Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

After a fierce battle, Lin Mo fought his way through the army of Ink Beetles using nothing but his fists, carving out a bloody path, allowing everyone to avoid the attacks and leave the area relatively unscathed.

Having witnessed Lin Mo’s strength, even Zhang Jiang became deeply interested in him. Martial Artists cultivate True Yuan and their bodies, but to hone the body to a level that even Beasts cannot withstand, like Lin Mo, is indeed rare.

Everyone regrouped in a forest free of Beasts to rest. The appearance of the Original Fragment made their hearts burn with desire, for it directly enhances the Power of Laws, something that cannot be attained simply through cultivating Spiritual Energy and True Yuan.

To increase the Power of Laws, one needs to comprehend, encounter opportunities, and possess talent. Reflecting in meditative cultivation can increase True Yuan and Spiritual Energy, but it will not affect the Power of Laws.

All cultivation stems from Cosmic Laws. By mastering the Laws, one can become a true strong figure.

Thus, every Cultivator values the Laws extremely highly. Like Lord Tao, breaking through the seventeenth level of the Illusion Realm shows his high soul strength and future potential to perceive deeper Laws. Even if Lord Tao’s power is not as high as Duanmu Jinglin’s, he still gained the attention of the Seven Sects Masters and senior leaders.

”Original Fragment!” Zhu Bo stood in a forest with two fellow disciples, his eyes filled with greed and fervor. ”It’s a Treasure that directly enhances the Power of Laws!”

”Senior Brother Zhu, do you want the Original Fragment?” Jian Xing saw through Zhu Bo’s intentions and asked softly.

”Of course, who doesn’t want the Original Fragment? Shame we don’t have Lin Mo’s luck; he found it first.” Zhu Bo snorted coldly.

If someone else had obtained the Original Fragment, he might have seized it directly. However, seeing Lin Mo’s displayed strength made Zhu Bo highly cautious; the sheer power of Lin Mo’s physical strength was truly shocking.

Standing aside, Wei Yuxuan’s eyes flashed craftily as she softly suggested, ”Senior Brother Zhu, why don’t you spend soul coins to buy it? He’d have to give you some face, and if he refuses, he’d offend you, giving you a reason to deal with him.”

”Hmm?” Zhu Bo mused upon hearing this, ”His physical power is strong, but if it comes to a fight, I might not be weaker. I want the Original Law Fragment!”

With that, Zhu Bo led Jian Xing, Wei Yuxuan, and the others swiftly toward Lin Mo’s location.

At this moment, Lin Mo was standing with Zhang Jiang.

”Guard the Original Law Fragment carefully. If others see it, they’ll be envious and might bring unnecessary trouble,” Zhang Jiang advised, his deep eyes fixed on Lin Mo.

”Thank you for the reminder, Guardian Zhang,” Lin Mo acknowledged with a nod, then said, ”Guardian Zhang, this Space Ring contains belongings of three fellow disciples from the Five Sects. When I found them, they had already been killed by the Demon Clan.”

”Tan’er and the others... they indeed met misfortune.” Zhang Jiang took the Space Ring and, with a sweep of his Divine Thought, saw its contents. Among them were treasures he’d given to the three, leading him to sigh deeply.

Lin Mo initially wanted to hand it to Zhang Jiang directly, given Zhang’s role as the Guardian of the Five Sects. However, revealing it prematurely would likely stir suspicion, but now that he had exposed part of his strength, Lin Mo had no concerns, especially as he discovered through interaction that Zhang Jiang was upright and without malicious intent.

”The Demon Clan killed my three disciples from the Five Sects; the items should have been looted...” Zhang Jiang thought of something, staring at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stated calmly, ”Those four individuals have been killed by me.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiang couldn’t help but gasp, his eyes filled with shock.

To slay three talented disciples of the Five Sects, those four individuals must have been at least Star Lake Level Early Stage or even Intermediate cultivation. Lin Mo’s ability to kill them swiftly without alerting other Demon Clan members meant his speed in killing was incredibly fast, so much so that they couldn’t notify others.

Even he would struggle to accomplish such a feat.

”This child holds promise!” Zhang Jiang gazed at Lin Mo, pondering aloud, as if seeing a bright star rising in the Mystic Realm Sect. With Star Lake Level Early Stage cultivation, slaying four Demon Clan Guards was indeed formidable, ranking among the top three within the Outer Sect.

Their conversation was not deliberately concealed, causing Zhu Bo, Jian Xing, Wei Yuxuan, and the others who had just arrived nearby to turn pale.

Single-handedly slaying four Star Lake Level Demon Clan Guards, leaving them without a chance to escape and notify companions—that kind of power is truly terrifying.

”Zhu Bo, do you have any business here?” Zhang Jiang put away the Space Ring, turned, and glanced at Zhu Bo, asking.

Zhu Bo’s face was a mix of emotions, and his expression was strange. He glanced at Lin Mo and swallowed, saying, ”No, nothing, just passing by.”

Knowing Lin Mo could single-handedly kill four Star Lake Level Demon Clan Guards, Zhu Bo’s last glimmer of hope vanished. He admitted to himself that he couldn’t achieve what Lin Mo had, and provoking Lin Mo further would be courting death.

”Oh, so you were all hiding here, making it so hard for me to find you!”

At this time, a sinister voice suddenly echoed through the forest.

Lin Mo’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed. For someone to get so close without his detecting it, their highest cultivation level must be Star Sea Level.

As the voice rang out, over ten Black Armor Guards appeared around them, each wearing black masks with only cold, icy eyes visible.

”Even killing a Guardian rewards thirty thousand soul coins—yet another Guardian is here,” the leader among the Black Armor Guards of the Demon Clan slowly walked toward Lin Mo and the others, smiling subtly with cold, extreme cruelty in his eyes.

”Star Sea Level Early Stage cultivation!” Zhang Jiang noticed the leader, whose presence emitted a subtle suppression, putting everyone under immense pressure.

Duanmu Jinglin, Qian Zhimo, and the others turned pale. Though hiding on the Absolute Region planet, they were swiftly discovered by the Demon Clan, and, worst of all, faced a formidable foe at Star Sea Level Early Stage.

Zhang Jiang was only at High-level Star Lake cultivation, and facing a Star Sea Level Early Stage figure, he stood no chance, especially with over ten Star Lake Level guards nearby threateningly.

”Did you really think hiding in the Absolute Region would keep you safe?” the leader said mockingly, ”Before you die, remember my name, Gu Sha.”

As he finished speaking, the surrounding killing intent surged upwards, and the temperature in the forest dropped dramatically.

”Guardian Zhang, leave this person to me. You lead the others against the Demon Clan Cultivators.” Lin Mo suddenly stepped forward, his gaze fierce and unyielding as he stared at Gu Sha.
