"The inheritance of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu was momentarily stunned, but then a hint of surprise and excitement surfaced on his face.
The Demon Heart Thunder Emperor was one of the Nine Ancient Emperors, an existence on equal footing with the Heavenly Emperor. In the future, Mu Chen would only truly rise after receiving the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance, earning the admiration and recognition of Lin Dong and Xiao Yan.
One could say that the Heavenly Emperor held as much significance to Mu Chen as Yao Lao did to Xiao Yan.
Likewise, the inheritance of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor was in no way inferior to the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. Compared to it, however, the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor’s inheritance was undoubtedly more suitable for Mo Yu, as both specialized in the path of thunder.
With this in mind, Mo Yu turned to the Thunder Saint and asked, "Is the inheritance of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor in your hands?"
The Thunder Saint shook his head. "Back then, I was expelled from my sect. Although I managed to create the Nether Demon Heart Thunder and left behind the incomplete Supreme Demon Heart Scripture, my master’s inheritance is not in my hands."
Hearing this, Mo Yu frowned slightly. Since the inheritance wasn’t in the Thunder Saint’s possession, was the man trying to deceive him?
Noticing Mo Yu’s doubts, the Thunder Saint chuckled and said, "Although my master’s inheritance is not with me, I have a way for you to obtain it."
"Oh? What way?" Mo Yu asked curiously.
"Enter the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace," the Thunder Saint said slowly.
"Enter the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace?" Mo Yu’s eyes flickered upon hearing this, a contemplative expression surfacing.
The Ancient Thunder Palace had once been one of the supreme forces of the Ancient Era. Even in that era, where countless powerhouses contended, the Ancient Thunder Palace was extraordinarily prestigious.
After all, its founder was none other than the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor, one of the Nine Ancient Emperors.
However, during the great calamity caused by the invasion of the extraterritorial evil races, the Ancient Thunder Palace vanished completely, leaving behind no traces. Over the years, occasional rumors about its ruins had surfaced, but none were ever proven true.
This time, however, Mo Yu knew that it was real—because this information came from the disciple of the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor himself!
A thought arose in Mo Yu’s mind, and he directly asked, "Why are you helping me?"
He knew that there was no such thing as gratuitous kindness in the world. He had only just met the Thunder Saint, so why was the latter assisting him so selflessly?
The Thunder Saint was briefly stunned before a complex expression appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "To tell you the truth... my master was just like you—he also possessed the Heavenly Thunder Body."
"My master’s greatest wish back then was to find a disciple with the Heavenly Thunder Body to inherit his legacy. Unfortunately, before he could fulfill this dream, the extraterritorial evil races launched their invasion. In that battle, my master perished, along with the Ancient Thunder Palace."
"If there is anyone in the Great Thousand World worthy of inheriting my master’s legacy, in my eyes... it can only be you, someone who also possesses the Heavenly Thunder Body."
The Thunder Saint’s gaze locked onto Mo Yu as he spoke solemnly.
Upon hearing this explanation, Mo Yu nodded in realization, but his heart still surged with shock—so the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor had also possessed the Heavenly Thunder Body?
This revelation gave Mo Yu a new understanding of his own Heavenly Thunder Body. It seemed... this was truly a formidable physique, one that he had yet to fully unlock.
"The Heavenly Emperor only took me in after receiving a letter from my master. At first, I resented my master for abandoning me, but over time, that resentment turned into guilt. I had wanted to return to the sect and apologize... but before I could, the extraterritorial evil races invaded the Great Thousand World."
"In that war, countless sects were annihilated, and countless powerhouses perished, including those from the Ancient Thunder Palace and the Ancient Heaven Palace."
"When the nest is destroyed, how can the eggs remain intact? With the fall of the Ancient Heaven Palace, even my Thunder Saint Sect was wiped out. I never even had the chance to apologize to my junior brother and my master. This regret has haunted me ever since."
The Thunder Saint looked at Mo Yu with hope in his eyes and said, "If you do obtain my master’s inheritance upon entering the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace, I have a request—please convey my apologies to him on my behalf."
Mo Yu fell into deep contemplation. The invasion of the extraterritorial races had wrought immeasurable destruction, not only ending countless lives but also leaving behind untold regrets.
Although the Thunder Saint had reached the pinnacle of Earth Supreme Perfection, he had still been powerless in that war, forced to bear the same sorrows as the common folk.
