The Seventh Base

Oxso was tall and slender, dressed in white, with tousled hair.

This first person from the Capital Star Ao Temple had never been defeated. His strength compelled many top-tier geniuses of the Capital Star Ao Temple to submit to him and follow his commands.

This was the result of his overwhelming strength and charisma. In this Ten Temple Alliance, no matter how others competed, there was no suspense about who would be first—Oxso, without a doubt.

Moreover, Oxso didn't even need this Ten Temple Alliance to earn the status of the true disciple of Ao Temple; this was known to everyone at the Capital Star Ao Temple. This Ten Temple Alliance was just a formality.

During his cultivation at the Capital Star Ao Temple, even the Hall Master knew Oxso and would occasionally chat with him.

If Oxso couldn't become the true disciple of Ao Temple, then perhaps no one in this generation could.

Augustus also knew well the strength of Oxso. Historically, the Capital Star Ao Temple was the strongest. This was understandable since it was the headquarters and thus had access to better resources.

As a result, most of the top geniuses of the O'Brian Republic chose the Capital Star Ao Temple. Moreover, the Capital Star was the strongest planet, with the most Transcendent geniuses, and attracted talents from Emperor River and the entire republic, creating a pool of talents at the Capital Star.

For example, if Xu Mo had the time, he would have gone directly to the Capital Star instead of being on Chloe Star, but crossing the Star Domain takes time.

However, no matter how strong Oxso was, it was irrelevant now. Since he stepped forward to battle, he had to fight with all his strength.

At that moment, floating in front of Oxso was a flying sword, unlike Xu Mo's Energy Flying Sword. The sword before Oxso wasn't a short sword but a regular-sized one, formed by condensed energy.

This flying sword was of various colors, resembling a cosmic star body, with multi-colored hues. A powerful energy aura erupted from the suspended sword, emitting strong energy light as if it was about to shoot directly from the sword, containing a special destruction power.

Augustus was the closest to Oxso, his brows tightly furrowed, seemingly sensing the destructive power contained in the suspended sword.

"I'm about to take action," Oxso reminded Augustus.

"Please,"

Augustus responded, unleashing the Gravity Domain to its full strength. Facing Oxso, the first of the Capital Star, and even the leader of the Ten Temples, he dared not be careless.

He was very confident in his strength, being first ever since he joined Chloe Academy, never defeated, but this opponent was different.

Despite this, he showed no sign of fear; to be intimidated before the battle was a psychological defeat—what was the point of battle then? Better not to fight at all.

He wanted to see how strong the first of the Capital Star was.

As Augustus finished speaking, Oxso made his move. The sword flashed like lightning, cutting through the air in an instant. Energy light flashed in Oxso's eyes, and the flying sword imprinted in his pupils, advancing toward Augustus.

"Telekinesis, flying sword."

People from the Chloe Star Ao Temple felt their hearts tremble and involuntarily glanced at Xu Mo.

This ability was very similar to Xu Mo's.

The flying sword instantly thrust toward Augustus, entering the powerful Gravity Domain around him. A terrifying repulsive force fell upon the sword, hindering its momentum and slowing its advance, yet it continued forward.

"Zzz…" Brilliant energy light erupted from the sword, piercing the Gravity Domain, even crushing the surrounding energy. Within the Gravity Domain, a powerful Destruction Storm appeared, advancing toward Augustus step by step.

"So strong." Waves rippled through the hearts of the onlookers. Just controlling an illusory energy sword pierced through the Gravity Domain, carrying extreme destructive power toward Augustus. Wherever the flying sword passed, everything seemed to be reduced to nothingness.

Seeing the flying sword continue its destructive pass, Augustus stepped forward, raised his fist, and unleashed a punch. A heavy and domineering power roared out, transforming into a terrifying Gravity Fist, impacting the sword.

Finally, that energy flying sword began to disintegrate and shatter, dispersing into energy light within the Gravity Domain.

Despite this, just that one sword allowed people to feel Oxso's tremendous combat power.

That one sword pierced through the Gravity Domain and threatened Augustus—had it been any of those ranked beyond the top ten in the Ao Temples, they likely couldn't withstand just one sword. This led many geniuses in the Ao Temple to sigh silently; although they were admired upon entering Ao Temple, the gap between different people remained so vast.

And this was just one sword for Oxso, perhaps an effortless strike, an appetizer.

Such combat power would make the vast majority despair.

