Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Naturally, Lin Mo understood that Mu Lihong was reminding him that offending Young Master Ye might bring trouble upon himself.

”Ye Hui’s father is a key minister in the Demon Emperor Clan. Ye Hui himself has average talent, but his father forcibly pushed him into the Innate Realm with treasures. Even his bodyguards are in the Innate Realm. Being wealthy and influential is really advantageous,” Guo Da lamented.

Whether in the Cultivation World or the mundane world, there’s never a shortage of such privileged second-generation individuals with extraordinary backgrounds.

With the resurgence of Spiritual Energy and the emergence of various secret realms, treasures are continuously contested by the Heavenly Sect, Demon Sect, and Human Clan, making the speed of cultivation naturally faster. Thus... so many in the Innate Realm appear now.

This put a bit of pressure on Lin Mo. In the past, Earth’s Spiritual Energy was depleted, and resources were scarce. Now, with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy and increased secret realm resources, naturally, a large number of geniuses with Lin Yue’s talent are coming to the forefront.

After chatting for a while, everyone agreed to meet at Xiazhou Harbor tomorrow night and then went their separate ways.

...

Whoosh!

Lin Mo did not choose to return to Jinling immediately but transformed into a streak of flowing light, heading toward an isolated, unfinished building in Kun City, landing on the rooftop of a building approximately fifteen meters high.

This area of unfinished buildings was overgrown with weeds, the shadows of trees swayed, faintly accompanied by the sound of wind and rustling.

”Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, twenty-five top-grade spiritual stones, don’t let me down.”

Lin Mo stood on the rooftop, holding a red sphere resembling a Physalis in his hand, elastic and emitting a bloodthirsty scent.

Lin Mo also knew the method of using essence blood: just apply this essence blood to his body, run the spell to absorb it, and it was quite simple to use.

Taking off his jacket, Lin Mo stood naked on the rooftop, his streamlined muscles, nearly perfect physique, feeling a slight chill as the wind blew towards him.

”Let’s try it first.”

Lin Mo used Spiritual Energy to suspend the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood in mid-air, then with a thought, the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood unfurled, strands of blood-red threads dispersed, resembling strands of hair floating in water.

”Come on.” Lin Mo looked resolute as those hundreds of blood-red threads immediately danced over, transforming like steel wires tightly wrapping around his upper body, a surge of heat coursing through him.

The blood threads clung to his skin, slowly permeating into the inner layers, a strange sensation, making every inch of his skin extremely hot.

”So...hot!”

Lin Mo furrowed his brows, feeling as if he were in boiling hot water, every inch of skin, cell, and bone becoming extremely hot, but this extent was still within what his soul could withstand.

He knew that if the pain exceeded the soul’s maximum capacity, not only would the body be unable to bear it, but the soul would also suffer damage.

After about half an hour, the heat completely dissipated, even leaving a hint of coolness in the body.

”Is it done?” Lin Mo looked suspicious, clenched his fists, feeling full of strength, and his skin as hard as wood or stone.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, internally gazing at his Dantian.

In the endless darkness of the Dantian, four rice grain-sized crystals floated in the central area, slowly rotating in a special trajectory.

Surrounding these four formed rice grain crystals was a faint silver light, which was extremely inconspicuous, hardly noted if not for the overwhelming darkness around.

”These silver lights are from when I absorbed 5,000 Starlight at the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall last time. Although I didn’t form the fifth Star Power, they transformed into a peculiar energy existing within my Dantian. Now I feel my body has been strengthened a bit, able to bear another 5,000 Starlight.”

Silently calculating, Lin Mo could compute with the powerful Power of Soul of a cultivator, matching the speed of top-notch computers.

”I can now absorb 5,000 Starlight, but forming the fifth Star Power might need absorbing 100,000 Starlight if luck is less favorable, making this Heavenly Toad Essence Blood insufficient.”

Lin Mo opened his eyes again, slightly furrowing his brows, a bit helpless.

Absorbing the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood could allow carrying an additional 5,000 Starlight.

If luck isn’t great, forming the fifth Star Power requires 100,000 Starlight, needing eighteen more portions of the same Heavenly Toad Essence Blood. With one portion costing twenty-five top-grade spiritual stones, it totals 450 top-grade spiritual stones.

Currently, all of Lin Mo’s possessions amount to less than two hundred top-grade spiritual stones.

”Tomorrow, I will go with Mu Lihong and the others to Han Country to see if I can get another portion of essence blood and fifty top-grade spiritual stones, which would be good too.”

Lin Mo pondered to himself.

At this moment, a dozen powerful auras suddenly approached quickly from directly ahead.

Lin Mo’s sword-like eyebrows raised, a faint chill in his gaze.

Indeed, those people were still tailing him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Tens of figures appeared in front of Lin Mo like afterimages, gradually solidifying. They were the ones, including Ye Hui and Crow, he had seen at the auction entrance earlier, along with twelve Innate Realm followers. ”So you’re here, where’s the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood?” Crow’s gaze was like a poisonous snake, exuding malice, directly asking.

The night wind was cold, and the starry sky was vast.

”The Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, I just used it.”

Lin Mo looked at the two in front of him and said calmly.

”You... you actually used the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood?” Crow’s fists clenched, his face, as if covered in white powder, slightly twitching, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp.

Crow, within the Four Symbols sub-realm of the Innate Realm, had three Star Powers faintly rotating within him. Since Lin Mo was a Martial Cultivator too, he naturally sensed the Star Power unintentionally emanating from within Crow.

Crow’s strength was somewhat stronger than Fang Tangjing’s, which wasn’t surprising, given that Fang Tangjing had only cultivated for a few years, while Crow evidently had two to three hundred years of cultivation experience.

”Already used. Coming to find me now serves no purpose.” Lin Mo remained neither humble nor arrogant, not taking Crow seriously.

However, Ye Hui was from the Demon Gate Royal Family, and his father was a key minister in the Demon Gate Royal Family, with a genius older brother. Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Mo didn’t want to offend him.

However, if the other party pressed too hard, Lin Mo would have no choice but to deal harshly with them.

Being able to yield and stretch meant yielding only when necessary, not surrendering at first sight.

”Kid, you stole my Heavenly Toad Essence Blood and used it without regard for me, Crow.” Crow gritted his teeth, clearly placing great importance on that Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, as he desired to condense the fourth Star Power and urgently needed the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood to strengthen his body.

Lin Mo said indifferently, ”The auction rules are that the highest bidder wins. If your bid were higher than mine, the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood would naturally be yours.”

”Such sharp-tongued.” Crow snorted coldly. He also knew Lin Mo was not easy to deal with, but now with Young Master Ye backing him and numerous Innate Realm bodyguards and guards, he was emboldened, feeling no fear of Lin Mo.
