The Seventh Base

The flying sword was instantaneously unleashed, like a thunderbolt, shooting out explosively.

Royce's expression slightly changed; the flying sword arrived so fast he couldn't react before it directly descended.

"Bang."

A loud crash as terrifying force struck his protective battle armor, the flying sword's energy seemed to pierce into the energy-condensed armor, its terrible rebound couldn't eject the sword away, the strong power on his flesh made Royce's body tremble and retreat violently.

What a violent attack.

As Royce reacted, the remaining eight flying swords shot toward him, his body swiftly retreated, like a light, but the nine swords followed closely, wrapped with incredible thunder power, hunting him.

"This isn't the Heavenly Killing Formation, it's Tianluo Myriad Forms." Royce, while researching, had only seen Xu Mo use the Heavenly Killing Formation, but now realized Xu Mo had already mastered Tianluo Myriad Forms, its power increased many folds.

Royce's body moved like a phantom, exerting movement technique to its extreme, spectators could see his speed was already incredibly fast, this kind of movement speed few could achieve.

But the core of Tianluo Myriad Forms is instantaneous explosion, during the chase, speed skyrocketed, one instant breaking through space, unavoidable.

"Buzz." Knowing he couldn't avoid this strike, Royce didn't attempt to, his body advanced instead, as the flying swords arrived, he thrust a sword forward.

One thrust appeared like thousands bursting forth, countless sword shadows rang loudly, as this sword pierced forward, enveloping all incoming flying swords, this was also a powerful combat skill from Mystic God Temple, Royce had comprehended much and could wield tremendous power.

The sword clashed with flying swords, screeching noises echoed, the flying swords' ferocious assault was blocked, but then, a violent roar sounded, Royce saw Xu Mo rushing in like a thunderbolt, that terrifying speed granted him an extremely violent impact, causing air to burst with sonic booms.

A flash of the blade appeared, slicing in with that terrifying movement technique, at that moment, Royce felt it was somewhat blinding.

This blade, Dawn, shatters the darkness, revealing the light.

With one strike, the sword shadows vanished, the violent force cleaved through Royce's sword, crashing onto the energy battle suit, his powerful superpower couldn't stop Xu Mo's blade, the cracking sound echoed, the suit was torn apart.

It was just at the instant the suit was shredded, the flying sword pierced in, directly stabbing into Royce's body, penetrating him.

Royce's gaze fell on Xu Mo, eyes extremely complex, at this moment, he seemed to recall Xu Mo's voice before the battle.

He might have chosen the wrong person.

Xu Mo from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple was assessed and entered, but the elders put him in that position, meaning he was qualified to be there.

"Bang."

With a booming sound, like something exploded, Royce's body shattered into pieces, dissipated in the virtual world, directly killed by Xu Mo.

Besides, it was a dominant instant kill.

Xu Mo's strike, employing Tianluo Myriad Forms, Dawn Blade Technique, Meteor movement technique, all learned over the past three months in Mystic God Temple, erupted at this moment, the power extremely astounding, his aim was to crush Royce with overpowering means.

Royce chose Xu Mo as his first opponent, wanting to make a name, from a strategic view it wasn't wrong, but for him this was no good, it meant he was underestimated, seen as a soft target, thought to be the weakest of the top ten Mystic God Temple.

To prevent similar situations later, Xu Mo could only strongly kill the opponent, also he and Royce's ultimate goal was the same, both to attract the temple master's attention, become true disciples, so this battle had to respond strongly.

Thus, it led to Royce's outcome.

His forceful display was stepping on Royce, the opponent had no chance to show and was erased by him, this was also the price Royce paid for choosing him.

Everyone from each Mystic God Temple also looked at Xu Mo, this was the first battle, in this initial fight, Xu Mo from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple showed incredibly ferocious combat power, crushing the third of Willton's Divine Temple, surprising many.

Earlier, many had studied the top-ranked from each Mystic God Temple, knowing something about Xu Mo, but clearly, Xu Mo was not the imagined soft target, easy to handle.

"Nice." Hudson praised, on Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple side, many were quite excited, yesterday Xu Mo beating Gisman already showed a strong side, but that was internal.

Now, in the Ten Temple Alliance battleground, Xu Mo crushed the third of Willton's Divine Temple strongly, giving them pride.

Looking at it this way, the gap between Gisman and Xu Mo was too vast, not on the same level.

At this time, Gisman was the one Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple least wanted to see the current situation, he still fantasized about Xu Mo being defeated in the first battle, losing face.

Yet the result, was precisely the opposite.

Not only did Xu Mo not lose, but rather won in a crushing manner.

