Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Upon entering the ’Great Ruins’, a unique ripple belonging to this area appeared in the surrounding space, completely severing the connection with the outside universe. To leave this place, one must break through the barrier to create an exit. However, due to the strength of this barrier, unless one possesses a high-level spaceship, it is impossible for cultivators alone to shatter it.

In the vast starry sky, glimmers akin to starlight flickered everywhere. Some of these lights were far away, some nearby, suspended independently in the starry sky. If one looked closely, they would discover that these entities, resembling starlight, were enormous star meteors of various shapes.

Among them, the nearest star domain was even larger than Yu Lan Star, with an irregular shape and a diameter of millions of square kilometers.

”Now you can leave to search for treasures or cultivate in seclusion. Three years later, we will gather here to leave the ’Great Ruins’.” As the leader of this expedition, Duanmu Yin turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the talented disciples of the Mystic Realm Sect, his voice transmitting through True Yuan to each person’s ears.

”Also, you three, among the Seven Sects, you are considered geniuses, but the beasts in the ’Great Ruins’ won’t care about your identities. If you provoke powerful beasts, they will still tear you apart and make you their meal,” Duanmu Yin said, his dark eyes under his sword-like eyebrows glinting with a sharp light. He then focused his gaze on Lin Mo. ”Mr. Lin, you must be careful in the Great Ruins. Don’t fall; being a genius means nothing, as many prodigies have perished midway in the Mystic Realm Sect.”

Lin Mo glanced at the former, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth. ”Thank you, Duanmu Shi-xiong, for your concern.”

”Even for disciples who have entered the Inner Sect of the Mystic Realm Sect, obtaining the qualification to enter the ’Great Ruins’ is extremely difficult. The three of you are fortunate to have entered the Great Ruins. Make sure to seize the time to cultivate well. However, the deeper you go into the Great Ruins’ core, the more formidable the dangers and beasts you will encounter. Do not lose your life out of curiosity,” Duanmu Yin concluded, then led the Inner Sect disciples, transforming into streaks of light, swiftly slicing through the air as they raced forward.

Rong Xiaofeng from the Dayan Dynasty Academy also gave some instructions, then led most of the academy’s disciples toward the core of the ’Great Ruins’, leaving behind a few Dynasty College disciples, who were evidently similar to Lin Mo and others, all being ’newcomers’ granted access to the Great Ruins.

Liu Qing was among those new disciples from the Dynasty College, his gaze carrying a bit of chilling aura as he looked across at Lin Mo.

”The interior of the Great Ruins is extremely dangerous. This time, the Sect Leader has tasked me with leading you to cultivate in the Great Ruins. I don’t want to be punished by the Sect Leader because you encounter danger, so... unless you are absolutely certain, do not enter the core area of the Great Ruins. The beasts on the border have a cultivation level reaching the Star Sea Level,” Ge Chuan stated expressionlessly as he looked at Qian Zhimo, Duanmu Jinglin, and Lin Mo.

Regarding the Great Ruins, Lin Mo had information from Meng Qingge, and naturally understood the dangers of the core area, while Duanmu Jinglin had apparently also received information from Duanmu Yin.

Only Qian Zhimo, upon hearing Ge Chuan’s words, revealed a slightly surprised expression on his originally cold face.

”Alright, find your own place to start cultivating!” Ge Chuan finished, immediately flying towards a meteorite emanating a faint cyan glow.

Lin Mo didn’t hesitate either, transforming into a streak of flowing light, choosing a black meteorite and flying towards it.

Though referred to as a meteorite, it was actually some sort of illusion created by the distance. The black meteorite was oval-shaped like an egg, appearing small from afar, but was in fact the size of two Yu Lan Stars, with Lin Mo taking a whole day to reach it at full flying speed.

Whoosh!

A stream of light cut through the air, descending upon the elliptical black star. This star had no sign of life, mostly comprised of rocks, mountains, and barren land, with rare sightings of plants and rivers, exuding a dead stillness.

Of course, the only reason he chose this star was a gut feeling that there might be some treasures here.

Flying at maximum speed above the land of the star, after three hours, he had traversed most of the star’s area, finding nothing but mountains, rocks, mineral veins, and deserts, with almost no signs of ’living beings.’

”Is this a dead planet?”

Hovering high in the sky, Lin Mo knitted his sword-like eyebrows tightly together, muttering to himself.

It’s said that treasures abound in the ’Great Ruins’, so much so that you might stumble upon a Supreme Treasure while walking. But that’s merely a rumor; acquiring treasures requires luck and opportunities, as well as courage and wisdom. Some supreme strongmen who once cultivated in the ’Great Ruins’ might have left every cultivation technique hidden on a leaf or buried in a grain of dust. To find such treasures requires immense luck.

There is, of course, another way to find treasures, which is to hunt the beasts on these raw stone star meteors. These beasts, having lived tens of thousands of years on these star meteors, always have a treasure or two, no matter how poor their luck is. Just slay these beasts, and you can take their treasures.

”Huh!”

Suddenly, as Lin Mo dashed through the air, he abruptly stopped. Lin Li stood in mid-air, eyes wide open and bright, staring below, his somewhat handsome face showing astonishment.

Below lay an endless ocean, its slightly dark water stretching out endlessly, occupying almost half of the star meteor’s surface.

This situation was entirely beyond his expectations. Who would have thought that behind the black star meteor was a vast ocean?

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a ten-meter wide water column shot up from beneath his feet. Within the water column, a beast with a head covered in sharp spikes and a bloodthirsty maw lunged directly at Lin Mo. This was a beast of intermediate Galaxy Level strength, about the size of a buffalo, its body covered in dark green scales, eyeless, with only a long, narrow mouth on its head.

Boom!

Lin Mo was momentarily startled, then punch downwards at the beast. The freezing Cold Qi True Essence instantly froze the creature into ice crystals, forming a magnificent ice pillar. Then, a thin crack spread across the ice pillar, making a cracking sound, before it shattered into pieces, each piece plopping into the ocean below.

”There’s life in the ocean; could there be treasures in the ocean?”

After pondering for a moment, having already reached the ’Great Ruins’, he figured that if he wanted benefits without taking risks, such a thing didn’t exist in this world.

With this in mind, he enveloped his body with True Essence, forming a curved shield on its surface, then dived into the ocean like a nimble fish.

Stay tuned for more wonderful adventures tomorrow.
