The Seventh Base

At this moment, in front of Xu Mo, four flying swords were hovering, surrounded by Thunder Power, sizzling with electricity, pulsing in and out. The flying swords sang with a resonant hum, vibrating at high speed, harboring a terrifying energy.

Currently, Xu Mo can only manage to wield four flying swords to unleash All Phenomena Kill.

A sharp noise was heard again, as many insects lunged into the sky, attacking Xu Mo.

Xu Mo focused his spiritual power, having a complete grasp of everything around him, while the energy in this cosmic space seemed to be entirely at his disposal.

"Buzz."

The four flying swords shot out simultaneously, as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder. A series of sounds like "pfft" continuously echoed as the bodies of those insects falling upon Xu Mo dropped downward simultaneously, each with a hole in them.

Although these insects had strong defenses, they couldn't withstand an attack from Xu Mo, as his assault had already reached the Peak of Imperial Realm.

The insects continued to attack relentlessly, yet under the frenzied massacre by the flying swords, they kept falling.

The flying swords spun faster and faster, rotating around Xu Mo's body, instantly forming terrifying Energy Auras around him.

"Buzz." Xu Mo's body charged downward, the Dawn Blade remained sharp, unstoppable wherever it passed. As the insect nest engulfed Xu Mo's body once again, the flying swords spinning around him, like meat grinders, frantically shredded the insects approaching him.

After an unknown period, the surface of the planet was piled high with insect corpses, densely packed and a bit overwhelming.

Standing amid the insect corpses, Xu Mo took a deep breath, feeling a wave of fatigue wash over him. He was exhausted from the killing, and his spiritual power was greatly depleted.

Skywalker, extremely consuming of spiritual power.

"Congratulations on passing the Black Nest Virtual Trial Ground, you may unlock one reward." An intelligent voice entered Xu Mo's mind, and the next moment, the connection was severed.

"Reward?"

Xu Mo did not expect that passing the Virtual Trial Ground would have an extra reward. He opened the panel to operate and discovered there were many types of rewards to choose from, all of which were very valuable, requiring at least a billion Samarium Coins to purchase outside.

After looking through, Xu Mo finally selected a Genetic Evolution Liquid, Thunder God 7.

The name was indeed quite peculiar, for a Genetic Evolution Liquid to be called Thunder God 7.

However, the efficacy of this Genetic Evolution Liquid complements his Heavy Thunder Breathing Method, perfectly strengthening his Thunder Attribute, making it no longer so mediocre.

"Do you confirm the selection of Thunder God 7 Genetic Evolution Liquid?" The intelligent voice asked.

"Confirm," Xu Mo responded.

"You may proceed to extract it at any time," the intelligent assistant prompted.

After disengaging the equipment, Xu Mo returned to his bedroom and collapsed directly onto the bed, planning to have a good sleep.

This past month, he was nearly sleepless, worn out.

However, his Combat Power visibly progressed, much stronger than when he first entered the Mystic God Temple.

......

In the Mystic God Temple, the enrolled newcomers are all rigorously cultivating.

They are all genius Transcendents from the Chloe Province, whose aim by coming to the Mystic God Temple is to cultivate.

Of course, a few intend to take a different path.

For example, Gisman.

At this moment, he was walking with Erin Uranos. After entering the Mystic God Temple, Gisman frequently contacted Erin Uranos. Though the Uranos Family on Chloe Star is far from the stature of the Mystic God Temple, the familial resources are still exceptionally abundant, and they can even provide resources for Skywalker-grade cultivation.

Moreover, Erin Uranos is excellent in all aspects, with high beauty, making it easy for Gisman to develop some ideas—winning over Erin Uranos could leverage the Uranos Family's power, and, after all, he had never "played" with an Angel before.

"How is your cultivation recently?" Gisman asked, knowing that everything must be done step by step. Since Erin Uranos liked cultivation, he joined her in discussions on spiritual pursuits.

"It's alright," Erin responded.

