"Okay, fine.
Let me see just how capable you are!"
Austin glared defiantly at the Hand of Heaven falling from the sky.
Austin would've definitely ran away if he were to encounter the Hand of Heaven before.
But now, things were different.
Now, Austin's strength had improved by leaps and bounds. He was much stronger than when he first
entered the Sword Cosmos.
"Come on! Fight me!"
Austin shouted, narrowing his eyes determinedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As though the Hand of Heaven heard Austin's taunts, it reacted in kind. Releasing even more powerful
energy, it rushed towards him at full speed.
Gritting his teeth,
Austin pulled every trick up his sleeve.
First, he immediately set up dozens of Time and Space Arrays to cover the space on which he stood,
layer by layer.
He also simultaneously set up dozens of other arrays
that enveloped the falling Hand of Heaven.
Last time, Donovan employed several arrays to trap Austin, which had taken him some time to break
out of.
Now, Austin used these very same arrays to deal with the Hand of Heaven.
"Kill it!"
With a thunderous roar, Austin brandished a long sword in his right hand and slashed towards the
Hand of Heaven.
At the same time, he activated the nine moves of the Reincarnation Sword Skill.
Every move Austin just made, together with his terrifying sword energy, rumbled towards the sky, one
after the other.
But Austin didn't stop there.
He waved his left hand. The blade energy in his body gushed out and condensed into a thick blade
radiance that slashed towards his target in the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The combined power of the thick blade radiance and the endless blade laws sliced space and time
themselves. The scene was so horrific, it was as though the world was coming to an end!
As though there wasn't enough chaos, Austin also used the law of reincarnation. The powerful law
energy surged like raging sea water reaching for the skies.
Then, a winding path appeared right at Austin's feet. It extended to a distant space and time.
This was Austin's sole escape route.
But before he even considered escaping,
Austin sent up one more final blow. Using his mind power, he condensed many mind swords, which
slashed upward.
It was impossible to dodge the mind sword. The Hand of Heaven slammed into the swords
unapologetically.
By now, Austin had played
almost all his cards.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blow by blow, each of Austin's attacks hit the Hand of Heaven violently. The explosions caused by the
collisions released terrifying amounts of energy rippling across the space.
"Master Austin's fighting power is absolutely frightening!"
"He must've been going easy on us all along.
Otherwise, we should be dead by now!"
The governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos turned pale with fright as they witnessed Austin unleash
unabated wrath on the Hand of Heaven.
"It's a good thing we chose to surrender to Master Austin,
lest our entire demon race be wiped out by him."
The governing gods of the Fiend Cosmos heaved sighs of relief, secretly overjoyed that they'd made
the right decision.
Boom!
In the chaotic void, the Hand of Heaven was shaken by the series of attacks it just suffered. It froze,
unable to make a move.
For a moment, it seemed the two sides were at a stalemate.
"What a terrible Hand of Heaven!"
Austin couldn't help but sigh in frustration.
He found that, although he could temporarily resist the attack of the Hand of Heaven, he could not
inflict much damage to it.
Despite using his strength to the fullest, he could only end in a draw with the Hand of Heaven.
He was keenly aware that if he kept this up,
he would definitely exhaust his power.
When that time came, this Hand of Heaven would undoubtedly gain the upper hand.
'Where did this Hand of Heaven come from?
Only one hand could have such terrifying strength... Is this the hand of a god of chaos?'
Austin shuddered at the thought.
'What if its real body shows up?'
"I never thought I'd see this set of Reincarnation Sword Skill again."
A thunderous voice suddenly echoed across the space. It seemed to come from the Hand of Heaven.
Then, it suddenly dawned on Austin
that the Hand of Heaven stopped attacking him, at least for the time being.
"Sir, who are you?"
Austin questioned the voice. Secretly, he was immensely excited that the Hand of Heaven had a mind
of its own.
"It seems that you are the successor of the reincarnation race.
Moreover, since you carry the Reincarnation Sword Skill, you must have obtained this from the
inheritance of Sousa.
I didn't expect I'd encounter the successor of the reincarnation race in this space sea.
Is the reincarnation race going to rebuild the Reincarnation Bridge here?"
The Hand of Heaven mumbled to itself, completely ignoring Austin's question.
'This Hand of Heaven seems to know a lot!'
Austin thought excitedly.
"Sir,
are you familiar with the reincarnation race?"
Austin inquired curiously.
"Legend has it that the reincarnation race will reappear in the world someday," the Hand of Heaven
mumbled.
"I used to doubt it...
After all, the reincarnation race had been annihilated, and the road of reincarnation, destroyed.
But now, it seems they found a way out of total extinction.
Truly, the reincarnation race was so powerful and magnificent.
I'm not surprised such a great force wasn't really destroyed."
Apparently, the mention of the reincarnation race triggered its memories.
"Sir!"
Austin shouted at the Hand of Heaven. He wanted to learn more about the reincarnation race.
"Even if you are the successor of the reincarnation race, I will still kill you."
The Hand of Heaven's voice suddenly turned hostile.
"Although I do not care much for the reincarnation race,
I am not afraid of them either.
I have to complete my mission."
As soon as it finished speaking,
a more terrifying energy emanated from the Hand of Heaven, lashing out towards Austin.
The Hand of Heaven had moved so fast that Austin barely had the time to dodge.
"Damn it!
Why are you in such a hurry?"
Feeling excruciating pain all over his body, Austin couldn't help but curse.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Once again, Austin used all his strength to attack. He used all kinds of martial arts skills to fight against
the Hand of Heaven.
This time around, the battle between the two was even more intense than the last.
"Wow! Master Austin is as powerful as the Hand of Heaven!"
In the Fiend Cosmos, all the creatures watched in awe.
It was their first time to see someone defy the Hand of Heaven, let alone match it in strength!
