"I wonder how Prison Lord plans to help Cai Lin obtain the divine blood of the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python..."
Hearing Mo Yu agree without hesitation, Mang Cang narrowed his eyes slightly before speaking in a solemn tone.
Not only him, but all the members of the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan present turned their gazes towards Mo Yu, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Everyone knew that competition within the Divine Beasts Origin was extremely fierce. Not only did numerous spirit beast clans participate, but there were even rumors that the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan, a branch of the True Dragon Clan, was also interested in the divine blood of the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python.
Although Mo Yu was a formidable ruler despite his young age and possessed extraordinary strength, it was impossible for him to participate in the Divine Beasts Origin, which was meant for the younger generation. Otherwise, the other spirit beast clans would never allow it.
In response to these words, Mo Yu simply smiled faintly without explaining further. Instead, he turned his gaze to the black-robed figure behind him.
"Hehe, leave it to me..."
Noticing Mo Yu's gaze, the black-robed man smiled slightly. In the next instant, his figure flickered and suddenly appeared in the center of the plaza. Finally, he looked toward the two proud figures and cupped his fists with a smile.
"Gentlemen, under the orders of my lord, I have come to claim the last spot."
On the stone plaza, Zhao Xuan and Jia Qing, who were seated cross-legged, lifted their faces upon hearing these words. However, their eyes only swept over the black-robed man before they subtly curled their lips in slight disdain.
This unknown black-robed man wanted to challenge them? That was rather surprising. However... if he truly thought he could win, he was being rather naive.
Jia Qing and Zhao Xuan did not respond to the black-robed man directly. Instead, they turned their gazes toward Mang Cang, the patriach. The latter lowered his gaze slightly and, after a moment of contemplation, spoke indifferently:
"Since he has issued a challenge, then you two may face him."
Hearing Mang Cang's words, Jia Qing and Zhao Xuan were somewhat taken aback. His tone seemed to suggest that both of them should fight? Was this black-robed man, who appeared to be at the level of a Sixth-Grade Supreme, truly worthy of them both taking action?
Meanwhile, Cai Lin looked at the black-robed man, momentarily stunned. Then, her gaze shifted to Mo Yu, a thoughtful glint appearing in her beautiful eyes.
Because from the black-robed man, she sensed a strikingly familiar aura—one she could never mistake...
Yet, what puzzled her was why this aura appeared on someone else.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me. There won't be any problems," Mo Yu reassured her with a smile, gently patting her delicate hand.
"Mm, I trust you," Cai Lin replied with a slight smile, setting aside her doubts for now.
She didn't know what kind of plan Mo Yu was playing at, but over their time together, she had learned that as long as he was involved, nothing was ever a problem. That trust had been built over countless experiences…
"Zhao Xuan, you lost to me by half a move last time. This time, you go first," Jia Qing said lazily, glancing at Zhao Xuan with a smirk.
Although Mang Cang's words were ambiguous—as if allowing them both to attack together wouldn't violate the rules—Jia Qing clearly didn't even consider that option.
What a joke. Having both of them fight against a mere Sixth-Grade Supreme human? Even if they won, what was there to be proud of?
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan's eyelid twitched slightly, his expression darkening. Last time, Jia Qing had merely gotten lucky. If they had truly fought to the end, it would have been difficult to determine a victor. Yet, this guy was acting so smug...
Although irritated, Zhao Xuan didn't bother arguing. After all, he already found this Thunder Prison outsider to be quite annoying.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Xuan slowly stepped forward under the countless gazes of his fellow clan members. Eventually, he stopped a hundred meters in front of the black-robed man.
"Even though you want to challenge us, I must tell you—fighting you is nothing more than using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken."
