The Seventh Base

August looked at Qimo, his eyes becoming more serious. The Source Power on his body roared, and as he took a step forward, the space emitted a muffled sound.

Qimo also looked at him without speaking, and his body charged out fiercely again. The terrifying momentum made people feel their hearts tremble.

August had a tall stature, but in front of Qimo, he appeared particularly small. At this moment, Qimo was three meters tall, as if he could crush August alive.

However, under the gaze of everyone, facing the fierce Qimo, August actually did not retreat. He chose to continue charging forward, enveloped by the Gravity Domain, his speed skyrocketed, like a meteor falling, a terrifying Energy Shock Wave roared out from his body, wanting to clash head-on with Qimo.

"Shaking Star," Elder Cleo whispered, referring to the Combat Skill August was using.

"Boom."

A muffled sound came out, and a more terrifying force collided together, a storm of destruction swept towards the surroundings as both of them retreated. This time, the power of August was unexpectedly on par. The terrifying Energy Shock Wave relentlessly impacted Qimo, making him equally uncomfortable.

Afterwards, both of them collided crazily, as those observing the battle watched them clash punch for punch, the space vibrating violently, everyone around was intimidated by this force. In terms of pure attack power, both could make it into the top ten.

"Gravity acceleration allows for storing power, making the attacks stronger. In terms of pure power, August is still inferior to Qimo, but he compensates by relying on gravity and Combat Skills," Pugins, ranked third in the Capital Star Mystic God Temple, said.

This made Xu Mo furrow his brow. As expected, upon hearing Pugins' words, Qimo changed his attack strategy. He did not give August the chance to distance himself, engaging in close combat continuously, forcing August to retreat again and again.

"Bang."

Another muffled sound occurred, August's body was blasted away. The Source Power roared fiercely on Qimo's body, his internal power seemingly mutated, his eyes glowed with a demonic light, yet he still hadn't taken down August.

"Despicable," someone from Chloe Star Mystic God Temple saw Pugins reminding Qimo, muttered softly, and looked coldly across.

"It doesn't matter, this battle has no suspense, August will definitely win," Xu Mo said, making those behind him reveal a touch of surprise. August will definitely win?

So far, they hadn't seen August having the advantage.

Qimo, his power and defense, both were top-tier, and his speed was also among the top. To deal with such an opponent, more continuous strangulation was needed, like Xu Mo's Heavenly Spiral.

Yet Xu Mo was confident August would win, where did his confidence come from?

Cleo glanced at Xu Mo, smiled silently, August would indeed win.

On the side of the Capital Star Mystic God Temple, the youth sitting beside the elder looked at the battlefield.

Oxso, the number one in the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple.

"Qimo will lose," Oxso said. This year's Ten Temple Alliance was led by him for the Capital Star Mystic God Temple. He intended to break the record from last year, creating a history where at least four people out of the final ten belonged to them, also striving for more opportunities for the cultivators of Capital Star Mystic God Temple to become true inheritors of the Mystic God Temple.

However, the transcendent figures from each star joining the Mystic God Temple were also exceptionally talented. It was normal that reality didn't align with their expectations; they could not break last year's record, at most maintaining a tie.

As they spoke, they saw August's figure soaring into the sky. Qimo looked up at him, and the next moment, he saw August swooping down. With the acceleration of gravity and the Meteor Body Technique, August's speed reached a terrifying level, descending like a flood.

Qimo opposed the momentum upwards, space roared, advancing without hesitation, determined to pierce through August.

"Boom..."

Just as their bodies neared, a terrifying gravity appeared, obstructing Qimo's advance. At that moment, he entered the Gravity Domain, and all its power descended upon him like Mount Tai pressing down.

August descended with the force of suppression directly smashing through Qimo's arm, his arm shattered and fragmented, then his head exploded and fragmented, his body instantly disappeared, so fast that everyone didn't have the time to react.

The surroundings quieted down again, with only August remaining in the battlefield, Qimo had been killed out of the Virtual World.

The clash between the third person of Chloe Star Mystic God Temple and the fourth person of Capital Star Mystic God Temple ended with Chloe Star winning.

Thus, out of the remaining fourteen people, Chloe Star Mystic God Temple and Capital Star Mystic God Temple surprisingly had the same, each having three people.

