Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 172: Shadow Flash, The Power of Silver Eyes

The Little Beast King and his two companions stood tall, their powerful Dou Qi filling the space around them, causing even the air to tremble slightly.

Feeling the immense power that resonated between his Dou Qi and the surrounding world, an overwhelming sense of confidence surged in the Little Beast King's heart, quickly suppressing any doubts he had about Mo Yu's unusual abilities.

"Hmph, Mo Yu, today I'll show you that Mulan Valley's dignity is not something you can insult. I'll personally make you pay in blood for the shame you caused me!" The Little Beast King's eyes flashed with bloodlust as he coldly declared.

Mo Yu looked at the bloodthirsty Little Beast King with a calm gaze, shaking his head with a slight smile. "Don't boast too soon. With just the three of you, you won't be able to keep me here."

"Thunder Armor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu's hand seals suddenly changed, and he let out a low shout in his heart. As his shout echoed, the twenty lightning patterns on his right arm lit up again, with ten more joining them.

With the illumination of thirty lightning patterns, waves of violent energy instantly spread out, filling every corner of Mo Yu's body.

Mo Yu's true strength was that of a five-star Da Dou Shi, but thanks to the mysterious Thunder Armor and his Dou Qi, which was much stronger than that of ordinary Da Dou Shi, his combat power was on par with that of a seven or even eight-star Da Dou Shi.

Moreover, with various powerful combat techniques and the effects of the mysterious lightning, he could even face a peak nine-star Da Dou Shi head-on.

While the Three Beasts Desolate Technique was indeed a mid-tier Earth-level technique, the Little Beast King and his companions were too weak to fully unleash its power.

As a result, although the Little Beast King's aura seemed to have half a foot in the Dou Ling level after using the technique, it wasn't excessively strong.

Having just absorbed the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame, Mo Yu's combat power had greatly increased. Now was the perfect time to use the Little Beast King and his companions as practice.

Seeing Mo Yu's aura suddenly surge, the Little Beast King and his companions were initially surprised but quickly dismissed it with disdain. Was this all he had to rely on?

"Mo Yu, I admit you're strong, but if this is all you've got, then the three of us must tell you—today, you will fall here!" The Little Beast King sneered, his voice carrying a faint lion's roar.

Ignoring the Little Beast King's sneer, Mo Yu tightened his grip on his spear. The Divine Might Black Thunder Spear appeared in his hand, and with a casual swing, it sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

Suddenly, Mo Yu's spear halted, and Dou Qi surged from his feet. His figure instantly turned into a black streak, shooting forward like a swimming dragon!

"Nine-Flash Dragon, Swift Flash!"

Seeing Mo Yu's incredible speed, the Little Beast King and his companions were slightly taken aback before they all smirked coldly. The thin tiger-headed youth took a step forward, positioning himself to block Mo Yu's attack.

With bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the approaching Mo Yu, the tiger-headed youth's eyes flashed with a crimson light. A long spear appeared in his hands, which he suddenly grasped. Blood energy condensed on the spear, and he swung it toward Mo Yu with immense force.

The spear strike wasn't particularly tricky or vicious, but it was incredibly heavy. The force behind it was so overwhelming that even the surrounding air seemed to ripple.

As a Weapon Master, Mo Yu instantly recognized the quality of the spear—a fourth-tier weapon. Coupled with the strength of the tiger-headed youth, who had one foot in the Dou Ling level, this heavy strike could likely kill an eight or nine-star Da Dou Shi on the spot.

Despite this, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged. His Dou Qi roared through his veins like a flood, and the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear in his hands was quickly engulfed by the intense flames of the Vermillion Bird Flame.

With both hands gripping the spear, Mo Yu didn't dodge but instead fiercely clashed with the tiger-headed youth's blood-red spear.

Clang!

The moment their weapons collided, a loud metallic clash echoed through the air, ringing in the ears of everyone around. Some of the weaker onlookers felt a sharp pain in their eardrums.

On the street, where the two weapons met, powerful shockwaves rippled out like water, sending nearby stalls flying and leaving the area in chaos.

Both figures were forced back from the impact of their clash.

The powerful force from the tiger-headed youth's spear made Mo Yu's hands tingle slightly. The strength of his opponent was beyond his expectations, but he was sure the tiger-headed youth suffered more damage than he did.

