The Seventh Base

Chapter 1056: Chapter 115: Unwilling to Give In

Gurei Sadar led the Transcendents of the Sadar family to use their lives as a warning to others. They sacrificed themselves, allowing the crowd below to see Xu Mo’s combat power and understand his bottom line.

He wasn’t just making empty threats; whoever dared to snatch would be killed.

Once you decide to make a move, then one side must fall.

It’s either Xu Mo dies, or they die. Anyone who believes they can defeat Xu Mo can try, but the price of failure is death.

Lin Jia frowned deeply; he had not clearly observed the previous battle between Xu Mo and the Kales Empire.

But this battle, he observed very carefully.

The strike Xu Mo used to slay Gurei Sadar was terrifying, seemingly meant to intimidate, exploding with the strongest strike, and with just one strike, he killed Gurei Sadar.

The effect of this strike was immediate; no one dared to act recklessly. He himself refrained from taking risks, planning to observe a bit more. Now, he was even less likely to make a move; the Transcendents of the O’Brian Republic were not to be trifled with.

However, thinking of Xu Mo’s threat to him, Lin Jia was still unhappy. The sound of cracking rang out as he clenched his fist, his eyes cold, but he did not plan to attack Xu Mo. Instead, he shifted his target elsewhere, looking for a better opportunity.

Not only Lin Jia, but others also gradually shifted their targets, no longer focusing on Xu Mo. That guy, single-handedly slaughtered the Transcendents of the Sadar family; such combat power is not something that numbers can resolve. Non-top-tier Transcendents can’t withstand a flying sword in front of him.

Seeing others’ gaze shift away, Xu Mo knew that the deterrent effect of this massacre had been achieved. He didn’t want to offend too many people, so he had warned Lin Jia and the others prior. But obviously, these people wouldn’t stop without trying something, so he had to use this massacre to intimidate them.

Otherwise, it would never end.

Not far away on an energy stone pillar, Kelles Empire Prince Lonco glared at Xu Mo, his face sullen, filled with murderous intent. The stronger Xu Mo was, the harder it was to kill him.

Now at a critical moment, he didn’t want to provoke further issues. Fighting with Xu Mo might give others the chance to reap benefits.

Therefore, Lonco intended to settle with Xu Mo later.

But seeing Xu Mo’s combat power, he had no confidence. The Kelles Empire still had many people here, but if it’s like what happened just now, it wouldn’t be enough to kill.

“Let’s cultivate first.” Lonco composed himself, no longer overthinking, and looked ahead at the energy light column. The flowing energy enveloped the eighteen stone pillars, and the energy light from the stone pillar immediately wrapped around his body. Lonco settled his mind, focusing on cultivation, hoping for a chance in this Core Land of the Old Imperial Family.

At another location, many Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple were filled with emotion, realizing that Xu Mo had become truly strong. Compared to when he fought at the Mystic God Temple headquarters, his progress was astonishing. Now, even Proto might not be able to suppress Xu Mo.

This implies that Xu Mo might now be the number one person in the Ten Temples Desperate Realm.

Heath O’Brien glanced over there, his expression indifferent. He realized one thing: Xu Mo wasn’t unwilling to cooperate with him; he simply didn’t want to. Otherwise, with Xu Mo’s combat power, if they joined forces with him, they could crush the Transcendents of the Kales Empire.

They might even have the chance to kill Kelles Empire Prince Lonco.

But clearly, Xu Mo had no such intention.

This area’s battle subsided, but only temporarily. The Transcendents below still sought targets, with some even discussing possible alliances.

If one force isn’t enough, then join hands to seize a position, and then divide it later.

Xu Mo glanced below before retracting his gaze, telling Zero beside him, “Continue cultivating.”

“What about you?” Zero looked up at Xu Mo, worried that he wouldn’t be able to cultivate.

“I’m fine, you focus,” Xu Mo replied.

“Okay.” Zero nodded without hesitation, returning to the state of cultivation.

Xu Mo couldn’t cultivate, as the people below hadn’t made further moves but were still eyeing him. If both were in a cultivation state, it would be easy for someone to strike sneakily. He had to stay cautious.

For two people, one needed to guard, and he was more suitable for it.

Soon, the energy light on the stone pillar enveloped both their bodies; Zero immersed in her cultivation state while Xu Mo, bathed in the energy light, closed his eyes, absorbing the energy, his senses extending outward, covering the surrounding area, aware of every movement.

As time passed, battles erupted elsewhere again, still revolving around snatching positions on the energy stone pillars. However, this time, the fight didn’t affect Xu Mo; the influence of that day’s massacre of the Sadar family’s Transcendents lingered.

Meanwhile, more individuals from other places were arriving here, entering the Holy Land Gate.

After cultivating in other opportunity grounds, some people still came to this area.

