"Thunder Saint!"
Seeing the spirit puppet suddenly appear before him, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, then muttered in surprise.
This person was none other than the spirit puppet he had encountered outside the grand hall earlier—also the true owner of this Earthly Supreme Hidden Treasure, the Thunder Saint.
"Never did I expect that after ten thousand years, someone would still be able to reach this place and awaken the remnants of my divine consciousness."
As Mo Yu remained in shock, the spirit puppet—or rather, the Thunder Saint, now that his consciousness had reawakened—slowly lifted his head. His gaze pierced through the void and locked onto Mo Yu with an air of supreme authority.
From his words, it was clear that Mo Yu had unintentionally stumbled upon this place, triggering the awakening of the Thunder Saint's last lingering spirit, allowing him to take control of the spirit puppet once more.
"Hmm?"
However, as soon as the Thunder Saint's gaze landed on Mo Yu, his expression shifted slightly, a hint of astonishment flashing across his face.
"Such pure thunder energy… You actually possess the Heavenly Thunder Body?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu was taken aback. He hadn't expected his constitution to surprise a Perfected Earthly Supreme powerhouse to such an extent.
Since the other party had already discerned it, Mo Yu pondered briefly before nodding straightforwardly, openly admitting it.
"Indeed, senior. My physique is the Heavenly Thunder Body. Does senior recognize it?"
Judging from the Thunder Saint's reaction, the Heavenly Thunder Body seemed to be quite extraordinary. Mo Yu had his suspicions about this as well—after all, the strength of the Heavenly Dharma Body was evident to all, so it made sense that its corresponding physique wouldn't be ordinary.
Besides, this was merely a spirit puppet. Even if it harbored any ill intentions, with Mo Yu's current strength as a Greater Earthly Supreme, he had nothing to fear.
"Heh, how could I not know? The Heavenly Dharma Body is an unparalleled war body, no weaker than the Ancient clans or the True Dragons and Phoenixes. In ancient times, it was renowned far and wide."
"Oh? Comparable to the Ancient clans and True Dragons and Phoenixes?" Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's expression shifted, a glint of shock flashing in his eyes.
The Ancient clans were ancient clans that had existed since the primordial era, with vast foundations and formidable strength. In fact, one of the Five Ancient Clans, the Ancient Buddha Clan, was the maternal clan of Mu Chen, the Son of the Gre at Thousand World Plane.
The Ancient Buddha Clan was incomparably powerful, their depth unfathomable. Even superpowers regarded them with great caution. Their core technique, the Great Pagoda Art, granted them a bloodline energy with sealing properties, making them masters of sealing techniques.
If the Ancient Buddha Clan's strength was already so terrifying, then the other ancient clans were bound to be just as formidable. As for the True Dragons and Phoenixes, they were even more extraordinary—supreme divine beasts, standing at the pinnacle of the beast race's hierarchy.
Yet, according to the Thunder Saint, the Heavenly Thunder Body was no weaker than these legendary beings. How could this not shock Mo Yu?
"Oh? You seem a bit surprised by my words. But that's understandable—your Heavenly Thunder Body is incomplete. It seems to have been acquired postnatally rather than being innate, so its power is naturally diminished."
The Thunder Saint chuckled upon seeing Mo Yu's reaction before speaking in an indifferent tone.
"So he could tell that as well…"
Hearing the Thunder Saint expose his background, Mo Yu didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he merely smiled faintly before his gaze flickered, cupping his hands in respect.
"Senior is indeed perceptive. My Heavenly Thunder Body was not naturally formed. I wonder… does senior have a way to perfect it? If you do, I would be extremely grateful."
Mo Yu was always good at seizing opportunities. Seeing that the Thunder Saint was so familiar with the Heavenly Thunder Body, it was clear that he knew something about it. Mo Yu wouldn't hesitate to seek guidance.
To him, the Heavenly Thunder Body was his foundation for dominating the Great Thousand World. If he could perfect it to rival the Ancient clans and True Dragons and Phoenixes, his combat prowess would skyrocket once more.
"Heh, you're quite direct. However, the Heavenly Thunder Body is an unparalleled war body. Even I do not possess a solution for perfecting it." The Thunder Saint shook his head.
Hearing this, Mo Yu felt a tinge of disappointment. If even the Thunder Saint didn't have a method, then it seemed like the solution wouldn't be easy to find.
