Chapter 725: Strengthened Right Arm, Wind Emperor's Hidden Trove
Tianluo Continent.
As one of the supercontinents renowned across the Great Thousand World, this land's vastness and prosperity far exceeded that of ordinary continents.
Northern Domain.
The northern region of the Tianluo Continent teemed with powerhouses and factions. Even the Blood God Clan, placed here, would scarcely qualify as a true top-tier force—and this was merely the continent's northern expanse.
In a secluded spot within a northern forest, Mo Yu concealed himself.
Within the Supreme Sea.
Mo Yu's divine soul looked up, beholding a thousand-zhang colossal shadow standing in the sky. This shadow was none other than the Heavenly Tyrant Body.
Terrifying thunder suffused every corner of its massive frame. From afar, it resembled a thunder warrior—oppressive and fearsome. An intangible pressure enveloped the area, dreadfully potent.
"The Heavenly Tyrant Body's second form, though unranked among the Great Thousand World's ninety-nine Supreme Dharma Bodies, rivals those in the top thirty. I wonder if it can be further strengthened to match the top five original bodies..."
At this thought, heat flickered in Mo Yu's eyes. In the Great Thousand World, the ninety-nine ranks did not signify exactly ninety-nine Dharma Bodies.
From various rankings, each tier could encompass multiple Dharma Bodies of equal grade. The lower the rank, the more common this multiplicity; the higher, the rarer—until the top five original bodies, where each rank held but one.
Moreover, these five original bodies bore no hierarchy, merely differing abilities.
If Mo Yu could evolve the Heavenly Tyrant Body to rival those five originals, even facing Blood Spirit Child again would allow effortless crushing, without expending much effort.
But first, Mo Yu needed to conduct an experiment. After all, he had never cultivated the Heavenly Tyrant Body in his previous life; everything required starting from scratch.
"Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, consume!"
A low murmur rose in Mo Yu's heart.
In the cave, the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow floating before him trembled violently, transforming into a brilliant beam that shot straight into his slightly parted mouth.
Boom!
The skies above the Supreme Sea seemed torn asunder. A dazzling light descended like thunder from the heavens.
Within the light gleamed a drop of silvery-white thunder slurry, its interior churning with an endless thunder sea.
Mo Yu's divine soul extended a finger, pointing from afar.
"Heavenly Thunder Forging."
Under his command, the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow plummeted straight down, landing at the Heavenly Tyrant Body's crown before sliding gradually along it.
Upon entering the Heavenly Tyrant Body, the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow split abruptly. Thunder slurry spread out, suspending at key points: the head, heart, limbs, and more.
Sizzle.
As the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow dispersed, it surged to life. Fearsome thunder currents emanated, and the vast spiritual power within the Heavenly Tyrant Body began depleting at an astonishing rate.
The Heavenly Tyrant Body's colossal form grew ever more radiant. An intangible thunder might, like an awakening lion, gradually unleashed. Under the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow's tempering, the Heavenly Tyrant Body subtly transformed.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's brows lifted. The Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow's reputation held true—immensely beneficial for certain special Dharma Bodies.
"It seems... it's still short on energy..."
The murmur ended. In the cave, Mo Yu's closed eyes snapped open. He flicked a finger, and the Sumeru Bracelet on his wrist trembled. A torrent then gushed forth.
As it emerged, dense mist filled the cave—spiritual energy incarnate. The torrent resembled an ocean, entirely condensed from Supreme Spirit Liquids.
This ocean held at least a million drops of Supreme Spirit Liquids!
A staggering number, yet to Mo Yu with his hundred million fortune, it was negligible.
To test the Heavenly Tyrant Body's potential for further evolution, the cost of a million drops was worthwhile!
The spiritual ocean of Supreme Spirit Liquids, upon manifesting, was inhaled wholly by Mo Yu. His body shuddered fiercely.
Such immense spiritual power, like Kuafu drinking rivers, poured into the Supreme Sea, surging into the tempering Heavenly Tyrant Body.
Rumble rumble!
Cracks spiderwebbed across the Supreme Sea's skies as spiritual torrents cascaded down, flooding into the Heavenly Tyrant Body.
Sizzle!
With this vast influx, the Heavenly Tyrant Body's tempering accelerated like an engine at full throttle.
The Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow ceaselessly absorbed the spiritual power, but with each absorption came surges of silver currents. These currents hissed softly before being absorbed by the colossal Heavenly Tyrant Body.
Thus, upon the silver-gleaming Heavenly Tyrant Body's frame, fine golden lines began emerging.
Under the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow's forging, spiritual power depleted at a terrifying pace. In half a day, the spiritual stream from a million drops burned away entirely.
The stream's effect deepened the Heavenly Tyrant Body's thunder might, with the fine golden lines multiplying.
Mo Yu's divine soul shifted seals.
The sky cracked anew, fissures opening as more spiritual torrents poured down—he had deployed another prepared batch of Supreme Spirit Liquids.
The Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow acted like an engine, absorbing the Supreme Spirit Liquids' power and tempering the Heavenly Tyrant Body relentlessly, fueled to the brim.
The spiritual consumption rate for forging the Heavenly Tyrant Body even startled Mo Yu. Without the billion Supreme Spirit Liquids robbed from Blood Spirit Child, he might have abandoned the idea for lack of resources.
After all, even Earth Supremes couldn't casually expend millions or tens of millions for experiments.
Mo Yu exhaled inwardly, then focused. Next, he needed only to continuously temper the Heavenly Tyrant Body with Supreme Spirit Liquids and Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow.
This tempering lasted nearly five days in an instant.
