At this particular moment, the entire universe became deathly silent. No one dared to speak, and the
creatures tried their best to hold their breaths.
Everyone who saw what just happened was utterly stunned. They couldn't believe what their eyes
witnessed.
Austin grabbed the governing god as if he was just a pebble along the road. There simply was no
effort.
Right now, all eyes were focused on the young man.
They were still in disbelief at what just happened and weren't sure if it was really true or not.
"Well, I think governing gods are not that powerful as people claimed to be,"
Austin said in a flat tone as he lifted the governing god in the air with one hand.
These words were heard by everybody. With a smirk on his face, he looked pretty arrogant and
domineering
When all the other creatures heard this, their hearts skipped a beat.
Dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, they were secretly guessing how terrifying Austin's
strength had really become.
In this fierce battle against the eight governing gods of the Long Sword Sect, Austin had actually
gained the upper hand so easily and even managed to restrain one of them effortlessly.
Obviously, such a feat was unprecedented in the Sword Cosmos.
Today's battle would be marked in the history of the cosmos and would surely be told to generations to
come.
As of now, it could be safely said that Austin was the most powerful warrior in the Sword Cosmos.
"Argh!
Let go of me, you imbecile!"
The governing god, who was still being held by Austin's hand, struggled desperately, feeling so
ashamed at his condition.
"Shut up, you weakling!" Austin shouted coldly.
Under the control of his mind, a massive amount of runic laws appeared and merged with the great
cosmos force. They eventually turned into a chain that entangled the governing god.
Without the strength to break free, he was tied up so tightly.
"Austin! How dare you do this to me? Let me go or you'll pay dearly for this!"
the governing god roared furiously. All he could do was to hurl empty threats because he couldn't do
anything to escape.
Swoosh!
Out of nowhere, his body began to burn intensely.
At the same time, streams of dense auras continuously spurted out of his body that eventually cut off
the chain that tied his whole body. However, Austin's hand was still tightly grabbing on him.
"Ha-ha. You're so desperate to escape that you'll burn your body intentionally?"
Austin let out an indifferent smile as he mocked the governing god.
With his outrageous stunt, the entire body of the governing god was badly injured. He used a self-
destructing method just to get out of Austin's grasp but still failed. Now, he had to pay the consequence
for his actions.
"Face us, Austin! Did you forget that we're still here?"
the seven governing gods roared at the same time and rushed over, trying to protect their comrade.
"Fine! I'll deal with you as well!"
Austin snapped back.
Boom! Boom!
Immediately after, boundless great cosmos force, sword energy, law energy, and even spiritual energy
dashed forward ferociously.
Each of these energies contained an overwhelming power that could exert tremendous pressure on all
these governing gods.
"Argh!"
The governing god in Austin's hand let out an agonizing scream. With all the damage inflicted on him,
he couldn't move even an inch anymore.
He was actually almost an immortal being, but he felt that he was about to die.
With Austin suppressing him, he was rendered motionless. All he could do was screaming at the top of
his lungs.
"If you're not going to do anything, just shut the hell up. Your voice is irritating me!"
Eventually, the governing god had lost all strength to resist. Austin then sent the governing god into one
of his human worlds in his body.
"Are you seeing this?
Austin has completely restrained a governing god!
A governing god from one of the four major forces!"
"That's just too inconceivable!"
In the distance, the onlookers were in an uproar.
'Governing gods could actually be defeated?'
Most of these creatures couldn't help but wonder as they watched this mind-boggling scene.
In the past, a governing god was superior and invincible in every creature's eyes. That was how it had
been before Austin appeared.
Now, everyone saw with their own eyes that a supposedly omnipotent governing god could be trampled
upon. Moreover, the one who did this was a mere young man.
Thus, at this very moment, the status of the governing gods was changed drastically. They were no
longer untouchable in the eyes of these creatures.
"Austin! Release him right now!"
the leader of the Long Sword Sect roared in exasperation as he rushed towards the young man.
