Chapter 615: Defeating the Great Heavenly Lord, Battling the Vice Hall Master
"Great Heavenly Lord, I've come for you!" Mo Yu looked at the old figure before him, sneering coldly.
The Great Heavenly Lord slowly lifted his head. His gaunt face appeared eerie under the light, and the ghostly flames flickering in his eyes added to the fearsome sight. His raspy voice echoed chillingly in the air.
"Mo Yu, I didn't expect you'd have the guts to deliver yourself here. I'll gladly take your life first!"
"Who's taking whose life, we'll see!" Mo Yu responded coldly.
With his soul power now at the Half-Emperor level, and his Dou Qi cultivation having reached the two-star Dou Saint rank, Mo Yu no longer felt the oppressive pressure from the Great Heavenly Lord, who was also a two-star Dou Saint. In fact, the tables had turned, and now the Great Heavenly Lord was the one feeling the weight of impending doom.
"Arrogant brat! Six months, and you're talking big? This place will be your grave today!" The Great Heavenly Lord's eyebrows furrowed at Mo Yu's fearless demeanor. But after a brief pause, he shook his head, dismissing his uneasy feeling. Even if Mo Yu had made progress in six months, it wasn't enough to surpass him so quickly.
With a wave of his hand, the space above the Great Heavenly Lord rippled violently, and a massive bone blade appeared, radiating a sinister aura. In the next instant, the Great Heavenly Lord leaped into the air, merging with the bone blade.
Having fought Mo Yu before, the Great Heavenly Lord knew his power and wasn't holding back this time, immediately using his strongest killing move.
"Brat, dying under my Bone Emperor Blade is an honor!"
The enormous Bone Emperor Blade hung in the air, and the Great Heavenly Lord's face appeared on the blade, grinning wickedly at Mo Yu. The blade's surface was covered in countless blood-red veins, resembling human blood vessels, densely packed across the weapon.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Great Heavenly Lord's words fell, the Bone Emperor Blade trembled and instantly vanished.
"Hmph, trying this again?" Six months ago, this blade posed a deadly threat to Mo Yu, but now, with both his Dou Qi and soul power having advanced, the Bone Emperor Blade no longer intimidated him.
"Divine Power Black Thunder Spear!"
With a cold shout, Mo Yu's hand grasped the familiar Divine Power Black Thunder Spear, a weapon he hadn't used in a while. Since the spear had absorbed the Northern Dragon King's power and evolved into a ninth-grade weapon, it could now shift between forms, but Mo Yu still preferred its spear form.
With a shake of the spear, countless spear shadows shot out like raindrops.
Clang clang clang!
The rain of spear shadows collided with the violent blade shadows of the Bone Emperor Blade, creating sparks with every clash. Each time the two forces met, the surrounding space cracked, revealing black voids.
Shhh!
Despite the Great Heavenly Lord's fierce onslaught, the Black Thunder Spear remained unfazed. The spear emitted a dragon-like pressure, its overwhelming power and speed causing the Great Heavenly Lord's expression to grow grim.
In just six months, Mo Yu had broken through to the two-star Dou Saint level, and the spear he wielded was equally extraordinary. Normally, the Great Heavenly Lord's man-and-blade fusion technique allowed him to fight even late-stage two-star Dou Saints, but Mo Yu's spear, which seemed to house a true dragon's spirit, held the advantage over his Bone Emperor Blade.
Bang!
Suddenly, the Great Heavenly Lord sensed danger and dodged swiftly, shifting the Bone Emperor Blade just in time.
Boom!
In that instant, the air around them was ripped apart by a black light, and a dragon-like spear beam slammed heavily into the Bone Emperor Blade. The blade emitted a brief flash of light, attempting to block the attack, but the spear beam shattered it. The Divine Power Black Thunder Spear plunged into the bone blade without mercy.
Roar!
A dragon's roar echoed through the grand hall as the immense power of the spear surged forth like a dragon's claw, crashing into the Bone Emperor Blade.
"Ahhh!" The Great Heavenly Lord howled in pain as the spear's terrifying power overwhelmed him. The blood-red veins on the blade, resembling human blood vessels, exploded under the immense pressure, and blood gushed out like a waterfall.
Cracks began to appear on the Bone Emperor Blade, spreading rapidly.
Mo Yu showed no mercy. With a squint of his eyes, he struck again, unleashing an even greater force onto the Bone Emperor Blade.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of shattering echoed through the hall as the Bone Emperor Blade, merged with the Great Heavenly Lord, was covered in cracks. In the next instant, it exploded completely with a resounding bang.
The Great Heavenly Lord's figure was thrown out of the blast, his once fearsome presence now reduced to a pitiful state. His clothes were in tatters, his body drenched in blood, and he lay paralyzed on the ground, as limp as a rag doll.
The shattering of the Bone Emperor Blade had dealt a fatal blow to the Great Heavenly Lord, whose fusion with the blade made the destruction of the weapon lethal to him.
