Chapter 1117 The Evil Clan's Scheme, Forging the Avatar

"Oh? You were actually injured by a newly ascended sacred artifact from the Great Thousand World?"

Upon hearing what the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Demon Emperor said, the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor's demonic light fluctuated, as if he had become somewhat interested.

"The ability to restrain your Myriad Tribulations Demonic Lightning? The True Meaning of Chaos? Could it be... some kind of top-tier lightning physique or inheritance that has never appeared in the world before?"

"That's not all!" The Thunder Emperor's tone became more urgent, his demonic voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"More importantly, when I arrived, I clearly sensed that there was a very young child next to the Thunder Emperor Mo Yu!"

Within that child's body... lay a primordial chaotic lightning source that even made this Emperor's demonic soul tremble and go mad!

That was the oldest, purest, primordial aura, seemingly the origin of the Great Dao of Thunder!

"If I can devour and refine it, my Myriad Tribulations Demonic Lightning Body will undergo a fundamental transformation, and may even advance further!"

"Primordial Chaotic Thunder Source?!"

"The origin of Thunder Avenue?"

"Is there such a thing?!"

Upon hearing this, even the seemingly indifferent Heavenly Demon Emperors showed a noticeable fluctuation in their demonic thoughts.

At their level, ordinary resources and energy no longer interest them; only things that involve the source of power and can drive their own essential evolution are true treasures!

The Primordial Chaos Thunder Source—it sounds like such a heaven-defying thing!

Blood Demon Clan Chief, Blood Sea churning: "Wan Jie, is this true? Or are you exaggerating to cover up your defeat?"

"I swear by the very essence of my demonic soul!" the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.

"That aura was undeniable! Although the child's physique seemed to have just awakened and his aura was unstable at the time, the purity and vastness of his origin were unprecedented!"

This child must be controlled by our clan! We must never allow the Great Thousand World to nurture him! Otherwise, he will surely become a major threat to our clan in the future!

The ghostly figure of the Spirit Demon Clan Chief emitted an ethereal demonic voice: "If that is truly the case, this child's value is indeed immeasurable."

But Wan Jie, you mentioned that Thunder Emperor Mo Yu, who seems to be no ordinary person either. A newly promoted Saint-level expert, capable of severing your arm, yet still able to protect a progeny with such potential…”

"This is precisely the point I wanted to make!" The Thunder Emperor's evil eyes turned crimson.

"That Thunder Emperor Mo Yu not only possesses a strange and powerful Thunder Dao, but also seems to have touched upon a trace of Chaotic Thunder Intent, making his combat strength far surpass that of an ordinary early-stage Saint-grade cultivator."

What's more troublesome is that he seems to have been appointed as the 'Eastern Garrison Commander' by the Great Thousand Palace and is currently consolidating the power of the entire Eastern territory!

If he truly unites the eastern territories into a single force, coupled with his formidable military strength… the East may become an impenetrable fortress for our race! It might even become a bridgehead for the Great Thousand Worlds to launch a counterattack against our race!”

It paused, then its demonic voice, filled with chilling killing intent, said: "I suggest that, while it has not been in a long time since it was integrated, its foundation is not yet stable, and it has just been promoted to the Saint rank, we should immediately mobilize our forces and launch a large-scale probing attack on the eastern territory!"

Firstly, it could disrupt their integration process and demoralize them; secondly, it could test the true combat strength and defensive deployment of Mo Yu and his subordinates.

Thirdly, we must seek an opportunity to abduct or...destroy that child with the Chaos Thunder Source Body amidst the chaos! We must not allow such a variable to grow up unscathed!

"Invade the eastern territory of the Great Thousand World?" The patriarch of the Blade Demon Clan's blade flashed with a cold light.

"Now that the great war has not yet fully broken out and there are constraints on all fronts, will diverting troops to attack the eastern borders interrupt the plan to save our god?"

Moreover, although Qin Tian and the Undying Lord are tied down, other top experts in the Great Thousand World, such as the Green-Robed Sword Saint, the True Dragon Emperor, and the Tomb Keepers under the Undying Lord, may very well come to their aid.

The Demon Devouring Clan Chief's black hole-like demonic figure emitted a muffled hum: "Consumption... and gains... need to be weighed... The Chaos Lightning Source... its value... is indeed high... but the risk... is also considerable..."

The other Heavenly Demon Emperors also showed thoughtful expressions.

At their level, every large-scale operation involves a wide range of issues and requires weighing the pros and cons.

While the allure of the Chaos Thunder Source Body is great, they do not wish for it to trigger a full-scale war prematurely, or for them to get bogged down in a local quagmire.

The chaotic demonic light of the Holy Heaven Demon Emperor slowly circulated, and finally, that indifferent will resounded once more: "The Chaotic Thunder Source Body... is of great importance. What Wan Jie said is not without reason. Such a variable cannot be left in the Great Thousand World."

“However, the time is not yet ripe for a full-scale attack,” the Holy Demon Emperor decided.

"As Wan Jie requests, we may launch a 'limited' probing attack on the eastern border."

