**
Silver thunder flickered within Mo Yu's eyes, and in the next moment, it erupted with terrifying force!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, massive silver lightning bolts, resembling colossal serpents, struck fiercely toward the Fire Yao Puppet.
"Divine Thunder World-Destroying Eye!"
A low shout echoed from Mo Yu's mouth, and within moments, layers of thunderous rain enveloped the Fire Yao Puppet, completely encasing it.
"Bang!"
The silver thunder descended with a force imbued with the power of heaven and earth, crashing heavily upon the Fire Yao Puppet. The explosive sound reverberated through the sky.
With thunder roaring down, countless tiny sparks of electricity scattered like a swarm of silver snakes, filling the entire Di Yan City. In the midst of this thunderous storm, the mighty Fire Yao Puppet, once an emotionless killing machine, appeared small and vulnerable.
In an instant, another colossal silver thunderbolt struck down.
Seeing this, the Fire Yao Puppet clenched its fists, and fiery energy flowed from its energy core, quickly engulfing its entire arm in flames.
"Boom!"
Without hesitation, the Fire Yao Puppet launched a punch like the weight of a mountain, generating sharp sonic booms in the air. Powerful waves of energy spread from its fist like ripples on water.
"Thud!"
The powerful punch landed directly on the massive silver thunderbolt, and in that moment, everything seemed to freeze. A split second later, a thunderous explosion shook the heavens as if it resonated within everyone's very souls. Under the awestruck gazes of those around, the giant silver thunder gradually collapsed. As it disintegrated, keen observers noticed web-like black cracks in space where the Fire Yao Puppet's fist landed, prompting gasps of astonishment.
Truly a terrifying ancient relic—the Fire Yao Puppet lived up to its reputation.
As the silver thunder dispersed, the massive force hurled the Fire Yao Puppet down from the sky, crashing into the city with an earth-shaking impact.
Mo Yu's expression remained steady as he watched the Fire Yao Puppet withstand the powerful thunder strike. This was just an appetizer from the Divine Thunder World-Destroying Eye, harnessing the power of heavenly thunder.
Observing closely, Mo Yu noticed subtle signs—the Fire Yao Puppet's movements appeared slightly stiff, almost as if it was malfunctioning.
"As I thought, if I can destroy the Fire Yao Puppet's control core, no matter how strong it is, it'll be rendered useless."
In his previous life as a top weapon refiner, Mo Yu was familiar with ancient mechanisms and knew some of the weaknesses of these mechanical puppets. Unlike puppets crafted from human corpses, mechanical puppets lacked intelligence and were purely controlled by their cores. While mechanical puppets were powerful, they had a fatal flaw—their control cores. Once destroyed, they would turn to scrap.
However, skilled weapon refiners would protect these cores, making it difficult to destroy them without overpowering the puppet first.
For Mo Yu, though, it wasn't much of a challenge.
With the Divine Thunder World-Destroying Eye's thunder, the puppet's core was a prime target! The wild thunder would penetrate the Fire Yao Puppet's tough exterior and strike directly at its core, destroying it from within.
Mo Yu's silver eyes flashed, and another colossal silver thunder serpent appeared, colliding forcefully with the Fire Yao Puppet, knocking it back with another thunderous explosion.
Within Di Yan City, countless onlookers were left dumbfounded as they watched Mo Yu unleash two successive bolts of thunder.
They couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. To wield the power of heaven and earth single-handedly—such a feat would set any warrior's blood ablaze, especially in the stronghold of the Black-Corner Region!
Even the members of the Di Yan Sect were stunned. The power of heavenly thunder would instill fear deep within anyone.
"Who is this kid? When did the continent gain a bloodline capable of summoning thunder?" the Di Yan Sect Master, Yan, asked grimly.
The ability to summon the most volatile force of heaven and earth, thunder, was no ordinary feat. Such powers could likely only belong to some top-tier, mysterious families in the central plains.
"Fortunately, his power isn't too great yet; the thunder won't pose a threat to a Dou Huang…" Yan muttered to himself.
Just then, an unexpected twist occurred.
The Fire Yao Puppet, though seemingly unscathed, started making erratic movements, as if it had lost control, its motions becoming increasingly sluggish.
"No… he's found the weak point of the ancient puppet!"
Seeing the puppet's strange, uncontrolled actions, Yan instantly understood Mo Yu's plan.
Though Yan didn't know how Mo Yu, despite his youth, had such knowledge of ancient puppets' weaknesses, he realized the situation was dire—the puppet was on the verge of breaking down.
A flash of killing intent appeared in Yan's eyes. As he prepared to attack, he was stopped by Zi Huo, who seemed to anticipate his thoughts and threw a seemingly ordinary punch in his direction.
Yan's eyes narrowed sharply.
After the previous battle, Yan had come to understand the terror of this man before him. To Yan, Zi Huo resembled a beast disguised in human form, with terrifying power concealed within his tower-like physique!
While Yan was held off by Zi Huo, Mo Yu did not hesitate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under Mo Yu's command, the dark clouds grew even denser, countless silver sparks flickering within them. One after another, thunder bolts crashed down from the heavens onto the Fire Yao Puppet.
As the relentless barrage of silver thunder descended, the Fire Yao Puppet could only respond by swinging its fist aimlessly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Deafening thunder echoed through the skies, each explosion causing the very air to tremble. The continuous lightning strikes created a scene that resembled the end of days, inspiring deep fear within all who witnessed it.
On the ground, after withstanding more than a dozen lightning bolts, the Fire Yao Puppet finally ceased its movements, its eyes turning dark and empty as it stood motionless on the ground. Silence fell across the area as stunned gazes turned to stone.
