Chapman quickly spotted the direction in which Austin had taken off. A smirk appeared on his face as
he approached and passed through the vast space and time. In an instant, he cut the distance short
and caught up to Austin.
Boom! Boom!
Without delay, two beams of light as thick as mountains darted out from Chapman's eyes and rushed
towards Austin with great momentum.
As a governing god, even his simplest attacks could inflict unimaginable damage to his enemies.
In fact, the beams of light that shot out from his eyes were powerful enough to easily destroy ordinary
semi-governing gods.
'Whoa! That power is horrifying!'
Austin couldn't help but exclaim in his mind upon sensing the devastating attack that was coming for
him.
Without thinking twice, he immediately employed the Secret Reincarnation Skill to evade the attack.
Swoosh!
In a flash, Austin's body, as well as the time and space around him, disappeared into thin air and left
not a single trace behind.
However, Austin quickly recognized that the power of the Secret Reincarnation Skill was greatly
suppressed in this shadowy area.
Nonetheless, he found himself lucky that he had already made great progress in the law of
reincarnation. Thanks to that, he could still use this skill effectively.
In no time, he was able to teleport himself far away.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Meanwhile, the spot where Austin stood just a second ago got violently swept by the beams of light that
Chapman sent out. The entire space turned into a vast black vacuum, and everything in it had been
utterly destroyed.
"That sneaky bastard! Did he use some secret technique related to reincarnation?"
Although Austin managed to escape right away, Chapman immediately realized the trick he pulled.
"Humph! Oh well, he deserves some credit. Such a young man with great achievements is rare.
However, since you chose to make an enemy out of the Heaven Beast Valley, you're screwed! I'll show
no mercy, and I'll make sure no one can save you!"
Chapman scoffed and narrowed his eyes. He had easily seen through Austin's reincarnation skill due to
his extremely powerful spiritual sense. That was the reason why he could still locate where Austin
disappeared to even though there wasn't any trace of him left.
Swoosh!
With just a single stride in a split second, he appeared to the area where Austin was.
After all, calculating where Austin had set off to was a piece of cake for him. Even though Austin moved
expeditiously, he could stay close behind him in a breeze.
Alas, Austin missed something important—he didn't recognize that wherever he passed by, he would
leave a faint shadow behind.
As a consequence, he made it easy for Chapman to track his movements.
"Damn it! Why can't I lose him?!"
There was a hint of panic in Austin's voice, and his face turned pale when he found Chapman closing
in on him again.
This time, he realized that the power of a governing god was still on a whole different level.
He thought, if he was dealing with a semi-governing god, he would have already escaped without
breaking a sweat.
"Hey, brat! All this running is futile.
You're just wasting your energy. You can't escape from me!"
Chapman's mocking voice echoed in Austin's ears.
Despite all this intimidation, Austin didn't say a word. He just focused on fleeing and used the Secret
Reincarnation Skill again to teleport himself away from that area.
"Still trying to sneak away, huh? I won't let you!"
Chapman shouted sternly as he saw Austin try to escape. He then reached out a big hand and shook it
behind Austin.
Boom! Boom!
As a result, the void around him—stretching to about hundreds of millions of miles in radius—seemed
to have been awakened under his control. All the energy, laws, and materials there roared and tried to
attack Austin as if they had identified him as their enemy.
At the same time, a big hand made up of energy and law was instantly formed above Austin's head. It
smashed down towards him, emitting such enormous pressure.
Austin almost couldn't move as he felt like he was trapped in a deep swamp.
It was as though countless divine mountains were pinning him down and smashing him at the same
time, rendering him almost out of breath.
Austin tried his best to activate the Reincarnation Token and use the Secret Reincarnation Skill in
desperation to teleport himself away.
What was more, he also employed all the secrets skills that he learned to mobilize all the energy and
laws just to resist Chapman's daunting strike.
It was a life-or-death situation, and he had no choice but to go all out.
Boom!
As Austin's and Chapman's attacks collided, a terrifying explosion occurred in the space that engulfed
a tremendously huge area.
In a flash, everything turned into nothingness.
The only thing left was a huge and empty dark vacuum.
"Damn it! This shadowy area has restricted my skills. I should have gotten him that time!
I can't believe I let him to get away from me again!"
Chapman cursed, deeply frustrated at what just happened.
He was so pissed at the fact that a mere young man was able to escape from him twice in a row.
He clenched his fists as he fumed in anger. He had never experienced this kind of humiliation before.
