Chapter 258: The Wolf King's Cave and a Tremendous Gain
In the sky above, dazzling silver lightning occupied half the sky. The silver-white light, like a crescent moon, shot out directly, colliding fiercely with the Storm Wolf's energy blast.
Both attacks carried extremely sharp energy, causing the space along the way to ripple and tear apart. The terrifying destructive power struck fear and awe into the students and ordinary Storm Wolves below.
As the silver and green lights reflected in countless eyes, the two terrifying attacks were about to clash, like two meteors crashing into each other!
At the moment when the two attacks were about to collide, everyone's hearts tightened. Who would win in this terrifying battle?
In the midst of the crowd's anticipation and anxiety, the silver-white lightning and the giant green wolf finally smashed into each other in mid-air.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous roar, as everyone cautiously avoided the aftermath of the collision, all eyes were drawn upward. They saw a scene in the sky that looked like two masses of clashing colors.
Although the clash seemed subdued, keen observers noticed that the space where the two forces collided had become severely distorted.
"What terrifying energy. I can't believe how powerful the Earth-rank battle technique that Cousin Mo Yu used is." Xiao Yan's usually calm face showed a trace of surprise.
"Strange, this boy's mastery of battle techniques has reached such an extraordinary level. Even I couldn't use an Earth-rank technique so flawlessly. Your cousin is a real freak. Now I believe that even the Snake Sovereign couldn't have trained a disciple like him," Yao Lao remarked within Xiao Yan's mind.
Unlike ordinary techniques, Earth-rank techniques harness the power of nature to enhance their strength. This is why only strong warriors above the Dou Wang rank can unleash the full power of Earth-rank techniques, as they are the only ones capable of controlling natural energy.
Having also used Earth-rank techniques before, both Xiao Yan and Yao Lao understood this clearly.
Yet, Mo Yu, only a Dou Ling at barely twenty years old, could wield such techniques with such perfection and ease. It was truly terrifying.
As the shocked gazes from the audience lingered, a faint hissing sound could be heard from the energy vortex in the sky. The silver and green lights, like two massive clouds, blocked the sky above the plaza, each trying to swallow the other in their fierce clash.
Countless eyes remained fixed on the sky, waiting for the result of the collision between the two terrifying energy masses.
Under everyone's watchful gaze, the silver and green energies, which had been devouring and entangling each other, suddenly began to fluctuate violently, like boiling water. Then, under the confused stares of the crowd, the two energy masses suddenly expanded!
"Boom!"
Stunned, everyone watched as the two giant energy masses expanded and then exploded with a thunderous crash.
In an instant, the shockwave from the explosion flattened the peaks of the distant valley, and even the clouds in the sky were split open by the force.
After the explosion, Mo Yu quickly retracted his Purple Cloud Wings and landed on the ground to avoid the terrifying aftermath.
His eyes were fixed on the two massive energy masses in the sky. After firing the thunderous spear, Mo Yu seemed completely drained, his face pale as paper, his body swaying.
If not for his strong physique and the black spear supporting him, he might not have been able to stand. Clearly, the "Nine Heavens Thundercloud Split" had drained the last drop of Dou Qi from his body.
Compared to Mo Yu, the Wolf King seemed to fare a little better, though it was also forced to retreat rapidly. Several wounds appeared on its massive body, and its previously pristine white fur was now scorched black by the lightning.
"Damn human, you must die today!"
Feeling the severity of its injuries, the Wolf King glared with blood-red eyes, roaring with murderous intent as it fixed its gaze on Mo Yu.
"It seems that dealing with a fifth-rank magical beast is still beyond my ability," Mo Yu said bitterly, looking at the enraged Wolf King.
Although he had relied on two Earth-rank techniques and his five-star Dou Ling power to barely fight the Storm Wolf King, actually defeating or killing it was still far beyond his capabilities.
"Forget it. I've pretty much gauged my own strength. Now, I'll need your help, little one."
Mo Yu thought that if he had used his soul power before the battle, he might have been able to kill the Wolf King. But he wanted to test his own strength and experience the full power of his Thunder Armor, so he was now left with very little Dou Qi.
To ensure success, he needed a helper to stall the Wolf King.
With that in mind, Mo Yu waved his sleeve, and a seven-colored shadow shot out, happily circling around him, hissing constantly.
"Little one, stop it," Mo Yu said, pointing at the Wolf King.
"Hiss!"
Hearing Mo Yu's command, the Heaven-Devouring Python first glanced warily at the Storm Wolf King, then let out a hiss. A faint seven-colored light suddenly burst from its body.
With the appearance of the seven-colored light, the small snake's body rapidly swelled in size, transforming into a massive creature over ten meters long in the blink of an eye.
In the sky, the Heaven-Devouring Python wriggled its massive body. Its dazzling eyes fixed on the Wolf King below, and as its forked tongue flicked, the very space around it seemed to ripple.
"It's the Seven-Colored Heaven-Devouring Python," Xiao Yan muttered, not far away.
The Heaven-Devouring Python was a creature Xiao Yan had encountered when he first subdued the Green Lotus Core Flame. However, since it had bonded with Mo Yu, and given the threat posed by Queen Medusa, Xiao Yan had decided to give the snake to Mo Yu. Thus, he was familiar with it.
Seeing their leader unleash such a creature, the members of the Mo Clan cheered loudly.