After taking a few steps back, the tiger-headed youth steadied himself, glaring at the burn marks and numbness in his hands caused by the lightning. He growled in a low voice, "Flame lightning? What is this thing?"

The tiger-headed youth had heard Mu Qing mention the red flame lightning on Mo Yu's spear before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it. However, after clashing with it just now, he realized with a shock that the blood-red energy formed by the fusion of their three powers was being burned and shattered by the Vermillion Bird Flame.

With his experience, he knew that such a powerful energy that could even destroy their combined blood-red energy was no ordinary force. On the Dou Qi continent, there were legendary Heavenly Flames capable of such feats.

But the force in Mo Yu's hands wasn't just a Heavenly Flame; it was a terrifying blend of flame and lightning, rivaling the might of a Heavenly Flame.

Seeing the tiger-headed youth take a hit, the other two members of the trio also frowned slightly.

"Did this brat really steal the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame? Damn it!" The tall, bear-headed youth's eyes glinted with greed as he stared at the red flame lightning in Mo Yu's hands.

"Stop messing around. Let's attack together and kill him!" The Little Beast King's bloodthirsty gaze locked onto Mo Yu as he commanded his companions.

The other two nodded in agreement. The Little Beast King and the tiger-headed youth had already suffered because of their arrogance, and they couldn't be sure what other tricks Mo Yu had up his sleeve. It was better to finish this quickly.

With their minds made up, the three of them wasted no time. They moved simultaneously, their figures flashing as they surrounded Mo Yu in the blink of an eye, forming a triangular formation that trapped him.

Seeing their actions, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. He could clearly feel that all his escape routes had been sealed by the three of them.

In this formation, the only option left for him was to face their attacks head-on.

"Hmm, this Three Beasts Desolate Technique is indeed something," Mo Yu thought as he suddenly sensed a surge of killing intent behind him. Without hesitation, he swung his spear forcefully toward the source of the threat.

Bang!

The spear struck, revealing the bear-headed youth, who had just transformed his weapon into a massive black axe, wrapped in blood-red energy. As Mo Yu's spear came crashing down, the bear-headed youth swung his axe in response.

Despite the overwhelming force of the axe, Mo Yu remained unfazed. Activating his Thunder Armor, he channeled his formidable physical strength into his spear, launching a fearsome strike at the giant axe.

"Roaring Lion Strike!"

As the spear neared the bear-headed youth's axe, it suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of energy.

At the spear's tip, a roaring lion of energy materialized, slicing through the air with such force that it left faint trails in its wake. The sharp, tearing sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Boom!

The energy lion collided with the blood-red axe, and the bear-headed youth, unable to dodge in time, was struck directly by Mo Yu's attack.

The terrifying force exploded from the bear-headed youth's chest, leaving a noticeable dent and forcing him to stumble back several steps before he finally steadied himself with a violent shake of his shoulders.

After knocking back the bear-headed youth, Mo Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly. With his powerful soul energy, he noticed that the bear-headed youth's aura had significantly weakened after being hit.

As Mo Yu pondered this, another wave of pressure rushed toward him from behind. The attacker also seemed to be on the verge of reaching the Dou Ling level.

Despite his racing thoughts, Mo Yu's reaction was quick. He let out a low shout, and the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear swiftly blocked the incoming strike.

However, the hurried defense left Mo Yu with a muffled grunt in his throat, and he quickly darted away like a swimming dragon.

Seeing that his punch had landed, the Little Beast King sneered but didn't pursue. Instead, he stepped back.

As he did, Mo Yu noticed that the Little Beast King's aura dropped from the half-step Dou Ling level back to his original five-star Da Dou Shi level.

"So that's it!"

As Mo Yu observed the ever-changing aura of the three opponents, his battle-hardened instincts from his past life immediately detected the flaw in the Three Beasts Desolate Technique. Although this fusion technique could combine the strength of three individuals into one, the power it generated wasn't evenly distributed among them. Instead, it would shift to one person at a time during the fight.

Realizing this, a sly smile crept onto Mo Yu's lips. His feet began to move swiftly, resembling the agile movements of a dragon. As his speed increased, the onlookers could barely keep up with him, only seeing a blur passing by. Within moments, this blur seemed to split into two, then three...

"Shadow Flash: Illusionary Flicker!"

