Chapter 332: Breaking Thunder Style, Final Strike
As the overwhelming aura of a Dou Huang expert suddenly erupted from Mo Yu, both the members of the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley were left dumbfounded. Even many in Yuan Manor hadn't expected this turn of events.
Numerous gazes fixed on Mo Yu, their eyes filled with a mix of complex emotions.
"He... the boss... he broke through to Dou Huang!?" Lin Yan exclaimed, his face a mix of shock and excitement.
While they had always known that Mo Yu was a rare genius, even back at Jia Nan Academy when he showcased his extraordinary talent, none of them could have imagined that his growth would be this terrifying. In less than two years since graduating, he had broken through to the Dou Huang level!
Although Dou Wang and Dou Huang were only one level apart, the difference between them was like night and day.
In the Black-Corner Region, a Dou Wang was strong, but they could only barely maintain their position. Only a Dou Huang could be considered truly dominant, able to rule their own domain.
Among the top ten experts of the Black List, all of them were Dou Huang experts!
Although Mo Yu, as the leader of Yuan Manor, had already earned quite a reputation in the Black-Corner Region, much of that was due to his Dou Zong-level puppet and his ability to temporarily unleash Dou Zong-level power. His personal strength had not been highly regarded, with some even criticizing him for relying on external forces.
But now, having broken through to the Dou Huang level, Mo Yu's true strength was enough to silence all doubts and intimidate any who dared challenge him!
Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya, watching from the side, also nodded with a tinge of bitterness.
Back in the day, they were among the top three of the Inner Academy's strong ranking, second only to the monster Zi Yan. They had never looked up to anyone else.
But Mo Yu's appearance not only surpassed them, it widened the gap between them rapidly.
Even these prodigies, who had been considered geniuses their whole lives, had to admit that Mo Yu was a true prodigy among prodigies.
However, they were not the type to be easily discouraged. Realizing the gap between them, they quickly turned their sense of loss into motivation, setting Mo Yu as their goal and striving to catch up.
While the people of Yuan Manor were overjoyed, the members of Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley were shrouded in gloom.
A twenty-year-old Dou Huang. Such terrifying talent was unheard of in the Black-Corner Region!
Even Mo Ya, the youngest Dou Huang in the Black-Corner Region, had broken through to Dou Huang two years later than Mo Yu.
Adding in Mo Yu's various mysterious methods, even the cunning old fox, Mo Tianxing, began to regret provoking such a powerful enemy.
With this thought in mind, Mo Tianxing's gaze shifted to his son, Mo Ya.
His only hope now was that Mo Ya could take this opportunity to kill Mo Yu. From what he could sense, Mo Yu had just broken through to the first star of Dou Huang. Although his aura was far stronger than that of an ordinary first-star Dou Huang, Mo Ya, as a six-star Dou Huang, still had a chance.
As if sensing the same thing, Mo Ya's eyes flashed with intense killing intent as he looked at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu's display of talent had shaken Mo Ya deeply, even making him, someone who had always been proud, feel a sense of defeat.
With that thought, Mo Ya no longer hesitated. His deep blue Dou Qi formed into a sharp water spear, which he thrust toward Mo Yu with terrifying power.
"Hmph, so what if you've broken through to Dou Huang? I'm a six-star Dou Huang!" Mo Ya sneered as he attacked.
Hearing this, Mo Yu merely chuckled in disdain. In his hand, the Divine Thunder Black Spear appeared, and an immense silver lightning Dou Qi surged from his body, pouring into the spear without end.
In the sky, the two figures collided like meteors under countless gazes, sending out waves of Dou Qi that rippled across the sky.
Hiss!
As the blue water spear neared Mo Yu, a thick mist suddenly spread out, obscuring the battlefield. The mist also blocked any attempts to detect the area with spiritual perception.
Mo Yu paused for a moment, surprised by Mo Ya's tactics. He had to admit that, after years of being a Dou Huang, Mo Ya had some impressive tricks.
However, Mo Yu's face remained calm despite the mist that interfered with spiritual detection.
In the next moment, Mo Yu's Thunder Extreme Silver Eyes flashed. He seemed to have spotted something, and a smile crept across his face. As the water spear closed in, just half a foot away from his head, Mo Yu casually stepped to the left.
