Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Hmph, the inheritance of this Ancient Divine Tree will be mine.” The Netherworld Sect Great Elder snorted coldly, then stepped forward and headed towards the third bridge.

Guo Lu looked up, glanced at Lin Mo, cupped his hands, and then took a step forward.

Though he had witnessed the scene of Lin Mo killing the Ming King, Guo Lu knew that Lin Mo had not yet broken through to the Star System Level. There was no way his Power of Soul could surpass theirs. Attempting now was undoubtedly somewhat self-deceptive.

”Lin Tanyu, once I obtain the inheritance of the Ancient Divine Tree and leave this place, it will be your death day.” Li Ling’s gaze was venomous, revealing a sinister smile.

Lin Mo seemed oblivious to Li Ling’s mockery, his gaze fixed on the Lotus Stone Platform, and then he took a step forward.

Rumble!

A powerful and overwhelming pressure fell upon him. The feeling was like an ordinary person carrying hundreds of kilograms of rock, climbing the steep and perilous Huashan, making each step extremely difficult.

Ten meters!

Twenty meters!

Thirty meters!

The four of them remained silent, fueled by determination to cross the third bridge. At fifty meters, Guo Lu’s figure started to tremble, clearly unable to withstand the pressure here. He glanced at Lin Mo out of the corner of his eye and saw that although Lin Mo also found it difficult to walk, he stepped forward with solid firmness.

Each step seemed deliberate, showing no sign of stopping.

”This guy is really a freak,” Guo Lu thought in amazement.

It was only now that he realized Lin Mo possessed not only terrifying combat power but also formidable Power of Soul and willpower, enabling him to reach fifty meters.

”Given the current state of my Power of Soul, even advancing another ten meters would be extremely difficult,” Guo Lu grit his teeth, reluctant yet accepting reality.

”Brother Lin Tanyu, I hope you obtain the inheritance. I’ll take my leave ahead of you,” Guo Lu said, then hurriedly left, his figure finally unable to withstand the pressure and dissipated, vanishing from the bridge.

The Netherworld Sect and Hexagram Sect were two of the Four Great Forces in the Anlin Star System, with various grudges between them. If the Netherworld Sect obtained the inheritance, it might give rise to a super expert, which wouldn’t be good for the Hexagram Sect.

As for Lin Mo obtaining the inheritance, at least the Hexagram Sect had some grace with him, which would be advantageous for them.

”Just stepped into the Intermediate Star System Level and dares to compete for the Ancient Divine Tree inheritance, hmph,” Li Ling snorted with disdain as he saw Guo Lu ’disappear’.

Simultaneously, Li Ling also felt the pressure on the bridge growing stronger, making each step unusually challenging.

Sixty meters!

Seventy meters!

Seventy-five meters...

”Damn, how can this guy’s Power of Soul compare to a Star System Level intermediate expert’s soul?” Li Ling’s figure began to shake violently, seeing out of the corner of his eye that Lin Mo was still moving slowly, step by step, his figure as steady as a rock.

Both exasperated and secretly amazed.

”Great Elder, the inheritance is yours!” After reaching eighty meters, Li Ling’s figure ultimately dissipated and vanished from the original location.

At this time, only Lin Mo and the Netherworld Sect Great Elder continued to tread slowly on the bridge.

Now, only the Netherworld Sect Great Elder and Lin Mo remained.

The Netherworld Sect Great Elder had already walked ninety meters when he suddenly stopped, furrowing his thick eyebrows. He was well aware that if he took another step, his figure would be directly crushed by the pressure and expelled from the Ancient Divine Tree.

The Netherworld Sect Great Elder gritted his teeth, glancing at Lin Mo, seeing him still stepping forward, reaching ninety meters, and then taking another step.

”Damn, what kind of treasure does this guy have to make his Power of Soul this strong?” Li Ling thought in shock, clenching his teeth, as flames suddenly ignited on his body, starting to move his feet.

”Burning Power of Soul? This old man is going all out too.”

Lin Mo was momentarily surprised to see this, realizing that at this point, the pressure had become extremely intense, and a slight negligence could result in losing all progress.

Burning Power of Soul is about consuming the body’s source; unlike True Yuan consumption that can be replenished, once the Power of Soul is burned, it’s irreversible.

It seemed this Netherworld Sect Great Elder was also going all out.

Seven meters left!

Six meters!

Five meters!

Three meters! With the Lotus Stone Platform within reach, the Netherworld Sect Great Elder’s face turned serious. Just a few meters away, he had consumed nearly one-tenth of his Power of Soul. If the consumption exceeded three-tenths, he might fall into eternal sleep.

If it exceeded five-tenths, he might be completely pulverized, perishing with his dao.

Tap!

A faint sound reached the ears of the Netherworld Sect Great Elder, his eyes reddening, filled with bloodshot lines, witnessing Lin Mo continue to step forward, walking towards the Lotus Stone Platform.

While he, if he attempted the last three meters, might even risk his soul falling asleep.

”Lin Tanyu, if you dare take the inheritance and treasure here, I will flay you alive and refine your soul, letting you suffer eternal torment,” the Netherworld Sect Great Elder cursed venomously, nearly spitting fiery rage from his eyes.

”I advise you to back off, consuming Power of Soul like this can easily lead to death.” Lin Mo chuckled.

Just three more meters, and with each step Lin Mo took, it felt as if his soul was about to collapse, the pain as if being ground into a mass of flesh and blood by a grinding plate.

Yet even so, the determined look in Lin Mo’s eyes did not waver in the slightest.

A strong person must endure innumerable hardships for tempering!

”Lin Tanyu, I must kill you.” At last, the Netherworld Sect Great Elder no longer dared to continue burning Soul Fire, leaving a venomous curse before his figure disappeared inside the Divine Tree.

Lin Mo’s lips curled into a faint arc, eyes resolutely fixed on the Lotus Stone Platform, taking step after step forward.

His figure, under the tide-like pressure, almost collapsed, continuously trembling.

Finally, taking the last step, he crossed onto the Lotus Stone Platform, and then the surrounding pressure receded like a tide. ”Finally there.” Lin Mo sighed silently. A mere hundred meters had been more challenging than battling a Star Domain Level expert. Though he persisted, his spirit had nearly depleted to the extreme, with no energy left in his body, he sat heavily on the ground.

”Who would have thought, who would have thought, that the one to finally receive my inheritance is a mere Star Sea Level Peak state kid,” an old, familiar voice emerged. On the stone platform, green light gathered to form the ethereal figure of a White-haired Elder, whom Lin Mo had just seen in the Stone Chamber.

Lin Mo stood up, cupped his hands slightly, and respectfully said, ”Junior Lin Mo, greets the senior.”

”Alright, spare me the formalities. I am merely a lingering thought left behind. Now that you’ve passed my test, you can receive my inheritance,” the White-haired Elder laughed.

”Senior, I only wish to ask one thing, did you obtain the inheritance of the Wood Principle, similar to Senior Mao with the Gold Principle?” Lin Mo asked.”Oh, you’ve met that old cat?” The White-haired Elder stared at Lin Mo, seemingly to see through all his secrets, and laughed, ”Indeed, he is a Divine Beast born at the beginning of the universe, innately close to the Gold Principle, whereas I comprehended the Wood Principle through cultivation, representing boundless vitality. It’s just a pity, a pity that I could not reach the pinnacle level of the Wood Principle.”

The wonderful things will continue tomorrow.
