A vast surge of spiritual energy swept out of the mountain cave like a tidal wave. Under the watchful eyes of Han Yue, Mang Lie, and the others, two slender and enchanting figures slowly stepped out.
As soon as they appeared, everyone’s gazes involuntarily sharpened.
In that instant, a formidable sense of oppression emanated from the two figures.
Half-Step Eighth-Grade Supreme!
Seeing this, the group couldn’t help but sigh in amazement. It was expected from Cai Lin, but Mo Yu had only been at the Sixth-Grade Supreme level before. In just half a month, he had surpassed them, stepping halfway into the Eighth-Grade Supreme realm.
As they marveled, Mo Yu stood outside the cave, the vast spiritual energy around him gradually receding before fully returning to his body.
He slowly clenched his hands, feeling the immense power coursing through his limbs and bones, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.
This breakthrough had increased the magnitude of his spiritual energy several times over, and its refinement had far exceeded his previous level.
By his estimation, if he were to face that Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit again, he would no longer need to struggle as he had before. With his current strength, killing a Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit would no longer be as difficult.
The combination of his Half-Step Eighth-Grade Supreme cultivation and his formidable physical body even allowed Mo Yu to stand above ordinary Eighth-Grade Supremes.
He even believed that if he were to face a true Ninth-Grade Supreme, he would have the power to fight head-on.
However, his gains from this training session were far more than just that.
Mo Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly. Behind him, space rippled, revealing the faint silhouette of his Supreme Sea, where waves surged with boundless spiritual energy.
At the bottom of the Supreme Sea, half a jade-like lotus seed floated silently, radiating an overwhelming vitality that made the spiritual energy within the Supreme Sea even more refined and vibrant.
That half of the Nine-Turn Azure Lotus’ white jade lotus seed was not something Mo Yu could completely refine at the moment, so he had directly absorbed it into his Supreme Sea, suppressing it within.
With this, the white jade lotus seed could continuously emit powerful life energy, nourishing the spiritual energy within his Supreme Sea.
Moreover, once he reached the Ninth-Grade Supreme level and attempted to break through the bottleneck of the Earthly Supreme Realm, this white jade lotus seed could provide significant assistance.
Of course, Cai Lin, who possessed the other half of the white jade lotus seed, was in a similar situation. Mo Yu had no regrets about sharing such a treasure.
Thoughts racing through his mind, Mo Yu shifted his gaze into the distance. The most pressing matter now was to enter the inner region of the Divine Graveyard and help Cai Lin obtain the inherited blood essence of the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python.
And if the opportunity presented itself, the inheritance of the Primordial Ancestral Ape was also something worth competing for.
"Let’s go. We’re heading to the inner region." Mo Yu smiled slightly at Cai Lin, whose aura was gradually stabilizing, before turning to the approaching Han Yue and the others.
Hearing this, the group exchanged glances, their faces filled with anticipation as they nodded.
Without any further delays, Mo Yu and the others traveled swiftly toward the inner region.
At their full speed, it took only half a day before they began to notice a strange transformation in their surroundings.
The earth beneath them, previously black, gradually took on a blood-red hue. The crimson shade was so vivid that it made one’s heart pound uncontrollably. A faint, eerie aura spread through the air, making the spiritual energy within their bodies restless.
Sensing the change, Mo Yu and the others instinctively slowed down. Their gazes fixed ahead, where they saw an enormous dark-gold light barrier descending from the heavens, dividing the land into two distinct regions: the inner and outer areas of the Divine Graveyard.
"Beyond that barrier should be the inner region of the Divine Graveyard," Mo Yu said, his voice steady.
From the light barrier, he could sense an indescribably powerful energy fluctuation. It was clear to him that this barrier was part of a grand formation—one that only a true Spiritual Array Grandmasters could have possibly created.
Cai Lin and the others nodded, their expressions filled with solemn caution.
"Let’s go."
Mo Yu took the lead, moving closer to the towering barrier. The dark-gold light curtain was interwoven with countless mysterious runes, each exuding an overwhelming power.
