"The old bastard escaped!"
Austin sighed with regret.
His flying sword had chased the semi-governing god of the demon race through a dozen universe
communities, but in the end, the semi-governing god had been able to throw it off his tail by burning his
blood essence. Then, he had used a brilliant escape skill of the demon race, which successfully
protected him from being perceived by Austin's spiritual sense.
Since he couldn't trace the semi-governing god anymore, Austin reluctantly summoned his flying sword
back.
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Austin,"
a semi-governing god of the Novel Court said with a hint of admiration.
"No," a martial arts master of the beast race shouted immediately, refuting his statement. "He have
used some kind of forbidden secret skill to increase his spiritual soul energy this much in such a short
period.
Whatever he did, I don't think his power will last long.
Let's work together to defeat him.
No matter what the cost is, we must kill Austin today!"
As he spoke, he rushed towards Austin with determination written all over his face.
"You think you can kill me, old monster?
You're the one who's going to be killed," Austin replied before bursting into wild laughter.
There was no fear on his face.
"Give me all your spiritual soul energy,"
he secretly ordered his thousands of divine god slaves through spiritual sense.
"Yes, master!"
All the divine god slaves did as they had been told and sent their spiritual soul energy to Austin without
hesitation.
Endless strands of spiritual soul energy rushed towards Austin with great momentum like roaring winds
and galloping horses.
As Austin let all this energy gather in his Soul Sea, his entire body felt like it was a furnace roaring with
bright flames.
However, his eyes were cold as ice;
he would show no mercy to his enemies.
"Die!"
Austin spat, turning his piercing gaze to the martial arts master rushing towards him, causing the latter
to stop in his tracks.
The amount of spiritual soul energy in Austin's Soul Sea caused his body to glow brightly.
To their shock, the thirty semi-governing gods from the six super forces and the twelve zodiac animals
around him could all sense that he was much stronger than a semi-governing god now.
They felt a harsh spiritual pressure in the depths of their souls.
Somehow, they had a feeling that if they got closer to Austin, their spiritual souls would falter and
collapse.
"Be careful. This guy's spiritual soul energy is too terrifying.
Besides, he seems to have practiced many powerful spiritual skills.
We must guard our Soul Seas and protect our spiritual souls with great caution!"
a martial arts master of the beast race shouted at the top of his voice, alerting his comrades.
All of them had already witnessed what the semi-governing god of the demon race had suffered. He
was a very good example.
He had underestimated Austin and ended up having his spiritual soul badly damaged.
At this moment, a martial arts master of the Annihlation Mountain asked the question that was going
through everyone's mind. "Austin, what's your relationship with the spiritual race?
Not only do you possess powerful spiritual soul energy, but you've also cultivated many core spiritual
skills of the spiritual race. You've even cultivated the secret skill of the Puppet Strings, which is
inherited only by the members of the spiritual race!
Could it be that you're from the spiritual race?
Or, is it possible that the real Austin has actually been dead for a long time and there is a powerful
cultivator of the spiritual race living in his body?"
Upon hearing this, Austin let out an arrogant laugh.
"I'm Austin Lin. I'm the person I've been since I was born.
Why do you even bother thinking this much? Just go ahead and accept your doomed destiny!"
As he spoke, he used the Secret Reincarnation Skill and, in a flash, teleported in front of the martial
arts master of the Annihilation Mountain.
The Secret Reincarnation Skill was a powerful trump card of his.
It could bend the laws of time and space.
Whenever Austin used this skill, he moved at a speed that was even faster than that of an ordinary
semi-governing god.
"Die!" he roared as his body twisted and transformed into a golden sword with a sharp blade.
Emitting astonishing sword aura, the golden sword zoomed towards the martial arts master of the
Annihilation Mountain like a bolt of lightning.
There were six chaotic magic treasures hovering around the long blade of the sword, intensifying the
terrifying aura of the sword.
