Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”I remember those four people who came to accept the inheritance, the fastest among them took a full year to break through the level, yet you only took three months.”

Lin Mo can clearly feel that his soul had resisted the impact of the Demon Cold Flame once. The cold energy’s impact was like facing a million Iron Cavalry, resembling a lone boat on a vast ocean stirred by fierce winds; a slight misstep might lead to collapse.

”The cold energy is still increasing. With my soul’s current resilience, I probably won’t be able to withstand the second impact.” No matter how strong a person’s willpower is, it cannot enhance their strength. Strength is strength, willpower is willpower. For example, when someone encounters a crisis, they can erupt with power ten times stronger than usual, even burning life, but no matter how hard they try, they could never erupt with a hundred times the strength.

Because all of this is decided by foundation.

The second attack of the Demon Cold Flame’s corrosion arrived again.

The Divine Sea was covered in frost, the Soul Flames cowered in a corner, shivering.

Cold, freezing the soul, freezing the consciousness.

It seemed as if everything in the world would be frozen, once the soul is frozen, the only outcome is death, the soul shattered!

”Oh? The second corrosion has started, half a year earlier than I expected.”

The white-haired elder opened his eyes for the second time, quietly gazing downwards, his eyes deep as an endless Star Sea, impossible to fathom.

”Boy, if you cannot hold on, just give up, you’ve already done very well.”

The white-haired elder said lightly, ”With your strength, I originally held no hope. You must know that although your willpower is strong, your soul is ultimately too weak. Just like a Martial Artist wielding a wooden stick cannot defeat an ordinary person with a cannon, you should understand this reasoning!”

”Give up?”

Lin Mo sneered.

”For me, giving up is harder than holding on.”

”Hmm?”

The white-haired elder frowned slightly, then said nothing more, for he sensed Lin Mo’s Soul Flames becoming increasingly powerful, vaguely exceeding the Soul Flames of cultivators at the Golden Core Stage.

”You’re only at the Middle Innate cultivation stage, yet you’ve condensed your soul to such a degree, unbelievable?”

The white-haired elder exclaimed with surprise.

Lin Mo is different from ordinary cultivators; he is someone who has lived two lifetimes. Even though he has not cultivated as long as other cultivators, the different sensations and experiences of two lifetimes continuously tempered his soul and honed his will.

On Earth, Lin Mo suffered countless humiliations, for him, perhaps death would be better.

Yet, Heaven gave him a chance, sending him to the vast and wondrous Cultivation World. It was there that Lin Mo began to understand the pursuit of progress, clarifying his heart and seeing his true self, carving out a world for himself.

”In the Cultivation World, I am also of mediocre talent, if I chose to give up every time, I wouldn’t have achieved the Nine Revolutions Immortal Venerable!”

”Cultivation, master Qian Kun, make heaven and earth your servants!”

The soul roared with anger, that burning cluster of demonic Soul Fire in the cold heaven burst into a blaze, miraculously transforming into a Fire Dragon, charging towards the endless icy region.

”You actually want to directly impact the Third Layer, if you do this, even I cannot save you.”

The white-haired elder was shocked, shaking his head saying, ”If you cultivate for a few more centuries, there might be a way to obtain the Demon Cold Flame!”

Soul Flames seemed to be traversing through the endless icy region, constantly advancing deeper.

Momentarily, finding that cluster of faint blue Demon Cold Flame, shaped like Night Blooming Cereus, strange and seductive, containing the cold intent of death in its illusion.

”When enemies meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!”

Lin Mo’s will was firm, wiping away delusions in his heart.

Flexible Fire suddenly flew towards the Demon Cold Flame, the two intertwined, red and faint blue lights entangled, struggling with each other.

The Demon Cold Flame wanted to extinguish the Soul Flames, the Soul Flames wanted to dominate the Demon Cold Flame.

Between life and death, in a single thought.

”Boy, you truly aren’t afraid of death!”

The white-haired elder frowned, but he was helpless, only able to sigh heavily in his heart, disbelieving Lin Mo’s success: he knew the power of the Demon Cold Flame better than anyone. This sigh was merely for the regret of a cultivator with an incredibly steadfast willpower about to fall.

In the Lotus Ice Platform, Lin Mo shut his eyes tightly, wrapped in a large transparent ice sculpture, his face devoid of joy or pain, as calm as an ice sculpture sealed for millennia.

Yet, in this chilling condition, the Soul Flames and Demon Cold Flame were entangled.

”Persist, strive, fight!”

In his heart was a belief and faith beyond ordinary comprehension, constantly condensing the Soul Flames about to be frozen, willpower sustained the burning of Soul Flames, seeking a glimmer of vitality at the edge of extinction again and again.

”No, if this continues, no matter how condensed my Soul Flames are, they will eventually be swallowed and frozen by the icy cold of Demon Cold Flame.” Lin Mo felt a bit anxious in his heart, if he were to die, the Lin Family, which relies on him as their pillar, would also collapse. Furthermore, given the many people he offended earlier, if news of his death spread, other forces and families might not sit still and cause trouble for the Lin Family.

”Dad, Mom, Meng Die... Sima Zining...”

Countless warm and ordinary scenes with family flashed through Lin Mo’s mind, ”I am not just fighting for myself, but for those I love, bearing the weight forward!”

With this thought, the Soul Flames about to be extinguished by the Demon Cold Flame rekindled, and they began condensing, turning from bright red to dark red, shrinking in size, yet becoming more solid.

”This... this guy, truly unexpected?”

Always silently watching Lin Mo subdue the Demon Cold Flame, the white-haired elder sitting at the edge of the Lotus Ice Pool widened his eyes, abruptly standing up, his face revealing astonishment and shock.

”Perhaps, this little guy truly has a way to subdue the Demon Cold Flame, the previous four who accepted the inheritance had strength stronger than his, yet when it comes to willpower, he surpasses them greatly. What kind of experiences can forge such a person?”

The white-haired elder said with suspicion, shock, and joy, shaking his head.

However, whether one can succeed in something is related to their willpower, but if the foundation is too low, no matter how strong the willpower, it cannot compensate for this gap...

Just like an average person might escape mediocrity through effort, becoming an elite in a certain field, but only possessing strong willpower without exceptional talent and foundation can never make one the best.

Thus, although Lin Mo has the experiences of two lifetimes, developing a stronger belief and willpower than ordinary people, the Soul Flames have not become stronger because of willpower...

Cold!

Not the cold felt by the body, but the bone-chilling cold felt from the core of one’s soul, not painful but indeed bringing comfort, coldness and comfort are inherently contradictory, yet Lin Mo did not feel pain at this moment.

A dark red flame, a cold blue eerie flame.

The two flames entangled together, visible to the naked eye, the cold blue flame continually seeped into the Soul Flames, adding a tint of cold blue...

”No!”

Lin Mo finally reacted, gathering his about-to-collapse willpower again, letting out a deep roaring growl in the Divine Sea.

Warm, comfortable... This feeling in the soul was continuously weakening the soul’s resistance ability, suggesting the acceptance of Demon Cold Flame, once the Demon Cold Flame merged, the soul might instantly freeze, completely vanishing into the void of heaven and earth.

”Indeed, indeed...”

Lin Mo laughed heartily in his heart.

More excitement to follow tomorrow.
