A heavy silence blanketed the tavern, and the previously lively chatter within the building quietly faded away.

All eyes were fixated in shock on a bloodied figure plummeting from the sky. Just moments ago, that person had been a true Greater Earthly Supreme...

And yet, it only took one move.

This time, Mo Yu did not bother with any probing attacks. He had unleashed his true strength from the very beginning, and the result was simply astonishing.

However, Mo Yu’s expression remained calm, as if he had merely been warming up.

Over the past two years, even though he had been keeping an eye on the Ancient Thunder Palace, his own strength had also been rapidly increasing. Though he had yet to reach the Perfected Earthly Supreme level, ordinary Greater Earthly Supremes no longer posed any threat to him.

Amidst the overwhelming shock in the air, Thunder King finally struggled to his feet, his body battered and broken. Feeling the severe injuries within him, his face contorted into a mask of pain and rage. He glared venomously at Mo Yu and let out a hoarse, furious roar.

"You dare injure me?! Are you declaring war against my Thunder God Palace?!"

Mo Yu’s expression did not change. In the next moment, a silver gleam flickered in his eyes, and a streak of silver lightning shot forth like a flash. It struck Thunder King’s arm directly, blasting his right arm into a mist of blood and flesh.

"Aaaah!"

A piercing scream echoed across the sky. In the next instant, space twisted, and a bolt of thunder wrapped around Thunder King. His battered figure quickly retreated, fleeing in utter disgrace.

"Damn you! No matter who you are, my Thunder God Palace will tear you to shreds! We will never rest until you’re dead!"

Though his figure had vanished in a flash of lightning, Thunder King’s enraged roar still echoed across the heavens.

Hearing the threat, Mo Yu merely chuckled. A defeated dog posed no threat to him. As for Thunder God Palace, they were bound to clash sooner or later—it wasn’t worth worrying about.

On the other side, the remaining experts of Thunder God Palace exchanged glances, wiping cold sweat from their brows before swiftly fleeing without hesitation.

Even their Greater Earthly Supreme, Thunder King, had been crushed effortlessly by Mo Yu—how could they dare to stay any longer?

"Should we pursue them?"

Wind Emperor approached Mo Yu, his gaze following the escaping figures of Thunder God Palace’s forces.

"No need. The Ancient Thunder Palace has yet to open. Now is not the time to fully fall out with Thunder God Palace." Mo Yu shook his head.

The palace master of Thunder God Palace, Thunder God, was a formidable opponent. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best to avoid an early confrontation.

"I see." Wind Emperor understood Mo Yu’s reasoning and nodded. Then, his gaze sharpened slightly. "Still, you’ve crippled Thunder King. I doubt Thunder God Palace will let this go so easily."

Mo Yu replied indifferently, "If they come, we’ll deal with them. Thunder God Palace considers itself the heir of the Ancient Thunder Palace—we were bound to face each other sooner or later."

With a shake of his head, Mo Yu changed the topic. However, before long, a deafening explosion of spiritual energy rumbled from the distant sky.

Shortly after, countless figures emerged, streaking across the sky toward the city.

Each of these figures carried an overwhelming spiritual energy presence, clearly indicating that they were all formidable experts. With every arrival, waves of astonished cries rippled through the city.

"That’s Mu Tian, the First Hall Master of Heavenly Dragon Pavilion! He’s ranked in the forties on the Strongest Ranking of Heavenly Thunder Continent!"

Hearing the exclamation, Mo Yu’s gaze flickered.

The Strongest Ranking was a list compiled in Heavenly Thunder Continent to rank the top experts. It contained a total of eighty-one individuals. Only Greater Earthly Supremes could make the list—Thunder King, who had only recently broken through, wasn’t even qualified to be ranked.

This alone demonstrated just how terrifyingly vast Heavenly Thunder Continent’s pool of experts was.

It was said that Thunder God, the Palace Master of Thunder God Palace, was ranked fifth on the Strongest Ranking.

A sharp glint flashed through Mo Yu’s eyes. Thunder God was capable of battling a Heavenly Supreme without falling behind—his strength was undoubtedly terrifying. Yet he was only ranked fifth. Did that mean the top four were all Heavenly Supremes?

