Chapter 836 - 834: Purple-Gold Ape Pattern, Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body

The tension in the grand hall was palpable.

Xiao Tian’s gaze locked onto Mo Yu, lightning flickering within his pupils. He scrutinized Mo Yu from head to toe before lightly shaking his head. "You are not my match."

As his words fell, numerous shadows flickered behind him. In an instant, over a dozen figures emerged—each one a Ninth Grade Supreme powerhouse.

Clearly, as the Young Master of the Thunder Spirit Clan, Xiao Tian was far from alone.

The overwhelming disparity in forces fueled Xiao Tian’s confidence. He stared at Mo Yu and said flatly, "If you put it down now, we can pretend nothing happened. You may leave unharmed."

Mo Yu’s gaze remained calm as he met Xiao Tian’s eyes. His lips curved slightly. "I think that’s a line I should be saying to you."

The Thunder Spirit Clan was indeed powerful, but Mo Yu felt no fear. If things followed the natural course, the Fire Spirit Clan and Ice Spirit Clan would suffer devastating losses at the hands of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong in the future.

If the Thunder Spirit Clan was intent on causing trouble, Mo Yu wouldn’t mind taking a page from their book and making an example of them.

Xiao Tian’s brow furrowed slightly at Mo Yu’s response.

He found it amusing—someone who had only recently stepped into the Ninth Grade Supreme speaking to him in such a manner. It had been a long time since he encountered something this absurd.

"So, you refuse?" Xiao Tian’s voice grew colder.

"Yes, I refuse." Mo Yu answered nonchalantly.

Xiao Tian sighed, shaking his head as he patted a nearby stone pillar. "What a pity... You are indeed strong. But I am stronger."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister smile crept onto his lips. He took a step forward, and in that instant, a boundless, ocean-like spiritual energy erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire hall.

Thunderous arcs crackled within that raging power, shrouding the entire space.

Xiao Tian’s strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Ninth Grade Supreme. He had essentially stepped into the peak of this level. Combined with his heritage, he was virtually invincible among his peers.

In his eyes, Mo Yu, no matter how skilled, was no match for him.

Mo Yu observed the storm-like spiritual energy surging around Xiao Tian, his brows lifting slightly.

This was the true strength of a powerhouse from a supreme clan. Though Mo Yu could fight across realms, it was usually against ordinary opponents. Against someone like Xiao Tian, a figure brimming with heritage and cultivation, the battle would not be easy.

However...

It was just a little troublesome.

Mo Yu’s grip tightened around the Primordial Golden-Banded Staff. A surge of terrifying power spread from his arm as he stared at Xiao Tian, veins bulging like coiling dragons. A savage aura emanated from him.

Then, with a flicker, Mo Yu vanished. The Primordial Golden-Banded Staff swept through the air, leaving a dark streak as it smashed down toward Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian’s eyes remained indifferent. He clenched his palm, and a silver spear materialized in his grasp. Lightning coursed through its sleek body like flowing molten thunder.

Clang!

The silver spear stabbed forward, seemingly fragile, yet it halted the Primordial Golden-Banded Staff in midair. The impact barely bent the spear’s shaft.

Xiao Tian’s first move displayed the terrifying strength of the Thunder Spirit Clan’s Young Master.

Buzz!

With a sudden flick, the silver spear trembled, unleashing a powerful shockwave that forced the Primordial Golden-Banded Staff backward. At the same time, Xiao Tian thrust his spear forward with frightening precision.

Boom!

As the spear lunged, a massive silver lightning arc shot forth like a roaring dragon, cutting through the air toward Mo Yu.

The sky lit up as the blazing thunder tide surged, carrying a destructive force that could obliterate all in its path.

Mo Yu’s expression turned solemn. Behind him, space twisted, and the shadow of an Ancestral Ape faintly emerged. He channeled his energy into the Primordial Golden-Banded Staff and swung it downward.

The cudgel clashed with the incoming lightning wave, unleashing a chaotic storm of energy. Lava-like arcs of electricity splashed in all directions, resembling a torrential thunderstorm. The sheer force distorted space itself.

Thunderous currents surged violently. Mo Yu was forced back several steps. His Primordial Golden-Banded Staff crackled with electricity, its surface covered in arcs of thunderous light. The terrifying energy attempted to corrode it, but in the end, it was neutralized by the cudgel’s primordial might.

