"Of course.
We would give our lives to protect the Divine Sword Mountain.
It is our life mission and we will complete it,"
the yellow-robed elder said, encouraging the other four sword spirits.
Meanwhile,
Austin was still at the top of the Divine Sword Mountain, trying to avoid the Thunderstroke Doom.
"I have successfully dodged the Thunderstroke Doom seventy-seven times.
Four more times and I will be able to become a genuine premium-grade divine god!"
Austin exclaimed, pumping himself up.
So far, everything was going smoothly and he didn't expect to lose control any time soon.
However, he was worried about the ongoing battle on the Divine Sword Mountain.
Using his spiritual sense, he saw that the five sword spirits were struggling.
Even though he wanted to help, Austin was consumed with his current task.
"Look! That brat isn't even fighting! It looks like he's having a breakthrough.
What a fearless idiot.
Everyone, activate the array and take him out!"
"Really? He has the balls to take on the Thunderstroke Doom in front of us?
He's so quiet that I almost forgot that he was here.
Let's get him!"
Since they were so consumed with battling the five sword spirits,
the governing gods had chosen to ignore Austin until now.
Now that they knew they were going to defeat the five sword spirits, they turned their attention to him.
But now
was a critical moment for Austin.
He was in the middle of his final Thunderstroke Doom.
Once he successfully avoided it, he would become a genuine premium-grade divine god.
"Damn it! They know what I'm doing."
The whole time he had been dealing with the Thunderstroke Doom, Austin had been keeping an eye
on the governing gods.
"Oh no! They're going after Austin.
We must do something.
He's so close to making his breakthrough. It's not fair for them to attack him now,"
the elder in yellow robes said.
"Ha-ha! Brat, do you think you are safe because you are in the Divine Sword Mountain?
You are too naive and
that's going to kill you!"
a governing god shouted up the mountain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With sinister smiles, the governing gods fashioned a giant sword and let it hang above the Divine
Sword Mountain. Looking up, Austin saw that it hovered directly above his head.
Suddenly, the space was chopped in half, and the slice left behind was very smooth.
At this point, Austin felt that his life was at peril.
At any moment, he could be cut in half too.
Just then,
a thick, colorful light column soared into the sky above the Divine Sword Mountain.
It was headed straight for the giant sword.
"Austin, focus on avoiding your last Thunderstroke Doom.
We will help you!"
the yellow-robed elder informed Austin through his spiritual sense.
It was difficult for them to fight the giant sword.
Every time they sent an attack, they would get injured and were forced to step back.
After just a few minutes of fighting, their own strengths were nearly depleted.
If it were to go on like this, the five sword spirits would die.
"Sirs, thank you so much,"
Austin said gratefully.
The moment he finished talking,
another large collision occurred above the Divine Sword Mountain.
Sword aura combined and formed an angry pool that rained down on Austin's head.
At that moment, it seemed like doomsday was coming.
The pressure made it feel like the Divine Sword Mountain and everything near it would be flattened.
As they collided with the giant sword, the five sword spirits bent over.
Blood dripped from their mouths and the color was drained from their faces.
The sword array that they had set up was slammed at the Divine Sword Mountain, causing it to shake.
"Ha-ha! Old men, have you learned your lesson?"
The governing gods of the four major forces burst into laughter.
They had finally managed to defeat the five sword spirits and it made them feel elated and proud.
"Now kill the brat!"
Together, they reactivated the giant sword and aimed it at Austin.
Sword radiance constantly showered down on him, forcing him to bend over.
Austin sensed a powerful law of death enveloping him. It became hard for him to breathe.
The array that the governing gods had created was too advanced
and Austin didn't know how to deal with its attacks.
He wanted to fight back but he was too weak.
Looking up, he saw the giant sword piercing down on him.
At this point, the void where Austin sat was locked down.
Space, energy, and laws were all frozen.
"No!" Austin shouted.
All of the hair on his body was standing on end,
but something distracted him. He looked up at the sky again.
He was surprised to find that the thunder in the sky rolled away.
"Wait a minute," he murmured to himself as he looked at the sky in confusion.
The last Thunderstroke Doom was supposed to be the most challenging one.
Just a minute ago, there were flashes of lightning made up of eighty-one colors gathered above his
head,
and Austin had been fully focused on avoiding them.
But now there wasn't a trace of it.
The giant sword had cut through the Thunderstroke Doom and terminated it.
Instead of hurting him, it had helped him.
Along with the disappearance of the lightning, Austin's vital energy realm started to change.
He was in the middle of becoming a genuine premium-grade divine god.
The energy in his body began to improve and
all kinds of abnormal visions began to appear around him.
Every trace of energy in the entire Sword Cosmos was summoned to Austin and entered his body.
Feeling rejuvenated,
Austin threw his head back and yelled at the sky.
This was the fastest he had ever broken through. He knew that he would be a genuine premium-grade
divine god within the next few minutes.
"This is not good! Our attack contributed to his breakthrough!"
The governing gods of the four major forces exchanged angry looks.
"While he is breaking through, stop him from absorbing the energy and laws of heaven and earth!"
"Come on! This is the weakest he will ever be. We must take his life now."
All the governing gods made gestures with their hands to activate the array once again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The giant sword sped up and it released more energy, falling down on Austin's head.