With such a powerful barrier in place, even someone like them—let alone an ordinary cultivator—would be utterly incapable of forcing their way through. Even a Lesser Earthly Supreme might struggle to break through.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Mo Yu clenched his fist, and a Half-Step Ninth-Grade Beast Spirit Heart appeared in his palm.
He then tossed it toward the barrier.
Ancient runes shimmered as a beam of light descended, enveloping the Beast Spirit Heart.
The moment the Beast Spirit Heart merged with the barrier, a crack measuring about ten feet wide slowly tore open before them.
Mo Yu glanced at the opening, exchanged looks with Cai Lin and the others, then nodded before stepping forward.
Behind him, Cai Lin and the rest followed closely.
The moment they entered the rift, a shocking sight unfolded before them.
A vast blood-red landscape stretched endlessly toward the horizon, resembling a crimson sea of blood.
The entire land exuded an ominous aura, as if it were alive.
Mo Yu and the others hovered in the air, not daring to set foot on the ground. They looked up at the sky and immediately noticed how vastly different it was from the outside world.
The air was filled with remnants of powerful auras, belonging to beings that were once unimaginably strong. Though they had perished long ago, their wills still lingered, seemingly suppressing something beneath this land.
The sky and the earth here stood in stark opposition, locked in a mysterious and eternal confrontation.
"This place... must have been the most brutal battlefield in the entire Divine Beast Origin during ancient times," Mo Yu murmured solemnly.
The foreign clan had arrived with overwhelming force, and the many supreme powerhouses of the Divine Beast Origin spared no effort in defending their homeland, clashing fiercely with the fearsome invaders.
Just the thought of such a battle was enough to make one tremble.
Cai Lin and the others wore expressions of caution and vigilance. In this eerie land, even the slightest mistake could spell their doom.
"Let’s go. Try not to set foot on the ground," Mo Yu instructed, gazing into the distance before waving his hand. Now that they had stepped into the inner region, they could not retreat so easily.
With that, he swiftly shot forward, though this time, he significantly slowed his pace, no longer charging ahead recklessly as before.
Fortunately, this inner region was not as boundless as they had initially imagined.
After advancing for about half an hour, Mo Yu and his group gradually reduced their speed, for amidst the endless blood-red terrain, something different had finally appeared.
It was a towering, ancient altar—so immense that it reached nearly ten thousand zhang into the sky, as if linking heaven and earth.
Countless stone chains extended from the altar, piercing deep into the ground as if binding something beneath.
Mo Yu gazed at the altar, and a premonition rose in his heart—what they sought on this journey was likely right here.
And just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly sensed an icy, mocking gaze shooting toward him from a corner of the altar.
Mo Yu followed the gaze and unsurprisingly saw Xue Ming standing there, clad in a blood-red robe, his expression filled with amusement. Around him stood numerous powerhouses of the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan.
"I didn’t expect you to actually show up. Are you really not afraid of death?" Xue Ming sneered at Mo Yu.
"Heh, ever heard of this saying?" Mo Yu shot him a sidelong glance and replied indifferently.
"What?" Xue Ming frowned.
"A dog that bites doesn’t bark."
The retort made Xue Ming’s face flush red with anger, but Mo Yu remained calm as his gaze swept across the altar. He quickly noticed that Xue Ming and his group were standing on an enormous stone platform.
Upon that platform, the Roc Clan, the Forest Titan Python Clan, and the Titan Ape Clan had also already arrived.
However, what surprised Mo Yu was the presence of several other teams as well.
These teams hailed from powerful divine beast clans, but their conditions were far from ideal—some even bore signs of injuries and losses. Clearly, they had suffered casualties while dealing with the Half-Step Ninth Grade Beast Spirit earlier.
As Mo Yu observed, many eyes on the platform turned to him and his group with astonishment.
Because, unlike the other teams, Mo Yu’s squad had not lost a single member.
