For many days, Austin and Julian wandered around several places within the three thousand big and
small universes.
At this time, Austin found out that the hundreds of primitive gifted beast and the chaotic sky-devouring
beast had already left the Sea of Chaos and returned to the Absolute Space Sea.
After all, the Absolute Space Sea was like a paradise to them. They could do anything they wanted
there and there were a lot of things that could keep them entertained.
Furthermore, they treated the Absolute Space Sea as their hometown. They were more comfortable
staying in a place like that.
Therefore, although they had already come to the Sea of Chaos, they still couldn't help but go back to
the Absolute Space Sea and stay there for a brief period once in a while.
Austin understood well their reasons.
"Well, I guess it's time to check on the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints."
In the past, Austin visited the Divine Tomb occasionally.
"I still didn't expect that the Divine Tomb would reappear here in the three thousand big and small
universes again.
If I have to guess, it must be the idea of the two savage evil beasts," Austin speculated.
All along, he was a little surprised that the Divine Tomb reappeared like this.
Currently, everybody could already see it with their naked eyes.
A while back, the Divine Tomb hid from everyone when Humphrey destroyed the three thousand big
and small universes. Due to its supreme magical power, no ordinary creature could detect it no matter
how hard they tried. But now, it had completely reappeared.
"Julian, you can go back home now.
You have been out with me for quite a long time. I bet that your mom already missed you so much.
We don't want her to worry," Austin said to his son.
Since he was planning to go to the supreme universe where the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints
were currently staying, he decided that it would be better if Julian wasn't with him.
He still had many enemies in that supreme universe, thus he didn't want to put his son's life at risk.
"Okay, dad. I'll go home now. Please take care."
It didn't bother Julian that his father asked him to go home. He had already spent a lot of time with
Austin and he also missed his mother very well.
After saying goodbye, the boy went back to the Fallen Immortal Cosmos on his own.
At the same time, Austin didn't leave until he saw with his own eyes that his son had safely returned to
their home. After a while, he headed for the Divine Tomb and strode directly into the depths of it.
Outside the palace, Austin immediately saw the two beasts, which acted like its guardians.
Austin speculated that these two beasts were fulfilling some kind of duty, so they couldn't leave this
place yet.
At this point, Austin already knew that the two beasts were actually members of the savage evil beast
race.
This race was a species of the primitive gifted beasts that had a much longer history than any of the
other species. It could also be said that it was the pioneer race of the primitive gifted beasts.
Since the two savage evil beasts had been guarding the entrance of the palace for too long, it would
only make sense that the palace had an extraordinary origin.
Austin also suspected that maybe the palace could have been the residence of their former master.
That was why they were guarding it very closely.
However, in the end, these were just Austin's speculations. Only the two beasts could give the reason
why they were still lurking at this place.
Without delay, Austin walked up and greeted the two beasts.
"My honor to see you, dear sirs.
Is there a way that I can see my friends inside?"
Austin asked politely.
"All right. Let me escort you to them,"
one of the beasts nodded and answered in a low voice.
Then, the beast moved and accompanied Austin into the palace.
After a brief moment of walking, they finally arrived in front of a huge stone wall.
Inside this enormous stone wall was actually a supreme universe.
And right now, the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints were inside that supreme universe.
"I wonder how the nine of them were progressing.
They must be working really hard," Austin uttered with a faint smile.
"You can now go in by yourself.
With your current strength, I'm sure that you can freely move in this supreme universe. You don't need
to worry about any threat."
After saying this, the beast turned around and quickly left.
The last time Austin entered the supreme universe within the stone wall, his strength was still relatively
weak.
But now, he was confident enough with the current level of his martial arts skills.
Hence, without any hesitation, Austin entered the stone wall and traversed into the supreme universe.
Upon entering, he encountered a seemingly endless void.
Then, after entering the supreme universe, Austin immediately contacted the gnome and the Eight
Stone Saints by sending them a message.
He also released his spiritual sense to perceive everything within the universe.
"It seems like nothing really changed here. It's just about the same as before,"
Austin murmured to himself with a faint smile.
Although soon enough, he felt that there was something unusual going on.
As soon as he entered the universe, he had already sent a message to the gnome and the Eight Stone
Saints. But up until now, he didn't receive any response from them.
It indeed was a bit puzzling.
After all, at Austin's current strength, the message he sent was supposed to arrive at its destination in
an instant.
Thus, the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints should have given their replies by now.
With this, Austin started to think that they failed to do so because something happened to them.
Austin had a bad feeling about this. He was so sure that they wouldn't delay their response on purpose,
so there must have been an unforeseen reason.
Therefore, he immediately unleashed his spiritual sense again to search for the gnome and the Eight
Stone Saints in the vast supreme universe.
At the same time, Austin activated his bodily movement skill and ran through the universe at lightning
speed.
With the combination of his powerful spiritual sense and his speed, he estimated that he should be able
to scan every corner of the supreme universe in just a short amount of time.
Then, a moment later, he spotted something out of the ordinary.
"What is that?
Why do I sense a lot of people over there?!"
Out of nowhere, Austin found that a crowd of creatures from both the face race and the wood puppet
race were gathered on a certain world of the supreme universe. All of them swarmed together to cover
every inch of a huge continent.
Austin exerted his spiritual sense to examine this land further and later found out that it was being
covered by more than a dozen huge arrays.
To his dismay, the arrays were blocking off his spiritual sense, so he couldn't penetrate the area inside
them.
"Hmm. I guess these arrays were constructed through ultimate laws.
No wonder they are so powerful. I can't get past them."
Austin determined that these arrays were made up of ultimate laws, and their power easily prevented
him from perceiving the area inside them with his spiritual sense.
In this supreme universe, only the supreme grandmasters of the wood puppet race and the face race
were able to master the ultimate law.
Hence, it clearly meant that they were the ones responsible for establishing these arrays.
'If they aren't answering my messages, it should mean that they were trapped somewhere inside those
arrays.
Damn it! I must be the reason why they were imprisoned there.
After all, the wood puppet race and the face race would only join their forces because of me.'
Austin clenched his fist upon pondering this thought.
It seemed that after he left the supreme universe, the gnome and the Eight Stone Saints became the
target of both races. Since they wanted information about Austin's whereabouts, they targeted his
friends who might have the answer.
"Humph! This never occurred to me!
The wood puppet race and the face race are going to regret this.
No one lays a hand on my comrades!" Austin sneered with a cold expression on his face.
In an instant, Austin showed himself up and strode directly towards the continent.
"What is that?
It looks like a human..."
"Wait! That guy looks very familiar!"
The members of the wood puppet race and the face race quickly noticed Austin's arrival. They couldn't
help but feel surprised that he actually appeared.
"It's him. It's the human that we've been looking for all these years!"
"Yes, there's no doubt about it!"
"That's right. I saw him up close the last time when he was here.
Finally! All our waiting has paid off!"
As soon as they confirmed that it really was Austin, the members of the wood puppet race and the face
race were fired up.
They had been waiting for him for a long time, and now they thought that they could finally exact their
revenge.
"Report this to the supreme grandmaster at once!"
Both the members of the wood puppet race and the face race burst into wild laughter after seeing the
young man approach their territory out of his own volition.
