Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lin Mo first put his things away, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. No one knew that in this Thunder Mountain Range, three Star System Level Early Stage strongmen had died at the hands of a Star Sea Level Peak Realm expert.

Returning to the previous place, Lin Mo saw Hu Kuang, Liu Hong, and Wei Dao still bound by Hei Zhu’s chains. The chains had black runes flickering with dark light, clearly these runes restricted the True Yuan within the trio.

Whoosh!

A wisp of True Essence Blade shot out from Lin Mo’s fingertips, slicing through the Black Lock with a crisp ding.

Hu Kuang, Wei Dao, and Liu Hong regained their freedom and immediately mobilized their True Yuan to heal their injuries.

”Brother Lin Tanyu, it’s our fault that we dragged you into this. If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have found you,” Hu Kuang said, blushing and clasping his fists.

”Brother Hu Kuang, what are you saying? Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to enhance my strength this time,” Lin Mo laughed heartily.

”Yes, yes, it’s like they tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice,” Liu Hong laughed.

Lin Mo swept his hand, collecting all the treasures scattered in the air, and said with a smile, ”Brother Hu Kuang, these things are all for you. They can enhance your strength somewhat.”

Lie Huo and Hei Zhu were both Star System Level experts, and the treasures they carried were quite abundant.

”This, how can this be? I, Hu Kuang, have caused you trouble, how can I accept these treasures?” Hu Kuang quickly responded.

”These are not woes, just blessings. You all should take them,” Lin Mo said calmly.

The three saw Lin Mo sincerely wanted to give them the treasures, and given their low strength in this area, if they could enhance their strength, their survival prospects would improve.

”Thank you, Brother Lin Tanyu. This kindness will be remembered by Hu Kuang. In the future, if there’s anything you need, whether it’s crossing knife mountains or going through seas of fire, I, Hu Kuang, will not decline,” Hu Kuang said seriously, clasping his fists.

”Let’s part ways here. I must hurry to the mountain top. If the people from Five Primus Sect and Hexagram Sect get the treasures, my trip will have been in vain,” Lin Mo said, cupping his hands before his figure faded into the void.

”Brother Hu Kuang, until we meet again.”

A voice, deep and distant, sounded after Lin Mo disappeared.

...

The Thunder Mountain Range stretches over millions of miles. With Lin Mo’s current speed, he could reach the mountain top in seven days if he traveled at full speed. However, the closer he got to the peak, the more frequently he encountered the mysterious blue lightning and beasts, which would certainly slow his progress.

As for the manpower from Hexagram Sect and Five Primus Sect, although they are numerous, forcing their way through would lead to beast sieges, which could slow them down even more.

So, along the way, Lin Mo was not in a rush to reach the peak. Instead, he hunted beasts while cautiously advancing.

Five days later, a waterfall cascaded down, forming an icy pool at its base.

Outside the icy pool, the grass was lush and verdant.

A solitary figure sat cross-legged nearby, it was Lin Mo after five days of journeying.

In these five days, Lin Mo had encountered multiple dangers. Once, he was spotted by five Star System Level beasts. It was no easy feat to slay them, and his actions attracted even more beasts, forcing Lin Mo to retreat in disarray.

Even a Star Domain Level expert can find themselves in a perilous situation when besieged by a horde of beasts.

Another time, he encountered mysterious blue lightning, each bolt as thick as a water barrel. Lin Mo dared not use such lightning to temper his body. Being hit by it would reduce him to ashes.

”However, I have collected quite a few Nether Origin Stones.”

”It’s just that I have already reached the rank of a Second Seal Nether Pattern Master. Relying solely on these Nether Origin Stones won’t allow me to advance to a Three Seal Nether Pattern Master.”

Lin Mo had a profound understanding of Netherworld Power. Besides Netherworld Pattern Masters, some treasures, and even raising insects, require Netherworld Stones.

”If I could cultivate the Star Feather Insect, it might become a great asset,” Lin Mo thought silently.

In Lao Du’s Space Ring, Lin Mo found only a dead insect, which was quite a disappointment.

In the Space Ring, there were several books about nurturing, training, and controlling insect treasures in battle, which Lin Mo studied meticulously.

The more Lin Mo delved into the art of Insect Cultivation, the more he understood the rarity and value of the ’Star Feather Insect,’ making his heart itch with desire. If he could nurture this ’Star Feather Insect,’ it would become his trump card in combat.

Unfortunately, the Star Feather Insect was already dead.

His personal strength was formidable, but just like last time when caught in a beast tide, it would be immensely dangerous. Having insect-type treasures, he could hold his own even against beast tides or numerous sect members.

”What a pity... if only the Star Feather Insect were alive... but alas, it is dead,” Lin Mo sighed, then mentally reached into the Space Ring, and suddenly his face froze.

Inside the Space Ring, a crystal-clear, approximately human-sized insect lay in the void. It resembled a beetle with four long, thin ice wings growing from its back, two curved ice horns on its head, emitting a chilling aura from its entire body. Its mouth was square-shaped with two prominent fangs, making its appearance extremely terrifying.

”What... what is this?”

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo was stunned.

After a moment, he came to his senses, recognizing the familiar appearance of the insect before him. Wasn’t it the Soul-devouring Worm he obtained from the Witch Clan?

Since consuming too much Spiritual Energy, the Soul-devouring Worm had fallen into a long slumber. He didn’t expect it to awaken now.

Moreover—he glanced at the now-opened Jade Box next to it, which was completely empty.

Had the Soul-devouring Worm eaten the Star Feather Insect?

”Master.” A slightly childish female voice sounded in Lin Mo’s sea of consciousness.

”Are you the Soul-devouring Worm?” Lin Mo’s spiritual power responded.

”Yes, Master.”

When Lin Mo acquired the Soul-devouring Worm last time, he had already left his imprint in its soul. Now, the Soul-devouring Worm was essentially his servant.

”How did you become like this?” Lin Mo asked.

”After I swallowed a large amount of Spiritual Energy last time, I fell into a long sleep. I’m not sure why I awakened this time, but when I saw what was in the Jade Box, I craved it intensely, and after eating it, I transformed into what I am now. I now possess the Star Feather Insect’s bloodline,” the Soul-devouring Worm replied.

Upon receiving this news, Lin Mo’s pupils gleamed.

If Lao Du were alive to learn of this, his expression would certainly be colorful. In Lao Du’s space, Lin Mo saw many books detailing methods to revive spirit worms.

It seems Lao Du attempted various methods to revive the spirit worm after acquiring the ’Star Feather Insect,’ but to no avail, inadvertently benefiting Lin Mo instead.

”You said you have the ’Star Feather Insect’ bloodline. Can you produce Star Feather Worm Eggs?” Lin Mo asked excitedly.

”In theory, yes, but I’ll need to devour a lot of Spiritual Energy and Spirit Stones,” replied the Soul-devouring Worm.

In light of this, Lin Mo immediately took out all the Netherworld Stones he had collected over the past few days and piled them in front of the Soul-devouring Worm. ”Devour these Netherworld Stones and see if you can produce Star Feather Worms!”

”Yes, Master!”