As Mo Yu's low voice resonated, his previously fast-moving body suddenly came to a halt. At that exact moment, under the stunned gazes of the Little Beast King and his two companions, two identical shadow clones of Mo Yu materialized beside him, each one an exact replica of the original in both appearance and demeanor.

It was as if three Mo Yus were standing there—an illusionary clone technique!

The Nine-Flashing Dragon technique was originally a triple flash technique, and its most difficult skill, the Illusionary Flicker, had finally been mastered by Mo Yu after he broke through to the five-star Da Dou Shi level.

As the two shadow clones appeared, they immediately took up different positions and shot towards the Little Beast King and his companions from three different directions!

Seeing the three identical Mo Yus closing in, the expressions of the Little Beast King and his companions turned grim.

When the spectators saw the sudden appearance of the two shadow clones, they erupted in astonished murmurs. With their limited knowledge, they had never witnessed such a strange and marvelous body technique.

Even Mu Qing's face darkened, as he couldn't distinguish which one was the real Mo Yu and which were the clones, despite his strong soul power. This naturally made it even harder for the Little Beast King and his companions.

Lan Yingying, too, watched Mo Yu with curiosity. The Little Beast King and his companions, after using the Three Beasts Desolate Technique, had power comparable to a Dou Ling, yet they still seemed to be at a disadvantage against Mo Yu. This made her realize just how incredibly talented he was.

"Perhaps, compared to refining tools, my little junior brother's talent in cultivation is even more extraordinary…" Lan Yingying thought to herself, shaking her head in amazement.

Throughout history, there have been very few individuals capable of excelling in both soul power and Dou Qi cultivation simultaneously. However, Mo Yu seemed to break this norm with ease.

"Be careful! If you identify the real one, channel your power immediately!"

In the battlefield, the Little Beast King gritted his teeth and shouted at his companions as the three Mo Yus rapidly closed in on them.

At this moment, he felt a twinge of regret for provoking such a monstrous talent like Mo Yu, but it was too late to back down now.

Hearing this, the two other youths nodded grimly. Their eyes, filled with determination, locked onto the rapidly approaching shadow clones, trying to detect any flaws or inconsistencies.

As the three Mo Yus approached, the Little Beast King stood still, his gaze fixed on the closest clone. In a brief moment, he felt an overwhelming force emanating from the clone, making his hair stand on end. His eyes flickered with hesitation—was this the real one? Or was it a trick to make him divert their combined power to himself?

This thought lasted only an instant, and then he saw the cold, sinister smile on the clone's face.

"It's the real one!"

The moment he recognized the lifelike expression on the clone's face, the Little Beast King's mind exploded with realization. Just as he prepared to channel the half-step Dou Ling power into himself, a sudden change occurred.

"Too late. Thunderbolt Flash!"

Sensing the Little Beast King's hesitation, Mo Yu's smile turned icy. As he spoke, his silver eyes flashed with an intense, overwhelming light.

In that instant, a terrifying surge of lightning energy burst forth from Mo Yu's silver eyes, seemingly bypassing space itself and directly penetrating the Little Beast King's gaze, causing a thunderous explosion in his mind!

The devastating power of the Thunderbolt Silver Eyes was fully unleashed!

As the lightning energy ravaged his mind, the Little Beast King felt as though his consciousness had been hit by hundreds of explosive charges. His once-calm soul realm was now a chaotic storm, filling him with excruciating pain and temporarily severing his control over his body.

Taking advantage of this moment, Mo Yu's smile turned cold, and he thrust his spear forward with lethal intent, aiming straight for the Little Beast King's heart.

Whether he was the successor of Mulan Valley or a young prince, Mo Yu had no reservations—he would kill him without hesitation.

To the onlookers, it appeared as though Mo Yu's silver eyes had suddenly flashed with lightning, causing the Little Beast King to freeze in place, as if in a trance. The sight was eerie and bizarre.

What shocked them even more was that Mo Yu seemed intent on delivering a killing blow to the Little Beast King. Did this mean he was prepared to wage an all-out war against Mulan Valley?

Just as Mo Yu was about to land the final blow, a sharp voice suddenly echoed from above. A middle-aged man, clad in black armor and exuding a formidable presence, appeared from the depths of the street. In the next instant, a massive saber, radiating a terrifying aura, flew towards Mo Yu, intercepting his attack.

"Mo Yu, stop!"
