"You can forget it, Austin!
The Xi'men Clan will not surrender to the likes of you!" There came a voice from deep in the starry sky.
The fury in the words burst through, shaking the whole world.
It had come from the direction of the ancestral land of the Xi'men Clan.
Austin had barged in there once, raiding it thoroughly and robbing it of its abundance of treasures.
Within seconds, all of their clansmen had gathered, ready to retaliate. The tension in the air was so
thick it could be cut with a knife.
"Humph!" scoffed Austin.
Sneering, he strode on towards the ancestral land, the confidence in his strides signaling his readiness
to claim another ruthless victory. His determination could not be mistaken.
He had arrived before the ancestral land of the Xi'men Clan in the blink of an eye. No-one was ready
for such a speedy approach.
Boom! Boom!
He was greeted by the most powerful strike his enemies had in their arsenal. Magic arrays and magic
treasures packed densely around the ancestral land, one after the other.
Numerous lands of danger and lands of death were activated at the same time as he made his way
forward. They hovered around the ancestral land ominously and threateningly.
The Xi'men Clan had pulled out all the stops and invested a lot into a defense project of their ancestral
land, all in order to stop Austin.
Hundreds of thousands of divine level arrays were elaborately arranged before him; each of which was
considered the highest quality of its kind.
Countless chaotic magic treasures, refined from rare materials had also been incorporated into their
defenses.
Austin curled his lips scornfully as he laid his eyes on the lands of danger and the lands of death
above. He assumed they had hired some powerful Earth Masters to create this fine piece of work that
cost a large number of precious treasures of earth attribute.
They had gone all out to take him on, and they seemed to not want to hold anything back. The fact that
they had such a strong defense set up and such great resources behind them was quite terrifying.
'No wonder they're regarded as one of the four super forces!'
All living beings seemed to be thinking this same thing when they saw what Austin was faced with.
Hairs stood on the backs of all the creatures' necks when they saw the densely packed divine arrays,
magic treasures, lands of danger and lands of death floating around. None had the guts to step
anywhere near the battlefield with that before them.
No other force in the Sword Cosmos could compete with the Xi'men Clan!
It was common knowledge that the top divine arrays on display by the Xi'men Clan were so rare and
powerful, that the ordinary forces in the Sword Cosmos would have been proud and grateful to own
even just one or two, let alone as many as they had!
"Master, do you require our assistance?
We can't just stand by and do nothing when our master is releasing his might!
Let us join you in this grand battle!"
A message was suddenly relayed to Austin.
It was from Warner. He was itching to get into the thick of things.
There was more than just him. In the Ethereal World, there were numerous senior members of the
Curry Sword Sect paying close attention to Austin's every move.
They were all ecstatic by the sight of Austin's extreme power and seeming invincibility.
They yearned so deeply to conquer the Sword Cosmos, side by side with Austin!
"Mr. Lin, please allow us to fight with you!"
The loyal subordinates of Sword Son Curry chimed in as well, sending their eager messages to Austin.
They too could not sit aside and look on as the battle unfolded.
"Alright.
Come. Join me. All of you.
I will wait here for your arrival,"
Austin finally replied, nodding after a moment of contemplation.
It was time for the people of the Curry Sword Sect to make their names known.
After all, Austin had set his plans on retirement from ruling after all this tedious fighting was done with.
It made sense for the senior leaders of the Curry Sword Sect to join him now. It would only help them
learn and make it easier for them to manage the Sword Cosmos when the time came.
"Great! Master has agreed! Let's move out!"
Overjoyed by his order, Warner and Emmet immediately rallied a grand troop and left the Ethereal
World. They rushed for the Xi'men Clan's headquarters without a moment's hesitation, fueled by their
drive for vengeance.
Warner proudly flew a large flag high in the sky, flapping wildly in the wind as he led the troop from the
front, marching on aggressively at full speed.
The letters and patterns emblazoned on the flag could be seen clearly from far off in the distance,
and it read: Curry Sword Sect!
Austin stood patiently outside the ancestral land of the Xi'men Clan, his hands crossed behind his
back, awaiting his men's arrival.
An hour later, his force appeared on the horizon.
"Master, we're coming!"
"Mr. Lin, we're here!"
The grand troop of the Curry Sword Sect stood bravely in front of Austin, restless and ready to dive into
a fight for this young man.
