Chapter 551: Fusion of Bloodlines, Five-Revolution Dou Zun!
Deep within the third layer of the Heavenly Tomb stood the Thunderquake Mausoleum.
The violent thunder pool, mixed with scarlet light, grew increasingly blood-red. Soon, a thick stench of blood filled the air, and an immensely terrifying and strange power began to slowly spread out.
Standing beside the pool, Mo Yu felt the eerie and terrifying force, yet it did not cause him any discomfort. Instead, his bloodline started flowing rapidly within him.
"So, this is the power of the Thunder Clan's bloodline?"
Mo Yu was slightly stunned. This power seemed to come from the depths of his body.
"Boy, enter the blood pool and inherit the Thunder Clan's bloodline. With the pure Dou Emperor bloodline combined with your Heavenly Gang Thunder Body, you might even reach a realm no clan member has touched since our ancestors."
An elderly Thunderquake, now with white hair and wrinkles, gazed at Mo Yu with hopeful eyes. He had waited here for someone worthy to arrive. Although many Thunder Clan members with great talent had come before, none had met his expectations, so he sent them away. Because of this, he gained a reputation for having a peculiar temper.
Just when Thunderquake was lamenting that the Thunder Clan had no promising successors, he discovered someone with the same physique as their ancestors—Mo Yu. This filled him with unexpected joy.
If Mo Yu could step into the Dou Emperor realm, he could protect and lead the Thunder Clan to prosper for tens of thousands of years!
Looking at the aged appearance of Thunderquake, Mo Yu took a deep breath. Although he didn't consider himself a Thunder Clan member, he acknowledged the clan had given him much. If the opportunity arose, he would repay them in the future.
"My husband, be careful," said Lei Fei'er softly from beside him. Mo Yu nodded slightly, then, without further hesitation, stepped into the blood pool, walking steadily to its center.
The moment Mo Yu entered the pool, the blood-red water began to ripple violently. Thin threads of scarlet energy shot towards him like needles, piercing his body and forcefully burrowing into his pores, rushing crazily inside him.
"Hiss!"
The sudden pain made Mo Yu's face turn pale as he gritted his teeth, barely suppressing the urge to scream in agony.
"It'll be painful at first. The bloodline's power must first cleanse your ordinary blood before it can infuse you with the bloodline's strength. This is the first step of the inheritance process—blood replacement," Thunderquake explained upon seeing Mo Yu's rapidly paling face.
Mo Yu nodded in understanding. He wasn't unfamiliar with the process, having heard about it before. He was curious to see what unique effects would result from combining the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body with the Dou Emperor bloodline.
As he thought this, Mo Yu shivered and quickly focused his mind, enduring the intense pain and extreme weakness.
Lei Fei'er, standing by the pool, clenched her hands tightly as she watched Mo Yu suffer, feeling a pang of heartache.
"If the men of the Thunder Clan can't endure this pain, they shouldn't dream of breaking through to become a Dou Emperor," Thunderquake commented with a sigh, though his tone remained firm.
...
Inside the grand hall, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
Throughout these ten days, Mo Yu's body remained submerged in the blood pool. After days of blood purification, Mo Yu's body had become frighteningly skeletal, his complexion deathly pale.
Lei Fei'er, watching the changes in Mo Yu over the ten days, wore a pained expression on her beautiful face. But Thunderquake remained calm, confident that someone with the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body was no ordinary individual.
"Tang!"
On the twelfth day, a faint sound suddenly echoed from the once-quiet blood pool.
Blood bubbles surfaced, eventually bursting apart. At the same time, a blood-red vortex formed at the center of the pool, where Mo Yu, now as thin as a skeleton, sat.
"The blood replacement is complete. Now, the bloodline with its power will infuse into his body. Soon, Mo Yu will possess the purest Dou Emperor bloodline of the Thunder Clan," Thunderquake said.
Being a direct descendant of the Thunder Clan's Dou Emperor ancestor, Thunderquake had not managed to break through to the Dou Emperor level, but his bloodline remained the purest in the clan.
Now that Thunderquake was willing to transfer all his bloodline power to Mo Yu, even Lei Fei'er couldn't help but be astonished and thrilled for him.
However, the process of blood infusion was indeed a heart-wrenching sight.
While Lei Fei'er anxiously watched Mo Yu, Thunderquake swiftly formed a series of hand seals, releasing a beam of blood-colored light into the pool.
"Gurgle gurgle…"
The pool began to boil violently, with bubbles rising and popping. Simultaneously, threads of strange blood-red liquid separated from the pool water, crawling up Mo Yu's body and seeping into his pores, continuously infusing his body.
As the strange liquid filled Mo Yu's body, his once ghostly pale skin began to regain some color, and his withered skin started to plump up again.
Seeing this improvement, Lei Fei'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Ancestor, is there still some energy left in this blood pool that you sealed long ago? If my husband absorbs all of it, shouldn't his strength skyrocket?"
Thunderquake nodded, then glanced at her. "I know what you're thinking. Rapidly boosting one's power with external forces can indeed become a major obstacle in reaching Dou Saint. However, rest assured, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body is an exception. As an unparalleled battle body, it doesn't suffer from unstable foundations or inflated strength."
"Now, we just wait for the bloodline infusion to finish. This could take quite some time," Thunderquake added before closing his eyes. Lei Fei'er, now more at ease, watched the blood pool for a while longer. Seeing no other changes, she relaxed and entered a meditative state.
In the ancient and quiet hall, only the gurgling of blood bubbles echoed, and in the stillness, a month passed quickly.
