"Are you looking for someone?
Here in this abyss?"
the voice asked curiously.
"Yes, I am."
Austin nodded his head immediately.
"So, who are you looking for? Don't be shy. Let me help you find them.
After all, I know everything that goes around here. This is my place,"
the voice expressed in a hospitable tone.
Austin, on the other hand, was taken aback by the voice's sudden willingness to help. But soon after,
he warmed up to the idea and answered, "All right, then. I guess it's not that hard to ask for help.
You see, I'm looking for the eight supreme leaders."
Waving his hand, he imitated how the eight supreme leaders of the eight branches of pilgrims looked
like, producing images floating in the air.
"Oh, you mean, those people.
Sure, I can help you with that. I'll give you their exact location pronto,"
the voice responded.
Not long after,
a piece of spiritual soul information hastily came out of the Abyss of Darkness' core area, directly
entering Austin's Soul Sea.
This information contained the whereabouts of the eight supreme leaders.
"Got it. Thank you, sir!"
Upon getting what he had just wanted, Austin could not help but smile from ear to ear out of pure joy.
"Come with me. I know where they are."
Again, Austin waved his hand. In a split second, he, together with the chaotic sky-devouring beast and
the primitive gifted beasts, rushed towards the destination.
Meanwhile,
the eight supreme leaders looked far and wide in search of a new hiding space with the people of the
eight branches of pilgrims.
However, there were just too many of them.
As a result, they did not move as fast as they intended.
"Sir!
The army of the livestock race is approaching us right now!"
one of the soldiers informed.
"Listen up! Move faster, everyone!"
King Tobian ordered at once.
"Take them and move away as fast as you can. Let me deal with those bastards!"
King Yates instructed the troops.
At that moment, he just could not bear it anymore. Soon after, he took out his trident bravely, ready to
fight with every ounce of courage he got.
"Suit yourself.
Just promise us that you'd be careful.
Now, all you need to do is attract their attention so we can manage to run away from them! Don't be
reckless!
Fighting them head-on won't do you any good.
The governing gods outnumber us! Moreover, their strength is not inferior to ours, either.
You can't win if you choose to fight them head-on,"
King Tobian warned in a worried tone.
With full confidence, he never doubted the power that King Yates held.
However, he was just too irritable.
Once something did not go the way he planned, he would easily grow berserk regardless of the
consequences.
"I know. Don't worry about it,"
King Yates said with a reassuring nod.
After his voice trailed off,
he took the trident and transformed into a black light that flew far away.
"Alas, I just hope he can be careful,"
King Tobian whined.
Afterwards, he ordered his men in a loud and stern voice,
"Speed up, everyone!"
On the other hand,
Austin was in a rush to walk towards the core area along with the chaotic sky-devouring beast and the
others.
Soon after, Austin gathered with the governing gods of the livestock race.
"You are here, young man. Finally!"
At that moment, some of the governing gods immediately greeted him as soon as they saw him.
"Come on, let's go. I know where they exactly are right now.
Come with me, and let's meet them in person,"
Austin said in a light tone.
"Are you sure you know where they are right now?"
Shocked, they were not really expecting that Austin would be certain with where they should go. They
looked at each other in disbelief but then proceeded to follow Austin closely.
All throughout the entire time, Austin's spiritual sense was locked on them.
As a result, they knew that they couldn't escape from this horrible young man, whatever they did.
However, there was a thought that scared them even more—they had a bad feeling tingling down their
spines that this man could kill them as easy as snapping a toothpick.
Certainly, everybody knew how difficult it was to kill a governing god for good.
Despite this, Austin had the ability to kill one, making him a terrifying being with immense power.
Furthermore, the chaotic sky-devouring beast and the hundreds of primitive gifted beasts also put great
pressure on the governing gods of the livestock race.
As a result, they became very obedient and dared not disobey Austin in any manner.
At all times, they would immediately do what was asked of them. No ifs, no buts.
After a while,
out of the blue,
a black light was seen approaching from afar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, a mass of black evil energy erupted completely.
Soon after, a black yaksha holding a trident in his hand emerged not far away, looking murderous as
ever.
"You bastards! Show yourselves and prepare to die today!"
He called their attention as he pointed at them with his trident. Not long after, two thick black light
columns shot out from his eyes, targeting Austin and his companions as if they were sharp swords
ready to tear his enemies apart.
"Come here and meet your death, livestock race!" he shouted once more.
Instantly, an army appeared behind the yaksha, each holding a weapon in their hands while exuding an
immense powerful aura.
"Ha ha, I guess nothing has changed, then. Good old King Yates is still as hot tempered as before."
With just a glance, Austin had recognized him even with just his silhouette.
"Ahem..."
A little embarrassed, the governing gods who stood next to Austin coughed a little.
If this happened in the past, they would have dashed forward and fought with the enemy without
hesitation.
But it seemed that things had changed now. In fact, none of them even dared make a sound at all. All
they could do at that moment was watching the scene in front of them as awkwardly as possible.
"What are you waiting for, you bastards? Why don't you come and fight us? What? Are you scared?"
King Yates roared once more, waving the trident in his hand again to catch their attention.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ignored by the enemy, he suddenly released a tremendous amount of energy from his body.
'Wow, it's real. He has already become a governing god now!
Back when I was in the Divine Being's World, he was only at the Heaven Immortal Realm.'
Seeing that King Yates had become stronger, Austin was both surprised and pleased.
"It seems that the Divine Being's World became a supreme world the minute it was upgraded. And as
one of the top masters in this world, King Yates has also made some amazing breakthroughs and has
become a governing god in the past few centuries.
But somehow, I wonder if the other seven supreme leaders have also broken through and become
governing gods.'
Austin could not help but ponder.
Meanwhile, in the distance, King Yates roared and challenged them relentlessly. However, after several
tries, he suddenly came to realize the bizarre atmosphere that crept the area.
"What the hell is going on with you?
Why aren't you responding? I'm challenging you!"
But at that moment, the army of the livestock race stood still and didn't seem to be prepared to fight.
"Ha ha.
Are you that afraid of me?
What a shame. It's too late now because I'm going to kill all of you!"
King Yates laughed crazily.
'Ah, it looks like he feels so good about himself.'
Austin tried with all his might not to laugh so hard upon seeing how the irritable King Yates was
behaving.
"So, are you going to fight me or not? This is the last time I will be asking you! Answer me, damn it!
Don't you waste my time!"
King Yates yelled in annoyance. At that moment, it looked like he was really running out of patience.
During this time, a creature came to his side and said,
"My King, King Tobian asked us to attract their attention.
He also said that we should avoid a head-on fight with them as much as possible."
But as a reply, King Yates glared at the creature and shouted back with his wide eyes,
"Who do you think is in charge here? You or me?"
"No, My King. I... I mean, of course you are the boss,"
the creature stammered as he answered immediately. He shrank his head, and his face turned pale out
of fear.
It was not new to him that King Yates had a very short fuse. Frankly, the consequences were
unimaginable, especially when he was irritated to his limit.
However, just as King Yates was getting more and more impatient, a voice suddenly came from the
army of the livestock race.
"Ahem, please stop, sir.
These guys would like to retreat.
In fact, they are all afraid of you."
"What?
Who the hell are you?"
Stunned at first, King Yates then shouted at the army.
But after a few moments,
a figure suddenly stepped out from the army and made his way to the front.
"Long time no see, sir!"
Austin greeted him with a wide smile.
