The Supreme God Chapter 306 The Superior Vital Energy Crystal (Part One)

When Austin noticed that there was a level two double-headed snake hawk inhabited in a cave at the
end of a steep and slippery cliff high up the mountain, he headed towards the direction in a rush.

Since he could use his vital energy to fly, he didn't have to toil up the steep cliff and within minutes, he
could see the cave in sight. However, as he got closer to have a better look, a sudden gust of piercing
wind blew out of the cave. He took a step back in caution and then peered at the cave from a safe
distance. He saw that deep in the cave, in complete darkness, four green balls glinted and twinkled at
him.

Suddenly, Austin heard roaring and rustling sounds. The green balls started to enlarge and the wind
became even stronger. Something was moving and slithering out of the cave. Undeterred, Austin
waited to see what it was. In a blur, the creature shot out from the cave, whizzed over Austin's head
and circled in the air before landing in front of him. From its appearance, Austin instantly recognized
the animal as none other than the double-headed snake hawk that he had been looking for. True to his
expectation, the animal had two snake heads while its torso was that of a hawk. The four green balls
he had seen earlier were its eyes producing a green light in the darkness of the cave.

The double-headed snake hawk felt threatened at Austin's unexpected arrival. With cautious eyes, it
glared at Austin for a moment before making a loud, shrill sound of threats. Austin neither stepped back
nor walked forward. For a moment, both the animal and Austin stood facing and seizing each other,
gauging the opponent's strength. Suddenly, the animal unfurled its wings and flew straight towards
Austin.

"Yes, come, you ugly thing. Show me what you have got," Austin murmured.

In an instant, Austin took a fighting stance and pulled out his Violet Royal Sword. He rapidly put the
level two sword intent into action. Suddenly, thirty rays of sword-light emitted from the sword as Austin



transferred his vital energy to it. He brandished his sword and waved its rays of light over the
impending beast.

The double-headed snake hawk sensed the danger at once, but it was a tad too late. In fear, it strove to
beat a hasty retreat. But, since it was flying at an insanely fast speed towards Austin, it was impossible
for it to slow down immediately and turn back.

Before it could even turn around, the rays of the sword-light had already reached it. In an instant, the
thirty rays of sword-light bored thirty holes into its body.

The blood splattered out of the double-headed snake hawk's body like a red fountain and spread on
the ground slowly dripping over the cliff below.

The blow was lethal. In a scream of unbearable pain, the beast dived down the cliff. After a few
seconds, Austin heard a dull thud: it was dead.

After vanquishing the animal, Austin briskly slipped into the cave. The inside space of the cave was
impressively big, and the scent of the snake hawk still lingered in the atmosphere. Although the place
was not the cleanest place on earth as it was smelly and littered with fecal matter, it was still better than
hovering outside with nowhere to hide and rest. So, Austin opted to stay in the cave for the time being.

He scanned the place and found a relatively flat and clean spot and sat down for a rest. Although the
cave was not as comfortable as home, he had to make do with it. He drew a deep breath of relief as he
lay down. It was not likely that anyone would suspect that he was hiding in the cave of a mighty beast.
So, being in this smelly and messy place, he at least didn't have to worry about being caught by
anyone.

Lying motionless for a moment, he began to grow sleepy. His muscles were stiff and his whole body felt
sore. He could finally feel the fatigue and weariness of his body after the adrenaline had powered his
body through the constant running from danger for half a day. He had consumed too much of his vital



energy than required in a day, which made him utterly exhausted and he was now in urgent need of
some rest.

As soon as he lay down, he entered dreamland.

After half a day of good sleep, he woke up.

Although his physical fatigue was alleviated a lot, his vital energy was still negligent and not restored to
its peak.

The vital energy volume in his energy meridian seemed to be only half of what it was before while the
vital energy of the vital energy stone stored in his elixir field had almost run out. To escape from the
attacks of the two fighters of the Mysterious Realm, he had to consume too much of his vital energy.
Plus, taking down the snake hawk had also significantly decreased his already depleted store of the
vital energy. If his need of this refuge hadn't been so dire, he wouldn't have taken that risk. With little
vital energy, he felt weak and vulnerable like a defenseless ordinary person.

Searching frantically through all of his Space Rings, he found some elixirs that could help him speed up
his cultivation and boost the volume of the vital energy. After experiencing so many fights, Austin
developed a habit that every time he killed a person, he would search over the body to see if there was
anything valuable. By now, he had collected a variety of things and stored all of them in his Space
Rings. Living in a turbulent world with fighters wandering everywhere, he had no options but to collect
some elixirs or weapons in case they might come in handy one day.

Usually, he would just keep the elixirs for a rainy day and wouldn't take them despite they had a potent
effect that they could expedite his cultivation speed and strengthen his powers. It was because
regardless of how high a level the elixirs could help a cultivator to achieve, the outcome would not be
based on his actual true strength. In the long run, he would experience the symptoms of a vacant, false
vital energy cultivation base that would inevitably lead to crippling injuries for the rest of his life. The



situation was comparable to a plant that was being pulled to grow by some external force, since the
root was not mature and stable enough, the plant could therefore not sustain such an unnatural force
and the plant would wither eventually.

There was a popular myth among fighters that due to the limited capabilities of most of the pill refiners,
the elixirs they produced usually contained some toxic substances. As much as the elixirs would cure
diseases, they also would leave some harmful residual elements in the cultivator's body. If the elixirs
were taken for a long time, the harmful residues would increase and cause incurable diseases to the
recipient.

Given this reason, Austin did not use the elixirs often although he had plenty of them in his Space
Rings. He only used them for emergency situations, like if he got injured or if the timing was urgent,
then he would take a few.

Considering that he had consumed too much of his vital energy and was being hunted by so many
fighters, he felt that he should replenish his vital energy and regain his strength as early as possible.
Although the cave was a safe place to hide, without food and water, he could not survive for long.
Besides, before he got back into battle, he needed to be both mentally and physically prepared. So
considering the situation he was in, he took the elixirs he had.
