Boom!
The shadow of the Sacrificial Demon Fist was now less than fifty feet away from the five figures, shrouding the entire sky in darkness.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The divine beast manifestations surrounding Mang Lie and the others finally reached their limit and were forcefully crushed into oblivion.
Pfft!
Blood spurted from the mouths of the three warriors as their auras instantly weakened.
"Damn it! I give up!" Ran Ben's face was pale as he felt the oppressive force nearly crushing his body. Gritting his teeth, he let out a furious roar. He knew that if he continued, death would be inevitable.
No matter how tempting the divine ability inheritance was, it was meaningless if he didn't survive to claim it.
Buzz!
The moment Ran Ben surrendered, a radiant glow surged around him, and his figure vanished immediately—ejected from the Body Refining Pagoda.
Following his decision, Mang Lie and Han Yue struggled internally before reluctantly making the same choice.
Buzz! Buzz!
Light flickered, and the figures of Mang Lie and Han Yue disappeared as well.
With their departure, only Mo Yu and Cai Lin remained on the battlefield. However, Cai Lin glanced at the collapsing nine-colored barrier and then at Mo Yu, who was still holding on. She frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"Mo Yu, I can only accompany you this far. From here on, it's up to you to fight for it yourself."
As her words fell, Cai Lin's body shimmered with light, and she too vanished.
With Cai Lin's exit, Mo Yu was the only one left. But at this moment, he was in dire straits, his entire body drenched in blood, making him look like a man bathed in crimson.
The overwhelming force of the incoming fist surrounded him from all directions, as if he were submerged in an abyssal trench, bearing an unfathomable pressure.
Yet, rather than despair, a resolute glint flickered in Mo Yu's bloodshot eyes. The danger he faced now was terrifying, but to him, it was also an opportunity—
The perfect opportunity to break through to Seventh-Grade Supreme!
Every breakthrough required the pressure of imminent death!
And right now, there could be no better moment!
"Right here—I'll break through in one go!"
As his voice fell, Mo Yu's aura erupted like a volcanic explosion, surging at an astonishing rate. Simultaneously, his Supreme Sea churned violently, its energy frantically expanding toward the realm of Seventh-Grade Supreme!
Previously, his original self had force-fed him millions of drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid to accelerate his cultivation. However, since Mo Yu's foundation had been weaker at the time, a large portion of the energy had remained unrefined, accumulating within his blood and meridians.
Now, after enduring countless battles in the Divine Beast Origin and the grueling trials of the Body Refining Pagoda, combined with the crushing might of the Sacrificial Demon Fist, Mo Yu had reached the perfect moment to refine the dormant energy within him and achieve his breakthrough.
Already at the peak of Sixth-Grade Supreme, his determination to break through ignited his aura like a flood bursting through a dam—unstoppable and overwhelming!
Just as the devastating fist was about to descend, a brilliant light flashed in Mo Yu's eyes, and at that precise moment—
His aura surged explosively, doubling in strength!
It was clear—Mo Yu had successfully ascended to Seventh-Grade Supreme!
"Sacrificial Demon Fist... self-sacrificing... to obtain its inheritance, one must possess the courage to abandon their body and life."
There was no time to celebrate his breakthrough. As the colossal blood-red fist came crashing down, Mo Yu merely raised his head, gazing at it with an unshaken expression. His face was calm, his emotions unperturbed.
Boom!
The fist finally struck Mo Yu's body. The ground shattered, and a terrifying shockwave tore through the surroundings. The entire world trembled in devastation…
And that was the last thing everyone outside the Body Refining Pagoda saw before the projection of the battlefield violently trembled and shattered. The image disappeared completely.
—
Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, a heavy silence fell over the area.
Cai Lin's beautiful eyes remained fixed on the fading projection. Her lips tightened slightly. Even though they were no longer inside the tower, the destructive power of that fist was still palpable.
However, Cai Lin knew Mo Yu too well. She was certain—Mo Yu would never disappoint.
The surrounding experts from various clans, however, reacted differently. Some sighed in regret, while others sneered in schadenfreude. Countless gazes turned toward the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan's location.
Even Ran Qing of the Red Python Clan was momentarily stunned by what had happened. But as realization dawned, a malicious gleam flickered in his eyes. Regardless of how impressive Mo Yu had been earlier, this last foolish decision had ruined everything.
Dead men left no legacies.
No matter how dazzling one's past achievements were, if they were dead, it was meaningless.
