Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Mystic Realm Sect, Main Peak.

The Sect Leaders of the Seven Sects and several Hall Masters were all sitting in the hall when suddenly, the leading elder of the Seven Sects opened his eyes. In his tiny eyes, brilliant light sparkled, and he laughed heartily, ”Haha, it seems that Lord Tao is really about to break through the nineteenth layer of the Illusion Realm. Everyone, come with me to have a look.”

Saying that, the group of people instantly transformed into streaks of flowing light, darting out of the hall, heading directly towards the direction of the Illusion Realm Mountain at high speed.

Soon, the senior members led by the Sect Leaders of the Seven Sects arrived at the Illusion Realm Mountain. Lin Li, in mid-air, gazed distantly at that solid high tower. The eighteenth floor of the tower was radiant, dazzling, with waves of peculiar and powerful spiritual power emanating from it.

”I’m afraid our Seven Sects will hold our heads high this time!” The Sect Leader folded his hands behind his back, and his face, as withered as tree bark, gained a bit more color, laughing heartily.

”If Lord Tao can break through the nineteenth layer of the Illusion Realm, our Seven Sects shall surely spread far and wide in the Mystic Realm Sect. In the last hundred thousand years, no one has been able to break through the nineteenth layer of the Illusion Realm while still in the Outer Sect!”

”Indeed, who would have thought that two super geniuses would emerge from Yu Lan Star...”

Several Hall Masters chimed in with their discussions, naturally referring to Lin Mo as the other genius, the champion of the arena three years ago.

”Compared to Lord Tao, that guy is still lacking a bit.” Suddenly, a Hall Master in a white robe snorted coldly, his tone somewhat unfriendly. This Hall Master was Feng Rupei.

Back then, Lin Mo defeated Feng Rupei’s meticulously trained disciple Teng Yi to become the arena champion, effectively stepping on Feng Rupei to rise up, making it hard for Feng Rupei to lift his head within the Seven Sects for the past three years. Naturally, he held some dissatisfaction towards Lin Mo.

Rumble...

In the sky, rumbling sounds echoed through the clouds. The previously only eighteen-layered tower gradually formed a phantom layer above it, which soon began to consolidate, and the nineteen-layered tower shone with extreme brilliance, enveloping the entire mountain peak in divine light.

”Lord Tao has broken through the nineteenth layer!”

Surprised or expecting cheers echoed across the mountain peak. In the last hundred thousand years, the Seven Sects have been the only ones in the Mystic Realm Sect without anyone breaking through the nineteenth layer of the Illusion Realm within three years in the Outer Sect. Who would have thought someone achieved it today?

Soon, the nineteen-layered tower gradually blurred, slowly dissipating in front of everyone’s eyes. Then, a white figure appeared in mid-air, with black hair draped over his shoulders fluttering in the wind, valiant and proud—it was none other than Lord Tao.

At this moment, Lord Tao possessed an elusive aura that made him undetectable to some cultivators with lower soul strength due to the high intensity of his soul.

”Haha, our Seven Sects have produced a genius of a hundred thousand years.” Soon, a vast voice appeared in the sky, and the Seven Sects’ Sect Leader led a group of Hall Masters towards Lord Tao.

Lord Tao raised his head, looking at the Sect Leader and the Hall Masters flying towards him, and cupped his hands, ”Sect Leader, esteemed Hall Masters.”

”Good, very good...” The Seven Sects’ Sect Leader laughed heartily, ”Lord Tao, you are a hundred-thousand-year-rare genius of our Seven Sects. Even if you enter the Inner Sect, I’m afraid the Sect Master would take you as his Core Disciple.”

”Sect Leader, you’re flattering me.” Lord Tao cupped his hands, neither humble nor proud.

”You’ve stayed in our Seven Sects for four years; the matter of entering the Inner Sect mustn’t be delayed further,” the Seven Sects’ Sect Leader, his face flushed with excitement over such a genius emerging from the Seven Sects.

”Hmm, I’ll pack up these days and enter the Inner Sect. But I still want to bid farewell to my friends,” Lord Tao said lightly.

”Alright.” The Seven Sects’ Sect Leader nodded and led a group of Hall Masters back towards the main mountain peak.

At this moment, the fact that Lord Tao broke through the nineteenth layer and was hailed as a hundred-thousand-year genius of the Seven Sects spread like a hurricane. Meanwhile, at a place on the Illusion Realm Mountain, a fairly handsome young man gripped his hand tightly, fiery light flickering in his eyes.

”Why, with one Lin Mo pressing on me is not enough, now another Lord Tao emerges. Damn it, wasn’t Yu Lan Star an End of Dharma Planet? How could two super geniuses appear simultaneously?”

This young man was none other than Duanmu Jinglin, once the top genius of the Seven Sects. At this moment, he clenched his fists tightly, pounding the stone wall beside him, instantly creating a spider-like cracked pit.

Lord Tao flew to a flat area on the mountain peak where the cultivators from Yu Lan Star were.

”Lord Tao, congratulations, congratulations!”

”Lord Tao, you managed to break through the nineteenth layer of the Illusion Realm; even the Sect Leader said you’re a genius unseen in a hundred thousand years...”

”If you can enter the Inner Sect and are taken as a disciple by the Sect Master, you would surely soar to great heights in the future.”

For a moment, all kinds of fawning and flattery filled the air, to which Lord Tao only responded with a slight smile before stepping towards Lin Mo. His black eyes, as deep as the ocean, gazed at Lin Mo.

Suddenly, Lord Tao furrowed his brow slightly upon realizing that the Lin Mo before him gave him an impression of being unfathomable. With his soul strength, he still couldn’t see through Lin Mo for the moment.

”Lord Tao, congratulations.” Lin Mo cupped his hands, smiling at this person, who he always viewed as a competitor.

”Hmm, Mr. Lin, you just returned from the Great Ruins and went into seclusion. Would you like to try the Illusion Realm?” Lord Tao suddenly asked.

”I’m here to challenge the Illusion Realm. Just not sure how many layers I can break through.” Lin Mo smiled, then flew directly toward the giant egg-shaped place suspended on the Illusion Realm Mountain. The expressions of everyone slightly changed, their eyes focused on him.

Liu Qingyang, Wu Mi, the Rain King, and others were slightly startled, not expecting Lin Mo to challenge the Illusion Realm right after Lord Tao’s successful attempt. This challenge seemed to carry a hint of competition.

”Isn’t that Lin Mo?”

”Could it be that he’s also going to challenge the Illusion Realm...”

”Hehe, there’s a good show to watch now. Lord Tao just finished challenging the nineteenth layer of the Illusion Realm. Could Lin Mo also finish the Illusion Tower?”

”Tsk tsk, I wonder how many years Lin Mo will take to challenge?”

Lin Mo and Lord Tao both originated from Yu Lan Star, and they are both among the top geniuses in the Seven Sects, receiving much attention from many disciples. Although they haven’t directly competed, Lin Mo’s challenge to the Illusion Realm this time undoubtedly equates to a special kind of contest.

”That guy really knows how to pick his timing.” The Rain King shook his head, a faint smile playing on his lips, having ample confidence in the former.

As for the numerous disciples yet to leave the Illusion Realm Mountain, they were ready to watch and see if Lin Mo could surpass Lord Tao, becoming another legend of the Seven Sects!

”Lin Mo, I indeed want to see your performance.” Lord Tao looked up to the sky with deep eyes, muttering to himself. Back on Yu Lan Star, he never regarded Lin Mo as his rival, but in the years spent in the Mystic Realm Sect, Lin Mo’s monstrous growth speed has led him to seriously consider him a competitor.
