Chapter 782: Hei Yin Tian, Battle Against the Eighth-Rank Supreme
"You bastard! You dare kill members of my Dark Tiger Clan!?"
Gazing at the corpses of his five slain seven-rank Supremes, Hei Sha froze for a brief moment, then erupted with fury, his venomous glare locked onto Mo Yu.
Those chosen to enter the Divine Beast Plains were all elite offspring of the Dark Tiger Clan—heroes of his generation. Even if some lacked potential compared to him, each one represented a crucial pillar of the clan's future.
And yet, in just a single blow, Mo Yu had obliterated five of them. The loss made Hei Sha's heart bleed with rage.
Even the Earth Leopard Clan's Huang Qi and his subordinates stood in stunned silence. None of them had imagined that the seemingly unremarkable Mo Yu possessed such overwhelming might—to annihilate five seven-rank Supremes with a single strike.
Such strength placed him among the absolute top echelon of prodigies, even in a place as fierce as the Divine Beast Plains.
Realization brought regret to Huang Qi's face. If he had known Han Yue's supposed ally possessed such terrifying combat power, he would never have betrayed their arrangement. Instead, he now found himself on the wrong side of history, facing calamity.
"Oh? So it's fine for your Dark Tiger Clan to scheme in the shadows, but not for me to kill your dogs? I wasn't aware your clan's face was quite so precious." Mo Yu's tone brimmed with mockery.
A cruel smile crossed his lips as his black eyes turned icy. "Don't worry. You're next."
As his words fell, Mo Yu stamped his foot down hard. Terrifying force burst outward, cracks racing across the ground in a hundred-meter radius like a spreading web.
Then, borrowing that recoil, his figure shot forward like lightning, his Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm radiating earth-shattering power aimed straight for Hei Sha's skull.
Swoosh!
Mo Yu's movement was so fast that in a blink he appeared before Hei Sha. The sheer weight of that crushing energy hit like a mountain, and Hei Sha's fury shifted to dread. His face blanched as he finally understood the true terror behind the power that had erased five of his strongest warriors.
But just as Mo Yu's punch fell—
The entire battlefield rumbled.
A flood of brilliant black light descended from the horizon, carrying a domineering spiritual force. It struck Mo Yu's golden arm with pinpoint precision.
His pupils tightened instantly.
That power… far surpassed the limits of a seven-rank Supreme.
Boom!
The collision shook the air violently, thunder echoing. Though the energy was fierce and overwhelming, it was still shattered by the Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm.
Still, the explosion gave Hei Sha precious seconds to retreat, leaping back to a massive tree tens of meters away, his breath ragged, cold sweat trickling down.
The others were equally stunned—Han Yue, Cai Lin, even the Earth Leopard experts. That domineering surge of power clearly exceeded anything present.
Who had such strength?
Mo Yu calmly withdrew his glowing arm, his eyes shifting toward the distance—where three indistinct silhouettes had appeared. Among them, the third drew his attention.
So… the real predator finally emerged.
The earth trembled as the aftermath of the black energy swept by. Then, from those three figures, one stepped forward casually.
He was leaner than most, of average height, his presence unexaggerated. Yet as he advanced, an invisible pressure rolled off him like suffocating gravity.
"Didn't think I'd have to show myself so soon," the newcomer said lightly. "I was hoping to test my strength against some of the true divine prodigies first."
As he raised his head, a deceptively ordinary face came into view. Yet in his eyes gleamed a terrifying light as sharp as a blade.
"You're… Hei Yin Tian!?"
Han Yue's pupils shrank, his voice trembling. "Weren't you supposed to be in seclusion, breaking through to the eighth rank?"
"Hei Yin Tian?"
Mo Yu's brows lifted slightly. If Hei Sha was one of the top geniuses of the Dark Tiger Clan, then Hei Yin Tian was its once-in-a-century monster — a prodigy whose talent could rival even that of the Dragon and Phoenix lineages.
"Lucky breakthrough," Hei Yin Tian said coldly. "And as soon as I emerge, I stumble across the murderer of my clansmen."
He raised a hand. As he did, strange rune-like patterns along his back slowly faded, releasing a flood of spiritual energy.
With their dissipation, an overwhelming aura awakened within him like a sleeping volcano.
"The Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm… I didn't expect a human to cultivate such power. Impressive. But you slaughtered my people—are you ready to pay the price?"
His voice grew colder as his eyes fell on Mo Yu's violet-gold arm.
Mo Yu smiled faintly. "If you want me to pay, let's see if you're strong enough to collect."
"Be careful," Han Yue warned quietly, his tone grim. "He's one of the Dark Tiger Clan's greatest prodigies—now an eighth-rank Supreme. He's not someone you can underestimate."