Ran Ben, who had struggled against Mo Yu multiple times, found it hard to believe. That irritating guy… was actually dead?
But once the shock faded, an uncontrollable surge of delight filled him. Grinning wickedly, he sneered, "What a fool who didn't know his limits!"
However, just as those words left his mouth, an icy, blade-like gaze locked onto him.
Looking up, he met the frost-chilled eyes of Cai Lin. Her delicate face was cold and unyielding.
"Say one more word, and you'll pay for it with your life."
Ran Ben's expression darkened instantly. Though his rage flared, he hesitated upon recalling Cai Lin's overwhelming strength within the tower.
"Tch, it looks like your Heaven Swallowing Python Clan has made quite a few enemies… Since that's the case, our Thunder Serpent Clan should settle our own scores with you as well."
Just as tensions were rising between Cai Lin and the Red Python Clan, a sneering voice cut in. Zhu Gang, who had been recuperating from his injuries nearby, stood up with a grim expression, his gaze locked onto Cai Lin.
Being forcefully thrown out of the Body Refining Pagoda by Mo Yu had been a huge humiliation. Now that Mo Yu was dead, he had every intention of venting his frustration on the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan.
Cai Lin's expression turned colder as the Thunder Serpent Clan intervened.
Mang Lie and Mang Yu stepped to her side, their bodies radiating powerful auras, clearly ready for battle at any moment.
"You clowns sure know when to jump out," Cai Lin sneered, her cold gaze sweeping over Zhu Gang and Ran Ben.
Ran Ben merely chuckled, shaking his head. "The strong rule the weak. Say whatever you like, but today marks the end of your Heaven Swallowing Python Clan."
"Is that so?"
However, just as Ran Ben's words fell, a calm voice suddenly echoed through the battlefield.
Upon hearing this nightmarish voice, Ran Ben's expression immediately changed. Suddenly, a surge of light swept out from within the Body Refining Pagoda. As the light faded, a tall and slender young figure stood quietly on the stone platform outside the tower.
His pitch-black, cold eyes slowly locked onto Ran Ben, and the corners of his lips lifted into a chilling arc.
Who else could it be but Mo Yu?
The moment he reappeared so abruptly, all the powerful figures present had their expressions change dramatically. Each of them looked as if they had seen a ghost, utterly incredulous.
They had never even considered the possibility that Mo Yu could walk out of the Body Refining Pagoda alive.
"You... you're still alive?!" Even Ran Ben, with his steady composure, had his eyes widen abruptly. He stared at Mo Yu in sheer disbelief, his words faltering as he spoke, fully revealing the shock in his heart.
"Thanks to you, everything is just fine," Mo Yu said with a cold smile.
Ran Ben's expression fluctuated unpredictably.
Not far from him, the experts of the Thunder Serpent Clan, who had originally planned to strike while the iron was hot, froze in place. The sinister expression on Zhu Gang's face also stiffened, his face turning alternately pale and blue.
He had originally intended to join forces with the Red Python Clan to retaliate while the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan was at its weakest. But to his horror, Mo Yu had suddenly appeared again, like a specter that refused to be exorcised.
As Zhu Gang's expression shifted rapidly, Mo Yu's razor-sharp gaze swept over him once more. His voice was calm but carried a biting chill.
"I spared your life before, yet you still dare to show up?"
With that, Mo Yu's gaze shifted back to Ran Ben as he spoke indifferently.
"I'm short on time, so let's make this simple. I'll give you two a chance—come at me together. If you can defeat me, this matter will end here."
"Hah, what an arrogant boast."
Ran Ben finally recovered from his shock. However, upon hearing Mo Yu's words, he was first stunned, then laughed in anger. Mo Yu actually thought so little of them that he was offering them a two-on-one fight.
Right now, Mo Yu had earned some recognition, but he was still far from being able to suppress both him and Zhu Gang with ease!
As Ran Ben's words fell, he and Zhu Gang exchanged a glance before stepping forward together. Powerful spiritual energy surged from their bodies as their gazes locked onto Mo Yu with ruthless intent.
Around the Body Refining Pagoda, the other powerful figures from various clans watched with strange expressions.
One man taking on both Ran Ben and Zhu Gang?
Was Mo Yu being too confident?
After all, both Zhu Gang and Ran Ben were top-tier experts among the Seventh Grade Supremes. Either one alone possessed formidable combat prowess—let alone the two of them working together.
"Are you ready to face your end?"
