The Seventh Base

When Iz landed, numerous flying swords hovered in front of him, exuding terrifying destructive light, ready to strike at any moment.

Xu Mo's body was suspended in front of him, the Asura Body still domineering, filled with a violent aura, like an Asura Thunder God.

Iz was somewhat bewildered; he hadn't expected to lose this battle.

The Azte Mirror Domain had an unbreakable defense, even spiritual power could be defended against, with almost no flaws. Using defense as a cornerstone to drive attacks could place one in an invincible position. Once trapped inside his Azte Mirror Domain, it was like being imprisoned within the mirror realm, left only to endure his endless attacks.

With the powerful Azte Mirror Domain, he was invincible in the dire straits of Willton's Divine Temple, if his defense couldn't be broken, trapped in the mirror domain, how could one fight?

Even combined, the ten Divine Temples had few who could compare with him in terms of defense.

Yet now, he was defeated by a newcomer who had only cultivated in the Divine Temple for two years, his Azte Mirror Domain cracked, the near-unsolvable defensive technique undone.

Xu Mo first demolished the mirror domain, then with his formidable spiritual power, prevented the mirror domain from forming.

The Azte Mirror Domain was Iz's greatest reliance. Once the domain was broken, it was equivalent to losing half; the mirror walls were breached by strong attacks again, leading to his final defeat.

Iz's expression was unusual, not caring about his injuries, a trace of defeat flashed in his eyes, he had indeed lost.

This battle was supposed to be one that must be won, yet he was defeated.

For a moment, the surroundings fell into a bizarre silence.

The people from Willton's Divine Temple were shocked, looking at the battlefield with complex emotions, had their number one in the temple lost?

Xu Mo single-handedly challenged the entire Willton's Divine Temple, crushing all the way, and finally defeated Iz, their temple's strongest.

This made their previous actions appear foolish.

Especially Charles, the instigator of this event, who always wanted to force Xu Mo to act, and now... Willton's Divine Temple was overwhelmed by Xu Mo alone, losing all face.

Before, they used numbers to bully the few, inciting group conflicts, bullying those from Chloe Star's Divine Temple, making it even more ironic now. They forced Xu Mo to act, while even the elders of Chloe Star's Divine Temple stood by and watched as Xu Mo alone challenged their entire temple.

All of this seemed self-inflicted humiliation.

From now on, Willton's Divine Temple would probably have a hard time holding its head high at headquarters.

At this moment, the oppressive force around Xu Mo disappeared, the air returned to calm, and the flying swords pointing at Iz dissipated.

Xu Mo landed, looking at Iz, hearing Iz say, "I've lost."

"Victory and defeat are normal matters. The universe is vast and endless, with countless populations. Just one planet alone has tens of billions of people, among whom Transcendents are many. Becoming the number one in Willton's Divine Temple in desperate straits already proves your strength."

Iz looked at Xu Mo in surprise, why did it feel like the once arrogant and rude Xu Mo was now comforting him?

"The beginning of this incident was because Charles couldn't afford to lose, dragging others from Willton's Divine Temple into it. I hope that after this event, the Transcendents of Willton's Divine Temple will remember this," Xu Mo said. "Even an Empire that once dominated the universe for tens of thousands of years can collapse, nothing is eternal. Willton's Divine Temple thinking they should suppress Chloe Temple is rather petty."

Charles felt even more humiliated when he was mentioned, as this event indeed started because of him, leading Willton's Divine Temple to such disgrace.

Iz fell silent upon hearing Xu Mo's words, speechless.

Willton's Divine Temple indeed acted dishonorably, as Xu Mo said, nothing is eternal. What a colossal force the Silver Star Empire was, yet now, the split republic and New Empire are just parts of it; there are still many powerful forces in the vast Star Domain of Emperor River.

The Ten Temple Alliance was openly defeated; what is there to be unconvinced about?

And now, are they still unconvinced?

"I've been taught," Iz said, unexpectedly finding himself 'educated' by a newcomer, but he had nothing to say, only able to sigh at the new generation replacing the old.

This young man emerging from Chloe Star's Divine Temple is indeed a prodigy, likely to become a leading figure in the Divine Temple in the future.

"Well said."

At this moment, a voice rang out, Xu Mo turned his gaze to see a group of people walking over; they were from the Capital Star's Divine Temple, among them someone Xu Mo recognized, Oxso.

However, Oxso was standing to the side, and the leader was a man in his thirties, strikingly heroic. He smiled and said, "We are all Cultivators of the Divine Temple, just practicing on different planets, why draw such clear lines? Junior Brother Xu Mo is right, nothing is eternal. In our time, we also lost to Chloe Star's Divine Temple. Being able to see the brilliance of other Divine Temples is a good thing, it shows that the newcomers of the Divine Temple are stronger."

