A moment later, a huge universe community suddenly appeared in front of Austin, and he instantly
perceived the strong demonic aura that was surging from within it.
However, its situation was very similar to that of the Demon City. In the chaotic void, many tattered
cosmoses were floating as if they were broken bird nests.
"It seems that this place was also destroyed by Humphrey.
The beast race used to be the most powerful force in the Sea of Chaos. I didn't expect that it would end
up like this.
Damn it. This only proved how terrifying Humphrey could be,"
Austin murmured to himself as he shook his head and looked at the pitiful state of the universe
community.
Curious about it, he entered the Beast City and walked through the broken cosmoses. He actually
wanted to know and deduce the details on how Humphrey managed to destroy this place.
"What is the meaning of this?"
As Austin found out something unusual, his heart skipped a beat.
"How could this happen?
The place was badly damaged, but there are no signs of fighting.
Judging from the bodies lying around, only a few members of the beast race died here.
Then,
where are the rest?"
Austin had a lot of questions after seeing the situation inside the Beast City.
While it was true that almost every cosmos was decimated, there was no smell of blood at all.
Logically speaking, if the entire beast race actually perished in the hands of Humphrey, there should be
a lot of flesh and blood around, as well as fragments of broken spiritual souls.
However, there wasn't any, and that was really suspicious.
"I can only think of one explanation. The beast race must have already moved out before Humphrey
arrived here and destroyed everything."
Austin concluded.
"But there is still something strange going on here."
Austin's eyes rested on a certain space deep within the Beast City.
With his spiritual sense, Austin found out that there was an abnormal energy fluctuation in the space
and it was being transmitted out.
It was very subtle and difficult to notice if one didn't have a very strong spiritual sense.
In fact, only someone at the caliber of Austin could perceive it.
Even Humphrey must have not noticed this when he came here.
After all, Humphrey's spiritual sense was actually a bit inferior to Austin's.
Then, Austin decided to approach this spot where he saw the energy fluctuation.
"Hmm. There is something hidden in here."
With a faint smirk on his face, Austin used his spiritual sense to closely examine the vicinity where the
energy fluctuation was occurring.
Then, space runes floated out from his hands and scattered into the surrounding space.
About a minute later, he was able to finally confirm something.
"What a brilliant array! I was almost deceived by it!"
Austin found a well-hidden magic array nearby, where a cosmos was situated.
'It seems that the members of the beast race escaped to this secret cosmos so that they could hide
from Humphrey,'
Austin thought as he narrowed his eyes.
He was actually thinking if it was the legendary Beast Den.
Long before, Austin had already heard of a mysterious place called Beast Den within the Beast City.
It was said that most of the important resources and great masters could be found there.
'Is there a way that I can pass through this array and enter that cosmos?'
Austin wondered.
Wasting no time, he immediately activated the power of the laws of space and time while he steadily
walked towards the magic array.
Boom!
Immediately after, a slight vibration was heard, and a faint array suddenly emerged, blocking off
Austin's way.
"Do you think I can't break this?"
Austin took action and tried to vanquish the array. He unleashed all kinds of laws that could possibly
help him break the array such as the laws of reincarnation, space, time, and causality.
At the same time, he also released his sword energy and summoned the great cosmos force to attack
the magic array.
Then, he also activated the Reincarnation Token and locked the array, intending to forcibly teleport
himself into it.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the magic array continued to glow as the demonic aura surged from it. It constantly
released powerful energy that attempted to block off the body of the intruder.
Inside this array, there was a cosmos which looked like the bird's nest from which a vicious demonic
aura was coming.
And Austin was actually right. This was where one could find the most mysterious place in the Beast
City—the Beast Den.
Due to the loud rumbling outside, the powerful creatures residing inside the Beast Den were awakened.
They hurriedly activated their omnipotent vision skills to see what was going on outside.
"What? It's Austin!
How could this guy discover the Beast Den? This is such a well-hidden area!"
"This brat is really troublesome! He still came here to make trouble for us?!"
"Damn it. If he was able to discover the location of the Beast Den, it means that he currently possesses
such an amazing spiritual sense! Nothing could be hidden from him!"
As they cursed in panic, they all came out from the places where they cultivated to check the situation.
"No one needs to worry. Even Humphrey would have a hard time breaking the magic array outside.
After all, it was created and left behind here by our powerful ancestors. We don't need to worry and be
afraid of Austin.
Let him do whatever he likes. He would just waste his time, effort, and energy. He won't be able to
break it anyway,"
a strong man with a dense demonic aura said.
"No. We can't just let him be!
Even if he can't break the magic array, but he continued to make trouble like this, chances are other
people might also discover our location. Worst, Humphrey might discover us,"
an old man with a crutch explained.
"That's right. If he continued to hit the array, Humphrey might notice it and he might also come!"
Just the thought of it sent shivers down the spines of the members of the beast race.
With this, they admitted how serious the consequences would be if they didn't do anything about
Austin.
Humphrey had been searching for the beast race all this time. He might have destroyed the universe
community, but he knew that they were still out there somewhere.
Now, if he knew that they were just hiding somewhere within the Beast City, he would certainly come
and deal with them.
It was known to all how dreadful Humphrey's strength was, and even the powerful masters of the beast
race didn't have the confidence that the magic array would hold out once Humphrey personally made
his moves.
"Then, what do you suggest? Are we going to go out and fight Austin?
This guy also seems to be very powerful. I'm afraid that even with us all, it would be difficult to defeat
him in a short amount of time.
And once the battle starts, we don't know how soon Humphrey would discover about this place and
rush over."
Someone gave his honest opinion.
"That's true. Although I hate to admit it, this guy would always surprise you. I don't think we can defeat
him that quickly."
Another powerful member affirmed the earlier statement.
Thus, at the moment, they found themselves in the middle of a huge crisis.
They knew that Austin wouldn't stop attempting to break the array so one thing they could do was to
confront and stop him head-on. Otherwise, they would be in bigger trouble.
But at the same time, they were also fully aware that Austin's strength wasn't something to be trifled
with.
With just the amount of time required to deal with him, it was an impossible task.
Once they started fighting, it would also mean louder noises that could possibly attract Humphrey's
attention.
At this point, they were now at their wits' end.
"Well, that leaves us with only one choice. We have to go out, talk with Austin, and offer a truce for the
time being.
In the past, we only had conflicts with him because we were competing for the ruling power for the Sea
of Chaos.
But now, the situation has already changed. Humphrey is now the biggest threat in all of the Sea of
Chaos.
So, what I'm suggesting is that we make peace with Austin and ask him to join hands with us with our
battle against Humphrey,"
the old man with the crutch proposed without hesitation.
He was actually a reclusive elder of the beast race and held a very high status.
"Yeah. We also can't think of anything better."
The rest eventually nodded and agreed with the plan.
Indeed, in the past years, the situation in the Sea of Chaos had undergone a huge change.
In the past, Austin and several super forces fought each other for the hegemony of the entire Sea of
Chaos.
But now that Humphrey had appeared, things got pretty messed up.
It could now be said that Humphrey had become the common enemy of all the super forces, including
Austin.
