Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Liu Qingyang’s palm gathered Spiritual Energy and placed it on the tree trunk. Instantly, a green ’swirl’ appeared, resembling a door.

”Mr. Zhuo, let’s go.”

Liu Qingyang said, taking the lead with Wu Mi as they stepped into the green swirl. Lin Mo hesitated slightly but followed them inside.

The surroundings changed, and they appeared at the entrance of a cave.

”It was here that we encountered the Demon Flame Leopard; there must be treasures inside.” Liu Qingyang’s willow leaf eyebrows furrowed towards the center of her brow, and her face also showed a look of caution.

Wu Mi’s palm gathered a green orb of light, which autonomously flew into the cave, illuminating the stone walls, turning the whole cave ’greenish’.

”The Demon Flame Leopard has already been killed by me, so there shouldn’t be any danger.”

Lin Mo spoke up.

”Mm, let’s go in and take a look.”

Liu Qingyang, Lin Mo, and Wu Mi entered the cave. It was quite spacious, at least twenty meters wide, fifty meters wide; only a cave this large would be enough for the Demon Flame Leopard to rest inside, making it feel very spacious.

The cave entrance wasn’t very deep, approximately one hundred meters or so. The trio walked slowly, as no one could predict whether potential unexpected incidents might occur, especially on this island where anything could happen.

Tap, tap, tap!

Due to the temperature difference inside and outside the stone walls, some water droplets condensed on the walls and dripped down onto the ground.

Within a few minutes, the cave’s width expanded more, quickly reaching the cave’s bottom, revealing a large stone platform and some Demon Flame Leopard fur.

”Red Flame Grass!”

”Blood Coagulation Fruit!”

A few crimson grasses with shimmering glimmers grew beside the stone platform. These herbs were top-grade fire attributes, whether used for Contracted Beast consumption or refining Fire Attribute Elixirs, they were considered superb materials.

Wu Mi widened her gleaming eyes, excitedly pointing at those grasses, then quickly ran over, carefully picking the herbs.

Lin Mo didn’t show any interest in these medicinal herbs and furrowed his brows. The Mystic Realm Sect created this small Secret Realm; there must be more to it than just medicinal herbs.

”Xiao Mi, Mr. Zhuo, look over there...” Liu Qingyang’s voice sounded out.

Looking in the direction she pointed, on the other side of the stone platform sat a black Treasure Box, its complete blackness making it hard to spot.

”This must be the Treasure left by the Mystic Realm Sect. I wonder what it contains?”

Lin Mo took out the Xuanyuan Sword, holding it in his palm, ready to act in case of danger.

”The Demon Flame Leopard is dead; it should be safe. I’ll take a look.” Liu Qingyang gathered a cyan orb of light in her palm, slowly approaching the Treasure Box, then cautiously opening it.

Lin Mo and Wu Mi watched the Treasure Box without blinking. As the Treasure Box opened, a white light burst forth, projecting into the air.

The light condensed into the shape of a Guiding Envoy.

”Congratulations, fortunate Trial Taker, you have obtained the island’s Secret Treasure. May your challenge go smoothly!”

After a simple statement, the image of the Guide gradually dissipated, and the light disappeared as well.

The trio stood before the Treasure Box, and upon looking inside, saw only a black ’thing’, pitch-black and not very clear.

Liu Qingyang reached into the Treasure Box, retrieving the black object, while Wu Mi’s light orb illuminated the surroundings. Only then did Lin Mo see clearly; it was a ’turtle shell’.

A purely black turtle shell, slightly larger than a palm, appeared very ordinary with nothing unusual.

It wasn’t a Magic Treasure nor top-tier material.

”What is this thing?” Wu Mi looked confused, indignantly saying, ”Did we go through all this trouble, almost dying at the Demon Flame Leopard’s mouth, only to get a turtle shell?”

”It probably isn’t an ordinary turtle shell. I’ll try using Spiritual Energy.” Liu Qingyang furrowed her delicate eyebrows, then gathered Spiritual Energy in her palm.

Spiritual Energy penetrated the turtle shell, soon revealing a series of red lines on the shell. These lines increased, connected, and then formed something like a ’map’.

”It’s a map, another hunt for treasures?” Wu Mi frowned, ”The Mystic Realm Sect is just playing with us.”

”It truly is a map, but I don’t know what it leads to.”

Liu Qingyang nodded, equally filled with doubts.

Lin Mo scanned with Divine Thought, storing the map’s image in his mind. If enough points were gathered, he might have an interest in visiting the place marked on the map.

”Let’s keep it for now; we’re ’old and weary’. Let’s find a place to rest for a couple of days.” Liu Qingyang stored the turtle shell in a Space Ring and immediately suggested.

This battle took a heavy toll on Liu Qingyang and Wu Mi, and Lin Mo was also injured. Using the ’Blood Demon Vine’ as a body, he possessed only half a soul. If it weren’t for the initial success of ’Heaven and Earth Battle’, he might not have settled the Demon Flame Leopard.

The three left the cave, reappearing beside the large tree and then exiting from the green swirl.

”I’ll notify He Yu and inform him of our location.” Wu Mi held a Dharma Seal, summoning a Light Bird that fluttered and flew into the sky, swiftly heading in a direction.

”Mr. Zhuo, let’s find a place to recuperate first.”

Liu Qingyang proposed.

”Good.” Lin Mo nodded.

Soon, the trio found a relatively secluded cliff, intending to carve out a cave for resting within the stone wall, making it difficult to face Fierce Beast attacks.

Upon approaching the cliff, a massive black Stele stood erect at the peak, about a hundred meters high and thirty meters wide, piercing the sky like a sharp sword.

”What is this?” Lin Mo’s eyes revealed curiosity.

”It’s the Black Stele; you don’t know it?” Wu Mi curiously glanced at him.

Just before, when Lin Mo killed the Demon Flame Leopard, both she and Liu Qingyang were very puzzled because Lin Mo ranked last, yet displayed such extraordinary power, undeniably worthy of top ten ranks.

”Black Stele?”

Lin Mo walked curiously to the Black Stele, only then seeing it listed the rankings of all geniuses on the island according to points, with the Fallen Angel Prince at the top with fifty thousand points.

The Second was the Ninth Prince with twenty thousand points.

The Third was Pei Yongjun with fifteen thousand points.

”Uh...”

Lin Mo felt embarrassed, ranked at fifty-fourth place with just one thousand points, undoubtedly among the last.

His Mystical Order remained with his original body, while this clone spent a month practicing Swordsmanship against Fierce Beasts, accumulating only one thousand points; otherwise, he wouldn’t even hit one thousand points.

No wonder Liu Qingyang and Wu Mi looked at him strangely; despite the blood Overflow Pill’s effect enhancing it, his strike still carried awe-inspiring, heart-shaking power. How could it result in just one thousand points?

Liu Qingyang and Wu Mi both amassed eleven thousand points, ranking within the top thirty ranks. ”You haven’t seen the Golden Scroll in the Divine Sea, detailing the Black Stele’s explanation. After entering the island for the first month, the whole island was covered with Black Steles, refreshing every month. Points indicate the Trial Taker’s skill ranking.” Liu Qingyang patiently explained.
