Chapter 1057: Chapter 116: Startled Awake
Augustus stood by the stone pillar, his gaze sweeping below. Many were watching this place, making Lin Jia not too conspicuous. There were too many people, all with fierce eyes.
Although he arrived late, seeing such a situation, Augustus also understood that for Xu Mo to secure this place, he must have gone through a fierce battle; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this calm now. Below, there were over a thousand Transcendents, including top figures.
In the past three years, he had improved greatly, but Xu Mo had evidently improved even more. Now, Xu Mo’s Combat Power should be at the pinnacle of desperation and unquestionably a top figure across the ten Mystic God Temples.
If he could gain more strength here, then below the level of Skywalker, Xu Mo would be nearly invincible, even on par with the strongest individuals across various Star Domains.
Augustus had t the Heavenly God Race’s Taman, and even though he trained on Mo Mountain for a long ti, everything he achieved, Taman likely accomplished as well. Augustus was certain he wouldn’t be Taman’s match.
Taman’s re presence gave him intense pressure. He still had a long road ahead of him.
While Augustus was contemplating, Lin Jia below was already active amongst the crowd, engaging in conversations, seeking out other top Transcendents, and discussing the possibility of alliances.
After all, it wasn’t just him without a position; within the Lin Family and other Star Domains, there were very formidable Transcendents also sidelined without a place.
Previously, many had tried forming alliances.
Unaware of all this, Xu Mo, imrsed in cultivation, had his entire consciousness focused on that Ancient Book, thus unable to perceive the outside world unless disturbed out of this state by soone.
Xu Mo’s consciousness moved towards the Ancient Book, feeling as insignificant as an ant before it, a re speck in the vast universe.
The Ancient Book seed open with many pages, each harboring a different aura. As the book rotated and turned pages, Xu Mo wished to delve inside but had no way in; each attempt led to the book flipping, making it not easy to invade and thus difficult to explore its contents.
Xu Mo unleashed his powerful spiritual power, fully focusing it and imrsing himself, striving to glimpse a corner of the Ancient Book.
“There’s no point to start,” a thought erged in Xu Mo’s mind, yet he did not give up, looking for an opportunity, releasing spiritual power to the max, capturing every possible chance.
Entering a state of oblivion, not impatient, suddenly a familiar aura emanated from the turning book. Xu Mo’s spiritual power instantly invaded, pursuing that wisp of aura. It was the first ti he locked onto the Ancient Book’s aura; naturally, he didn’t let it go.
Following Xu Mo’s spiritual pursuit, he finally glimpsed a corner of the book’s imagery.
In that corner, it seed like a world of lightning, harboring a chilling aura.
This aura made him feel extrely apprehensive, even faintly wanting to withdraw, yet having finally seized such a wisp of opportunity, Xu Mo could not easily relinquish it.
He concentrated his spiritual power entirely on a point, chasing the elusive image, seeing more and more, while the chilling aura grew stronger, making him shiver.
It was an extrely frightening scene; in the vast cosmos, beams of lightning pierced through the cosmic sky, like a light dividing the universe.
“What treasure is this Ancient Book?”
Xu Mo’s heart trembled imnsely, the Ancient Book amazingly possessed such terrifying imagery. He, having trained in the Mystic God Temple’s Virtual Trial Ground and faced many top Skywalkers’ pressure, could not compare to this; it was beyond comparison.
Xu Mo’s spiritual power entered the image, seeming to tremble, as if a mont’s carelessness here would lead to his vanishing without a trace.
Furthermore, everything here was perceived through spiritual power, practiced by the Empire’s Old Royal Family in spiritual training.
All of this should be the handiwork of the Old Royal Family, but what level of existence placed an Ancient Book within the Empire Trial Field’s Holy Land Gate?
Though having barely glimpsed a corner, Xu Mo faintly sensed that this Ancient Book was undoubtedly a top treasure, far surpassing the absolute level, likely capable of causing a bloody storm outside.
Nevertheless, it was placed within the Empire Trial Field’s Holy Land Gate, likely awaiting future generations to co and comprehend it.
……
Outside, as Xu Mo cultivated, many Transcendents below had already taken action.
Lin Jia moved forward, reaching a position, with several others moving simultaneously at different locations.
However, these people, mingling in the crowd, remained inconspicuous.
Lin Jia and another person ascended; he was also a Lin Family Transcendent nad Lin Kai, a leading figure from another branch of the Lin Family.
The Empire’s Old Royal Family Lin Family was a super family with many factions and nurous branches.
Lin Jia and Lin Kai were among the stronger ones, yet neither had secured a place.
Thus, Lin Jia imdiately found Lin Kai.
However, they deed this still inadequate for safety, so they found two more people, Transcendents from Saint Tiya Star, with whom they weren’t so amicable.
