The Seventh Base

Chapter 1168: Chapter 214: Gaia—Life or Death?

Xu Mo indeed encountered danger.

After Gaia’s rampage, the Skywalkers surrounding them grew increasingly powerful.

Among them, there was a Red-clothed Archbishop, a peak-level Skywalker from the Kales Empire, several top figures from the Odyssey Star Domain, and many Skywalkers from various cosmic forces.

Xu Mo was hit by a strike when a peak-level Skywalker from Saint Tiya Star tore through the speed of the Spiritual Domain as Gaia controlled the surrounding area with it.

A strike from the peak-level Skywalker, if not for Xu Mo’s ‘First Sequence’ Battle Armor, would have likely killed him on the spot; the opponent’s Combat Power was comparable to the first on the Mystic God Ranking, Anos.

Zero immediately rushed to Xu Mo’s side, staring at the opponent, but then more Skywalkers surrounded them, and Gaia said: “You come back.”

Xu Mo turned to look, and then the two of them retreated to Gaia’s side.

“Go down, leave the battlefield, I will clear the way for you,” Gaia said to the two of them, “You are still young. In a few years, after experiencing battles of this caliber, you will no longer be afraid.”

In this battle, Gaia had roughly understood Xu Mo and Zero’s Combat Power. They both hadn’t been Skywalkers for long and were in the early stages, but with their armor amplification, their actual Combat Power reached high-level Skywalker status, and their spiritual attacks were also nearing high-level standards.

However, the surrounding people were the top Skywalkers from various cosmic forces, who had stepped into Skywalker status years ago. For Xu Mo and Zero to fight them now was still too demanding; past slaughter was only possible with assistance.

Yet, given a few more years, if Xu Mo and Zero reached high-level Skywalker standards, they would basically fear no Skywalkers, thanks to their formidable spiritual strength.

“Go now,” Gaia said.

In the end, Xu Mo said nothing, descending as Gaia’s powerful spiritual strength protected their path; anyone who intended to attack was covered by Gaia’s spiritual strength.

Below, a path emerged, but when someone wanted to surround them, a silhouette appeared with someone shouting, “You dare to try acting.”

It was another Hall Master from the Mystic God Temple who came to meet the two below.

The Skywalkers who intended to surround them frowned but ultimately did nothing; their main target was still Gaia, and Xu Mo was not that important—the ones who most wanted Xu Mo dead were still the Church forces.

Xu Mo and the Hall Master from the Mystic God Temple descended together, as did Taros Temple Master.

Previously, they rescued those children and were there to protect Xu Mo and Zero, but they could not meddle in Gaia’s battle.

After all, Gaia was currently associated with the Abyss; if the Mystic God Temple got involved, the trouble would be immense.

“Hall Master,” Xu Mo called out.

“Hmm.” Taros Temple Master looked solemnly towards the sky battle and said, “Gaia is in trouble; their first option is to take him away, but if not, they may hit hard.”

Xu Mo frowned, though his contact with Gaia was brief, he still admired him.

Moreover, from the current situation, Gaia’s attitude towards Zero was kind-hearted; he likely had insight into Zero’s identity.

Therefore, Xu Mo hoped nothing would happen to Gaia; he had many questions he needed Gaia to answer.

For instance, Zero’s identity question.

However, in a battle of this caliber, he was powerless to partake and could only watch.

Above, many Skywalkers simultaneously attacked, surrounding Gaia.

“Gaia’s spiritual power seems to have reached the pinnacle of the Skywalker realm; the Combat Power unleashed by it is no less than Satan’s, but it’s a pity he hasn’t broken through to a qualitatively transformative level,” Taros Temple Master noted.

Taros could naturally perceive the immense strength of Gaia’s spiritual power.

After hundreds of years of cultivation, Gaia’s spiritual power had reached its limit, but unfortunately, he hadn’t taken that last step. If he did, these people wouldn’t even pose a threat.

With a mere thought, he could erase them, showcasing the terrifying nature of peak spiritual power Cultivators.

When Xu Mo faced Skywalkers of similar strength, he could often instantaneously eliminate them using just his spiritual power.

“Without taking that step, no matter how strong the spiritual power, it still has its limits,” another Hall Master beside him said.

The various forces’ previous plan was to find Gaia first and bring him back.

But now, with Gaia linked to the Abyss Corps, any force wanting to take Gaia away faced greatly increased difficulty.

Thus, annihilation became an option.

If they couldn’t use him, then his death would ensure he isn’t handed over to the Abyss.

The Combat Power above grew more violent, with the area widely affected; the vast region was engulfed by terrifying Energy Storms, and non-Skywalkers couldn’t survive in the area.

Gaia, with his formidable abilities, managed to eliminate two top-tier Skywalkers but was also severely injured in the process.

“Mr. Gaia, there’s no need for this. If you come with us, everyone will stop immediately,” the voice of a Church Elder sounded from high above.