This was unprecedented; Chloe Star Mystic God Temple was actually on par with Capital Star Mystic God Temple, while the other Eight Great Divine Temples each had only one remaining.

Since the Ten Temple Alliance began, this was the best historic achievement achieved by Chloe Star, without any exception.

The transcendent members of Chloe Star Mystic God Temple were speechless internally; indeed, as Xu Mo predicted, August won.

If before the battle one said they could stand equal with Capital Star Mystic God Temple, they themselves wouldn't believe it, although this was only temporary and not the final result, ultimately they probably still could not match Capital Star Mystic God Temple.

Their remaining three were strong, but the opponent's remaining three were also of Demon Level; any one of them would be difficult to shake.

Truly terrifying was Oxso, the number one of Capital Star Mystic God Temple, who had not yet made a move, no one knew how strong he was, nor dared to challenge him.

After defeating Qimo, August returned to his position.

He did not continue the challenge; the remaining people were likely even harder to deal with, each being the first from the various Mystic God Temples, and the three from the Capital Star God's Temple.

By any measure, it was hard to find an easy target; none were easy to provoke.

The others from the temples were the same, all silent, as currently nobody was confident in defeating anybody else.

Unexpectedly, the identity of the true successors of the temples would be selected from the remaining fourteen people, but who it might be—no one knew.

At this moment, a figure stood up.

As the figure stood, all eyes immediately focused on him.

People from various temples instinctively felt a chill, watching the figure in a moment's daze, with a strong sense of apprehension.

Among the remaining people, if there was someone who could surely win, then it was only one person.

That person was the figure standing now.

Oxo, the foremost among the Capital Star O'Brian Temple.

He had never been in battle, but for the first time he stood up to begin his first fight in the Ten Temple Alliance.

This battle would be without any suspense; no matter who he chose, that person was doomed.

From the direction of the Capital Star God's Temple, everyone's gaze was on Oxo; was he finally stepping forward?

Until now, he had not fought.

But everyone knew, Oxo, was the strongest among the ten temples.

Whoever he chooses, will be defeated.

In such a situation, how could everyone not be nervous?

Even the top person from each Mystic God Temple was the same; before Oxo, perhaps there was no difference.

Oxo stepped out and stood on the battlefield.

This time in the Ten Temple Alliance, he hoped the Capital Star God's Temple could surpass the previous tournament, and it was initiated by him; the temple's people were willing to listen to him.

But now, they were left with only three people and it was impossible to surpass the previous tournament.

Given that, there was no need to deliberately strive; let it go naturally.

He raised his head and gazed towards the extraordinary cultivators from the various temples, and in an instant, the battlefield became quieter; no one spoke, no one wanted to face Oxo at this moment and be eliminated prematurely.

Oxo's gaze shifted toward a certain Mystic God Temple, instantly everyone took a deep breath, and that suspended heart was put down, roughly knowing which God Temple Oxo would challenge.

Oxo was looking at the Chloe Star Temple; their people were mostly eliminated by a few from the Chloe Star Temple.

"Augustus."

Oxo spoke, declaring his challenge to Augustus from the Chloe Star Temple.

Oxo's eyes were calm, revealing no disturbance; he chose Augustus as his opponent for the first battle.

Xu Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Oxo, then looked at Augustus beside him; Augustus appeared quite composed, quietly stood up, and once again marched forward, stepping onto the battlefield.

Challenging the transcendent of the Capital Star Temple had already prepared him to be challenged; Oxo challenging him wasn't surprising.

As for victory or defeat, merely fighting against the highest-ranking person from the Capital Star and even arguably the first among the ten temples, Oxo, even if defeated, it was irrelevant.

Locked eyes, Augustus erupted with a powerful aura of source power on his body, liberating the Gravity Domain to its fullest; this battle's final outcome might already be destined, however, at least it was an all-out fight.

"Your combat power is strong, with extremely skillful usage of gravity; in terms of strength, you should be able to enter the top ten, but in this battle you're going to be eliminated." Oxo said calmly, his voice steady.

Augustus's combat power wasn't weaker than the top person of other temples; from Oxo's estimation, if detailed rankings of combat power were made, Augustus should make it into the top ten.

However, whether it was the top ten or even the top five combat power, it didn't matter to him; if he's going to fight, he inherently needs to choose someone.

The losses Chloe Star caused them were substantial, after all, there must be some recompense.