This was actually a secret skill of the heaven metal race. Whoever cultivated this skill to a high level
could transform his body into any kind of magic weapon.
As for the six chaotic magic treasures, Austin had placed them in his body and refined them for his own
use. This was his specialty—learning skills and modifying them to fit his own needs. In this way, he
always stayed several steps ahead of other creatures and was able to surprise them at every turn.
"You arrogant brat!" the semi-governing god of the Annihilation Mountain yelled before rushing forward
to attack.
With his right fist, he punched the palm of his left hand, unleashing the skill that unified the positive and
negative forces of nature.
A stream of black mist emerged from his palm while a stream of white mist emerged from his fist.
These two streams of mist swam around and circled each other before finally taking the shape of a
black and white dragon. As soon as the dragon materialized, it charged violently at Austin.
However, this semi-governing god had no time to assess the effectiveness of his attack, because he
realized that something strange was happening around him.
"What the hell? Time seems to be going backwards,"
he exclaimed, feeling stunned to the core.
Even the area where he stood had become blurred and chaotic, like it was flitting in and out of tangible
space.
He was so distracted by this glitch in time and space that he didn't notice that his attack had no effect
on Austin at all.
A split-second later, his body was deftly cut in half by the golden sword that Austin had transformed
himself into.
As his body split open and fell to the ground on two opposite sides, his blood splashed into the air.
"Austin, I won't let you go!"
he yelled angrily as he scrambled to use his magical skills to fix and reorganize his body.
For a semi-governing god like him, physical injury meant nothing. In fact, it was very difficult to kill a
semi-governing god.
Nevertheless, no normal creature would be able to lay a finger on a semi-governing god in the first
place.
"Let's attack Austin together!" he urged.
Afraid that they would end up with the same fate, the several semi-governing gods nearby immediately
gathered and stood around Austin, surrounding him from all sides.
However, Austin wasn't intimidated in the slightest.
"Try my Double Soul Star of Polar Forces!"
he roared, unleashing a very powerful spiritual skill.
A stream of spiritual power gushed out of his head and rose hundreds of millions of feet high in the air.
It swirled around and turned into a scarlet sun made of flames that continuously churned and licked its
surface. It was as if hundreds of volcanoes were erupting at the same time, dyeing the sky around it
red.
With a deafening noise, another stream of spiritual power gushed out of Austin's head and rose up into
the sky before turning into a dark green full moon.
This moon was churning with green flames, dyeing the rest of the sky green.
The green full moon represented coldness, killing, and death.
Without warning, the red sun and the green full moon charged forward at the same time, leaving a trail
of red and green flames in their wake.
Emitting strange spiritual soul laws, they both hurtled through the void at an astonishing speed and
attacked the seven semi-governing gods around Austin.
This was, no doubt, a very powerful spiritual skill.
All the semi-governing gods surrounding Austin dodged aside to avoid the attack.
"How many evil skills does this brat have!"
one of the semi-governing gods spat irritably before raising his fist to hit the green full moon.
Surging demonic power flowed out of him, causing the void to collapse inch by inch.
However, his confidence immediately changed into fear when his fist made contact with the dark green
full moon and he didn't feel anything, as if his fist had passed through air.
The green full moon seemed to be an illusion. It continued zooming towards his head.
"Damned spiritual skills!" he cursed, feeling scared to death.
In the end, he had no choice but to retreat.
As for the twelve zodiac animals watching from afar, they were very excited to see his mighty strength.
"Good job, Austin!"
"Austin, you're great at combat!"
"It's so awesome. Austin, your spiritual skills are even more powerful than mine. Besides, they are very
rare skills!"
"Austin, it turns out that I judged you correctly."
Among all the zodiac animals, the sky-devouring dog was the one who felt the proudest.
He was the one who had first found Austin and introduced him to his master in the Fallen Divine Valley.
This human boy had not only lived up to his expectations, but also soared beyond them.
