Over the next period, as the commotion caused by the Supreme Treasure of this region gradually subsided, the Blood Rock Realm was once again shaken to its core. This time, the source of the upheaval was none other than the establishment of the Thunder Prison.
No one had anticipated that the once chaotic Blood Rock Realm, filled with competing factions, would see its landscape change in the blink of an eye.
Originally, the Blood Rock Realm had seven top-tier factions, but with the destruction of the Ice Pavilion, the remaining six chose to merge, giving birth to the Thunder Prison.
What shocked all the factions of the Blood Rock Realm even more was that the leader of the Thunder Prison was not a native of the realm but an unknown powerhouse—Mo Yu!
To add to the shock, top forces such as the Shura Gate, Blood Shark Tower, and Snow Valley announced their allegiance to the Thunder Prison, recognizing Mo Yu as their supreme leader.
The moment this news spread, it sent ripples not only through the Blood Rock Realm but even across the Northern Region of the Skylaw Continent. After all, with this unification, the newly formed Thunder Prison boasted over five Earthly Supreme powerhouses.
Moreover, their leader, Mo Yu, was a complete mystery. Yet, for him to have subdued the top forces of the Blood Rock Realm, his strength was undoubtedly at least at the Greater Earthly Supreme level.
With such an impressive lineup, not to mention the Blood Rock Realm, even across the entire Northern Region of Skylaw Continent, the Thunder Prison was now among the strongest forces.
To many experts in the Blood Rock Realm, the name Mo Yu was unfamiliar. After all, the Skylaw Continent was far from the Western Heaven Continent, and not everyone had access to the latest intelligence.
But despite not knowing who Mo Yu was, the emergence of the Thunder Prison caused an undeniable uproar, becoming the hottest topic in the Northern Region.
Previously, the dominant forces of the Skylaw Continent had always overlooked the Blood Rock Realm due to its constant turmoil. Without a true powerhouse ruling over it, any external invasion would have been met with fierce resistance. If not for this territorial exclusivity, those top-tier factions would have long stretched their hands in, slowly annexing the region.
But now, the Blood Rock Realm had finally produced a powerhouse faction of significant weight. With several top forces merging under its banner, there was no doubt that the Thunder Prison would become the undisputed ruler of the Blood Rock Realm.
Using this as a foundation, the Thunder Prison had successfully entered the ranks of the continent's dominant forces, gaining the potential for external expansion. It was clear that in the coming years, this newly established faction would grow into another behemoth in the Northern Region.
Three days later, amidst the shockwaves of this development, the Thunder Prison officially opened its headquarters.
After much deliberation, the Thunder Prison chose to establish its base at the former site of the Ice Pavilion.
This decision was not without its difficulties. During the discussions about their headquarters' location, factions such as the Shura Gate and Blood Shark Tower each wanted it to be on their own turf, which would have saved them the trouble of relocating.
With Mo Yu absent, the six faction leaders had different opinions, leading to a deadlock. In the end, it was the Wind Emperor—one of Mo Yu's trusted followers—who made the call, settling on the Ice Pavilion's former territory to prevent any one faction from gaining an unfair advantage.
Though reluctant, the others eventually agreed, not wanting to risk angering Mo Yu by prolonging the dispute.
When the Thunder Prison officially opened, the heads of every faction in the Blood Rock Realm, without exception, would gather at its headquarters. Even forces from surrounding regions would be drawn in.
Everyone understood that with the Thunder Prison's rise, the Blood Rock Realm would soon become its exclusive domain. Previously, smaller factions had managed to survive by navigating the conflicts between top-tier forces. But from now on, there would be only one path to survival—aligning themselves with the Thunder Prison.
While the outside world was in an uproar over the sudden emergence of the Blood Rock Realm's new overlord, Mo Yu remained seated deep within the Hidden Treasure's void-like chamber, continuing his cultivation.
His body trembled slightly at regular intervals, and his handsome face occasionally contorted.
This was the result of the Nether Demon Heart Thunder clashing with his heart.
Cultivating the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture required the infiltration of the Nether Demon Heart Thunder into the heart, forming a Demon Heart Seed within. Over the past two days, Mo Yu had been carefully guiding this process.
Though extremely dangerous, his formidable strength, coupled with his mastery over lightning, allowed him to gradually adapt.