"If you have any doubts, we can exchange ideas. Staying in the Virtual Trial Ground for too long, maybe try the temple's Battlefield," Gisman suggested, "I can be your sparring partner."

"I will reach out to you if needed." Erin Uranos replied with a smile, maintaining surface courtesy but still kept Gisman at a distance.

During this period, Gisman had approached her several times, so she naturally understood what he was thinking. This Gisman was driven by shortcuts and greed.

Erin Uranos couldn't help comparing him to Xu Mo. Unlike Gisman, Xu Mo never once approached her. Previously chatting with her father, she wanted to acquaint herself more closely with Xu Mo, but it wasn't ideal to disturb his cultivation.

Ahead, a few people walked towards them, discussing something, and as they passed by, Gisman remarked, "Augustus's strength is indeed formidable. Within a month, he has already passed two Imperial Realm Virtual Trial Grounds."

Erin Uranos naturally heard about this as well. Augustus cleared one Virtual Trial Ground in just over twenty days and soon after another.

Additionally, Matthew and Hudson each passed a Trial Ground, securing rewards.

The top three candidates in the Mystic God Temple selection indeed showed no pretense.

"Comparatively, though Xu Mo ranks first, there hasn't been much movement yet. While certain talents may make the Mystic God Temple favor him, once the three months are up, it's unavoidable…"

Previously, Xu Mo avoided Hudson's challenge.

"Xu Mo must have something exceptional to be ranked where he is," Erin Uranos replied. This was also why she distanced herself from Gisman, who always harbors resentment towards Xu Mo. If conflict arose, she would stand by Xu Mo without hesitation.

At this time, Gisman was unaware of what Erin was thinking.

"Recently honing in the virtual world, I should be able to pass one Virtual Trial Ground within three months," Gisman did not respond to Erin's comments. He was unaware of what made Xu Mo exceptional, but in less than two months, his standard would naturally be revealed.

"I probably have no hope," Erin Uranos shook her head, having tried, knowing the Trial Ground is challenging.

Then, they noticed a figure approaching from a distance, and Erin was taken aback, while Gisman displayed an odd expression.

Erin Uranos walked forward and called out, "Xu Mo."

"Miss Erin," Xu Mo smiled and replied.

"Haven't seen you lately, have you been cultivating all this time? What brought you out suddenly?" Erin Uranos inquired.

"I am going to the Genetic Evolution Library," Xu Mo answered.

Erin Uranos stared at Xu Mo in surprise upon hearing his words, "You?"

"Going to claim a Genetic Evolution Liquid," Xu Mo replied.

"Reward?" Erin looked oddly, glancing at Gisman beside.

"Yes," Xu Mo nodded.

"Whew..." Erin sighed internally; Xu Mo was getting stronger.

When he entered the Mystic God Temple, Erin felt his Combat Power hadn't reached the top five. But a month later, he was the fourth one to pass a Trial Ground, implying his Combat Power likely entered the top four, perhaps not far off from those ahead.

This speed of catching up...

Gisman previously mentioned he could pass within three months, using it as a point of pride.

But Xu Mo had already passed.

The gap was stark.

"I'll go with you, I just have something to discuss," Erin Uranos said.

"Alright," Xu Mo nodded.

As they left together, Gisman turned, watching them leave, his expression becoming particularly grim.

Especially those previous remarks now seemed exceptionally harsh.

But how did Xu Mo manage to pass a Trial Ground in a month?

"Congratulations on being the fourth to pass a Trial Ground," Erin said with a smile.

"Who are the first three?" Xu Mo asked.

"Augustus, Matthew, Hudson," Erin replied.

Xu Mo nodded, it was normal for the top three to pass first—their Combat Power was already very strong when they joined the Mystic God Temple.

"Still, with your cultivation speed, I have some anticipation for two months later," Erin smiled.

Currently, many anticipate the Ten Temple Alliance in two months, where they won't face just the talents from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple.
