The Seventh Base

Chapter 1059: Chapter 118: Stability

Another battlefield, after Xu Mo killed Lin Jia, Zero also took care of Lin Kai.

With the cooperation of the Ancient Beast, her spiritual power suppressed Lin Kai completely. The previous assassination attempt equally enraged her, leading to a deadly strike.

People around witnessed the deaths of Lin Jia and Lin Kai, their bodies lying on the ground, stirring intense emotions in their hearts.

Especially the other Transcendents from the two branches of Lin Jia and Lin Kai, their expressions were extremely gloomy, yet they dared not make reckless moves. Their powers were significantly inferior to Lin Kai and Lin Jia, and they were simply unable to participate in such a battle, otherwise the outcome might be like that of many Transcendents from the Kales Empire previously, crushed and killed.

They didn’t expect to be defeated so miserably, complete defeat on both battlefields.

Lin Jia, Lin Kai, descendants of the Old Imperial Family, top figures of the Lin, leaders of respective branches, how dare Xu Mo and Zero kill them?

Even though the Lin lineage is vast, they are not particularly familiar with each other, yet when facing external enemies, their stance remains united. The deaths of Lin Kai and Lin Jia are likely something those who are cultivating on the Energy Stone Pillars won’t let Xu Mo and them escape.

Now, only those few stronger than Lin Jia can deal with Xu Mo and them; others, perhaps, are not worth concerning.

Someone glanced towards that direction, with Lin Jian at their head, occupying four seats in total. Those on the Energy Stone Pillars are immersed in their cultivation state, undisturbed, while their branch guards against any intrusion.

The guards there also saw the deaths of Lin Jia and Lin Kai, many frowned momentarily, their eyes flashing coldly towards Xu Mo and Zero, discussing something, yet none took action.

Currently, the most important matter is still here, this volume of the Ancient Book might be related to the legacy of the Empire’s Old Imperial Family ancestors, of utmost importance. Lin Jia and Lin Kai, lacking in strength, launched a surprise attack, which inevitably brought about their downfall. Ultimately, it’s troublesome to avenge them, quite a bad luck.

When Xu Mo and Zero finished off their opponents, they had already left the Energy Stone Pillar, yet surprisingly no one went to seize it.

When people are above, everyone wants to plunder; upon coming down, no one dares to move. They are all observing the outcome of this battle; seeing Lin Jia and Lin Kai being killed, no one dares to make rash moves.

Xu Mo and Zero walked back, returned to the Energy Stone Pillar, standing there, gazing around below.

Now, can things finally be quiet?

Having killed two groups, first establishing authority with the Kales Empire people, then shocking the Sadar family individuals, now Lin Jia and Lin Kai’s death, should be sufficient?

At this moment, two figures from afar were rushing towards this side, searching for something.

“Senior Brother Xu Mo.” Soon one of them spotted Xu Mo and his group, immediately heading towards that direction, it was Lowell and Hudson.

After some cultivation, they came to the Holy Land Gate side.

“What’s happening?” Lowell looked around, still not understanding the situation.

Eighteen positions, Senior Brother Xu Mo and his group occupied one, impressive.

Their figures soared into the air, the two joining Xu Mo and his group.

“You guys came just in time.” August said.

“What’s up?” Lowell asked.

August briefly explained, Lowell and Hudson nodded, immediately understanding, their gaze sweeping around.

Indeed, only Senior Brother Xu Mo and his group’s pillar seemed desolate, whereas each other Energy Stone Pillar had many guards, while Xu Mo was cultivating, with only August guarding.

“Senior Brother, you and Senior Sister Ling should cultivate, leave this area to us.” Lowell said confidently, evidently having made significant progress in cultivation recently.

Moreover, along with August and Hudson, with cooperation among the three, surely no more assassination attempts would dare arise.

“Thank you,” Xu Mo said, having just gained an insight but was abruptly awakened by an assassination attempt; now, he indeed needs a peaceful environment, having killed Lin Jia should deter others adequately.

Now, with Lowell and Hudson guarding here, ensuring absolute security, he can immerse himself in cultivation, focused, without concern for any external occurrences.

“Leave it to us.” Lowell replied.

Xu Mo nodded, sitting on the Energy Stone Pillar, communicating with Zero Spiritual Power, “Zero, how’s the cultivation, do you feel that previous sense of familiarity?”

“Yes.” Zero Spiritual Power transmitted its response, “This volume of Ancient Book is the Book of Enlightenment, an extremely precious treasure.”

“??” Xu Mo, hearing Zero’s words, suddenly felt a bit self-doubt.

Zero actually figured out what this Ancient Book is called?

Why does he sense nothing at all?

Could it be…

It shouldn’t be.

If that’s true, Zero’s lineage is quite astonishing.

This place is a legacy from the Silver Star Empire’s Old Imperial Family, Zero having had a sense of familiarity before. This ancient book from the Core Land is likely prepared for the Empire descendants.

