Within the grand ancient hall, as Mo Yu's voice fell, stating his intention to take them under his command, silence immediately engulfed the hall.

Seated in the hall were all Earthly Supremes, each of whom was also the leader of a major force. In their respective sects and domains, they were supreme figures, wielding absolute power.

Now, to suddenly submit to another—especially to Mo Yu, who had only recently arrived—was naturally difficult to accept, if not outright met with distrust.

Despite this, Mo Yu remained calm and composed, showing no trace of emotion. Clearly, he was not surprised by Feng Yuanzi, Zhong Cang, and the others' reactions. After all, he had no prior ties with them, and expecting them to submit willingly was anything but simple.

"Lord Thunder Emperor, while your strength is undeniable and your combat prowess is formidable, you are, like us, merely a Lesser Earthly Supreme. If you wish to rally us under your banner, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone," the Demon Domain Lord said, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Though the other five Earthly Supremes remained silent, their thoughts were likely no different from the Demon Domain Lord's. They simply chose to be more reserved, unwilling to be the first to voice their dissent.

Faced with their skeptical gazes, Mo Yu merely smiled faintly. He lifted his head and looked toward the Demon Domain Lord, speaking in a calm tone.

"The current situation is this—you need me to remove the corruption marks of the Extraterritorial Evil Race from your bodies. I, on the other hand, am not begging you to join me. That is the premise.

"Of course, I understand this proposal comes as a surprise to you all, so your resistance is natural."

The Demon Domain Lord gave Mo Yu a deep look before speaking in a low voice. "Though Lord Thunder Emperor's battle strength is far superior to ours, your renown is still shallow, and your foundation unstable.

"If you position yourself above us, even if we comply, our subordinates will surely object. That will only cause more problems in the future."

Clearly, this man was shrewd. He phrased his rejection in a respectful tone while shifting the blame onto their followers.

Mo Yu nodded with a smile at his reasoning, then turned to look at Feng Yuanzi, the Barbarian Sect Master, and the other Earthly Supremes. "I assume the rest of you share the same sentiment?"

Feng Yuanzi and the others chuckled, replying unhurriedly, "Although Lord Thunder Emperor's strength is extraordinary, your experience is indeed lacking. It would be difficult to command universal respect."

They did not wish to outright refuse Mo Yu, nor did they want to offend him. After all, a Lesser Earthly Supreme of such immense power was a rarity, and his potential was undeniable. In the future, he could very well become a true supreme powerhouse.

More importantly, they still needed his help to remove the Extraterritorial Evil Race's corruption marks. Offending him now was not a wise choice.

"Hehe, Lord Thunder Emperor, in my humble opinion, how about this—we, the six major forces of the Blood Rock Realm, form an alliance, and in this alliance, we acknowledge you as our leader. However, in daily affairs, our six factions will remain autonomous and uninhibited. What do you think?" Feng Yuanzi proposed a compromise.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Domain Lord and the others pondered briefly before nodding. An alliance was still a collective body, but it was looser in structure.

While they would acknowledge Mo Yu as their leader in name, they would still retain full control over their respective forces. Moreover, having Mo Yu as a figurehead meant they would have someone powerful backing them.

With this in mind, they all turned to Mo Yu, waiting for his response.

However, upon hearing the suggestion, Mo Yu frowned slightly. While he could slowly consolidate power over the alliance in the future, he had no interest in wasting time doing so.

Having made up his mind, he chuckled and said, "I understand your concerns. But what if I told you I have confidence in breaking through to Greater Earthly Supreme?"

As soon as those words fell, Feng Yuanzi and the others' expressions shifted, their gazes filled with surprise.

Greater Earthly Supreme?

While the difference between Lesser and Greater Earthly Supreme was just one step, the gap was vast—practically insurmountable. Even the Ice Pavilion Lord, after gaining Greater Earthly Supreme power through the Extraterritorial Evil Race's means, had immediately attempted to dominate the Blood Rock Realm. This alone spoke volumes about how fearsome a Greater Earthly Supreme's strength and deterrence were.

Mo Yu was already capable of contending with a Greater Earthly Supreme while still being at the Lesser Earthly Supreme level. If he truly broke through, his power would be nothing short of terrifying. At that point, both his realm and combat prowess would leave them far behind.

At this realization, Feng Yuanzi and the others exchanged glances. If Mo Yu could truly reach the Greater Earthly Supreme level, then joining him might not be such a bad option after all.