On the opposite side, Xiao Tian was also pushed back a few paces. His palm tingled with numbness as he frowned slightly.

Only now did he truly realize Mo Yu’s strength. Though he had only recently reached the Ninth Grade Supreme, his physical power alone already surpassed most warriors at this level.

"So, you follow the path of the physical body?" Xiao Tian muttered. His gaze sharpened.

"If this is all you have, then this fight is over."

His voice barely faded before he ascended into the air. His hands formed a series of complex seals, causing the vast sea of lightning behind him to surge violently. A colossal thunder handprint condensed, descending toward Mo Yu like a divine judgment.

"Thunder Sky Devil Palm!"

The massive thunder palm crashed down, its surface engraved with intricate lightning runes, exuding an overwhelming, destructive aura.

Seeing the terrifying lightning strike, Mo Yu narrowed his eyes. A smirk curled his lips.

The next moment, with a single thought, terrifying lightning erupted from within his body.

The sheer radiance of the explosion was blinding.

Boom!

Deep within Mo Yu’s Supreme Sea, over twenty Thunder Hearts shattered simultaneously. An endless stream of thunderous energy surged forth, pouring into his bones, muscles, and meridians.

Crack! Crack!

As the lightning fused into his body, his flesh began to transform. Strange thunder patterns crawled across his skin, burrowing deep into his bones like living creatures. The sight was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

"Such terrifying thunder energy..."

Mo Yu murmured in amazement.

He had long stored over twenty Thunder Hearts in his Supreme Sea, slowly refining them. But against an opponent like Xiao Tian, he had no reason to hold back.

Now was the time to devour them all and push himself to the next level!

However, the thunder energy contained within each of those Thunder Hearts was refined to an almost terrifying degree.

This thing was simply too nourishing—so much so that even Mo Yu’s current physique struggled to withstand it! He quickly looked down and saw streaks of lightning flickering beneath his skin, and at the same time, his body was slowly expanding.

Faced with such immense power, Mo Yu’s expression shifted slightly. The thunder energy within those twenty-plus Thunder Hearts was too overwhelming. If refined slowly, he could still handle it, but refining them all at once was clearly too reckless.

If he let all twenty-plus Thunder Hearts merge into his body, his physique might directly explode into a mist of blood.

As he pondered a solution, the next moment, the thunder energy unexpectedly surged toward his arms.

Seeing this, Mo Yu’s gaze flickered slightly before he focused his mind and activated the Ancestral Ape Divine Codex.

Crackle!

Lightning surged across his body. As he circulated the Ancestral Ape Divine Codex, the rampaging thunder energy gradually calmed down and began to coil around his arms, condensing into streaks of purple-gold ape patterns.

One, two, three... five... The patterns emerged one after another, and when the glow finally subsided, Mo Yu’s arms were already covered in eight purple-gold ape patterns.

Looking at the eight streaks of purple-gold ape patterns on his arms, Mo Yu’s expression grew serious—he could feel the immense power contained within them.

Cultivating the Ape Patterns was the first layer of training in the Ancestral Ape Divine Codex.

Ten Purple-Gold Ape Patterns was the peak attainable within the Supreme Realm. Reaching this level meant that even with just his physical strength, he could single-handedly battle 99% of peak Supreme powerhouses in the Great Thousand World. Now that Mo Yu had formed eight patterns, he had already placed half a foot into that pinnacle level!

Realizing this, Mo Yu couldn’t help but smile slightly—he hadn’t expected that refining over twenty Thunder Hearts would have such an unexpected benefit!

At the same time, a massive thunder palm, crackling with violent energy, rapidly expanded within Mo Yu’s pupils. However, just as it was about to slam into him, his right hand lifted, the eight Purple-Gold Ape Patterns flickering faintly before his fist struck forward, colliding head-on with the thunder palm.

Clang!

At the moment of impact, a metallic clang echoed, sparks scattered, and a visible shockwave rippled outward in a circular pattern from Mo Yu’s fist.

Boom!

The thunder palm was obliterated, yet Mo Yu’s expression remained completely indifferent. With a flick of his right arm, the Purple-Gold Ape Patterns transformed into a streak of purple-gold brilliance, streaking toward Xiao Tian’s chest like a bolt of lightning.

The overwhelming offensive forced Xiao Tian into a desperate retreat. His arms crossed before him, spiritual energy surged to shield his body, barely managing to block the terrifying power of the purple-gold streak.

