"Sirs, have a little faith in me. As long as we work together, we can deal with them effectively,"
Austin told them. He smiled gently and refused to leave.
For someone who was facing more than thirty semi-governing gods, Austin appeared very calm and
confident.
"What? Are you serious?"
There were strange looks on the twelve zodiac animals' faces as they stared at Austin in disbelief.
Naturally, they felt a little surprised and uncertain about his cool composure and conviction.
They sensed something different in him. They were just not quite sure what it was.
"Very well, Austin. Seeing that you are eager to fight, we'll join forces with you."
It was the sky-devouring dog who responded.
"We have been waiting for you for such a long time, Austin! Our chance has finally come at last!"
Then, the semi-governing gods of the six super forces immediately fanned out and completely
surrounded Austin.
"Oh? Is that so?
Well, I'm flattered!"
Austin smiled serenely.
It was impressive how Austin didn't even flinch despite being surrounded by more than thirty semi-
governing gods.
"Hmm. He seems like he's well-prepared."
The twelve zodiac animals stared at Austin in amazement.
After all, Austin was their master's disciple. Therefore, he was considered as their young master.
Needless to say, they hoped that Austin would become even stronger as time went by.
"Humph! You're about to die, Austin. Yet, you still smile. How interesting!"
One of the semi-governing gods of the demon race taunted him. He seemed too confident about
winning against Austin.
"Do you honestly think that you can end my life that easily? How naive!"
Austin sneered right back at him.
It completely wiped off the smug expression on the semi-governing god's face. "Don't talk big!
I'll send you straight to hell, brat!"
the semi-governing god roared in anger.
All of a sudden, they heard a swishing sound.
The semi-governing god had pulled out a shiny machete and swiftly slashed at Austin. His movement
was as fast as lightning. An infinite blade light flashed and shocked the entire universe.
However, Austin had used the Secret Reincarnation Skill at the same time. Therefore, he was able to
dodge the attack quite easily.
"Ha-ha! We'll know who's talking big, soon."
Austin smirked as he prepared for his next move.
"Everyone, lend me all your spiritual soul energy!"
Austin called out to his army of slaves. He had tens of thousands of them.
With a thunderous sound, they all responded.
All at once, the spiritual soul energy gushed out of their Soul Seas and gathered towards Austin. They
instantly enshrouded the vast void.
Several loud blasts could be heard as they merged together.
Like countless gushing rivers, an astonishing amount of spiritual soul energy had converged and
poured straight into Austin's Soul Sea.
Meanwhile, the spiritual tree, the spiritual dragon, the spiritual heart, and the Chaotic Ice Lotus had
released their auras simultaneously to guard Austin's Soul Sea.
Ultimately, the combined spiritual soul energy of tens of thousands of divine gods was too terrifying.
It was unbelievable how Austin's spiritual power had increased at such astounding speed.
Whoosh! He finally made an offensive move.
As soon as Austin activated the Mind Sword Skill, he plunged the sword straight into the semi-
governing god's chest.
"Ha-ha! How pathetic!
Such an attack can't possibly hurt me! You're out of luck, kid!"
The semi-governing god laughed in disdain. Then, he exerted some of his energy to force the sword
out of his body.
"Oh, are you sure?"
There was endless spiritual fire burning within Austin's eyes. It looked extremely bright and horrifying.
All of a sudden, thousands of beasts dashed out of Austin's head. Each of them had a red silk thread
attached behind them.
These beasts instantly pounced on the semi-governing god. They emitted such dazzling spiritual light.
Moreover, they also exhibited a strong murderous will.
"Ha! I know that's just a cheap trick. You can't fool me!"
The semi-governing god raised his machete. The white blade's aura had instantly spread like a vast
sea.
One by one, the sharp blade aura tore the beasts apart.
However, these torn up beasts quickly recovered and went back to their previous form. It seemed like
they did not suffer any damages at all.
In the blink of an eye, these beasts had already surrounded the semi-governing god. All at once, they
attacked and bit him frenziedly.
Many of them had also rushed into his Soul Sea to attack his spiritual soul directly.
"Get lost, stupid beasts!" he shouted as he attempted to fend them off.
Naturally, he felt shocked and furious because they managed to put him into a tight spot.
"You haven't won yet! Don't be so arrogant, brat!"
Another semi-governing god from the Novel Court held up a token as he charged towards Austin.
There was a transparent crystal ball floating above his head. It was releasing a white power of faith that
surged towards Austin like a raging wave.
At the same time, a bright flying sword dashed out of Austin's body. It had effectively blocked the token!
Furthermore, the endless spiritual power inside Austin's Soul Sea burst forth. His mind had absolute
control of it.