To take Gaia away required Gaia to agree first.

If he was willing to leave, then Lin Shou couldn’t logically prevent anyone from staying, could he?

However, hearing this, Lin Shou just sneered silently.

Leave?

Go where?

Gaia will always belong to the Abyss.

Gaia didn’t respond, still in battle; another person was struck down by him, and it was someone from the Church.

“It seems your Church has angered both man and gods alike,” Lin Shou sneered, “We’ve both suffered losses, and since Mr. Gaia doesn’t want to leave, you should stop too.”

“Hmph.”

The Church Elder snorted coldly, “Since Mr. Gaia has chosen to aid the wicked, we need not be courteous to you.”

Clearly, he resolved to kill.

Lin Shou furrowed his brow.

At that moment, below, Gaia was hit hard and inflicted with severe injuries.

“Boom…” An overwhelming aura from Lin Shou pressed downward, but others released strong auras, staring at him and saying, “Lin Shou, don’t forget you agreed not to intervene in the ground battle.”

“Insolence.”

Lin Shou let out a cold shout, and a terrifying aura spread, making several top figures around him feel as if facing a formidable enemy. But given the many against one situation, they were not afraid, just worried that this guy might go mad.

Below, Gaia, already wounded, was struck again, suffering severe injuries and in extreme danger.

“Buzz.”

At this moment, a beam of light burst forth in the sky as a giant figure made a move and instantly vanished from the spot.

“Presumptuous!”

“How dare you!”

Voices of angry shouts rang out as everyone realized what the opponent intended to do. A huge handprint descended from above, reaching straight for Gaia’s body.

However, almost simultaneously, a scepter pierced through Gaia’s body with a boom… His body suddenly exploded and gradually became blurred, transforming into light specks that vanished.

“Scram!”

An angry roar spread, and above, an incredibly terrifying collision erupted. In an instant, blinding light engulfed the vast space, the dreadful pressure causing the Skywalkers below to tremble.

“You bastard!”

A Church Elder roared angrily, the person who acted was a giant figure from Saint Tiya Star.

Lin Shou lowered his head and glanced at Gaia’s disappearing figure, coldly speaking, “Are you satisfied now?”

The pressure on his body covered the limitless space, like extreme rage.

Xu Mo raised his head to look at the vanished figure above.

Gaia, is he really dead?

A deathly silence followed as the battle below halted, and everyone stopped fighting.

The giant figure from Saint Tiya Star looked below and then spoke, “Withdraw.”

As the words fell, the Skywalkers from Saint Tiya Star retreated with him towards the sky.

The Church Elder stared below with an unwilling look. He glanced at the Archbishop who killed Gaia and said, “Let’s go.”

Subsequently, the Church’s people also retreated.

A terrifying battle seemed to end with Gaia’s death.

Various forces withdrew one by one, Lin Shou staring at the departing figures with a fierce eruption of killing intent.

“What happened?” The Church Elder asked the Archbishop.

“I didn’t expect Gaia to be exhausted. I thought that strike wouldn’t kill him,” the Archbishop frowned.

The Church Elder stopped in his tracks.

At the same time, in another direction, the giant figure from Saint Tiya who acted also halted.

Lin Shou, is this it?

At that moment he acted, seeing Gaia about to be captured, Gaia was killed suddenly.

A deception!

“You guys go first.” With that, he returned.

The same scene unfolded for the Church and other forces.

Quickly, giants from all sides returned.

A sky-rending pressure descended, and this time, not Skywalkers entering the battlefield, but those giants directly imposed pressure below, making Skywalkers retreat.

At school, everyone felt that terrifying aura.

At this time, Xu Mo still felt somewhat unreal, and the giants returned.

People from the Mystic God Temple had not left yet.

Lin Shou stood below, staring at the figures above, said, “What, still want a fight?”

“Where is Gaia?” The Church Elder asked.

Lin Shou frowned.

“That wasn’t Gaia earlier, or rather, not Gaia himself. Lin Shou, do you want to deceive the world?” The Church Elder’s voice was cold.

Xu Mo’s heart instantly stirred, like grasping something.

Right, Turing confessed his identity.

But is it necessarily true?

Moreover, Gaia is someone close to the Emperor of the Empire, adept at spiritual power. He can use spiritual power to control Moluo.

Can Gaia also use a substitute?

“You watched Gaia die, Lin Shou, this is not your character.” Lin Xu also spoke up. These giant figures are no fools. Some didn’t react momentarily, others pretended to leave.

Finding Lin Shou just angry, but not taking further action.

They suddenly realized there was trickery.

Gaia isn’t dead; he’s still in the Abyss.

“Hand him over.”

Voices echoed out, sky-rending pressure besieged the area, Lin Shou looked up to the sky, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Suddenly, he revealed a strange smile and said, “Seems like without a fight, you won’t rest. Then so be it.”

With that, his figure flashed, rushing straight towards the sky.
