I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

Thunder Continent, Central Region, Thunder Prison Headquarters.

Inside a grand hall, Mo Yu sat behind a table, looking at the various documents piled on the table with a headache.

These are all data on the various forces under Lei Yu's command, as well as the offerings they have submitted, etc., which are extremely complicated.

However, as the lord of the prison, he obviously doesn't need to handle these matters personally, but he still needs to listen to a prison summary once a month.

At the same time, the Wind Emperor reached out and pushed aside the complicated documents on the table, took out a scroll from it, and said, "This is all the profits of our Thunder Prison last year, a total of 2.1 billion Supreme Spirit Liquid."

"Twenty-one billion..."

Upon hearing this number, Mo Yu nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm and composed.

This number is neither too much nor too little. It was about the same when the Thunder God Palace ruled the Central Region. Now, the Thunder Prison is simply accepting it without question.

Seeing Mo Yu's calm expression, the Wind Emperor pondered for a moment, then said, "2.1 billion Supreme Spirit Liquid, of which 900 million Supreme Spirit Liquid will be used for the Prison Master's cultivation, and the annual offering to Elder Taishan will also require 500 million."

As for the remaining Supreme Spiritual Liquid, it was used as cultivation resources for various departments within the prison. This portion cost approximately 700 million.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu nodded slightly. Although he alone had consumed nearly half of Lei Yu's resources, he did not feel embarrassed.

After all, as the prison warden, this was a perk he was entitled to, and I doubt anyone would dare to question it.

Moreover, once you reach the Heavenly Sovereign level, the resources required for cultivation are indeed enormous, but if you don't use the Supreme Spirit Liquid, your cultivation efficiency will be greatly reduced.

This is why many powerful individuals, once they reach the Heavenly Sovereign level, will form their own factions or join a top-tier super power, because cultivation does indeed require a huge amount of resources.

Lei Yu, consisting of just himself and Venerable Taishan, two Heavenly Sovereigns, has already consumed over a billion Supreme Spiritual Liquids, while the remaining tens of thousands of powerful individuals have only consumed seven hundred million Supreme Spiritual Liquids. This is the difference.

At this moment, Feng Di looked at Mo Yu and said, "Prison Lord, with the current territory of our Thunder Prison, we can only support two or three Heavenly Sovereigns at most. If we want to expand and bring in a few more Heavenly Sovereigns, I'm afraid we will be powerless to do so."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's expression also became more serious, as this was clearly related to the development of Thunder Prison.

After all, a Heavenly Sovereign is a manifestation of the foundation of any super power.

The way to determine the strength of a super power is simple: look at the number of Heavenly Sovereigns it possesses.

Moreover, he had just received information that his clone had gained a great deal in that ancient sacred abyss, even acquiring an army comparable to a Heavenly Sovereign and the Eight-Part Pagoda, one of the thirty-six peerless divine abilities.

Whether it's to support the Xuanlong Army or to help his clone break through to the Heavenly Supreme realm, the Thunder Prison must now expand to acquire more resources.

"What are your thoughts, Elder Qing?" Mo Yu asked, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Emperor Feng.

"Maintain the status quo for now, develop slowly, or expand our territory, allowing Thunder Prison to have more resources and land," said the Wind Emperor.

"With the emergence of the ancient Thunder Palace ruins, many super powers on the Thunder Continent have taken notice of this place. They are all secretly on guard against our Thunder Prison. Therefore, in the past six months, we have not expanded too much beyond the Thunder Prison to avoid a collective backlash."

Mo Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you investigated which super powers are watching the Thunder Continent?"

Emperor Feng nodded, took out a scroll, and handed it to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu took it, slowly opened it, and saw the names of five super powers.

The leaders of these five super powers are quite famous in the Great Thousand World, and they are all powerful figures at the Heavenly Sovereign level.

Qiyang Mountain, Qiyang Ancestor.

Tianyou City, Lord of Tianyou City.

Purple Fire Immortal Sect, Purple Fire Venerable.

White Wolf Valley, White Wolf King.

The Spirit God Gate, the Spirit Emperor.

The first four leaders of the super forces had all reached the peak of the Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, while the last one, the Spirit Emperor of the Spirit God Sect, had already stepped into the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign level.

"Oh, so five super powers are simultaneously eyeing the Thunder Continent. It seems the ancient Thunder Palace ruins have indeed attracted a lot of attention," Mo Yu said with a slightly serious expression.

"After all, the Ancient Thunder Palace was a top super power in ancient times, and the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor was also one of the peak powerhouses in ancient times. It is not surprising that these forces have some ideas."