"What!?"
Mo Ya was stunned when he saw how easily Mo Yu had evaded his Mist Technique. Before he could react, a sense of danger washed over him.
Mo Yu's spear sliced through the air like a black bolt of lightning, carrying such overwhelming power that it caused the surrounding space to ripple. The spear shot toward Mo Ya with deadly force, the sound of its passing like thunder rumbling through the sky.
Sensing the lethal danger, Mo Ya hurriedly raised his water spear to block.
The black spear clashed violently with the water spear, producing a deafening explosion. However, under Mo Yu's sudden attack, Mo Ya's water spear began to weaken. Moments later, it disintegrated into a puddle of water.
With his weapon destroyed, Mo Ya's momentum stalled for a split second. Seizing the opportunity, Mo Yu's left hand transformed into a palm strike, whipping forward like a sharp wind toward Mo Ya's chest.
Though caught off guard, Mo Ya reacted quickly, pulling his left hand free and clenching his fist. Gathering his Dou Qi, he threw a punch toward Mo Yu's incoming palm.
Boom!
The fist and palm collided with a thunderous sound, sending shockwaves rippling through the space around them.
Step! Step!
Mo Ya's body trembled as he stumbled backward several steps, his Dou Qi wings beating furiously to help him regain balance. After dispelling the force of the impact, he raised his head, his face grim. Just as he was about to speak, his expression changed dramatically.
He suddenly realized that during the clash with Mo Yu, a portion of his Dou Qi had mysteriously vanished. This had never happened to him before.
"It was you!" Mo Ya snarled, gritting his teeth as he glared at Mo Yu.
Sensing the return of the absorbed Dou Qi from the Devouring Origin True Thunder, Mo Yu smiled without saying a word.
Indeed, during the exchange, Mo Yu had used his Devouring Origin True Thunder to siphon off a portion of Mo Ya's Dou Qi. After all, this thunder's ability was to absorb energy from opponents, allowing Mo Yu to grow stronger as the battle progressed.
Even if Mo Ya had greater Dou Qi reserves, with the Devouring Origin True Thunder, Mo Yu didn't have to worry about running out of Dou Qi first. And in reality, Mo Yu's Dou Qi reserves weren't inferior to Mo Ya's, making a prolonged battle very advantageous for him.
Seeing Mo Yu's expression, Mo Ya confirmed his suspicions, and his face darkened.
He had originally planned to exhaust Mo Yu's Dou Qi, believing that even if Mo Yu had broken through to Dou Huang, he was only a first-star Dou Huang. Mo Ya thought he could rely on his massive six-star Dou Huang reserves to outlast Mo Yu.
But during the battle, Mo Ya had realized that not only did Mo Yu have more energy than expected, he also possessed a technique that could absorb his Dou Qi. If the battle continued this way, it was likely Mo Ya, not Mo Yu, who would be the one to fall.
Realizing this, Mo Ya took a deep breath, his calm and composed demeanor vanishing. His face now reflected nothing but intense seriousness and coldness.
"Master Mo, I'm going to use my most powerful move now!" Mo Ya's eyes gleamed with cold light as he shouted. The deep blue Dou Qi wings on his back expanded by several feet, making his aura even more imposing.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow, a playful glint appearing in his silver eyes as he looked at Mo Ya with amusement.
"Well, let's see if your ultimate move is as impressive as you claim."
Mo Yu's casual response made Mo Ya's face twitch with anger, a flame of fury rising in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to tear Mo Yu apart.
Mo Yu's light, mocking tone felt like a splash of cold water on burning oil, igniting Mo Ya's rage. In an instant, a vast surge of deep blue Dou Qi erupted from Mo Ya's body, engulfing the battlefield like a tidal wave.
Mo Ya's hands shot out, and with lightning speed, he formed a series of strange hand seals. The deep blue Dou Qi swirled and condensed, finally forming a massive spear, even larger than the previous one, entirely blue, like a spear forged from the depths of the ocean. The power it radiated was terrifying.
With the sea spear solidified, Mo Ya grabbed hold of it with his right hand, his lips curling into a sharp smile that revealed his teeth.
