Since the incident in the cave, the past few days had built a subtle understanding between Mo Yu and She Lao. Letting She Lao take control of his body was no longer a concern for Mo Yu, nor did he worry about the possibility of being possessed.
After all, this wasn't a world of immortal cultivation, where possession was a common threat. On the Dou Qi Continent, it was exceedingly rare, and no instances of a strong person taking over another's body had ever been heard of.
Moreover, Mo Yu was human, while She Lao was of the snake-people race. Deep in Mo Yu's soul sea rested ten slumbering thunder soul, forming a protective armor around his spirit. Even a Dou Zun expert at their peak would find it impossible to seize control of Mo Yu's body.
After thinking it through, Mo Yu nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
As his eyes shut, a powerful aura, comparable to that of a Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang, suddenly surged from within the boy's body.
The increase in momentum continued for a moment before it gradually stabilized.
Sensing the rapidly growing aura, a strange, cold expression appeared on the normally calm face of the youth.
At this moment, it was She Lao who was in control of Mo Yu's body.
After taking control, She Lao, who had not experienced the feeling of having a physical form for a long time, couldn't help but stretch his limbs. However, when he sensed the depths of Mo Yu's soul sea, his expression changed slightly.
"What a strange soul sea. That space of silent death, resembling a sea of thunder, what exactly is it? Could it truly be the inheritance Mo Yu obtained in that ancient ruin?"
The terrifying aura within made even She Lao, a Dou Zun expert, shudder from the depths of his soul, while his curiosity about the youth's mysterious encounter only deepened.
"Never mind, for now, let's help this kid obtain the Ten Thousand Beast Flame..." Squinting slightly, 'Mo Yu' moved forward toward the wide corridor.
As the youth stepped in, the corridor began to flash with a crimson light. With the emergence of this red glow, the energy barriers within the corridor suddenly activated.
With their activation, an invisible force pressed down on Mo Yu's body, exerting pressure as if he were submerged under the depths of the ocean, making it nearly impossible to advance.
In the face of this, 'Mo Yu' remained unfazed. Bringing his hands together, he quickly formed a strange hand seal.
As the seal completed, a strange purple-golden glow enveloped his body, emitting an eerie and dazzling light that seemed to carry the power of an ancient bloodline.
With the appearance of this purple-golden light, the oppressive force surrounding him instantly dissipated, no longer able to hinder him.
In this state, he moved through the corridor like a fish in water, unaffected by the energy barriers. After about three minutes, he finally emerged from the corridor.
With the task completed, She Lao's soul slowly withdrew from the youth's body, allowing Mo Yu to regain control.
Mo Yu glanced back at the corridor he had passed through, breathing a sigh of relief.
Although his body had been under She Lao's control, Mo Yu could still sense the pressure exerted by the energy barriers within the corridor.
This pressure was such that even lower-ranked Dou Wang experts might have found it nearly impossible to traverse the corridor so easily.
Fortunately, She Lao had once been a Dou Zun expert and possessed the rare ancient bloodline of the Seven-Winged Purple-Gold Serpent. With such power, he could pass through the barriers effortlessly.
Thinking of this, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel grateful—truly, having an experienced elder by one's side was a great advantage. With She Lao's presence, he could handle situations much more confidently.
Now, Mo Yu could finally understand the ease with which Xiao Yan had navigated challenges—indeed, it felt like having a cheat code.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu turned around and looked at the hall before him.
He pushed open the large doors, revealing a hall that was not very spacious. It was surrounded by lush bamboo groves and blooming flowers, giving it a vibrant and beautiful appearance.
In the center of the hall stood numerous grand and imposing statues of the Lizard Serpent Clan's kings, used for ritual purposes.
"The aura of the Heavenly Flame..." Mo Yu took a deep breath. At this close distance, he could feel the presence of the hidden flame within the hall.
In his deep, dark eyes, a fervent flame flickered. Clenching his fists tightly, he thought to himself that, no matter what, he must acquire this Heavenly Flame—he had invested far too much for this opportunity.
