na stone and fire pearl.
The former was exchanged by Mo Yu with Blue Crystal in Beast Desolate City, and it is the growth item of the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning. It cost the young man a bottle of accompanying purple crystal source, which was quite valuable.
The latter is a rare Heaven and Earth item born in the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire's birthplace, containing terrifying power. It is a treasure for Body Refining and is extremely suitable for Lei Gang Body Cultivation.
Either of these two items would drive even a Dou Spirit expert crazy, yet Mo Yu calmly took them out.
Although he was being hunted by Mulan Valley, improving his strength was always Mo Yu's top priority.
The na stone can help the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning Breakthrough to the growth stage, and the fire pearl can even condense thunder runes and enhance Physical Body strength. Now that no one is disturbing him, it is a suitable time.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu opened his right hand, and a silver-white lightning bolt with a mysterious spatial power appeared in his palm.
As soon as the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning appeared, it moved wildly like a greedy beast, as if opening its bloody maw, wanting to devour these items.
Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled slightly and no longer stopped it. He picked up a low-grade na stone and threw it into the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning.
As soon as the low-grade na stone entered, it was immediately swallowed by the silver-white lightning. In a blink of an eye, the low-grade na stone turned into a pile of stone residue, but the spatial power contained within it was completely devoured by the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning.
After devouring a low-grade na stone, the silver light of the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning brightened slightly. As if it had tasted something good, the silver Profound Thunder's light intensified, still greedily craving these na stones.
Seeing this, Mo Yu took out all the na stones and threw them into the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning one by one.
As the na stones were thrown in, the silver Profound Thunder unceremoniously enveloped and devoured them. After two hours, all the na stones, except for the Advanced na stone, were completely devoured by the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning.
Having absorbed so much spatial power, the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning's size had also surged by a significant margin. As the lightning surged, the surrounding Void Realm also showed faint signs of shattering.
Now, the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning is just one step away from entering its second growth stage.
"This na stone trade was indeed correct. I imagine that after devouring this Advanced na stone, the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning will be able to exert considerable power," Mo Yu said with a light smile.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu no longer hesitated and directly threw this valuable na stone into the wildly craving Profound Thunder.
In a short while, the flashing silver light swallowed the black stone, which was the size of a washbasin. As time slowly passed, fine stone residue continuously fell off the Advanced na stone, while the powerful spatial power contained within it was gradually devoured and absorbed by the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning.
"As expected of an Advanced na stone, the spatial power it contains is indeed abundant," Mo Yu murmured as he watched the black stone, which was being frantically devoured and gradually shrinking.
Taking advantage of this free time, Mo Yu decided not to waste time and shifted his gaze to the fire pearl beside him.
With the rapid increase in strength, although the thirty thunder runes were powerful, they were gradually unable to keep up with Mo Yu's combat power. Now, taking this opportunity, it would be best to condense fifty thunder runes with the power of the fire pearl.
One hundred thunder runes constitute a Di-rank Dou Technique, and the power of fifty thunder runes is enough to rival an ordinary Profound Rank Advanced Dou Technique.
At that time, his combat power would experience another surge.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu no longer hesitated. He had obtained fifteen fire pearls at the birthplace of the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire. He then took one out and swallowed it.
As soon as the fire pearl entered his mouth, a scorching sensation immediately surged throughout Mo Yu's body. Being in a furnace was Mo Yu's only feeling at that moment.
After swallowing that fire pearl, a fiery sensation suddenly erupted from his lower abdomen, then transformed into streams of scorching heat, surging into the Meridians throughout his body. Due to the heat's temperature, a faint mist even appeared in his Meridians.
The temperature of the hot current gradually became more intense as its circulation speed increased, so much so that Mo Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly with each circulation.
The pearls condensed by the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, which devoured the Bloodline essences of thousands of Demonic Beasts, indeed possessed extraordinary energy, but the mixed violent Demonic Beast power truly made him suffer a bit.
However, although the hot current caused Mo Yu some pain, its effect was also extremely significant. As faint, scorching mist permeated out of the Meridians and then circulated within his body, Mo Yu could clearly feel that powerful energies were nourishing him within his body.
