Chapter 1114 The Might of the Thunder Emperor, One Against Three
The sudden arrival of the three Saint-rank Heavenly Sovereigns was like three invisible giant mountains, pressing down on the hearts of everyone in the East Town Hall.
The atmosphere inside the hall, which had been one-sided due to Mo Yu's questioning, instantly became subtle and dangerous.
Countless gazes swept back and forth between Mo Yu on the throne and the three Saint-level figures in the hall, holding their breath and not daring to even breathe loudly.
Feng Wuyai, the Supreme Elder of the Wind Spirit Clan, possessed an ethereal and vast aura, as if he had merged with the fierce winds of heaven and earth.
Dongfang Shuo, the patriarch of the Dongfang family, possessed immense power and his steps were as steady and composed as those of an ancient emperor.
The outside helper invited by Qian Wanguan, Venerable Baosheng, appeared wealthy and amiable, but his eyes gleamed with unfathomable brilliance. Although he was a rogue cultivator, he had cultivated to the Saint rank and was one of the top figures in the Great Thousand World.
Although the three Saints did not fully unleash their pressure, the mere presence of them caused the space to freeze.
Faced with this sudden pressure, Mo Yu remained seated on the throne, his expression calm and composed. Only the lightning in his deep eyes seemed to have increased slightly.
“Feng Wuyai, Dongfang Shuo…” Mo Yu’s voice was calm, revealing no emotion: “You two are renowned elders of the Eastern Region, long detached from worldly affairs. It is quite unexpected that you have come out of seclusion today for such a matter.”
His gaze shifted to the portly old man on the pillar: "Venerable Baosheng? I've heard of him. You've been invited by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce today, are you here to support a suspect who may be colluding with the evil race and plotting to harm this emperor?"
Mo Yu's words were clear and cold, directly sealing the accusations of colluding with the evil race and plotting against the King of Zhen Dong, leaving no room for the three Saint-level beings to maneuver, and further pointing out the injustice of the Venerable Bao Sheng's intervention in this matter.
Feng Wuyai frowned slightly. He was indeed unwilling to completely break ties with the rising power of Mo Yu, but the survival of his clan was paramount, and he had no choice but to do so.
He said in a deep voice, “Emperor Lei, I have been in seclusion for many years, not concerned with worldly affairs. Today I have come out of seclusion not to protect the younger generation, but because I do not want to see the reputation of my Fengling clan ruined by unfounded accusations.”
While the events described by the Thunder Emperor may have coincidental aspects, there is no conclusive evidence. To convict our clan of treason based solely on conjecture is far too arbitrary.
"How about we each take a step back? I guarantee that the Wind Spirit Clan will henceforth strictly obey the Royal Palace's orders and have no disloyal intentions. How about we let this matter drop?"
Dongfang Shuo, however, was used to being domineering and sneered: "Young Mo Yu! When I was dominating the Eastern Region, you weren't even born yet! Today, with the power to repel the demons, you think you can arbitrarily decide the life and death of my Dongfang family? Colluding with the enemy? What a joke!"
"I see you are clearly using this as an excuse to eliminate your rivals and seize control of the Eastern Region! With me here today, how dare you act so presumptuously!"
Venerable Baosheng chuckled, playing with the precious pearl: "This old man is just someone who does things for money. The reward promised by Chairman Qian is really hard for me to refuse."
"Your Majesty, please grant me some face. Let's set aside today's matter for now, sit down and talk things over calmly. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!"
The three Saint-level experts, one using appeasement, one using force, and one using smooth pressure, clearly intend to force Mo Yu to back down by combining their strength, at least to preserve the lives of the core members of the alliance and their basic independence.
Inside the hall, everyone's heart pounded like a drum, and their palms were sweating.
The combined pressure from three Saint-level experts is a scene unprecedented in the Eastern Region!
Although Mo Yu is strong and can defeat a Heavenly Demon Emperor, can he still hold his own against three Saint-level beings of the same level?
