Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Lin Mo furrowed his sword eyebrows, looking at the elder shrouded in a hazy green mist before him, and asked suspiciously, ”Why, senior, can’t you achieve the peak of the Wood Principle?” ”You should know that whether it is the Five Elements Law or some special laws, they represent the origins of the derived universe, indispensable. If someone truly achieves the Great Perfection of any law, he is the law, he is the embodiment of the universe, such a person lives eternally.”

The elder said slowly, ”In my understanding of the Wood Principle, I have reached a level where my skills are akin to creation. Others call me the Master of Wood, but only I know that I have not achieved the Great Perfection of the Wood Principle, and I will never reach that perfection.”

Saying this, Lin Mo seemed to hear a faint sigh from the elder.

”Senior, the Wood Principle represents vitality, can you, with your ability, bring the dead back to life?” Lin Mo asked.

The promise to Ye Xuan lingered in Lin Mo’s heart, and if he could truly revive his deceased loved ones, no matter the cost, he would not hesitate. ”To bring the dead back to life?” The elder muttered, then revealed a trace of bitterness, shaking his head, ”Even at my peak, I could not bring the dead back to life, even if a strand of soul remains I can restore it, but reversing time and changing cosmic rules I cannot do.”

”You couldn’t even do it at your peak?” Lin Mo was secretly surprised, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Though unaware of how powerful the elder was at his peak, daring to proclaim himself as the Master of the Wood Principle, his power must be extremely terrifying.

”Life and death are the laws by which the universe operates, without life there is no death, without death there is no life, the cycle of life and death creates the Qian Kun universe.” The elder said slowly, his voice seemingly filled with too much helplessness.

Lin Mo nodded, understanding this in his heart.

The senior before him must have been a peerless, illustrious expert in his prime, yet ultimately could not escape ’death’.

”Alright, since you have passed my test, you will receive my inheritance. I will display the origin of the Wood Principle with my last remaining thoughts. To whatever level you can comprehend, it depends on your understanding and fate.” The elder said indifferently.

Lin Mo said, ”Senior, I have one more thing I’d like to ask. After I reached the Golden Core Stage, I did not obtain the Heavenly Dao Laws. I came to the Dark Demon Domain this time to find the way to obtain the Heavenly Dao Laws.”

Upon hearing Lin Mo’s words, the white-haired elder suddenly looked startled, revealing a trace of shock on his face, staring wide-eyed, ”You, you really haven’t obtained the Heavenly Dao Laws?” ”Yes, why would I deceive the senior about this?” Lin Mo lightly pressed his lips together, looking somewhat puzzled at the elder, who must have been a big shot in his life, with extraordinary aura and demeanor. Why did he show such a strange expression when he heard Lin Mo hadn’t obtained the Heavenly Dao Laws?

”Good, good, good.” The elder said three good words in succession, laughing heartily, ”That guy indeed did not deceive me, he did not deceive me…”

”That guy?” Lin Mo was even more curious, and a name began to emerge in his mind—Emperor Shang.

The only Emperor-level expert of the Holy Era, and the last Emperor-level expert.

Lin Mo seemed to have been entangled with Emperor Shang’s affairs all along, gritting his teeth, lifting his head, his eyes shining, ”Senior, is the person you speak of Emperor Shang?” ”Yes, Emperor Shang, the first person of epoch-making brilliance, the miracle of the Holy Era! His strength even among the geniuses of the Netherworld Era would be a standout, his talent, aptitude, and strength were stunningly extraordinary!” The elder sighed, seemingly reminiscing about events long past.

”Well, now I have only the last remaining thoughts, many things I cannot recall. Since you ask me how to obtain the Heavenly Dao Laws, I can only tell you one thing, you can’t obtain the Heavenly Dao Laws anymore.”

The elder paused for a moment, then placed his gaze back on Lin Mo, speaking slowly.

The elder’s eyes were ethereal, without any emotional fluctuation, restoring his dignity once more.

”Can’t obtain the Heavenly Dao Laws? Doesn’t this mean I will stay at the Star Sea Level for life?” Lin Mo glared, forcibly clenching his fist, unwilling to accept this.

”But you can advance to the Star System Level.” The elder said again.

This time Lin Mo was stunned again, without the Heavenly Dao Laws, he couldn’t mobilize the other laws he comprehended, how could he step into the Star System Level realm?

”Heaven doesn’t give you laws, but you can communicate with the laws you comprehend and use your laws to influence other cosmic laws.” The elder said indifferently, then extended an index finger, the fingertip emitting a dazzling green light.

The green light instantly entered Lin Mo’s forehead and eyebrows, and then the elder’s figure became increasingly faint, finally transforming into a green light absorbed into Lin Mo’s brow.

”Emperor Shang, I will also fulfill my promise to you!” Inside Lin Mo’s Divine Sea, thunder and lightning surged like myriad Long Mang coiling around the skies; the boundless Star Fire burned across ten thousand miles, warping the air; the icy zone, freezing for tens of thousands of miles, eternal and unchanging; the golden ocean, the wind stirring layers of gold waves, one drop weighing billions.

This was the manifestation of Lin Mo’s current comprehension of laws: Thunder Law, Water (due to cultivating Ice Cloud Netherworld Record) Law, Fire Principle, Gold Principle.

And at the center of these laws, a golden Nine-Pattern Golden Core suspended in the void.

If he condensed the Golden Core with Heavenly Dao Laws, he could communicate the laws he comprehended, applying the Power of Laws in every move, making his Magic and Martial Arts more formidable.

At this moment, a green leaf fell in a void place, transforming into a cluster of green energy, then a thriving green seedling was born, growing rapidly with each breath, a thousand meters, ten thousand meters... a Divine Tree towering a hundred thousand meters rooted in the void.

The branches and leaves continuously extended, covering tens of thousands of kilometers, vigorous vitality suddenly blossoming, filling the entire void realm.

A faint green silhouette of the elder slowly emerged from the tree trunk, then gently drifted to the Nine-Pattern Golden Core, hands behind his back. ”You young fellow, you’ve comprehended the Thunder Law, Water Law, Fire Principle, Gold Principle, and now with the Wood Principle I gave you, don’t you know the saying, ’To bite off more than you can chew.’” This elder was the remaining thought of the Ancient Divine Tree, now entering Lin Mo’s Divine Sea.

”Since you have fate to encounter me, I will help you break through to the Star System Level today!”

The elder said slowly, then two brilliant green rays shot from his eyes, his figure transforming into a three-foot green sword, the sword tip sharp, emitting a terrifying aura.

Then, this green small sword slashed directly at the Nine-Pattern Golden Core. Amid the clash, there was no sound, but Lin Mo’s body in the Stone Chamber trembled abruptly, the Nine-Pattern Golden Core was incredibly solid, the green small sword seemed to want to split the Golden Core, amidst such stalemate, the entire Divine Sea space trembled, and various laws revealed terrifying phenomena.