As his words fell, Zhao Xuan wasted no time. He suddenly stepped forward, and in an instant, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body like a raging storm. This energy carried an extreme chill, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
A layer of frost rapidly spread outward from Zhao Xuan's feet, covering a large portion of the plaza within mere moments…
Sensing the immense spiritual energy radiating from Zhao Xuan, the black-robed figure's eyes narrowed slightly. As expected of a genius from the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan—his power was indeed impressive.
"Mo Yu, Zhao Xuan is a Five-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python with extreme cold attributes. He is at the Half-Step Seventh-Grade Supreme level. Your subordinate..." Cai Lin said with a hint of concern.
"Hehe, don't worry. This time, I've arranged for you a powerful assistant. You can trust him just as you trust me," Mo Yu said with a knowing smile.
Cai Lin was momentarily taken aback, then softly muttered to herself, "Trust him like I trust you..."
While Cai Lin pondered those words, the black-robed figure's eyes sharpened drastically. The calmness from before vanished, replaced by a fierce intensity. His arms hung loosely at his sides, his posture as steady as an iron mountain. Yet, an imposing aura radiated outward.
Behind him, space rippled slightly as his Supreme Sea faintly emerged. His spiritual energy spread out, instantly dissolving the frost that had invaded his hundred-meter domain.
"Oh? You do have some skill, after all..."
Noticing the surge of spiritual energy from the black-robed figure, Zhao Xuan smiled faintly. With a flick of his finger, countless snowflakes began drifting down from the sky.
Boom!
In the next instant, Zhao Xuan's body suddenly exploded into a flurry of snowflakes.
At the same moment, the black-robed figure's gaze sharpened, and his body instantly retreated. Terrifying power erupted from within him, his muscles swelling like coiled dragons, brimming with explosive strength.
Whoosh!
As the black-robed figure attempted to retreat from the falling snow, the snowflakes behind him suddenly accelerated. Then, they rapidly condensed, forming a ghostly silhouette that materialized in an instant!
Swish!
Amidst the falling snowflakes, a chilling beam of light tore through space, streaking toward the back of the clone with lightning speed.
The attack came swiftly and unexpectedly. Even with the clone's reflexes, he couldn't turn in time to defend himself. All he could do was brace as the cold light struck his back with immense force.
"Sizzle!"
The chilling light condensed into a slender finger, from which delicate snowflakes drifted down. A piercing cold aura spread silently, sharp enough to pierce through space itself.
Zhao Xuan's figure appeared behind the clone, his fingers still poised in the striking motion.
He watched as a layer of frost rapidly spread from the clone's back, forming thick layers of ice that threatened to engulf him completely. If the ice fully encased him, he would be utterly immobilized, his fate entirely in Zhao Xuan's hands.
Seeing his attack land successfully, Zhao Xuan shook his head in disappointment. "Pathetic… utterly pathetic."
Boom!
However, the moment his words fell, an eruption of power burst from within the clone's body, akin to a volcanic explosion. A violent energy wave swept outward, shattering the layers of ice in an instant.
Zhao Xuan was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, but before he could react and unleash a killing blow, he sensed an overwhelming force surging through his fingertips—the ones still touching the clone's back.
In that fleeting moment, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a massive ape-like figure roaring skyward, its towering presence flashing before his eyes.
Bang!
A tremendous force blasted Zhao Xuan backward. As he was sent flying, the domineering energy surged toward him once again. The clone, now resembling a rampaging giant ape, charged forward and slammed a palm toward Zhao Xuan's chest. The terrifying force behind the strike distorted the surrounding space with ripples.
"You dare to engage in close combat with me? Courting death!"
Yet, instead of panic, Zhao Xuan sneered.
After all, he possessed the body of a divine beast. His physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary human experts at the same level. For this black-robed figure to charge at him instead of keeping his distance was nothing short of suicidal.
The same thought crossed the minds of the surrounding Heaven Swallowing Python Clan members. They watched the battle unfold with mocking smiles, convinced of the clone's imminent demise.
Boom!