"Gurgle…"
The blood pool continued to bubble, but by now, Mo Yu's skin had fully recovered its vitality. Countless threads of blood continued to flow into his body, and with each infusion, Mo Yu's aura steadily increased.
"Boom!"
The silence was broken by a low rumble from the blood pool. Blood mist scattered, and a strange silver-black light began to radiate from Mo Yu's body, seemingly absorbing all the remaining blood threads.
The sudden change made both Lei Fei'er and Thunderquake open their eyes in surprise.
"What is this?"
Lei Fei'er stared at the silver-black glow in shock. She sensed a dominating, terrifying energy within it, unlike anything she had ever felt before.
Thunderquake, too, furrowed his brow in thought. After a moment, realization dawned on him, and he slapped his hand, exclaiming in surprise.
"This is the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body fusing with the Dou Emperor bloodline! The Heavenly Gang Thunder Body, as the supreme battle body, is incredibly domineering. If the Dou Emperor bloodline represents the blood in the body, then the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body represents the bones. Only by merging the bones and blood can an even more powerful Heavenly Gang Thunder Body be born, but this step is extremely difficult to achieve."
Thunderquake let out a long breath, a look of nearly uncontrollable joy appearing in his eyes. Rubbing his hands together in excitement, he muttered to himself, "It worked! It really worked… Mo Yu's accomplishments may surpass even our Dou Emperor ancestor!"
"Surpass our Dou Emperor ancestor…" Lei Fei'er was stunned, her eyes wide with shock. In the Dou Qi continent, Dou Emperors were the most powerful beings. Could Mo Yu's achievements really exceed that?
Thunderquake saw her confusion but chose not to explain further. He had lived in ancient times, when Dou Emperors were not as rare as they were now, so his understanding of the continent was far clearer than that of present-day people. He knew that while Dou Emperors stood at the peak of the Dou Qi continent, they were not necessarily the absolute limit. Those ancient powerhouses who transcended the Dou Emperor realm and shattered the void surely knew more.
Thunderquake had always regretted not reaching the Dou Emperor level himself, but now he had pinned all his hopes on Mo Yu.
Mo Yu, he believed, had the potential to become the next Dou Emperor of the Thunder Clan.
"Now, we just need to wait for him to fully absorb the energy I left behind. It will take a while, so during this time, you should focus on your cultivation. This is the place in the Heavenly Tomb with the densest energy, so your training here will be highly beneficial," Thunderquake said, looking at the pool where thick, almost tangible energy continuously flowed into Mo Yu's body. He knew Mo Yu had already begun absorbing the energy he had left behind.
Lei Fei'er took one last look at Mo Yu and nodded. She knew this energy would be a great boon for her as well. Though she felt proud of Mo Yu for possessing the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body, she also felt a strong sense of pressure. With such an outstanding husband, she couldn't afford to fall behind…
In this silent, isolated environment, time flew by like sand slipping through fingers.
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, a year had quietly gone by in the ancient hall.
Throughout the year, Lei Fei'er spent most of her time cultivating. The energy in this place was the densest in the Heavenly Tomb, so she made considerable progress. Her aura had grown noticeably stronger.
Whenever she took breaks from her training, Lei Fei'er would check on Mo Yu, who remained motionless like a statue in the blood pool, her face filled with concern.
As for Thunderquake, he had stayed by the pool the entire year, watching as the blood pool gradually became clearer with each passing day. The smile on his face grew wider, for this was the last thing he could offer the Thunder Clan—a monstrous genius with the potential to become a Dou Emperor.
As time slowly passed, the pool became clearer and clearer. Around a year and a half after Mo Yu had entered, the last trace of blood-red energy finally disappeared.
The pool water had returned to its original crystal-clear state, just as it had been when Mo Yu first arrived.
When the last thread of energy entered Mo Yu's body, Thunderquake and Lei Fei'er seemed to sense it at the same moment. They both opened their eyes and fixed their gazes on Mo Yu, who still sat in the pool with his eyes closed.
Mo Yu remained motionless, his aura as calm as ever, but Thunderquake and Lei Fei'er, with their keen senses, could detect the terrifying energy inside him, like a dormant volcano ready to erupt.
"Boom!"
The stillness persisted for about half an hour until the peaceful pool suddenly exploded like a bomb going off underwater.
A massive column of water shot up, pouring down like a torrential rain.
Neither Thunderquake nor Lei Fei'er paid any attention to the rain. Their eyes were glued to Mo Yu.
"His aura is starting to surge," Thunderquake remarked, his expression shifting slightly.
"Boom!"
No sooner had Thunderquake spoken than a vast aura burst out of Mo Yu's body, and in an instant, it began to soar at an alarming rate.
"Six-Star Peak… Seven-Star… Seven-Star Peak… Eight-Star…"
Thunderquake and Lei Fei'er watched in awe as Mo Yu's aura continued to rise rapidly, their faces growing more serious by the moment.
"Nine-Star… Nine-Star Peak…"
Lei Fei'er's lips parted in shock as she watched. She had never seen anyone's strength rise so fast during the Dou Zun stage, as if they were riding a rocket.
"He's broken through again, reaching One-Revolution Dou Zun," Thunderquake remarked, visibly astonished.
"Two-Revolution, Three-Revolution, Four-Revolution, Five-Revolution!"
In no time, Mo Yu's aura skyrocketed to the Five-Revolution Dou Zun realm, and only then did the terrifying rise of his energy finally slow and stabilize.
Seeing this, Thunderquake couldn't help but mutter in awe, "Five-Revolution Dou Zun… As expected of the Heavenly Gang Thunder Body…"