Feng Yuanzi, Dongfang Changqing, and the others had a renewed glimmer of hope in their eyes, and their backs straightened involuntarily.
With the strong support of our ancestor, we may be able to survive this calamity today!
However, upon hearing the three people's words, Mo Yu, sitting on the throne, suddenly chuckled softly.
The laughter wasn't loud, but it carried an indescribable mockery and coldness, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Ironclad evidence? The demonic claws of the Heavenly Demon Emperor that I severed are here, as are the indirect evidence of your secret gatherings and the deployment of interference devices. The time, place, and motive match. Isn't that ironclad enough?"
"Does it really have to be the Demon Emperor himself who identifies them before it's considered irrefutable evidence?" Mo Yu's voice grew colder: "As for conjecture, framing, and eliminating dissidents..."
He stood up slowly.
The moment he stood up, an indescribable, vast, and majestic aura, like a sleeping primordial beast, was completely awakened and erupted from his body!
No longer the restraint of before, but a complete release!
"boom!"
Endless silver-purple lightning burst forth from every pore of his body, weaving into a tangible thunder armor and an imperial canopy!
In his eyes, the left eye roared with destructive purple-silver lightning, while the right eye was filled with the surging and evolving chaos!
A thunderous imperial might, far more magnificent and complete than before, faintly carrying a chaotic, creation-of-the-world-like intent, swept across the entire East Town Hall like a bursting dam of a galaxy!
The walls and dome inside the hall, forged from purple divine gold and star-like glass, hummed autonomously under this imperial might, radiating brilliant lightning and starlight in resonance!
The seventy-two thunder totem poles shone brightly, faintly forming a massive array force field that empowered Mo Yu!
At this moment, he was not only the Thunder Emperor Mo Yu, but also the master of this Zhen Dong Wang Mansion and this Tian Lei Continent!
Make the most of your home advantage!
The three Saint-level experts, Feng Wuyai, Dongfang Shuo, and Baosheng Venerable, all had their expressions slightly changed under the sudden and terrifying imperial might that far exceeded their expectations, and they all took a small half step back in unison!
The protective aura around his body involuntarily activated, fiercely resisting the oppressive imperial might of thunder, producing a hissing friction sound!
Such overwhelming power! It's far stronger than the rumors said when it first reached the Saint Rank! All three of them simultaneously felt a surge of surprise and doubt.
"I, the King, have unified the Eastern Region by order of the Great Thousand Palace, in order to unite our forces, jointly resist the evil race, and protect the peace of billions of lives in the Eastern Region of the Great Thousand! This is a glorious and righteous cause!"
Mo Yu's voice was like thunder from the heavens, deafening and resounding.
"You all banded together to resist for your own selfish interests, feigning compliance while secretly opposing me, which is already wrong! You even dared to secretly interfere with my actions, your intentions are despicable! Today, you have even attracted the covetous eyes of the extraterrestrial demon emperor, almost causing a great disaster! How is such behavior any different from colluding with the enemy?!"
He stepped off the throne platform, stood in mid-air, and looked down at the three holy figures with eyes like lightning.
"Feng Wuyai, Dongfang Shuo! You two have been in seclusion for many years, ignoring right and wrong, and indulging the younger generation's reckless behavior. Now you even want to use your power to suppress others and cover up their crimes! As saints, instead of protecting the common people, you have become the source of chaos. How can you face the world?!"
“And you, Venerable Baosheng!” Mo Yu’s gaze turned to the portly old man.
"For a little money or favor, you get involved in matters that involve the safety of the world and the conspiracy of the evil race without distinguishing right from wrong! Is this how the supreme rank of Saint is used?"
"If you leave now, I will pretend you were never here. But if you insist on interfering... don't blame me for showing no mercy under my thunderous power!"
Every word was like a knife, every sentence like thunder. It not only refuted the other party's accusations, but also placed the three people in a moral low ground of being unable to distinguish right from wrong, indulging their juniors, and being blinded by profit, thus occupying the absolute high ground of public opinion and morality!