Mo Yu remained unfazed by the countless eyes upon him. His gaze grew even colder as it fixed on Ran Ben and Zhu Gang. A faint yet chilling smile surfaced on his face.
Upon hearing this, Ran Ben and Zhu Gang both revealed a look of disdain. They exchanged another glance, their eyes gleaming with killing intent.
"Attack!"
Zhu Gang roared like thunder, his eyes flashing with lightning. He clasped his hands together, swiftly forming a series of seals amidst the crackling arcs of lightning.
As his seals took shape, dazzling streaks of lightning spiritual energy erupted from his body, rapidly converging into countless lightning runes that floated before him.
Each of these lightning runes contained an unimaginably terrifying amount of spiritual energy, the result of Zhu Gang refining his spiritual power to its absolute peak.
The runes floated in front of Zhu Gang, swiftly merging together. In an instant, boundless lightning erupted like a tidal wave. Within the surge of lightning, a colossal thunder serpent, nearly a thousand meters long, rapidly took form.
The thunder serpent hovered in midair. The moment it appeared, lightning across the heavens and earth began to surge toward it, as if drawn by an irresistible force. A suffocating pressure spread across the land.
The other geniuses around them, sensing this fearsome fluctuation, couldn't help but tense up. Some even murmured in low voices,
"That's the World-Destroying Thunder Serpent! A perfected divine technique… Zhu Gang isn't holding back."
As they exclaimed in shock, Ran Ben also let out a low shout. In the next moment, a massive crimson python, nearly a thousand meters long, materialized above him. The searing heat it radiated was even stronger than the World-Destroying Thunder Serpent by several degrees.
"That's the perfected divine technique Scorching Python Annihilation! Two perfected divine techniques… Mo Yu is definitely being reckless this time…"
Witnessing this, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but look at Mo Yu with a hint of pity.
Combining the strongest attacks of Zhu Gang and Ran Ben—such power would even make an Eighth Grade Supreme wary, let alone Mo Yu.
Boom!
High in the sky, Zhu Gang and Ran Ben shot a vicious glare at Mo Yu. The immense power gathered in their hands reached its peak. Without hesitation, they simultaneously thrust their palms downward.
"World-Destroying Thunder Serpent!"
"Scorching Python Annihilation!"
Boom!
As their palms struck, the thunder serpent and the fire python erupted with earth-shattering roars. The sky was drowned in lightning and flames, their sheer force blotting out all light.
The thunder serpent transformed into a massive torrent of lightning, shattering space as it lunged toward Mo Yu like a streak of divine punishment.
At the same time, the blazing fire python followed close behind. Fire and lightning merged together, their momentum growing even more overwhelming—like the very apocalypse itself!
The other geniuses, who had already begun retreating, immediately accelerated their withdrawal. They clearly understood the terrifying might of this combined assault and wanted no part in its aftermath.
As the colossal thunder serpent and fire python descended, they cast a shadow of annihilation over the land. At the very center of that shadow was Mo Yu's seemingly insignificant figure.
Countless eyes were fixed on him.
Mo Yu lifted his gaze, staring up at the approaching attacks. His eyes seemed to briefly close before his arms radiated with a dazzling purple-gold glow.
Then, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, he threw out a single punch.
A fist strike—nothing more.
There was no overwhelming burst of spiritual energy, only the flickering glow of purple-gold light. Faintly, the sound of an ancient ape's howl resonated through the air.
Then, before everyone's eyes, space before Mo Yu shattered, pitch-black cracks spreading outward as if the world itself was crumbling under the sheer force of his punch.
Boom!
His purple-gold fist struck the thunder serpent and fire python head-on.
A deafening explosion shook the heavens.
In the next instant, to the absolute horror of Ran Ben and Zhu Gang, their colossal beasts—formed from perfected divine techniques—shattered into nothingness.
Lightning scattered, flames extinguished.
The two perfected divine techniques, revered as peerless killing moves, were torn apart as effortlessly as tofu beneath Mo Yu's tyrannical strike.
At the same moment, Mo Yu's figure flickered like a specter.
Before anyone could react, he appeared right before Ran Ben and Zhu Gang.
His purple-gold fists, surging with devastating power, slammed into their chests like crashing thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a monstrous impact, their bodies were sent hurtling backward.
Countless ruins along their path were obliterated as they crashed through, carving a trench hundreds of meters long across the battlefield.
The surroundings fell into utter silence.
The area around the Body Refining Pagoda became a realm of deathly stillness.
