"Enough!" echoed an old voice suddenly.
A huge flood dragon appeared in the distance, its aura a little aged. It appeared to be getting on in
years.
"Our master ordered us to stay on this star and guard this Immortal Tribulation Tree. We are to stop
and test any living creature that comes here for the tree. This is our master's order.
You two may fight if you wish. But we need to see our master's order through. So I suggest you please
fight another time, when you're done here.
Business first,"
said the old flood dragon.
"That's right.
That was the order we were given and we will not have it disobeyed!"
All the other beasts nodded in agreement that they would follow this command dutifully.
The two noisy beasts immediately stopped their quarreling when the old flood dragon spoke.
A silence had now fallen over everything.
'Master? Order?' thought both Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast to themselves.
As it turned out, there was an incredibly powerful master somewhere who had arranged for these
beasts to live here and protect the Immortal Tribulation Tree.
All of them were primitive gifted beasts and had noble bloodlines. Austin was curious as to what sort of
mighty creature could be their master.
He and the chaotic sky-devouring beast exchanged glances filled with wonderment as something came
to both their minds at the same time.
A god of chaos!
As far as they knew, only the god of chaos could be capable of being their master!
"Well, little guy, come on.
Let's have a good fight, shall we?"
The fire beast stood, hovering in midair above the long, narrow land. Flames burned on the surface of
its body and heat waves radiated off it. Its fighting spirit was heating up too as it stared Austin down.
"As you wish," Austin replied.
He turned into a beam of light and darted towards the fire beast.
The beast made its move as well. All four of its hooves trampled on the void as it accelerated to break-
neck speeds, leaving a shadow behind where it had been. With every step it seemed to enter another
strange space and time. It was very deceptive and hard to keep track of its movements.
The fire beast was much faster than the previous flood dragon,
producing a deafening sonic boom as it blasted ahead at speed.
It charged ferociously towards Austin, lowering its head slightly and pointing the sharp horn at its target
in front of it.
Bang!
Austin raised his blade high in the air. He used thousands of blade skills in an instant and hit the fire
beast's head with a clean strike!
At the same time, he summoned a dozen Space and Time Arrays around him, keeping himself well
protected in the middle of them all.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The blade in his hand was activated and emitted horrifying blade radiance and many mysterious blade
laws. All this together was like an iron chain, blocking space and time off.
Austin's blade had been left behind by a god of chaos, and although he had not yet used it to its full
potential, the power it displayed could not be underestimated.
"Nice blade, little guy," shouted the fire beast.
Despite this, it didn't bother dodging the attacks, continuing its rush ahead.
With a thunderous boom,
the blade in Austin's hand collided with the beast's horn in a mesmerizing clash of forces.
The fire beast was sent stumbling backwards, but Austin did not give up on his attack until he was
pushed back a few hundred steps. He nodded to himself in secret, pleased with this result, even if not
yet fully satisfied.
'In terms of just strength, this four legged beast certainly is more powerful than that flood dragon was.
Perhaps it depends on vicious attacks to defeat its opponents. It's got to be all out strength for it,
nothing more complicated.
This should be interesting. Another formidable opponent!'
Austin thought to himself cautiously, although he was admittedly a little excited.
He felt he would gain a lot from fighting such an opponent.
Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast had been travelling in the Absolute Space Sea for some
time and his strength had increased greatly. This was a good time to put all that power and combat
ability to a true test.
"One more!
Garrrrrr!"
The fire beast with flames blazing all over its body, strode over the void and charged forward, faster
and faster, picking up speed as it went.
Boom!
Their collisions left only sparks and booms as they darted here and there. It was difficult to see much
more than this.
Austin applied the bodily movement skill of reincarnation to its maximum and a crooked path appeared
beneath his feet.
He moved erratically, making it quite challenging to tell where he was from one moment to the next.
Sometimes, he even disappeared completely.
Thunderous bangs erupted all around.
The battle was intensely fierce; the reverberations of their collisions swept out in all directions, shaking
the entire star, as well as space and time, violently.
"Amazing! This little guy's power is simply beyond anything we could have imagined!"
"He's so young, and a human being. How is it that he has such strength? He's a genius!"
The beasts in the distance were discussing Austin's incredible talents, in awe of what they were
witnessing.
The whole area shook as the ear-splitting booms reverberated throughout.
Austin fought the fire beast in midair, occasionally falling to the ground.
"Triple Avatar Skill! Mind Sword Skill!"
Austin called upon two more secret skills.
Three identical versions of Austin immediately attacked the fire beast from three different directions.
The impact sent a deafening bang echoing across the world.
On top of that, one move of Mind Sword Skill cut into the fire beast's body after another, leaving it
squirming, trying to avoid it.
"Argh!
I did not think you mind power would have reached such a high level!"
The Mind Sword Skill seemed to be working. The fire beast's movements were slowing,
while Austin's were only getting quicker!
In a battle of such high intensity, Austin's combat ability was constantly improving.
A battle of this sort was a truly rare bit of practice for him.
His fight with the two beasts had allowed him to comprehend quite a lot.
Most surprising was that he felt a vague sense that he was getting more skillful with his control of the
blade in his hand.
It worked with him more perfectly; they were developing an airtight synergy. Plus, his blade skill had
improved further before he even knew it.
It was common knowledge that this blade was a magic treasure left behind by a god of chaos, with
information of numerous blade skills still remaining in it.
Austin assumed the longer he used it, the deeper his understanding of the blade skills left behind would
be.
He now had a valuable opportunity to practice and fought hard, him and the blade bonding closer
together with every swing.
Gradually, many insights of blade law poured into his Soul Sea, and at the same time, the blade skill he
displayed became only more brilliant.
The power it was giving him was getting increasingly more terrifying.
Every time they collided, the fire beast was forced back.
The beast was remarkably powerful, no doubt about it, but when faced with a magic treasure from a
god of chaos, even it was overwhelmed.
Every collision sent shockwaves through the beast's body and caused aches in every inch of its being.
"Chop!"
Austin suddenly shouted as their fight began heating up.
The blade in his hand slashed ruthlessly at the fire beast's head, and the immense blade power
drowned its body.
With a bang, its gigantic body was flung backward, crashing into the land off in the
distance.
