The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1184: Chapter 230: Public Announcement

The peak combat power of the Rodrigo family erupted, and everyone around could distinctly sense the terrifying might of it.

As his body advanced, waves of energy surged forward, layer upon layer, becoming increasingly strong. It forcibly shattered Xu Mo’s spiritual domain barrier, carrying terrifying power that struck Xu Mo’s body.

Though the two were separated by some distance, the impact of the energy waves was like a monstrous tide, akin to a heavy hammer pounding a drum, threatening to shatter his body.

“Boom!”

The sky was filled with converging thunderous light, within the Divine Domain, countless flying swords swept out, transforming into a horrifying destruction storm, obliterating everything, aiming for Rodrigo.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo transformed into the Thunder God of War, bathing in destructive lightning. Within his domain, energy gathered on his body, his palm stretched out, and a ruinous war saber appeared, gripped in his hand.

“Chic chic…” Rodrigo leaned forward, the big spear swung, with his body at the center, a terrifying storm emerged. In front of the big spear, a vortex appeared, resembling a black hole, everything around it crumbled to pieces.

The celestial sword array was torn apart, revealing a whirlpool fissure, Rodrigo advanced within it, like a true light of destruction, unstoppable, even under immense pressure, he was determined to kill Xu Mo.

This strike was the desolation of the wilderness, everything set to shatter under this spear.

At the moment Rodrigo struck, Xu Mo felt the overwhelming power of this spear, a strike carrying Rodrigo’s full might intending to fatally kill him, Xu Mo’s towering killing intent focused on this strike, to kill him here.

Xu Mo was seeking death, so he would fulfill him.

Xu Mo could avoid this strike; within his Divine Domain, relying on his powerful movement technique, he was fully capable of not facing the strike head-on.

However, Xu Mo did not avoid.

During cultivation in the Abyss, Lin Shou once told him that under the Divine Domain, he was the king, he was the absolute master of this domain, anyone entering the Divine Domain needed to have the courage and determination to kill the opponent.

Although Lin Shou spoke so because he saw Xu Mo as the heir of the Empire’s Emperor, it was also the powerful confidence of those skilled in the Divine Domain.

Therefore, Xu Mo did not avoid.

At the moment Rodrigo struck, shadows appeared, and in the next moment, Xu Mo wielded his saber, countless saber lights simultaneously bloomed, then merged into one, becoming a single blade.

This blade seemed to contain the power of the Divine Domain, capable of crushing everything, yet with extreme sharpness, cutting through space.

Both of them acted instantaneously, only seeing two rays of light intersecting on the battlefield, colliding.

The spear that shattered the void and the saber that annihilated the void, these two beams of light simultaneously attacked each other; at this moment, the intense light stung eyes, the space was submerged, completely invisible, only terrifying energy waves swept outward, affecting the entire Rodrigo family.

Within the battlefield, the bodies of both retreated again.

Xu Mo groaned, feeling like his internal organs were shattered, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood in midair, his body violently shaking.

The spear almost killed him on the spot, but fortunately, Xu Mo’s own defense was also incredibly strong.

Rodrigo’s body was similarly shot flying, only to hear him scream miserably, bloodied all over, yet the scream was not due to physical injuries, but because his spiritual power suffered severe damage. When that blade erupted, his mind, already under great pressure, saw a flash of saber light slashing directly in his brain domain, almost causing him to collapse.

“Buzz…” Before he could regain his senses, the celestial phenomena erupted again, countless flying swords descended in a slaughter, Rodrigo roared, waving his big spear, simultaneously a figure appeared directly in his mind.

“Rodrigo, today, you will die disgraced.” A voice sounded directly in his mind, followed by a terrifying attack invading, meanwhile, the pressure from the Divine Domain was still present. Even Rodrigo at full strength felt suppressed; let alone now, with injuries inflicted.

Though Xu Mo was also injured, his spiritual power remained intact, still at full strength.