Rather than admiration, however, those gazes flickered with suspicion.
After all, they had all vaguely sensed the terrifying fluctuations from Mo Yu’s use of the Thunder Orb earlier, leading them to assume that he had exhausted his trump card to defeat the Half-Step Ninth Grade Beast Spirit.
If that was the case, then Mo Yu had lost his greatest advantage—so how would he withstand the Blood Sky Flood Dragon Clan’s assault next?
Under the scrutiny of those varying emotions, Mo Yu remained unfazed, leading Cai Lin and the others as they swiftly landed on the stone platform.
"Mo Yu, look!"
The moment Mo Yu landed, Cai Lin’s cold, beautiful face changed slightly, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.
Mo Yu immediately followed her gaze, and his pupils contracted.
On the northern side of the enormous altar, atop a stone tower, stood a massive stone sculpture.
The sculpture’s vast body stretched into the sky, its form neither purely dragon nor purely serpent, coiling in an ancient, eternal posture. Though merely a statue, it exuded a primordial suppression so intense that even the blood within their bodies seemed to slow its flow.
Mo Yu took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with joy. Though he had never seen an Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python before, Cai Lin’s reaction confirmed his suspicion—this stone sculpture was none other than the Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python!
His guess had been right.
Within the depths of this Divine Graveyard, an Ancient Heaven Swallowing Python had indeed perished!
And if that was the case, then its inherited blood essence must still exist!
Excitement surged in his heart, but Mo Yu quickly suppressed it, for he soon realized that the altar did not hold just one stone sculpture.
There were three.
The second sculpture depicted a massive eagle with wings that draped like clouds. Its feathers shimmered brilliantly, exuding an almost lifelike aura, and each beat of its wings seemed to pulse with boundless vitality.
"What is that?" Mo Yu frowned in puzzlement.
"That is an Ancient Dragon Eagle, a supreme divine beast of the past—though it has long since gone extinct," Han Yue spoke with reverence, then sighed. "During the ancient era, the invasion of the foreign clan inflicted devastating losses upon the Great Thousand World. Many rare and powerful divine beasts perished due to the loss of their inheritances, eventually fading into obscurity and becoming mere common spirit beasts."
Mo Yu nodded solemnly.
The foreign clan was truly the Great Thousand World’s greatest enemy. Just one invasion had cost them so dearly—even causing entire species to go extinct.
After a moment of contemplation, Mo Yu turned his gaze toward the third sculpture.
At that moment, the purple-gold token within his body began to tremble violently, as if reacting to a familiar presence.
Mo Yu’s heart jolted.
A sudden thought struck him, and a surge of excitement flashed through his eyes as he stared intently at the final stone sculpture.
It depicted a colossal ape, its head tilted back in a sky-shaking roar. Its body stood as if capable of propping up the heavens, its entire form cast in resplendent purple-gold, adorned with intricate, profound patterns.
Though merely a sculpture, the space around it twisted under its sheer presence.
Mo Yu had no doubt—if this stone giant were to rise, the very fabric of this realm would collapse under its might.
This was the true embodiment of raw, unbridled power.
Its massive palm was like a mountain, and if it were to strike down, entire lands spanning thousands of miles would crumble into nothingness.
Mo Yu exhaled deeply.
This third stone sculpture was perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring sights he had ever witnessed.
More than that, it was likely the strongest existence he had ever seen.
No, perhaps it was even one of the greatest powerhouses the Great Thousand World had ever known...
And its identity—Mo Yu already had an answer in his heart.
It was the Primodial Ancestral Ape!
"So this... is the Primodial Ancestral Ape..."
Mo Yu murmured, his voice carrying unconcealed shock and excitement.
He had never imagined he would actually encounter the remnants of the Primodial Ancestral Ape here.
If that was the case... did this mean he had a chance to obtain its inherited blood essence as well?
Taking a deep breath, Mo Yu’s gaze hardened with resolve.
No matter what, he could not afford to let this opportunity slip away!
