Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

”Didn’t expect to run into that guy Lin Tanyu here!”

This young man in white was none other than Young Master Yan Bei, who had suffered humiliation at the hands of Lin Mo. His hatred for Lin Mo was no less than that of Long Xiang and Ji Lie; he wanted nothing more than to tear Lin Mo apart. Young Master Yan Bei gritted his teeth hard, his eyes grim like a fierce ghost. He wished for revenge, but unfortunately, his strength was too weak. In a head-on clash with Lin Mo, he probably wouldn’t even withstand three moves, as he was only a Second Transition Asura. Coming to the 17th Asura Tower wasn’t really for top-tier inheritance, but to obtain some treasures and leave.

”Opportunity, I need to wait for an opportunity, a chance to kill Lin Tanyu.” Young Master Yan Bei took a deep breath, suppressing the wrath in his heart, and flew away from the spot, entering the mountains.

...

Elsewhere, Lin Mo flew into the Lin Sea. The towering trees reached the sky, and various small beasts, sensing the danger on him, scattered in all directions.

In theory, every Secret Realm within the Asura Tower contained treasures and dangers, but Lin Mo wanted to advance quickly to the Fifth Transition Shura Realm, so he wasn’t in a hurry to search for treasures in this Secret Realm.

After flying for about half an incense stick’s worth of time, in reality, if he were to speed up, he could traverse the entire Secret Realm Space within that time frame. But to guard against the dangers that might appear at any moment, he slowed down and proceeded cautiously.

”A volcano?”

In his line of sight appeared a volcano over a thousand feet high, concealed within the Lin Sea.

Lin Mo immediately flew towards the volcano, releasing his spiritual power. Any slight movement or spatial fluctuations around couldn’t escape his Divine Thought.

This volcano was indeed a dead volcano; there were no peculiar areas around it. It seemed even if there were treasures in the Secret Realm, they weren’t nearby.

Lin Mo summoned a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword. With his feet on the Flying Sword, he shot up like a streak of flowing light, flying above the crater, looking down. The crater had a diameter of about a hundred feet. On closer inspection, it was pitch black, like a ghostly domain.

Though it looked frightening, there was no energy fluctuation inside; it was just a normal dead volcano.

Swoosh!

Treading on the Flying Sword, Lin Mo swooped down, conjuring two groups of flames around him to illuminate the interior of the volcano.

Inside, it widened from narrow, with cooled magma rock at the bottom, confirming it was indeed a dead volcano.

”This is it.”

Lin Mo decided to seclude himself here, to break through to the Fifth Transition Shura Realm. He summoned a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword, laid out a Sword Array, and set up an Array outside the volcano. As soon as someone approached, he would sense it immediately.

Once all the Arrays were set, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Sword Formation and the Xuanyuan Sword complemented each other, forming an unparalleled Sword Array. Even a Fifth Transition Shura entering could be held off for a while, giving him enough reaction time.

Having arranged everything, Lin Mo found a flat spot and sat down, taking out Evil Essence, Four Symbols Jade Void Pill, and Dragon Blood, wrapping them in True Yuan, making them appear in front of him one by one.

”Kid, you must first consume the Dragon Blood.”

The Dongling World Lord appeared, leisurely lying on a soft white cloud, supporting his head with one hand, and spoke lightly.

”Just consume it directly?” Lin Mo looked at the Dongling World Lord in surprise.

The Dragon Clan is a rare and powerful race in the universe. Naturally, this Dragon Blood wasn’t ordinary but required the Essence Blood of a dragon to be effective. Otherwise, considering how vast a dragon’s body is, Dragon Blood’s value, the Dragon Clan would have gotten rich long ago.

This Dragon Blood is Essence Blood from a dragon; a mere drop or two of Dragon Blood can be sold at a very high price.

To the Barbaric Demon Clan, consuming Dragon Blood can strengthen their physique. Hence, their craving for Dragon Blood is greater. This is also why the Green Bull Realm General was so excited upon discovering Dragon Blood.

The Dongling World Lord snorted coldly: ”Do you doubt me, the Dongling World Lord? Is your knowledge broader than mine?”

The Dongling World Lord, seemingly unhappy when questioned, Lin Mo awkwardly smiled. Though he truly didn’t know how to use Dragon Blood, the Dongling World Lord probably had no reason to deceive him. Thinking it over, he still controlled his True Yuan to wrap the Dragon Blood. The dark golden Dragon Blood carried the aura of the Dragon Clan and contained powerful energy.

Opening his mouth, Lin Mo swallowed the Dragon Blood wrapped in True Yuan.

As the Dragon Blood entered his body, Lin Mo’s expression turned extremely odd, then flushed with crimson.

”Haha.” The Dongling World Lord slapped his thigh, laughing to the point of tumbling, ”Consuming Dragon Blood raw? Dragon Fire quenching the body? Even some powerful races among the Barbaric Demon Clan wouldn’t dare to consume it straight! Old man was just joking with you; why did you take it seriously?”

The Dongling World Lord laughed until he nearly cried, while Lin Mo didn’t utter a word. At this moment, he was like a statue, and like a burning-red statue at that. He only felt as if his whole body was about to explode. The Dragon Clan is one of the most powerful races in the universe. How precious is Dragon Blood? Its madness is unmatched. Even if other cultivators or Barbaric Demon Clan members obtained Dragon Blood, intending to use it for body refinement, they would prepare numerous herbs beforehand to refine into pills for assistance.

Consuming it raw like Lin Mo, if one’s will couldn’t withstand it, they would faint from the pain, rendering the Dragon Blood ineffective.

Lin Mo felt as if his flesh, five internal organs, all burned unbearably with heat, like flames burning inside him.

At this moment, Lin Mo couldn’t dare to be distracted. The pain was unbearable, and any moment of distraction, he couldn’t handle it. He could only endure it with a steadfast mind.

The Dongling World Lord also knew the joke had gone too far, lying silently on the cloud, quietly watching Lin Mo. Lin Mo’s expression was grave, with his two sword-like eyebrows almost knit together, and even the muscles on his face slightly twitched.

”That resilience on his face, it truly resembles how I looked back in the day!” The Dongling World Lord sighed inwardly.

Dragon Blood is inherently precious; how can a mortal body withstand it? Especially without any medicinal aid, the physical body undergoes an unbearably painful quenching. Only with a will strong enough can one persist until the end.

Although Lin Mo didn’t grimace or raise his fist in pain, the pain he endured was tenfold more intense than merging with the tenth Evil Essence. He gritted his teeth so hard they creaked, and every inch of his muscles bore the ’heavy pressure.’

This situation didn’t ease with time’s passage. Instead, it grew more intense, as the Dragon Blood initially released only a small amount of power. Perceiving Lin Mo’s formidable willpower, it began to unleash all its power.

”Kid, if you can’t hold on, force out the remaining Dragon Blood. Absorbing some already benefits your body.” The Dongling World Lord frowned, reminded him.

”Dragon Blood is so precious; forcing it out would be a waste. I want to absorb it all!”

Lin Mo squeezed out a few words through his teeth, his voice slightly trembling, but he was clearly unwilling to give up the remaining Dragon Blood.

”Heavenly Strength, the gentleman strives unceasingly; Earth’s Position Kun, the gentleman carries virtue.” Lin Mo firmly kept his mind, silently reciting the two classics of Qian Kun from the I Ching.