"Destiny: The Thunder Demon Clan, Blade Demon Clan, Blood Demon Clan, and Spirit Demon Clan will each select a unit of elite demon troops, led by a Heavenly Demon Emperor or several top-tier Profound Demon Emperors, to form the 'Eastern Invasion Legion'."

"The objective is to breach the defenses of the eastern border of the Great Thousand Worlds, penetrate its territory, create panic and destruction, and focus on striking the core forces of the Zhen Dong Prince's Mansion and any potential targets of the Chaos Thunder Source."

The primary objectives are to probe the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, disrupt integration, and create chaos. If the opportunity is exceptionally favorable, one can attempt to achieve strategic goals.

"On other fronts, strengthen containment and feints to prevent large-scale reinforcements from other regions of the world from reaching the East."

"This operation was coordinated by the Supreme Commander, the Thunder Emperor of Ten Thousand Calamities."

Remember, this is a probe, not a decisive battle. If unforeseen circumstances arise or the world launches a powerful counterattack, retreat is permitted, but you must bring back sufficiently valuable intelligence.

The will of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor is the final decision.

Even the patriarchs of the Blade Demon Clan and the Blood Demon Clan nodded slightly, indicating their obedience.

After all, with the four races sending troops, the risks are shared, and the potential benefits of the Chaos Thunder Source Body are worth taking a certain risk for.

A glint of triumph and cruelty flashed in the evil eyes of the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Demon Emperor: "By order of the Holy Demon Emperor! I will make sure that Mo Yu knows how foolish it is to offend me and covet the Chaos Thunder Source! The Eastern Territory... will soon be met with the thunderous wrath of my race!"

"Go." The demonic light of the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor gradually faded.

"Let the ants of this vast world remember once again the fear of being swallowed by the abyss."

Within the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the demonic energy surged even more violently, intertwined with countless demonic thoughts filled with killing intent and greed.

A dark storm, targeting the Eastern Frontier, the Zhen Dong Prince's Mansion, and even more so Mo Yu and Qing Chen's innate chaotic lightning source bodies, has officially begun to brew at the bottom of the abyss.

Four terrifying demonic armies, composed of top-tier evil races, are about to cross the endless void and dimensional barriers, unleashing destruction and despair upon the newly integrated eastern territory that has yet to catch its breath.

Meanwhile, in the Eastern King's Mansion on the Thunder Continent, Mo Yu, who was making every effort to promote the integration and defense construction of the Eastern Region, suddenly felt a subtle yet clear tremor in his Saint-grade spiritual sense.

The feeling was as if something extremely dangerous and malicious was slowly opening its eyes in the distant darkness, casting its greedy and cold gaze toward the east.

A storm is brewing, and the wind fills the eastern tower.

……

The aftershocks of the Eastern Region Conference have not yet completely subsided, but the Zhen Dong Wang Mansion on the Tian Lei Continent has already entered a state of preparedness that appears relaxed on the surface but is actually tense on the inside.

The reorganization and takeover of the seven troublesome factions was carried out in an orderly manner by Qing Yanjing, Lei Feier, Xiao Yu and others.

The formation and training of the Eastern Garrison Army were in full swing under the leadership of Generals Lei Dong, Zi Huo, and Lei Yu.

The three newly appointed retainers, Dongfang Shuo, Baosheng Venerable, and Feng Wuyai, were in the secret area of ​​the royal palace, healing their wounds while getting acquainted with their new identities and environment with mixed feelings.

However, Mo Yu, who resided in the deepest part of the Thunder Emperor Palace, felt a lingering unease in his heart that had existed since the end of the great battle. Instead of fading away, it became clearer and more urgent as time went by.

It was a warning originating from a sacred spiritual sense, as if invisible, malevolent tentacles were spreading from the endless, distant dark void, gradually coiling and tightening, their target pointing directly to the east, directly towards... him and Qingchen.

"The Thunder Emperor of Ten Thousand Calamities will never let this go... The greed of the extraterrestrial evil races for the Chaos Thunder Source is beyond imagination."

Inside the secret chamber, Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, lightning flashing within them, reflecting the Eastern Region Star Map floating before him.

On the star map, the light that originally represented the Eastern Autonomous Alliance has dimmed and submitted, and the fortune of the entire Eastern Territory is converging towards the Zhen Dong Prince's Mansion with unprecedented smoothness.

But this is not enough.

He could sense that an undercurrent, far larger, colder, and more destructive than any previous internal resistance, was converging and surging beyond the borders.

Relying solely on the newly integrated and still-needing-to-be-integrated forces of the Eastern Region, along with his own early-stage Saint-level cultivation, to deal with the potential invasion of the evil army led by the Evil Demon Emperor would be extremely risky.

He needs greater strength and faster breakthroughs.

His gaze shifted to the other side of the secret chamber, where a figure sat quietly, bearing an appearance identical to his own, yet radiating pure and powerful physical strength, with a faint bronze hue flowing beneath his skin.

It was his external avatar that inherited the Desolate Ancestor's Body and possessed a Saint-grade physical body!