The purple-golden glow gradually faded from his body as She Lao's voice sounded again, "Be careful. This hall serves as a sanctuary for the Lizard Serpent royalty. There may be hidden dangers here.
With Mu Lan Valley and the Lizard Serpent Clan currently focused on their battle outside, this is your chance to claim the Ten Thousand Beast Flame before they can react."
"Got it."
Mo Yu took a deep breath to calm himself, standing at the entrance of the hall for a moment before slowly stepping inside.
Walking along a path paved with special black jade stones, the quiet atmosphere was disturbed only by the faint sound of Mo Yu's footsteps against the floor.
Although She Lao no longer guided him directly, Mo Yu could still follow the faint trace of a unique fiery aura lingering in the air, leading him in the right direction.
He walked at a steady pace, turning down a few paths until his view suddenly opened up, revealing a broader space. As he rounded the corner, he quickly crouched down, hiding behind a statue and peering through the gaps to observe the open area at the center of the hall.
It was a circular clearing, with the surrounding bamboo and flowers neatly trimmed back. Smooth, small pebbles were scattered throughout, forming a small altar in the center.
The altar was adorned with numerous translucent crystals, with swirling white mist coiling around their surfaces. Even from a distance, Mo Yu could sense the mysterious spatial energy they contained.
"Void Ice Crystals..." Mo Yu's eyes locked onto the shimmering crystals, and he couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
On the Dou Qi Continent, only Dou Zun experts could harness spatial powers. For those weaker, it was nearly impossible to come into contact with such forces. Void Ice Crystals were a rare exception, as they contained a trace of spatial energy.
Many strong experts who couldn't reach the Dou Zun realm cherished Void Ice Crystals, using them to gain insight into spatial powers. Beyond that, the spatial energy within these crystals could also be used to protect valuable treasures within a family.
When Mo Yu raided the Mo Clan's treasury, the protective barrier around the Golden Beast Eyes was constructed using the spatial energy of Void Ice Crystals, adding to their immense value.
To find such a large quantity of Void Ice Crystals—half the size of a low-tier spatial ring—was truly astonishing.
Seeing this trove of Void Ice Crystals, Mo Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
If all went according to plan, devouring the Ten Thousand Beast Flame would allow the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to reach its peak state. Once it fully recovered, Mo Yu could then prepare to awaken the next Thunder Soul. At that point, the Void Ice Crystals would become immensely valuable for his plans...
After calming his excitement, Mo Yu suppressed his thoughts of future plans and refocused on the altar at the center. His gaze settled on a peculiar furnace, carved from the bones of an ancient magical beast.
At this moment, atop the beast bone furnace, a mass of crimson flame was slowly rising.
Gazing at the crimson flame, Mo Yu's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needlepoint. In his pitch-black eyes, an intense desire broke through all restraints and appeared unabashedly on his youthful, handsome face.
The crimson flame was highly spiritual, occasionally transforming into the shape of a lion, then into a swift red flame leopard, faintly revealing the forms of countless beasts.
Staring unblinkingly at the ever-changing crimson flame, Mo Yu's lips curled into a faint smile, and his eyes gleamed with undisguised heat.
At the same time, as if sensing its master's emotions, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder kept chirping within the boy's heart, its cries filled with deep greed.
"I've finally found you…" Mo Yu tightly pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed firmly on the mass of crimson flame.
Although he had never seen what the Ten Thousand Beast Flame looked like, the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder, formed from the essence of the Vermilion Bird itself, could vaguely sense a familiar aura of shared origin from the crimson flame, akin to that of beast souls and beast blood.
It seemed that using the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder to devour the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was indeed feasible!
After years of painstaking effort, this was the first time Mo Yu had seen such a close-up of an Heavenly Flame in the Dou Qi Continent.
Ranked alongside the Thunder Soul of his previous life's continent, the Heavenly Flames were extraordinary entities. Even though the Ten Thousand Beast Flame only ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame list, its power was not to be underestimated.
