After the battle, an eerie silence hung over the massive altar.

Everyone stared blankly at the two battered figures in the plaza. Although both of them were now drained of their spiritual power, their previous clash left an undeniable sense of awe lingering in the air.

"This guy is truly unfathomable..."

The hushed silence lasted for a long while before someone finally couldn’t help but murmur in a low voice.

Although Mo Yu hadn’t claimed victory, and his battle with Hou Jun ended in mutual destruction, at best a draw, the fact that he, with only a half-step Eighth Grade Supreme cultivation, could hold his own against Hou Jun—who had stepped into the Ninth Grade Supreme realm and even unleashed his Titan Divine Might—was astonishing. More importantly, this guy actually possessed divine abilitys!

Such an array of trump cards and abilities made everyone understand the true meaning of a peerless genius.

While the gathered powerhouses were still reeling from the shocking conclusion, Cai Lin was the first to snap out of it. She immediately signaled Mang Lie and the others before swiftly dashing onto the plaza. She landed beside Mo Yu, positioning herself as his protector.

At this moment, Mo Yu was clearly drained. If someone were to take advantage of this opportunity, things could go very wrong. They had to ensure that such a situation would not occur.

However, Cai Lin’s caution seemed unnecessary, as the gazes directed at Mo Yu from the surrounding crowd were filled with nothing but respect and solemnity.

Even though they knew he was severely weakened, with barely a fraction of his power remaining, the sight of his berserk, demon-like ferocity from moments ago still lingered vividly in their minds.

Who would dare harbor ill intentions now? They feared provoking him into another reckless, life-risking rampage, dragging them all into oblivion. That would be an irreversible mistake.

Mo Yu glanced at Cai Lin and the others, letting out a small breath of relief before sitting cross-legged to recover from the turbulence within his body. In truth, he was quite surprised that Hou Jun had forced him into such a state.

After all, back in the Dou Qi Continent, he had stood supreme for so many years. Both he and his true self had long developed an unshakable belief in their own invincibility. Even when facing opponents far beyond his own level, he had always managed to turn the tables through sheer dominance.

Yet today, against Hou Jun, he had rarely found himself in a deadlock—to the point where he had nearly lost. This was an exceedingly rare occurrence for him.

Moreover, the Titan Divine Might was indeed worthy of its name as the trump card of the Titan Ape Clan. That berserk enhancement was akin to an overwhelming power boost. If Hou Jun had been even a bit stronger, Mo Yu might not have been able to withstand it.

Fortunately, Hou Jun had only recently advanced to the Ninth Grade Supreme, and Mo Yu’s Sacrificial Demon Fist was an extraordinary divine ability, far beyond ordinary techniques. That was why their battle had ended in such a stalemate.

As Mo Yu quietly regulated his breath, the Titan Ape Clan’s prodigies also surrounded Hou Jun, vigilantly scanning their surroundings to prevent any disturbances during his recovery.

For about ten minutes, the two combatants remained in meditation. Then, their closed eyes slowly opened, and the once-diminished fluctuations of their spiritual energy began to recover significantly. In their deep, dark eyes, clarity and vigor were rekindled.

Mo Yu flicked his sleeves and rose to his feet. As he did, countless gazes from outside the altar fixated on him, filled with varying degrees of reverence.

At the same time, Hou Jun also stood up, gripping his stone staff lazily as he stretched, his thin face revealing a satisfied grin.

"Heh, since the match is still undecided, shall we continue?"

Mo Yu gazed at Hou Jun, raising an eyebrow slightly as he chuckled at the latter’s still-eager expression.

He had to admit, this Hou Jun was a complete battle maniac. Even after such a brutal clash—one that had given Mo Yu a headache—Hou Jun still seemed to be enjoying himself and was itching for more. This kind of mentality was truly bizarre.

While Mo Yu found this strong opponent somewhat troublesome, he also felt a hint of excitement. After all, how often does one find a worthy rival? Meeting such a formidable opponent could also be a great opportunity for growth.

However, just as Mo Yu was about to gather his strength for another round, Hou Jun unexpectedly shook his head, then scratched it, grinning as he said, "Nah, nah, I’m convinced. Your divine fist technique is way too freaky. I’ll challenge you again once my Titan Divine Might has improved."

