In just a brief moment, Austin was able to empty dozens of divine mountains in a row.
Just like the previous ones, these divine mountains were full of various kinds of precious treasures.
In the past, the members of the Ximen Clan from different generations did their best to find them and
gather all of them into their ancestral land.
But in the blink of an eye, almost all of them fell in Austin's hands.
"I've got to admit, the Ximen Clan deserves to be one of the major forces in the Sword Cosmos. These
collections are all excellent!"
Austin uttered with deep satisfaction.
"Austin, stop it! Have you no shame?"
"You disgusting bastard!"
As expected, angry roars were heard from the ancestral coffin of the Ximen Clan when they saw what
the young man was doing.
The governing gods were extremely infuriated to see that their sacred land was being robbed and
desecrated while they couldn't do anything to stop it.
"Why are we experiencing this punishment?"
Some of the governing gods just shook their heads out of frustration.
"What are we doing? Let's go out and fight that brat!"
One of the governing gods wasn't able to control his anger. He intended to rush out and confront Austin
with everything he had.
"Calm down!
We are too inferior to him for the time being. You'll just waste your life if you go out there."
The patriarch of the clan knew exactly how they felt, but he needed to restrain them in order to protect
his people.
After all, the most important thing right now was the safety and existence of their clan.
As long as his people could survive this disastrous event and keep their lives, they still had the chance
to recover and eventually get their treasures back.
Therefore, the patriarch chose to not risk their lives in fighting Austin.
Besides, they all knew that he was right. They had experienced the might of the young man in person.
Right now, it was impossible for them to defeat Austin even if all the governing gods of the Ximen Clan
combined their full strength.
Many of his clansmen had already suffered heavy injuries from the hands of the young man earlier.
Thus, they didn't know what might happen if they were forced to fight a losing battle.
As they stayed put inside the ancestral coffin, time passed by quickly.
In just a few moments, Austin had successfully robbed a large number of divine mountains.
All in all, there were more than three hundred divine mountains within the ancestral land of the Ximen
Clan.
Currently, Austin had already emptied more than a hundred of these divine mountains.
"This is good! I've gained too much! And there's still a lot more!"
Austin couldn't hide his excitement.
"No! Stop!"
"You greedy bastard!"
As time went by, the voices that could be heard from the ancestral coffin became more miserable.
Although they were still fuming in rage, they almost wanted to plead for the young man to stop.
Most of the governing gods were so vexed and looked depressed as well.
"I can't take this anymore! Are we just going to watch him do whatever he wants?"
one of the governing gods shouted in anger.
Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, violent energy surged like a tidal wave.
It turned out that this governing god couldn't subdue his fury any longer.
Even if he knew that the patriarch was doing this for their own good, he just couldn't accept the fact that
their noble clan would face this kind of humiliation.
"I said calm down! This is exactly what he wants!"
The patriarch of the clan did his best to handle the situation.
"Ha-ha! Why are you stopping them? If they want to fight me, then come over here and I'll entertain
them!"
Austin burst into laughter as he provoked the governing gods in the ancestral coffin.
At this moment, he was standing on top of a divine mountain.
He had just finished plundering the mountain and was greatly satisfied.
"Well, today's harvest was better than what I initially thought!"
Austin said as he let out a grin that was almost from ear to ear.
However, at the same time, thunder-like noises suddenly filled the area.
As Austin looked at where they were coming from, he noticed that they were from the direction of the
ancestral coffin.
In the depths of the void, the ancestral coffin had started to roar and emit terrifying waves of energy.
Then, a loud and stern voice resounded out of nowhere.
"That's enough, you insolent brat! Those are the treasures of the Ximen Clan. No outsider is allowed to
have them!"
The reverberating voice was accompanied by an overwhelming power that pervaded the entire space.
Then, the next moment, several mysterious runes spread out in all directions.
They looked like colorful snowflakes, but they contained a deadly aura.
In the blink of an eye, all of the divine mountains in the ancestral land of the Ximen Clan responded
and resonated with the mysterious runes.
With this, all of the divine mountains soared up into the sky. They instantly shrank until they became
the size of a human fist. And like a swarm of fish, they swiftly rushed towards where the ancestral coffin
was.
In just a flash, all the towering divine mountains scattered around disappeared.
At this point, only Austin could be seen standing out there in the empty space, dumbfounded of what
had just happened.
'What did they just do?'
Austin furrowed his brows and was at a loss for words.
Up until now, about half of the total number of the divine mountains in the ancestral land was already
emptied by Austin.
But then, to his surprise, all the divine mountains suddenly disappeared together with all the treasures
they contained.
