The Seventh Base - Chapter 1074: 132: The End?

Chapter 1074: Chapter 132: The End?

In the sandstorm, the yellow sand continued to dance, striking the bodies of the crowd.

The battle had ceased, and Proto along with the Transcendents of the O’Brian Republic watched the head severed by Lonco, their gazes a moment of stupefaction.

Heath O’Brien, son of the leader of the O’Brian Republic, was executed by Lonco, who severed his head in front of everyone. This would cause extremely adverse consequences.

Firstly, the Transcendents of the O’Brian Republic failed in their protection, and secondly, those from the Mystic God Temple would likely be shamed, as they were also responsible for protecting Heath O’Brien.

Of course, the greatest disgrace arises from the incident itself; the war between the O’Brian Republic and the Kales Empire has been raging for years. Now that the son of the Republic’s leader was publicly executed by the Kales Empire Prince, it would be a humiliation for the O’Brian Republic.

Proto was stunned there, a look of desolation in his eyes.

Not to mention the friendship between him and Heath O’Brien, their interactions were decent, yet considering Heath O’Brien’s status, he absolutely should not have died here, especially at the hands of the Kales Empire Prince.

This incident has an exceptionally detrimental impact.

Contrary to the thoughts of the O’Brian Republic people, the Transcendents of the Kales Empire witnessing this scene were in a state of extreme excitement, with their eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

Especially Lonco, after severing Heath O’Brien’s head, he even crouched down to pick it up, preparing to take it back. This would be his trophy, his medal.

The disgrace of the Republic is the glory of the Empire.

Entering the Empire Trial Field this time, killing the son of the O’Brian Republic’s leader would be the greatest gain of this trip. Even if there were no other fortuitous encounters, this trip would be worthwhile.

“Retreat.” Lonco’s eyes shone with excitement as he glanced down at Heath O’Brien’s corpse, then his body withdrew backward.

After killing Heath O’Brien, he was no longer interested in continuing the battle, only thinking of leaving with Heath’s head, worried about further complications. As for the life and death of other Transcendents and Cultivators from the Temple of the Republic, he didn’t care much; killing them wasn’t significantly meaningful.

“Boom.” Proto’s figure erupted with a fierce energy aura, appearing to go fully berserk, charging forward to kill, and other Transcendents of the Republic also seemed frantic, rushing to the other side.

Lonco snorted coldly. While retreating, the Transcendents of the Empire continued to block them.

With the deaths of Heath O’Brien and Sarlon, the overall strength of the O’Brian Republic was now weaker than that of the Kales Empire. Their insane outburst now bore little meaning, and Lonco wouldn’t let the opposition reclaim Heath O’Brien’s head.

As the two sides fought fiercely, someone from the Republic took responsibility for recovering Heath O’Brien’s body, but the head was missing. That head must be reclaimed to take back a complete corpse, but Lonco wouldn’t allow them to seize it.

The violent sandstorm gradually lost its power. Accompanying the fall of Heath O’Brien, even the endless yellow sand seemed to lose its previous strength, gradually settling down. After a long time, the desert returned to its former tranquility.

Those outside the sandstorm also learned of Heath O’Brien’s killing, bringing considerable waves in their hearts; after all, he was a princely figure of the Republic, and his death truly had significant influence.

Yet they also wondered how the other confrontation, Lin Fan and Xu Mo’s, had ended?

The sandstorm had dispersed, the wind blowing with flowing sands. This vast desert had buried many corpses, yet Xu Mo, Zero, and Lin Fan seemed to have vanished into thin air, invisible and traceless, along with several others from the Lin family.

If anyone fell in this desert, they should have been buried beneath the sands by now, right?

Perhaps even swallowed by Sand Beasts.

…

Two days later, at the entrance of the Empire Trial Field, a beam of light appeared above, projecting within the Empire Trial Field.

At this moment, in various locations within the Empire Trial Field, many people raised their heads to gaze in that direction.

Three years had passed, and the trials of the Empire Trial Field had ended, and they would leave the Empire Trial Field.

This time, the trip to the Empire Trial Field had a death rate that was very high, similar to before. Many people gained fortuitous encounters, and those who survived generally progressed significantly. Of course, there weren’t that many who truly completed a transformation.

And the most important treasure of the Empire Trial Field, the Ancient Book inside the Holy Land Gate, ended up missing.

Besides, many notable figures died during this trip to the Empire Trial Field, such as Heath, the son of the leader of the O’Brian Republic, and Lin Fan among others, although at this moment, most were still unaware of Lin Fan’s death but would soon find out.

In different locations within the Empire Trial Field, everyone simultaneously looked at the beam of light descending from the sky, then moved toward the location where the light was.

The Transcendents from various major forces in the Empire Trial Field gathered one last time.

Transcendents from the O’Brian Republic also arrived gradually, now gathering together. After Heath’s death, the military forces of the O’Brian Republic and those from the Mystic God Temple were in two separate locations, whereas previously, they had united because of Heath O’Brien’s presence.

Now, with Heath having been killed, the people of the O’Brian Republic would bear the primary responsibility, yet they had underlying grievances toward the Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple, believing their incompetence led to Heath O’Brien’s death, causing some rifts between the two sides.

Augustus, Lowell, and Hudson were also among the Mystic God Temple crowd.

Their gazes continuously scanned their surroundings, especially when they saw people approaching from afar, they would immediately cast their eyes upon them, seemingly searching for something.

Heath O’Brien’s death deeply affected them. A son of the Republic’s leader actually got killed, thus they were somewhat worried about Xu Mo and Zero.

Xu Mo and Zero had not yet appeared, of course, neither had Lin Fan.