However, the price was that his sleeves were instantly reduced to dust, and his arms were left covered in blood. Though the injuries weren’t severe, his disheveled appearance was unmistakable.

Xiao Tian was blasted hundreds of meters backward before he finally neutralized the impact of the purple-gold streak. But when he saw the blood dripping from his arms, his face turned an ominous shade of dark blue.

His expression was grim as he stared at Mo Yu. However, the latter, whose physical power had just surged once again, completely ignored his hostile gaze. With a flicker of his figure, Mo Yu charged forward once more, his Purple-Gold Ape Pattern-covered right palm lifting again.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian’s heart tightened in alarm. He hurriedly concentrated, unleashing his thunder spiritual energy, which rapidly condensed into a Thunder Spirit Shield around him.

Roar!

Yet, just as he was preparing to defend himself, Mo Yu’s hands suddenly formed seals, and the eight streaks of Purple-Gold Ape Patterns on his arms burst forth, materializing into a massive Primodial Ancestral Ape.

"Ancestral Ape Sky-Piercing Spear!"

A cold voice escaped Mo Yu’s lips as his hand seals shifted. The colossal Primodial Ancestral Ape instantly condensed into an enormous purple-gold spear.

Swish!

In a flash, the Purple-Gold Spear appeared above Xiao Tian and then descended ruthlessly.

Xiao Tian’s forehead twitched as beads of sweat formed—he hadn’t expected Mo Yu’s combat strength to be this fearsome! Without hesitation, he poured all of his spiritual energy into defense.

Under the gaze of the stunned crowd in the great hall, the Purple-Gold Ancestral Ape Spear carried an unmatched sharpness as it plunged downward. If struck, even someone as powerful as Xiao Tian would undoubtedly be injured.

Boom!

A violent surge of spiritual energy erupted in the sky, waves of thunderous energy rolling outward. Every pair of eyes in the hall was locked onto that point of impact.

Mo Yu’s deep eyes were also fixed on the place where the thunderous spiritual energy had exploded. Moments later, his eyebrows moved slightly.

As the overwhelming thunder energy gradually dissipated, the pupils of Xuan Luo and the others shrank sharply.

Within the dispersing thunderous glow, an enormous figure emerged. That figure was entirely pitch-black, its massive body crackling with destructive thunder energy, exuding an aura of annihilation. From a distance, it looked like an incarnation of raging thunder descending upon the world.

Mo Yu’s eyes locked onto the figure flickering with different strands of thunder energy as he murmured, "Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body..."

"It’s actually the Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body!"

Not far away, Xuan Luo and the others exclaimed in shock.

The Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body ranked forty-second among the ninety-nine Supreme Dharma Bodies. Its difficulty in cultivation was incredibly high—just condensing the Destruction Thunder required an immense amount of resources. Even if an ordinary expert obtained it, mastering it would be a near-impossible feat.

It was only because Xiao Tian was the Young Master of the Thunder Spirit Clan that he had the resources to cultivate the Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body successfully.

Any Supreme Dharma Body ranked within the top fifty belonged to an entirely superior tier. And the Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body, ranked forty-second, was unquestionably fearsome.

Atop the head of the Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body, thunder surged, and Xiao Tian’s figure flickered into existence. His expression was dark as he stared at Mo Yu, a glint of murderous intent flashing deep within his eyes.

He hadn’t expected to be forced into revealing his Supreme Dharma Body first!

"Damn bastard..."

Xiao Tian gritted his teeth, his gaze filled with fury. His opponent’s terrifying physical strength had left him with no choice but to activate his Supreme Physique as a defensive measure.

However, despite his anger, Xiao Tian also became much more cautious. At this moment, he was finally going all out.

Huff...

Standing atop his Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body, Xiao Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the rage on his face. His gaze grew colder, gradually returning to its usual indifference.

"If you want to defeat me, show me your true power. You won’t be the first so-called genius to fall before my Annihilation Thunder Dharma Body!"

His cold gaze locked onto Mo Yu. Without hesitation, he pressed his hands together, and in an instant, the Destruction Thunder covering his Supreme Physique surged violently.

As he formed his seals, the Destruction Thunder erupted, condensing in the sky into a colossal Thunder Black Dragon—a terrifying entity radiating a faint aura of annihilation.

"Annihilation Thunder Dragon!"
