In the fresh forest air, Mo Yu lay hidden in a patch of grass, his aura fully restrained. His body was as still as a rock, not moving an inch. His sharp gaze pierced through the underbrush, focusing intently on a green wolf drinking from a stream nearby.
It had been three days since Mo Yu parted ways with Xiao Yixian. During this time, he had steadily advanced deeper into the heart of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Based on his progress, he estimated that he had already reached the central region of the mountain range.
The green wolf before him was a common Tier Two wolf-type magical beast. In terms of strength, it was equivalent to a two-star or three-star Dou Shi. Over the past few days of battle, Mo Yu had worn the wolf down, leaving it battered and bruised. To avoid it making a desperate counterattack, Mo Yu was now preparing for a decisive final blow.
"Now's the time!"
As the wolf hobbled over to the stream and lowered its head to drink, Mo Yu saw his opportunity. Swiftly moving through the falling leaves, he appeared behind the wolf, lightning flickering from the seventeen lightning markings on his right arm. An immense power surged through him as he clenched his fist, channeling the force of thunder, and struck the wolf's side with all his might.
"Thunder Body!"
With a low growl in his heart, Mo Yu's attack sent the wolf skidding across the ground for over ten meters before it slammed into a tree, its body twitching briefly before it finally went limp and silent.
Mo Yu approached quickly, his footfalls heavy. He drew a small dagger from his waist and skillfully cut into the wolf's head, revealing a small, green crystal—the magic core.
"Finally, a Tier Two magic core," Mo Yu smiled, satisfied with the result. He had been on the verge of a breakthrough for a while now, and this magic core was exactly what he needed to take the next step.
After extracting the core, Mo Yu discarded the wolf's body and, after confirming his direction, swiftly headed towards a nearby cliff.
Arriving at the steep cliff, Mo Yu quickly scaled a four-to-five-meter-high ledge. Moving with the agility of a monkey, he climbed into a small cave he had previously scouted.
The cave was cool inside but spacious enough for Mo Yu to live in comfortably. After organizing his supplies, he took out the Tier Two magic core and began to cultivate.
Sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, Mo Yu made the hand seals for cultivation, slowly calming his breath and replenishing his lost Dou Qi. After an hour of cycling his energy, he felt his Dou Qi return to its peak state. Only then did he summon the Thunder Soul.
Mo Yu was already well-versed in using the Thunder Soul to devour magic cores, so absorbing the energy from a Tier Two core was no challenge. The Thunder Soul quickly absorbed the energy from the core, providing Mo Yu with the final push he needed to break through.
"Eight-star Dou Zhe!" Mo Yu muttered with a smile, feeling the surge of power coursing through his body. Just two more steps, and he would reach the Dou Shi rank.
However, Mo Yu also knew that the closer he got to the next level, the more energy it would require. Cultivating through normal means would only slow his progress.
Shaking off these thoughts, Mo Yu flipped his hand, and a black scroll appeared in his palm—the high-tier Xuan-Class flying Dou Technique.
Untying the finely bound black cord, Mo Yu unfurled the scroll, revealing two dark eagle wings.
The wings were jet black with a faint purple sheen, appearing almost metallic. The feathers emanated a slight heat.
"Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle, a Tier Five flying magical beast said to possess a trace of the ancient Phoenix's bloodline. Its flight speed is among the fastest of all flying beasts. Known for being cunning and fierce, it's extremely difficult to capture and only found in the southern regions of the continent," Mo Yu read aloud from the scroll's description.
"I didn't expect this flying Dou Technique to come from the southern lands. It must have taken quite the journey to reach here," Mo Yu mused, stroking his chin.
His fingers lightly touched the wings on the scroll. With his exceptional spiritual sensitivity, he immediately sensed the violent and chaotic soul lingering within the wings.
"So, it hides a remnant soul. To fuse the wings of a flying magical beast with its soul… This Dou Technique is indeed extraordinary," Mo Yu remarked in awe.
"Since that's the case, let me subdue this remnant soul first!"
Placing his palms on the wings, Mo Yu closed his eyes. Almost instantly, the soul within the wings emitted a sharp, piercing screech, trying to invade Mo Yu's mind like a drill.
However, with his spirit on par with that of a Da Dou Shi and the Thunder Soul's added support, even a Tier Five beast's remnant soul was no match for him.
The battle of wills lasted only three minutes before the Purple Cloud Eagle's soul was completely suppressed.
As expected, Mo Yu wasn't surprised. If he couldn't handle a remnant soul, he had no business roaming the continent.
With the eagle's soul subdued, Mo Yu once again placed his palms on the wings, following the flow of Dou Qi described in the scroll. Gradually, Dou Qi circulated through his meridians, flowing to his arms and then into his palms.
When Dou Qi reached his hands, the black wings on the scroll flared to life. Purple and black light glowed, growing stronger until they shot into Mo Yu's palms.
The purple-black light traveled through his body, flowing through his meridians until it reached his back. Then, it forcefully branched into two new meridians, extending across his back.
At the same time, all the characters and drawings on the black scroll vanished.
Sensing the new energy in his body, Mo Yu willed his Dou Qi to follow the new meridians and flow into his back.
As Dou Qi surged, the black wing tattoos on his back emitted a radiant purple glow, transforming into solid wings nearly two meters wide.
Feeling the powerful wings, Mo Yu gave a light flap, and with a loud swoosh, he shot out of the cave, soaring into the sky.
"It's been a while," Mo Yu murmured, hovering in midair. His purple wings flapped gently as he gazed out at the vast landscape below, feeling a deep sense of freedom.