"Rest assured, Thunder Saint. If I am able to inherit the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor’s legacy, I will personally convey your regrets and apologies," Mo Yu said, clasping his fists solemnly.
"Thank you."
The Thunder Saint sighed in relief before returning the gesture, expressing his gratitude.
With that, he waved his sleeve, and a silver tower, about the size of a foot, materialized before them.
The moment the silver tower appeared, an ancient and extraordinarily violent aura surged forth, carrying with it the faint rumble of thunder.
Mo Yu’s gaze instantly locked onto the silver tower in the Thunder Saint’s hand. From within it, he could feel an incredibly savage thunderous energy—far more fearsome than any lightning he had ever encountered.
"This is... something left behind by the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor?"
Seeing the silver tower, Mo Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a low voice.
This overwhelming thunderous aura... it could only have come from a Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, the Demon Heart Thunder Emperor himself!
"Heh, that’s right. This is the Silver Thunder Tower—there are a total of seven of them. My master personally forged them and bestowed them upon his seven disciples."
"Even after expelling me from the sect, my master never reclaimed my Silver Thunder Tower. Perhaps... he was still giving me a chance. Unfortunately, I failed to grasp it."
The Thunder Saint shook his head with a sigh.
After a moment of reminiscing, he flicked his wrist, and the silver tower landed before Mo Yu. His voice rang out, "This is the symbol of the seven disciples. With this Silver Thunder Tower, you will have the opportunity to obtain my master’s inheritance when you enter the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace."
"As for the location of the Ancient Thunder Palace’s ruins—it lies in the northwestern region of the Great Thousand World, within the Heavenly Thunder Continent."
In ancient times, the Ancient Thunder Palace stood upon the Heavenly Thunder Continent. Though this land was not among the top ten supercontinents of the Great Thousand World like the Skylaw Continent, it was still a vast and formidable domain.
During that era, the Ancient Thunder Palace reigned supreme over the Heavenly Thunder Continent, its dominance spanning billions of miles. As one of the Great Thousand World’s superpowers, it wielded unparalleled authority.
Yet, when the Extraterritorial Evil Race invaded, even this pinnacle force suffered devastating losses, ultimately meeting the same tragic fate as the Ancient Heaven Palace of the Skylaw Continent—utter annihilation.
However, while the Ancient Thunder Palace was destroyed, its ruins remained. And given the temperament of my master, he likely left behind a legacy within. This... is your opportunity."
"Heavenly Thunder Continent... the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace..." Mo Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as a hint of eagerness surfaced on his face.
Whether it was the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace or the inheritance of Demon Heart Thunder Emperor, both were treasures even Heavenly Supremes would covet. If Mo Yu could obtain them, it would be a tremendous boon—not just for himself, but also for the newly established Thunder Prison.
Seeing the desire in Mo Yu’s eyes, Thunder Saint smiled faintly. "Do you know that in ancient times, there existed 36 Peerless Divine Abilities? My master cultivated one of them—none other than the ’Supreme Heart Demon Scripture.’"
"Oh? The Supreme Heart Demon Scripture is truly one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities?"
Mo Yu’s eyes brightened upon hearing this. He had long suspected that the Supreme Heart Demon Scripture was among the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities. After all, Demon Heart Thunder Emperor stood on equal footing with the Heavenly Emperor, so his divine art should not be inferior.
And now, his guess was confirmed.
"The Supreme Heart Demon Scripture is profound beyond measure. Even achieving the Perfect Heart Demon State is not its ultimate form. In ancient times, only my master fully mastered it, using its power to slay several Demon Emperors of the Extraterritorial Evil Race," Thunder Saint explained.
"Oh? The Perfect Heart Demon State is not the end..." Mo Yu’s brows lifted slightly before he nodded thoughtfully.
Since the Supreme Heart Demon Scripture was ranked among the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, just like the Three Pures, its might was naturally beyond question.
This only further piqued Mo Yu’s interest.
"The Ancient Thunder Palace once dominated the Heavenly Thunder Continent, and within it are countless treasured lands that many could only dream of. If you enter, there are two places you must seek out," Thunder Saint advised, his gaze fixed on Mo Yu.
"Which two?" Mo Yu asked, startled.
"The Divine Art Hall and the Thunder Pool," Thunder Saint responded with a nod. "The Divine Art Hall was where the Ancient Thunder Palace stored its divine arts. It contains countless supreme techniques. You may be able to find the complete version of the Supreme Heart Demon Scripture there."
