"Boom!"
The clash of bodies, flesh against flesh, and the collision of raw power!
In an instant, a thunderous roar echoed through the distant sky, like the earth and mountains collapsing.
At that moment, countless people, stunned by the immense sound, experienced a brief moment of deafness.
In the clear sky, a ripple of force erupted violently from the collision of the beast-like physique and the silver-glowing figure, sweeping across the heavens under the gaze of countless awestruck eyes!
The space at the point of impact twisted and contorted, deep wrinkles clearly visible.
In this all-out clash between Mo Yu and Gao Lie, even the space itself nearly shattered under the pressure.
The terrifying force was astonishing. The collision between these two Dou Wang experts was so intense that it seemed comparable to that of some Dou Huang.
The energy storm, infused with two overwhelming forces, stretched dozens of meters wide, like a giant standing between heaven and earth.
The storm came quickly and left just as fast. After ravaging a corner of the Inner Academy, the swirling force gradually weakened and finally dissipated entirely.
As the storm faded, the slightly overcast sky returned to its clarity, though it left a mess in its wake.
In the sky, many elders gazed down at the devastated Inner Academy with twitching lips.
If they continued fighting like this, the Inner Academy wouldn't even need the Heart Flame's eruption to be utterly destroyed by the intense battle.
"This kid, that lean body of his hides such terrifying power. It's truly unbelievable."
Compared to the elders' distress over the academy's ruin, the powerhouses from Black-Corner Region were filled with surprise as they looked at the silver-eyed youth in the sky.
None of them had expected Mo Yu to endure the powerful strike from Gao Lie without suffering any damage.
"That Dou Technique this young man used earlier was at least Di-Class, right? Otherwise, there's no way he could've fully resisted Gao Lie's Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art."
Recalling the terrifying strength of Mo Yu's physique, the crowd felt a moment of realization. They cast a subtle look of regard at the distant young man.
At their level, to truly injure or kill an opponent of similar strength, mere Xuan-Class Dou Techniques were no longer effective.
On the Dou Qi continent, only Dou Techniques at Di-Class and above could pose a real threat to Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts.
However, Di-Class Dou Techniques were rare treasures, created by predecessors with immense wisdom and opportunity. Across the continent, they were scarce.
For the usual second-tier factions in Black-Corner Region, possessing even one such technique was enough to consider it their ultimate trump card, especially Body-Strengthening Techniques, which were even rarer.
That Gao Lie could establish himself in Black-Corner Region with his Xuan-Class advanced Body-Strengthening Technique, Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art, demonstrated how rare these techniques were.
But the astonishing thing was that Mo Yu had just used a Di-Class Body-Strengthening Technique!
They had observed Mo Yu's aura as well—although he was also at the Dou Wang level, he was only around a five-star Dou Wang. Even though his Dou Qi was much stronger than others at his level, there was still a noticeable gap between him and Gao Lie.
However, the Di-Class Dou Technique helped bridge that gap.
It's worth noting that in the Dou Qi continent, some powerful fighters solely focused on cultivating Dou Qi, possessing formidable Dou Qi but lacking in usable Dou Techniques.
Their apparent strength was mostly a deterrent; in real combat, they could be countered by lower-ranked yet well-equipped opponents.
After all, what defines a fighter is their combat strength, which depends on three essential factors: level, cultivation method, and Dou Techniques.
Having all three makes crossing levels and defeating higher-ranked opponents possible, and Mo Yu was one of those people.
So, upon seeing a young man like Mo Yu master such a powerful Body-Strengthening Technique, many couldn't help but feel a mix of envy and jealousy.
In their hearts, Mo Yu's name became firmly etched.
A young Dou Wang expert with a powerful Di-Class Dou Technique, he was destined to carve a place for himself in Black-Corner Region if he stayed on this path.
High above, Gao Lie's once-ruthless face had grown pale, evidently showing the toll taken by using a powerful Dou Technique like Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art.
Even after unleashing such a technique, he had made little progress, and as he stared at the silver-eyed youth still standing strong before him, Gao Lie couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration.
"This brat is indeed strong. If I keep tangling with him, I might not gain much of an advantage," he murmured darkly.
"Although Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art is powerful, the blood essence of the fifth-rank magical beast, Black Armored Giant Rhino, is too overbearing, which imposes a heavy burden on my body."
"Still, this kid is too much of a threat. It seems that, in the future, I'll have to turn to Medicine Emperor to find an opportunity to eliminate him!"
In the sky, noticing the intensifying killing intent in Gao Lie's eyes, Mo Yu's silver gaze narrowed as a trace of his own killing intent emerged.
Following his principle of eradicating future threats, Mo Yu had no intention of being merciful to Gao Lie, who was now his mortal enemy.
Taking this chance to eliminate Gao Lie would not only make it easier to swallow the Barbarian Beast Sect in the future but also strengthen Yuan Manor's influence.
To gain support from Jia Nan Academy to dominate Black-Corner Region, Mo Yu had to prove his strength.
And what better way to showcase it than to defeat a renowned powerhouse from Black-Corner Region?
With that thought, Mo Yu acted without a moment's hesitation. A flick of his hand, and the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear emerged from his beast ring.
With the spear in hand, Mo Yu's presence gained a sharper edge beyond his sheer strength!
Silver light flashed at his feet, thunder crackled in the air, and in the blink of an eye, his form became a dark streak, darting toward Gao Lie!
Noticing Mo Yu's movement, Gao Lie, who had planned to retreat, quickly reacted, his Dou Qi wings fluttering as he tried to pull back.