He removed his Battle Armor, worried Rodrigo’s Battle Armor would shield him from spiritual power.

“Boom…”

Within the Divine Domain, lightning flashed, Xu Mo’s body merged with Lightning, arriving in an instant.

The saber strike was still the Godslayer Blade.

Rodrigo roared, holding the big spear to block, but when the saber light descended, it again slashed into his mind. With a burst explosion noise, his body was forced backward under saber pressure.

“Buzz.” Xu Mo’s body flickered like a shadow, Thunder Shadow Thousand Layers, body like thunder shadow, arriving in an instant, unleashing a saber strike.

On the battlefield, within the Divine Domain, the crowd watched in shock as the saber light flashed continuously, Rodrigo retreated again and again, letting out a furious roar, but to no avail.

Xu Mo suppressed Rodrigo.

The spectators experienced an unparalleled shock at this scene, especially the Skywalkers from the Mystic God Temple.

They were very familiar with Xu Mo, knowing he had barely been a Skywalker for several years, having been exceptionally placed at the bottom of the Mystic God Ranking upon entry.

Yet, in just a few years, he actually suppressed Rodrigo, who ranked third on the Mystic God Ranking.

The outcome of this battle was completely different from what they imagined.

Even if Rodrigo could not instantly kill Xu Mo, he should have overwhelmed Xu Mo, right?

Vera should be the one who best understood Rodrigo’s feelings; she had sparred and fought with Xu Mo for many days, knowing Xu Mo’s powerful domain possessed exceptionally strong suppressive force.

However, earlier Xu Mo told her he comprehended a sword technique but hadn’t used it against her in a real battle.

So, is it this sword technique now?

This sword technique is not only fast but also extremely domineering, containing terrifying power, yet seemingly not enough to suppress Rodrigo so miserably?

Rodrigo’s big spear was also noted for its dominance, exceedingly destructive in its attacks, building momentum like monstrous waves, growing stronger with battle.

But why was he suppressed by Xu Mo so tragically?

Moreover, Rodrigo seemed to be in great pain, so did the true power of this saber escape her understanding?

Vera O’Brien indeed could not fathom Rodrigo’s feeling, the Godslayer Blade’s true threat was to slay the deity; naturally, for ordinary Skywalkers, even without slaying deities, the saber’s power was enough to kill opponents, but facing an opponent of Rodrigo’s caliber, slaying the deity became the vendetta.

Within the Divine Domain, Rodrigo’s spiritual power was already under tremendous oppression. At this time, every slash from Xu Mo was a godslayer. Under the dual attack, one can imagine the situation Rodrigo was facing. His ability had always been to grow stronger the more he fought.

But this time was different; his spiritual power kept getting wounded, and his momentum weakened more and more.

If this continues, he will die sooner or later.

Another slash came down, and Rodrigo’s will almost collapsed. He was fighting purely on a breath of resolve.

As the light of the saber slashed down, his body was shocked back by a terrifying force, and his mind was once again traumatized.

At this moment, Rodrigo thought of how he killed Wu Lai and Asaka, the two from Chloe Star’s Mystic God Temple, whom he did not take seriously at all, so he dared to kill them casually.

When the two died, they were also extremely aggrieved and despairing.

But today, it seemed like his turn had come.

Ranked third on the Mystic God Ranking, suppressed by Xu Mo, if he died today at the hands of Xu Mo, his death would still be desecrated, which would be too humiliating.

At this thought, Rodrigo let out a cry filled with grief and indignation, gathering terrifying power, and swept out with his Big Spear.

Xu Mo still did not evade, his eyes fixed on him, the light of the saber flashed, and splat… Rodrigo still couldn’t repel Xu Mo, plunging him into despair.

Would he die here today?

Rodrigo’s father was watching the battlefield over there. Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for Rodrigo, his expression changed and became extremely unpleasant.

He knew Rodrigo’s combat power. Was he truly going to be defeated?

