Austin stood as an image of power astride the chariot that led the entire troop.
"So this is the Blade Cosmos. It seems that overall, its strength is indeed above our Sword Cosmos'
own,"
Austin said nodding as they entered the Blade Cosmos, looking around and taking it all in.
"Well, no matter how powerful it is, it will fall to our Sword Cosmos in the end,"
Austin added with a sneer.
"Move out!
To war! Conquer the Blade Cosmos and make it ours!"
Austin raised his arm and bellowed his battle cry and the army behind him charged forward like a
torrent of cold steel, leaving countless worlds trembling in their wake.
"Attack!"
The army spread out like a wild flood. Crisp, bright light shone from their iron-clad bodies and the
immense murderous aura that came off them sent the supreme universe falling into despair.
The slaughter had begun. Three hundred reincarnation slaves led the charge and rushed into different
worlds, crazed to kill every creature they came across!
"Ahhh!"
Shrill cries rang out one after another as the blade cultivators had their heads sliced off and thrown
aside before they knew what was happening.
Blood spurted high and all over. More blade cultivators than could be counted fell, lifeless, into pools of
blood, their faces petrified with looks of confusion and resentment.
"Who the hell are you? Where have you come from?"
"Why are you slaughtering us Blade Cosmos creatures?"
These were just some of the things the blade cultivators screeched hysterically before they died; those
who had the chance to screech at least.
But their squealing and protesting did nothing for them. Suddenly, a dazzling sword light flashed. The
stunned look on their face froze and another dead body fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
The Sword Cosmos' force had attacked out of nowhere.
There were three hundred reincarnation slaves and dozens of native governing gods of the Sword
Cosmos in the army.
The Blade Cosmos was expectedly blindsided and overwhelmed. No world could resist an attack like
this.
In less than a moment, an entire world could be completely occupied.
And to add to the Sword Cosmos ferocity, every living being on their force hated the Blade Cosmos
with every fiber in their bodies. They regarded them as mortal enemies and would never show them
even a speck of mercy.
Their families, lovers, friends and disciples had all been killed by the Blade Cosmos.
This was their opportunity to avenge those who had died. How could they be softhearted now?
They fought and murdered without care for their own lives, operating with the single-minded task of
killing their enemies. Nothing else mattered so long as they died.
Wherever the troop went, no world in the Blade Cosmos was given even the slightest chance at
resistance.
Their force seemed invincible. Every single one of them emanated a bloodthirsty aura that sent chills
down their victim's spines.
"Kill!"
"You bastards! Today is the last day you will ever see!"
"For our dear fallen loved ones!"
The army ran through the cosmos fueled by a deep-seeded hatred. Wherever they went, they left no
survivors. Even many mortals were not safe.
Every bit of ground they passed was dyed red with blood. The difference in the battle forces of the two
sides was clear. But this was no battle, it was a massacre!
Many of the dead creatures of the Blade Cosmos lost their lives before they even knew what had come
for them or what was happening.
"Master!
We have conquered thirty worlds!"
Emmet reported to Austin.
He wore a silver armor, shining coldly where it wasn't stained with beads of blood.
Warner and Emmet's strength had improved greatly over the years. They had learned to absorb and
purified the chaotic great cosmos force in the eye of the cosmos and Austin had entrusted them to
cultivate that secret skill together.
As a result, they had become two governing gods.
But their fighting power was much stronger than any ordinary governing god, thanks to their ability to
absorb the great cosmic force.
They were now Austin's two right-hand men.
"It's a good start, although the real war has not yet begun," Austin said slowly, his thoughts far away.
He was staring at the center of the Blade Cosmos, where a dangerous aura existed, prevailing over all
else around it. It felt like a horrible beast, lurking and ready to prey on anything that approached it!
"Tell them to kill only the cultivators, not the innocent mortals,"
Austin said to Emmet after a moment of contemplation.
They may have come for revenge, but Austin was not one to thirst for blood unnecessarily.
He did not want innocent people killed.
Emmet relayed the order immediately
and the troops ceased killing the mortal creatures.
Instead, only blade cultivators fell at their hands.
They continued advancing and attacking frantically. Every second a large number of creatures died.
"Where did you come from, you monsters?"
"Why did you come here, to our homeland, to slaughter us all?"
Many blade cultivators cried out in terror and grief before they died. They fell to the ground, their bodies
swimming in blood, beside their fellow disciples, relatives and friends.
This didn't slow the attacks of the Sword Cosmos in the slightest. Instead, it seemed to spur them on
and only make them crazier to kill.
"Master! We have occupied one tenth of the Blade Cosmos,"
one of the soldiers reported.
"All right, let's establish a headquarters within our new territory.
The war has begun,"
Austin said with an ominous tone that spoke of horrors to come.
They followed his order and built a headquarters quickly and without a fuss.
And inside it, was an enormous palace.
In the hall,
Austin, Warner, Emmet and some senior leaders of the troop were in a meeting.
"Master, I have figured out the basic layout of the Blade Cosmos. This map shows the whole cosmos."
Emmet got to his feet and waved his hand. A huge crystal screen then appeared in the hall for all to
see.
The screen showed all the realms of Blade Cosmos clearly and in detail.
Warner then stood up and gave his report, "Master, I've sent a large number of spies to the worlds we
haven't conquered to see what we can learn from them.
Just now,
I received some news that the Blade Cosmos' forces are gathering quickly.
It appears they will show up sometime soon.
It's said that Donovan is furious with our invasion. He had just begun to cultivate in seclusion but had to
abandon it, and is now organizing his soldiers and armies to fight back.
I believe he will make himself known in no time at all.
We'd best be prepared."
"It doesn't matter who he's gathering. All this is expected," Austin said.
"Donovan is the only one we really need to be wary of," he went on.
"You deal with the Blade Cosmos' armies, I'll take care of him."
Austin had made his decision and his will would be carried out.