"Good. Hold here for now. I'll break these barriers first and then you can follow in behind!"
Austin said with a heroic bellow, leading the charge with an army at his back.
"No one can stop me," he whispered in the wind, his voice low but fierce. It was time for him to show
them who the real boss was and why he should be feared.
With his grand army behind him, Austin glared darkly at the Xi'men Clan's headquarters. He raised his
hand, sneering ambitiously as he marched ahead proudly with an undeterred determination.
Boom! Boom!
Endless energy burst forth and rained down on Austin with tremendous force.
All the magic arrays, magic treasures, lands of danger and lands of death were activated all at once.
They attacked him from all directions, trying desperately to halt his approach.
But all their efforts were in vain.
Hundreds of millions of beams of dazzling sword radiance erupted from Austin's body, shielding him
from head to toe as if he huddled beneath a thick layer of feathers wrapped around him. The sword
radiance was so tough and brilliant, he could not be touched and strode on through anything that got in
his way.
Most attacks were weakened and deflated the moment they came into contact with Austin's protective
sword radiance.
At the same time, he released a massive amount of great cosmos forces to protect his body further,
blocking all attacks still coming his way.
Aided by his mighty sword radiance, he did not stand on ceremony or even try a conventional assault.
He bulldozed through the heavy defenses and charged through vigorously.
"Did you honestly think I'd be helpless if you hid in the ancestral land? How naive of you!"
Austin continued on ahead, one solid step at a time. His killing intent swept across the sky and shook
all the creatures below it. The universe itself began crumbling under the intense great cosmos force he
was releasing non-stop.
Kaboom!
Almost all the defenses around the ancestral land collapsed. Austin's power was so incredibly difficult
to hold off that they could not bear the pressure he gave off and shattered to tiny pieces, floating slowly
through the air as no more than dusty remains.
The energy Austin released was truly terrifying to behold.
The void continued cracking. Even the stars were trembling.
Boom!
The universe shook and stars exploded all throughout as though an enormous fireworks display had
been set off.
Wherever Austin went, everything was destroyed.
Of course, he had not relied on brute force alone to break through.
He used the law of space and time, the law of reincarnation and the great cosmos force as well to
create an opening that lead directly to the Xi'men Clan's ancestral land.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dazzling sword radiance of great density, coupled with innumerable great cosmos force, spurted out
from Austin's body, darting forward like a gleaming dragon.
"Damn it!
Austin is breaking in! He's getting through!
We need to work together to activate the divine spell to hold him off!"
Panic spread through the ancestral land like a giant wave crashing down on them. Members of the
Xi'men Clan scurried around like ants on a hotplate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streaks of special energy appeared and intertwined, forming a net with mysterious symbols strewn
across it.
The senior leaders of the Xi'men Clan hurriedly chanted the divine spell and a wave of strong energy
ran across the net of light.
Boom!
Austin ignored the potential threat and continued on unfazed.
The net buzzed and shuddered, before enveloping Austin in streaks of enormous blazing light.
"Break it!" Austin yelled courageously with a lionhearted growl.
The aura around his body soared silkily like a gleaming dragon, advancing along the path he had
opened. Nothing could possibly stop him now.
Austin's whole body now shone with sword-light and the great cosmos force circled around his body
like planets rapidly orbiting a sun. He was a horrifying figure to be sure, advancing further forcefully,
bounding ahead into the ancestral land.
Poof!
The light net was eventually torn apart after proving unable to stop his fearsome charge.
Austin leaped over the net triumphantly, letting out a deafening roar as he flew.
The sight of him rising through the air shocked all the creatures watching.
The ancestral land or altar of the four super forces in the Sword Cosmos had been so heavily guarded
that no one should have ever been able to break in.
Even the governing gods did not possess the power necessary to get in.
But to everyone's immeasurable surprise, Austin had done it, without so much a single hitch in his way.
The seemingly impenetrable defense was weak and useless against Austin's awesome power!
"You are truly incredible, master!"
The sight of Austin's victory amped up the people of the Curry Sword Sect, sending them into a sudden
burst of loud cheers.
"Master, you're invincible here. Show them your magnificent power!"
"Mr. Lin, you're invincible! No one matches up to you!"
The grand troop of the Curry Sword Sect roared with happiness and amazement, their joyous cheers
rattling the very sky above them.
