Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up as he stared hard at the eighteen green bamboo swords floating in the air.

”Thank you for your gift, senior.” Lin Mo gave a deep bow; toward this old man, his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.

”Alright, this old man hates this kind of nonsense the most. You can go. Next time we meet, don’t be as weak as you are now.” The old man waved his sleeve, and then both the bamboo swords and Lin Mo were wrapped in gentle Primordial Power and directly sent out.

Lin Mo only felt the Space before his eyes collapse and fade; he didn’t know whether a year had passed or just a second. When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing on a vast stone square.

In front of the square, a Sky-reaching Stone Sword Stele stood upright.

”I’m out?”

Lin Mo was dazed for several seconds before finally reacting—he had already come out from the Nether Space.

”I just don’t know how long I stayed in that Space?” Lin Mo frowned with his sword eyebrow. On this Ruins Continent, his spiritual power spread out like a formless tide, yet he couldn’t sense even a wisp of aura. It seemed all those who fought over Treasures had already left.

”Did Meng Die leave too?” Lin Mo clenched his fists, suddenly thinking that if Xia Mengdie believed he had died, would she also have entered the Space Rift.

After that, Lin Mo shook his head again. ”No, Xia Mengdie has the Ice Emperor’s guidance; she should know I wouldn’t die. Meng Die definitely wouldn’t enter the Space Rift.”

With that thought, Lin Mo let out a breath of relief. He had no idea what kind of agreement that Ice Emperor had made with Xia Mengdie; the fact that Xia Mengdie refused to meet him must be that Ice Emperor woman stirring trouble behind the scenes.

”Anyway, I finally saw Xia Mengdie again. Next time we meet, I’ll definitely have the strength to protect her and not let anyone hurt her.” Lin Mo clenched his fists hard, his knuckles cracking. ”No matter what agreement you made with the Ice Emperor, as long as I become strong enough, what the hell does that perverted old hag Ice Emperor count for?”

After thinking it through, only then did Lin Mo calm his Heart Realm. Right now, the most important thing was to leave this place. Up to now he didn’t even know how long he had been gone, and besides, matters with the Five Primus Sect and the Netherworld Sect weren’t settled yet.

”Before I go, I’d better do a bit of looting.” The corner of Lin Mo’s mouth curled into a strange smile. Although the people of the Four Great Forces and the Independent Cultivator Alliance had swept through the Sects on this Ruins Continent like a plague of locusts, back then they’d triggered a Beast Tide to open the Ice Emperor Relics; those people had probably been scared out of their wits and fled long ago, so quite a lot of Treasures here should still be left behind.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo formed a Dharma Seal with his hands, and one Star Feather Insect after another, their whole bodies like ice crystals, surged out of the Space Ring and shot into the air. There were a total of twenty. The original Star Feather Insects had all died protecting Zhou Xinyue; these Star Feather Insects were newly hatched by the Devouring Spirit Worm.

”Search for Treasures here. Devour everything you can devour; if you can’t devour it, collect it.” Lin Mo issued the order with his Divine Thought, while he himself also shot out like a Meteor.

...

”Looks like I really guessed right! When they encountered the Beast Tide, those people only cared about running for their lives, and left behind so many Treasures!”

In high spirits, Lin Mo spent seven days. He and the Soul-devouring Worm had almost combed through the entire Ruins Continent. Aside from the Treasures that hadn’t been taken away, there were also some Cultivators who’d died tragically under Beast claws, and the Space Rings they left behind also contained many Treasures.

This time, Lin Mo had really made a killing. No one would have thought that after the Beast Tide broke out, someone would still appear on this Ruins Continent and scoop up Treasures.

What excited Lin Mo the most was the Netherworld Stone. After sweeping the entire ruins clean, he had actually obtained thirty million Pure Nether Stones. Such an enormous quantity of Netherworld Stone was something even the whole Netherworld Sect could only look up to.

As for Elixirs and some Treasures, if converted into soul coins, they would probably exceed one hundred million soul coins.