"Oh? Then what about the inheritance blood essence of the Primordial Ancestral Ape?" Mo Yu was briefly taken aback before pointing at the stone statue of the Primordial Ancestral Ape in surprise.

If Hou Jun was backing down, then did that mean...

"Heh, I’ll let you have it." Hou Jun chuckled. "If it were anyone else inheriting the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s blood essence, I wouldn’t accept it. Such a divine inheritance shouldn’t be tainted by the unworthy.

But you, Mo Yu... you’ve cultivated a divine ability at just a half-step Eighth Grade Supreme. That alone makes me inferior to you." Hou Jun retracted his stone staff, grinning.

Hearing this, Mo Yu’s eyes lit up.

With Hou Jun withdrawing from the competition, who among the gathered beast prodigies could still contest him for the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s blood essence?

At that moment, Mo Yu couldn’t help but develop a favorable impression of Hou Jun. Though he was a battle maniac, he was refreshingly straightforward and likable.

"In that case, I sincerely thank you, Brother Hou," Mo Yu cupped his hands in gratitude.

"No need to thank me. You earned it through your own strength. Besides, if we had continued, we would have just worn each other out, only to let some outsider reap the benefits. It’s better this way—you won’t disgrace the inheritance." Hou Jun waved his hand dismissively.

Mo Yu nodded in agreement.

Through their exchange, both had realized that neither could defeat the other, and forcing a conclusion would have only led to mutual destruction, opening the door for a third party to claim the prize.

For Hou Jun, although the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s blood essence was a precious inheritance, the Titan Ape Clan’s bloodline was already on par with that of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. This inheritance was merely a nice bonus.

Thus, after recognizing that he couldn’t claim it, he decisively stepped back, handing the opportunity to Mo Yu—while also forging a friendship with an unparalleled genius.

In a way, this could be an even greater gain than the inheritance itself. After all, anyone could see that with Mo Yu’s talent, as long as he survived, he would one day stand at the peak of the Great Thousand World.

In this regard, Hou Jun, though simple and straightforward, was not lacking in wisdom.

As for Mo Yu, regardless of Hou Jun’s motives, he genuinely appreciated his gesture. After all, this saved him from an exhausting battle.

"Heh, Mo Yu, if you ever get the chance, come visit the Titan Ape Clan. We’ll have another round then." Hou Jun rubbed his hands together excitedly, a battle-hungry gleam in his eyes.

"If Brother Hou invites me, I will certainly visit," Mo Yu replied with a smile, cupping his hands again.

He found Hou Jun to be a worthwhile friend, and besides, the Titan Ape Clan was a top-tier power in the Great Thousand World. Establishing ties with them was not a bad idea.

"Heh, then it’s a deal!"

Hou Jun grinned at Mo Yu before waving his hand. Without hesitation, he led his clan members off the altar, officially conceding the inheritance of the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s blood essence.

Seeing this, the gathered beast prodigies gaped in shock.

They had all expected Mo Yu and Hou Jun to resume their fierce battle.

Who would have thought that Hou Jun would simply back down?

So, doesn’t this mean that the inheritance of the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s bloodline has directly fallen into Mo Yu’s hands?

Upon witnessing this, the expressions of many divine beast prodigies flickered with unease. They had originally intended to take advantage of Mo Yu and Hou Jun’s battle to reap the benefits, but who would have thought that Hou Jun would outright hand over the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s bloodline inheritance to Mo Yu?

With this turn of events, they no longer dared to snatch the inheritance from Mo Yu. After all, that divine fist technique had already left them trembling in fear.

"Pfft!"

In the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan, Xue Ming’s face turned ashen upon seeing this scene. His expression darkened to the extreme, and in a fit of rage, he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

He never expected that Mo Yu would not only seize the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python’s bloodline from him but also defeat Hou Jun and forcibly claim the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s bloodline inheritance.

In that case, Mo Yu was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the Divine Beast Origin!

For Xue Ming, who hated Mo Yu to the bone, this realization sent his fury surging uncontrollably, causing him to spit blood in sheer frustration.