If Zero can unravel the mysteries within, then wouldn’t it mean…

Or perhaps, it’s just a coincidence? Because Zero is so exceptionally talented, he managed to uncover some secrets.

It cannot be denied that this possibility exists, however, the possibility of the former also exists.

The Lin Jia they just killed was also a person of the Lin Family. Thinking about this made Xu Mo feel a bit strange, but he didn’t feel any guilt. Even if they belong to the same family, if there’s a situation involving a treasure hunt, they would probably handle it the same way.

Would Lin Jia dare to seize the seats from those people in the Lin family?

If that were the case, the people occupying the seats in the Lin family might kill him as well.

“Zero, if you really encounter a big opportunity, like obtaining some kind of inheritance, make sure not to let others see or know about it,” Xu Mo reminded again, though he had already cautioned before.

Opus of Genesis!

Just hearing the name, it feels like this ancient book might be one of the treasures of the old royal family of the Silver Star Empire, left here. It’s uncertain if it was placed here before or after the Empire’s fall.

Currently, Xu Mo doesn’t know if Zero can gain a great opportunity, but if he truly does, he needs to stay low-key, or there will be big trouble.

It’s not just within the Empire Trial Field; even outside, there could be danger.

“I know,” Zero replied.

“Mm, cultivate,” Xu Mo said. The two of them didn’t continue speaking but guided their consciousness back into the Energy Stone Pillar again.

A moment later, Xu Mo’s consciousness once again arrived before the ancient book. Majestic, mysterious, and holy pressure enveloped his consciousness. His consciousness made an effort to perceive it and once again found ‘that page’ from before. His consciousness locked in and entered it.

In the universe, terrifying lightning flashed, exuding a sense of destruction as if a slight drop of power could cause instant annihilation.

What kind of treasure is the Opus of Genesis?

Xu Mo’s consciousness delved deeply; he seemed not just to enter a page of the ancient book but rather a cosmic world filled with endless destructive lightning.

However, this is not a real world, merely a page within this Opus of Genesis. Otherwise, Xu Mo’s spiritual power could not linger here for even a moment and would be shattered by the destructive power.

But even though it’s a fictional world, that terrifying sense of destruction still weighed heavily on his spiritual power, making him tremble with fear.

Xu Mo’s consciousness continued to delve deeper, spreading inside to try to glimpse more mysteries, but his spiritual power was under extreme pressure. If his will wasn’t firm or his spiritual power not strong enough, he wouldn’t be able to continue under this pressure.

With his spiritual exploration, he glimpsed more; the terrifying destructive lightning swept through the universe. Wherever it passed, everything turned to dust. He saw destructive lightning encounter a planet; the lightning fell on the planet and split into countless branches, like numerous roots piercing into it, transforming into countless beams of light. Subsequently, the planet shattered and broke apart, turning into countless light spots and becoming cosmic dust.

Xu Mo was shocked in his heart; is the Opus of Genesis the source of enlightenment for the cosmic world?

Such terrifying destructive power, if one can comprehend even a trace, it might form a powerful transcendent domain.

If one could control the destructive power within the Opus of Genesis, could a human truly destroy a planet?

In movies, top weapons possess the power of star annihilation, capable even of destroying a star domain. In the world of advanced civilization, this should not merely exist in movies; in reality, advanced civilizations inherently possess star annihilation power, the ultimate technological weapon.

However, humans are tiny in comparison; can personal cultivation reach such a level?

At that point, perhaps a person can no longer be called human, but a god.

Outside, on the Energy Stone Pillar, Xu Mo’s entire body was radiant, flowing with powerful energy light, as if merging with the energy array on the pillar. Beside him, Zero was the same, entering a special state.

Zero’s long silver hair moved without wind, forming an energy aura around her, extremely domineering. Though in a cultivation state, her expression occasionally changed.

On the other Energy Stone Pillars, everyone else was also in a state of cultivation.

After a period of killing and fighting, the people below dared not act rashly anymore. They’ve already tried everything they could and could only continue to wait for opportunities.

Heath O’Brien of the O’Brian Republic was also not concerned with outside matters, immersed in cultivation. Beside him, Proto was cultivating, with transcendents from the republic and people from the Mystic God Temple guarding them.

Sometimes, the top transcendents from the Mystic God Temple also had other thoughts. Although Heath O’Brien had previously promised, he still hadn’t given up his position for others.

But they didn’t take any action, and an internal conflict was unlikely. Moreover, Proto was there; after all, he was one of their Mystic God Temple’s members.

Some would glance over at Xu Mo’s side, with some occasionally feeling envious and understanding Xu Mo’s previous choices.

With Xu Mo’s current combat power, there was indeed no need to help Heath O’Brien. By helping him, he would not have a share, just like the others.

Now, Xu Mo himself occupied a seat.

Currently, the small group led by Xu Mo seemed entirely independent of them, forming a separate faction, firmly holding onto a cultivation seat.

As for Lin Jian, Delon, and others, they too were completely immersed in cultivation, forgetting the passage of time.

Unknowingly, the time for the closure of the Empire Trial Field drew nearer.