Mo Yu nodded slightly. He could feel it — the undeniable danger emanating from this man. Hei Yin Tian's strength was leagues above that of Hei Sha or even Sun He. This was real power.
"Kill him, my lord!" Hei Sha shouted, his face contorted with hatred. "He killed our brightest talents—he must die!"
If not for Hei Yin Tian's intervention, he himself would already be dead.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Lord Yin Tian," Huang Qi interjected, stepping forward obsequiously. "With your strength, those Ximo and Swallowing Python whelps will pose no threat."
Hei Yin Tian did not even glance his way. His expression remained detached, his newfound power radiating arrogance. In his mind, the Earth Leopard Clan no longer qualified as an ally—merely pawns, at best.
The treasure of the Treasure Beast would belong to the Dark Tiger Clan alone.
Huang Qi's eyes burned briefly with resentment, but he suppressed it quickly. Before Hei Yin Tian, defiance meant death.
"Brother Mo," Han Yue said quietly, moving closer with his Ximo warriors. "Shall we help you?"
Mo Yu shook his head. "No need. Against him, you'll only get hurt—and I can't protect you."
Understanding flashed through Han Yue's eyes. He gave a brief nod and retreated with his men. They all knew—they were far out of their depth.
Hei Yin Tian advanced slowly, stopping a hundred steps short of Mo Yu. "You seem very confident," he remarked.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Mo Yu answered plainly, unflinching.
Hei Yin Tian smirked, his tone faintly admiring. "So you're the one who truly carries the strength among them. No wonder you've got that arm… But even that might not be enough."
His calm yet domineering presence filled the air. There was no denying it—he was every bit the unrivaled genius his reputation promised.
"Then let's find out," Mo Yu said, purple light beginning to flicker within his dark eyes.
With his perfected beast body and mastery of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm, Mo Yu not only reigned supreme among equals but possessed the power to challenge realms above his own.
Facing an eighth-rank foe didn't terrify him—it ignited his blood. Since perfecting both his beast body and divine arm, he had yet to unleash them fully.
This battle would be the test.
Hei Yin Tian's sharp eyes narrowed. "Such endurance… such power…"
Even before clashing fists, he could feel the oppressive danger radiating from Mo Yu's body. That raw vitality outstripped most Supremes of the same rank.
"I just broke through," Hei Yin Tian said. "And I need a worthy opponent to test myself against. You'll do nicely. Shame it'll end with your death."
The bloodlust in his gaze deepened. "I'll grind your bones to powder."
"Careful," Mo Yu said with a faint laugh. "You might end up breaking your own blade."
Hei Yin Tian froze for an instant—then laughed, loud and booming. "Good! You've got courage!"
His laughter echoed across the battlefield before morphing into a roar—a thunderous tiger's cry that shook heaven and earth.
His aura exploded, waves of black energy surging outward. His hair and pupils turned jet-black as shadows rippled around him. His every breath radiated absolute domination.
The surge was so immense that even Han Yue and Cai Lin, watching from afar, felt their hearts tremble.
"How long has it been," Hei Yin Tian said coldly, "since anyone dared speak to me like that?"
He grinned fiercely, his fangs faintly visible in the dark light. "But if I find you're not worthy of your words, I'll break every bone in your body, one by one!"
Boom!
With a single step, the ground split apart beneath him, and his figure vanished like a streak of shadow.
Mo Yu responded instantly, his arms glowing violet-gold, the Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm roaring to life as his body blurred into motion.
Boom!
A black fist shadow tore through the air, striking where Mo Yu had stood moments ago, the impact collapsing the ground in a hundred-meter radius.
Dust and rock exploded outward. Hei Yin Tian pressed forward, his fists hammering relentlessly like lightning storms — each blow heavy enough to crush mountains.
Mo Yu dodged narrowly, retreating step by step, the air screaming under the weight of their energy.
"What's wrong? Did all that talk mean nothing? Where's your courage now?" Hei Yin Tian's voice boomed through the chaos.
At those words, Mo Yu halted abruptly.
His black eyes burned brighter, violet threads crackling within them. His fists clenched tight, veins bulging as golden runes danced along his arms, wrapping upward like serpents.
The power boiling in his body reached its critical point.
In the distance, Hei Yin Tian surged forward again, his body like a thunderbolt, black fists roaring with annihilating might.
The two powers collided.
And this time—
Mo Yu didn't hold back.
The volcano of power inside him erupted.
Heaven-Shaking Divine Arm met the Black Tiger's Fist in a cataclysmic explosion.
The sky twisted, the earth cracked—
And the world trembled as though it were ending.
