Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 164: Awakening the Third Mysterious Thunder

"Thunderous Silver Eyes..."

As Uncle Snake stared into Mo Yu's silver eyes, filled with the violent and terrifying energy of thunder, he couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. A cold sensation slowly rose from within him.

The Dou Qi Continent is vast, and with Uncle Snake's skills and experience, he had encountered various special physiques during his travels. Many of these were related to eye techniques.

For example, the seductive eyes of the Fox People, the Illusion Eyes of some eye technique families in the Eastern Continent, the Night Vision Eyes of the Dark Night Clan in the Northern Continent, and the famous Green Snake Three Flower Pupils that Qinglin possessed, known throughout the continent.

Even after witnessing so many mysterious and unique eye techniques, Uncle Snake still felt an unfathomable depth when facing Mo Yu's violent and terrifying silver eyes.

The silver thunder in Mo Yu's pupils did not last long before it gradually faded away. Once the thunder completely subsided, his eyes returned to their usual dark color. However, now his eyes, compared to before, had a subtle silver hue mixed in with the darkness, making them look incredibly eerie and mysterious.

It was clear that after his physique advanced, Mo Yu's silver eyes gained some unknown but significant benefits.

Mo Yu opened his eyes and slightly twisted his neck. Instantly, a series of crisp popping sounds echoed from his bones, and as he listened to these clear sounds, Mo Yu took a deep breath, a look of satisfaction and enjoyment spreading across his face.

"You sure know how to cause a scene every time you go into seclusion. It seems this time you've gained quite a bit from advancing your physique. Using the power of Mysterious Thunder to create the Heavenly Thunder Body... Who exactly is the high master who created the 'Extreme Spirit Thunder Technique'? I'm increasingly convinced that this is an otherworldly inheritance. And your eyes, they seem quite extraordinary. Is this the true power of the Heavenly Thunder Body?" Uncle Snake licked his lips excitedly as he curiously asked while observing Mo Yu's silver-glowing eyes.

Hearing this, Mo Yu's lips curled into a slight smile as he replied, "The 'Extreme Spirit Thunder Technique' is indeed incredibly profound. Borrowing the power of Mysterious Thunder to advance my physique was a thrilling process, but fortunately, it ended successfully. As for these eyes of mine, they are indeed very powerful, but this is only the first step in evolving my physique into the Heavenly Thunder Body. There are still two more important steps to go."

After speaking, Mo Yu felt the powerful thunderous energy contained within his eyes, and a sense of excitement surged in his heart.

The Heavenly Thunder Body was the super-strong battle physique that accompanied him to the pinnacle in his previous life. Now, in this life, being able to once again become the owner of the Heavenly Thunder Body made him feel incredibly excited.

Although this Heavenly Thunder Body was acquired through later efforts, there was no denying that the creator of the Extreme Spirit Thunder Technique was indeed a reclusive high master. Even though it was an acquired physique, it was in no way inferior to the original Heavenly Thunder Body.

However, the process of advancing this acquired physique was extremely dangerous and slow, with a total of three steps to complete.

The first step was awakening the Thunderous Silver Eyes, one of the key features of the Heavenly Thunder Body. These eyes had various powerful abilities. Although they could not create powerful and profound illusions like other eye techniques, they could make the user immune to all illusions. This alone was incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the Thunderous Silver Eyes could perceive fine details, observe minute changes, and accurately gauge an enemy's Dou Qi levels and exact strength, making them a super reconnaissance tool.

In addition to these subtle and numerous mystical abilities, the Thunderous Silver Eyes were also formidable as an offensive tool.

The Lightning Flash, once the Thunderous Silver Eyes reached a certain level of awakening, could launch spiritual attacks, directly using powerful thunderous energy to damage the opponent's fragile soul. This could be considered an extraordinary skill.

The Divine Thunder Annihilation Eye was another powerful offensive technique that could summon countless lightning bolts with the momentum to annihilate the world, destroying powerful enemies.

These two skills, one for internal spiritual attacks and the other for external powerful strikes, could be considered the two most formidable abilities of the Thunderous Silver Eyes.

As innate skills of the Heavenly Thunder Body, they were not restricted by any rank. This meant that the stronger Mo Yu's power became, the stronger these skills would be. Even when crossing over to higher realms, such as the Great Thousand World, their power would still be formidable, making them incredibly terrifying.

