Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Then, Guo Lu, Li Ling, and the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect simultaneously opened their eyes, each with a deep look of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

The others had already resigned themselves to the fact that they couldn’t obtain the Ancient Divine Tree’s inheritance. Merely crossing the first or second bridge brought sufficient benefits to satisfy them.

As for Guo Lu, Li Ling, and the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect, they came explicitly for the ’Ancient Divine Tree inheritance’, unable to cross the third bridge means they can’t obtain the inheritance, naturally leaving them somewhat resentful.

”Lin Tanyu, you’re here too?” Xue Chen approached Lin Mo and asked. Lin Mo nodded, showing a hint of helplessness on his face, the pressure of the third bridge was tens of times greater than the previous ones. Even with resolute willpower, the pressure had already surpassed the soul’s endurance limit, naturally causing collapse, and thus he was expelled.

.

”Our highest cultivation here is Intermediate Star System Level, yet even their souls cannot cross the third bridge. It seems we have no hope.” Xue Chen said despondently.

”There must be a way to cross, otherwise, is the inheritance here meant solely for Star Domain Level or even Realm Lord Level experts?” Lin Mo frowned and murmured softly.

At this moment, some cultivators attempting the third bridge closed their eyes to adjust their breathing, planning to tune their souls to the best state before making another attempt.

Lin Mo similarly began to ponder deeply.

Even if tuned to the best state, his Power of Soul and willpower might still be unable to cross the bridge and reach the Lotus Stone Platform.

”What should I do? Should I just watch as the treasure slips away?”

”Moreover, without the inheritance, there’s no way to obtain Heavenly Dao Laws, which means I can’t advance to being among Star System Level experts...”

”If this drags on, should the masters from Netherworld Sect, Hexagram Sect, Five Primus Sect, or the Pavilion Master of Refining God Pavilion arrive, perhaps they’ll find another way to claim the treasure.”

Everyone in the stone chamber remained silent, each racking their brains trying to cross the third bridge.

However, once inside the Divine Tree, only one’s soul is present, unable to deploy any magic or utilize any treasure, hence temporarily increasing Power of Soul is utterly impossible.”Senior Brother Xue, Senior Sister Jing Xiao, I only crossed the first level of the bridge, but I received the Dayan Soul Treasure. After consumption, I feel my Power of Soul has greatly enhanced. If only I could swallow a few more Dayan Soul Treasures!” Le Qian said suddenly, pursing her lips.

”You think Dayan Soul Treasures are that easy to come by, and you talk about swallowing a few more?” Jing Xiao frowned and snorted softly. With Le Qian’s strength, if she persisted, she would reach the second bridge and obtain a second Dayan Soul Treasure. But crossing the bridge requires more than soul strength; it also demands resolute willpower, and evidently, Le Qian’s willpower was weak.

Unable to endure such pain, she chose to give up.

”Ah, Dayan Soul Treasure.”

Lin Mo’s deep eyes reflected a trace of brilliance upon hearing Le Qian’s words.

”If only I could obtain some more Dayan Soul Treasures to augment my Power of Soul, perhaps I’d have a chance at crossing the third bridge.”

Thinking of this, Lin Mo closed his eyes, and once more dispersed a wisp of Power of Soul, silently entering the Divine Tree’s interior.

The bridge’s wide surface, shrouded in hazy green aura identical, yet now, Lin Mo exuded a dark aura, clad in black clothes, black trousers, with shoulder-length black hair flowing in the wind, his eyes radiating an icy intent.

This soul was precisely Lin Mo’s Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire Spirit.

”Haha, just as I thought, looks like this Ancient Divine Tree’s inheritance is mine for sure.” Lin Mo laughed heartily.

At this moment, Lin Mo was standing at the starting point of the first bridge.

”Just as I imagined, each soul entering the Divine Tree has one opportunity to pass the bridge.”

Lin Mo’s lips curled into a soft smile, then he stepped forward directly towards the bridge.

The first high platform yielded a ’Dayan Soul Treasure’, consuming two hours to devour.

The second high platform yielded another ’Dayan Soul Treasure’, consuming another hour and a half to devour.

As for the third bridge, Lin Mo did not attempt, as with Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire’s soul strength, it would collapse at most twenty meters.

”Mere merging of two souls, I wonder if it can conquer the third bridge.” Lin Mo’s eyes gleamed brilliantly, then he automatically exited the Divine Tree’s interior.

Inside the stone chamber, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes, a gleam flashed in the depths of his pupils.

”Now I must attempt the soul fusion, to see if I can acquire the ancient tree’s inheritance!”

Lin Mo took a deep breath, his spirit entered the Divine Sea, where a Nine-Pattern Golden Core floated, surrounded by manifesting worldly signs of various Laws, containing supreme suppression, two Soul Fires circling the core, rotating slowly from left to right.

One flame was a strange azure, the other an abyssal black.

”Merge!”

Under Lin Mo’s mental command, the two Soul Fires approached one another, entwining gradually, transforming into a sinuous purple flame, with a Power of Soul that was several times stronger.

”Now, let’s give it a try.” After a deep breath, Lin Mo once again closed his eyes, his soul entering the ancient tree.

”Huh!”

Lin Mo was momentarily stunned, discovering himself at the beginning of the first bridge.

”How can this be?”

The first time, Demon Cold Flame entered the Ancient Divine Tree and had one opportunity to cross the bridge.

The second time, Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire entered the interior of the Ancient Divine Tree, securing another chance to cross the bridge.

This third time.

His soul was merged with two types, has the Ancient Divine Tree determined it as a new soul, thereby granting another opportunity to cross the bridge?

”It must be like this.” Lin Mo muttered to himself, clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling brilliantly, this way he had more confidence crossing the third bridge. As Lin Mo had imagined, the first bridge’s high platform and the second one both contained ’Dayan Soul Treasures’, Lin Mo spent three hours consuming them all, his Power of Soul grew once more, and the merged soul now rivaled the soul strength of High-level Star System experts.

After Lin Mo had devoured all the Dayan Soul Treasures, a look of anticipation arose in his eyes as he gazed at the end of the third bridge—Lotus Stone Platform.

Simultaneously, three figures appeared again ahead, to the left and right sides, precisely Guo Lu, Li Ling, and the Great Elder of Netherworld Sect. Among those in the stone chamber, only these three still harbored resentment and wanted to contend for the inheritance on the Lotus Stone Platform.

”Hehe, Lin Tanyu, do you think you can cross the third bridge and compete for the inheritance on the Lotus Stone Platform?” Li Ling’s venomous gaze fell upon Lin Mo, and she sneered. ”The inheritance left by this ancient divine tree is not meant for just anyone. Some people simply overestimate themselves.” The Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect said nonchalantly, his tone tinged with contempt, as among the four, he had cultivated the longest, with a soul strength far surpassing the other three.

This remark also included Guo Lu. ”Though I’m not as strong as the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect, the treasure is before us. Abandoning it directly would leave me somewhat unwilling. Even if I overestimate myself, I must try to feel at ease,” Guo Lu said calmly.