After a moment, Rodrigo seemed unable to hold on any longer, teetering, the power of the Big Spear in his hand becoming stronger and giving him the sensation of impending collapse; his will was close to breaking.

“Elder Olmer, Rodrigo’s defeated, can we have him stop now?” said Rodrigo’s father.

Elder Olmer looked at him but did not respond.

Even he was pleasantly surprised by Xu Mo’s combat power. No wonder the Hall Master favored him greatly.

The Mystic God Temple seems to have produced a super genius.

“Splat…”

On the battlefield, the light of the saber flashed, and Rodrigo let out a miserable scream, his will collapsing, a trail of blood appearing on his body, and the Big Spear in his hand drooped down, utterly defeated.

“Enough,” Rodrigo’s father shouted, stepping forward, ready to intervene.

“Boom…” Elder Olmer and the Mystic God Temple Elders simultaneously released a powerful pressure, an explosion of terrifying energy aura pressing towards the opponent, and their figures blocked the way.

“Elder Olmer, there’s no evidence. Even the Mystic God Temple cannot act with impunity, right?” Rodrigo’s father coldly stared at Olmer.

“Xu Mo stated that if Rodrigo didn’t do it, he would pay with his life,” Olmer coldly responded and then turned to the battlefield where the outcome was decided, looking at Rodrigo: “Rodrigo, did you kill Wu Lai and Asaka?”

Xu Mo halted his attack on Rodrigo, who was already on the verge of collapse, and he looked at Olmer: “No.”

He knew, if he admitted it, he would surely die.

If he did not admit it, there was still a chance at survival.

No matter how humiliating it was right now, he wanted to live.

To live, so he could seek revenge.

“Rodrigo, you didn’t spare even a child, yet you don’t even dare to admit it. But even if you don’t admit it, it’s meaningless now,” Xu Mo looked at him and said.

“Rodrigo, Xu Mo is willing to stake his life, and if he’s wrong, he’ll pay with his life. So, I will take you to the Mystic God Temple and search your memory. Therefore, if you did it, even if you don’t admit it, it’s useless,” Olmer said.

Upon hearing Olmer’s words, Rodrigo first showed a look of shock, then laughed sarcastically, and even his body trembled slightly.

For Xu Mo, the Mystic God Temple was willing to go to such lengths?

“Why?” Rodrigo’s voice was hoarse, and he addressed Olmer: “I am also a cultivator of the Mystic God Temple. Why is this happening? Xu Mo has been in the Abyss for three years and might even betray the Mystic God Temple, so why does the Mystic God Temple treat me like this?”

He didn’t understand; he was third on the Mystic God Ranking.

“You should have thought of this when you killed,” Olmer said, “Xu Mo is willing to let us check his memory, confirming it was you who killed them.”

“Memories can be fabricated,” Rodrigo’s father said. “The Mystic God Temple is too deceitful today. What if I refuse to let the Mystic God Temple take him away?”

“Roman, don’t court disaster.”

Just then, a voice seemed to come from nowhere, and Roman’s heart trembled. Then he heard the voice continue to speak: “Cultivating within the Mystic God Temple, betraying the Mystic God Temple, slaughtering fellow cultivators of the Mystic God Temple, no one can save him. If you obstruct, I will assume your family is conspiring together.”

“The Hall Master.”

Rodrigo looked up into the sky, and his body trembled slightly.

Was the Hall Master of the Mystic God Temple stepping forward for Xu Mo?

At this moment, Rodrigo finally realized he was done for.

The cultivators of the Mystic God Temple were equally shocked. Did the Hall Master personally come for this matter?

“Why,” Rodrigo growled in a low voice.

He still refused to accept it.

“Additionally, I announce one thing.” At this time, the voice from the sky sounded again and said: “Xu Mo is the ‘First Sequence’ cultivator for the Mystic God Temple, and the heir elective of the Mystic God Temple.”