Zhao Xuan curled his hands into claw-like forms, mimicking snake fangs. At his fingertips, snowflakes manifested and spun at high speed, their sharp edges slicing through space itself.
As his terrifying palm strike howled forward, it clashed directly with the clone's attack.
Boom!
The instant their strikes met, both Zhao Xuan and the clone shuddered slightly from the impact. However, the clone's expression remained calm and composed.
Zhao Xuan, on the other hand, was taken aback. His claw strike was devastatingly sharp—capable of shredding even peak Sixth Grade Supremes. Yet, upon impact, he felt as if he had struck solid metal, the recoil sending a jolt of pain through his fingertips.
"How is his physical body this strong?!"
Shock rippled through Zhao Xuan's mind. His divine beast physique granted him immense power, enough to shatter mountains with a single motion. And yet, here he was, unable to overpower a mere Sixth Grade Supreme human?
"I refuse to believe you can keep this up for long!"
Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed coldly. He assumed the black-robed figure was merely forcing himself to endure. Without hesitation, he unleashed a surge of boundless spiritual energy. His claw attacks, now infused with a blizzard of icy remnants and afterimages, swept forward like a tidal wave.
Boom! Boom!
Yet, in the face of Zhao Xuan's ferocious assault, the clone's expression beneath the black robes remained sharp and fearless. He did not retreat.
Boom! Boom!
In the next instant, a crimson, flame-like energy burst forth from the clone's body, flooding the surroundings like a raging tide. From afar, it seemed as though he were engulfed in a sea of fire.
And within that blazing aura, a towering ape stood atop a mountain, beating its chest and letting out a thunderous roar, exuding a power capable of tearing apart the heavens and earth.
The clone had activated his divine beast physique. Ever since he refined and fused with the blood essence of the Heaven-Shaking Force Ape, his physical body had become comparable to that of an actual divine beast.
Zhao Xuan may have been born with the body of a divine beast, but the clone's refined physique was no less formidable. Even when facing a genuine divine beast, he would not cower.
A primal, bestial aura seeped from the clone's body, filling the battlefield with an oppressive presence.
His gaze turned sharp, his pupils glowing blood-red like those of a wild beast. In the next moment, his palm strike surged forward once more, clashing head-on with Zhao Xuan's relentless assault.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the grand stage, the two figures collided like raging storms. Each clash sent deep, resonant tremors through the air.
The sheer force from their blows generated visible shockwaves, distorting the space around them with each impact.
All around the battlefield, countless spectators watched in astonishment as the two warriors clashed like wild beasts. The mockery in their eyes slowly faded, replaced by widening expressions of shock.
Because they could see it clearly—amidst this savage contest of pure physical strength, the black-robed figure showed no signs of retreat. Instead, with every collision, he became even fiercer!
This human, relying solely on his physical body, had actually managed to hold his ground against Zhao Xuan?
How is this possible?!
Boom!
Amidst the stunned silence, the battle reached a climax. The two figures hurled their fists forward, their devastating forces colliding in an earth-shaking impact.
A massive shockwave erupted, fracturing the ground beneath them.
Both figures were sent flying, skidding across the stone platform, their feet digging deep grooves into the surface.
The surrounding spectators were frozen in place, their gazes locked onto the battlefield. Moments later, the silence was broken by gasps of disbelief.
Who would have thought that in a head-on clash of raw physical power, Zhao Xuan—despite his divine beast physique—had failed to gain the upper hand against the black-robed human?
It was now undeniable. The unknown figure they had previously dismissed possessed a body strong enough to rival that of a true divine beast!
His strength was utterly shocking.
Outside the battlefield, Jia Qing narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed the scene. A faint smile tugged at his lips as he muttered,
"Now this is getting interesting. But if you think that alone is enough to take the qualification from us… you're sorely mistaken."
He paused before speaking louder, his tone carrying a chilling weight.
"Show me your true form. Let's see if you're worthy of taking the Heaven Swallowing Python Clan's spot!"
