From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos
Chapter 148: Kill
Somewhere on Mars, Jin Mola gazed at the enormous mineral vein before him.
The veins were a deep purple, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.
Furthermore, even with his strength at the Peak of the Law Realm, Jin Mola found it incredibly difficult to even make a dent in them!
This was Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone!
Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone was exceptionally precious. Previously, Li Yang had obtained Purple Essence Ore and other materials from the Relic Space on that island.
According to Soul Ink’s assessment, weapons forged from Purple Essence Ore were treasures that even experts in the Longevity Realm—a stage above the Law Realm—would fight over! It could even be easily exchanged for cultivation resources at the Longevity Realm level!
As for Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone, it was not actually as valuable as Purple Essence Ore. However, this wasn’t just a few pieces of it; it was a massive deposit!
A few chunks of Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone might tempt some at the Law Realm.
But the true value of this enormous Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone vein was enough to stir the heart of even a Star Lord!
A Star Lord, an expert of the Star Lord Realm, was a true top-tier powerhouse who roamed the Cosmos, with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years!
For Jin Mola, who was merely in the Law Realm, just how precious was a treasure capable of tempting even a Star Lord?
He wasn’t valued in his family, and his branch of the clan wasn’t powerful. Having failed to break through to the Longevity Realm, he had more or less given up. His greatest pastime was simply wandering around in his spacecraft.
And on one of these excursions, he had discovered the Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone on Mars and the Moon, and the sheer volume of the reserves was astounding!
’A Star Lord...’ Such a powerhouse was an unattainable existence for him, someone he could only look up to in awe!
The strongest expert in his branch of the family was only at the Peak of the Longevity Realm, not yet at the level of a Star Lord!
One could only imagine: if he obtained all these resources, he could exchange them for all sorts of cultivation materials. He might even have a chance to break through to the Longevity Realm in the future!
After the Spirit Awakening Realm, cultivation was all about comprehending Laws, and resources were no longer useful for breaking through bottlenecks.
However, with enough resources, the difficulty of breaking through to the next realm would certainly be much lower.
Why did so many people want to join major powers? Because major powers had more resources that could help them break through faster!
Amid his excitement, Jin Mola then discovered a life-bearing planet nearby—Earth!
According to the rules set by the Human Race Saint Hall, if there are no other life-bearing planets in the vicinity of one, then all resources in the surrounding area belong to that planet.
Jin Mola’s heart sank with disappointment, worried that there might be a top-tier expert on that planet.
But after a careful investigation, he found that the strongest individuals on Earth were only in the Spirit Awakening Realm, and there were very few of them. The entire planet was a Planet Zero—it had never made contact with other civilizations and was incredibly primitive.
This discovery made Jin Mola instantly ecstatic.
Because, as long as he dealt with Earth, the resources on Mars and the Moon would be all his! No one would know, and he could mine them at his leisure!
And so, Jin Mola began hunting the King Level experts on Earth!
Once these King Level experts were eliminated, the remaining ordinary people would be even easier to deal with.
For a powerhouse at the Peak of the Law Realm like him, dealing with such a primitive life-bearing planet should have been a piece of cake.
However, not long after he made his move, Shen Xuan appeared! And he too was in the Law Realm—in fact, he was even stronger than Jin Mola! It was only by relying on his various armored treasures that Shen Xuan couldn’t defeat him.
But by the same token, he couldn’t defeat Shen Xuan either.
More importantly, Shen Xuan could contact outside civilizations at any time.
This discovery made Jin Mola’s joy vanish in an instant.
If Shen Xuan contacted those civilizations, others would come to take over Earth. Regardless of Earth’s fate, the Purple Brilliance Crystal Stone on Mars and the Moon would have nothing to do with him.
However, Shen Xuan didn’t dare to make contact lightly. Jin Mola naturally guessed that Shen Xuan was hoping for a genius to emerge on Earth, so that when the planet was finally exposed, Planet Zero could become a free planet.
And so, a strange equilibrium formed between the two.
Shen Xuan tried to cultivate a genius on Earth who could break through to the Law Realm before the age of thirty, while Jin Mola slowly mined on Mars. This balance lasted for several decades.
’Heh, Shen Xuan, do you think the Law Realm is so easy to break into? You’re already an anomaly. Trying to cultivate another one in a barren environment like Earth is simply impossible.’
A smile touched the corners of Jin Mola’s lips.
He simply didn’t believe Shen Xuan could cultivate a genius.
Of course, he remained vigilant and would visit Earth every so often to check on the situation.
If a true genius were to appear, he would be sure to eliminate them beforehand.
However, no genius had appeared. He was aware that someone named Li Yang had recently emerged on Earth.
As for Li Yang, he paid him almost no mind.
The Mortal Realm, the Spirit Awakening Realm... these stages could be easily reached by piling on resources.
It could be said that even an ordinary person who stumbled upon a wealth of resources could easily reach the Peak of the Spirit Awakening Realm—the Peak of King Level!
In his eyes, Li Yang was undoubtedly just such a lucky person.
’As for Li Yang awakening a thunder ability and wanting to comprehend the Thunder Law to break through to the Law Realm?’
’If Li Yang really managed that in just a few months, he would be considered a top-tier genius even in my family. Is that even possible?’
If Li Yang had awakened a fire ability, like Shen Xuan, he might have been a bit more cautious.
But Li Yang had awakened thunder. With no one on Earth having ever comprehended the Thunder Law, the difficulty for him to do so was infinitely greater.
Gazing at the vast resources before him, a fiery glint flashed in Jin Mola’s eyes again.
’Shen Xuan, the crisis on Earth has escalated once again. Let’s see if you’ll contact the outside civilizations now. If you don’t, I’ll just keep cranking up the pressure!’
He had been gradually increasing the danger, piling more and more pressure on Shen Xuan. Faced with the potential extinction of life on Earth, he believed Shen Xuan would make the choice he was hoping for.
"Hm?"
Just as he was thinking, Jin Mola suddenly looked into the distance.
There, a spacecraft flew over, and a figure emerged from within.
"Shen Xuan?"
Seeing the figure, Jin Mola narrowed his eyes.
He knew Shen Xuan had a spacecraft, and its speed was in no way inferior to his own.
Shen Xuan had even hunted him down in past battles, leaving him in a pathetic state. Now, however, with the resources he had on him, he wasn’t afraid of Shen Xuan at all.
"Shen Xuan, what are you doing on Mars?" Jin Mola asked coolly.
Shen Xuan wasted no words. His face was ice-cold as his figure erupted with power, flying directly toward Jin Mola. "To kill you!"
"Haha, kill me?"
Hearing this, Jin Mola burst out laughing. "You said that decades ago! You didn’t have a chance back then, and you have even less of a chance now!"
BOOM!
Mystic patterns flowed across his armor, dense and intricate as a spider’s web.
This armor was clearly a very precious treasure.