No one could have imagined that Mo Yu, not only powerful, also carried a fifth-rank battle pet with him. It was no wonder he dared to attack the Storm Wolves' territory with such confidence.
With the Heaven-Devouring Python appearing, Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After resting for about ten seconds, he regained a bit of his strength. Then, with a fierce flap of his wings, he shot like a black shadow toward the valley.
As Mo Yu moved, the Storm Wolf King and the other wolves noticed and immediately roared in fury, charging to intercept him.
Although the Wolf King was incredibly fast, the Heaven-Devouring Python was even faster. Before the Wolf King could reach Mo Yu, a dazzling burst of seven-colored light appeared in front of it.
A massive tail, surrounded by radiant light, descended from the sky and slammed into the Wolf King's body with immense force, sending it crashing into the mountain wall.
"Boom!"
The Wolf King smashed into the mountain wall, leaving a deep crater. Cracks spread across the wall like a spiderweb, nearly splitting half the mountain.
"Howl!"
The enraged Wolf King roared, its blood-red eyes glowing even brighter. Storm energy began to gather around its body, tearing the very air apart. Its fanged mouth opened wide, condensing a massive vortex of wind energy.
With a furious howl, the Wolf King shot the wind vortex toward the Heaven-Devouring Python in the sky. The vortex tore a faint azure trail through the void as it hurtled toward the snake.
In the sky, the Heaven-Devouring Python stared at the incoming vortex. With a burst of seven-colored light, it collided head-on with the vortex.
A deafening explosion echoed through the mountains.
As the Wolf King and the Heaven-Devouring Python fought, the ordinary Storm Wolves also noticed Mo Yu's intentions. At the Wolf King's command, they quickly rushed toward him, intending to stop this intruder.
But just as the wolves were about to catch up to Mo Yu, a dozen figures appeared, forming a wall behind him, blocking the Storm Wolves.
"Boss, go ahead to the Wolf King's cave! These wolves are nothing to us," said Gong Jun and Li Qing, looking at Mo Yu with admiration.
Having witnessed Mo Yu's battle with the Storm Wolf King, everyone in the Mo Clan, including the captains, was now in awe of him.
"Thanks, I'll leave it to you guys," Mo Yu nodded, turning and heading toward the Wolf King's lair.
The Storm Wolves bared their fangs and rushed at Mo Yu, but were stopped by the Mo Clan members. Thanks to their speed-enhancing Shadow Boots, the Mo Clan held their ground.
With the help of the Heaven-Devouring Python and the Mo Clan, Mo Yu finally made his way into the valley.
With the aid of the firelight, Mo Yu realized that the valley was much larger than expected. It was filled with trees and scattered rocks, but no other creatures, as they had likely been driven away by the Storm Wolves.
"This valley is quite complex. It might take some time to find the Jade Blue Crystal," Mo Yu muttered to himself as he hovered in the air, flying deeper into the valley.
After about ten minutes of flight, Mo Yu suddenly stopped. Up ahead was the end of the valley, and illuminated by the firelight, he spotted a dark cave.
"Is this it?" Mo Yu murmured as he gently flapped his wings, flying down toward a large rock outside the cave.
Taking a deep breath, he caught a faint whiff of a beastly scent, similar to that of the Storm Wolf King.
"This must be the Storm Wolf King's lair. Since it values the Jade Blue Crystal so much, it shouldn't be far from here."
With this thought in mind, Mo Yu sent a wisp of crimson lightning into the cave, letting it randomly zap around. After confirming there was no danger, he confidently stepped inside.
The cave was surprisingly spacious, enough to accommodate the large Storm Wolf King. The high ceiling was over ten meters tall, and the ground was strewn with rocks and tufts of white fur.
Being cautious, Mo Yu summoned a total of twenty crimson lightning bolts, spreading them out around him to light the way as he ventured deeper into the cave.
After about ten minutes of walking through the dark, winding passages, Mo Yu finally spotted a faint white glow ahead. His heart leaped with excitement as he quickened his pace. As he got closer, the white glow grew larger, eventually revealing a large white-lit chamber.
Standing at the entrance, Mo Yu took a deep breath before stepping inside.
As soon as he entered the chamber, he was dazzled by what he saw, his face showing surprise.
The Wolf King's lair was filled with magic cores of various sizes and colors, all of which were at least of the third rank.
Beside the magic cores were some rare treasures of nature, including rare herbs and materials. Clearly, these were the Storm Wolf King's collection.
Though the Wolf King's treasure didn't interest him much, his eyes sparkled when he noticed a multicolored vine in the corner of the cave, emanating a strange soul energy.
"A Seven-Colored Ancient Vine!"
To his surprise, in this Wolf King's cave, he found the third primary material needed to forge the Soul-Fusion Holy Cup. How could Mo Yu not be overjoyed?
With this Seven-Colored Ancient Vine, along with a sixth-rank soul-type magic core, Mo Yu could immediately begin forging the Soul-Fusion Holy Cup.
Quickly storing the vine, Mo Yu's gaze shifted to a large blue stone nearby.
Half-buried in the ground, the top of the stone had a spacious platform, and sitting atop it was a massive blue crystal.
His eyes locked on the giant blue crystal, Mo Yu couldn't help but smile with excitement. He knew that this Jade Blue Crystal, which was as big as three heads, would significantly enhance his Flash Void Thunder Strike technique.