"The ancient puppet has been defeated?"
Seeing Mo Yu actually defeat the Fire Yao Puppet, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock.
That was a puppet with strength nearly equal to that of a Dou Huang expert! Its tough exterior alone could have thwarted even a true Dou Huang. Yet it was bested by Mo Yu.
This could mean Mo Yu had the potential to reach the top ten of the Black-Corner Region's Black List. Given his young age, his future was truly limitless.
While some noticed that the puppet's exterior appeared mostly unharmed and speculated that damage to its control core caused its defeat, the fact that Mo Yu managed to break its core alone was enough to showcase his formidable strength.
People seemed to be witnessing the rise of a supernova within the Black-Corner Region.
"Yan, Sect Leader of Di Yan Sect, prepare to meet your doom!"
As everyone was still in shock over Mo Yu's display of power, a thunderous voice suddenly echoed across the sky.
In that instant, Yan's heart trembled as his Fire Yao Puppet was destroyed, leaving him momentarily exposed. In that vulnerable moment, he was hit hard by a punch from Zi Huo, the impact sounding like a thunderclap echoing through the heavens.
Boom!
A low, dull thud resonated through the air as flesh met force, causing countless people to feel their hearts skip a beat in shock.
Spurt!
Caught completely off guard, Yan spat a mouthful of blood, his figure plummeting like a bird with broken wings. He crashed into the plain outside Di Yan City under countless astonished gazes.
Zi Huo's face was covered in blood, his iron-clad chest heaving, and his thick arms trembling slightly. The powerful aura emanating from him left no doubt of his strength.
This outcome left the onlookers in Di Yan City stunned once more.
Yan, a powerful figure on the Black Rankings and leader of the Di Yan Sect, had been defeated—by an unknown newcomer, no less!
Seeing this scene, everyone was speechless. With the destruction of the Fire Yao Puppet and the consecutive defeat of two Dou Huang-level experts, the downfall of the Di Yan Sect seemed inevitable.
In this challenge between Yuan Manor and the Di Yan Sect—between new power and old—the outcome was beyond many people's expectations.
Could it be that a new force was about to rise in the Black-Corner Region?
In the midst of the scene, Zi Huo stepped forward, his blood-red eyes fixed on Yan, who lay motionless in the massive crater he had created upon impact.
Remembering Mo Yu's instructions, Zi Huo furrowed his brows and eased his grip slightly as he reached for Yan's collar.
"Save the Sect Leader!"
Zi Huo's actions were immediately noticed by the Di Yan Sect's experts, whose faces changed dramatically as they shouted desperately. They were fully aware of Yan's importance to the Di Yan Sect.
If they lost their leader, the Di Yan Sect would be erased from the Black-Corner Region!
"Block them!"
As the Di Yan Sect's experts moved to intervene, Mo Yu's cold command rang out. The Yuan Manor experts quickly took action, forming a human wall outside Di Yan City. Waves of powerful auras surged forth, forcing the Di Yan Sect members attempting a rescue to retreat.
With Yuan Manor experts holding them off, Zi Huo swiftly moved to where Yan lay and, with a single motion, captured him.
With Yan captured, the Di Yan Sect's momentum came to an abrupt halt. As the Sect Leader, Yan wasn't just the Di Yan Sect's strongest member—he was its symbol.
With the Sect Leader captured, was there any reason left to resist?
Upon seeing this, many Di Yan Sect disciples threw down their weapons and began to flee.
In the chaotic Black-Corner Region, where human nature was cold and selfish, these disciples and even elders of the Di Yan Sect had no desire to die for the sect.
With the overwhelming odds, they sought only to save themselves.
In an instant, the battle turned one-sided. The Di Yan Sect, stripped of its will to fight, became lambs awaiting slaughter as Yuan Manor tore through them like wolves.
Yuan Manor seized the chance to press the advantage, relentlessly pursuing and taking down any remaining resistance from the Di Yan Sect.
Some Di Yan Sect disciples, desperate to survive, surrendered to Yuan Manor, and to their relief, Yuan Manor did not kill those who surrendered.
Half a day later, the fierce battle in Di Yan City ended, and calm returned to the area. However, the fall of the Di Yan Sect—the city's most powerful force—had sent shockwaves through the surrounding factions.
While some Di Yan Sect elders managed to escape during the battle, everyone knew that without their stronghold of Di Yan City and most of their key fighters, the Di Yan Sect no longer had the status of a top-tier force in the Black-Corner Region.
Even if the Di Yan Sect managed to survive, it would never return to its former glory.
From this point on, Yuan Manor would replace the Di Yan Sect as a top power in the Black-Corner Region, and Mo Yu's name would spread throughout the entire region!
With the fall of the Di Yan Sect, the entire Yuan Manor finally breathed a sigh of relief. Given Di Yan Sect's fearsome reputation in the Black-Corner Region, this battle had been incredibly risky.
Yet, Yuan Manor had achieved a complete victory over the Di Yan Sect!
Seeing this scene, both the veteran members of Yuan Manor and the newly joined Inner Academy students were overjoyed, their admiration for Mo Yu soaring to new heights.
After all, as the biggest hero in this confrontation, Mo Yu's reputation was skyrocketing like a rocket.
Naturally, Mo Yu wasn't focused on his followers' admiration at that moment. After toppling the Di Yan Sect, he took over their base in Di Yan City.
Barely settled in, Mo Yu received new information from an Inner Academy messenger.
"Grand Elder Su Qian led the experts from Jia Nan Academy to battle Han Feng but returned in defeat!"