"However, while I don't have the solution, I can give you a clue. I can tell that you have immense potential. If you grow strong enough, you may become a pillar of the Great Thousand World, protecting it from the extraterritorial evil races."
Just as Mo Yu felt dejected, the Thunder Saint spoke again, his tone filled with hope and expectation.
"Oh? Senior has a clue?" Mo Yu's eyes lit up. However, upon hearing the Thunder Saint's request, he nodded solemnly and cupped his hands in a formal pledge.
"Senior, rest assured. As a son of the Great Thousand World, I will never allow the extraterritorial evil races to corrupt our land."
Seeing Mo Yu's firm resolve, the Thunder Saint nodded approvingly. Although he had been in slumber, after regaining his divine consciousness, he had learned about what had happened in the hidden treasure and knew that Mo Yu had previously eradicated remnants of the extraterritorial evil races.
With outstanding talent and a determination to protect the Great Thousand World, Mo Yu had thoroughly gained the Thunder Saint's favor.
"Before I tell you the clue to perfecting the Heavenly Thunder Body, take these first—the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture. Consider them my gift to you."
However, to Mo Yu's surprise, the Thunder Saint did not immediately reveal the clue but instead gestured toward the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and the damaged stone tablet.
"Oh…?"
Mo Yu was slightly taken aback, but then he seemed to realize something. He looked at the Thunder Saint and pondered, "If I recall correctly, the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and Supreme Demon Heart Scripture are the signature techniques of the Ancient Thunder Palace. Senior, how did you come by them?"
"Heh, I'll explain that along with the clue later. For now, just accept these first." The Thunder Saint smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Mo Yu still had doubts, but he nodded nonetheless.
Even without the Thunder Saint's appearance, the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and Supreme Demon Heart Scripture were already his targets. Moreover, Mo Yu suspected that the Thunder Saint had deep ties to the Ancient Thunder Palace.
By having him subdue the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and study the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture, perhaps… this was also a test.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu smiled faintly. His figure flickered and—whoosh!—he appeared like a phantom above the formless thunder python.
—Hiss!
The formless thunder python suddenly raised its head, its sinister mouth gaping open. But the sound that emerged was not a serpent's hiss—instead, it was a sharp, ghostly wail-like thunder roar!
The thunderous sound reverberated outward, yet Mo Yu merely let out a cold snort, instantly shattering the thunderous roar into nothingness.
Mo Yu merely waved his sleeve, and a powerful force immediately surged toward the Nether Demon Heart Thunder.
In an instant, the space around the Nether Demon Heart Thunder exploded violently. A brilliant, almost tangible spiritual energy seemed to seep out from the void, transforming into a true spiritual prison that bound it within.
The prison shimmered with a thunder-like luster, formed from the purest and most refined spiritual energy, making it utterly indestructible. Its density and strength were far beyond what the Nether Demon Heart Thunder could break through.
This level of control was a hallmark of Earthly Supreme-level experts. Only at this realm could one refine the world's spiritual energy to such an extreme degree, where even the slightest movement contained a power vastly superior to ordinary forces.
The Nether Demon Heart Thunder's expression changed as an overwhelming surge of thunder energy erupted from its body. However, when its full-powered attack landed on the spiritual prison, the structure didn't even tremble.
The methods of a Greater Earthly Supreme were clearly far beyond what a Half-step Earthly Supreme like the Nether Demon Heart Thunder could resist.
After completing this, Mo Yu spread his palm, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the formless Thunder Python. A strange power burst forth, and the Thunder Python was gradually pulled toward his palm.
Boom! Boom!
Sensing danger, the Thunder Python struggled frantically. A terrifying surge of Nether Demon Heart Thunder erupted, distorting the surrounding space with its sheer force.
Yet, against Mo Yu's suppression, all resistance was meaningless. In no time, the Thunder Python disintegrated into countless strands of formless lightning, which were swiftly absorbed into Mo Yu's body.
At the same time, having devoured the Nether Demon Heart Thunder, Mo Yu slowly closed his eyes in front of Thunder Saint.
However, Thunder Saint did not seem displeased. Instead, a hint of intrigue appeared on his face.
No one knew how much time had passed—perhaps five minutes, or maybe a quarter of an hour—before Mo Yu finally opened his eyes and extended his right hand.
