Clasping tightly those two swords of vital energy, Austin launched the two rays of Spiritual Sword Auras
from his Soul Sea. Within a second, the Spiritual Sword Auras flew out and merged with the two
swords of vital energy.
Then Austin, without almost any effort smoothly flicked his arm to cross the two swords of vital energy
across his chest.
Rumbling!
As the crowd gaped with anticipation, the golden spear radiance crashed against the two long pale
golden swords on Austin's chest.
"Boom!"
A low rumble echoed throughout the valley, and extremely powerful shock waves of vital energy force
spread out in rings from the center of impact in front of Austin.
A dozen spectators among the crowd nearby Austin were sent flying upside down, falling to the ground
one by one, as if dumplings were being dropped into water.
The duel between the golden spear radiance and the two long pale golden swords only lasted so long
before the golden spear radiance exploded into small pieces under Graham's dumbfounded stare.
Graham was also blown away, creating a deep, ghastly gorge in the ground.
"What?!"
After what had been quite a while, Graham tried to regain his balance, his eyes widened with shock
and his face shadowed with a frightened expression, as if he saw a ghost.
"Austin, you've broken into the Sky Realm, haven't you?" he asked in disbelief. Not only was Graham
surprised, but Bruce and the three masters of the Sky Realm, who were from the Ghost Sect, all stared
at Austin.
They were all speechless and in utter shock.
All five of them had just clearly sensed that Austin's vital energy force fluctuations had reached the Sky
Realm.
To add to their bewilderment, the vital energy force that Austin just released was actually more powerful
than theirs, which indicated that Austin's cultivation base might have been the medium stage of Sky
Realm!
However, when they saw Austin the other day, his cultivation base was only at the medium stage of
Mysterious Realm. Within just a few days his cultivation base had improved from the medium stage of
Mysterious Realm to the medium stage of Sky Realm. The speed of his practicing had surpassed that
of a genius and it was striking.
It was completely contradictory with what the five powerful men knew.
In shock, the five quickly deduced that Austin's amazing change happened due to the third floor of the
Emperor Library.
"What good luck and chance he got on the third floor of the Emperor Library!"
All the five now firmly believed that Austin's breakthrough in a matter of days was because of an
incredible opportunity he got on the third floor of the Emperor Library.
For a moment, envy, jealousy, hate, anger, and other negative emotions overwhelmed their straight
thinking, especially Bruce and Graham.
As royalty, Bruce and Graham first arrived at the Emperor Library and personally led people to break
the energy cover of the library's protection array. But the biggest benefit was obtained by Austin who
showed up all of a sudden.
A sense of utmost grievance and failure fumed inside Graham and Bruce.
"Damn Austin, you little thief, even if you've broken through to the Sky Realm, I'll still take your life
today anyway!"
"Golden Dragon Blow!"
Graham's clothes suddenly swelled up. This was a sign of the utmost vital energy in his body. Streams
of visible strong vital energy started generating from his arms at a furious rate like torrents of water, and
poured into the long spear in his hand.
Then, wrapped by layers of vital energy, the long golden spear began to transform—a golden dragon
head started appearing at the point of the spear, with four golden claws protruding from the pole, and a
dragon tail emerged at the end of the spear.
Then, a majestic and gigantic golden dragon rose from Graham's hand.
"Howl!"
The huge golden dragon gradually came to life. It let out a loud roar, full of strength and grandeur.
Then it glared at Austin with its stone cold golden eyes, thrashed and flew toward Austin's head angrily.
Austin was astonished by the dragon. Graham's Golden Dragon Blow was really praiseworthy. He
actually created a clear golden dragon with his vital energy. Austin had never heard or witnessed of this
kind of martial art.
"The Dragon's Rage!"
Bruce released a shrill shout as Graham attacked Austin.
His imposing manner unceasingly increased, his eyes as commanding and arrogant as an emperor's!
Bang!
With a deafening noise, waves of yellow vital energy burst out from Bruce's body, accompanied by
earsplitting whistles, and hit Austin directly.
Crack! Crack! Crack...
Countless pieces of rubble, dead branches and leaves, and even grasses on the surrounding ground
burst into a million pieces with the whistle attack.
As the ground ruptured, the earth splattered, creating many holes.
This move required his vital energy to be escalated. The sudden, formidable shock waves of the
explosion were like sound waves. With his powerful majestic momentum, this move could make the
enemy feel powerless to resist.
