When Austin and the fire source beast were just about to leave, they were met with more and more
creatures. Soon, they were surrounded from all sides.
They trampled over each other, frantically trying to get a hold of their enemy.
Fortunately for the two, the arrays Austin had set up slowed down their advance.
But they still had to find a way to get rid of the countless creatures.
"We have to find a way out of here, or else we're dead meat! It seems like these bastards just keep on
multiplying.
We can't afford to wait any longer!
It will be very difficult for me to get through the encirclement alone, but you don't need to worry, Austin.
With your current array skills, you're powerful enough to protect yourself."
The fire source beast took a deep breath to analyze the situation.
"I know. Now let's not waste any more time and kill them!"
Austin nodded with determination.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he swiftly charged in defiance.
With one move of his hand, he summoned hundreds of arrays to push down hundreds of creatures
down to the ground.
The arrays then let out a powerful burst of energy directed at their opponents.
This forced the creatures to retreat with their tail between their legs.
The creatures' strength came with their number, but individually, even the fire source beat wouldn't
break a sweat to defeat them.
"Ha-ha! This should be easy!"
Austin's companion let out a burst of triumphant laughter after seeing how easy their foes had been
defeated.
He used his fire-controlling skill to create thousands of spears made from the sacred fire out of thin air.
The weapons illuminated the battlefield with an orange hue, much like the sunset.
The beast cultivated this skill for hundreds of years in isolation.
"Finish them!"
the fire source beast let out a mighty roar.
Thousands of burning spears lit the earth on fire and tore the sky open as it rained down on the strange
creatures in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, rows and rows of creatures died one after the other as they were impaled by the
barrage of spears.
Their bodies exploded into pieces shortly after dying. Much to the two's surprise, no bones nor organs
were found. Instead, a ghostly cry was heard while their bodies turned into a cold mist that rose high
into the sky.
The haunted moans caused the atmosphere to turn deadly cold, sending a chill down Austin and the
fire source beast's spines.
"The creatures were not alive?
Why don't they have any normal organs?"
Both Austin and the fire source beast were dumbfounded.
"It doesn't matter! Let's focus on getting out of here! Let's hurry up and break out of the encirclement!
These creatures are increasing again!"
Seeing the increasing number of their opponents, the fire source beast quickly snapped out of it.
He continued to forge a path using his spears to instantly kill any creature that was unlucky enough to
be in front of them.
Austin followed closely behind while he continuously set up an array of traps one after the other to
block their pursuers from behind. He also used his own fire-controlling skill to form gigantic firewalls to
guard their sides.
Slowly but surely, the duo advanced through the sea of creatures.
But no matter how many they killed they could still see more and more creatures appear, rushing
towards them from afar like a surging tide.
The fire source beast couldn't help but feel the tremendous pressure of keeping their seemingly never-
ending opponents at bay.
'What if I try using the mind power?'
Amidst the chaotic battlefield, an idea suddenly lit up inside Austin's head.
Seeing how they might soon fall from the sheer number of creatures, he wasted no time to try out his
idea.
More than twenty worlds of mind power appeared out of thin air and engulfed the creatures.
Much to Austin's surprise, the strange beings frantically tried to get away from being enveloped by the
worlds of mind power. They trashed around and fought to get away but they were too weak. Their
strength slowly dwindled off while inside Austin’s worlds of mind power.
They grew weaker and weaker.
"It seems that the mind power is the weakness of these strange creatures!"
He was beyond thrilled to learn this.
No matter how powerful and ferocious the strange creatures were, as soon as they met Austin's worlds
of mind power, they would immediately turn around to run in fear while their strength was being drained
continuously.
Filled with a newfound sense of hope, Austin immediately launched another volley of his mind power.
Every strange creature within the range of his worlds of mind power was instantly attacked by a
tremendous amount of spiritual power.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The mind power was undoubtedly very effective against their opponents.
One after another, hundreds of creatures exploded into dust.
They covered the sun with a shroud of gloomy and cold mist.
But like a thin sheet of snow under the scorching heat of the sun, they quickly disappeared into
nothingness.
Before Austin could even notice, a large area around him was now clear of any creature.
In a blink of an eye, Austin managed to kill wave after wave of his opponents.
"Austin!
What the hell happened here? What did you do?
This is awesome!"
The fire source beast couldn't believe his eyes when he turned around to look at his companion.
Although he obliterated the enemies in front of him, the number of creatures he killed was far less than
Austin's.
"I tried using my mind power to attack them, actually.
It turns out these creatures were afraid of it. I think the mind power is their sole weakness!"
he answered with much joy and pride.
"I see!
It seems that everything could be the death of something else out there. How amazing!”
The fire source beast was beyond elated after hearing his companion's words.
"That's right.
Now we don't have to be afraid of those creatures anymore!"
Austin said with a wide grin.
But being the cautious man that he was, as soon as he finished speaking,
he laid out dozens of worlds of mind power that enveloped the area in all directions.
Once again, every creature that was caught in one of the worlds turned to dust in a flash.
They didn't even had the chance to fight back.
For Austin, summoning a dozen worlds of mind power was nothing.
Without even breaking a sweat, he was able to kill off another horde of strange creatures.
The fire source beast didn't even need to fight anymore. He just stood beside him, enjoying the
carnage.
"Ha-ha-ha!
Austin, I must admit, I'm really surprised.
You're not only are skilled at arrays, but your cultivation base on the mind power is also impressive!
Needless to say, you have greatly improved during the past few hundred years!"
the fire source beast let out a hearty laugh and praised him sincerely.
When Austin first entered the Eight Fires Valley, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary god of chaos.
At that time, Austin was too weak to fight back against the gods of chaos from the Time Chamber Sect
and the darkness race. It was only with the help of the fire source beast that he was able to escape the
cold hands of death.