Yet, despite his deep-seated anger, when he looked up at the awe-inspiring Mo Yu standing atop the altar, Xue Ming instinctively shrank back, not daring to meet his gaze.

What Xue Ming didn’t realize was that a seed of fear had already been planted in his heart, taking root and growing. From this day forward, Mo Yu was destined to become his lifelong nightmare...

On the altar, Mo Yu naturally paid no heed to a defeated foe like Xue Ming. His gaze swept across the area, and he found that no one dared to meet his eyes, let alone challenge him.

Seeing this, Mo Yu’s heart settled. After this battle, none of the powerful figures present would dare to provoke him lightly. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon be able to reach the stone statue of the Primordial Ancestral Ape and obtain its bloodline inheritance.

With this thought in mind, Mo Yu turned his gaze toward the last remaining stone statue, which belonged to the Ancient Dragon Eagle. Over there, the intense battle had also gradually drawn to a close.

The final victor turned out to be an unparalleled prodigy from the Roc Clan.

As the battle concluded, the victorious Roc prodigy looked toward Mo Yu’s direction, his eyes flashing with intrigue. Clearly, he had witnessed Mo Yu’s fierce battle against Hou Jun and was deeply shaken.

However, Mo Yu had no interest in what the Roc prodigy was thinking. With all three altars now settled, he turned toward Cai Lin, who stood atop the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python’s altar, and gave her a slight nod.

Their gazes met, and both revealed a faint smile, as if already aware of what awaited them next.

Then, Mo Yu shifted his focus to the rear of the square, where an endless stone staircase stretched forth. At its highest point stood the stone statue of the Primordial Ancestral Ape, radiating an ancient and boundless aura.

At this moment, the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s stone statue seemed to be emitting a faint purple-gold glow, as if calling out to the final victors.

Mo Yu took a deep breath, nodded lightly at Cai Lin, and then—without hesitation—their figures shot forward like lightning, heading straight for their respective stone statues.

Swish!

At the same time, on the other two squares, both Cai Lin and the Roc prodigy burst into motion, streaking toward the stone staircases leading to their respective statues.

From the altar, countless eyes watched the three figures charging toward the statues, their gazes burning with intense desire.

After all, these were the bloodline inheritances of supreme divine beasts! If they could obtain such power, they would undoubtedly evolve their own bloodlines, paving the way for an unhindered path of cultivation.

With such a boost, stepping into the Earthly Supreme realm in the future would no longer be a mere fantasy.

But alas, all three inheritances had already been claimed. Against these formidable contenders, the rest could only watch helplessly as those supreme rewards were taken.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mo Yu’s figure finally arrived at the top of the stone staircase, standing before the immense stone statue.

He looked up to see that the statue towered nearly a thousand feet high.

Ancient and weathered, the statue bore the marks of time. Its towering figure seemed to blot out the sky, and its very presence exuded an aura of primordial power. Even after millennia of erosion, an overwhelming pressure still radiated from it, making it hard to breathe.

Mo Yu’s expression turned solemn. Even though it was merely a stone statue, he could still feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

That pressure weighed directly upon his spirit, like an invisible force pressing down on his heart. Those lacking firm willpower would likely have already collapsed to their knees.

This was the might of a supreme divine beast.

The might of a Heavenly Supreme.

"Hm?"

Just as Mo Yu was adjusting to the oppressive aura emanating from the statue, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He noticed that the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s stone body had begun to glow faintly with purple-gold light.

That light was incredibly strange, seemingly adhering to the surface of the statue like a layer of skin, both ethereal and heavy at the same time.

"This is... the Primordial Skin?"

Mo Yu murmured under his breath. From Han Yue and the others, he had already learned a great deal about the Primordial Ancestral Ape.

The Primordial Ancestral Ape was not only the earliest ancestor of all ape-kind in the Great Thousand World but also the embodiment of raw power. Its mastery of primordial force surpassed even the Ancient Clan, which was renowned for their physical prowess.

The so-called Primordial Skin was a mere fragment of the Primordial Ancestral Ape’s outer layer. Yet even so, the sheer purity and potency of the primordial force within it were unmatched by ordinary treasures.

Seeing this, Mo Yu took a deep breath.

It seemed that coming to the Divine Beast Origin had truly been the right decision!