"Brother!" The Second Heavenly Lord, witnessing the scene, turned pale with shock. He rushed to the Great Heavenly Lord's side, trembling with fear and disbelief.
"Go… hurry… leave!" The Great Heavenly Lord, lying in the Second Heavenly Lord's arms, spat out blood and cast a terrified glance at Mo Yu. He hurriedly urged his brother to flee.
Mo Yu's rapid advancement to the two-star Dou Saint rank wasn't the only terrifying aspect—his spear was equally fearsome. When their blade and spear clashed, it felt as though the Great Heavenly Lord was fighting an unstoppable dragon, completely overpowered.
The Second Heavenly Lord, realizing the situation, nodded gravely. Without hesitation, he opened a space rift, intending to flee.
"Trying to escape? Not a chance!" Mo Yu snorted coldly, summoning a thunderous spear wrapped in crackling lightning. The purple arcs of electricity dancing at the spear's tip would make even Saint-level experts tremble.
With a swift motion, Mo Yu raised his arm and hurled the spear at the fleeing brothers.
Boom!
The spear shot through the air like a thunderbolt, ripping through space and leaving a long, dark tear in its wake.
The Great Heavenly Lord and Second Heavenly Lord, both severely injured, were powerless against such a fierce attack. Just as the lightning spear was about to strike them, an unexpected twist occurred.
A powerful surge of energy suddenly erupted within the grand hall, and space twisted before them. A figure materialized in front of the two, and with a mere flick, the figure shattered Mo Yu's lightning spear, nullifying the lethal strike.
"Mo Yu, how dare you!" A cold voice echoed through the hall, brimming with authority.
Mo Yu's eyes narrowed as he looked at the newly arrived figure, a cold smile forming on his lips. "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall. After hiding for so long, you've finally decided to show yourself?"
The figure was shrouded in black mist, with only two eerie, piercing eyes visible, radiating a chilling aura. There was no doubt—this was the elusive Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall.
"Mo Yu, you've killed our Soul Clan members time and time again. Are you trying to force us into a deathmatch?" The voice was laced with menace as the Vice Hall Master's pale face became visible through the black mist. Despite his youthful appearance, his sinister tone betrayed his true age.
"Vice Hall Master, do you really think we haven't already reached the point of no return?" Mo Yu retorted coldly. "It's been either you or me since the beginning!"
The Vice Hall Master sneered. "If not for your connection to the Thunder Clan, do you really think you could have acted so arrogantly in Central Plains for this long?"
"Enough talk. Today, I've come to wipe out the Human Hall, and not even the Vice Hall Master of the Soul Hall can stop me!" Mo Yu's expression grew serious as he exhaled deeply, his hands forming a series of intricate seals.
As the seals took shape, a powerful wave of soul energy burst from Mo Yu's forehead, forming a massive phantom that enveloped him.
"How dare you!" The Vice Hall Master's eyes flashed with fury. He unleashed an overwhelming energy that caused the entire hall to tremble. A mere junior from the Thunder Clan dared to act so brazenly in his presence?
"Then let me see the power of a Soul Hall Vice Hall Master!" Mo Yu's seals solidified, and a cold smile crept across his face. "Netherworld Fury!"
Roar!
With Mo Yu's command, the giant soul phantom opened its mouth wide, unleashing a terrifying blast of soul energy that swept across the hall like a storm.
Boom!
The devastating soul shockwave obliterated everything in its path. Nearly 90% of the Soul Hall experts present froze in place before their bodies disintegrated, their souls erased in an instant.
Clang!
The Vice Hall Master sensed the incoming soul attack and quickly summoned a strange, powerful black mist, forming a shimmering black shield before him. Just as the shield solidified, the soul shockwave hit.
Despite the shield's protection, the soul impact penetrated, flooding the Vice Hall Master's mind. His face turned pale as blood spurted from his mouth, and an excruciating pain shot through his head as if it were being torn apart.
Mo Yu's soul power had reached the threshold of the Emperor level, far beyond what the Vice Hall Master had anticipated. The realization made his heart grow heavy with dread.
"Netherworld Finger!" Mo Yu pointed forward, and a massive energy finger materialized, slamming into the Vice Hall Master's body. The force of the blow sent him crashing to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.
"Netherworld Palm!" Without mercy, Mo Yu unleashed another attack. A colossal energy palm descended, crushing the Vice Hall Master into the earth. The impact created a massive crater, hundreds of meters wide, in the ground.
Three moves—Netherworld Fury, Netherworld Finger, and Netherworld Palm—each executed with precision and overwhelming power. Mo Yu hovered in the sky, breathing deeply as he looked down at the crater.
In the pit below, the Vice Hall Master's life force was barely holding on, a testament to the devastating injuries he had sustained.
Though the Vice Hall Master wasn't dead yet, the damage was done. If word of this battle spread, Mo Yu's name would undoubtedly become a source of terror even within the Soul Clan itself. (Chapter End)