Fortunately, from what Mo Yu knew, those four were either wandering across the world and not currently in Heavenly Thunder Continent or were ancient monsters who hadn’t surfaced in centuries, leaving their life and death uncertain. Otherwise, the battle for the Ancient Thunder Palace would be even more unpredictable.

"Roar!"

A thunderous roar suddenly pulled Mo Yu from his thoughts.

A massive flood dragon hovered in the sky, letting out an earth-shaking bellow. This flood dragon possessed the bloodline of true dragons—though not entirely pure, it had the potential to evolve into a true divine beast given the right opportunity.

Standing atop the flood dragon’s head was a middle-aged man, his robes billowing in the wind. His boundless spiritual energy distorted the surrounding space.

Without pausing in the slightest, the man rode the flood dragon straight toward East Gang City.

"Greater Earthly Supreme at the peak... No wonder he’s ranked in the forties." Mo Yu narrowed his eyes as he watched Mu Tian’s departing figure.

It seemed that the emergence of the Ancient Thunder Palace had drawn quite the crowd of powerful figures.

"There’s also Jiang Hai from Water Sword Sect. It’s said he spent three years in seclusion within the Sword Grave and finally broke through to Greater Earthly Supreme."

After Mu Tian’s arrival, another figure streaked across the sky like a flying sword. A blue-robed man stood atop a sword, cutting through the air with a sharp, piercing aura, heading straight for East Gang City.

"Tsk tsk, even Xuan Ya, the Vice Master of Heaven’s Secret Pavilion, has come! Heaven’s Secret Pavilion specializes in intelligence gathering. Their sources are always reliable. If even she’s here personally, something big must be happening in East Gang City."

The next arrival was a woman in a red dress. Her features were refined and elegant, yet her figure was undeniably alluring. Every movement she made exuded an intoxicating charm.

However, a peculiar aspect of this woman was that her spiritual energy remained completely restrained. She was clearly using some sort of treasure to conceal her aura, making it impossible for others to discern her strength. This lent her an air of mystery.

At that moment, the red-dressed woman suddenly turned her gaze toward Mo Yu, her beautiful eyes locking onto him with a sharp intensity.

As an intelligence organization, Heaven’s Secret Pavilion thrived on gathering information. Mo Yu’s sudden and overwhelming display of strength had naturally piqued their interest.

Yet Mo Yu remained indifferent under her scrutiny, his expression calm and composed, showing no concern about his identity being exposed.

Seeing his unperturbed demeanor, the red-dressed woman’s lips curled into a slight smile before she turned away and left.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart filled the sky as figures continued to rush into the city. Among them were numerous renowned experts of Heavenly Thunder Continent.

The grand spectacle caused East Gang City to boil with excitement.

This scene continued for half an hour before gradually settling down. However, beneath the surface, unseen currents surged.

Even the dullest of minds could tell that something major was about to unfold in East Gang City.

Inside the tavern, Mo Yu and Wind Emperor gazed at the gradually calming sky. Hearing the waves of exclamations from the surrounding crowd, their expressions slightly tensed. The sudden gathering of so many top-tier experts in East Gang City suggested that something significant was about to happen here.

After all, every faction in Heavenly Thunder Continent was focused on this extreme eastern land, with many powerful individuals mobilized to gather intelligence related to the Ancient Thunder Palace.

"It seems we’ve come to the right place..." Wind Emperor looked at Mo Yu and chuckled. Though they didn’t yet know the exact reason for these experts assembling, it was undoubtedly connected to the Ancient Thunder Palace.

"Mm, let’s wait for the intelligence team to return. They should bring back useful information." Mo Yu nodded. The tavern was noisy, and the people inside were just as confused, unable to obtain any precise intelligence.

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long. About an hour later, several intelligence personnel returned.

"Prison Lord!" The group greeted Mo Yu respectfully.

Mo Yu nodded and asked, "Did you find out the reason behind the gathering of so many powerful figures?"

A thin man stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Prison Lord, we did uncover some information. It is said that a small team recently ventured into a spatial rift deep within the extreme eastern lands. They paid a heavy price, losing half their members, but managed to escape today."

