Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Five Primus Sect Holy Land, a scene of chaos, with cries and screams continuously echoing.

The Hexagram Sect and the Refining God Pavilion have long been at odds with the Netherworld Sect and Five Primus Sect. How could the disciples of these sects pass up an opportunity to beat a dog while it’s down? Furthermore, such a battle allows them to obtain many benefits and treasures, so they all fight desperately.

With Tu Ji fleeing and Mao Yan dead, morale among the Five Primus Sect and Netherworld Sect dissipates, focused only on escape, no longer daring to resist desperately, resulting in a one-sided situation.

”Haha, I didn’t expect Five Primus Sect to call for an alliance only to meet their end!” Luo Lian exclaimed joyfully. He was ambushed on the Ruins Continent by Tu Ji and Mao Yan; this debt was finally settled.

”Sect Master Luo Lian, any idea what Lord Lin Tanyu thinks?” Ban Jiang flew beside Luo Lian and asked out loud.

Luo Lian glanced at him, knowing his intention, said, ”Given Mr. Lin’s current strength, few in the Anlin Star System can compete with him. Moreover, today Mr. Lin has exhibited authority. If he calls out, many sects will surely respond. Unifying the Anlin Star System poses no difficulty.”

Ban Jiang frowned slightly; Lin Mo’s demonstrated power indeed surprised him. Carrying an Ultimate Weapon, he could likely contend even with Star Domain level experts.

Furthermore, Lin Mo’s close relationship with the Refining God Pavilion suggests that should Lin Mo want to unify the Anlin Star System, no one would dare obstruct him, and the Refining God Pavilion would gain many benefits.

”Sect Master Ban Jiang, I know what you’re thinking, but you’re wrong. Mr. Lin’s ambitions are not confined to the Anlin Star System. I suspect he will soon depart for the Dark Demon Sea,” Luo Lian said slowly.

Ban Jiang was startled, his eyes widened, ”Mr. Lin wants to go to the Dark Demon Sea? That makes sense; such a place is where true powerhouses and geniuses compete. If he stands out and joins the Star Sky Alliance, his future is limitless. Why would he covet the small gains of Anlin Star System?”

Luo Lian gently nodded.

...

At this moment, Lin Mo stood by the Sword Array, watching the ’Golden Corpse’ suppressed by the array.

The Golden Corpse opened its mouth, emitting low growls, pounding the green barrier with fists like hammers, creating layers of green ripples. Yet, no matter how it attacked, the green barrier remained ’unbroken,’ showing no signs of collapsing.

”Maintaining the Sword Array consumes significant True Yuan; I must find a way to deal with this Golden Corpse!” Lin Mo frowned.

Roar!

The Golden Corpse continued roaring fiercely, with eyes that glowed red, exuding intense hostility.

Using the Sword Array could temporarily suppress the ’Golden Corpse’; still, one must find a way to deal with it. Although Mao Yan died, the Golden Corpse became even more frantic; if not properly controlled, once freed from the Sword Array, it could wreak havoc.

”Using the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword to gradually grind down the Golden Corpse, slowly erasing it?” Lin Mo contemplated.

If everyone combined efforts to suppress the ’Golden Corpse’ or even wipe it out, it wasn’t impossible.

Yet, Lin Mo hesitated. This Golden Corpse was comparable to a Star Domain Level Beginner cultivator; if used wisely, upon entering the Dark Demon Sea, it could serve as a good trump card.

”Alright, for now, I must seal it temporarily, then find a way to subdue it.”

With this thought, Lin Mo continued to infuse True Yuan into the Sword Array; five Heavenly Thunder Swords instantly emitted a clear brilliance, and then bolts of heavenly thunder shot from the sword hilts, continuously striking the ’Golden Corpse.’

Crackling!

Heavenly Thunder naturally restrains violent, sinister energies, plus the Heavenly Thunder Sword is an Ultimate Weapon, with formidable power.

Soon enough, the violent aura from the Golden Corpse significantly weakened, and the corpse became extremely feeble.

”Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire!” Lin Mo extended his finger, igniting a wisp of green fire.

When the Golden Corpse faltered, Lin Mo decisively sent the green fire into the corpse’s brow, using soul control to temporarily tame the corpse.

After some effort, the formerly frenzied Golden Corpse gradually calmed, the crimson glow in its eyes faded.

”Finally succeeded!” Lin Mo withdrew the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword, and then retrieved the now tranquil Golden Corpse into his Space Ring.

”Now it’s only temporarily suppressed; there’s no telling when it might awaken. I must find a way to subdue it quickly,” Lin Mo mused gravely.

Keeping the corpse nearby poses a threat; if handled well, it could be a killing tool. If mishandled, it might attract disaster.

...

Three days later.

Sirius, at a tranquil courtyard at the Refining God Pavilion Headquarters.

Lin Mo sat cross-legged atop a stone platform in the courtyard, with spiritual energy steadily flowing from the skies into his body, visible to the naked eye, being absorbed by the star power within his dantian.

”Whew!” Lin Mo opened his eyes, which seemed to flash with thunder, then calmed and vanished.

”To fully tame the Golden Corpse, I must become a Three Seal Nether Pattern Master.”

Lin Mo took a deep breath and murmured to himself.

These days, he perused many books from the Five Primus Sect’s collection, including methods for crafting and controlling corpse masters. It turns out the Five Primus Sect belongs to the Netherworld Pattern Master lineage.

The Netherworld Pattern Master is a larger profession, subdivided into hundreds of branches, including crafting talismans, alchemy, puppet creation, array laying, magic attack, sealing, etc.

Corpse Master is one of the professions under the Netherworld Pattern Master, specializing in creating and controlling corpse masters.

On the day at Five Primus Sect Holy Land, when the Golden Corpse appeared, it was bound by a Mystic Iron Cold Lock. Evidently, not even Mao Yan could fully control the Golden Corpse, and Mao Yan was only a Second Seal Nether Pattern Master.

To fully control the Golden Corpse requires reaching the realm of a ’Three Seal Nether Pattern Master.’

The Netherworld Pattern Master’s realm involves not just consuming Netherworld Stones. Otherwise, Lin Mo could have easily advanced to the ranks of a Three Seal Nether Pattern Master on the Ruins Continent through Netherworld Stone consumption alone. To advance as a Netherworld Pattern Master, one must uncover a ’ruins’ related to Netherworld Pattern Masters and study the legacy left by senior Netherworld Pattern Masters to comprehend the mysteries contained therein, thus having the chance to break past the realm barrier.

”Breaking through to Three Seal Nether Pattern Master, how difficult it is!” Lin Mo clenched his fist.

Mao Yan and Tu Ji are both Netherworld Pattern Masters, having cultivated for who knows how long, yet neither broke through to a Three Seal Nether Pattern Master!

”Perhaps in the Dark Demon Sea, there’s a chance to receive Netherworld Pattern Master inheritance,” Lin Mo consoled himself inwardly.

During these days, he remained at the Refining God Pavilion Headquarters on Sirius, firstly to wait for the Refining God Pavilion to exchange Mixed Element Fire Essence, and secondly to gather information regarding the Dark Demon Sea, Demon Domain Sky List, and Star Sky Alliance.

”That person, why was he at Five Primus Sect?”

Lin Mo suddenly recalled the familiar face seen at Five Primus Sect. Yet, busy suppressing the corpse master and eradicating Mao Yan, once everything settled, that person had vanished from Five Primus Sect Holy Land.

”It seems there will be more opportunities to meet him in the future,” Lin Mo mused privately.

”Mr. Lin!”

As Lin Mo pondered, a clear voice rang out.

”Miss Luo Yi!” Lin Mo recovered his focus, turned to see Luo Yi gracefully approaching.

”Please sit!”

Lin Mo extended his hand as the two entered the stone pavilion, sitting around the circular stone forest.