Raising the thick, sharp sea spear high above his head, Mo Ya shifted into a half-throwing stance. The blue Dou Qi around him, as if attracted by some force, continuously poured into the spear.
The more Dou Qi he channeled into it, the deeper the blue of the spear became. After a few moments, it looked like a spear condensed from the very essence of the ocean, its overwhelming aura growing stronger and stronger.
At the tip of the sea spear, blue arcs of light danced, emitting a fearsome gleam. The sharp point of the spear seemed capable of piercing through any defense, carrying with it the power of the ocean's depths.
"This is... an Earth-level Dou Technique."
Seeing the sea spear forming, Mo Yu muttered under his breath.
He could clearly sense that this attack was Mo Ya's full strength, powerful enough to shatter a mountain. Such force could only be achieved by an Earth-level Dou Technique or higher.
Mo Yu wasn't surprised that Mo Ya had mastered an Earth-level Dou Technique. At Mo Ya's level, learning an Earth-level Dou Technique wasn't difficult. In the Black-Corner Region, such techniques weren't as rare as in other places like the Jia Ma Empire.
However, Mo Yu remained unphased.
One of the reasons Mo Yu could challenge opponents of higher levels was because he had mastered higher-level Dou Techniques than most of his peers.
So, for this situation, Mo Yu was fully prepared.
With a slight smile, Mo Yu swiftly withdrew his black thunder spear and formed a strange hand seal with his right hand. Immediately, immense Dou Qi surged from his body, pouring into the hand seal in a seemingly endless stream.
In the sky, the space between Mo Yu and Mo Ya, barely 100 meters apart, became eerily still. Yet, everyone knew that beneath this silence, a terrifying collision was brewing.
And this storm would erupt at any moment!
Under countless shocked gazes, the sea spear in Mo Ya's hand finally stopped absorbing Dou Qi. At that moment, the spear twisted slightly, causing the space around it to ripple. The energy contained within it had reached a terrifying limit.
Gripping the spear tightly, Mo Ya's face turned pale from the effort. His bloodshot eyes locked onto Mo Yu, and he sneered, "Master Mo, this is the end!"
With a cold laugh, Mo Ya wasted no time. His arm trembled, and the spear, containing all his power, shot forward.
"Ocean's Limitless Depths!"
As the sea spear flew through the air, everyone below felt an overwhelming force, as if they were being submerged by the ocean's might. Despite the scorching sun above, a deep chill washed over them, making them feel as though they were sinking into the abyss.
The once-clear sky became shrouded in mist, the world around them growing cold and damp.
"It's the Ocean's Limitless Depths!"
"As expected of the sect's strongest prodigy in decades. Even Earth-level Dou Techniques are within his grasp."
"Haha, now that the young master has used an Earth-level Dou Technique, the victory is certain. After all, even though that Yuan Manor leader is also a Dou Huang, he's only a first-star Dou Huang. The young master's Ocean's Limitless Depths could seriously wound even a seven or eight-star Dou Huang."
As the exclamations spread through the Black Emperor Sect, the blue sea spear seemed to teleport through space, crossing the distance in the blink of an eye. In an instant, it appeared before Mo Yu, carrying the full force of the ocean's power.
Breathing in the misty air, Mo Yu's hand seals shifted, and dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky. Within the clouds, countless bolts of lightning danced, crackling with energy.
The rolling thunder captured the energy of the heavens, condensing it into a massive mark that formed in Mo Yu's palm.
Outside the battlefield, the faces of the Black Emperor Sect and Demon Flame Valley members shifted as they saw the dark clouds covering the sky. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
They had originally assumed that Mo Ya's use of an Earth-level Dou Technique would guarantee his victory. But now, seeing the power Mo Yu was gathering, they realized that his technique might actually be even stronger!
"Thunder Emperor's Canon: Breaking Thunder Style!"
As Mo Yu's cold shout rang out, a massive silver-white energy mark shot from his palm, tearing through the space around it. The space itself seemed to shatter like glass, unable to withstand the force.
Under countless eyes filled with awe, the silver-white mark collided with the deep blue sea spear like a meteor crashing to earth.
At that moment, the true final strike had begun!