"Trying to run?"
A cold voice resounded through the sky as Mo Yu's figure, like a phantom, suddenly appeared before Gao Lie.
Mo Yu's displayed speed made Gao Lie pale, but his reaction was swift; in the instant Mo Yu appeared, he threw a powerful punch at Mo Yu like a meteor.
Facing Gao Lie's fierce attack, Mo Yu did not retreat. His right hand, gripping the spear, blocked Gao Lie's strike, while his left hand clenched tightly and punched forward.
"Bang!"
The punch landed squarely on Gao Lie's chest, flames surged, dissipating much of the force. Yet, the residual energy still forced Gao Lie to stagger back.
After that successful strike, Mo Yu didn't pause. He closed in again, his arm moving like lightning, spear shadows flying, and each blow was as cold and sharp as a winter wind.
Under Mo Yu's relentless barrage of attacks, Gao Lie was forced into a defensive stance, barely able to evade. Occasionally, a lapse allowed Mo Yu's punches or spear strikes to land, further paling his face.
From a distance, countless Inner Academy students watched Mo Yu, awestruck by the youth's overwhelming strength as he dominated the pinnacle Dou Wang expert.
People are drawn to power.
And Mo Yu, a student of the Inner Academy, stood up to defend them during the academy's time of crisis, driving the powerful invader back. This was a cause for excitement.
A fervent gaze fell upon the battlefield, where a young figure fought unrestrainedly against a Dou Wang powerhouse, revered in Black-Corner Region, who now found himself on the back foot.
"Roaring Lion!"
In the sky, Mo Yu's silver eyes gleamed coldly as he confronted Gao Lie. His spear gathered immense power, and with a cold shout, it thrust fiercely into Gao Lie's already pale chest.
"Boom !!"
A thunderous blast echoed across the sky as the flames around Gao Lie's body finally extinguished. In that instant, Mo Yu's Divine Black Thunder Spear struck home, piercing deeply into Gao Lie's chest.
With a pained grunt, Gao Lie's face turned pale, then flushed as he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body hurtling down like a fallen meteor. He crashed into the rubble below, scattering debris everywhere.
The defeat of a powerful Dou Wang powerhouse stunned the onlookers into silence. For the Black-Corner Region, losing someone of Gao Lie's caliber was no small blow.
"Today, Gao Lie's death will serve to establish the name of Mo Yu!" Mo Yu's gaze turned ruthless, his heart surging with ambition. To dominate the Black-Corner Region required not only strength but also an intimidating reputation.
Gao Lie was more than just a leader of a second-tier faction. With his peak Dou Wang strength and formidable body cultivation, he was well-known in the region. Killing him would enhance Mo Yu's standing among the Academy and spread his renown throughout the Black-Corner Region.
Seizing the moment, Mo Yu's body turned into a streak of light, shooting towards Gao Lie's fallen location.
"Gao Lie, your death is upon you!"
His chilling voice echoed across the sky as he shot toward the rubble like a descending meteor. With a thunderous impact, the ground cracked and split around him, dust and stones erupting in a powerful ripple.
"Agh!" A desperate shout echoed, and Gao Lie, covered in blood, shot upwards, hovering hundreds of meters in the air. Now pale and battered, he looked nothing like his former dominant self.
"Mo Yu! Are you really going to kill me?" Gao Lie's voice was hoarse, carrying a wild, desperate edge.
Mo Yu scoffed. "A little rich, coming from a Black-Corner Region elder. Compassion isn't exactly in your nature, is it?" His cold laughter echoed as his eyes remained fixed on Gao Lie, his body thrumming with energy, ready to strike the final blow.
Gao Lie's face twisted as he struggled for a response. After a moment, he forced a smile and said, "Let's call this a misunderstanding. Consider the Transformation Pill a gift from me."
"A gift?" Mo Yu chuckled, rubbing his chin as if in contemplation. "There is something I want from you, Gao Lie."
Hope sparked in Gao Lie's eyes. "Just name it! If you'll let me go, it's yours."
Mo Yu's smile grew dark. "What I want, Gao Lie, is… your life."
In that moment of distraction, a strange spatial energy radiated from Mo Yu, and his figure vanished.
"Not good!" Gao Lie's eyes widened, recalling how Mo Yu had used this very ability to escape from him months ago. "I can't believe I forgot about this trick!"
He gritted his teeth and punched his chest, forcing a mouthful of beast blood from within. The fiery aura surrounding him ignited once more, and crimson flame scales gathered on his skin, transforming him into a human juggernaut.
"You little brat! Killing me won't be so easy!"
"Barbaric Flame Beast Body Art, Ironhide Rhino Armor!"
Just as his flames roared to life, Mo Yu reappeared in a flash, spear thrusting forward. He gathered terrifying energy into the tip of the spear, a force so powerful it made the heavens tremble.
Another Di-Class technique!
"It ends here, Gao Lie!"
"Nine Heavens Thunder Cloud Split!"
With a menacing smile, Mo Yu spun the spear in a rapid vortex, pulling in the surrounding energy. In an instant, the spear erupted in a devastating blast, tearing through Gao Lie like paper, leaving him to spit blood and shattered innards as thunderous energy engulfed him.
Trapped in this fierce attack, Gao Lie let out a heart-wrenching scream that echoed through the sky.
The thunderous power held for half a minute before dissipating. In its place, only ashes remained, drifting away in the wind.
Gao Lie was dead.
