Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

"Xiao Mo..."

"Lin Mo..."

"Lin Mo..."

This scene was witnessed by Fang Tangjing, Liang Yuan, Wu Jinfeng, and Wu Yingxi all at the same time, but Lin Mo was quickly absorbed into the dark vortex.

Soon after, the black vortex suddenly disappeared, and the world returned to a state of darkness.

"What just happened? That black vortex, just one look made my soul shiver," Liang Yuan stared wide-eyed, his forehead covered in fine sweat.

Even though they had just faced those powerful demon beasts, he'd never felt like this before, this kind of helplessness and trepidation was a fear that came from the depths of his soul.

At this moment, the bizarre thing was that those numerous demon beasts and illusion beasts that had been chasing Wu Jinfeng and Wu Yingxi suddenly turned around and fled upon witnessing the appearance of that black vortex.

"Lin Mo, he?" Wu Jinfeng's eyes widened.

"What was that black vortex just now, we've never encountered such a thing," Wu Yingxi also frowned deeply.

"No, this is the Ninth Level of the Prison Tower, I need to go up and take a look," Fang Tangjing said and immediately transformed into a streak of flowing light, ascending rapidly. Wu Yingxi, Wu Jinfeng, and Liang Yuan exchanged glances but made no move; the black vortex just now was too strange, and moreover, their relationship with Lin Mo was just average. As for Fang Tangjing, he was the one who invited Lin Mo into the Prison Tower, and now that Lin Mo was absorbed by the black vortex, Fang Tangjing naturally couldn't sit idly by.

In just a moment, Lin Mo returned again.

"Vermilion Bird, what's wrong?" Wu Jinfeng asked.

Lin Mo shook his head, brow furrowed tightly, and said, "Just now, I tried to rush up, but I encountered a barrier, I simply couldn't get through."

"Hm?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment; they had all been in the Prison Tower before, and rushing upward could easily get them to the next layer of the Tower, but they had never encountered anything so strange.

"This Prison Tower is quite peculiar, we should leave here first, we all know Lin Mo's strength; he will definitely come out successfully," Liang Yuan said.

This isn't because Liang Yuan has a cold personality; on the contrary, he's a man who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, speaking bluntly. Lin Mo had demonstrated combat capabilities that were much stronger than theirs, so if even Lin Mo couldn't rescue himself, they wouldn't be able to help him either.

"Yes, this is the only option now; let's leave the Prison Tower for now, I hope Xiao Mo returns safely."

Fang Tangjing frowned; they were all powerful characters, decisive in their actions, so once they made a decision, they swiftly descended downward; this Prison Tower was indeed too strange.

...

Ugh

A splitting headache made Lin Mo slowly open his eyes. They were still a bit dazed, but after a moment he recalled everything that had happened earlier.

Earlier, he and Fang Tangjing and the others were attacked by three demon beasts at the Star Wheel Mirror level. After killing those three demon beasts, a black vortex appeared in the sky, and its incredible attraction had sucked him in.

"This is the place where I was absorbed by the black vortex?" Lin Mo rubbed his head, his expression turning a bit solemn, and immediately mobilized the spiritual energy within his body. Fortunately, the spiritual energy within him was still operable, and it appeared that his body hadn't suffered any harm. Nonetheless, with caution, Lin Mo still summoned the Xuanyuan Sword into his hand, slowly moving forward.

This space was identical to the space in the Prison Tower, surrounded by endless darkness, but the difference was that this darkness carried a sensation that made Lin Mo's heart beat faster.

"Hiss!"

A pair of scarlet eyes, like huge red lanterns, suddenly appeared in the darkness, exceptionally striking.

From those red eyes surged a bloodthirsty lustre, emitting a strange sound.

"Such a strong aura, an illusion beast at the Innate level?"

Lin Mo was taken aback.

Unlike demon beasts, which have flesh and are adept at physical attack laws, illusion beasts are skilled in soul attacks, and their form is quite illusory, as if shrouded in a black fog.

"Hiss!"

This illusion beast suddenly opened its mouth, and a powerful suction force was generated, continuously absorbing the surrounding darkness, considering Lin Mo as its food as well.

"Given this illusion beast's power, it couldn't have created a black vortex that left me helpless."

Lin Mo pursed his lips, as dark red flames floated around him, these flames contained the Power of Soul and were more effective against entities like illusion beasts than Light Sword attacks.

"Go!" The three dark flames transformed into three black streaks of light, instantly plunging into the illusion beast's mouth, which immediately let out an eerie and miserable cry, but wasn't immediately incinerated to ashes; instead, three transparent holes appeared in its body and were continuously

being repaired by the surrounding black fog.

"Foolish creature, this is the person I want..."

In the dark void, a sharp and high-pitched voice resounded.

The illusion beast, with its huge red lantern-like eyes, suddenly showed a frightened expression.

Soon, a palm appeared in the void and struck the illusion beast into ashes.

"An Innate level beast smacked to death in one swipe?"

Lin Mo blinked. Unlike cultivators, illusion beasts don't practice laws, Dao Heart, or mysterious magic techniques, making them weaker than cultivators of the same level, but the Innate Energy within them was real. To be wiped out with just one swipe made Lin Mo's heart race faster.

Even if it were himself, he couldn't easily kill an Innate level illusion beast.

"You made the black vortex?"

Lin Mo furrowed his sword eyebrows, eyes glinting sharply, looking into the void.

"Heh heh, it was me, little guy."

Lin Mo gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tighter, preparing to unleash his strongest strike, and then use Qiankun Step to escape from here. Since returning to Earth, he hadn't encountered an existence that made him react like this.

"Little one, don't worry... I won't harm you. Moreover, even if you want to resist, do you think you can be my opponent? A mere Innate realm, I can smack a bunch like you with a single hand."

As that strange voice resounded again, Lin Mo's eyes widened.

In the distance, far in the void, a few eerie green flames appeared, slowly revealing the silhouette of a figure cloaked in a black robe.

"Who are you?"

Lin Mo didn't let down his guard due to a few words from the other party; instead, he channeled all his True Yuan into the Xuanyuan Sword, ready to launch his strongest attack should the opponent make any move.

"Little one, I've said... you're not my opponent, and I won't harm you."

As the figure cloaked in black robes approached continuously, Lin Mo felt the spiritual energy he'd gathered within him showing faint signs of disintegrating.
