Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 122: Golden Beast Eyes

As Mo Yu flipped through the Mo family's decades of research notes on the transplantation of magical beast limbs, he couldn't help but frown.

Initially, he thought the Mo family were merely crazed madmen, but now, after reading through these notes, he realized that there was some merit to their method of transplanting magical beast limbs.

If he were to draw a comparison, the Mo family's methods were somewhat similar to those of Orochimaru from the Naruto world. Although their research was extremely twisted, for a family like the Mo family, which lacked a powerful bloodline or significant influence, it was a unique path they had chosen.

After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, there were very few people with extraordinary talent and luck like the protagonists in stories. Most were just ordinary people.

As he continued reading the notes on transplantation, Mo Yu quickly discovered two major drawbacks to the transplantation of magical beast limbs.

The first was an issue of aesthetics. The size and appearance of human limbs and magical beast limbs were vastly different. For example, Mo Cheng's Mountain Crushing Arm, while powerful, was also extremely ugly.

The second, and more deadly drawback, was that while gaining the power of the magical beast, the person would also be gradually corrupted by the beast's nature. Over time, they might completely devolve into a wild beast.

Given these risks, it became clear that the Mo family's transplantation technique wasn't as miraculous as it seemed; in fact, it came with significant dangers.

Of course, with Mo Yu's resources, he didn't need to rely on such methods to gain power.

After reading through the transplantation notes, Mo Yu lost interest and turned his attention to the glowing barrier nearby.

"Huh?"

As he carefully examined the barrier, Mo Yu suddenly let out a small exclamation. He noticed faint, almost imperceptible traces of spatial energy surrounding the barrier.

"This barrier must have been set up by Mo Cheng, and it even contains traces of spatial energy. The Mo family is quite impressive to have managed this," Ye Fan remarked, noticing the uniqueness of the barrier as well.

Spatial energy was a terrifying power that only a Dou Zong-level expert could begin to master. In the current Jia Ma Empire, there was likely no one capable of controlling such power.

However, some special items also contained traces of spatial energy, and with some modifications, it could be put to practical use.

Apparently, the Mo family had obtained an item with spatial energy by chance and used it to reinforce this barrier.

Mo Yu nodded slightly, then flicked his finger, causing a thread of red lightning to appear at his fingertip. He gently touched the lightning to the barrier.

"Zzz…"

As the lightning made contact, the barrier began to ripple, with waves spreading out from the point of contact. Gradually, the space around the barrier started to warp and distort.

Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled slightly. Fortunately, the spatial energy here didn't come from a Dou Zong-level expert. Otherwise, even his profound lightning wouldn't have been able to break through.

This only made Mo Yu more curious about what was inside. Whatever the Mo family had protected so carefully must be something extraordinary.

After two minutes of erosion by the profound lightning, the spatial energy finally dissipated. The lightning at Mo Yu's fingertips faded, revealing two wooden boxes under the now-transparent barrier.

Seeing the two boxes, Mo Yu exchanged a glance with Ye Fan before opening them one by one.

In the first box, there was a perfectly preserved, large beast eye. The eye exuded a mysterious and eerie aura, glowing with a golden color. It was about the size of a fist and, though it lay quietly in the box, it seemed almost alive, staring intently at Mo Yu and Ye Fan.

Being stared at by something like this sent a shiver down Mo Yu's spine.

"What a terrifying beast eye," Mo Yu muttered after calming himself. He then opened the second box, finding another golden beast eye identical to the first. Together, the two eyes formed a complete pair.

"Is this part of the Mo family's collection? It seems even more terrifying than that fifth-rank Mountain Crushing Arm of the Fiery Mountain Crushing Rhinoceros," Ye Fan remarked, surprised by the sight.

Although the origin of these golden beast eyes was unknown, the aura they emitted far surpassed that of the Mountain Crushing Arm. Their original owner must have been at least a sixth-rank magical beast, equivalent to a Dou Huang-level human expert.

Thinking this, Ye Fan felt a sense of relief. If the Mo family had managed to transplant these beast eyes, they might have been able to turn the tables.

However, Mo Yu knew that the Mo family couldn't have transplanted these golden beast eyes. For one thing, the eyes were larger than a human fist, making them completely unsuitable for human transplantation.

This was likely why Mo Cheng had turned his attention to Qing Lin. The power of her Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils was one reason, but more importantly, her human eyes made transplantation easier.

As Mo Yu considered the two wooden boxes, he stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Although he didn't know where the Mo family had obtained these golden beast eyes, the fact that they had been so carefully guarded suggested they were highly valuable.

From Mo Yu's perspective, these beast eyes contained immense power, and their original owner likely belonged to a rare and powerful magical beast lineage known for its eye techniques.

Mo Yu had no interest in transplanting these golden beast eyes himself, but he recalled that the transplantation technique could also be applied to magical beasts, as he had seen with the half-wolf, half-snake creature earlier.

Though he didn't know the exact origins of these golden beast eyes or what abilities they might hold, for now, he decided to keep them.

The Dou Qi Continent was vast, and based on Mo Yu's experience, even if these eyes weren't as powerful as the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils, they still held significant secrets. If he could find a way to use them on Zihuo, it might be a good option.

The Amethyst Winged Lion family, to which Zihuo belonged, was indeed a powerful magical beast lineage. However, in the Central Plains, they weren't considered particularly impressive. Zihuo's growth limit was likely around the seventh rank. If Mo Yu could enhance Zihuo's foundation, there might be a chance to break through this limit.

It's well known that for magical beasts, breaking through their natural limits is much more difficult than it is for humans. Without extraordinary opportunities, even with Mo Yu's help, it wouldn't be easy.

The last time Zihuo advanced, after absorbing the bloodline of a mysterious beast carcass in the small valley, there were no significant changes beyond the advancement itself. This demonstrated just how challenging it was for magical beasts to evolve. Otherwise, the world of magical beasts wouldn't be dominated by just three super beast clans.

"These golden beast eyes form a pair, so I won't compete with you for them, Brother Mo Yu," Ye Fan said, noticing the interest in Mo Yu's eyes. "My Ye family has already gained plenty from this venture. You can take the beast eyes."

Ye Fan was well aware of Mo Yu's potential, and he saw this as a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship. Naturally, he wasn't going to let it slip by.

Mo Yu understood Ye Fan's intentions and didn't hesitate to accept. With a light laugh, he said, "Then I'll remember this favor, Old Master Ye."

With that, Mo Yu stored the two wooden boxes in his storage ring. Once Zihuo reached the fifth rank and gained its own intelligence, Mo Yu could then ask if it wanted to use these beast eyes.

Although Mo Yu was Zihuo's master, he preferred to discuss such matters rather than force Zihuo to undergo an eye transplant against its will...