Of course, if its ranking were any higher, Mo Yu wouldn't dare to attempt such a dangerous operation as having the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder devour the flame.
That beast bone furnace was clearly no ordinary item either. Each time the crimson flame tried to escape its confines, a faint white barrier would suddenly appear and bounce the Heavenly Flame back inside.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. It seemed the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King had somehow found this furnace, perfectly suited for containing Heavenly Flames—a remarkable find.
Whatever he was thinking, a faint smile appeared on Mo Yu's lips.
Not only had he found the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, but the Void Ice Crystal and a furnace as a bonus—it was a major gain.
"Mo Yu, stop dawdling. Time is precious. Hurry up and collect the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and get out of here. Who knows what tricks the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King has up his sleeve? Once you take the flame, your whereabouts will likely be exposed," She Lao's voice reminded him in his mind.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression became serious as he realized the danger ahead.
The Ten Thousand Beast Flame was clearly something the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King intended to use for evolution, and once it was taken, the latter would undoubtedly sense it.
If the flame was discovered missing, even with the Elder Lion blocking him, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King would stop at nothing to rush here.
"Let's go all in…" Mo Yu thought to himself.
Even if his whereabouts would be exposed, he couldn't let the Ten Thousand Beast Flame slip away now that it was right in front of him.
Besides, with She Lao as his trump card, Mo Yu felt a growing sense of confidence.
With that in mind, he no longer hesitated. His fingers quickly tapped on his storage ring, and immediately, a faint golden glow began to rise from it, eventually floating before Mo Yu.
Within that faint golden glow was a perfect Fire Binding Net that rotated slightly, emitting a faint energy.
Long ago, Mo Yu had begun gathering materials to craft the Fire Binding Net for this very moment!
Holding the Fire Binding Net in his hand, he gently tossed it toward the Heavenly Flame in mid-air. As the net reached below the flame, a faint golden light spread from it, silently enveloping the Ten Thousand Beast Flame within the beast furnace.
Although the Fire Binding Net was only a third-grade weapon, it was unrivaled in trapping flames, and the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, ranked toward the bottom of the Heavenly Flame list, wasn't overly powerful.
Surprisingly, to Mo Yu's delight, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame didn't show any signs of resistance when faced with the net.
This gave Mo Yu a hunch: perhaps the net had been imbued with a trace of the Vermilion Bird's aura during its crafting, which is why the Ten Thousand Beast Flame didn't reject it.
As the Fire Binding Net gradually shrank, the Heavenly Flame was quietly drawn into the net without any resistance, leaving the furnace empty.
"Success…"
The successful capture of the Heavenly Flame exceeded Mo Yu's expectations. Staring at the crimson flame now trapped within the Fire Binding Net, his face lit up with joy.
His eyes were fixed on the small crimson flame within the net, and a trace of excitement flashed across his deep, dark eyes.
"Now, let's leave this city as soon as possible and find a quiet place to have your Thunder Soul devour the flame!" She Lao reminded in a low voice.
"Mm!"
Nodding heavily, Mo Yu knew this place was rife with danger, and he couldn't stay for long.
Devouring the flame with the Thunder Soul required a safe location, so he hurriedly stored the captured Heavenly Flame, the beast furnace, and the heap of Void Ice Crystals into his beast ring.
Although the powerful Heavenly Flame could burn everything inside the ring, Mo Yu wasn't worried now that the Fire Binding Net was suppressing it.
After packing everything up, Mo Yu's body trembled slightly. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, launching himself into the sky before madly dashing out of the palace.
At the very moment when Mo Yu had stored the Ten Thousand Beast Flame in his beast ring, the Black Lizard Demon Serpent King, who was outside the palace battling Elder Lion, suddenly sensed something. His triangular eyes filled with shock and fury as he glared at the palace, letting out a hoarse, enraged cry.
"Who dares steal this king's Ten Thousand Beast Flame!?"
