Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Could it be because of the array in the pool?” Zhen Yuanzi said.

Lin Mo slightly furrowed his brows, nodded, and said, ”It must be due to the array in the pool. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, using Mithril to temper the muscles and bones can at most enhance combat power amplitude by thirty times. It’s impossible to achieve a hundredfold combat power amplitude.”

That big shot set up the Secret Silver Pool here and inscribed a heaven-defying array inside the pool, plus the Sky-reaching Snake bound by iron chains. Connecting all this, it’s not hard to imagine that the big shot wanted to cultivate a dragon-shaped creature, only to end in apparent failure.

”The True Dragon is merely a thing of legends; how could it possibly be cultivated?”

Lin Mo shook his head in his heart.

”Mr. Lin, we should think of a way to get out of here first.”

Zhen Yuanzi spoke.

”Yes, indeed, I need to find a way to leave here. I’ve been cultivating here for several months now and have no idea what’s happening outside.” Lin Mo muttered.

Perhaps Ye Beichen and others think I am dead, or perhaps cultivators from Han Country are on Duwu Island at this moment. After all, this Sky-reaching Snake appeared in Han Country’s Sea Domain, and those cultivators are probably aware but unable to enter this Secret Realm.

Rumble!

Just as the two were talking, a loud sound echoed from the sky.

”What’s happening?” Zhen Yuanzi’s face showed a hint of surprise as he raised his head to look at the sky.

Lin Mo also raised his head, his eyes fixating on the murky sky. He saw the sky seeming to crack open, the murky glow gradually dissipating, revealing a bit of azure that expanded steadily.

Since the two entered this mysterious place, both space and the heavens were in a state of murkiness. The logic suggests they were absorbed into the sea floor by a whirlpool, so they should be at the bottom of the sea. Yet, this space feels isolated, with no visibility of any conditions in the sea.

As the sound from above grew louder, more sea view was exposed—schools of fish, sea plants, water curtains... various intriguing marine lifeforms gradually appeared.

Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi realized that they were seemingly inside a gigantic glass dome, with no seawater within the dome, as if it had been vacuumed.

Through the seawater above, some rays of sunlight could be seen, though they weren’t very bright due to the deep submersion.

”Mr. Lin, the power of the prohibition has weakened considerably. We should be able to get out now.” Zhen Yuanzi, being at the Golden Core Stage, had far superior sensing abilities compared to Lin Mo, who was in the Innate Realm, and he immediately exclaimed excitedly.

”Great, who would’ve thought we’d be so lucky for the prohibition to weaken at this moment.”

Lin Mo’s mouth curled into a smile. Setting up such a massive prohibition must utilize some kind of array. If you follow the principle of conservation of energy, as long as there is continuous circulation, the array’s energy would practically not deplete. However, with the long existence of the prohibition and the usual attempts of the Sky-reaching Snake to counter it,

the array inevitably developed some flaws, causing the prohibition’s power to weaken over time.

”Let’s go; let’s get out of here first.” Lin Mo raised his head, eyes gleaming, instantly turning into a streak of light rushing upward.

Zhen Yuanzi nodded, enveloped in a mass of black mist, also transforming into a black fog heading upwards. The two initially encountered some resistance as they passed through the prohibition, but with their level of skill, such strength of prohibition posed no real challenge. After breaking through the prohibition, they formed spiritual energy shields on their bodies, cleaving through the seawater like two nimble fish, quickly bursting through the currents, leaving behind two white water trails.

Puff!

In the boundless, azure sea, the two suddenly burst out from the depths, raising two magnificent water splashes, with the sunlight reflecting tiny golden sparkles.

In the sky, two figures stood tall; they were none other than Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi.

”We finally made it out; the outside world indeed feels more pleasant.” Lin Mo touched the warm sunlight with a smile on his gentle face.

”Indeed, but this time, Mr. Lin has also obtained a great opportunity. If you encounter Jin Taiyu and the others again, you can definitely kill them outright.”

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled lightly.

Lin Mo gazed into the distance, only able to vaguely see a black dot floating on the sea’s surface, grinning, ”Perhaps it won’t be long before we meet again...”

On Duwu Island, the sunlight bathed everything.

The salt-tinged sea breeze swept over the island in waves. In the island’s center, three gigantic flat gray-brown stones had three individuals seated cross-legged, meditating, as streams of spiritual energy poured into their bodies from all directions.

”Hmm? Two strong auras have appeared in the sea ahead.”

Zheng Renhe suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his dark eyes, his expression taut.

”It’s Lin Mo’s aura!” Another woman sitting cross-legged nearby also opened her eyes, her face reflecting surprise and shock.

”He’s not dead yet, astonishingly escaped from the Sky-reaching Snake’s jaws... Fine, today I’ll make sure he perishes under my sword.” Jin Taiyu’s expression was cold, with a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The three transformed into streaks of light, soaring into the sky, remnants of their afterimages still sitting on the rock surface, until moments later, they vanished like dissipating clouds.

”Lin Mo, so it really is you. I didn’t expect your life to be so tenacious, escaping from the Sky-reaching Snake’s mouth.” Jin Taiyu’s icy gaze remained fixed on Lin Mo, his cold voice ringing throughout the sky.

”I survived, you should be glad, for it means I can be the one to kill you.” Lin Mo said calmly.

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Jin Taiyu burst into laughter with disdain, snorting coldly, ”Last time you slipped away from me, it was a humiliation for me, Jin Taiyu. Now that I’ve attained full power, killing you... will be as simple as crushing an ant.”

”Is that so? Killing you will be just as easy for me.” Lin Mo said, his palms clenching into fists.

Moon Reading Fate glanced at Lin Mo seductively, ”You look pretty fair and clean, such a pity. Jin Taiyu, we’ll hold him for you so you can finish him off yourself.”

With that, Moon Reading Fate and Zheng Renhe simultaneously attacked Zhen Yuanzi. Though it was impossible for them to kill Zhen Yuanzi, they could certainly delay him.

”Young lad, die under my sword.” Jin Taiyu, gripping the Kusanagi Sword, suddenly erupted with energy, doubling his combat power amplitude, intending to execute Lin Mo with a single deadly strike to quell the fury in his chest.

”Xuanyuan Sword!”

Lin Mo gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, his entire aura suddenly surging, charging fiercely toward Jin Taiyu. He used no swordsmanship technique, only a single ancient and primitive stroke, as if to cleave open the heavens.

The sudden burst of aura made Jin Taiyu’s expression change drastically. His eyes revealed a look of terror, his face filled with shock. Before he could react, Jin Taiyu was directly cleaved in two, his body—red and white—splashed into the seawater, and his soul was shattered into dust by the violent aura.

Stay tuned for more excitement tomorrow.
