Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Staring at the silhouette standing not far from the mountain hollow, Zhu Bo clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. He knew well the power of the Ink Beetle, and though he could easily slay that Beast, he could not accomplish what Lin Mo did, using his fists to forcibly smash it to death.

He couldn’t achieve it.

Jian Xing and Wei Yuxuan also had extremely vivid expressions on their faces. They had always assumed Lin Mo acquired his spot in the ’Great Ruins’ thanks to a woman, but now it seemed he possessed considerable strength.

”This guy is really a freak.” A gleam of sharp light flickered in Duanmu Jinglin’s eyes as he tightened his fists.

Zhang Jiang was momentarily stunned upon witnessing this, then swiftly flew toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo had long ago noticed the presence of this group, but he had no time to pay attention to them now.

In front of Lin Mo was a mountain cave with a round entrance. Originally, he was cultivating on the flat top when he felt a disturbance, prompting him to check it out. That’s when he discovered this cave, from which the Ink Beetle had flown out.

”There must be some treasure in the cave!”

Lin Mo unleashed the third layer of the Beast Transformation Map, and a beast head brimming with ancient energy appeared on the surface of his chest. His True Yuan once again enveloped his entire body, for this was indeed a perilous area, and if he wasn’t careful, he might suffer a mishap.

Whoosh!

A streak of Flowing Light darted into the cave. The cave wasn’t large, just enough for two people to walk side by side, and it wasn’t deep. Within mere seconds, Lin Mo had reached the cave’s end.

The end opened into a roughly two hundred square meter empty space, with bare stone walls all around and some odd, unpleasant smells in the air. He presumed it was the scent of feces left by the Ink Beetle living here.

Lin Mo’s eyes narrowed abruptly, focusing on a floating piece in the air above this space. About the size of a palm, it gleamed with brilliant and radiant light, exuding a stunningly beautiful and awe-inspiring visual impact.

”What is this thing?” Lin Mo gazed at the piece before him, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating. He could feel a humming sound resonating within his body, as if something was about to awaken, drawn by the light of this fragment.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Then more sounds of rushing air were heard in the cave as Zhang Jiang, Qian Zhimo, Duanmu Jinglin, and Zhu Bo and others also charged into the chamber.

The crowd stood at the end of the cave, their eyes almost simultaneously fixated on the floating light fragment in the air.

”So beautiful... What is this?” Qian Zhimo blinked her lively eyes, a slightly surprised look on her face as she stared at the floating fragment.

The fragment emitted a seven-colored divine light, exuding an intoxicating sheen. At the same time they saw this light fragment, everyone felt as if something within them was about to stir and burst forth.

Zhang Jiang’s eyes widened, ”This, this is an Original Law Fragment...”

”Original Law Fragment?” Qian Zhimo looked puzzled, turning to Zhang Jiang.

”I’ve read some books that describe such Original Law Fragments, but I’ve never actually seen one. According to the descriptions, this light fragment before us should be the legendary Original Law Fragment,” Zhang Jiang nodded, pondering. ”As you should all know, whether we major in Magic or Martial Arts, Law Comprehension is crucial to us. It’s said that consuming an Original Law Fragment can directly increase one’s Power of Laws.”

Zhang Jiang spoke slowly.

His words plunged the cave into silence.

Everyone’s eyes widened to the size of copper bells, faces showing unbelievable shock.

”Directly increase the Power of Laws?”

”This, this is too heaven-defying!”

The comprehension of Laws is achieved through cultivation and some fortuitous opportunities, requiring time, talent, and various indispensable factors to elevate Law Comprehension.

It can be compared to studying: only by reading extensively within a discipline can one accrue the knowledge and reserves necessary for expertise in that field. Naturally, such acquisition and accumulation are extremely time-consuming.

The heaven-defying aspect of the Original Law Fragment lies in modifying one’s data without comprehension, directly enhancing one’s Power of Laws, akin to the ”golden finger” in a game, truly an unbelievable existence.

”Guardian Zhang, I’ve never heard of such a thing, and the auction houses don’t sell them, do they?” Zhu Bo asked, frowning, yet his eyes remained filled with a blazing intensity as they gazed at the floating light fragment.

”Who would sell such a heaven-defying treasure? If not used by oneself, it would certainly be given to juniors within one’s clan or sect, or used to exchange for items of equivalent value,” Zhang Jiang shook his head, speaking slowly.

Lin Mo remained silent and only after listening to Zhang Jiang’s explanation did he realize the value of the light fragment before him. No wonder he felt a stirring of Law Power during his cultivation, undoubtedly drawn by the Original Law.

”Damn, we need to leave this place quickly, the Ink Beetle army is coming!” Suddenly, Zhang Jiang’s face changed drastically, and he shouted.

Lin Mo gathered Spiritual Energy in his palm, enclosing the Law Fragment in it and storing it in his Space Ring.

Immediately, the group sped toward the cave’s entrance at lightning speed. As they rushed out, their scalps prickled.

A dense, countless swarm of Ink Beetles was charging at them with incredible speed, nearly encircling the mountain hollow like a copper wall and iron bastion.

”The Ink Beetle must have alerted the others before it died!” Zhang Jiang said with a grave expression.

Ink Beetles are insect-type Beasts, not as strong individually as Beast-type Beasts, but their advantage lies in their numbers, making them exceedingly troublesome. Even a Star Sea Level expert would be vexed facing thousands of Ink Beetles.

”Don’t fly, flying would attract the attention of surrounding avian Beasts. Follow me, we’ll carve a bloody path.” Zhang Jiang commanded calmly in a low voice.

”Yes.”

Everyone immediately summoned their Magic Treasures, faces solemn, channeling True Yuan and Spiritual Energy within their bodies. Most of these Ink Beetles were Star Lake Level Early Stage, but some larger ones had reached the Intermediate Star Lake Level.

Bang!

Just as Zhang Jiang’s words fell, a blast of wind swept out like rolling thunder.

Zhang Jiang, Zhu Bo, and the others narrowed their eyes. The blast of wind was none other than Lin Mo, heading barehanded toward the Ink Beetle army ahead.

Bang bang bang!

His fists enveloped in chilling True Yuan, the Beast Transformation Map executed to perfection, his body on par with a high-level Star Lake Magic Treasure, essentially making him an exceptional humanoid weapon adept in both attack and defense.

With a punch, an Ink Beetle’s body shattered, its internal organs crushed by violent force, flinging it backward into several other unfortunate Ink Beetles.

Wherever Lin Mo passed, the Ink Beetle army nearly collapsed in a straight line, as he used sheer strength to punch a path through.

”Let’s go!” Zhang Jiang saw this and, ignoring his shock, shouted, immediately leading the group to follow behind Lin Mo, directly charging out.
