Mo Yu's words immediately drew the astonished gaze of everyone present.
A young man barely a few years into his cultivation, no matter how extraordinary his talent, still had limited time for training. Could he really believe he could defeat Yun Lan Sect's former sect leader, Yun Shan?
After all, Yun Shan wasn't just a veteran powerhouse with decades of renown; he had now ascended to Dou Zong!
Dou Huang and Dou Zong represented a major threshold—only upon reaching Dou Zong could one truly rise above the ordinary.
Even Yun Lan Sect's core disciples, along with Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma, were struck with disbelief at Mo Yu's audacious challenge.
Many already assumed that Mo Yu had lost his mind, overconfident in his talent and completely unaware of his limits.
Even Hai Bodong, from Mo Yu's own side, was baffled by his actions. Only Ling Ying, recalling a mysterious Dou Zun he'd encountered recently, appeared to have some inkling, his eyes filled with a hint of thoughtfulness.
Seeing his cousin step forward, Xiao Yan's usually calm face wavered slightly. Still, knowing Mo Yu's shrewd and unpredictable mind, he couldn't help but feel that his cousin might actually have a way to handle Yun Shan.
Thinking this, Xiao Yan was suddenly reminded of his slumbering master, Yao Lao. After obtaining the Seven Magical Green Spirit Saliva from the Nalan family, Xiao Yan had immediately tried using it to wake Yao Lao.
But his efforts had been in vain; Yao Lao still hadn't stirred from his slumber.
Had Yao Lao been awake, Xiao Yan wouldn't have been so powerless now, watching his cousin Mo Yu face this battle alone.
In the arena, Mo Yu was too focused to notice the varied emotions of those around him. He knew that with Yun Shan himself stepping in, it was his time to act.
After all, a Dou Zong was a rare force on the continent. Even if Ling Ying, Hai Bodong, and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python worked together, they still might not be able to match Yun Shan.
In the original story, Xiao Yan had only managed to leave Yun Lan Sect safely because of the Swallowing Python. During the fight with Yun Shan, it had accidentally awakened the soul of Queen Medusa. In its evolved form as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, Queen Medusa's strength was equal to that of a Dou Zong, and out of respect for her, Yun Shan had let Xiao Yan go.
But since Queen Medusa's soul awakening was unpredictable, Mo Yu couldn't control it. He couldn't count on Yun Shan beating the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python to provoke Queen Medusa's appearance.
And if her soul never awoke, would he simply watch as Yun Shan killed the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python?
With that thought, Mo Yu dismissed the idea.
Naturally cautious, he wasn't one to risk such uncertainty.
Moreover, he had previously obtained the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit for She Lao. Now, even against a Dou Zong, he wasn't entirely powerless.
"So, you're Mo Yu? Capable of defeating Yun Lan—indeed, you have some talent. In fact, it's been nearly a century since Yun Lan Sect has seen a disciple of your caliber.
"But talent is not the same as strength. If you think you're ready to face me, you're sorely mistaken. But I'll grant you a lesson today, so you understand that the prestige of Yun Lan Sect is not to be challenged!"
Yun Shan gazed down at the young man before him with an intimidating majesty, declaring Mo Yu's punishment as if he ruled the entire empire.
With his recent advancement to Dou Zong, Yun Shan knew Yun Lan Sect could finally break free from the royal family's constraints and rise as the true power in the empire.
Mo Yu's face remained calm as water, giving no response as he slowly closed his eyes.
He knew that words alone wouldn't matter here; only with his fists could he change his situation.
Seeing Mo Yu's mysterious actions, Yun Leng was momentarily stunned before sneering. Facing the old sect leader with such casual disregard—this kid was seeking death!
Yun Shan's brows furrowed slightly. Though he didn't understand Mo Yu's behavior, if the boy sought death, he'd oblige.
Amid the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Shan split off a shadow clone that launched forward with a fist, carrying an energy so terrifying it made people's blood run cold, striking directly toward Mo Yu's head.
When Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and others caught sight of this shadow, their expressions grew graver. They realized that with their current strength, they couldn't even contend with Yun Shan's shadow.
A Dou Zong's power was truly terrifying!
Just as everyone thought Mo Yu was about to face certain death, an overwhelming surge of energy burst forth from Mo Yu, rippling through the sky. The shadow clone, which even Hai Bodong couldn't withstand, suddenly froze. With a dull thud, it shattered into nothingness, leaving the crowd in stunned silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the spot where the shadow had just dissipated. Even Jia Xingtian and the others looked somewhat dazed.
"This power…" Floating in mid-air, Ling Ying murmured, watching Mo Yu, his eyes wide with amazement at the immense power suddenly emanating from Mo Yu's body.
"To wield the power of the Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent… Mo Yu really is extraordinary. With such talent, he could easily be among the top five even within our clan."
Xiao Yan, equally stunned by Mo Yu's display of strength, muttered in awe, "Cousin Mo Yu… has his own trump card!"
"What's going on? Mo Yu's strength seems to have surged several levels all at once?" Fa Ma turned to Jia Xingtian in shock.
"I… don't know either, but this aura from him… it's stronger than mine."
Jia Xingtian smiled bitterly, his expression almost numb. He had already been astounded several times today by this youth, not yet twenty. Now, yet another bombshell left him utterly speechless.
Casting another glance at Xiao Yan, Jia Xingtian recalled how he'd been impressed when Xiao Yan had won the alchemist championship. Yet, his cousin was even more monstrous.
With a shake of his head, Jia Xingtian made up his mind: the royal family could not afford to be at odds with the Xiao Clan.
The Xiao Clan's Twin Dragons were far more powerful than the rumors had claimed…
Amid the chaotic scene, Yun Lan Sect's disciples gazed blankly at the sky, their expressions frozen in shock at Mo Yu's explosive display.
With the disappearance of the shadow, Yun Shan, the original, felt the connection break. He stared solemnly at Mo Yu, face dark.
As the overwhelming energy from Mo Yu slowly dissipated, it fully retreated into his body. His gaze, surrounded by a purple-gold radiance, swept coldly over Yun Shan, his voice echoing like thunder: "A Dou Zong is nothing special. Don't act like a frog in a well. Today, I will leave, and Yun Lan Sect doesn't have the strength to stop me."
Yun Shan's face darkened as he emitted an aura rivaling Mo Yu's, his voice deepening.
"It seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to harbor such terrifying power. No wonder you've been so fearless. But I imagine this power isn't truly yours, is it?"
Yun Shan's experienced gaze quickly deduced that Mo Yu's age alone made it impossible to possess such power independently.
"It doesn't matter whose power it is; it answers to me alone." Mo Yu raised a hand as an exotic purple-gold bloodline energy surged around him, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
"Hmph, boosting your strength with external means is nothing but a crooked path. I don't believe you can maintain it for long," Yun Shan sneered. "No matter your strength, you've injured our sect's elder. If I let you leave without consequence, where would Yun Lan Sect's honor stand in the Jia Ma Empire?"
"You're welcome to try."
Mo Yu's face was cold, a faint smirk playing at his lips. He showed no reaction to Yun Shan's words, his purple-gold energy surging once more from his hand.