Demonic Beasts are known for their strong Physical Bodies and astonishing defensive power, and these fire pearls were precisely formed by the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire after devouring countless Demonic Beasts.
If an ordinary person were to swallow this fire pearl, they would likely be unable to withstand the violent Demonic Beast power contained within it. However, for Mo Yu, the violent Demonic Beast power within the fire pearl was precisely the source of power for him to strengthen his Physical Body.
A faint, misty energy of Demonic Beast power slowly ascended. When it encountered Meridians along the way, it adhered to them and quietly melted in, circulating through the Meridians once before transforming into pure energy and being infused into his flesh and blood.
Some energy mist also attached itself to bones and cells within the body. For this extremely pure energy, the bones and cells within the body also seemed to become much greedier, rapidly devouring the approaching energy mist with an imperceptible Creep speed.
And after devouring these energies, Mo Yu could clearly feel a shallow thunder rune gradually forming on his right arm, which was proof of the fire pearl's powerful effect.
Feeling a thunder rune appearing on his right arm, Mo Yu showed a smile and once again calmed his mind, while circulating the Lei Gang Body, doing his best to control the overflowing energy mist within his body.
He gathered them together, finally forming a surging energy flow. After completing a cycle within his body, it continuously flowed to various parts of his body for strengthening.
After being nourished by the Demonic Beast power of the fire pearl, Mo Yu could clearly feel his body becoming increasingly robust. Organs such as bones, muscles, and internal organs, which usually require arduous Cultivation to increase their capacity, were slowly strengthening.
At the same time, half an hour slowly passed, and the second thunder rune on Mo Yu's right arm also slowly appeared. At this point, less than half of the fire pearl's power had been absorbed.
The appearance of two thunder runes made Mo Yu's Physical Body much stronger again, exuding a terrifying Aura like a resting Demonic Beast.
As if sensing this powerful Aura, the surrounding Demonic Beasts also looked with awe at the cave where Mo Yu resided.
In the subconscious minds of these Demonic Beasts, this cave must house a powerful third-order magical beast, not a Mortal.
Inside the cave, Snake Uncle appeared at some unknown time. He glanced at the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning, whose spatial power was becoming increasingly concentrated, then looked in surprise at Mo Yu's increasingly powerful, Demonic Beast-like body, muttering in a low voice.
"What kind of Body Refining Cultivation Technique is this kid Cultivating? With a Mortal body, he's comparable to a Demonic Beast's body. This is no worse than some of the Body Cultivator Sects in Central Continent."
Shaking his head, Snake Uncle quickly formed a hand Seal, and then a purple-gold light emanated from his body, covering the cave.
This purple-gold light shield did not have strong energy fluctuations, but it perfectly concealed the Aura emitted by the young man, preventing him from being disturbed by Mulan Valley.
After doing all this, Snake Uncle observed the young man who was Cultivating. After confirming that he was fine, he returned to the beast ring.
As Snake Uncle retreated, the cave returned to its calm state, with only the crackling current sounds of the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning and Mo Yu's occasional soft groans echoing within the cave…
The next morning, as the sun slowly rose from the east, early birds began to forage for insects, and crystal clear dewdrops condensed on the Demonic Teeth Grass, all things began to awaken.
After a night, Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, and seeing the four additional thunder runes on his right arm, a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
One fire pearl, and the violent Demonic Beast power contained within it, had been refined by Mo Yu using the Lei Gang Body and transformed into his own flesh and blood power.
Although his Realm had not changed, his combat power had indeed increased by a significant margin.
"There are still fourteen fire pearls. It seems that condensing fifty thunder runes is more than enough."
Condensing four thunder runes in one night greatly boosted Mo Yu's confidence. At the same time, the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning beside him also caught Mo Yu's attention again.
After devouring the Advanced na stone, the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning now shone with dazzling silver light. As the lightning surged, the surrounding Void Realm also subtly fluctuated.
Just as Mo Yu was about to reach out and put the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning back into his body, the Profound Thunder suddenly flashed with silver light and disappeared from the young man's sight.
"Oh?" Seeing this scene, Mo Yu's expression froze, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he quietly looked to his left, not far away.
