The Seventh Base

Chapter 1043: Chapter 105: Creating Conflict

One month later.

On Mo Mountain, Xu Mo stood in front of the Graphite Mountain rock wall, holding a War Axe with his eyes closed tightly.

A terrifying aura of Energy Elements surged into his body, forming a domain centered around him, imbued with an intense sense of oppression, heavy and full of power.

Even Xu Mo’s body was trembling slightly.

This scene stirred the hearts of Taman and other Transcendents of the Tyr Star Domain as well as Augustus and others. This time, Xu Mo persisted for a long time. After a month of tempering, the duration he could hold the War Axe increased each time.

In Xu Mo’s spiritual world, an image of a Shaking Heaven Battle Axe chopped down repeatedly. The axe intent was overpowering, the pressure terrifying, each strike felt like it was tearing apart his body and soul.

“This axe technique consists of only one chop,” Xu Mo thought to himself, yet each time the experience felt different.

“This axe might just be an ordinary axe, with nothing special about it. A legendary figure from the Old Imperial Family left this single axe chop here, preserving the axe intent for future generations to comprehend.”

Over the past month, Xu Mo had gained some insights.

The precious aspect of the Mo Mountain Axe was not the War Axe itself, which might just be an ordinary axe. The truly powerful part was its axe intent, the embodiment of power.

Therefore, they were not supposed to resist the axe intent but to comprehend and integrate with it.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo began to attempt this approach.

Gradually, a more terrifying oppression surged over him, his spiritual power felt as if it was being torn apart, his body trembled more violently, but at the same time, the surrounding Energy Elements became even more terrifying, madly rushing into his body.

The rock wall seemed to be trembling.

“What’s happening?”

Taman showed a hint of surprise, staring at Xu Mo up ahead.

Could it be that he truly deciphered the Mo Mountain Axe?

The shaking of the Mo Mountain rock wall grew more intense, with a rumbling sound, Xu Mo’s Spiritual Sea shook violently. Within his Spiritual Domain, it was as if a War Axe was imprinted there, merging with his spiritual power. Instantly, his Spiritual Sea roared, growing and becoming stronger.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Energy Elements rampaged, crazily pouring into his body, forming a terrifying storm.

Subsequently, Xu Mo’s physical body roared, emitting intense sounds, a terrifying pressure spread around, growing stronger, even Taman, strong as he was, felt a sense of power oppression at this moment.

The surrounding area seemed to form a Power Domain.

Some people from the Tyr Star Domain stepped forward, but Taman stopped them, not disturbing Xu Mo, letting him cultivate.

Augustus had a look of surprise in his eyes. Compared to Xu Mo, he was more aligned with Mo Mountain and more suited for cultivation here, but he didn’t expect Xu Mo to gain an opportunity here. This made Augustus reflect on how talent cannot be explained rationally.

Xu Mo’s transformation lasted for a full five days. The terrifying Elemental energy flowing into his body gradually weakened, and the roaring sound slowly ceased.

At this moment, Xu Mo opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed in his gaze, and in his pupils, it seemed as if an axe appeared for a moment, imprinted within his Spiritual Sea.

When Xu Mo released his hold, he felt that significant changes had taken place in his body. His spiritual power had grown stronger, and his body was full of strength, he even felt like his weight had increased.

He turned to look at Taman and Augustus and said, “The key to the Mo Mountain Axe is the axe intent. If one’s spiritual power can merge with the axe intent, the deeper the fusion, the stronger it becomes.”

Taman showed a pensive look in his eyes and then said, “The Imperial Family is skilled in spiritual capabilities; it seems everything is based on this.”

Now that Xu Mo has found a path, he planned to cultivate for another two months before setting out to leave.

The Desert Beast and the Mo Mountain Axe, Xu Mo and they had already gained two major opportunities, so there was no need to linger here.

“Thanks for the cultivation opportunity this time. I plan to explore other places,” Xu Mo said to Taman.

“Alright,” Taman nodded and said, “Perhaps we’ll meet again.”

“My friend Augustus will continue to stay here to cultivate, is that okay?” Xu Mo said to Taman.

“No problem, in two months, I’ll also leave, but if he wishes, he can stay here and cultivate until the Empire Trial Field ends,” Taman said, Xu Mo looked at Augustus, who nodded. Of course, he intended to stay here as this place was his chance.

Xu Mo and his party walked down from Mo Mountain; there were less than five months left until the Empire Trial Field concluded. Removing travel time, they might only have three or four months available for cultivation.

……

The Desert Beast, Mo Mountain Axe, Dome Cave Gold, Monument of the Milky Way, Canyon Sound, Speed of Light, Holy Land Gate.

The Desert Beast was in Zero’s hands, the Mo Mountain Axe had already been comprehended, the Dome Cave Gold should refer to defense type, Xu Mo and they went to search for the Dome Cave Gold.

In the Empire Trial Field, within the Dome Cave, here was a mine.

During the era of the Empire, members of the Imperial Family would come here for trials, taking the Dome Cave Gold to forge a set of personal equipment for themselves.

