Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme Chapter 1525 - 1361: How Could This Happen

As he entered the sea, Lin Mo's face slightly furrowed, only now realizing that the seawater possessed a corrosive ability, constantly eroding the True Essence Shield surrounding his body. Fortunately, the corrosion wasn't severe, but if he remained in the sea for too long, it would consu a great deal of True Yuan to maintain the shield.

"This could be a good way to practice the Elental Control Technique!"

In his last battle with Teng Yi, Lin Mo found that his opponent had a much stronger ability to control True Yuan, which allowed Teng Yi to unleash 120% of its power, whereas Lin Mo could only harness 80% of the sa True Yuan's might.

Though not as critical as Martial Arts or Cultivation Techniques to martial artists, mastering the Elental Control Technique could undeniably elevate one's strength by a significant degree.

In the pitch-black sea, Lin Mo moved like a streak of flowing light, slicing through the water and leaving a long trail of white steam behind as he quickly dove toward the seabed.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Mo encountered nurous bizarre oceanic beasts but found no treasures, except perhaps the Water Elent Beast Pills from these creatures. Upon absorption, they made the 'Water Quality Principle' within his Divine Sea beco much more condensed.

Of course, this change was extrely subtle and might go unnoticed without careful observation. The Laws rely on a cultivator's comprehension, and external forces have only a minor effect on enhancing the Power of Laws.

Poof!

In the dark Divine Sea, an Ink Sea Snake hidden deep within the sargassum suddenly opened its eyes. Its pair of erald-green pupils exuded a vicious gleam, and like a streak of flowing light, it darted towards a moving figure, opening its mouth to reveal two sharp fangs.

"A High-level Galaxy Level Barbaric Beast, the Ink Sea Snake."

Lin Mo's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold gleam. During the month's cultivation in the deep sea, he had learned a lot about these sea beasts. The Ink Sea Snake's attacks were mysterious and poisonous, adept at concealing its presence. If it didn't attack proactively, even Lin Mo would have trouble detecting it.

The Black Sea Snake charged at Lin Mo like a dark arrow, gurgling green liquid from its opened jaws, instantly dyeing the surrounding seawater an inky green.

This inky green liquid was highly corrosive; upon contact with the True Essence Shield, it emitted a sizzling sound, beginning to erode the shield.

"Beast!" Lin Mo's sword eyebrows furrowed, and his index finger swept a frigid True Yuan, piercing the head of the Black Sea Snake. Instantly, an extre chill spread throughout its body, freezing it inch by inch into ice crystals while still in its attack stance.

Crunch...

The frozen body of the Black Sea Snake developed a fine crack, producing a crunching sound before fragnting into shattered ice, sinking to the seabed.

"Hmm?"

As the Black Sea Snake died, a swaying cluster of purple sargassum below caught Lin Mo's attention. Beneath the swaying algae, a sharp stone was faintly concealed.

Gathering imnse True Yuan in his palm, he cut through the water like a blade, instantly slicing through the seaweed. What revealed itself before Lin Mo's eyes made him widen them in surprise—a heap of ruined architectural debris lay beneath the algae-like plants.

Collapsed columns, broken steles, and so damaged structures suggested what once looked like a loft. The ruination spanned several hundred kiloters, forming what appeared to be a small town.

Surprised, Lin Mo descended towards it, furrowing his brow, "Could this area have once been land, now subrged by seawater due to so crustal movent?"

Furthermore, from the ruins, it seed that humans had once lived here.

Surveying the ruins below, Lin Mo soon arrived before a broken stele. The upper part was completely missing, leaving a remnant about a dozen ters high, etched with ancient scripts unlike those used by the Dayan Dynasty and Mystic Realm Sect Cultivators. They appeared to be the writings of another civilization.

"Could the cultivators here have not been from the Canglan Star Domain?"

Lin Mo's hand slowly caressed the stele, which instantly crumbled into dust and dispersed into the endless sea, revealing a black iron box beneath. Witnessing this, Lin Mo's eye corner twitched suddenly.

Might this be a treasure!

"Rise!"

Imdiately, Lin Mo extended both hands, which emitted a gleaming white light, transforming into two giant hands that enveloped the black iron box buried in the ruins, and with a powerful move, pulled it out.

The black iron box was long, not very large, and covered in rusty spots.

"What kind of treasure would be stored in an ordinary iron box?" Lin Mo looked at the iron box before him, slightly frowning, with a tinge of doubt in his gaze.

Logic dictates that the more precious the treasure, the better it should be housed in jade cases made of fine iron, and above all, stored in a Space Ring, not packed like an ordinary person's belongings.

This doubt faded when Lin Mo realized sothing remarkable monts later.

The black iron box emitted an extraordinary energy fluctuation, capable of blocking the spiritual power from probing its contents.

"No wonder, not even spiritual power can detect it. With treasures inside, no one would know about it," Lin Mo murmured, suddenly understanding perhaps the owner stored the treasure in the black iron box, kept it in a Space Ring, and when the ring was destroyed, its contents were exposed.

"Break!"

Joining his middle and index fingers, he drew extrely sharp True Yuan at the fingertips, slicing gently across the surface of the black iron box. Then unexpectedly, a purple glow erged, and the True Yuan could not break through.

"Eh... How could this happen?"

This situation was beyond Lin Mo's expectations. The black iron box seed destructible at will, but the purple light on its surface was impenetrable.

"Xuanyuan Sword!"

After so hesitation, Lin Mo wrapped the black iron box with True Yuan, then unsheathed the Xuanyuan Sword from his back with Zhuo Lingxuan. The sword light glead with sharp brilliance, striking fiercely at the black iron box.

The box's surface revealed a layer of purple patterns, wrapping the box like a Protective Shield. The power within the sword light was completely blocked by the purple light, gradually dissipating.

"How can this be, the Xuanyuan Sword is a Galaxy-level dium Treasure, yet it can't break this rusty black iron box."

For a mont, Lin Mo's sword eyebrows knitted tightly, revealing intense doubt. As he concentrated on the iron box's surface, his eyes showed a deeply restrained brilliance.