Lightning spiritual energy flickered around his palm, taking on a translucent hue. Within this transparency, an almost imperceptible sound of thunder resonated softly.
Clearly, in less than a quarter of an hour, Mo Yu had successfully subdued and fused with the Nether Demon Heart Thunder.
"Not bad..." Thunder Saint, watching from the side, showed a trace of admiration. While Mo Yu's strength was far above the Nether Demon Heart Thunder, being able to subdue and refine it in such a short time spoke volumes about his mastery over lightning.
However, after a brief moment of praise, Thunder Saint said nothing more. Instead, he turned his gaze toward a broken stone tablet not far away.
Noticing this, Mo Yu understood his intention and stepped forward. Placing both hands on the tablet, he began to comprehend the supreme cultivation method contained within—The Supreme Demon Heart Scripture.
Mo Yu coveted this technique greatly. According to the original records, it was the core divine ability of Ancient Thunder Palace, and its palace master had relied on the codex's Demon Heart State to reach a level where, as a Touching Heavenly Supreme, he could contend with a true Heavenly Supreme.
Even Mo Yu deeply respected such an achievement. While he could challenge a Greater Earthly Supreme as a Low Earthly Supreme, that was largely due to favorable circumstances.
In contrast, the gap between a Touching Heavenly Supreme and a Heavenly Supreme was astronomical. The fact that the palace master could bridge this difference demonstrated the terrifying nature of the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture.
The most fearsome aspect of the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture was its Demon Heart State.
This state was an incredibly terrifying transformation. Once entered, all external interference would be shut out, granting absolute control over one's body. Every strand of spiritual energy and every ounce of physical power would be pushed to their utmost limit.
To some extent, achieving the Demon Heart State meant becoming a pure battle machine, with combat strength surging exponentially.
It was no wonder that the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture was so renowned.
After contemplating this, Mo Yu swiftly calmed his mind. Given his current strength and talent, it took him only a brief moment to grasp the contents of the stone tablet.
However, there was a problem—the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture was incomplete.
Even so, Mo Yu gained considerable insight into it. The Demon Heart State was divided into three levels: Lesser Demon Heart State, Greater Demon Heart State, and the ultimate Perfect Demon Heart State.
The palace master of Ancient Thunder Palace had cultivated the Demon Heart State to its Perfect level. Without this mastery, he could never have fought against a Heavenly Supreme while being only a Touching Heavenly Supreme himself.
Judging from the current remnants of the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture, even if one cultivated it to the limit, they could only reach the Greater Demon Heart State. To attain the Perfect Demon Heart State, one would likely need the complete codex.
This thought stirred something within Mo Yu. Perhaps, in the future, he might need to pay a visit to Ancient Thunder Palace?
"...This is going to be difficult to cultivate."
Setting this idea aside for now, Mo Yu replayed the ancient insights in his mind. His expression grew somewhat strange upon realizing that the training method for the Demon Heart State was utterly brutal.
To cultivate the Demon Heart State, one first needed to condense a Demon Heart Seed.
The process required enduring countless strikes from the Nether Demon Heart Thunder directly to the heart, allowing its energy to seep in and gradually coalesce into the Demon Heart Seed deep within.
To most, this training method was nothing short of suicidal.
After all, the heart was the most fragile part of the human body. Any injury to it could lead to severe wounds or even death. Who would willingly let the overwhelmingly destructive Nether Demon Heart Thunder bombard their heart?
One mistake, and the thunder would detonate their heart into oblivion.
Even if someone obtained the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture, they would likely hesitate to cultivate it.
Though an Earthly Supreme possessed a life force far beyond ordinary people, the heart remained a critical weakness. Furthermore, the Nether Demon Heart Thunder was as powerful as a Half-step Earthly Supreme. If something went wrong, even Mo Yu could end up seriously wounded—or worse.
No wonder Thunder Saint had encouraged him to subdue the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and cultivate the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture. This was undoubtedly a test.
If Mo Yu hesitated, he would likely gain nothing.
However, Mo Yu merely chuckled. As the Thunder Emperor, why would he be afraid of such a thing?
His silver eyes sharpened as he slowly closed them. With a thought, the spiritual energy infused with Nether Demon Heart Thunder surged through his meridians.
Finally, like a torrential flood, it shot forth—striking straight at his heart with the speed of lightning!