"If it weren't for the rapid rise of my Thunder Prison, and the mutual restraint among the major forces, other forces would probably have come knocking on our door long ago. That Venerable Taishan might have been lured here by them," said Emperor Feng.

Mo Yu nodded slightly. Lei Yu's rapid rise was entirely due to him, which was why it caught everyone off guard.

In addition, these major forces also restrained each other, which allowed Mo Yu to find an opening.

Mo Yu could foresee that if he began to unify the Thunder Continent, these major forces would definitely put aside their differences and do their best to suppress Thunder Prison.

After all, Thunder Prison, which has unified the Thunder Continent, is not to be underestimated. If given more time to develop, they probably won't even have the thought of coveting the Thunder Palace ruins.

However, if Lei Yu wants to grow stronger and eventually even join the ranks of the top super powers in the Great Thousand World, it must dominate the entire Tianlei Continent.

Only with the resources of this continent as its foundation can Delei Prison become such a behemoth in the vast world.

This wasn't due to Mo Yu's ambition, but rather because he knew that as Lei Yu continued to grow stronger, even without his intervention, the five super powers would be wary of him and unable to tolerate Lei Yu.

At that time, war was inevitable.

According to Mo Yu's estimation, if he hadn't defeated or even subdued Venerable Taishan, these five super powers would probably have already made a move against Lei Yu, and wouldn't have waited until today.

In their eyes, the ever-growing Lei Yu had long become a thorn in their side.

"Not in a hurry."

Mo Yu thought for a moment and said, "The situation in Thunder Prison can be maintained. As long as we can stall for a while longer, I will make them lose the courage to stay on Thunder Continent and retreat on their own initiative."

Although the other side has a large number of people and is powerful, given enough time, or when he reaches the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign level, these five super forces should be able to distinguish their strengths and weaknesses.

At that time, Mo Yu would naturally be able to subdue the enemy without fighting and dominate the Thunder Continent without lifting a finger.

Upon hearing Mo Yu's words, the Wind Emperor sighed and said, "I'm afraid they don't intend to give you that much time."

"What do you mean?" Mo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Wind Emperor's aged face was cold and stern as he slowly said, "I have received news that several days ago, the five super powers of Qiyang Mountain and Tianyou City formed an alliance, the Heavenly Thunder Alliance..."

"I'm worried that the Thunder Alliance is after our Thunder Prison."

Mo Yu frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that these five super powers would be so decisive as to form an alliance to block their Thunder Prison from dominating the Thunder Continent.

As Mo Yu fell silent, the hall also became quiet. However, at this moment, a ray of light suddenly swept in from outside the hall and was caught by Mo Yu. He sensed it slightly, and his cold face became even more indifferent.

"What's wrong?" Feng Di asked, seemingly having a bad feeling.

Mo Yu said indifferently, "News has come that the five leaders of the Thunder Alliance will hold a Thunder Banquet at the summit of Thunder Mountain in three days, and invite Lei Yu to attend."

"Most likely, it's a banquet that's not good at all," the Wind Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Prison Master, what should we do?" someone asked, staring at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu gently rubbed the table with his palm. Under the lamplight, a half-smile appeared on his handsome face, and cold lightning gathered in his silver eyes.

"Hehe, you have guts. I was originally planning to wait a while and let them get away unscathed on their own."

"I didn't expect them to be so eager to arm wrestle with me..."

"In that case, let's grant their wish."

As the last word fell, an extremely violent aura suddenly erupted from Mo Yu's body, shaking the void and causing his robes to billow, as if a thunder god had descended upon the world.

Inside the main hall, thunder roared and surged, like the cries of dragons and tigers, causing the space to tremble.

Faced with the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Mo Yu's body, everyone present was deeply moved. Mo Yu seemed to be becoming more and more terrifying. The mere leakage of his aura was enough to make people tremble with fear and feel uneasy.

"The news has spread that I, Lei Yu, will attend the banquet in three days."

Mo Yu slowly closed his eyes, yet his voice carried a chilling and murderous intent.

Since the other party wanted to provoke him, he had no choice but to bring forward the schedule for Lei Yu to dominate the Thunder Continent. This move was exactly what he wanted.
The Thunder Alliance held a Thunder Banquet to entertain the Lord of Thunder Prison. Once the news spread, the entire Thunder Continent was shaken and in an uproar.

In the present-day Thunder Continent, it is clear to all that as Mo Yu's reputation in the Great Thousand Worlds grows stronger, Thunder Prison's status is also rising accordingly, exuding an imposing aura and clearly indicating a promising future.

