Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The continuous black mountains resemble a giant python sprawling over the earth, faintly reflecting some metallic sheen. Eighty percent of the entire mountain range is rich in mineral metals, which, if mined, could yield a substantial amount of soul coins.

Of course, if this situation were outside, many families and sects would likely be willing to take over this mountain range, but here at the ’Great Ruins,’ entering is extremely difficult, and mining these veins would probably be greatly costly, outweighing the profits.

Break!

In front of a peak of this dark mountain range, a figure with black hair and black eyes appeared in the air, manipulating a translucent shuttle with two sharp ends and a narrow middle, surrounded by strands of white cold energy.

Accompanied by True Yuan surging into the Ice Origin Shuttle, the cold energy on the shuttle suddenly became even colder, rapidly spinning fiercely, transforming into an ice cone that fiercely pierced the black stone wall ahead, sparks flying at the point of impact.

”Such hard stone wall...”

Lin Mo furrowed his brows. With an ordinary stone wall, he could control the Ice Origin Shuttle to carve out a cave in moments, but clearly, this mountain range contains many metal substances, and the shuttle struggled to carve out a cave five to six meters in diameter and seven meters deep, consuming much True Yuan.

He planned to retreat into this cave to prepare for the final process of condensing the Golden Core. If successful, the tenth Star Power would fully manifest, significantly boosting his strength to the Star Lake Level Early Stage.

With stronger abilities, exploring this region filled with treasures and ruins would be more assured and capitalized.

Just as Lin Mo was about to enter the cave for retreat, he suddenly sensed a strong aura rapidly approaching from the southeast.

This aura seemed somewhat familiar. Lin Mo furrowed his sword-like brows and looked up, seeing a distant black line rapidly approaching, soon standing in the air, locking spiritual power onto him.

Upon recognizing the figure, Lin Mo couldn’t help but furrow his sharp sword brows, cupping his hands and addressing the black silhouette, ”Guardian Ge...”

The hovering black silhouette was a middle-aged man with a sinister look, sporting a black beard, while his black robe flapped in the strong wind, his narrow eyes carrying a hint of coldness as he looked at Lin Mo, teasingly, ”I felt this aura looked familiar; so it’s you.”

Upon seeing Ge Chuan’s appearance, Lin Mo’s mind quickly processed. Though they entered the ’Great Ruins’ together, he clearly saw Ge Chuan go to another Star Meteor. How could he appear on the Black Sea Star now? Could he have come looking for him?

Compared to the months ago at the Blood Demon Pool where Lin Mo had to exert full effort against one of Ge Chuan’s strikes, his strength had significantly improved now, rendering him fearless towards Ge Chuan.

”So Guardian Ge is also searching for treasures on Black Sea Star. If Guardian Ge has no other business, I shall take my leave.” Lin Mo cupped his hands, intending to leave, although he was not afraid of Ge Chuan, the opponent was nevertheless an Intermediate Star Lake Level Cultivator and had cultivated for a long time with deep foundations.

”Don’t rush.”

Ge Chuan furrowed his brows, his gaze scanning Lin Mo up and down, pondering, ”Lin Mo, did you acquire some treasure?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo’s expression slightly froze. He obtained an iron box in the deep sea, which only he knew. How did Ge Chuan know he gained a treasure?

”Guardian Ge, I haven’t acquired any treasure,” Lin Mo replied calmly, maintaining his usual composed demeanor.

”Hmph, still trying to fool me?”

Ge Chuan squinted slightly, a sharp light flickering deep within his eyes.

”Is the Taiyin Spirit Milk with you?” Ge Chuan slowly asked.

This time, Lin Mo’s face showed subtle changes, with surprise flashing across. The opponent not only knew he acquired a treasure but also that he obtained the Taiyin Spirit Milk, indicating the opponent likely possessed some strange treasure to detect others’ treasures.

”Guardian Ge, what Taiyin Spirit Milk, I’ve never heard of it.”

Lin Mo shook his head, furrowing his brows.

”Hmph!”

Ge Chuan coldly snorted again, spiritual energy surged, surrounding him with black fog like tiny snakes, suddenly a strong suppression descended upon Lin Mo, pressing his body as if enduring a mountain.

It was the suppression inherent to cultivation levels. Though Lin Mo’s combat power matched the Star Lake Level Early Stage, his cultivation wasn’t at such level. Facing the Intermediate Star Lake Level Ge Chuan still allowed him to feel the opponent’s suppression.

”Guardian Ge, what do you mean by this?” Lin Mo’s True Yuan surged swiftly within, glare bursting forth, staring down the opponent without fear, True Yuan quivered resisting the suppression forcefully.

”Lin Mo, you’re one of our Seven Sects’ top talents, your combat power is strong... But if we fight, my cultivation surpassing yours by an entire realm makes you no match for me no matter how strong you are.” Ge Chuan’s gaze turned cold, voice becoming sinister.

”Guardian Ge, you plan to act against me, aren’t you afraid Master Su and the Sect Leader would find out?”

Lin Mo clenched his fists, his True Yuan surging violently again. If truly fight, defeating Ge Chuan wasn’t certain, but fleeing wouldn’t be difficult.

”Lin Mo, you killed my disciple Yuan Qing, I’ll let that go as long as you’re willing to give me the Taiyin Spirit Milk.” Ge Chuan looked at Lin Mo, saying indifferently.

Evidently, he didn’t want to start a direct fight with Lin Mo unless absolutely necessary.

”Is Yuan Qing killed by me, does Guardian Ge have proof?” Lin Mo sneered.

”Brat, I’ve been quite lenient, don’t be disrespectful...” Ge Chuan’s facial muscles twitched slightly, eyes like a snake’s venomous stare, he intensely gazed at Lin Mo, saying, ”I’ll pay one million soul coins for your Taiyin Spirit Milk, how about it?”

The Taiyin Spirit Milk, the small bottle Lin Mo possessed was worth ten million soul coins. Offering one million soul coins for purchase essentially equated to robbery.

”Guardian Ge, I don’t have Taiyin Spirit Milk on me, I’m sorry to disappoint you, I shall take my leave!” Lin Mo coldly said, transforming into a Flowing Light attempting to depart.

Suddenly, the swirling black fog on Ge Chuan transformed into a black python, roaring toward Lin Mo with even greater speed.

Facing Ge Chuan’s attack, Lin Mo raised his sword-like brows, clenched his right fist, gathering Cold Qi True Essence, fiercely smashing it out, shattering the black python formed by black fog into strands of black gas dissipating into the sky.

Lin Mo hadn’t expected Ge Chuan would actually attack him for Taiyin Spirit Milk, he shouted, ”Ge Chuan, you want to kill me, aren’t you afraid of Seven Sects’ punishment?”

”Heh, Lin Mo... I initially didn’t intend to kill you, but you’re so rude!” Ge Chuan revealed a sinister grin, ”This is the Great Ruins, full of dangers. If Lin Mo, Seven Sects’ genius disciple, is killed by a beast for entering dangerous territories, who could blame me?”

Hearing this, Lin Mo knew that this battle was inevitable!