After all, his strength was already evident. If he one day advanced to the Heavenly Supreme level, the force he established could very well become a true superpower in the Great Thousand World.

"Lord Thunder Emperor, do you truly have confidence in breaking through to Greater Earthly Supreme?" Feng Yuanzi's aged eyes gleamed with sharpness.

Mo Yu chuckled. "Since when have I ever lied? How about this—if I can break through to Greater Earthly Supreme within six months, you will all join my ranks. If I fail, I will remove your Extraterritorial Evil Race corruption marks for free. What do you think?"

While breaking through in just six months was a daunting challenge, Mo Yu was willing to try. After all, with the assistance of Perfect-Grade Spiritual Divine Liquid, he had a fair chance. His Heavenly Thunder Body also granted him an innate advantage in cultivation speed.

Moreover, he had been in the Great Thousand World for some time now, yet he had found no trace of Cai Lin, Xiao Yan, or the others. Though he was not too worried about Xiao Yan, he couldn't shake his concern for Cai Lin.

Thus, he wanted to establish a faction where he was the absolute leader. Not only would this allow him to build a superpower of his own, but if Cai Lin or the others ever encountered danger, he would have the forces necessary to rescue them.

As Mo Yu contemplated, Feng Yuanzi and the others exchanged knowing glances, a hint of intrigue surfacing in their expressions. Even Zhong Cang and the Blood Shark Tower Master nodded to themselves.

Although Mo Yu possessed Perfect-Grade Spiritual Divine Liquid, they still found it hard to believe he could break through to Greater Earthly Supreme so quickly. Even they, after cultivating for centuries, had struggled to make any progress beyond Lesser Earthly Supreme.

This alone spoke to the sheer difficulty of advancing to Greater Earthly Supreme—it was akin to ascending to the heavens.

"Very well, I accept your terms." Zhong Cang nodded at Mo Yu, cupping his fists. "Though there have been misunderstandings between us in the past, if you can cleanse us of the corruption marks and achieve your breakthrough, I, Zhong Cang, will lead Shura Gate under your command!"

"I, Blood Shark Tower, will do the same!"

"As will the Barbarian Sect!"

"The Demon Domain as well!"

"Hehe, I have no objections either," Feng Yuanzi chuckled.

In the end, aside from the Snow Valley Lord, all five Earthly Supremes agreed.

Noticing this, Mo Yu turned to the only female Earthly Supreme present and asked, "What about you, Snow Valley Lord? Do you have any objections?"

Hearing this, the Snow Valley Lord lightly bit her red lips and hesitated before saying, "Lord Thunder Emperor, my Snow Valley's situation is rather unique. All the disciples within the valley are female, so even if we pledge allegiance to you, I hope you will not separate us. Instead, I wish for Snow Valley to remain as an independent division under your command."

Upon hearing her request, Mo Yu pondered for a moment before nodding. "That is acceptable."

Hearing his response, the Snow Valley Lord immediately let out a sigh of relief and quickly expressed her gratitude. "Thank you. In that case, Snow Valley agrees to the arrangement."

"Hehe, now that everything is settled, the wager is officially established. Everyone, the Baleful Thunder Dragon Seal can temporarily suppress the corrosion of your magic marks. You should remain here and wait for a while."

As Mo Yu finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and the Baleful Thunder Dragon Seal materialized, rapidly expanding until it reached several hundred zhang in size.

Seeing this, Feng Yuanzi and the others leaped onto the Baleful Thunder Dragon Seal and sat cross-legged.

The moment they came into contact with the seal, they could clearly feel the invasive power of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan within their bodies being significantly suppressed.

Noticing the effects, a trace of joy surfaced in their eyes.

As expected of a sacred artifact—it was truly extraordinary.

However, they also understood that while this artifact could suppress the corruption of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan's power, it could not completely remove it. Only Mo Yu himself could do that.

And right now, Mo Yu was preparing for his breakthrough.

At this thought, the expressions of the Blood Rock Realm's top faction leaders, including the Demon Leader, turned conflicted. On one hand, they did not want Mo Yu to succeed in breaking through to Greater Earthly Supreme. If he succeeded, they would have to submit to him according to the agreement, losing their status as dominant rulers.

On the other hand, they feared that if Mo Yu failed, he might go back on his word and refuse to erase their magic marks…

"Protect me."

On the other side, Mo Yu smiled at the six Earthly Supremes sitting atop the Baleful Thunder Dragon Seal, then turned to Wind Emperor and gave a brief instruction.