He wanted to save his comrade at all costs because losing a governing god would instantly reduce the
overall strength of a sect.
"Are you sure about this old man? It's your turn!"
Austin steadily walked up to the leader without any hint of panic.
"We won't let you have your way!"
The other six governing gods also charged at the same time. The seven of them released vicious auras
that were so dreadful and overbearing, making ordinary people feel suffocated.
"Ha! You really think that because you attacked me simultaneously, things will go your way?"
Austin chuckled and replied with a wicked grin on his face.
"Well, whatever. Come at me with all you've got.
After all, nothing would change. You'll just ridicule yourselves further,"
he added, provoking the governing gods all the more.
The very next moment,
Austin employed the Triple Avatar Skill.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, three identical versions of Austin appeared and roared to the sky. They unleashed a
superb aura that destroyed the barriers of time.
As they stood side by side, they emitted powerful momentum of the same intensity.
However, Austin wasn't finished yet.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than one hundred deities emerged one after another.
"You want a battle that involved numbers? Then, let's see how you handle this!"
Austin knew that their basic tactic was to overpower him by outnumbering him, so he answered back
with his powerful skill that would render their tactic useless.
"Attack!"
The three Austins as well as the deities let out a deafening roar and rushed forward with fiery
murderous intent.
In an instant, the seven governing gods were surrounded, and a fierce battle broke out.
"This is amazing! Who would have thought that Austin possessed such an incredible skill?"
The creatures who were watching from afar were appalled at the might of the young man. They didn't
expect that he was hiding a trump card that could instantly change the tide of the battle.
"There's no doubt about it. No one comes close to his talent and power!"
Some of the creatures couldn't hide their excitement as they watched how Austin was singlehandedly
fighting against these top governing gods.
"At this point, I don't think the governing gods of the Long Sword Sect will be able to do anything to
defeat the young man.
With his current strength, I can even see that he can suppress the whole Sword Cosmos by himself!"
"Well, it seems that the era of the four major forces ruling the Sword Cosmos is finally coming to an
end.
We should expect that the Sword Cosmos will enter the age of Austin's reign."
These kinds of conversations continued to circulate as the battle raged on.
At the same time, many high-level figures of some minor forces didn't waste any time and already
issued an order.
"Remember, from now on, no one will ever dare provoke the Curry Sword Sect, especially Austin!"
"Announce what I'm about to say! If anyone within our sect meets the people of the Curry Sword Sect,
he should treat them with respect. Those who will disobey this order will be outright expelled!"
These forces started acknowledging Austin's fighting power and didn't dare to go against him or the
Curry Sword Sect.
With what the young man had exhibited in dealing with the four major forces, they all felt a deep sense
of admiration.
"Finish them!"
Austin shouted sternly as he fought his enemies with the best of his abilities.
The backlash of the waves of energy that were created from the fierce battle shook the space and time
in an extremely large area. There were consistent exploding and rumbling in the battlefield that made
the scene looked frightening and fascinating at the same time.
Countless stars were shattered into pieces as if they were brilliant fireworks.
The destructive force that was brought upon by an all-out battle between masters at the level of
governing gods was otherworldly.
Boom! Boom!
All of a sudden, all of the governing gods were sent flying by Austin's attack.
As the battle dragged on, the more powerful he became. At this moment, the governing gods were
already on their knees, unable to stand up and fight back at all.
"Playtime's over, old bastards!"
Austin shouted and forcefully slashed his long sword, instantly cutting the body of one of the governing
gods into pieces.
"We have to retreat now! This isn't winnable!"
The leader of the Long Sword Sect finally admitted that their loss would only get greater if they
continued to fight the young man.
"He's a monster.
There's no way to defeat him with our current strength.
We have to stop this and regroup first,"
the leader said with a heavy heart.
The other governing gods knew that he was right and just remained silent.
Although they weren't willing to give up the fight and run away, they clearly had no other choice.
It would be worse if they lost their lives by attempting to fight a losing battle.