Over these days, the spiritual infusion scarcely paused. By now, twenty million drops of Supreme Spirit Liquids had been utterly exhausted.
Even after the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow dissipated, Mo Yu's composure cracked with surprise.
He knew if others learned he had spent twenty million drops testing Supreme Dharma Body strengthening, they would be dumbfounded.
Yet these twenty million drops yielded immense results.
Within the Supreme Sea.
Mo Yu's divine soul looked up, seeing the thousand-zhang thunder shadow in the sky—no longer fully silver, but partially golden.
The golden portion was the Heavenly Tyrant Body's right arm.
Golden thunder suffused every corner of its massive right arm. From afar, it resembled a golden thunder right hand—oppressive and mysterious. Intangible thunder might enveloped, dreadfully potent, as if a single arm could suppress heavens and earth, extinguishing all life.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the Heavenly Tyrant Body slowly opened its eyes, filled with boundless majesty. Golden thunder gleamed as it clenched its golden right fist. Space shattered like glass in that instant, an indescribable terrifying power rippling through limbs and bones, stirring an urge to roar skyward.
In this moment, shock surfaced on Mo Yu's face.
He felt the Heavenly Tyrant Body before him had strengthened by more than threefold—a far more violent, fearsome power. If he had wielded this golden thunder right hand against Blood Spirit Child that day, suppression would have come with a mere lift.
"This... is the strengthened Heavenly Tyrant Body..."
Gazing at the golden right arm, forged like molten golden thunder, Mo Yu murmured.
The original Heavenly Tyrant Body was a full silver giant. But under the Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow and twenty million Supreme Spirit Liquids' tempering, its entire right arm had upgraded to a mysterious, majestic golden thunder hue, with power evidently greatly enhanced.
This proved Mo Yu's hypothesis correct: the Heavenly Tyrant Body's limits could still be broken, with potential for further strengthening, even evolution.
"A fully evolved Heavenly Tyrant Body should be entirely golden thunder, I wonder... whether it could then rival those five original bodies..." Mo Yu murmured joyfully.
But after the joy, annoyance creased his brow.
He vaguely sensed the next strengthening would demand far greater cost—not just materials rarer than Heavenly Thunder Jade Marrow, but Supreme Spirit Liquids in the billions.
Moreover, such strengthening wasn't once-only; each subsequent round would require over tenfold the previous resources.
This prospect even daunted Mo Yu. Without the prior billion from the Blood God Clan, he might not have dared this test. Sustaining increasingly exorbitant rounds would require endless Supreme Spirit Liquids.
Later on, even tens of billions might not suffice for the Heavenly Tyrant Body's strengthening.
At this, Mo Yu smiled wryly. Truly, attaining a Supreme Dharma Body rivaling the five originals was no easy feat.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu glanced once more at the Heavenly Tyrant Body in the Supreme Sea. With a thought, his divine soul departed, returning to his fleshly body.
"From your aura, the Heavenly Tyrant Body's strengthening seems to have gone well?" As Mo Yu returned, the Wind Emperor's voice slowly sounded.
Mo Yu nodded with a smile. "It exceeded my expectations somewhat. The current Heavenly Tyrant Body isn't its limit."
"Oh, it truly can be strengthened."
Surprise thickened the Wind Emperor's tone. He had never heard of an evolvable Supreme Dharma Body.
Though Mo Yu's Heavenly Tyrant Body wasn't among the ninety-nine Supreme ranks, its power in battling the Blood God Clan and slaying the Desire King rivaled the top thirty super bodies.
Such a mighty Heavenly Tyrant Body could still strengthen—its enhanced might was unimaginable.
"Hehe, this only strengthened a portion. Full strengthening won't happen overnight." Thinking of twenty million drops for just the right arm, Mo Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
With those words, Mo Yu exited the cave of several days' seclusion, then leaped away, leaving the ancient forest.
Mo Yu's destination was the Blood Rock Realm, near the Northern Domain's center—and also where the Wind Emperor's corpse had fallen and been buried.
When the Wind Emperor perished, he had used a special secret art to preserve his body, while his divine soul and spirit returned to the Dou Qi Continent to evade enemies.
There, by chance, he encountered Mo Yu and aided his breakthrough to Dou Di. Now in the Great Thousand World, Mo Yu's first task was repaying that favor.
Having obtained the Vital Spirit Holy Fruit and Undying Corpse Saliva, it was time to resurrect the Wind Emperor and let him see the light of day again.
At this thought, Mo Yu hastened toward the Blood Rock Realm. En route, he suddenly sensed extremely powerful auras in the void, all heading to the same place as him.
His brows furrowed. So many powerhouses converging on the Blood Rock Realm—had something happened there?
With that in mind, Mo Yu casually stopped a passerby. The man, initially annoyed at being halted, quickly schooled his expression upon sensing Mo Yu's unfathomable aura.
"What's happened in the Blood Rock Realm lately? Why are so many experts rushing there simultaneously?" Mo Yu asked directly.
The passerby blinked in surprise, then said, "Sir doesn't know? A Earth Supreme hidden trove was recently discovered in the Blood Rock Realm. Many major factions are hurrying over, fearing others will claim it first."
"Earth Supreme hidden trove?" Mo Yu paused, then a foreboding premonition stirred as realization dawned.
Things couldn't be this coincidental, could they?
Shaking his head, Mo Yu looked at the man and continued, "Do you know which powerhouse's trove it is?"
The passerby paused at the barrage of questions, pondering briefly before answering respectfully, "It seems to be from a long-ago Earth Supreme called the Wind Emperor..."
Mo Yu froze. After a moment, a wry smile slowly curved his lips.
Things were indeed this coincidental...