Augustus also arrived here.

Augustus had been cultivating on Mo Mountain previously, and even after Xu Mo and the strong figures of the Heavenly God Race left, Augustus still remained there, comprehending the Mo Mountain Axe.

The Empire Trial Field has many opportunities, but not every opportunity suits everyone. Augustus was not greedy; he encountered a cultivation land suitable for himself, and with such an opportunity, he naturally would not miss it.

Therefore, he spent almost all his time on Mo Mountain, and eventually comprehended the intent of the axe, completing the metamorphosis of his power, making the Gravity Domain even more terrifying.

At this moment, as he walked on the ground, each of his steps seemed especially heavy. This was an invisible change, one that he didn’t even notice himself. Now, there was a sense of profound power in every move he made.

After arriving here, he glanced around at the silhouettes standing on the Energy Stone Pillars. Soon he noticed the Transcendents from the O’Brian Republic and the Mystic God Temple occupying a spot, and then he saw Xu Mo. He and Zero occupied a spot by themselves.

“Augustus,” someone from the Mystic God Temple shouted. Augustus’s strength was also quite impressive. Although the strongest in the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple were Xu Mo and Zero, Augustus followed closely after them. Three years in the Empire Trial Field likely changed his aura, and his strength should have increased too, right?

If they joined forces, their combat power could increase slightly.

Augustus looked up in that direction and nodded slightly, but his footsteps continued forward as he leaped toward the Energy Stone Pillar where Xu Mo was located.

Xu Mo opened his eyes and glanced at Augustus.

“There’s something different,” Xu Mo said. Augustus’s aura had changed considerably.

“I had some insights on Mo Mountain,” Augustus said. “Do you need any help here?”

He noticed that only Xu Mo and Zero were present, while there were many strong figures from the republic, making this side seem a bit lonely.

“Yeah,” Xu Mo nodded. “I’ll try cultivating; can you guard me?”

“Sure,” Augustus nodded. Neither of them was polite and went straight to the point.

Xu Mo felt at ease. With Augustus around, he didn’t need to watch his surroundings with his perception. He could attempt cultivation and see if he could glimpse the secrets of the Energy Ancient Book.

Xu Mo naturally trusted Augustus very much. Without any worries, his spiritual power surged toward the energy light column in the center of the pillar, but it was intercepted by energy, unable to invade.

A barrier seemed to exist around the energy light column, blocking everything. People couldn’t enter, and spiritual power couldn’t invade either.

“It seems these eighteen positions are key,” Xu Mo thought to himself. Bathing in the energy light on the pillar, his consciousness merged with it, and suddenly he felt his consciousness flow with the energy.

For a moment, a peculiar scene appeared in his mind.

Centered around the Ancient Book, it seemed to form an Energy Array. These eighteen stone pillars were the foundation of the Energy Array, and he could perceive eighteen positions, each representing one of the eighteen stone pillars.

Following the energy flow, Xu Mo felt his consciousness penetrate the central energy light column along with the Energy Array. Suddenly, he felt completely isolated from the outside world, fully entering within.

No wonder Lin Jian and others competed for these positions on the Energy Stone Pillars at the start. They were key to connecting with the Energy Array, but there was significant risk if attacked during cultivation.

Now, Xu Mo’s consciousness was inside the energy light column, surrounded by dazzling brilliance, and in front of him, an Ancient Book hovered there.

A book that looked ordinary to the outside world here was filled with a sacred aura, towering as if it occupied the entire world. His consciousness appeared exceedingly small before this Ancient Book, like a speck of dust.

Vast, ancient, and sacred.

What kind of treasure is this?

While Xu Mo was immersed in the cultivation state, outside, below, the crowd was still seeking opportunities, including some very formidable Transcendents who had not captured a spot yet and were naturally unwilling to give up.

Among them was Lin Jia, who still hadn’t secured a spot and could only watch helplessly as others entered the cultivation state. Under these circumstances, his dissatisfaction was understandable.

Lin Jia’s eyes scanned around, pausing on Xu Mo. He had naturally noticed that after Augustus arrived, Xu Mo entered the cultivation state.

Lin Jia knew a secret: when in a cultivation state, one would be entirely immersed and unable to perceive the outside, meaning Xu Mo temporarily entrusted outer defenses to Augustus while he himself delved into the cultivation state.

If Augustus could be dealt with quickly and then Xu Mo and Zero could be instantly killed, theoretically, it was doable.

He didn’t dare target Lin Jian and Delon, but Xu Mo and Zero’s defense seemed weakest, with only Augustus, tempting some thoughts.

With this in mind, a cold light flashed in Lin Jia’s eyes.

However, he needed a more meticulous plan for greater assurance.

Find someone to join forces, strike for a lethal blow!
