It was clear that Duke hated Austin as he cast a hostile look at the latter, and his body emitted intense
demonic aura.
Moreover, his voice had a hint of violent spiritual sense energy with it. If Austin did not have a strong
spiritual sense, he would've died on the spot.
Therefore, it was evident that Duke had tried to finish Austin off.
In turn, Austin stared back at Duke with murderous intent.
If anyone wanted to even lay a hand on him, he surely would not stand idly.
Anyway, that was how he dealt with things. He never showed mercy to those who wanted him dead.
Yet, he did not let anger get the best of him. He regained his composure, and the ferocious look in his
eyes quickly disappeared.
The reason was that, first of all, Duke was a genuine premium-grade divine god. He was a tough
opponent for Austin.
Secondly, there were numerous genuine divine gods of the beast race in the airship. If Austin fought
Duke, he would most likely lose.
On top of that, if Austin did challenge Duke now, it would be much harder for him to make it to the Land
of Outlaw.
"Sir, I told you that that slave is different from the other slaves.
He even had the guts to look at you like that!"
a member of the beast race said as he came up beside Duke.
That member was none other than Weber.
'I get it now!'
At that same moment, Austin immediately understood why Duke had made a move against him.
"Master, I've heard that Weber is on good terms with Duke. It turns out that it's true.
This has something to do with Weber,"
Wilfred said to Austin through his spiritual sense.
"Wilfred, where did you meet this slave? Who is he? Where did he come from? He is suspicious.
Take him out in case he brings us any trouble,"
Duke said emotionlessly as he narrowed his eyes at Austin.
A slave's life meant nothing to him.
Besides, he thought that he had the right to determine any slave's fate.
"Sir, there must be a misunderstanding.
I've investigated his background. He is clean and he is loyal to me.
Please spare his life,"
Wilfred said as he stepped forward and stood in front of Austin.
"Oh? Did you just speak up for this slave?"
Duke said in a sulky tone.
"Sir, this slave is very important to me.
I will not hurt him.
Please spare his life for my sake,"
Wilfred said in a louder voice.
"Look, sir, Wilfred even had the nerve to defy you for a low-born slave.
It seems that this slave has fooled him!
This slave is suspicious. We can't let him live,"
Weber goaded, in an attempt to add fuel to the fire.
"Weber, that's quite low of you.
You just want to find an opportunity to take revenge because you lost to me in the Wrestling Ring last
time.
If you want to get even with me, I'm waiting for you right here.
Why do you have to target my slave? Shame on you.
If you want to lay a hand on my most trusted slave, Weber, then you have to get through me first!"
Wilfred declared and took another step forward.
He looked like he was about to fight Weber to death.
"Humph!
That's enough!
Shut up!" Duke huffed in irritation.
Then, he released an enormous amount of demonic power and directed it at Wilfred and Austin.
In return, Wilfred and Austin stepped backwards to dodge the attack.
'This Duke guy is indeed a formidable opponent, ' Austin thought to himself.
"Let your slave behave himself.
Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to him," Duke warned Wilfred as he stared icily at Austin.
Afterward, he turned around and completely ignored Austin.
Because Wilfred's words made sense, it was indeed inappropriate for Duke to continue pushing him.
Or else, such an act would arouse public anger.
After all, Austin did not make any mistake.
"Wilfred, you heard what Lord Duke said. Ask your slave to stay out of trouble.
Otherwise, he will lose his life,"
Weber said smugly.
"Humph!"
Wilfred huffed and ignored him.
On the other hand, Austin quietly glanced at Weber with vicious eyes.
'It looks like Weber badly wants me dead.
Just he wait. He'd better pray that he would never end up in my hands, '
he thought.
After a day's journey, the airship's course changed.
It suddenly shook slightly and abruptly dashed out of the space teleportation channel.
"Here we are!"
Both Duke and Ferdinand perked up with excitement, and they quickly got out of the airship along with
a horde of members of the beast race.
Meanwhile, a dozen group of people had already gathered ahead of them.
There were many teams, and each team comprised of genuine divine gods.
"Ha-ha! Here you are.
Alright everyone! Let's enter the Land of Outlaw together as we all have agreed,"
a middle-aged man in white said loudly as he looked at the horde of the beast race.
Just then, the middle-aged man in white released white beams of light, which made him looked sacred.
It turned out that he was a genuine premium-grade divine god.
Beside him stood a large number of men who glowed with white light and emitted the sacred aura as
he did.
Austin observed them for a while and knew that they were from the Novel Court.
"Well, cut the crap. Let's go inside together."
"Let's go!"
the leaders of the other forces announced in agreement.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At that point, more than a dozen teams flew forward together.
Soon enough, the Land of Outlaw was right in front of them.
"Master, let's follow them," Wilfred told Austin through his spiritual sense.
The two of them were in the horde from the Beast City and followed the teams from behind.
"Everyone, be careful. We are now within the Land of Outlaw's territory.
Strictly speaking, the Land of Outlaw does not belong to the Sea of Chaos.
The energy, laws, and materials that exist here are different from those in the Sea of Chaos.
Thus, we must proceed with great caution.
The moment we let down our guard, who knows what dangers we will run into,"
a genuine premium-grade divine god reminded while they headed to their destination.
Now, each group was led by two genuine premium-grade divine gods.
These genuine premium-grade divine gods were powerful and quite intelligent as well.
Additionally, some Lands of Outlaw had appeared in the Sea of Chaos way back before, therefore
many of them had already had experiences exploring Lands of Outlaw back in ancient times.
Eventually, half a day had passed.
However, the journey got cut when those in the front suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"What's going on over there?" someone asked.
It turned out that a vast black space that was hundreds of millions of miles away came into their view.
From what they saw, it was quite dark in that area.
The dark expansive space was so big, and there was no light at all.
"What is that?"
the creatures muttered in confusion and surprise.
Since they were in the Land of Outlaw, they made sure to stay vigilant. Even the genuine divine gods
remained extremely cautious of their surroundings.
"Make way. I'm going to figure out what is going on over there," a man with a black pointed hat shouted
coldly.
As he spoke, he immediately squeezed his way out of the crowd.
That man was a genuine premium-grade divine god from the underworld.
Suddenly, traces of pure black gas appeared between his eyebrows, then a crack formed and turned
into an eye.
The lone eye unleashed a cold kind of light, which it aimed at the black space.
'That eye is awesome.
It's much stronger than the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor, '
Austin inwardly remarked as he looked at the master's third eye.
The master's third eye reminded him of his Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor.
The Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor was an asset that only the members of the Tomber race from the
underworld had owned.
Austin only possessed the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor because he obtained it by chance. After he
fused with a Tomber's blood essence, he was able to fully unleash its power.
But as time passed, he realized something.
He found out that as he grew more powerful, the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor became of less use to
him.
Therefore, it had been a long time since he last utilized the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor.
Still, he could tell that the third eye of the master from the underworld was mightier than the Eye of the
Ghostdom Ancestor.
"Everyone, the black space in front of us is full of space cracks, and traps.
To pass through it, you must take advantage of your law power related to space and time.
Keep your eyes open and don't rush.
Once you become stuck in the space cracks or traps, you will get exiled to an unknown space.
However, you don't have to be too scared. As far as I have observed, the spatial power and time power
over there is not that hard to deal with.
As long as you proceed with caution, you will be able to get through it.
Once again, I'll repeat: watch out and don't rush!"
the master of the underworld announced after he examined the black space in front of him with his third
eye for a while.
"That's good!"
Upon hearing those words, the other creatures sighed in relief.
