Swish! Swish!
Both Warner and Emmet quickly waved their swords together.
A large amount of nearby great cosmos force hurled towards the governing gods.
Sword light engulfed the void in the blink of an eye and an intense atmosphere filled the air.
"This isn't good!"
All the eyes of the governing gods widened in shock.
Each one of them was well aware that they were no match for Warner and Emmet since they were the
dream team.
In the span of mere seconds, the great cosmos force slammed into two governing gods.
Two clouds of blood mist filled the air as their bodies exploded.
"Ah!"
Shrill cries left the spiritual souls of the two governing gods.
Tremendous great cosmos force rushed towards their spiritual souls,
making loud sounds echo in the battlefield.
"Help us!"
Two terrified spiritual souls desperately turned to the other governing gods for help.
Moving as one, the other governing gods dashed forward in an attempt to save them from the great
cosmos force.
Each of them was filled with so much fear that their faces turned ghostly pale.
As soon as Warner and Emmet joined hands, the tides of the battle turned.
"Damn it! This is all Austin's fault!
We could have taken on Warner and Emmet!"
one of the governing gods said angrily.
"Let's retreat!" a governing god said to the other governing gods through his spiritual sense.
Out of everyone in the group, he enjoyed the highest prestige.
"Got it!"
The other governing gods immediately agreed with his suggestion.
All of them already realized that it would be meaningless to continue this fight.
Beating Warner and Emmet when they were fighting alongside each other was a pipe dream.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without another word, the governing gods moved as one and quickly flew away.
Although Warner and Emmet wanted to stop the governing gods from escaping, it was impossible with
just the two of them. They could only watch as their opponents ran for the hills with their tails between
their legs one by one.
At some point, they just assumed that the governing gods of the four major forces would never have
the guts to set foot in the Ethereal World again.
After all, they already witnessed how powerful Warner and Emmet were as a team.
"There's another one left!"
Emmet declared as he narrowed his eyes on Austin.
"Master, what should we do now?
I can't believe that Emmet wants to hurt you. How about we work together and kill him?"
Warner secretly asked for Austin's opinion through his spiritual sense.
"Don't kill him.
He's still useful to me,"
Austin replied immediately.
It worried him that Warner might assault Emmet and take him out on the spur of the moment.
Having both Warner and Emmet would be a great asset, so he needed to keep Emmet alive to turn him
into his slave.
Especially now Warner was his slave who followed his every order unconditionally.
Knowing that Warner was on his side assured Austin that the duo wouldn't work together to deal with
him.
Alone, Emmet wasn't much of a threat to Austin.
"Don't worry. I'll go back and have a good rest.
Once I recover, I'll come right back. We'll subdue Emmet together then,"
Austin said to Warner through his spiritual sense after he gave the matter a moment's thought.
Since he knew that Warner was on his side, he believed it would be a piece of cake to eventually take
control of Emmet as well.
In his battles against the governing gods chasing after him, as well as against both Warner and Emmet,
Austin's body was shattered into pieces too many times.
Since Austin's body was strong and nearly indestructible,
physical injuries weren't actually fatal for him.
However, he still lost some blood essence and that quickly exhausted him.
After all, he had to fight against many governing gods who had infinite strength.
Although Austin was tough and powerful, he still needed to take a break to recover completely.
Moreover, the battle had inspired him, and he needed some time alone to digest everything.
"Yes, master,"
Warner replied dutifully.
Whoosh!
Austin rushed towards the entrance of the Heaven Valley.
"Go after him!
We can't let him get away.
That guy's far more dangerous than all the governing gods of the four major forces.
We almost died because of him!"
Emmet roared at Warner when he saw Austin run away.
Hate simmered beneath Emmet's skin at the mere thought of Austin and he wanted nothing more than
to see him dead at his feet.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Emmet moved to chase after Austin with all his strength.
However, Warner didn't move an inch.
'Are you kidding me? I would never lay a hand on my master,' he thought to himself as he looked at
Emmet's quickly disappearing figure.
"I can't hold on any longer. I have to heal myself.
My life will be in danger otherwise.
I received some serious injuries."
Warner excused his actions to Emmet through his spiritual sense.
When he heard this, Emmet's brows nearly reached his hairline.
'Warner must be really badly injured.
Austin hit both his body and spiritual soul several times,' Emmet thought to himself.
Without another thought, Emmet skidded to a stop in his tracks.
"Understood," he mumbled in low spirits.
Without Warner by his side, he knew that he couldn't do anything to Austin even if he managed to catch
up with him.
There was no question that Austin was more powerful than him.
Whoosh!
With the help of the Shadowless Movement, it only took Austin a couple of strides to exit the Ethereal
World. Once he got out, he quickly headed towards the Divine Sword Mountain.
Meanwhile, the governing gods had already long left the Ethereal World.
They were afraid that Warner and Emmet would come chasing at their heels.
Fear filled them at the sheer power Warner and Emmet displayed in the earlier battle.
Soon, Austin reached the Divine Sword Mountain and immediately began to heal himself.
Finally, the Sword Cosmos was silent.
Everyone knew that the Ethereal World was a dangerous forbidden place within the Sword Cosmos.
Most of the creatures in that place seldom ever met outsiders.
On the other hand, outsiders would rarely set foot in the Ethereal World unless it was truly necessary.
Basically, the Ethereal World was isolated from the outside worlds.
Most creatures didn't know about the events happened in the Ethereal World at all.
Of course, some powerful beings or especially talented prophets had their own ways to find out what
happened within the walls of the Ethereal World.
Although they realized that a battle had taken place, they mostly kept it to themselves.
At the same time,
there was another world in the Sword Cosmos.
Brilliant blade light filled the air within the world.
A long time ago, it was taken by the people of the Blade Cosmos.
On a huge continent within the darkest depths of the world,
was a towering mountain.
A huge palace settled within its heart.
Within the palace was a powerful figure sitting in the middle of a grand hall. Blade-shaped runes
enveloped every inch of him.
"Something happened in the Ethereal World.
A battle between governing gods took place in it recently.
At least twenty governing gods took part in the fight,"
a white-haired elder abruptly declared.
"What?
Are great changes taking place in the Ethereal World?"
All the other masters in the hall couldn't hide their shock when they heard his words.
"It's possible.
The Ethereal World is the eye of the Sword Cosmos.
It's much more important than the Divine Sword Mountain.
We have always wanted to take it.
There's a massive amount of great cosmos force in the eye of a supreme cosmos.
All that great cosmos force is priceless.
We are actually tasked to find a way to occupy the Ethereal World,"
the elder with white hair slowly explained.
"But Warner and Emmet are the sentry of that place.
Although they aren't real masters,
they're a nightmare to deal with once they fight together.
The four forces of the Sword Cosmos wanted to occupy the Ethereal World for eons, but their hands
are tied as long as Warner and Emmet are still alive.
If we want to take the Ethereal World, we'll have to face Warner and Emmet head on,"
one of the masters said.
