Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Alright, let’s talk business.”

Fang Tangjing’s face turned serious. ”Everyone has been to the Prison Tower once. You probably all know the situation inside. The First and Second Layers are no problem for us, and we should be able to pass the Third Layer. But after the Fourth Layer, things get more difficult and there’s a degree of danger.”

Listening to Fang Tangjing’s words, Liang Yuan, Wu Jinfeng, and Wu Yingxi had subtle changes in their expressions. Fang Tangjing looked at Lin Mo and said, ”Let me tell you about the situation inside in detail. The Prison Tower has a total of nineteen layers, each with its unique situation. There are special demon beasts and illusion beasts within. The strength of the beasts on the First Layer isn’t very strong, roughly at the Divine Early Stage. The Second Layer is the Divine Power Middle Stage. The Third Layer mostly has Late Stage Divine Power strength, but this isn’t certain. Occasionally, you will encounter Late Stage beasts in the Second Layer.”

Lin Mo listened attentively, not daring to be careless. In the Cultivation World, countless incidents can occur. A slight negligence might lead to downfall in seemingly harmless places.

Lin Mo had witnessed countless instances like this in the Cultivation World—places that seem harmless but hide extremely dangerous death traps. ”Of course, if we’re fighting individually, even the Third Layer is easy for us four to get through. But the attacks from those demon beasts and illusion beasts are quite bizarre, and they are numerous. With a slight carelessness, one could encounter danger. And the only way to escape danger when encountered is to immediately leave the tower layer; those beasts won’t chase after targets beyond their barrier.”

Fang Tangjing explained carefully.

”I understand.” Lin Mo nodded his head. With his strength, if he remained cautious, he could probably reach the Fourth Layer, where all the beasts are at the Star Wheel Realm. There’s danger if faced with a group attack, even if going solo is manageable.

”Alright, enough talk. Let’s head to the Prison Tower. We just need to obtain Starlight; my two disciples also need to break through to the Star Wheel Realm.” Liang Yuan said in a cold voice.

”Alright, let’s go.” Wu Jinfeng and Wu Yingxi exchanged a look and dove toward the lake, entering it directly like fish.

Liang Yuan, Fang Tangjing, and Lin Mo followed closely behind.

Three mountain peaks.

Disciples of various martial arts pavilions were standing on the mid-mountain platforms, watching the five dive to the lake’s bottom.

”Which layer do you think the Master will reach this time?”

”At least the Third Layer; the Master entered the Second Layer last time, not to mention now.”

”Who exactly is this Lin Mo?”

”Actually, going to the Prison Tower with the Master and others.”

”Alright, all of you go back to cultivate. Once you reach the Star Wheel Mirror, you will have the qualification to enter the Prison Tower and collect the Starlight.” Suddenly, a powerful voice rang in the ears of these young martial artists.

”Yes, Coach.” A few young disciples showed an awkward expression, a trace of fear appearing as they quickly headed toward the martial arts pavilion.

This powerful voice came from a burly man with a bald head, most notably with eight scars on his bald head.

”Hope the Master can gather more Starlight this time.”

Eastern mountain peak.

A young man watched the calm center of the lake, a glint of coldness in his eyes.

”Brother Luo, are you saying Lin Mo is the one who killed your brother?”

Beside him, a lean young man spoke up.

”It’s none of your concern. I will train hard, and one day I will surpass him and kill him.” Luo Danhua snorted coldly, his eyes venomous like a poison snake.

...

The lake water was chilling cold, seemingly capable of freezing even a person’s soul.

Liang Yuan and Fang Tangjing expanded their True Essence Shields over their bodies, repelling the cold lake water to the outside.

Wu Jinfeng and Wu Yingxi, however, did not waste their True Yuan, wrapping themselves in dark red war armor, leaving only their eyes exposed. Evidently, this armor had the effect of warmth and cold resistance, allowing them to swim through the water like nimble fish.

Lin Mo also erected a protective shield over his body. Although his body was not afraid of this level of cold energy, having wet clothes was a bit uncomfortable.

The five, akin to bullets shot from a gun, left five white bubble trails as they swiftly swam toward the lake’s bottom.

”Descend one thousand meters, pressure increase fivefold, adjust armor to withstand pressure.”

The watch on Wu Jinfeng’s wrist emitted an electronic voice. Lin Mo glanced at it multiple times; evidently, Huaxia’s current level of technology concocted sci-fi products, likely obtained from certain relics for research. Otherwise, considering Earth’s current technological level, it would at least take a hundred years to manufacture these things.

”Two thousand meters left, should reach the lake bottom.”

Wu Jinfeng’s voice entered Lin Mo’s ears. In the water, it’s impossible to talk and, coupled with their high-speed movement, they could only communicate through True Yuan transmission.

What?

This lake reaches a depth of three thousand meters? In the ocean, due to the uneven seabed, it becomes impossible to measure the depth of sea water—though already known, the depth merely is fifteen thousand meters. Yet this lake unexpectedly has a depth of three kilometers, and a regular diver dropping down would quickly be crushed into a meat

pie by high-pressure water.

In less than a minute, the five reached the lake’s bottom, a pitch-black space before them. Shadows of water plants subtly floated, while fish completely dared not enter such a deep area.

”Move straightforward!”

The five moved straightforward shortly, and Lin Mo’s eyes revealed a vast black shadow stationed in the seawater.

Near it, he realized that this black object was actually an enormous towering spire. The surface showcased a metal-like dark luster, the most astonishing feature being this tower appeared as one solid piece, seemingly crafted from a massive iron stone block with no signs of joint seams

, and not typical tower-like but more akin to ancient Egyptian pyramid shape, a three-dimensional triangular cone.

The five stood before this towering iron structure, akin to tiny sesame seeds.

”This tower has nineteen layers, each layer’s height surpasses thirty-layer commercial residential buildings, and the area is extraordinarily vast. After going in, various scenarios might appear, and everyone must stay alert,” Wu Jinfeng reminded.

”Enough with the talk, let’s go in.”

Liang Yuan used True Yuan transmission, instantly flying toward the iron tower.

Seeing the iron tower from afar, there remained a three hundred meters’ distance from its bottom.

Reaching the iron tower’s base, only then did they discover the entire black iron block tower etched with intricate ancient runes, emitting an ancient and eternal aura, occasionally a strand of golden light flashing through.

These runes were likely arrays, engraved on such a massive iron tower, the person who constructed it must have possessed extraordinary skills.

Lin Mo marveled inwardly.

”Alright, Xiao Mo, get ready; we’ll go in together.”

Fang Tangjing transmitted via True Yuan.

To be continued wonderfully tomorrow.
