Boom!
The governing gods worked together to destroy the six paths of reincarnation.
Somewhere in the starry sky,
a muffled buzzing reverberated just as Austin and the twelve zodiac animals appeared.
"Austin, are you all right?"
the sky-devouring dog asked, concern evident in its tone.
The destruction of the six paths of reincarnation produced a backlash that had injured Austin. When his
companions noticed blood dripping from the corner of Austin's mouth, they became worried.
"I'm okay. Don't worry as it's just a minor injury.
Besides, reincarnation is a process of constant destruction and rebirth, so fighting these masters is
beneficial to me."
Austin recalled the moment when the six paths of reincarnation had shattered. At that time, he found
that his comprehension of the law of reincarnation had improved a little. He couldn't help but feel a
tinge of excitement.
"You baffle me more and more each day,"
the big black bull remarked as it grinned and patted Austin on the shoulder.
"So, Austin, shall we leave this Land of Void?"
the sky-devouring dog questioned. Now that its concerns had been settled, it was curious to hear what
Austin had planned next.
"No. Let's seize the opportunity to explore this mysterious land,"
Austin suggested.
"Okay."
The twelve zodiac animals nodded in agreement.
They were infused with excitement at the prospect of exploring a strange land.
After glancing around, Austin and the twelve zodiac animals selected one of the stone roads to explore.
Eventually, their search brought them to other roads in the Land of Void.
Over the next few days, Austin and the twelve zodiac animals realized that the Land of Void was a vast
but broken starry sky.
Many pieces of gray continents floated in the air,
each filled with the law of reincarnation and other mysterious things.
Besides these gray continents, many ancient stone roads extended into the depths of the void. No one
knew where they led.
"This is an abandoned space."
During their expedition, Austin and the twelve zodiac animals reached the same conclusion.
"I've been here before. This is the continent where I found the nine-tailed demon fox race last time!"
Austin's brows furrowed, and he mumbled. They had been walking along a stone road when he
discovered that a familiar continent lay at the road's end.
It barely took him a second to recognize that Violet and he had visited this continent before.
Everyone's curiosity was piqued now. The twelve zodiac animals didn't need to be urged by Austin.
They simply followed as he stepped on this gray continent.
"Yes, this void was the hiding place of the nine-tailed demon fox race for many years,"
Austin muttered as he stood in front of the ruins of the palaces and other buildings.
A brief moment later, he led the twelve zodiac animals deeper into the continent.
"These tombs belong to semi-governing gods!"
The twelve zodiac animals were astounded when they chanced across a large-sized graveyard.
Endless rows of tall tombs were densely packed in the area, each shrouded in a bright and sacred
aura.
They stretched as far as the horizon, and it was impossible to tell where the graveyard started or where
it ended.
"There were so many semi-governing gods here!
The total number of semi-governing gods in the Sea of Chaos may be less than here!"
the twelve zodiac animals exclaimed in unison.
They couldn't help but marvel at the aura released from each of the semi-governing gods as they
walked through the graveyard.
After a divine god died, the spiritual soul's mark and aura would be left behind, immortalizing it forever.
The last time Austin came here, he felt as though he had entered a treasure trove.
However, after improving his strength, Austin was indifferent toward the things left behind by the semi-
governing gods.
He knew that their formulas, secret skills, and magic treasures were not of much use to him anymore.
After crossing the graveyard,
Austin led the twelve zodiac animals to a wide river located deep in the continent's interior.
Boom!
The river was muddy and yellow, roaring and rushing violently.
The last time Austin had stood before this river, Elmer had accompanied him. At that time, neither could
make any progress, and they were forced to retreat.
This time, Austin intentionally brought the twelve zodiac animals to see if he could cross the river. He
was curious to learn what would happen if he made it across.
"What an appalling river!"
Every nerve and cell in the bodies of the twelve zodiac animals tingled when they saw the roaring river.
Not only was it filled with several kinds of chaotic law power, but it also contained boundless violent
energy.
"There used to be a bridge here,
but it was destroyed,"
the rat remarked after observing the river bank.
"Yes, you are right."
Austin nodded.
"Why do I get the feeling that something terrifying lurks in this river?"
the goat voiced its concerns. Once its exhilaration settled, a sense of foreboding coursed through it.
"Austin, are you considering crossing the river?"
the sky-devouring dog couldn't help but ask when it saw how intently Austin was staring at the other
side of the river.
"Yes, I want to try,"
Austin replied. He was so mesmerized by the raging river water that he couldn't seem to look
elsewhere.
"Are you serious? There's something very ominous about this river,"
the big black bull warned.
"It's okay.
I will be fine,"
Austin responded confidently.
Before anyone could object, he took a step toward the roaring river.
Immediately,
the river water began to soar.
Colossal waves, over a million feet high, swept toward Austin.
"Six Paths Reincarnation Skill!"
Austin shouted.
In an instant, six paths of reincarnation appeared in front of him. The waves disappeared into the
massive, dark, and seemingly endless depths of each path. It was as swift and sudden as a starving
monster devouring its prey.
The blood in Austin's body boiled, and vital energy gushed out, like a volcano spewing lava.
He summoned every ounce of his physical strength and rushed forward.
At this moment, an unexpected sound halted him.
"No one can stir up trouble on the road of reincarnation"
a cold and emotionless voice flared from the river's depths.
Before Austin or the twelve zodiac animals could react,
a massive army of zombies with long, dark-green hair emerged from the muddy river.
Whoosh!
These green-haired zombies emitted dangerous auras, and the air around them reeked of rotten fish.
They pounced on Austin at astonishing speed.
"Fuck off!"
Austin roared as a bright flying sword flew out from his mouth and hurtled toward the dozen zombies
closest to him.
However, to his shock, the flying sword couldn't hurt these zombies!
"What the hell? Each of these zombies has the power of a semi-governing god!"
The twelve zodiac animals were truly terrified now and subconsciously took several steps backward,
putting some distance between themselves and the river.
Splash!
The green-haired zombies continued to emerge from the roaring river.
In a flash, the number of green-haired zombies had grown to tens of thousands. Then, they rushed
forward and surrounded Austin.
As tens of thousands of zombies with power equivalent to semi-governing gods enclosed him, Austin
had no escape route left!
What was worse, these green-haired zombies seemed to have no consciousness. If they fought, they
would probably be ruthless creatures, unafraid to die.