With that, he activated his power, and a golden embryonic liquid—the Perfect-grade Spiritual Divine Liquid—manifested in the air before him. Without hesitation, Mo Yu swallowed it.

Buzz!

In the next instant, a dazzling light burst forth from Mo Yu's location as the ancient and refined spiritual energy contained within the Perfect-grade Spiritual Divine Liquid erupted, engulfing his entire body.

As the light enveloped him, Mo Yu immediately felt an immense tide of spiritual energy permeating every corner of his body, as though it was seeping in through every pore.

His flesh suddenly began to boil, greedily devouring the vast surge of energy.

The sensation was akin to an infant tasting the sweetest and most nourishing milk for the first time—an instinctual craving from the depths of his being.

As the endless spiritual energy surged into his body and clashed with his own energy, it felt like crystal-clear water being infused with rich, thick ink. In an instant, his spiritual energy began to grow denser and more profound.

Under the baptism of this ancient power, Mo Yu could feel every part of his body—his muscles, bones, blood, and even his spiritual energy—undergoing an earth-shattering transformation…

Meanwhile, in the distance, although Feng Yuanzi and the others were using the Baleful Thunder Dragon Seal to suppress the magic marks within their bodies, their attention was still fixated on Mo Yu.

Before them, rays of lightning radiated in all directions, and at the center of the lightning, a tall, cross-legged figure could be faintly seen.

Although Mo Yu had not intentionally released his aura, the terrifying surges of spiritual energy roiling within him still generated an overwhelming pressure that made even these powerful Earthly Supremes feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.

Moreover, as Mo Yu's cultivation progressed, they could sense that the radiant energy was continuously expanding. Wherever the light spread, even space itself began to distort under the immense pressure, unable to withstand its power.

Originally standing nearby, Wind Emperor was eventually forced to retreat, as staying too close to the core of the thunderous light would leave him completely immobilized under its oppressive energy.

"This kind of cultivation… it's as if he's absorbing the heavens and the earth themselves…" Wind Emperor gazed at the breathtaking sight before him, unable to suppress his admiration.

In the Great Thousand World, only those who had stepped into the Earthly Supreme Realm could truly be called powerful. However, a Greater Earthly Supreme was a true overlord, reigning over vast territories.

Such strength was enough to make one a clan leader even among the Four Great God Clans of the Great Thousand World.

Reaching that level was the dream of countless Lesser Earthly Supremes—even Wind Emperor himself shared this ambition.

"If you truly succeed in breaking through to Greater Earthly Supreme and unite all the forces of the Blood Rock Realm under your banner, Mo Yu, your future will be boundless." Wind Emperor murmured as he stared at the figure bathed in thunderous light.

With Mo Yu's strength, once he reached the Greater Earthly Supreme level, he would be nearly invincible within the same realm, capable of even challenging those above his level. At that point, the force he was assembling would not only dominate the Blood Rock Realm but also secure a firm foothold in the Northern Domain and even across the entire Skylaw Continent!

"The Perfect-grade Spiritual Divine Liquid truly lives up to its name—it's beyond extraordinary."

Within the thunderous radiance, even Mo Yu, despite his composed nature, couldn't help but feel elated by the overwhelming transformation happening within him. No wonder so many Lesser Earthly Supremes yearned for Spiritual Divine Liquid—its miraculous effects were indeed astonishing.

"However, while the Perfect-grade Spiritual Divine Liquid provides immense energy, the absorption process is extremely time-consuming. It seems that breaking through to Greater Earthly Supreme is not something that can be rushed."

Sensing the gradual transformation within himself, Mo Yu understood that this breakthrough would take a considerable amount of time.

But instead of feeling anxious, Mo Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His cultivation speed had always surpassed that of ordinary people. While his talent was undeniably exceptional, there were times when he needed to slow down and carefully refine his foundation.

No matter how exquisite an unpolished jade might be, it still required meticulous carving. And sometimes, the process of refinement required nothing but time.

After all, if he had not spent over a decade tempering himself in the Dou Qi Continent, he would not have been able to rapidly advance to Earthly Supreme upon arriving in the Great Thousand World.

Mo Yu slowly closed his eyes as his mind grew increasingly focused, gradually sinking into a deep state of cultivation.

During this prolonged baptism of energy, he needed to carefully absorb and refine his progress.

Only by doing so—by accumulating his strength steadily—could he truly make another breakthrough amidst the absorption of the Spiritual Divine Liquid!

And so, time passed quietly, as if stretching on for eternity…
