With the array watched over by a god of chaos, there was no way the beast race army would be able to
break into the Ice Palace.
"Leader Austin, the array you set up is truly powerful!
There's no need for the Ice Palace to be afraid of the Beast City with the array's protection!"
the Ice Queen said, practically buzzing with excitement.
"The Ice Palace is safe for the time being,"
Austin agreed with a nod.
Yes, for the time being, the Ice Palace was safe, however, he knew that the protection his array
provided wouldn't be enough to defend it forever.
The Beast City's forces were definitely far stronger.
Austin knew that since the Beast City cultivated many genuine divine gods, it meant that there must be
a god of chaos supporting its development.
Either this god was a living god of chaos
or there was only a wisp of broken soul of one.
He'd prefer it if it wasn't the former as it would be too shocking and terrifying.
A living god of chaos was absolutely invincible in this era and could easily conquer the entire Sea of
Chaos.
Austin could only hope for the latter case since that would be less terrifying. After all, there was also a
soul of a god of chaos behind him.
Now the Ice Palace had the support of the remnant soul of a god of chaos as well, namely the Divine
Ice Goddess. They just didn't know it yet.
They wouldn't be so afraid of the Beast City anyway.
The fact still remained, however, that the Beast City was still extremely powerful.
Their genuine divine gods were their main assets and gave them the strength to rule the entire Sea of
Chaos!
"A medium-grade genuine divine god..."
Austin muttered to himself as he looked on at the medium-grade divine god at the helm of the beast
race army. He felt a terrifying aura emanate from the warrior which concerned him slightly.
'He's very strong.
I don't think I'd be a match for him for the time being, '
he pondered with a serious look on his face.
'A medium-grade genuine divine god is significantly stronger than a preliminary-grade one.
They're at least ten thousand times stronger!'
This fact shocked Austin to the core.
The higher his opponent's cultivation base reached, the more difficult it would be for him to defeat
them.
He could easily kill the eight preliminary-grade genuine divine gods from the beast race.
The medium-grade ones, however, were a different story.
'I'm still not strong enough, damn it!
I need to get stronger!'
he thought to himself with gritted teeth.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
A series of loud explosions came as the beast race army continued to attack the Grand Snow Array.
This went on for ten days, with the attacks never ceasing as the enemy forces tried their best to breach
the Ice Palace's defenses.
Fortunately, Austin's array remained secure and kept the Ice Palace safe and sound.
No damage or cracks appeared on its surface despite the continuous attacks.
This fact greatly relieved the Ice Queen and the palace's senior leaders.
"Stop!"
Ten days later, the medium-grade genuine divine god finally ordered his troops to cease the attack.
"Let's retreat."
He cast one final look of disdain at the Grand Snow Array before promptly departing with his large
army.
No matter how hard they tried, he knew that there was no way they'd be able to break that array.
"Ha! Look at that!
Those monsters finally ran away!"
Ismail exclaimed with a burst of laughter.
"They're bound to return one day,"
the Ice Queen murmured to Austin.
Though their enemy's retreat brought her great joy, as the top leader of the Ice Palace, she had a better
sense of how things would go on from there.
"That's right.
Marlon is determined to conquer the entire Sea of Chaos. There's no way he'll give up attacking the Ice
Palace so easily,"
Austin agreed.
At that moment, after the chaos had settled, Austin suddenly remembered something!
"Oh, no, the three thousand big and small universes!"
Since the Beast City planned to conquer the entire Sea of Chaos, there was no way they'd forget the
three thousand big and small universes.
They were bound to go there and carry out massive slaughter!
It was important to note, however, that the three thousand big and small universes were guarded by an
avatar of the Divine Swordsman and Santos.
Those two powerful masters would be more than enough to deal with any ordinary divine god that
came from the beast race.
Yet, it would be quite challenging, if they were faced with a genuine divine god.
Austin also knew that it wasn't just the Beast City he should be worried about. The Demon City, the
Novel Court, and the Divine Corpse Palace were also continuously trying to expand their territories.
All of them had the same goal: to completely dominate the entire Sea of Chaos!
These four super forces had already mobilized and sent off their genuine divine gods to bring their race
glory.
It was highly possible and rational to surmise that their respective armies were headed towards the
three thousand big and small universes.
"I must become stronger!"
Austin exclaimed, feeling a sense of urgency from the current mess.
At that moment, he felt something.
"A Thunderstroke Doom! Another Thunderstroke Doom is coming!"
he remarked with delight and worry.
A Thunderstroke Doom was bound to help him in his cultivation if he was able to successfully dodge it.
However, he had a hunch that this oncoming Thunderstroke Doom was going to be difficult to deal with.
Just as he was thinking of a strategy to help him, the sky above Austin suddenly filled with dark clouds.
Ominous and foreboding, these clouds were like a dark, violent sea.
Within this mass of clouds were dozens of multi-colored thunderbolts, each as thick as a dragon.
The sight rendered everyone speechless
These multi-colored bolts had been unprecedented.
"Our leader will make a breakthrough!"
Cheers began to roar from the divine gods of the Ice Palace and Blue Ocean Universe Community.
"Once our leader breaks through, his strength will definitely rise to a higher level!"
"Our leader is indeed a genius to be able to break through to the medium-grade divine god this young!
I didn't even reach the Divine Realm when I was his age."
Heated discussions broke out amongst the divine gods.
Who wouldn't be happy at this prospect? The stronger Austin was, the better for them.
Soon, however, they realized that something was wrong.
Austin was in no way prepared to break through at all.
Instead, he tried to conceal his aura.
The aura of his spiritual soul, physical strength, divine power, law power, blood energy, even the
fluctuation of life energy and vitality in his body were all sealed tightly.
It was as if his energy and vitality were hidden away and cut off all contact with the outside world.
At that moment, Austin resembled a piece of wood or an ordinary, round pebble.
No sort of aura or energy fluctuation could be felt from him, at all.
These methods to avoid the doom had been taught to him by the statue master in the Fallen Divine
Valley.
In order for one to obtain Divine Accomplishment and become a genuine divine god, one had to avoid
the doom instead of breaking through it!
Only after he avoided this doom for eighty-one times could he begin to break through, obtain Divine
Accomplishment in one go, and become a genuine divine god!
"Wow!
I see. Our leader is avoiding the doom!
He's actually cultivating to become a genuine divine god!"
a superior elder of the Ice Palace exclaimed in realization.
"That's right!
Our leader is truly something!
He's cultivating to become a genuine divine god!"
another divine god exclaimed.
During the recent period, in the Sea of Chaos, several genuine divine gods appeared in public one after
the other. These people were from the super-powerful forces.
Some secrets about genuine divine gods began to gradually spread out.
There were several versions that floated about on how to become a genuine divine god.
One of them was that if one wanted to become a genuine divine god, then they had to learn how to
avoid the Thunderstroke Doom!
Thus, Austin's actions made his people realize that he was trying to become a genuine divine god!
"Our leader must have a strong background then.
If one wants to become a genuine divine god then he must master some sort of brilliant skill that will
enable him to avoid the dooms.
Only those who come from the super-powerful forces or some ancient, forbidden land are able to
master such secret skills.
Since our leader was able to execute such a secret skill then that must mean he is backed by some
amazing force!"
a premium-grade divine god commented in a low voice.
"That's right!"
the other divine gods exclaimed and trembled slightly where they stood.
All of them could only look on towards Austin in awe.
There was no way they'd ever dare disrespect such a terrifying, young man.
