this old man act as a guarantor for you two?"
Just as Mo Yu was lost in thought, the space in the distant sky suddenly rippled. A swirling vortex formed, and moments later, an elderly man in black robes, exuding a divine presence, slowly emerged.
The black-robed elder carried an aura of majesty and dignity. Most surprising of all, his presence was on par with Xue Lingzi's—clearly, he was also a top-tier Earthly Supreme.
"Luo Tianshen? You! Why are you here!?" Xue Lingzi's expression shifted slightly, his voice sinking.
"Oh, Luo Tianshen…" Hearing the name, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned before recognition dawned on him.
This man was none other than the former patriach of the Luo God Clan and the grandfather of Luo Li—who, in the original story, became the wife of the third Chosen One of the Great Thousand World, Mu Chen.
"Hehe, I sensed a major battle taking place here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to witness such a spectacular sight—the great patriarch of the Blood God Clan suffering such a miserable defeat." Luo Tianshen seemed rather pleased with the situation, chuckling in amusement.
"You…!"
Having his humiliating defeat witnessed by an old rival, Xue Lingzi's expression turned even gloomier. But right now, he was under someone else's control, and he had to endure the humiliation. His top priority was escaping Mo Yu's grasp—settling scores with the Luo God Clan could wait for later.
"Lord Thunder Emperor, this old man is Luo Tianshen, the patriach of the Luo God Clan. It is an honor to meet you." Luo Tianshen turned to Mo Yu, his tone polite.
Although Mo Yu was a young junior, the fact that he had defeated Xue Lingzi, a Greater Earthly Supreme, while only being an Lesser Earthly Supreme himself was astonishing. Even someone like Luo Tianshen had to acknowledge his strength with respect.
"So it's Patriach Luo of the Luo God Clan. I've long heard of your great name." Mo Yu smiled lightly and cupped his hands in greeting. Though Luo Tianshen's personal strength wasn't particularly remarkable, his future grandson-in-law was an exceptional figure, making him someone worth showing respect to.
"Patriach Luo, what exactly do you mean by acting as a guarantor?" Mo Yu asked after exchanging greetings.
"Hehe, as a guarantor, I aim to resolve the standoff between you and the Blood God Clan's Patriach.
Here's my proposal—Lord Thunder Emperor, you release the Blood God Clan's patriach, and in return, he must let go of any grievances regarding today's events.
Of course, if he dares to go back on his word, that would mean disregarding my guarantee. In that case, the Luo God Clan will stand alongside Lord Thunder Emperor against the Blood God Clan!"
As soon as Luo Tianshen finished speaking, his Greater Earthly Supreme aura erupted, instantly suppressing Xue Yi and the others to the point of turning their faces pale.
Xue Lingzi's expression darkened further. If this was the case, the Blood God Clan would be forced to swallow its pride and let the matter go.
After all, if Mo Yu's strength was already a major threat, adding the Luo God Clan's forces into the equation would make it even more difficult for the Blood God Clan to handle both at once. Worse yet, it might even backfire on them—after all, Xue Lingzi had just experienced Mo Yu's terrifying power firsthand.
Mo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He could vaguely sense Luo Tianshen's true intentions.
According to the original storyline, the Luo God Clan had long since begun declining from its former glory. Furthermore, it was suffering suppression from the ambitious Blood God Clan, putting it in an increasingly precarious position.
Now, by stepping in as a guarantor, Luo Tianshen clearly saw an opportunity—he was trying to pull Mo Yu into an alliance against the Blood God Clan.
It was a calculated and cunning move.
"Hehe, of course, if the two of you don't trust me, then forget I said anything. You can settle this matter however you see fit." Seeing Mo Yu and Xue Lingzi remain silent, Luo Tianshen stroked his beard with a faint smile.
"Patriach Luo, I have great faith in your character." After a brief moment of thought, Mo Yu nodded.
At this point, only Luo Tianshen's guarantee could break the stalemate. As for Xue Lingzi, he had no choice but to accept, given his disadvantaged position.
"Hehe, then rest assured, Lord Thunder Emperor. I swear upon my honor that I will not betray this trust." Luo Tianshen smiled upon receiving Mo Yu's trust.
Mo Yu nodded slightly. Given Luo Li's grandfather's reputation, he was indeed trustworthy. Moreover, the Luo God Clan and the Blood God Clan were already at odds.
Just as Mo Yu was about to release Xue Lingzi as agreed, a voice transmission from Wind Emperor suddenly reached his ears, making his expression shift slightly.
Then, raising a brow, Mo Yu chuckled. "Oh, by the way, if you want me to release Xue Lingzi, the Blood God Clan must agree to one more condition."
"What condition?" Xue Lingzi felt an ominous premonition rise in his heart.
"Hehe, one hundred million Supreme Spiritual Liquid in exchange for your patriach's freedom. Not a bad deal, right?"