However, there was a significant reason how Austin managed to escape from Chapman even in that
hopeless situation.
It was because the shadowy area outside the Heaven Beast Valley was absolutely mysterious.
Even governing gods would be suppressed to a certain extent when they reached this area.
Normally, a governing god's spiritual sense could instantly perceive everything within most areas of the
Sea of Chaos.
There, it was a piece of cake for the governing gods to eliminate their enemy.
Thus, it was almost impossible to escape from a governing god. However, thanks to the restriction
force that governed the area, it allowed Austin to barely escape from Chapman.
"I'm going to hunt you wherever you go, you little brat. You can't possibly escape from me every single
time. You better prepare yourself. I'm coming for you."
Chapman gritted his teeth as he deducted Austin's location. The moment he perceived him, he chased
after him without wasting any time.
"Argh! I was almost crushed back there."
Somewhere in the shadowy area, Austin was continuously vomiting blood. His face was pale, and he
felt intense pain from his insides.
Although he narrowly escaped Chapman's attack earlier, he still suffered severely from the impact.
Swoosh!
Before Austin could even recover, Chapman appeared behind Austin once more, like a ghost who kept
on creeping up wherever he went. His cold eyes were locked on Austin as if saying that he had run out
of luck trying to escape.
'Damn, I have messed with a really powerful person this time. I was too hasty.'
Austin let out a bitter smile as he perceived the strong killing intent coming from Chapman, who was
glaring at him from behind.
He had to admit that he had truly underestimated the strength of a governing god. Experiencing it
firsthand changed his perspective quite a lot.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Without any warning, Chapman launched another barrage of attacks.
Even with his current condition, Austin still tried to evade and escape as hard as he could.
However, it was evident that his movements had declined after acquiring severe injuries from the
earlier clash.
'Tch. I have no choice but to ask the statue master for help.'
Austin couldn't help but click his tongue, knowing that he was in such a desperate position.
When the statue in the Fallen Divine Valley asked Austin to go out for a trial, it told him to immediately
send it a message if ever he found himself stuck in an unsolvable situation.
Now that he was facing a life-threatening situation as he confronted a governing god, Austin could
honestly admit that he could no longer deal with the situation by himself. He needed his master's help
in order to escape.
Fortunately, he still managed to sneak away twice since the area was suppressing even the most
powerful attacks of this governing god. However, he wasn't so sure that he could do it for the third time.
After all, if not for the restraining force, he would have already been ripped apart by Chapman.
Thus, without hesitation, Austin crumbled an old jade slip in his possession.
In an instant, several mysterious runes burst out from the jade slip and dissipated into the void.
At the same time, in the square back in the Fallen Divine Valley, the statue immediately sensed
something.
"Hmm.
He really dared to provoke a governing god, huh?
That guy is really good at getting himself caught up in trouble."
The voice came from the statue, which was standing at the center of the square.
"Now, what should I do? If I take the risk of saving him, I might get exposed.
However, if I don't bail him out right away, he may not be able to make a break for it.
Well, either way, I can't let this stubborn disciple of mine die like this.
I've seen his potential and there's still a lot for him to achieve.
Besides, I did tell him to contact me if he was ever faced with an impossible situation.
I guess I don't really have a choice," the statue sighed helplessly upon thinking what to do with Austin.
Then, it quickly sent a message directly into Austin's Soul Sea. "Austin, I will create a portal. You can
instantly come back as soon as you enter it.
But be sure to be quick about it.
You can't waste any time, all right?
Otherwise, my enemy might sense a hint of my aura. If that happens, we'll surely be put in a tight spot."
Upon hearing this, Austin quickly changed his mind.
"Master, it's too risky.
We can't let your enemy find out where you are.
I'll find a way to escape this situation by myself," Austin said in a resolute tone.
He was the one who put himself in this situation, so he thought that it was his responsibility to fix it.
Besides, he couldn't afford to risk his master's safety just to save himself.
After all, his master was a god of chaos.
It only meant that his master's enemy must be a god of chaos as well.
Once his master's enemy got a hold of his master's location, no one would be able to deal with him.
"Stop talking nonsense. You called me because you can't escape by yourself.
If I don't help you, then how would you be able to get away?
I'll create a path for you. Just remember to move quickly!"
The statue's voice rang out in Austin's Soul Sea again, instructing him strictly.
His master had already decided, so Austin didn't have a choice but to do his best to comply
immediately.
Then, as the space trembled, a portal appeared before Austin.