Time passed, and after half a day, his body shuddered once more. After a brief pause, his tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.
His deep silver eyes, dark as a black hole, stared forward, his face calm beyond description. This was a tranquility so absolute that even if the heavens collapsed, he would remain unmoved.
It was a state of perfect rationality, immune to external interference.
This was the Demon Heart State.
Mo Yu gently placed a hand over his chest. Deep within his heart—where no ordinary person could see—a small black pearl, the size of a broad bean, had finally taken shape.
It was the Demon Heart Seed.
After enduring countless assaults from the Nether Demon Heart Thunder over two days, the seed had successfully condensed.
The Demon Heart Seed did not provide an immediate surge in power, but it granted Mo Yu unparalleled clarity of mind. This clarity enabled him to utilize his strength to near perfection.
In this state, no technique could disrupt his mind. Even in life-and-death situations, he could remain as still as a tranquil lake, spotting the faintest glimmer of hope amidst despair.
Not only had he successfully condensed the Demon Heart Seed, but he had also ascended to the second stage of the Three-level Demon Heart State—the Greater Demon Heart State.
Although his spiritual energy remained unchanged, his combat strength had increased by more than thirty percent. For someone at the Greater Earthly Supreme level, a thirty percent boost in battle power was an utterly terrifying improvement.
And this was merely a fragmented version of the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture. One could only imagine the true extent of its power in its complete form. No wonder the Mansion Lord of the Ancient Thunder Palace was able to rely on the perfected Demon Heart State to contend with Heavenly Supreme powerhouses.
Mo Yu slowly extended his slender fingers before clenching them into a fist. The absolute control he now wielded over every ounce of his strength brought a rare smirk to his lips.
As expected of the legendary art of the Ancient Thunder Palace, the signature technique of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor.
Mo Yu couldn't shake the feeling that the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture might very well be one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities of the Great Thousand World. Otherwise, it would have never been the defining technique of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor—one of the Nine Ancient Emperors, alongside the Heavenly Emperor.
Since the Heavenly Emperor's Three Pures was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, then as a rival of the same era, the means of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor would surely not be far behind.
"Hehe, how does it feel..."
On the other side, Thunder Saint gazed at Mo Yu, who had cultivated the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture in just two days and even comprehended the Great Demon Heart State. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes before he chuckled lightly.
He himself had once cultivated the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture, but even with his talent, it had taken him several months just to achieve the first stage, the Lesser Demon Heart State.
Although his cultivation at the time was only at the Supreme Realm, which could not compare to Mo Yu's Greater Earthly Supreme level, Mo Yu's ability to grasp the Greater Demon Heart State in such a short time still astonished him.
After all, the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture was no ordinary divine ability.
"As expected of the signature technique of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor. Its power is indeed extraordinary. I must thank Senior for this gift." Mo Yu smiled faintly and cupped his hands in gratitude.
One should always remember the source when drinking water. Without this Earthly Supreme inheritance, he would not have gained so many benefits. As the master of this inheritance, Thunder Saint was indeed deserving of his thanks.
Thunder Saint merely smiled slightly at Mo Yu's gratitude, saying nothing more. After a brief pause, he said, "Your talent in the path of Thunder is truly rare. Back in the days of the Ancient Thunder Palace, even core disciples were not guaranteed to succeed in cultivating the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture.
Yet you managed to reach the Greater Demon Heart State in just two days. That is truly astounding talent."
Hearing this, Mo Yu smiled indifferently, without a trace of arrogance. With his strength at the Greater Earthly Supreme level, he was more than capable of battling a Half-step Perfected Earthly Supreme. Thus, condensing a Demon Heart Seed was not a difficult task for someone like him, who had been playing with thunder for decades.
Instead, what piqued Mo Yu's curiosity was Thunder Saint's background. His gaze flickered slightly before he asked, "Senior Thunder Saint, may I ask—do you have any connection with the Ancient Thunder Palace?"
Thunder Saint fell silent for a moment before shaking his head with a sigh. "It doesn't matter if I tell you. In ancient times, the renowned Demon Heart Thunder Emperor was, in fact, my master."
"Oh? The Demon Heart Thunder Emperor was your teacher?"
Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, clearly surprised by Thunder Saint's background.
One must know that the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor, as one of the Nine Emperors of the Ancient Era, was no ordinary Touching Heavenly Supreme but a Saint-grade Touching Heavenly Supreme. Even in the vast Great Thousand World, he was one of the absolute peak figures.
As the disciple of such a figure, even though Thunder Saint himself was only at the Perfected Earthly Supreme level, his status was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"So, Senior Thunder Saint has such a remarkable background..." Looking at the man before him, Mo Yu cupped his hands again out of respect.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth. These are just empty titles now. Besides, I was expelled from my master's sect long ago."
As he recalled the past, a touch of nostalgia surfaced in Thunder Saint's eyes. However, when he mentioned his expulsion, a bitter smile also appeared at the corner of his lips.
Mo Yu was puzzled but did not interrupt. He knew that, at this moment, the best thing he could do was listen quietly.
Sure enough, Thunder Saint continued slowly, "Back when my master founded the Ancient Thunder Palace, he took in seven disciples in total. I was the third, but I was also the most rebellious and competitive of them all.
During an internal competition within the sect, I was too eager to win and ended up severely injuring my junior brother, nearly crippling him. It took Master a great deal of divine power and effort to save him.
But back then, I was young and arrogant, and I didn't think much of it. I even believed that weakness was the greatest sin, that victors should not be blamed.
Yet, after the competition ended, instead of receiving a reward for my victory, Master confined me for two years.
I was unwilling to accept this punishment and refused to admit any fault. In a fit of anger, I left the sect without permission and wandered the world for years. Later, when I learned that I had been expelled from the sect, I was so enraged that I established my own force—the Thunder Saint Sect."
Mo Yu listened quietly. He had to admit that Thunder Saint's mindset aligned with that of most cultivators—do whatever it takes to achieve victory, for the victor is beyond reproach.
While Mo Yu did not fully agree with this philosophy, he did not argue against it either. After all, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
What puzzled him, however, was that despite founding his own sect, Thunder Saint still seemed to hold deep sentiments for the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor and the Ancient Thunder Palace.
As if sensing Mo Yu's doubt, Thunder Saint said, "I suppose you're wondering why, after being expelled from my master's sect, I don't hate him."
Without waiting for Mo Yu's response, Thunder Saint continued reminiscing, murmuring, "After leaving the sect, I did resent Master. That's why I sought to establish my own force, relying on my strength to create the Thunder Saint Sect.
But at that time, I was weak, with no foundation. Even after founding a sect, I had no place to settle and was forced to wander constantly.
It wasn't until later that I received an invitation from the Heavenly Emperor. With the protection of the Ancient Heaven Palace, I was finally able to establish a foothold on Skylaw Continent. Only then did the Thunder Saint Sect gradually grow into a major force."
Mo Yu nodded slightly. That explained why the Thunder Saint Sect perished alongside the Ancient Heaven Palace, rather than being established after its fall, as rumors claimed.
As Mo Yu pondered this, Thunder Saint looked at him once more and asked, "Do you know why the illustrious Heavenly Emperor of that time took an interest in an unknown nobody like me and invited me to Skylaw Continent to establish a sect?"
Mo Yu was taken aback, his eyes flickering with contemplation. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he said, "Because of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor?"
"Oh..." Hearing Mo Yu expose the truth so easily, Thunder Saint was briefly stunned before a complicated expression surfaced on his face, followed by a sigh.
"I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly. Unfortunately, back then, I was young and arrogant. I thought the Heavenly Emperor valued my talent and wanted to make my sect an affiliate of his forces. Little did I know, it was just a favor my master had asked of an old friend..."
Listening to the complexity in Thunder Saint's tone, Mo Yu finally understood the truth. It was clear that, after being expelled, Thunder Saint believed that the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor had abandoned him.
Yet, unbeknownst to him, his master had never truly forsaken him and had always been helping him in secret. Thus, Thunder Saint's resentment gradually transformed into guilt.
And that guilt, after the destruction of both the Ancient Thunder Palace and the Thunder Saint Sect, became an eternal regret.
As Mo Yu sighed inwardly, Thunder Saint suddenly lifted his gaze, looking at him intently. "Would you be willing to inherit my master, the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor's, legacy?"