And this was just the first step in the evolution of the Heavenly Thunder Body. The remaining steps, the Thunder God's Body and the True Soul of the Heavenly Thunder, would reveal the true terrifying nature of the Heavenly Thunder Body...

After hearing Mo Yu's explanation, Uncle Snake's eyes flashed with surprise.

To think that these Thunderous Silver Eyes, which he already considered to be extremely formidable, even comparable to the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, were only the first step in the evolution of the Heavenly Thunder Body. One could only imagine how terrifying the fully evolved Heavenly Thunder Body would be.

Could it be that a Dou Emperor, a figure who hasn't appeared on the Dou Qi Continent for thousands of years, might emerge in the hands of this young man?

Thinking of this, Uncle Snake shook his head. The idea of a Dou Emperor was too distant and intangible. Even the top experts on the continent today hadn't shown signs of breaking through to the Dou Emperor level.

Though Mo Yu was exceptionally talented and had received a mysterious and extraordinary inheritance, achieving the level of Dou Emperor still seemed far off.

Pushing aside this unrealistic thought, Uncle Snake focused again on the young man's slightly glowing silver eyes, and as if something occurred to him, he pondered aloud, "Since these silver eyes are only the first step in evolving into the Heavenly Thunder Body, it means you need more Mysterious Thunder to help you further evolve. If that's the case, there must be more than one Mysterious Thunder in the inheritance you received, right?"

Hearing Uncle Snake's speculation, Mo Yu couldn't help but admire the sharpness of strong cultivators' minds. He smiled lightly and nodded but did not reply directly. Instead, he waved his right hand, and a faint white thunderbolt suddenly appeared in his hand.

This faint white thunderbolt had a very weak presence. Compared to the crimson thunderbolt, the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder, it was like a frail infant compared to a strong adult. However, excluding the difference in energy, this weak, faint white thunderbolt exuded a mysterious spatial power, unlike the fiery and violent nature of the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder.

"This is the power of space, which only Dou Zun experts can control. Could it be...?"

Seeing the faint white thunderbolt in Mo Yu's hand and recalling the spatial power he sensed when he entered the cave, Uncle Snake's expression changed, as if he had guessed something.

Noticing Uncle Snake's expression, Mo Yu chuckled and said, "To be honest, Uncle Snake, the Mysterious Thunder I inherited is indeed not just one. The Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder was only one of them. The Mysterious Thunder I have in my hand now is called the Flash Void Break Space Thunder, as you sensed earlier. It's a Mysterious Thunder that can control spatial power and traverse through space, also part of the inheritance I received. I apologize for hiding this before, but this secret is of great importance, so I hope you can understand."

Upon hearing Mo Yu's apology, Uncle Snake simply shook his head and said, "Everyone has their secrets; there's no need to apologize to me. Besides, if you weren't so cautious, I wouldn't have chosen to partner with you in the first place. If I'm not mistaken, the resting place of these Mysterious Thunders must be in the sea of consciousness in your mind. No wonder I felt a sense of fear. Mysterious Thunders are likely as formidable as Exotic Flames in that otherworldly place..."

Shaking his head in amazement, Uncle Snake suddenly smiled and said, "No wonder you were so interested in the Ethereal Ice Crystals in the Serpent King's Palace before. You must have had these in mind to feed your Mysterious Thunder. The power of space is something only Dou Zun experts can control. I wonder how much control you, with the help of this Flash Void Break Space Thunder, have managed to achieve after consuming so many Ethereal Ice Crystals?"

"Hehe, why don't you see for yourself, Uncle Snake?" Mo Yu smiled as he slowly extended his hand holding the Flash Void Break Space Thunder and then suddenly clenched his fist.

As Mo Yu clenched his hand, the space in front of him began to show slight distortions!

Distorting space was an ability only a Dou Zong expert could possess, yet now it was displayed by Mo Yu, who was still just a five-star Great Fighter!

Seeing this, Uncle Snake couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes. However, just when he thought that was the end of it, the space in front of him rippled again, and the young man suddenly vanished right before his eyes.

"This is... spatial traversal!"

Seeing this familiar scene, Uncle Snake's eerie eyes revealed unprecedented shock, his snake-like pupils widening in disbelief as he stared at what had just happened.

If the spatial distortion earlier had been barely acceptable to Uncle Snake, the spatial traversal Mo Yu just performed completely shattered his worldview.