The clone shares his will and possesses pure physical strength comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign at the early stage of the Saint Rank. Its defensive power is also astonishing. It is in perfect harmony with Mo Yu's main body and works seamlessly together. It is another important trump card for him besides the Chaos Thunder Orb.

During the great battle of the Ancient Buddha Clan, his clone withstood two Saint-level experts from the Black Heaven Ancient Clan without being defeated.

"Returning to oneness with the original self, nourishing the body, and sublimating the spirit..." Mo Yu murmured to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

This is a bold idea. It's not simply about retrieving the clone, but about completely "melting" this physical clone, which has been painstakingly crafted and has reached the Saint-level.

It completely integrates its purest physical essence, blood essence, and the trace of the ancient ancestor's mark into its main body!

If this move succeeds, it will not only greatly enhance his already powerful physical body, but more importantly, the life essence and energy in his clone that have reached the level of a Saint-grade physical body will become the most powerful and direct "fuel" and "propulsion" for him to break through the bottleneck of the mid-stage Saint-grade!

With the new insights into the chaotic realm of thunder he had just gained from the awakening of the Clear Dust and the Chaos Thunder Pill, his confidence was already quite high.

But the risks are equally enormous.

The clone and the main body share the same origin, yet they have been independent for a long time. If they are completely melted down rashly, it may cause energy conflicts or even damage the foundation.

The process is bound to be extremely painful, and once it begins, it cannot be stopped; it requires an absolutely quiet and safe environment.

"Time waits for no one." Mo Yu took a deep breath, all hesitation vanishing from his eyes, leaving only a rock-solid determination.

He had a premonition that the extraterrestrial evil race had probably already set its sights on him.

Before the evil army truly invades, Mo Yu must advance himself to a higher level!

Only by reaching the mid-stage of the Saintly Realm can he have more confidence to face more evil demon emperors, better protect his family, and safeguard this newly unified eastern territory.

Having made up his mind, he immediately sent a message, summoning Qing Yanjing, Lei Feier, Xiao Yu, Ya Fei, Yun Yun and other women, as well as Dongfang Shuo, who had just regained some of his mobility, Bao Sheng Zun Zhe and Feng Wuyai.

"I will go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the mid-stage of the Saint Rank." Mo Yu got straight to the point, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable weight.

"This seclusion is no small matter. Before I emerge from seclusion, all affairs of the Prince's Mansion will be decided by Fei'er, Yu'er, and Xiao Jing."

With Little Fairy Doctor, Ya Fei, and Yun Yun assisting you, along with Dongfang Shuo, Feng Wuyai, and Venerable Bao Sheng, the three of you are still recovering from your injuries, but your Saint-level perception remains. Together with Lei Dong, you will be responsible for the highest level of security in the Thunder Emperor Palace and the core area of ​​the Thunder Continent.

If any extraterrestrial evil aura or large-scale spatial anomalies are detected, issue an immediate warning. If necessary, activate the 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Lei Yu Grand Array' first.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"Husband, why are you in such a hurry to break through?" Qing Yanjing was taken aback, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and doubt.

The others also looked at Mo Yu with curiosity, wondering what could have made the usually calm and composed Mo Yu so nervous.

Mo Yu's gaze swept over everyone, and he slowly said, "I can feel that the threat is approaching. That extraterrestrial evil race has probably already set its sights on my Zhen Dong Wang Mansion."

Reaching the mid-stage of the Saintly Rank is a hurdle I must overcome. Only then can I protect the Eastern Region and my family from future storms.

He looked at Qingyan Jing and the other woman, his tone gentle yet firm: "From now on, take good care of this home for me."

Seeing the unwavering determination in his eyes, Qing Yanjing knew that further persuasion was useless. She could only suppress her worries and nod heavily: "Don't worry about your seclusion. I'll take care of everything outside. I'll look after Chen'er. The Prince's mansion will never be in chaos."

Lei Feier, Xiao Yu, and the other women nodded in agreement, expressing their support.

"We will do our utmost to protect the royal palace and await the Thunder Emperor's successful return from seclusion!" Feng Wuyai and the other two looked at each other and then said in unison.

After being implanted with the 'Thunder Heart Lock', they accepted their fate and only thought about serving the Prince's Mansion obediently in exchange for their personal freedom.

Moreover, their lives now depend on Mo Yu's every thought, so naturally they hope that Mo Yu becomes stronger and stronger.

With the arrangements made, Mo Yu didn't delay any longer.

He chose the 'Chaotic Thunder Pool,' located deep within the Thunder Emperor Palace, a place that draws upon the primordial thunder power of the Heavenly Thunder Continent, as his place of seclusion.

This place not only boasts the most abundant and pure energy, but is also protected by multiple sacred spirit arrays personally set up by Qing Yanjing, ensuring the highest level of secrecy and security.

After entering the Chaos Thunder Pool, Mo Yu and his clone sat facing each other. Facing the impending 'melting' fate, the clone showed no sign of frustration. Instead, he looked at Mo Yu and smiled with relief.

"Heh, my true self, you've finally allowed me to return to my original form..."