There were not many this ti, only four people, with two from each side.
This ti, they needed quality, not quantity.
Four top figures were enough.
Moreover, they could also be better allocated, taking turns to cultivate, with two people at a ti.
Four people would not be conspicuous, yet could achieve a one-hit kill.
Lin Jia and Lin Kai soared into the sky, their gaze sweeping across the surrounding energy stone pillars, drawing the attention of many.
These two were Transcendents of the Old Imperial Family’s Lin, with extraordinary combat power. It seed they had ford an alliance, and thus, many people were keeping an eye on them.
Augustus also noticed Lin Jia and Lin Kai. He frowned slightly, a sense of vigilance involuntarily arising in his heart, as if he had sensed sothing. His subconscious perceived a threat, perhaps being targeted.
The Transcendent’s intuition turned out to be quite accurate. Lin Jia and Lin Kai had already released their spiritual power, indeed targeting Augustus.
Detecting a trace of abnormal aura, Augustus prepared himself. If anyone made a move on him, he would instantly unleash the Gravity Domain.
“Boom…”
In an instant, Lin Jia and Lin Kai abruptly turned and charged at Augustus, their spiritual power erupting, invading Augustus’s mind.
Almost simultaneously, Augustus released the Gravity Domain, much more powerful now than three years ago.
At the mont the Gravity Domain was released, Lin Jia and Lin Kai felt a terrifying gravity, as if bearing a mountain, extrely heavy.
“Kill.”
A cold voice echoed in Augustus’s mind, filled with a murderous intent.
At the mont Lin Jia and Lin Kai made their move, in another direction, two other figures also soared into the sky.
“Buzz…”
Their bodies transford into two beams of light, reaching extre speed, heading straight for Xu Mo and Zero on top of the stone pillar.
These two were the top-tier Transcendents from Saint Tiya Star. They had cooperated with the Lin Family and Lin Kai, with distinct roles, to assassinate Xu Mo and Zero.
Lin Jia and Lin Kai were responsible for dealing with Augustus. To ensure success, both acted simultaneously, aiming for a swift resolution.
anwhile, relying on terrifying speed, the other two sought to instantly kill Xu Mo and Zero, to occupy the energy stone pillar.
Augustus’s spiritual power was under attack, his body seemingly unresponsive, tense throughout. With an assault from four top-tier Transcendents, he was acutely aware of the precarious situation he faced. A single misstep ant death.
Not only he, but Xu Mo and Zero were also in danger.
Many below witnessed this sudden attack and were stirred, recognizing it was Lin Jia.
Four mighty individuals joining forces, launching a fatal strike, aiming to eliminate threats, such ruthless ans.
Moreover, with the combined strength of the four top-tier Transcendents, even if this assault failed, they would still stand a fighting chance.
Augustus remained tense, he bit his lip hard, regaining a sliver of consciousness.
“Boom…” The Gravity Domain erupted to its limit, its terrifying power pressing upon the surrounding area, affecting the speed of the four Transcendents, while also pressing down on Xu Mo and Zero.
“Xu Mo!”
Augustus shouted, his body moved. He didn’t concern himself with Lin Jia and Lin Kai head-on but charged towards another direction. The two Transcendents from Saint Tiya Star moved with terrifying speed; even under the gravity domain’s pressure, they rapidly shot towards Xu Mo and Zero, each wielding a spear, thrusting fiercely.
“Boom!”
Augustus blocked directly in front, both fists punching out, the violent force pressing against the space, stirring a storm of destructive power, colliding with the spears that ca to kill.
A sharp hissing sounded, energy light exploded out; the sharp spear pierced Augustus’s fist, tearing through the glove and stabbing forward. However, that violent force also repelled the bodies of the two attackers.
On the other side, Lin Jia and Lin Kai arrived too. Seeing Augustus blocking another front, they directly attacked Xu Mo and Zero.
Lin Jia charged towards Xu Mo, Lin Kai attacked Zero, their spiritual power erupted instantly, attacking Xu Mo and Zero with incredible speed.
“Boom…”
Suddenly, a small hand stretched out, a strong spiritual power barrier causing the two to slow down, they looked in shock at the little creature on Zero.
It was the Ancient Beast’s right hand slowly extending, a terrifying spiritual power burst forth, forcibly slowing them down.
Xu Mo and Zero were right in front of them, about to be hit, but were blocked by a beast pet. Moreover, this beast pet was the Ancient Beast Lin Jia previously tried to seize. This made Lin Jia’s expression extrely unpleasant. Both unleashed their spiritual power fiercely, continuing forward.
However, at this mont, two more spiritual powers erupted, a storm of violent spiritual force swept out. In front of Lin Jia and Lin Kai, the ditating Xu Mo and Zero simultaneously opened their eyes.
They were startled awake by the assassination attempt.