When the divine mountains flew into the coffin, Austin instantly knew that he had no chance of
acquiring the remaining treasures anymore.
"Oh, well.
It's my entire fault. I became too relaxed and thought that I can do this for as long as I want.
I'm sure that if I did it faster, I might have taken almost everything."
Austin felt a little disappointed about not getting everything. It was actually his chance to take it all and
provide a massive amount of treasures for the development of the Curry Sword Sect.
"This is so amazing!
It's our ancestors' power and they saved the remaining treasures of the Ximen Clan!"
A burst of hearty laughter eventually resounded from the ancestral coffin.
Of course, each one of the governing gods was filled with joy and relief.
"Austin, your time is up!
You dared look down on us and this is what you get!"
"The Ximen Clan has a profound history, and you're just a young lad. How dare you just march in here
and disrespect us?"
Inside the coffin, the governing gods of the Ximen Clan could finally vent out their anger and frustration
since they felt like they were saved for now.
It seemed like the previously overwhelming grievance and resentment had been gone.
"Well, yeah. I shouldn't have underestimated the Ximen Clan. That's on me."
Austin let out a bitter smile as his eyes were fixed on the void in the distance, where the ancestral coffin
was situated.
"The senior members of the Ximen Clan would not pose a threat to me anymore.
However, I don't think that I can do anything to them if they were inside that mysterious coffin,"
Austin softly uttered to himself.
"I don't know why all of you are laughing. You should actually be ashamed of yourselves.
I have emptied about half of all the divine mountains here in your ancestral land, and you're not going
to get it back ever.
Well, I'm satisfied with what I've looted today.
Since I know that all of you cowards will just stay cooped up in there, I'll be taking my leave now.
Don't worry. I'll come back when I have the time to play with you again. I'm expecting a warm
welcome," Austin sneered.
He then turned around and eventually rushed out of the ancestral land. In a few seconds, he already
disappeared without a trace.
Soon after, dead silence finally fell within the ancestral land of the Ximen Clan.
After quite a long time of waiting, a voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Patriarch, I think Austin has really left."
"That's right.
I can't feel his aura anymore.
It means that monstrous brat is gone!"
All of a sudden, voices filled with excitement and relief were heard from within the coffin.
During this long battle, the strongest cultivators of the Ximen Clan realized how astounding the power
of the young man was.
In the end, Austin exerted too much pressure on them that they all needed to retreat to save their lives.
"Let's wait a little more. Don't be too rash.
That guy is a sneaky bastard. We can't get out until we completely confirm that he has really left the
ancestral land,"
the patriarch declared in a low voice.
Obviously, he was afraid that Austin was still hiding somewhere outside and was just waiting for them
to come out.
As they waited some more, half a day eventually passed.
"Patriarch, I think that Austin has left already."
one of the governing gods said.
"Well, yes. I think so too.
All right, let's go out."
Finally, the patriarch made up his mind and gave the order.
Just to be sure, the senior members of the Ximen Clan came out first. They slowly got out and
exercised extreme caution, checking whether they would whiff a hint of Austin's presence.
"We're sure now.
Austin has already left.
There's no sign of him everywhere.
Everybody, you can come out now!"
the patriarch commanded.
Upon hearing this, the people of the Ximen Clan gradually came out of the coffin.
"Damn that bastard! The Ximen Clan will not be satisfied until that brat is killed!"
Looking at the mess Austin had inflicted in their ancestral land, the governing gods couldn't help but
curse and roar to the sky.
Meanwhile,
Austin had already left the Ximen World and was heading for the Ethereal World.
With his incredible bodily movement skill, it didn't take him much time to reach his destination.
About a moment later,
Austin had finally arrived at the Ethereal World.
"Master!"
Warner and Emmet immediately welcomed Austin as soon as he arrived.
"Come on! I have harvested a lot this time. We'll use these resources to boost the development of the
Curry Sword Sect."
Without wasting any time, Austin waved his hand and released all the treasures he acquired in front of
Warner and Emmet.
Swoosh!
In an instant, a massive amount of treasures piled up into mountains. The two slaves were awestruck
as they stared into an endless mound of treasures.
Even if they were just about half of the total treasures of the Ximen Clan, they were still extremely
overwhelming.
There were just too many treasures to count them one by one.
"Wow! There are so many!"
Warner and Emmet were both surprised and pleased with all the sparkling and precious treasures in
front of them.
"This should be enough for now, but the Curry Sword Sect needs a lot of resources to stand atop of the
entire Sword Cosmos.
So, I will definitely bring back more in the future. After all, it's better to have abundant than be lacking.
That way, each and every member of our sect won't need to worry about cultivation resources ever!"
Austin declared with beaming confidence.