Spatial traversal was a technique that only Dou Zun experts could master!

Yet, here was a mere Great Fighter, using spatial traversal right in front of a true Dou Zun expert, making it hard to believe.

While Uncle Snake was still reeling from shock, Mo Yu slowly walked back into the cave from outside. However, at this moment, his face was extremely pale, and his body was covered in numerous wounds, with blood constantly oozing out, making for a terrifying sight.

The once abundant Dou Qi within the young man's body was also completely drained, leaving him utterly exhausted...

Seeing Mo Yu in this miserable state, Uncle Snake was momentarily stunned before he chuckled softly, "This Flash Void Break Space Thunder is indeed extraordinary, but even with its help, spatial traversal is not something you can easily accomplish. After all, you're just a Great Fighter."

Mo Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

For the past two days in the cave, aside from evolving his physique, Mo Yu had also awakened the Flash Void Break Space Thunder, which was ranked eleventh on the Mysterious Thunder list.

After awakening it, Mo Yu fed all the Ethereal Ice Crystals he had collected from the Black Lizard King's palace to this third awakened Mysterious Thunder. As a result, the Flash Void Break Space Thunder quickly grew to the peak of its infancy, just one step away from entering its second growth stage.

Although the Flash Void Break Space Thunder couldn't fully exert its power like the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder, it could still perform some of its abilities.

Out of curiosity, Mo Yu had attempted spatial traversal with the help of the Flash Void Break Space Thunder in front of Uncle Snake.

Unfortunately, while he could successfully perform spatial traversal, Mo Yu's strength was too weak, and during the process, he was nearly torn to shreds by the unstable spatial currents.

Fortunately, the young man's physique was extraordinary, even comparable to that of an average Dou Ling expert. Combined with the protection of the Flash Void Break Space Thunder, he narrowly escaped death.

Even so, Mo Yu's entire body was severely injured, and all his Dou Qi was utterly drained.

Moreover, compared to a Dou Zun expert who could casually traverse thousands of miles, Mo Yu's traversal range was limited to just ten meters. Exceeding that range would put his life at risk.

In other words, this Mysterious Thunder was of little use to Mo Yu at the moment.

After all, traversing only ten meters while exhausting all his Dou Qi wasn't practical in a fight. A simple teleportation would be more effective.

But even though it was currently of limited use, Mo Yu still chose this Mysterious Thunder.

Because compared to the present, Mo Yu, who already possessed the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder, valued the future potential of the Flash Void Break Space Thunder more.

Just imagine a Dou Huang expert who could control spatial power—how invincible would that be? Even challenging a Dou Zong would not be impossible.

Even at the Dou Zun stage, Mo Yu, with the Flash Void Break Space Thunder, would hold a significant advantage in any competition of spatial power with other Dou Zun experts.

And what Mo Yu valued most was the spatial traversal ability of the Flash Void Break Space Thunder.

After the joint pursuit by the Lionhead Elder and the Black Lizard King, Mo Yu's awareness of the dangers on the Dou Qi Continent increased significantly, greatly heightening his sense of crisis.

If not for Qinglin inviting the Heavenly Serpent Mansion to intervene, even with Uncle Snake as a protector, he might not have survived.

After much thought, Mo Yu decided to focus on the spatial traversal ability for his safety and longevity.

In his past life, he had relied on the Flash Void Break Space Thunder to escape death countless times when surrounded by enemies.

Among the twelve Mysterious Thunders, Mo Yu was most grateful to the Flash Void Break Space Thunder. Now, reborn on the Dou Qi Continent, it was natural for him to think of this Mysterious Thunder that had helped him so much.

Although he could currently only traverse ten meters, as his strength increased and the Flash Void Break Space Thunder grew into its second stage, the range of spatial traversal would increase dramatically.

Even if it couldn't match a true Dou Zun expert, the range would still expand to tens of miles.

At that point, if faced with a strong enemy's encirclement, he could retreat safely even if he couldn't win.

Thinking of this promising future, Mo Yu felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he felt at ease...

Half a day later, after slowly recovering his Dou Qi, Mo Yu raised his eyes to the cliff in front of him, gazing at the drifting clouds. He lazily stretched his neck and murmured, "Unknowingly, it's been over two years since I left the clan. It seems there are only three or four months left until the three-year agreement with Xiao Yan."

"Since I promised Xiao Yan, it's about time I return to the Jia Ma Empire..."