Looking at the moves of the two royal members of the Sky Realm, the other young cultivators of the
Violet Orchid Empire could not help but admire. The power of the masters of the Sky Realm was really
amazing. Their sheer momentum alone was enough to terrorize the average young cultivators.
The royal family indeed had the well-deserved reputation as the only superpower in the Violet Orchid
Empire, because it had the power that no other sect was even close to.
However, in the face of their attacks of great impulse, Austin showed no signs of cowardice or
nervousness. He used his mind to steady the vital energy in his body, continuously transmitting it to
those two swords of vital energy. Then he brandished the two swords with two balls of fire, fending off
the enemies' attacks. He did it with great ease.
Graham's golden dragon quivered, then burst into a thousand gold dots, and disappeared in the air,
and his golden spear was doused in flames and burned.
As all Graham's vital energy force was attached to the massive golden dragon, Graham was
immediately affected by the death of the dragon.
He was again taken aback by the impact. It was not until he was thrown back more than twenty meters
that he managed to hold his position in an awkward manner. And immediately there was blood gushing
out from the corners of his mouth.
At the same time, as soon as the other sword of vital energy hit Bruce's yellow vital energy, a huge fire
broke out, and ignited the yellow vital energy.
Within the flick of an eye, the strip of yellow vital energy that attacked Austin previously burned away.
This was the magnanimous power of the Scorching Evil Fire—directly burning vital energy!
Bruce immediately retracted and took a few steps back, as the blood came from the corners of his
mouth.
With only one powerful stroke, Austin wounded two cultivators at the preliminary stage of the Sky
Realm!
Austin also had a look of doubt in his eyes as he stared at the two swords of vital energy in his hands.
He did not expect that the Flame Swordsmanship could be this destructive.
He had asked the Flame Emperor which grade the Flame Swordsmanship was, and guessed that it
was at grade eight or nine.
The Flame Emperor told Austin that the Flame Swordsmanship was neither at grade eight nor nine, but
more advanced. In addition, he also advised Austin not to ask this question for the time being, because
Austin would naturally understand which grade it was when he improved to a certain level, and
contacted with the advanced cultivator world.
Since the Flame Emperor asked him not to ponder on it, Austin naturally let it be.
Now that Austin had witnessed the power of the Flame Swordsmanship, he realized its grade was
definitely supposed to be much higher than what he had expected.
"Hey, guys, the three of you, Austin obviously got great luck at the Emperor Library—a rare treasure.
If you don't want to lose and die a merciless death, come, join us and fight Austin with us. After we
finish him, we'll share the goods we get from him."
Bruce's face filled with rage when he was forced to take a few steps back because of Austin's attack.
Then he realized that he and Graham had almost no chance of defeating Austin today, let alone getting
any advantage over him.
What he thought made sense. After all, everyone saw right in front of their eyes that Austin had beaten
them ruthlessly just now with great ease, and didn't have to put in much effort or do his best.
Thus, Bruce reasoned that Austin probably was actually more powerful. Once Austin concentrated on
giving in all his force seriously, he and Graham would not have a chance to survive long.
So Bruce thought about it for a while and decided to invite those three strange cultivators of the Sky
Realm to team up with them against Austin.
"Oh? They want to gang against me?" Austin murmured, a little astonished at this action.
Then he looked at the five men intently, without uttering anything.
Based on the Flame Swordsmanship's power that he had just performed, Austin judged that even if
these five masters of the Sky Realm ganged up on him, he would be able to fight with them. What was
more, he had a level-ten diabolic beast ready in his beast-subduing bag.
If he failed to defeat the five men, he could take out the ancient evil ape to unleash attacks on them. In
that case, none of the five of the Sky Realm could escape or survive the ordeal.
Now Austin waited to see how the three cultivators from the Ghost Sect would respond to Bruce's
suggestion.
"Huh?
We team up against Austin and split the goods?"
Hearing this proposal, the strange-looking young man with a sand scorpion tattoo on his head stood
still for a moment.
Apparently, he was the leader among the ten strange young people from the Ghost Sect.
The other two Ghost Sect's cultivators of the Sky Realm also looked at him, expecting a response.
After a moment's reflection, he expressed his views.
"All right. Let's get to work together to kill Austin for once and all!"