Sure enough, a moment later, the silver lightning flashed there.
"It seems it has already Breakthrough to the growth stage and can now traverse space on its own," Mo Yu mused, having already anticipated this.
The Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning controls spatial power, and its most important characteristic is its ability to traverse space. In his previous life, Mo Yu had expended great effort to subdue it. Now that it has Breakthrough to the growth stage, it has also displayed its terrifying aspect.
After playing with the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning for a while longer, Mo Yu finally brought it back into his body.
The next moment, a surge of power was suddenly fed back to the young man through the Flash Void Piercing Sky Lightning. After absorbing this power, although Mo Yu's Realm did not Breakthrough, his body's control over spatial power deepened significantly.
Feeling this familiar spatial power, Mo Yu shook his head. Currently, he was only a Five-Star Great Dou Shi. To truly master spatial power, he would need to reach the Dou Zun Realm, which was still a long way off for him.
After sighing, Mo Yu put the matter aside and took out another fire pearl from his storage ring. His current goal was still to first condense the Lei Gang Body to fifty thunder runes.
Unconsciously, time flowed like water, and two months slowly passed.
Black Beast City, a rather large city in the western province of the Mu Lan Empire, was not far from the border. At Mo Yu's speed, it took him three days to travel from his secluded cave to here.
After two months of seclusion, Mo Yu had devoured six fire pearls, successfully condensed fifty thunder runes, and his cultivation had even Breakthrough to Six-Star Great Dou Master by absorbing the power of the Vermillion Bird Sky-Burning Lightning sealed within the Shen Gang Seal in his body.
Upon emerging from seclusion, Mo Yu did not retreat back into the deep mountains and old forests. Instead, he came to Black Beast City on the border to rest and inquire about recent intelligence from Mulan Valley.
He strolled into the city, encountering no obstacles. Perhaps it was due to his purple Artifact Refiner robe, which made the suspicious soldiers dare not come forward to question him.
After entering the city, Mo Yu followed the street for a distance and then turned into a bustling tavern. Because of the Mu Lan Empire's fierce folk customs, such taverns were common only in the Mu Lan Empire, unlike the Jia Ma Empire, where they were rare.
In such taverns, all sorts of people gathered, and much of the Empire's unofficial news and intelligence circulated in these places.
Entering the tavern, Mo Yu was led by a waiter to a refined room on the second floor and ordered several famous small dishes.
"Hey, have you heard about Mo Yu's battle against the Little Beast King and the other two?" As Mo Yu rested quietly, a mysterious voice suddenly rose from a nearby table, causing Mo Yu to look over.
"Tch, you mean the young man named Mo Yu who defeated the Little Beast King and the other two, right? Wasn't that two months ago?" A man dismissively curled his lips at his still-mysterious companion.
"Ah, this guy is incredible. At such a young age, he's already done such earth-shshattering things. What will he be like when he grows up?"
The man took a big gulp of strong wheat wine and sighed with some envy. Which man doesn't have such a passionate dream of achieving something great? It's just that due to limitations in ability, many are destined to only fantasize.
Mo Yu listened to the conversation with some surprise, and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He hadn't expected that after two months of seclusion, this matter would have spread to the other side of the Empire.
"I didn't expect to be a celebrity in the Mu Lan Empire too," Mo Yu said self-deprecatingly, taking a sip of wheat wine.
The Little Beast King and the other two were nothing in his eyes, but in the Mu Lan Empire, they were truly top Geniuses, especially since Mo Yu fought one against three.
After resting for half an hour, Mo Yu, full and satisfied, stood up. Just as he was about to leave, the conversation from the table next to him once again made his expression change slightly.
"I just returned from Shanhe Pass. I heard that the Beast Desolate City Lord's private release of Mo Yu last time greatly displeased Mulan Valley, and even that City Lord suffered a lot of punishment.
Under the pressure of Mulan Valley, the Imperial Family made huge concessions, even sending out their only Dou Emperor expert to personally guard Shanhe Pass, just to block Mo Yu from escaping the Mu Lan Empire."
Hearing this, Mo Yu let out a soft exclamation, his expression changing slightly…
I might take a day or two off tomorrow and the day after.