"Arrogant!" Dongfang Shuo was the first to fly into a rage. He had never been reprimanded like this before, especially by a 'junior' in public!
"Mo Yu! Do you really think you can command the Eastern Region with just the title of Demon Slayer of the East? Today, I will show you what true Saint-level power is!"
He roared, his black dragon-patterned imperial robe billowing, his hands forming a hand seal, and a vast, ancient empire phantom appeared in the void behind him, with all people worshipping and dragon energy soaring into the sky!
A domineering imperial will that suppressed all directions and was the only one to be supreme, mixed with the purest Xuanhuang dragon energy, transformed into a lifelike, five-clawed Xuanhuang divine dragon thousands of feet long, roaring as it charged toward Mo Yu!
Wherever it passes, space freezes and all laws retreat!
It is the sacred technique that protects the Dongfang family, and it is also one of the thirty-six peerless divine abilities in the Great Thousand World.
The Emperor's Supreme Ruler!
"Stubborn fool!" Seeing that the negotiations had broken down, Feng Wuyai no longer hesitated, sighed, and his eyes became sharp as the wind.
He didn't move, but simply flicked his sleeve.
Instantly, countless invisible yet incredibly sharp 'Nine Heavens Gale Blades' appeared out of thin air within the entire East Town Hall!
These wind blades were not chaotic, but formed an extremely sophisticated and complex wind-elemental spiritual energy field, cutting towards Mo Yu from all directions and penetrating every nook and cranny, while attempting to interfere with and strip away the lightning spiritual energy gathered around Mo Yu!
The Wind Spirit Clan's sacred technique, one of the thirty-six peerless divine abilities in the Great Thousand Worlds, is the Boundless Wind Domain!
Seeing this, Venerable Baosheng shook his head, his smile fading, and a hint of helplessness and sternness flashed in his eyes: "So be it, since we can't reach an agreement, I can only stretch my muscles. Your Excellency Thunder Emperor, I apologize!"
He did not unleash any earth-shattering divine power. After all, as a rogue cultivator, he did not possess any of the thirty-six peerless divine powers. Instead, he raised his hand and threw out the two precious beads that he had been playing with!
A pearl, as red as fire, flew out and instantly transformed into a Nine Yang True Fire that burned the void. The flames were pure gold in color, and the temperature was so high that even space itself was distorted and collapsed by the heat!
The other pearl was as blue as water, transforming into a stream of Xuanming True Water that froze souls. Wherever it passed, even light and time seemed to be frozen!
Both of these are extraordinary treasures that have reached the level of top-grade immortal artifacts!
The interaction of water and fire created a strange balance and amplification, transforming into a torrent of interwoven ice and fire, destruction and freezing, that swept towards Mo Yu!
The name of Venerable Baosheng is indeed well-deserved!
The three Saint-level experts made their moves almost simultaneously!
One is the Imperial Dragon Qi that suppresses mountains and rivers, another is the Formless Gale that cuts through the laws, and the third is the Ice and Fire Holy Treasure that seals the heavens and freezes the earth!
The attacks varied, but each contained the power of a Saint-grade weapon, complementing each other and instantly sealing off all of Mo Yu's escape space, aiming to severely injure or even suppress him in one fell swoop!
All the onlookers in the hall were terrified and quickly summoned their protective artifacts, desperately retreating to the edge, fearing that they would be grazed by the aftershocks of the clash of the holy items and reduced to ashes!
Faced with this combined attack that would make any early-stage Saint-level expert change color or even need to temporarily avoid its edge, Mo Yu's eyes burned with an unprecedentedly fervent fighting spirit!
"Well done! Let me see just how much of a treasure you closed-off, stagnant saints really are!"
He let out a long roar, and instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a step forward to meet the three terrifying torrents of attack!
"Heavenly Chaos Thunder Armor!"
"Buzz!"