Afterward, this infinite spiritual power ignited and turned into a sea of fire. It began to spread
relentlessly.
In a flash, the sea of spiritual fire had engulfed the void. It continued to spread across more than a
hundred million miles and blazed intensely.
All of the semi-governing gods of the six super forces were submerged in the sea of fire.
They all felt that the flames were forcefully and continuously pouring into their Soul Seas. This fire was
trying to ignite and burn down their spiritual souls.
In and of itself, this was already considered as a powerful secret skill of the spiritual soul. It was even
more terrifying when Austin performed it.
"That is incredible!"
The twelve zodiac animals were absolutely surprised. They couldn't believe how strong Austin had
gotten.
"Come on, everyone!"
They looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They began to move one after another. In an
instant, they were now standing behind Austin.
"That's more like it! Sirs, let's work together and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Austin glanced at them and chuckled.
Then, he launched another attack.
Using his mind, Austin made several sleek and shiny swords shoot out of his body. He directed them
towards his enemies.
The swords had hit each and every one of the semi-governing gods. Their bodies were ripped apart as
they spat out blood almost simultaneously.
"Pathetic old man! Go to hell!"
After that, Austin aimed his next strike at the semi-governing god who attacked him first. Then, he used
the Secret Reincarnation Skill to move closer to him in a flash.
With a rumbling sound, he set his assault into motion.
Thousands of thick red light columns had spurted out of Austin's head. They shot straight towards the
semi-governing god.
As a matter of fact, each red light column contained an extraordinary amount of spiritual power. It was
practically unstoppable.
Wherever it passed, everything turned into dust. There was no way anyone could survive this attack.
This was known as an advanced technique of the Puppet Strings. Moreover, it was immensely
powerful.
There was a deafening clang as the semi-governing god tried to block it.
He immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm as the machete in his hand collided with the red light
columns.
But because spiritual soul energy had condensed these red light columns, they could instantly recover
and continue to attack after being shattered. This made them almost invincible.
Ultimately, a series of explosions rocked the entire void.
The red light columns had found their target. They struck the semi-governing god's body all at the
same time.
"Ah! Damn it all!"
The semi-governing god cried out in agony and anger.
"This is your end!"
Austin leaped forward and used the Secret Reincarnation Skill to seal the space where the semi-
governing god had fallen.
Then Austin charged towards him at lightning speed.
He raised his sharp flying sword and swung it ferociously to sever the semi-governing god's head from
his body.
Soon after, the spiritual soul energy rushed out of Austin's head and condensed into a long red whip.
It emitted a bizarre aura then lashed at the spiritual soul of the semi-governing god.
Little by little, the semi-governing god's spiritual soul began to crack!
The red whip was certainly odd. It gave off a strange rhythm when it attacked. Furthermore, it would
accurately hit the semi-governing god's spiritual soul with every beat.
Clearly, this was an advanced and incredibly powerful spiritual skill of the spiritual race.
"Damn you! You won't get away with this!
You will die a horrible and painful death, Austin!"
It was obvious that the semi-governing god didn't expect Austin's spiritual soul energy to be so
powerful. In addition to that, he must have practiced so many secret skills of spiritual soul.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't withstand Austin's attacks at all.
"Ha! Today is your last day, you old bastard!"
Austin laughed triumphantly.
"It's not that easy to kill me! I'll get back at you someday, you brat!"
The semi-governing god's spiritual soul was heavily injured, and he had completely lost the will to fight.
So, he just turned into a demonic light and escaped into the void.
"There's nowhere else left for you to hide!"
Once again, Austin made use of the power of his mind.
He roared, "I won't let you escape!"
The sharp flying sword instantly turned into a light dot and promptly chased after the retreating semi-
governing god.
In the past, Austin had learned the complete Flying Swordsmanship from the master of swordsmanship
in the sword shrine.
The genuine Flying Swordsmanship could easily track the enemy. It would enable him to kill his target
from a long distance.
Whoosh!
The flying sword continued to pursue the semi-governing god.
"Damn it! How can he still follow me?"
The semi-governing god was now more frightened than angry. He tried to elude it as fast as he could.
"What the hell?! No! Impossible!"
Meanwhile, the remaining semi-governing gods from the six super forces and the twelve zodiac
animals were completely bewildered. They still couldn't believe what they witnessed.
Even though the fight between Austin and the semi-governing god was fierce, it was settled in just a
mere second.
Simply put, Austin had decimated the semi-governing god in one decisive battle within seconds.
Austin's current power was undoubtedly fearsome as he could defeat a semi-governing god almost
effortlessly.
