"Thank you so much, sir!"
Joy filled Austin at the praise.
"Continue with your training.
If you get the opportunity, remember to go to the Sword Cosmos and finish what you promised me,"
the middle-aged man reminded.
"Don't worry, sir. I'll definitely live up to your expectations!"
Austin sincerely agreed.
"I can see that you're a trustworthy person.
You can go."
He nodded at Austin.
"Sir, goodbye."
Austin dropped into a respectful bow and then walked out of the sword shrine.
"The army of the six super forces..."
Austin sneered.
Although he stayed in the sword shrine for a long time, he knew the exact situation outside due to his
powerful spiritual sense.
In fact, he expected that the six super forces would hunt him down sooner or later.
Some time ago, he sent his people to spread the news that the alliance was going to fight for the right
to control the Sea of Chaos.
That meant in addition to the six super forces, another super force was on their way to take territory
within the Sea of Chaos.
None of the six super forces was willing to let the alliance develop smoothly.
Sooner or later, they would definitely come to surround the alliance and wipe them off the map.
"This battle will witness the real rise of the alliance."
With his hands tucked behind his back, Austin strode out of the Ice Palace.
At that moment, a fierce fight was happening right outside the Ice Palace.
Most of the masters of the six super forces were blocked by the genuine divine gods under Austin.
All the genuine premium-grade divine gods played an especially important role.
Time ticked by as the fierce battle dragged on.
A large number of creatures died with every second that passed.
Piles of corpses and a mess of flesh and blood floated through the vast chaotic void.
Even the great rivers made of the blood of the dead let out deafening roars.
Countless ghosts, broken spiritual soul fragments, spiritual avatars, and soul marks filled the air with
their whining.
Austin surveyed the battlefield with cold eyes as he walked out of the Ice Palace.
Many of his slaves and the members of the alliance were injured and killed.
"This is what you have to go through."
Although Austin felt distressed at the sight, it was a necessary brutal battle if the alliance wanted to
truly fight for the control of the Sea of Chaos.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to grow and become stronger.
All of this was because Austin was clearly aware that he was the army's foundation, and it was propped
up by the genuine divine gods under him.
Without him, the alliance wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from the six super forces.
However, Austin had plans to fight for territories and establish many strongholds in the Sea of Chaos.
That was why the members of the alliance must be separated and he couldn't support all of them all
the time.
Therefore, he began to train them.
No matter what it took, he must make this army stronger as soon as possible.
It was the only way they'd grow into an army that could really compete with the six super forces for
dominance.
This kind of brutal war was undoubtedly the best way to thoroughly train them.
"Look, Leader Austin is here!"
A loud cheer broke out among the senior leaders of the alliance when they saw Austin's figure.
"Master finally came out!"
Even Austin's slaves couldn't help but be excited.
"Leader Austin is here! Let's work hard and kill all the enemies!"
"We'll definitely win!"
"Kill them all!
There's nothing to be afraid of now that Leader Austin is here!"
"Come on! Leader Austin is watching! We can't embarrass the alliance!"
Originally, the alliance's morale reached rock bottom in face of so many casualties. However, with
Austin's arrival, the morale instantly rose.
Frantic energy filled the members of the alliance as they rushed forward.
All the divine gods under Austin's command rushed forth with all their might, trying their best to behave
in front of him.
"This kind of fighting spirit is not bad,"
Austin mumbled to himself and nodded in satisfaction at the battlefield.
"Lad, if they continue to fight like this, the alliance will suffer heavy casualties."
All twelve zodiac animals walked up to Austin's side.
None of them made a move to interfere with the battle.
"Don't worry. I have a plan. This is training for the alliance.
I'm going to end this war soon,"
Austin assured.
Although he wanted the alliance to be trained well, he didn't want to have too many casualties.
"Austin, do you need my help?"
The tiger was itching to jump in the fight.
It was born to be aggressive after all.
At the sight of the fierce battle right before its eyes, it couldn't help but want to join in.
"Not now. As I said before, you're my trump cards. Try not to expose yourselves too early."
Austin grinned at the twelve zodiac animals.
After a few moments, he slowly walked towards the battlefield with his hands behind his back. Every
step he took echoed.
"Bold of you to provoke us. Do you honestly think we're weak?
Kneel and kowtow as an apology. If you do it well, I might give you a way out.
Otherwise, not a single one of you is leaving this place alive,"
Austin said while unhurriedly sauntering through the fierce battlefield.
Deafening sounds of fighting, roars, and screams echoed around the battlefield.
However, Austin's voice could still be clearly heard by all the still surviving creatures.
"Austin, how dare you say that?
How can a young man like you tell us to kneel?
You're dead!"
a genuine premium-grade divine god from the Novel Court retorted as he rushed towards Austin.
An azure crystal ball gleamed in his right hand and a red token was clutched in his left. There was
incredible energy pressure from the two items.
As soon as the words left his lips, something happened.
Whoosh!
A flying sword suddenly appeared and slashed at him.
Both the speed and energy of the flying sword was too much.
Shock filled the genuine premium-grade divine god and he hurriedly blocked the flying sword with the
crystal ball and the token at the same time.
Crack!
Both the crystal ball and the token were split in half by the flying sword.
Crack!
The flying sword swept across his knees and cut off his legs in a heartbeat.
In just a second, Austin used the Flying Swordsmanship to defeat a genuine premium-grade divine
god.
If it weren't for Austin's plan to make the genuine premium-grade divine god his slave, the god would
be dead already.
"Austin, you've gone too far!
I'm going to kill you!"
An old monster with red skin rushed towards Austin with his brilliant spatial demonic skill in an instant.
It was like pure red fire was rushing towards Austin as the old monster's original energy essence
burned all over his body.
Whoosh!
A flying sword slashed at him as well.
Boom!
Thousands of bright sword auras appeared on the flying sword and made a sound as if each sword
aura was a living creature.
All kinds of sword civilization and faith were contained within the sword auras.
Crack!
As the sharp flying sword cut through all the attacks and defenses of the old monster, it split him in half.
A wicked grin bloomed on Austin's lips. He could now kill a genuine premium-grade divine god in an
instant with just his swordsmanship.