The solid lightning armor on his body suddenly changed, and wisps of chaotic color emerged from the depths of the purple-silver lightning.
The armor's form became more ancient and heavy, as if it were directly forged from chaotic lightning. Its surface evolved into a scene of creation, instantly increasing its defensive power and resistance to supernatural powers by several levels!
"Ten Thousand Dragons God-Slaying Thunder!"
Mo Yu spat out a stream of lightning, which instantly expanded into eight incredibly solid silver lightning dragons, each ten thousand feet long, emitting a roar that shook the continent!
Instead of attacking separately, the eight thunder dragons linked head to tail, swirling and flying, instantly creating a thunder dragon domain that commanded all thunder, with Mo Yu at the center!
Once this domain was formed, the attacking Nine Heavens Gale Blade was immediately as if it were stuck in a quagmire, its speed greatly reduced, and its power was continuously weakened and neutralized by the Thunder Domain!
The freezing power of the Xuanming True Water was also firmly resisted by the power of thunder!
At the same time, Mo Yu formed hand seals, and the Heavenly Gang Origin within his body, which had been fused with new insights and was now more powerful and pure, suddenly erupted. He punched the roaring Imperial Extreme World-Suppressing Dragon with one fist and slapped the Holy Treasure Torrent of intertwined ice and fire with the other palm!
"Thunder Emperor Fist, Chaos Creation!"
The punch was no longer a simple purple-silver lightning bolt, but a strange lightning bolt interwoven with purple-silver and chaos.
The fist, carrying the domineering will to destroy all laws and restore order, crashed into the Xuanhuang Divine Dragon!
"Thunder in the palm, all things return to nothingness!"
In his palm, endless lightning condensed and compressed, transforming into a miniature, ever-collapsed, and engulfing black hole of lightning.
Chaotic lightning flowed around the edge of the black hole, emanating a terrifying suction force that pulled all things into the void and transformed them into the most primordial source of lightning, heading towards the torrent of ice and fire!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!"
A terrifying explosion, beyond description, erupted in the center of the East Town Hall!
If this palace were not made of extraordinary materials and had not been protected by a powerful and stable array, as well as by a force field composed of seventy-two thunder totem pillars, the aftershocks of this first collision alone would have been enough to level the entire palace and even half of the Thunder Continent!
Even so, the blinding light and destructive energy storm still swept through most of the hall.
Countless array lights flickered wildly, groaning under the strain!
Even with the protection of the array and their own magical treasures, the onlookers were still shaken so badly that their blood and qi surged, they staggered and paled in horror!
As the light dimmed, everyone eagerly turned their gaze to the center of the battle.
Mo Yu's chaotic lightning armor was slightly dimmed, and the eight lightning dragon phantoms were somewhat disordered, but he still stood steadily in the void, his figure as imposing as a mountain and as still as a deep pool!
And on the opposite side.
The Imperial Dragon that Dongfang Shuo had condensed was actually smashed in half by the Chaos Creation Fist, its head shattered and its massive body crumbled into countless fragments of Xuanhuang Qi!
Dongfang Shuo himself let out a muffled groan, took three steps back, and several black spots appeared on his clothes. His eyes were filled with disbelief!
Feng Wuyai's Boundless Wind Domain also failed to cause any substantial damage to Mo Yu. Instead, it was constantly eroded and worn down by the Thunder Domain, and its range shrank considerably!
Feng Wuyai's face paled slightly, clearly indicating that maintaining this massive wind domain to fight against the lightning domain was extremely taxing.
The torrent of ice and fire sacred treasures of Venerable Baosheng was tightly sucked in, devoured, and annihilated by the thunderous black hole of the Myriad Transformations Return to Nothingness!
The Venerable Baosheng's expression gradually turned solemn, and he waved his hand to recall the two pearls whose light had dimmed considerably.
In the first round, Mo Yu faced three opponents head-on and surprisingly managed to achieve a draw, even gaining the upper hand!
