After only half a year of recruiting, Austin's army had grown to include more than one hundred
thousand divine gods.
This was impressive seeing that the total number of fighters in his army was five or six billion.
Each of these fighters had to be the best of the best.
They were selected according to strict rules before they were accepted into this army.
And they were all rewarded for their skill and bravery.
During all the battles, Austin would collect treasures. At the end, he would distribute all the treasures
they won except for some extremely rare ones.
They could then use these resources to improve their own cultivations and become even stronger.
In return, everyone was loyal to Austin and to the army.
All Austin had to do was to give an order and they would fight with him.
On the battlefield, there had never been a deserter!
One day, Austin sneaked his army into the chaotic void.
"Leader Austin, ahead is our next goal, the Desolate Universe Community.
The overall strength of this universe community is very similar to that of the Ice Palace.
Unfortunately, the demon race has already invaded it.
A large number of people from the Demon City are guarding the place,"
the white-haired premium-grade divine god reported to Austin as he pointed at a large universe
community in front of them.
"Well, we might as well go there now. Are we all rested?
Everyone, remember to move quick
in case anything goes wrong!"
Austin warned.
"Got it!"
The divine gods nodded eagerly.
They all believed and trusted in Austin completely.
He would never lead them into danger.
"Let's go!"
Austin took the lead and strode forward. He no longer hid his aura.
The army behind him followed suit. They all released their formidable auras, filling the atmosphere to
the brim.
All kinds of weapons such as sabers and spears shot out, forming a dense wave that flowed in front of
them.
The strength of this allied army was more than ten times stronger than it had been at the beginning.
As they approached the entrance of the Desolate Universe Community, they were greeted by a
seemingly calm scene.
However, in the distance, various cries could be heard and an evil aura prevailed.
They could see creatures from the Demon City were patrolling the gates and
waves of cruel, weird laughter echoed in the chaotic void from time to time.
"Something isn't right here!"
Austin yelled, stopping suddenly.
It was too calm and peaceful.
There was no stir at all.
Logically speaking, Austin's army was large and aggressive. During their marching there, they caused
the entire chaotic void to shake violently and roar.
It was impossible for the creatures of the Demon City to be oblivious.
"Stop!"
A bad feeling swept through Austin, turning his toes cold. He turned and waved his arms at the army.
All of a sudden, the whole army halted.
"Mission canceled! Everyone, retreat immediately!
Hurry up! Something is going to happen!"
Austin yelled in a magnified voice so that the whole army could hear.
All the members of the army were stunned at his sudden order.
However, they did not utter any objection.
The next moment, everyone turned around at the same time and rushed in the direction of the Infinite
City as fast as their legs would let them.
Austin dawdled a bit, wanting to make sure that all of his army made it back inside safely. He stretched
out his spiritual sense and investigated the surroundings for an answer to what was happening.
Suddenly, he was interrupted by
an extremely harsh voice.
"Ha-ha. Do you want to escape? Unfortunately, that's not an option."
The voice was domineering and violent.
Once it finished speaking, a black diabolic hand lashed out from the distance.
Streams of evil aura pulsated outwards and circled around the army, creating a layer of shadows.
The black palm suddenly expanded and became larger and larger.
The sound of cries could be heard from the palm
and it sent shivers down the spines of the army.
With the appearance of this palm, the entire chaotic void had become darker and darker.
"Damn it!"
Austin stared up at the hand and felt hopeless for the first time in a long time.
This hand was
full of powerful energy that was above many of the army's levels.
It seemed that this hand had taken over the chaotic void and was going to leave none alive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black palm doubled in size and loomed over them.
Austin knew that once this black palm hit the army, it would surely cause heavy casualties!
The black palm was not aimed at Austin but at the army in his front.
"Stop!"
Austin activated the Reincarnation Token and teleported himself to stand in front of the black palm.
He squinted his eyes and
exerted all his strength.
First, he unleashed the power of the original chaotic law of snow at the Major Achievement Stage,
which turned into a cold current and coated the black palm.
He also used the secret skills of the ice ghosts.
Then, he activated the Star Skill, the purple flying sword, the skills recorded in the Introduction to Vital
Energy Circulation, and the Triple Avatar Skill.
All these attacks hit the palm at once, yet it didn't even flinch.
Rolling energy was pushed from Austin's body and he was feeling himself beginning to tire.
Still, he continued to give it his all.
"You are nothing but a weak ant!
How dare you attack me? You are too bold, young man!"
the harsh voice said.
Then, with a loud boom, Austin and the black demonic palm collided head-on.
A deafening sound burst into everyone's ears.
And tremendous energy, like a billowing smoke, spread in all directions from the center of the collision.
"Finally, this guy is dead!"
the shrill voice said. The owner of it expected Austin to have been crushed and crumpled on the
ground.
However, the next moment, some movement started.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
With a coughing fit, a disheveled figure stumbled from the billowing energy smoke. His whole body was
covered in blood.
It was none other than Austin.
"What? How could this be?
I crushed him, but he is still alive!
This is incredible!
Is he really just an ordinary preliminary-grade divine god?" the harsh voice exclaimed
in shock.
"You are too careless.
Don't underestimate this human brat.
If he is really so weak, there is no need for us to come here to deal with him.
Think about it. He has led his army and killed many genuine preliminary-grade divine gods.
And they have destroyed so many of our territories.
From the way I see it, he is definitely not as weak as he appears!"
another harsh voice said.
Austin listened to the quarrel as
more than a dozen terrifying figures walked out of the Desolate Universe Community.
'They're genuine medium-grade and premium-grade divine gods!'
Austin's eyes widened as he recognized their strengths.