"Hmm?"

The crowd looked at Xu Mo, why hasn't he come down yet?

```

Just as they were perplexed, Xu Mo spoke, "I can challenge, right?"

"Yes." A voice came from the air, though no one knew where it originated; after all, this was just a virtual world.

"Okay." Xu Mo nodded, glanced at the list in the sky, then fixed his gaze on Willton's Divine Temple, found a name, and said, "I challenge Zack from Willton's Divine Temple."

Zack from Willton's Divine Temple, ranked fourth, and the name above him had already dimmed—Royce.

Zack frowned, as did the Transcendents from Willton's Divine Temple. Having just defeated Royce, Xu Mo was challenging the next one, which seemed a bit like bullying, purely targeting Willton's Divine Temple.

Since Zack was ranked after Royce, theoretically, his real combat ability was weaker than Royce's. Even if his cultivation over the past three months made him stronger than Royce, it wasn't much stronger, judging by Xu Mo's crushing victory over Royce in the last battle.

Zack stood no chance at all.

The elder of Willton's Divine Temple frowned, looking at Xu Mo in the battlefield. This kid from Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple was stirring up trouble.

On the other side, Elder Cleo also looked at Xu Mo with some surprise; he hadn't expected such behavior from him.

However, this made things more interesting.

Xu Mo's thought was actually very simple: it's impolite not to reciprocate. Since people from Willton's Divine Temple wanted to step on him, wouldn't it be okay for him to step back?

Of course, his actions were also influenced by Elder Cleo.

Although he didn't have much contact with Elder Cleo, when the Church dealt with him, Elder Cleo had gone to receive him. Later, when the newcomer rankings were divided, Elder Cleo placed him first, which was considered an act of appreciation.

The old folks from Willton's Divine Temple made Elder Cleo lose face, so Xu Mo might as well vent some frustration for him.

Moreover, these confrontations were supposed to be arbitrary challenges, without rules.

Zack stepped out; he also wielded a sword, his gaze fixed on Xu Mo, his expression carrying a fierce aura, like a wild beast.

"Shall we start?" Zack directly asked.

"Alright." Xu Mo nodded, nine flying swords were already suspended in front of him.

"Boom." As he spoke, Zack's body had already rushed out, extremely wild, a phantom energy shadow erupted from him, at a glance, it seemed like his body was enlarging, becoming incredibly violent.

The surrounding Source Power rampaged, as if with terrifying angry roars, sounds triggered by Zack's breathing, his cultivation method was somewhat special.

The flying swords roared as well, blasting forth, and Zack didn't dodge; a shout came forth, he charged directly, the flying swords struck the phantom, penetrating into it, but Zack also reached Xu Mo, as if mad, slashing out a wild blade.

"Bang."

Xu Mo's body vanished from where he stood, Zack's blade slashed out a terrifying blade light, but failed to hit Xu Mo.

Xu Mo's body soared into the sky, with a thought, the nine swords returned, quaking fiercely, while Thunder Light flashed around him, breathing like thunder, emitting a fierce rumble.

In the next moment, the nine swords united, shooting forward, striking in an instant, Zack roared angrily, slashing out the Dominating Blade, intercepting the flying swords, but Xu Mo's figure appeared, sword light flashing, slashing forth.

Zack slashed again, with a pfft sound, the energy phantom was cleaved, the flying swords penetrated, directly piercing Zack's head.

Zack knew from the start that he was bound to lose this battle, so his strategy was to try to kill Xu Mo in one go, but unfortunately, he failed.

However, Zack's attack power was indeed strong, not inferior to Royce, who was ranked before him.

With Zack's figure disappearing, Willton's Divine Temple suddenly had two fewer people, defeated by Xu Mo.

Xu Mo glanced over there, deciding not to continue challenging, stopping in moderation. He turned and walked towards Chloe's Mystic God Temple; this would suffice for now.

If he forced them further, he might end up clashing with the top-ranked person from Willton's Divine Temple prematurely, which wasn't necessary.

The ones ranked first among the Ten Temples had the qualification to remain till the end.

After Xu Mo returned, many people's gazes turned towards Willton's Divine Temple. Xu Mo had challenged two in a row, the third and fourth rankers. Would Willton's Divine Temple respond?

If they do respond, then only the top two can intervene, possibly even the first person, perhaps to have a greater chance of defeating Xu Mo.

But, should they battle prematurely?

Now, even the first person of Willton's Divine Temple couldn't confidently assure a steady victory over Xu Mo, could they?

"Don't be impulsive." The elder of Willton's Divine Temple spoke, deciding to swallow this grievance for now.
