A second later, the outside of the Divine Sword Mountain was enveloped by a huge gust of pressure.
As a result, the space and time in the surrounding area ceased.
It looked like a painting but was exceedingly terrifying.
Inside the Divine Sword Mountain, Austin, Sword Son Curry, and the five sword spirits were frozen too,
but not from the effects of the pressure.
There was an unspoken thought in the air that they had been targeted by something.
"Let's stop talking about it,"
the old man in yellow robes told the others through his spiritual sense. Seriousness draped his face.
They had heard rumors but they hadn't expected the power of the road of reincarnation to be so strong.
They couldn't talk about it, let alone provoke it.
After a long time,
the pressure outside the Divine Sword Mountain dwindled and after a few more minutes, it disappeared
completely.
"I guess we really can't talk about it,"
the old man in yellow robes said, sighing.
"It's so strange. I have mentioned those three words many times before,
but nothing has ever happened,"
Austin said.
He was referring, of course, to the road of reincarnation.
"That's because you were weaker before.
There are many taboos in the world. Weak creatures can talk about them as much as they like and
nothing will happen.
However, the more powerful you are, the more serious the consequences will be when you discuss
taboos.
When powerful creatures talk about them, the energy and laws of the surrounding space and time will
very likely react,"
Sword Son Curry explained.
"That makes sense."
Austin nodded.
Sword Son Curry was right. Powerful creatures, especially governing gods, were able to master
advanced omnipotent skills. This allowed them to easily communicate with various types of energy and
laws in the surrounding space and time and affect or even change the surrounding space and time.
Just the words they uttered caused the laws to follow.
"Austin, don't stress yourself worrying about it.
You will understand one day,"
the old man in yellow comforted.
He didn't mention the words "road of reincarnation" anymore for fear that it would cause some
unknown existence to react.
"Okay."
Austin nodded.
"Sirs, I'm leaving now,"
he said.
"Austin, what are you going to do next?"
Sword Son Curry asked.
"I'm going to take care of some unsolved problems,"
Austin answered.
"Austin, are you ready?"
Sword Son Curry asked in a voice laced with anxiety.
He had read between the lines and knew that Austin was going to have the final battle with the four
major forces.
If Austin wanted to truly rule the Sword Cosmos, he had to defeat the four major forces and take them
as his subordinates.
"Don't worry, sir. I know that I'm capable of.
Besides, they are restless. It can't wait any longer,"
Austin explained.
"All right. Be careful.
Your safety is the most important thing,"
Sword Son Curry reminded him.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm tough. The four major forces will have a hard time hurting me."
Austin reassured him with a smile.
"Austin, don't be overconfident.
The four major forces have ruled the Sword Cosmos a long time, giving them a deep foundation here.
They deserve the reputation that they have.
If you push them too hard, they will fight harder and go down with you.
Remember, if you find yourself in a sticky situation, let us know immediately.
We will help you,"
the old man in yellow said to Austin.
"Thank you for your concern, sir,"
Austin said gratefully.
"Sirs, I'm leaving."
After exchanging goodbyes, Austin cupped his hands, turned around, and left the Divine Sword
Mountain.
Meanwhile,
in the Sword Cosmos, many spiritual senses stretched from the distant space and time and watched
the Divine Sword Mountain closely.
The moment that Austin walked out of the Divine Sword Mountain, he was discovered.
"All right! It's time to fight.
This battle will determine everything!"
Austin shouted as he surveyed the sky with his sharp eyes.
He knew that the governing gods of the four major forces and the Blade Cosmos were watching and
waiting for him to expose himself.
Dozens of powerful spiritual senses had already targeted the space and time where he was and were
in a rush to
reach him and begin the final battle.
After leaving the Divine Sword Mountain, Austin walked in the void step by step with his hands behind
his back, constantly passing through worlds.
The whole time, he could feel the powerful spiritual senses tailing him.
The pressure from them spread until it filled the whole Sword Cosmos.
"A terrible battle is about to begin!"
a creature said in a low voice.
In fact, all the creatures in the Sword Cosmos had sensed the deathly silence that came before the
storm.
"All right, men. This is it. We must do everything we can to kill Austin!"
"If we can't kill Austin today, we are out of chances!
We must kill him even if we have to make a great sacrifice to do so!"
In the void, the powerful cultivators were trying to rile up their armies.
They quietly passed through the void and approached Austin.
Austin's head kept swiveling and a constant sneer was on his face. He was ready to fight.
"Austin, you finally have the guts to show up.
I thought you might hide forever,"
a cold voice said. Austin turned and saw a dazzling figure appear in front of him. It was a middle-aged
man in a white robe.
Every inch of his body emitted bright sword-light with a piercing killing intent. Austin had to squint his
eyes but
he still recognized the middle-aged man as a reclusive elder from the Flying Immortal Sword Sect.
"You thought I was hiding from you? You really overestimate yourself,"
Austin said in a flat tone.
"You speak of yourself. You are the arrogant one, Austin,
and you have to pay for your arrogance,"
the middle-aged man said in a murderous tone.
"Really?
You seem unconvinced of my strength. I say we fight to settle this!"
Without saying anything else, Austin rushed forward with his sword in his hand.
Clang...
From it, hundreds of millions of sword-lights rushed forward in gigantic waves.
"Take this!"
The middle-aged man charged from the other side with a long, narrow white sword in each of his
hands.
Clang!
The two attacks collided with each other, producing a deafening sound.
"Soul-cleansing Skill!"
Austin screamed, activating his spiritual sense.
Immediately, invisible, colorless law chains twirled around the head of the middle-aged man. Within
seconds, they dove downward and penetrated deep into his Soul Sea.
The mysterious law chains were quite strange and hard to see.
Not even the governing gods could note their existence straight away.
What was even more terrifying was that the mysterious law chains released a thick, black mist.
The black mist had strong corrosive power.
With just one touch, it would corrode any memories, emotions, will, consciousness, and thoughts of a
spiritual soul.
Any spiritual soul touched by the black mist would immediately fall into confusion.
"What's going on?"
the middle-aged man yelled. Looking down at his body, he felt a wave of dizziness washed over him
and he began to lose his consciousness.
Shocked, he took several steps backwards.
Swoosh!
A small black sword rushed out of Austin's Soul Sea and headed directly for the middle-aged man's
spiritual soul at high speed.
It was the God-slaying Sword!
Austin had used two spiritual soul attacking skills in one move—the Soul-cleansing Skill and the God-
slaying Sword.
The middle-aged man yelled out in fear and spun around, running for his life.
He was one of the strongest members in the Flying Immortal Sword Sect
and he had wanted to fight Austin first in order to test his strength.
But he hadn't expected Austin to take him down in a single move.
"You have no way to escape!"
Austin shouted. There was no way he would let him go so easily. He raced over and chopped the
middle-aged man's body into pieces using his sword.
"No! Get him! Work together!"
A loud roar came from afar.
Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!
Suddenly, several figures with fierce auras were rushing towards Austin from all directions.
Soon, the air was swimming with sword auras and blade lights of overwhelming brightness.
The decisive battle was about to begin!
All the creatures in the Sword Cosmos already felt suffocated and antsy for it to end.