Faced with the Thunder Prison growing stronger day by day, the super powers that had long been eyeing the Thunder Continent could no longer hold back.

Therefore, some time ago, five super powers formed the 'Thunder Alliance' and made a powerful appearance on the Thunder Continent, with extraordinary momentum and signs of overwhelming Thunder Prison.

This caused some forces that had originally intended to join Lei Yu to hesitate and stop.

Clearly, they were afraid that Thunder Prison would decline or even be destroyed under the suppression of the Thunder Alliance.

Therefore, when news of the Thunder Banquet spread, almost all the forces on the Thunder Continent turned their attention to it.

They knew that this Heavenly Thunder Banquet would almost certainly determine the hegemon of the Heavenly Thunder Continent.

However, whether the overlord will be the Thunder Alliance or the Thunder Prison depends on the struggle between the two sides.

Regardless of the circumstances, this was a major event on the Thunder Continent, drawing their close attention.

……

The summit of Tianlei Mountain is now the headquarters of the Tianlei Alliance.

At the summit of Tianlei Mountain stands a magnificent palace.

At this moment, in one of the palace's secret chambers with a round table, five figures sat quietly.

Although there was no spiritual energy flowing around the five people, a terrifying sense of oppression emanated from them, causing the space inside the secret room to appear distorted.

"Then Mo Yu, the Lord of Thunder Prison, has accepted the invitation."

In the quiet, secluded room, an old man in a golden robe spoke slowly, his brows furrowed as he hesitated.

"That Mo Yu is a ruthless character. Some time ago, even Venerable Taishan was defeated by him and was even rumored to have been subdued by him. Do we really want to provoke him?"

“Ancestor Qi Yang, you are a respected veteran Heavenly Sovereign, why are you so afraid of a newly promoted Heavenly Sovereign?”

As the old man in the golden robe finished speaking, a man in a purple robe standing beside him, his eyes flashing with intense fire, sneered.

The old man in the golden robe glanced at him and sneered, "A newly promoted Heavenly Supreme? Then you, Venerable Purple Flame, go and try it out, and see how much benefit you can gain compared to Venerable Mount Tai?"

Upon hearing this, the man in purple robes paused, snorted, and dared not reply.

His strength was not much stronger than that of Venerable Taishan, and Venerable Taishan was defeated by Mo Yu, which shows how terrifying the latter's combat power was. Venerable Zi Huo also had self-awareness.

In a one-on-one fight, he would most likely be no match for Mo Yu.

"Alright, you two stop fighting."

Suddenly, a cold, eerie sound rang out in the secret room, and the temperature inside plummeted.

Upon hearing this voice, both the Old Ancestor Qi Yang and the Venerable Purple Fire stopped and looked at the person in the lead with a hint of apprehension.

There sat a man in white robes. He was handsome and, though middle-aged, it was clear that he must have been a great man in his youth. But what was even more astonishing was that his aura was unfathomable.

This white-robed man was the Spirit Emperor of the Spirit God Sect, whose strength had reached the half-step Immortal rank, making him the strongest among the five people present.

The Spirit Emperor's eyes slowly swept over the four people present, and he said in a calm voice, "You can see clearly what Lei Yu is up to. Mo Yu is clearly aiming for the overlord of the Thunder Continent."

"If we hadn't shattered Thunder Prison's ambitions for domination while we still could deal with him, we probably wouldn't have had anything to do with the Thunder Palace ruins afterward."

Upon hearing this, the four members of the Qi Yang Ancestor group nodded slightly, their expressions solemn.

"Think about the treasures inside the ancient Thunder Palace. If we obtain them, we might one day become one of the top super powers. At that time, the five of us will be famous for all eternity!" The Spirit Emperor said with a fervent smile.

Upon hearing this, a look of eagerness flashed in the eyes of the four Venerable Purple Flame.

Obtaining the ruins of the Thunder Palace will allow one to rise to the ranks of top super powers and achieve eternal fame…

"Emperor Ling is right. In that case, let's do it together!"

The four exchanged glances, and finally spoke in unison in a deep voice.

Regardless, the newly established Thunder Prison was ultimately weak, relying almost entirely on Mo Yu alone.

While Mo Yu's combat prowess was undeniable, they didn't believe he could single-handedly withstand the combined might of their five super powers.

"Hmph, if you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too ambitious, Mo Yu. This Thunder Continent is not something you can lay your hands on!" (End of Chapter)