Within the Dome Cave, there were extremely formidable Monsters guarding it, but now they have been dealt with by the Transcendents of the Coriade Star Domain.

Currently, the Dome Cave is jointly occupied by the Transcendents of the Coriade Star Domain.

The Coriade Star Domain is vast and home to many advanced civilizations with highly developed technology. Many planets are advanced civilization stars. They differ from the Tyr Star Domain, where the Heavenly God Race dominates as the strongest among various races.

However, the Coriade Star Domain lacks a single strongest power. This time, several planets within the Coriade Star Domain have united. Without uniting, they couldn’t take the Dome Cave. The area around the Dome Cave also experienced a fierce slaughter, and in the end, several top forces of the Coriade Star Domain jointly occupy it.

The Gold of the Dome Cave holds high research value for their major planets and can be used to forge even stronger equipment.

At this moment, a few individuals are guarding the entrance of the Dome Cave, serving as lookouts.

At that time, a peculiar energy aura enveloped them, and the few individuals frowned, seemingly sensing something.

“Boom…” The next moment, several powerful spiritual forces directly invaded their minds. The overwhelming spiritual power, with an irresistible will, easily overcame the guards outside, who were merely sentries and not very strong. How could they resist the spiritual intrusion from Xu Mo and Zero in cooperation with the Ancient Beast?

Soon, Xu Mo extracted quite a bit of useful information from the adversary’s memories.

The Gold of the Dome Cave is a unique metal in the Universe, known as Source Gold. It can absorb energy and is exceptionally hard, suitable for Transcendents of any rank. The stronger the Transcendent, the greater the power it can unleash. Of course, Source Gold is not something ordinary Transcendents can use.

A small piece of Source Gold is worth a fortune. A set of Armor and attack weaponry made from Source Gold is extravagantly priced and practically unobtainable. Source Gold Mines in the Universe are extremely rare, and the Gold from the Dome Cave is precisely such a Source Gold deposit.

In that case, how could one not try to obtain some to make a set of Armor for oneself?

One of the guards outside could be seen walking away, as if uncontrollably moving to a place outside. Xu Mo’s spiritual attack directly stunned him, quickly swapping the other person’s equipment for his own, before heading towards the interior of the mines.

Then came the second, third, and fourth individuals.

A moment later, the people guarding the Dome Cave’s entrance became Xu Mo and his three companions.

He glanced inside the Dome Cave, where Transcendents from the Coriade Star Domain were mining. The Source Gold is extremely hard, and so are the walls of the Dome Cave, making mining Source Gold not an easy task.

Therefore, a large number of people are needed to simultaneously engage in mining.

The Transcendents of the Coriade Star Domain possess advanced equipment, and their Armor transforms into various blades and other tools, cutting the rocky insides of the Dome Cave in search of Source Gold.

The found Source Gold is transported to several different locations, each guarded by someone from a different power. After jointly seizing the Dome Cave, each faction mines independently, without interfering with one another.

Although there is some friction, they manage to restrain themselves, preventing an outbreak of conflict.

Having occupied the Dome Cave for a while, with no unforeseen events occurring outside, the few sentries weren’t being paid much attention, allowing Xu Mo to easily replace those people.

Given the strength of their four individuals, confronting so many people from the Coriade Star Domain is obviously unrealistic.

Thus, Xu Mo’s strategy this time is ‘theft’.

Of course, it can’t truly be called theft, as the Gold of the Dome Cave originally belongs to the Empire Trial Field and isn’t anyone’s private possession. The Transcendents of the Coriade Star Domain occupied this place through battle and slaughter, brazenly mining it.

If they manage to take Source Gold from here, it’s as if they earned it through their skills.

The mined Source Gold is heavily guarded by various forces. Aside from the guards, there are also specially assigned overseers to prevent any of them from stealing.

These overseers hold a high status, as Xu Mo learned from the memories he had obtained earlier.

The guards are also trusted core personnel.

As for the leading figures, they are directing the mining efforts.

“Prepare to create conflict,” Xu Mo communicated with Zero through spiritual power. Completely controlling the Transcendents presents a high risk of complications. However, if they provoke some conflict, it would become far simpler.

At the mining site, a Transcendent unearthed a piece of Source Gold. Suddenly, someone beside him launched an attack, seizing the Source Gold.

“What are you doing?” the person coldly scolded.

“Boom…” The opponent didn’t waste words and struck immediately, their battle erupting in an instant.

During the mining of Source Gold, the atmosphere was already tense, and everyone was cautious. In such an oppressive atmosphere, even the smallest spark can ignite a fire.

“Bastard.” Another person at a different location took action, beginning to seize Source Gold.

Soon, numerous Transcendents rushed towards the conflict area.

“Stop, all of you!” A leading figure of one faction, heading towards the conflict area, shouted loudly, attempting to regain control. Chaos is beneficial to no one.

The Transcendents guarding the Source Gold also glanced at that direction, their expressions growing more solemn and drawing closer, guarding the extracted Source Gold.

“Buzz…” At that moment, the Source Gold suddenly trembled and then abruptly flew up, heading towards the direction of another faction.