"They obtained something?" Mo Yu’s eyes flickered. No one would care about the casualties of a mere expedition team—unless they had gained something significant. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people rushing here.

The man nodded. "It’s said they obtained certain items, but one of them is particularly peculiar. According to the survivors, when they managed to seize this object, it triggered a spiritual energy storm within the Ancient Thunder Palace.

Over ten of their companions were instantly torn to shreds by the storm, reduced to nothing but blood mist. Given this reaction, the item must be of great importance within the Ancient Thunder Palace."

"What exactly is this item?" Mo Yu asked in a deep voice.

"It appears to be a silver tower," the man answered.

"A silver tower?" Mo Yu’s gaze flickered, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.

Back then, he had obtained a silver tower from the Thunder Saint, which was tied to the inheritance of the Ancient Thunder Palace. If this newly emerged silver tower was the same as the one gifted by the Thunder Saint, then it was of immense value.

"These experts must have gathered here for that item," Wind Emperor mused, reaching the same conclusion.

"How will it be contested?"

Mo Yu nodded and asked again. Although he already possessed one silver tower, if he had the chance to acquire this new one, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit when entering the Ancient Thunder Palace.

"It seems they will go with the most conventional method—an auction. The highest bidder wins," the man replied.

Mo Yu nodded. Given the delicate balance between the factions, this was likely the fairest way to handle it. However, the final ownership of the silver tower could still lead to underhanded conflicts later.

With this crucial information, Mo Yu and Wind Emperor immediately stood up and left the tavern. As Mo Yu looked toward the central area of East Gang City, dark clouds slowly gathered there, hinting at an approaching storm.

Staring in that direction, Mo Yu smiled faintly and stepped forward.

Tomorrow, he would finally get a good look at the true powerhouses of Heavenly Thunder Continent.

The Next Day

By the time dawn arrived, East Gang City was already in an uproar. The commotion caused by the gathering of top-tier experts the previous day, combined with the news of the mysterious silver tower from the Ancient Thunder Palace, had spread throughout the city, attracting immense attention.

The factions gathered in the extreme eastern land all aimed to explore the Ancient Thunder Palace ruins. However, due to the chaotic spatial environment in the depths of the region, even powerful individuals dared not recklessly venture inside.

Thus, most were waiting in the shadows for the right opportunity. The sudden appearance of a silver tower from the Thunder Palace was enough to ignite everyone’s interest.

Even though many understood that such a valuable artifact would be coveted by top-tier factions, there was always a glimmer of hope.

What if fortune smiled upon them?

If fate truly granted them this opportunity, they might rise to prominence overnight, becoming a legendary figure in Heavenly Thunder Continent, commanding attention from all sides.

With this mindset, as the second day arrived, the sky above East Gang City filled with the sound of rushing winds. Countless figures surged toward the city’s central district, a vast crowd converging upon a single location.

At the heart of the city stood an ancient auction house, long abandoned but now reactivated. The event’s popularity rivaled even the grandest auctions in the major cities of Heavenly Thunder Continent.

The auction hall itself was a massive pavilion with three floors. The lower level was for ordinary attendees, while the higher floors offered better views, more luxurious seating, and greater comfort, allowing occupants to overlook the entire venue.

On the third floor of the auction house, Mo Yu and Wind Emperor had already taken their seats. Mo Yu lightly patted the soft carpet beneath him, woven from Ice Fire Mink fur. The sensation was so plush that he nearly sank into it, an unrivaled comfort.

Such luxuries were clearly the work of his subordinates. As the master of the Thunder Prison, Mo Yu naturally had no need to concern himself with such trivialities.

"Who is organizing this auction?" Mo Yu asked lazily as he lay back.

Wind Emperor smiled and replied, "It seems to be a local faction, not particularly powerful. Neither the Thunder God Palace nor any of the top-tier forces are directly involved. After all, no one wants a rival faction to host the auction and manipulate the proceedings. To ensure fairness, they collectively agreed to let a local power handle it."

Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded lightly.

As they spoke, the atmosphere within the auction house suddenly became electrified. Mo Yu’s gaze swept across the room, and he saw numerous groups entering from the entrance—each one representing a top-tier power of Heavenly Thunder Continent...