This feeling was like an ordinary person suddenly winning a hundred-million lottery, instantly going from pauper to tycoon.

”With these soul coins, the consumption of the Blood Python is also enough to sustain it.” Lin Mo was overjoyed in his heart.

The main thing was still the Pure Nether Stone. The previously cultivated Star Feather Insects were all dead, but with this batch of Netherworld Stone, he could cultivate a batch of Star Feather Insects with decent Combat Power. After all, the previous Star Feather Insects, because the Devouring Spirit Worm’s level was too low, didn’t have very high strength.

They still couldn’t help Lin Mo fight!

Lin Mo’s spiritual power entered the Space Ring, looking at the Devouring Spirit Worm that was already several tens of zhang in size.

”Master.”

”Mm, you’re at Star Lake Level now. How long will it take to evolve to Star System Level?” Lin Mo asked.

”Master, as long as you give me enough Netherworld Stone, I should be able to evolve within ten days.” The Devouring Spirit Worm replied respectfully.

”Good. I’ll give you ten million Netherworld Stones. Ten days from now, I want you at Star System Level.” Lin Mo was full of boldness.

Right now he had thirty million Pure Nether Stones in hand, so he naturally spoke with confidence.

Ten million Pure Nether Stones were enough to evolve the Devouring Spirit Worm into the Star System Level ranks. As for the remaining twenty million Pure Nether Stones, Lin Mo planned to use them to cultivate Star System Level Star Feather Insects. If they were only Star Sea Level Star Feather Insects, they still wouldn’t be able to help him in battle for the time being.

To cultivate a single Star System Level Star Feather Insect required the consumption of one million Netherworld Stones.

The remaining twenty million Pure Nether Stones could cultivate two hundred Star System Level Star Feather Insects. Heh heh… even the Netherworld Sect would have to change color if they ran into two hundred Star Feather Insects.

After arranging everything, Lin Mo once again came to stand before the huge Stone Sword Stele of the Sect on the Ruins Continent.

On the Sword Stele, in bold, iron-hook strokes, four large characters were carved: ”Nine Thunders Divine Palace”.

”Such a good Treasure, and no one thought to take it away!” Lin Mo stared at the Sword Stele in front of him and said slowly.

The four characters carved on the Sword Stele faintly emitted a sharp aura. At first glance, Lin Mo could tell this Stele was not simple, but at that time he’d been anxious to look for Xia Mengdie, so he hadn’t made a move. He hadn’t expected that no one discovered the special nature of this Sword Stele.

”Chaotic Demon Extinguishing Palm!”

Lin Mo stretched out his hand, purple light flashing in his palm. Then he traced out a complex, Mysterious Array between heaven and earth. A gigantic Handprint formed from condensed Netherworld Power, and then, in an overwhelming manner, slammed fiercely toward the Sword Stele.

Right at that moment, the four characters ”Nine Thunders Divine Palace” emitted streams of razor-sharp sword light. Every stroke—horizontal, vertical, slant, or hook—was a kind of Sword Intent. That fierce Sword Intent burst out and actually shattered the ”Chaotic Demon Extinguishing Palm” head-on.

”Huh?”

Lin Mo was secretly astonished. Although he had only mastered the First Level of the Chaotic Demon Extinguishing Palm, its power was already extremely terrifying.

Yet it had been smashed by the residual Sword Intent on the Sword Stele. It seemed that whoever had carved these words back then was likely the Sect Master or elder-class super expert of the great Sect that once ruled this ruins.

So it wasn’t that no one discovered the special nature of this Sword Stele, but that they couldn’t forcibly destroy it!

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, the corner of his mouth lifted. ”Looks like I’ve got to test the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword’s power!”

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Five light green bamboo swords shot out. Each Green Bamboo Sword looked ordinary, slightly smaller than a normal Flying Sword, but each one contained a destructive power within. Golden Thunder coiled around the blades like writhing spirit snakes.

”It’s actually this exhausting to barely control five Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Swords.” In an instant, Lin Mo felt nearly one-third of the True Yuan in his body vanish.

The wonderful story will continue tomorrow.