"As for the Thunder Pool, it is even more important. Even within the Ancient Thunder Palace, it was a treasured land sought after by countless powerhouses.
The Thunder Pool holds immense divine power, capable of stabilizing one’s spiritual foundation, perfecting one’s being, and breaking through bottlenecks. In ancient times, only those who rendered great merit were granted access to this opportunity.
For you, the Thunder Pool might be the key to repairing the flaws in your Heavenly Thunder Body. If you grasp this chance, your Heavenly Thunder Body may become even more perfect."
At first, Mo Yu remained calm while listening, but when he heard that the Thunder Pool could refine and perfect his Heavenly Thunder Body, he could no longer suppress his excitement. His eyes blazed with fervor.
From Thunder Saint’s earlier words, Mo Yu had already understood the terrifying potential of the Heavenly Thunder Body—able to rival even the physiques of the five Ancient Clans, and even the True Dragon and True Phoenix bodies. That alone proved its extraordinary nature. Demon Heart Thunder Emperor himself had possessed a Heavenly Thunder Body.
However, Mo Yu was certain that Demon Heart Thunder Emperor had been born with his Heavenly Thunder Body, whereas he had obtained it later in life.
But if the Thunder Pool could refine his acquired physique to the level of an innate one, it would be an opportunity he could not afford to miss.
He had to seize it.
"Will any Heavenly Supremes intervene?"
Having made up his mind, Mo Yu lowered his voice. At the level of Heavenly Supremes, ordinary ancient ruins would not interest them. However, the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace were different—it was the very place where Demon Heart Thunder Emperor had perished.
During the ancient era, even among Heavenly Supremes, Demon Heart Thunder Emperor had been one of the most formidable. The ’Supreme Heart Demon Scripture’ he cultivated was one of the 36 Peerless Divine Abilities, an irresistible allure even to Heavenly Supremes.
With Mo Yu’s current strength, facing a Heavenly Supreme would be like throwing an egg against a rock. The gap between a top-tier Earthly Supreme and a Heavenly Supreme was akin to a chasm.
"There shouldn’t be. The location of the ruins is plagued by chaotic spatial turbulence due to the immense spiritual power that once shattered the void. Furthermore, the Ancient Thunder Palace is not a safe place. Back then, my master and a Demon Emperor of the Extraterritorial Race waged a devastating battle there, leaving behind countless hidden dangers.
For those at the level of a Heavenly Supreme, these traps pose a far greater threat. So, even if some Heavenly Supremes are tempted, they likely wouldn’t take such a great risk," Thunder Saint said after some contemplation.
Hearing this, Mo Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If even Heavenly Supremes were involved, then he would have no chance at all.
Though he had confidence in one day reaching the level of a Heavenly Supreme, at present, he was utterly powerless before them.
"However, while no Heavenly Supremes may intervene, many Earthly Supremes will. Even peak Earthly Supremes, those who have touched upon the threshold of the Heavenly Supreme realm, may make a move. After all, my master’s reputation alone is enough to stir such a commotion.
Fortunately, based on my calculations, the ruins of the Ancient Thunder Palace will not surface for another three years. If you can elevate your strength to the level of a half-step peak Earthly Supreme within that time, your chances will be much greater."
"Three years..." Mo Yu murmured, his expression turning solemn.
He had only recently broken through to the Greater Earthly Supreme level. Advancing further within three years would be a daunting challenge. But he had always faced difficulties head-on, and for the sake of the Ancient Thunder Emperor’s inheritance, he was willing to fight for it at any cost.
"Thank you for telling me this, senior!" Determined, Mo Yu cupped his fists and spoke solemnly.
Thunder Saint shook his head and sighed. "I am helping you because you share the same physique as my master. I only wish to resolve my own regrets.
Moreover, while the Great Thousand World seems peaceful now, the Extraterritorial Evil Race remains a lurking threat. Their origins are unknown, shrouded in mystery.
According to the Heavenly Emperor, during their last invasion, despite its grand scale, they seemed to have held back.
If they return once more, it will be with the power to annihilate everything. When that time comes, whether the Great Thousand World can survive will depend on the younger generation like you."
As he finished speaking, Thunder Saint sighed deeply, offering a final word of caution.
Mo Yu nodded solemnly, his heart heavy.
Thunder Saint did not say more. His figure grew increasingly transparent, finally dispersing into countless points of light that drifted away, vanishing completely.
Mo Yu gazed silently at where Thunder Saint had disappeared. Only after a long while did he bow once more in gratitude, then turned and left...