Iz looked at the speaker; he naturally knew him, this genius from the Capital Star, dominant for many years, now probably the strongest under the Skywalker Realm.

Proto, the top of the Ten Temple Alliance of his era, now the strongest in the Capital Star's Divine Temple's dire straits, a leading figure among this generation of Divine Temple Cultivators, with one foot already in the Skywalker Realm, infinitely close to a Skywalker, possibly crossing over at any time.

In the current Mystic God Temple, there should be no one who can surpass him. His qualifications are quite senior, and those geniuses of the Capital Star Ao Temple regard him as their leader.

"Proto." Proto extended his hand and addressed Xu Mo, saying, "I've always wanted to meet Younger Brother Xu Mo. Today, seeing you, indeed extraordinary."

Xu Mo reached out to shake hands with him and said, "Senior Brother Proto overpraises me."

"Let me mediate this. Let today's matter end here. Our purpose in coming here is all for cultivation. Sparring in battles is to enhance strength; we are all brothers and sisters of the Mystic God Temple and don't need to be too fierce. Iz, you don't need to mind this matter either." Proto said, naturally having the qualifications to mediate.

In fact, at this point, even if Willton's Divine Temple wanted to do something, it's not possible anymore. They have already been beaten all the way by Xu Mo, so what more can they do?

Even if they don't let go, they have to let go.

Iz and Xu Mo nodded.

"Everyone go practice." Proto looked around at the crowd and said, and immediately the crowd began to disperse one after another.

Proto nodded to Xu Mo and Iz, then led the Capital Star Ao Temple's people away. Many people's gazes lingered on Xu Mo for a moment as they left, clearly very interested in him.

This guy, has a lot of character.

Xu Mo didn't care about these things. The reason he stood out in this battle was partly because the opponent forced him to act, and he had no choice but to step out.

Secondly, respect is built with strength.

Previously, he was humble and courteous to the people at the Temple headquarters because he didn't want to attract trouble out of nowhere. In the future, these people could become friends. But then, Willton's Divine Temple provoked repeatedly, so he could only step out and fight to earn respect through strength.

After defeating Iz, the top figures of various Temples also had to regard him as an equal, rather than relying on status, like Ed and Asman did with their arrogance.

Not to mention the Transcendents of Willton's Divine Temple, even Chloe Star Ao Temple is the same.

Before this, why didn't the 'Elder' of Chloe Star Ao Temple step out, and why did Aresta come out while conversing with Iz?

All because they were relying on their status, considering themselves a level above him.

However, after this battle, Aresta and the others should have realized that at Chloe Star Ao Temple, he doesn't need to rely on anyone.

In fact, after this battle, many people even feel that, compared to Aresta, Xu Mo is more like their representative figure.

Especially those involved in the group conflict incident last time, and the Transcendents who have entered the Temple in the past two years—they look at Xu Mo with different eyes, and about Aresta, they feel nothing. But Xu Mo, he may become their leading figure.

"Senior Brother Xu Mo." At this moment, Lowell stepped forward, looking at Xu Mo with growing admiration.

Xu Mo, with his own strength, challenged the entire Willton's Divine Temple, venting out frustration, grinding Willton's Divine Temple into the ground.

Not only Lowell but also the surrounding people gathered around, vaguely taking Xu Mo as the center.

Not far away, Aresta and the people beside him watched this scene with a strange emotion arising.

They did not step in this time, and Xu Mo unceremoniously told him not to meddle with other people's affairs. In the end, he swept through, leading to Xu Mo becoming the 'heroic' figure of Chloe Star Ao Temple, and now, it seems entirely unrelated to him.

In fact, it's likely many people sneer at his 'number one' status, observing while they needed him to act, ultimately Xu Mo doesn't need him at all.

"Younger Brother Xu Mo."

At this point, Aresta came over to Xu Mo, followed by some 'Elders' from Chloe Star Ao Temple. However, the way they looked at Xu Mo wasn't entirely friendly, as if Xu Mo had helped Chloe Star Ao Temple make a stand and win, yet it did not make them happy.

This results in Xu Mo standing in the limelight for a while, whereas they, fearing they might be criticized instead.

Therefore, their feelings are quite complex.

"Unexpectedly, Younger Brother Xu Mo's combat strength is already so strong. It seems that in the future, the banner of Chloe Star Ao Temple needs to be lifted by Younger Brother Xu Mo." Aresta said politely.

"Thank you, senior brother, for the compliment." Xu Mo showed no emotion, smiling in response.

He didn't know Aresta well, but as for his previous actions, he couldn't say he was fond of them.

"Not only in the future, but Senior Brother Xu Mo can already carry the banner of Chloe Star Ao Temple now." Lowell unceremoniously chimed in, now being Xu Mo's staunch supporter.

Aresta felt some embarrassment hearing this, and Lowell, as the Governor's son, could not be offended. Therefore, he ended up making a fool of himself.