Although they were very confident in Xu Mo’s abilities, that was, after all, Lin Fan, the strongest Transcendent of the Old Imperial Family besides Lin Jian eminent in the Empire, previously at the Energy Stone Pillar, Xu Mo had been repelled by Lin Fan, leading to some worry about Xu Mo’s safety.

“Proto, at that time, did you see Xu Mo?” Lowell looked at Proto and asked, knowing Proto was still troubled by Heath O’Brien’s death, but compared to Heath, he cared more about Xu Mo.

Proto shook his head: “It was very easy to lose one’s way during the sandstorm. Xu Mo and Lin Fan should have gone deep into the sandstorm inside, they did not reappear later on, unsure of their situation.”

Xu Mo had immense potential and strong combat power, hoping he is alright.

If Xu Mo also falls in the Empire Trial Field, then this loss would be too significant.

“It shouldn’t be a problem,” Augustus said, indicating that Xu Mo’s strength might be greater than they anticipated.

“Yes.” Lowell nodded, glancing towards the Lin family, many of whom were also watching Lin Fan. The group with Lin Fan hadn’t appeared either.

Though powerful individuals from all sides were gathered here, the Empire Trial Field had reopened, but no one was in a hurry to leave.

“Have you seen Lin Fan?” Lin Jian asked the people from the Lin family.

Everyone shook their heads, causing Lin Jian to frown and glance in the direction of the Mystic God Temple.

Lin Fan had disappeared. It was said he was pursuing a Transcendent from the O’Brian Republic’s Mystic God Temple. Back when Xu Mo was exhibiting dominance on the Energy Stone Pillars, Lin Jian hadn’t noticed any of this, as he was entirely immersed in the cultivation insights from the Ancient Book, paying no other minds.

He learned about some of the events later on. Given his status, he didn’t pay much attention to Xu Mo.

Yet, Lin Fan had disappeared.

Time slowly passed.

In the distant plains, two figures were walking towards this side at a leisurely pace.

These two were dusty from travel; the man had a rugged demeanor, and the woman had exquisite beauty, holding an adorable Monster in her arms. They were none other than Xu Mo and Zero.

“Senior Brother Xu Mo.” Lowell was delighted to see the distant figures, and Augustus and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, Xu Mo returned safe and sound.

From afar, Xu Mo glanced over in this direction; the Empire Trial Field had reopened, and he didn’t expect everyone to still be gathered here without leaving. The Transcendents of various great powers stood in different positions, almost all present.

However, Xu Mo didn’t mind. He resolved the biggest trouble of Heath O’Brien, so there wouldn’t be much danger.

In the sandstorm, everyone personally witnessed Lonco killing Heath O’Brien and cutting off his head. Even people from the republic could testify, and Lonco firmly believed that was his achievement.

The death of Heath O’Brien had nothing to do with him, everything was so ‘clear and obvious,’ and no one would suspect the existence of a second ‘killer.’

Matthew was also dead, all the hidden dangers were eliminated.

As for the Ancient Book, who would know that Zero took it?

“Senior Brother.” As Xu Mo walked step by step to this side, he reached the position where the Mystic God Temple was, and Augustus and several others stepped forward.

“Xu Mo.” Proto and Iz both called out. It’s good that Xu Mo was alright.

Conversely, Aresta, the ‘first person’ of the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple, showed a trace of strange expression.

“You’re not dead?” A voice came, and Xu Mo looked in the direction the voice came from, surprised to find it was Prince Lonco of the Kales Empire speaking.

He looked at Xu Mo with some surprise. How tenacious was this life?

Lin Fan and others pursued, chasing into the desert area, but Xu Mo and Zero returned alive. What does this imply?

So, Xu Mo killed Lin Fan and the Lin’s Transcendents?

On the Lin family’s side, quite a few people also showed different expressions, looking towards Xu Mo’s direction.

Many from the Lin family frowned; inside the Holy Land Gate, Xu Mo had already killed Lin Jia and Lin Kai. Now, could it be that Lin Fan and the others also fell at Xu Mo’s hands?

Likewise, the big family Transcendents of the Odyssey Star Domain were watching Xu Mo’s way. They clearly remembered that Xu Mo exterminated the Transcendent from the Sadar family of the Odyssey Star Domain. Though the Sadar family had no ties with them, having coexisted in the same Star Domain, they were quite familiar with one another.

However, it wasn’t enough motivation to avenge the Sadar family but rather out of curiosity about Xu Mo.

This Transcendent from the O’Brian Republic wasn’t very dazzling, but he had a strong presence.

“Why would I die?” Xu Mo frowned, looking at Lonco.

“Xu Mo.” Proto spoke in a low voice, “Heath was killed by Lonco.”

Xu Mo sharply looked up at Proto, his face changing instantly, seemingly shocked, but not too much grief, as his relationship with Heath O’Brien wasn’t that close.

It shouldn’t be overacted.

Then, Xu Mo frowned deeply and said, “This matter, I’m afraid, will negatively impact the Mystic God Temple.”

“Yes.” Proto nodded, “The head is still with them.”

Lonco seemed to hear the two talking, his eyes staring this way, and when Xu Mo turned to him, an icy smile flashed in his eyes.

He stepped forward, and immediately the Transcendents of the Kales Empire also pressed forward. While Lonco wasn’t interested in killing the Mystic God Temple’s Transcendents, Xu Mo was an exception.

At the Holy Land Gate, Xu Mo not only took their places but also killed many of their powerful individuals.

In another direction, Transcendents from the Lin family also approached Xu Mo’s group.

Xu Mo might not have been a dazzling figure in the Empire Trial Field, but his appearance seemed to stir up another storm.
