Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 219: Struggle

The aliens charged through different Gates and were now swarming the Gate terminal. 

Whoosh~

When the horde of aliens were thirty meters from Li Mo, they vanished one by one.

Li Mos final three arrays were all one way teleportation arrays to Heavenly Courts planet. 

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The Gates collapsed one by one, trapping countless aliens in between, just like it happened to the nine-headed alien. The exception this time was punctuated by the severance of all of them. 

Not all were as strong as the Nine-headed race to withstand the pull and tear of space.

Whoosh~

The remaining aliens gauged the situation unfavorable and resorted to attacking Li Mo from afar.

The hundreds of attacks pushed Li Mo back seven steps, forcing him into coughing blood and breaking his concentration on Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art. 

Smack~

The aliens broke the first Stellar Orientation Array and the hundreds of talismans placed by Li Mo in the air lit up, turning into an enormous mountain and blocking their advance.

Hundreds of Mount Tai talismans that Li Mo spent half a year drawing finally saw some use. 

The aliens attacked the mountain with renewed fervor and rage, but it bought Li Mo enough time to use the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art again, resuming turning off the Gates.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

In one breath, Li Mo ruined eight more Gates.

With Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art up and running, its effects were boring down on them. As this place was no Earth, but a Gate terminal, or outer space, there was no fifth level restriction. The aliens power was the same one they came here with.

If Li Mo hadnt enveloped the terminal ahead of time with the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art, it wouldve been an impossible task in getting the aliens under control the moment they showed up.

In the time of Heavenly Courts collapse, humanitys primogenitor fled Earth. And, for posterity, he used the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art to shape a law around Earth in the form of the fifth level limit. 

Li Mos current cultivation didnt allow him to change this planet-sized law, but affecting something as small as a terminal was barely doable. 

Under the cover of Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art, the aliens power fell sharply, unable to display even half of their potential. 

But it wasnt going to last. Using Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art burned through ones spiritual qi, even if the user was Li Mo with his body beyond that of an average persons.

Just half an hour, that was how long he could sustain it before he ran on empty and the law imposed on this slice of space would disappear. 

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Li Mo focused his all on closing the Gates.

Going after the Earths Gate wouldve been a done deal by now, not even requiring him to enter the terminal. But doing that would only delay things instead of rooting out the problem. The most effective and final way was to destroy any and all Gates linked to Earths. 

The aliens made quick work of the enormous mountain, blowing it to pieces. It was now that the number of Gates was cut down to four.

Thump!

Li Mo withstood the hundreds of attacks, managing to ruin one more Gate.

Boom~

The constant assault pushed Li Mo back at every second. The aliens were under Fortune of Heaven and Earth Arts effect still, weakened, but they were in too high numbers.

And these races here werent your run of the mill. Any of them would be a peak existence on Earth. Without the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art, holding thus far wouldve been a pipe dream.

Thump!

As another Gate crumbled, the aliens grew frantic, going crazy in their attacks against Li Mo. 

Thump!

Blood trickled from Li Mos mouth, and another Gate fell.

Thump!

When the last Gate collapsed, the aliens lost all semblance of reason, throwing themselves at Li Mo like raving lunatics.

The flood of aliens couldnt be blocked, throwing him off his feet.

Hum~

The next second, a battered and bruised Li Mo flashed outside the Gate terminal. This was his last resort, teleporting him outside, to the Stellar Orientation Array, by using a great deal of earth qi jades. 

Li Mo grabbed the blind nagas and threw em in the Gate before blowing it as well with a palm.

Hu~

With the end of the final Gate, Li Mo slumped down and gasped for air.

It was finally quiet

On the morrow, Thunderstruck Enterprises team came, a hundred in all. Half of which were professional gamers, with Du Fei and Madam Ning among them. 

The Experts Alliance team was ready to set out, but Li Mos tent was as still as before.

Zheng Lifeng send someone to fetch Li Mo, but couldnt get him up even after sending people three times for him.

Lin Yourong and Lin Qingrou went in as well. Seeing him sleeping so soundly, they shouted at him, but even that didnt work.

I finally realize what people never wake up once they fall asleep refers to. Lin Yourong sighed.

Who? Lin Qingrou asked.

Fakers.

Li Mos breathing was smooth. His chest fell and rose, as if he was having the sleep of his life. But that only worked to raise doubts in Lin Yourong.

Faking?

Zheng Lifeng came in person at some point and snorted before rushing out.

Wuss, lily-livered, faker

Out of Li Mos knowledge, the people called him a coward in no less than five different ways. 

Experts Alliance team set out, leaving only Li Mos feeble and lonely tent behind.

What happened to the time-space rupture?

Where are the cyclops?

Where have they gone?

Reaching their destination, everyone looked around stunned.

The hovering black and shimmering hole, as well as the four cyclops, were gone. What happened?

No one knew.

Jiang Ye pinched his ear, Captain Zheng, it wasnt like this yesterday? 

Jiang Ye was the captain of his team, as well as the newly commissioned Thunderstruck Enterprise China divisions chairman, replacing Lei Tian. He was but thirty and no one knew of him, not even Thunderstruck Enterprises people, before he became chairman.

Yesterday was normal. Zheng Lifeng replied.

That means something happened at night.

Jiang Ye pinched his ear and grabbed some sand for Zheng Lifeng to see.

There was blood among it.

Signs of battle.

Someone beat us to it, robbing the time-space rupture blind. Jiang Yes put on a fake smile, leaving the bloodied sand to one of his men for testing. 

Zheng Lifeng was annoyed, Captain Jiang, are you suspecting us?

Jiang Ye said, Before we know the truth, not just you, but even I am a suspect.

Jiang Ye asked, My people are accounted for all of last night, only arriving here now. What of yours? Who among you isnt here right now?

Only inspection team leader Li Mo is missing! Lin Qingrou jumped in.
