The Seventh Base - Chapter 931: 16: Betrayed

Chapter 931: Chapter 16: Betrayed

The selection date for the Mystic God Temple is gradually approaching, and various Transcendent forces have also gathered enough people in preparation to submit their recommended candidates at the last moment.

For Transcendent forces like Tis Palace, their direct competitors would be Cloud Tower and top martial arts halls, and likewise, there’s intense competition among some powerful Transcender Academies on Chloe Star.

Of course, when the selection arrives, everyone will compete together.

Chloe Star has also become lively; as part of the O’Brian Republic, the Mystic God Temple recruits annually not only on Chloe Star but simultaneously throughout the entire O’Brian Republic.

The headquarters on the Capital Star, as well as the centers of the nine provinces, all recruit on the same day.

On Chloe Star, it is definitely one of the grandest events.

At Tis Palace, people are coming and going in succession. Recently, Tis Palace has also been very lively, with many obtaining recommendation slots internally while recruiting externally; everyone is preparing for the same event.

“I heard they’re making a full effort to invite Saye?” someone outside was discussing.

“Yes.” The person next to him nodded: “Cloud Tower and the Uranos Family are also vying for people, and currently, the Uranos Family holds the advantage.”

The Uranos Family, being a family power, is wealthy and resource-rich, willing to spend money.

Saye is a top-tier Imperial Realm Transcendent, and it is said that his combat power has reached a level of absolute terror. Of course, such a person is a must-have.

Saye also knows how to leverage his advantages, not rushing to join any force, waiting for them to make offers. As the time nears, the bids from various forces are getting higher to compete.

“We don’t seem to have recruited many people this time, it seems this year might be troublesome.”

“Yes, we might also miss out on Saye now.”

Most of the people coming and going were discussing the same issue, concerning the selection for the Mystic God Temple.

In a cultivation field inside Tis Palace, Xu Mo was sparring with Zero. During this time, Xu Mo and the others have been in training; besides the virtual battlefield, Xu Mo often sparred with Zero.

Xu Mo was using his sword technique, clashing with Zero; his attack speed was extremely fast, but Zero’s every attack was immensely domineering, directly intercepting Xu Mo’s technique.

Now, Xu Mo has mastered the Heavenly Killing Formation to a certain extent. Besides this formation, he regularly practices swordplay.

Since starting in the Underworld, he’s always used a saber; thanks to his incredibly fast nerve response, his sword technique was fast, precise, and fierce even before training in combat skills.

Now his swordplay is entirely at his command. After referencing the technique given by Gao Hong, Xu Mo’s sword became more like a work of art, each strike like a chain, as quick as lightning. Yet, if there were a flaw, it would be that the fast strikes weren’t powerful enough.

Hence, Xu Mo frequently practices a strike taught by Qiong. As his realm improved, Xu Mo’s understanding of that strike deepened, becoming a true trump card.

“Zero, be careful now.”

At this moment, Xu Mo flew into the air, speaking to Zero below.

He was bathed in dazzling Source Power light, with his saber likewise shining, his spirit reaching its peak, and a terrifying pressure descending from above. The saber exuded an aura of intent, giving an extreme sense of sharpness.

Zero looked up at Xu Mo with bright eyes, feeling that at this moment, Xu Mo seemed entirely merged with his saber, emanating saber intent from his whole being, extremely sharp, indistinguishable from the blade.

“Bring it on.” Zero’s crisp voice echoed, she found that Xu Mo looked quite good at this moment.

At her words, a terrifying storm seemed to erupt from her sword, with Source Power roaring. Xu Mo, looking down at Zero, felt as if she had become a different person, sensing the rising sword qi coming straight at him.

What kind of sword skill is this?

He hadn’t seen it before; was this girl holding back during their previous battles?

But it made sense. While on Byron Star, Qiong secretly trained Zero for a long time. What she cultivated in that period, he didn’t know, but given Qiong’s strength, Zero surely improved greatly.

“I can’t…” Xu Mo felt his thoughts off; this was dangerous. If he couldn’t win, his family standing would be at risk.

“Sss.”

Blade intent erupted, slashing down from the sky, creating an unmatched war saber as if a bolt of lightning cut through the sky, splitting the space the moment it came down.

Zero launched an upward sword slash simultaneously, producing an extremely domineering sword aura, thick and carrying an unstoppable momentum that seemed to split the space apart.

The blade and sword did not collide; the blade and sword aura slammed together as if truly clashing. A terrifying Destruction Storm arose in the cultivation field, exceedingly sharp, carrying a sense of cutting and tearing.

“Bang.”

With a loud noise, the two’s swords finally clashed, both being forced back. Xu Mo felt a numbness in his arm, and Zero was sliding backward.

“Impressive.” Xu Mo mused silently, just about to sheath his sword when his gaze suddenly narrowed. He saw Zero rushing towards him with her sword, the enormous blade once again igniting a domineering sword path aura, her whole being enveloped in light, exuding a divine aura.
