However, at that moment, something happened.
Hearing what the governing god of the underworld said, Austin stopped in his tracks, his heart growing
cold. He then turned around slowly, his eyes as sharp as blades.
"Governing god? So what?
Today, I'll fight you all the same!"
he uttered through gritted teeth, folding his hand into a fist.
Austin was confident that even if he couldn't defeat the governing god, he wouldn't be in danger.
Murmurs echoed from the many cultivators in the area. "What? Oh my!
Austin didn't run away!
Is he serious about this? Does he really want to fight against the governing god?"
The cultivators stared at Austin, who had stopped. Their eyes were wide or mouths open in shock.
"What's wrong with him?
Does he want to die?"
Off in the three thousand big and small universes, the twelve zodiac animals became anxious to their
cores as they sensed the development of events.
"Let's hurry up. If we don't stop him in time, I'm afraid that he will die!"
The sky-devouring dog waved its paw. Together, the twelve zodiac animals summoned their power. A
white light bloomed before them, growing from a ball into the circular surface of a long-distance
teleportation channel. They rushed to Austin's position.
"Ha ha, Austin, you know what, I kinda admire you a bit.
I was surprised to know that you have the courage to face me."
The deep voice emanated behind Austin as a shadowy figure coalesced. Slowly, the figure formed,
releasing the law of death, firmly controlling the space for hundreds of millions of miles in the
surrounding area.
Thick black chains emerged from the black void enveloping the figure. One after another they
interwove, forming a large black net, trapping Austin in it.
"Is this the way you have to attack? Using surprise attacks to capture me? To gain an upper hand?
You couldn't face me in a fair fight? You're lucky you've cultivated for a longer time than me.
If I was your age, I would have killed you with one hand,"
Austin sneered, keeping his back straight and face steady.
"Humph!
Yes, it's rare for you to have such strength and performance at your age. I give you that.
But do you think you can break through and become the governing god for sure when you are as old as
me?"
He chuckled. "What wishful thinking.
Do you think the governing god could be found everywhere like a cabbage on the market?
If you really believe that one can become a governing god once he is old enough, then you are dead
wrong.
Countless semi-governing gods in the Sea of Chaos can't become the governing gods no matter how
long they've lived. That is the cruel reality,"
the governing god of the underworld declared, his voice making the very air tremble.
"Maybe I can kill you without breaking through to the governing god first,"
said Austin flatly.
"How arrogant!"
the governing god scowled. "Well, today, I will let you see how powerful the governing god is.
Before long, you will understand how far you are from the likes of me,
how weak you are, how little you matter, and how you could only dream of reaching my stage."
Boom!
The governing god's hand shot out and struck Austin.
Darkness bloomed in his palm, as if it could devour space, absorb all things and erase them.
At that moment, the endless void was shrouded in darkness. All the light disappeared, leaving only the
terrible smell of death in the air, permeating everything, pressing down on Austin as if it was a living
thing, a hungry thing, and a thing seeking to devour his soul.
This was the law of death activated to the extreme.
"Kill!"
Without any hesitation, Austin activated the human worlds inside his body, which began to boil at once.
Terrifying power spilled from him, clouding the air.
In an instant, over a hundred figures burst from his body. They came in all forms and sizes but had one
thing in common. They were deities!
A heavenly dragon rushed out, roaring and spewing power.
While on Earth, when Austin had studied and understood the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation,
he produced human worlds. When each human world was created, a deity was born as well.
In all, he had one hundred and eight human worlds inside him. And he had called forth every deity
living inside.
As their fighting power soared into the sky, the deities used different skills and techniques, combining
them into an attack. Lightning crackled. Storm winds blew.
The fighting power summoned was terrifying.
Shock filled all the creatures viewing this event.
"Just with this move, Austin can dominate the whole Sea of Chaos!"
declared countless creatures, amazed to their very hearts at Austin's ability.
Shoop! Shoop!
Austin's two avatars appeared. With his real body, the three of them unleashed a devastating punch.
This was the secret technique of the Triple Avatar Skill.
"Humph, you are indeed quite capable,"
the governing god of the underworld snorted. Despite his praising words, he still didn't think highly of
Austin.
Splash! Splash!
Countless dark chains condensed by the law of death hurtled toward Austin through the void.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The three Austins punched at the same time, shattering the dark chains in explosions of blackness.
"Austin, you might have reached this far despite how hard it is.
But you will die eventually no matter what!"
The governing god of the underworld drifted toward Austin. His appearance was much clearer than
before. His outline was that of a tall, dark, and terrible creature.
Behind him was a vast world of darkness. Countless corpses were lying under his feet, making him
look like an overwhelming devil, and even his hair was wrapped in strong law of death.
Boom!
In the darkness across the sky, a black halberd appeared. It emitted black light which hurtled across
the distance and hacked at Austin. The huge halberd flashed as if it could break all of Austin's defense.
On the other side, Austin opened his mouth. His flying sword shot out.
Clang!
The sharp flying sword exploded. A rain of light spilled from the sword's remnants, cascading in all
directions.
"So powerful!" echoed the creatures in attendance.
In that same instant, Austin used his physical strength, the Secret Reincarnation Skill, and the
Reincarnation Token to retreat at top speed to avoid his enemy's counterstroke.
While retreating, he activated the Mind Sword Skill, the mind sword slicing into the body of the
governing god of the underworld and staying there.
However, the governing god just shook his body slightly, dislodging the mind sword from him.
The injury suffered was a minor one, almost negligible.
Austin was well aware that with his current cultivation level of the Mind Sword Skill, he couldn't pose
too much threat to a governing god. But he was undeterred.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black halberd blasted into Austin's chest, causing his chest to instantly explode. A huge bloody
hole was left, exposing Austin's internal organs.
"The fighting power of the governing god is really amazing!"
Austin was taken aback at the sight of his internal organs. A chill eased through him.
He had the physique of the heaven metal race, the Chaotic Heaven Body, and he had cultivated the
complete version of the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation. All of this meant his physical body was
incredibly strong.
It was estimated that even the body of the governing god might not be stronger than that of Austin!
But now, there was this gaping bloody hole in Austin's body.
Such was the terrifying power wielded by the governing god.
And yet, Austin's injury was only a minor one.
In the blink of an eye his wound was completely healed.
He was whole again, unscathed.
"Arggghhhh!"
Austin and his two avatars threw their heads back and roared to the sky at the same time. Their
physical strength rolled violently as their bodies glowed with a blinding light. The one hundred and eight
human worlds in their respective bodies ignited. The luminescence boiled from them.
"I will beat the shit out of you even though you are a governing god!"
The hair of Austin and his two avatars stood on end. Every inch of their bodies was releasing energy,
and every cell felt as if it contained endless power. Their blood vitality roiled violently and their divine
energy surged to an incredible level.
Boom!
Austin and his two avatars unleashed a barrage of punches. They dashed toward the governing god
from three different positions at the same time.
Meanwhile, as he punched, Austin also activated the Secret Reincarnation Skill to the extreme. In a
flash, he covered the distance to the governing god.
Three fists blasted into the governing god at the same instant.
In the space nearby, the terrible and extreme energies slammed into each other. The clash brought
about a horrible scene, one that could make a person's blood run cold.