Indeed, the handsome man in white floated in the air, rising further. With a thought, powerful energy auras appeared around him, and one by one, energy swords took shape, each containing terrifying destructive force.

This time, it was ten swords, ten times the previous number.

Ten swords floated in the air, each one shining with brilliant energy light.

Xu Mo kept his eyes on the battlefield. It was clear that Oxso also possessed very strong telekinesis, but he didn't cultivate the Skywalker technique. Instead, he directly condensed energy swords to attack, purely controlling them with telekinesis.

Moreover, Xu Mo could sense that there was a different energy contained within Oxso's swords.

"Oxso's superpower is somewhat special. His source power is said to have the power to decompose and shatter objects, causing anything to split apart. This source power is extremely rare, and if cultivated to the strongest level, it becomes even more terrifying. With his powerful telekinesis and special source power, he can kill with a single thought, directly splitting a person, and of course, he can also split any object," Cleo said in a low voice, seemingly speaking to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo showed a touch of surprise. In this battle, Augustus was probably going to lose.

"I've heard that there's a very top-tier character in Oxso's family, isn't there?" a voice said from behind. It was Erin Uranos. Although she was already eliminated in the previous round, she was still paying attention to those top transcendent beings.

This Oxso was reputed to be the strongest figure in the Ten Temple Alliance, so she naturally knew something about him.

Oxso's family had a formidable top-tier figure. It was said their energy cultivation, when taken to the extreme, could split a planet.

Xu Mo looked towards the battlefield and saw Oxso make his move.

The ten flying swords rushed out with terrifying speed, instantly entering Augustus's gravity domain. Augustus's expression was solemn, and as the gravity domain exploded, his body surged towards the sky.

"Buzz..." The flying swords turned, shouldering the force of the gravity domain, and continued to assault Augustus with destruction power. Earlier, one sword alone formed tremendous destructive force, and now with all ten swords, they seemed like a river of destruction appeared.

But at this moment, the ten swords suddenly showed a sequence; their speeds were not consistent, with one sword accelerating, taking the lead over the other nine.

"Boom..." Augustus directly punched and shattered it, his figure continued rapidly upward, while the other nine swords pursued. But a similar scene occurred again, with one sword again attacking first and being destroyed by Augustus.

"Impressive."

"Applying the gravity domain on the ten swords, each sword experienced different gravity directions and strengths, preventing them from being uniform. Such formidable control."

An elder from the Mystic God Temple praised, noting Augustus's talent in the gravity domain was terrifying. With this control, if not for encountering Oxso, he would have a fighting chance against anyone else.

"Look at Oxso."

As Augustus destroyed the flying swords one by one, around Oxso's body, a raging energy storm appeared, like a myriad of colorful star clouds, a truly magnificent sight.

"This..."

The people of the Ten Temple Alliance looked up towards Oxso. Was this truly an ability that an Imperial Realm Transcendent could possess?

This energy storm, even when observed from afar, still emanated a soul-stirring aura of destruction.

They saw Oxso's methods, as if a great practitioner and Skywalker in one.

Sword after sword containing terrifying destructive power appeared from the star cloud and then continuously fell, attacking towards Augustus. One's telekinesis is limited in strength, unable to precisely control all flying swords, but Oxso didn't need precise control. He could directly overwhelm opponents with sheer numbers and destructive force.

The sky was filled with a rain of destructive swords descending upon Augustus.

Everyone watched the center of the battlefield, feeling an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. They wondered, if placed in Augustus's position, how could one survive?

This attack was utterly despairing.

Xu Mo also felt an oppressive pressure emanating over, even as an observer. One could only imagine the immense pressure Augustus faced on the battlefield.

This was the pressure from the head of the Capital Star, even the foremost figure of the Ten Mystic God Temples, Oxso, with an invincible presence.

Listening to Erin Uranos, Oxso came from a great family, and the inherited talent should be extremely formidable.

Pugins and the others from the Capital Star Mystic God Temple looked towards the battlefield with indifferent eyes. Having seen Oxso in action, they naturally knew Oxso's strength. Augustus, although extraordinary in combat power, how could he possibly be a match?

Oxso simply didn't wish to overpower others. Otherwise, if he struck earlier, Xu Mo and the others would have been long eliminated, and no one would have been able to withstand it.

Augustus released his gravity domain to the extreme. Energy roared from his body as he saw the sky full of falling sword rain, and Augustus surged upwards towards the sky.
