At the same time,
something was happening in a splendid ancient palace on another star close to where the Immortal
Tribulation Tree was found.
A seemingly gigantic humanoid creature sat in the hall of the palace.
Tremors ran through the very space due to the incredibly terrifying aura that the creature emitted.
A governing god suddenly walked into the hall in a rush.
"Sir, bad news!
A young human brat took the Immortal Tribulation Tree with him,"
he dutifully reported, his voice echoing within the hall.
"What? !
Who let this happen?!
Why didn't you report it earlier?!"
The humanoid creature rose from his seat and immediately flew into a rage.
"Sir, please don't be angry. That human brat arrived at that star a year ago!
He accepted the test of those primitive gifted beasts!
I thought he wouldn't be able to pass the test.
Countless creatures had their eyes on the Immortal Tribulation Tree for eons, but none of them had
ever succeeded.
I never could have imagined that this human boy would be able to defeat all the primitive gifted beasts
after just a year's worth of trying.
When he won, those beasts allowed him to take the Immortal Tribulation Tree with him.
Right after I received the news, I immediately came here to report this to you,"
that governing god hurriedly explained.
"How dare that brat! That Immortal Tribulation Tree is mine. I would cultivate there and take some fruits
every five years and now someone has the balls to take it away from me!
Quickly round up our men. We're going to arrest that shameless brat!"
the humanoid creature snarled, his face twisting in anger.
Over the years, he made sure to monopolize all the fruits of the Immortal Tribulation Tree. At some
point, he had begun to treat the tree as his personal property.
Much to his surprise, a thief stole it. It wasn't surprising that he was furious.
Not long afterwards, the humanoid creature set off to the star together with over a hundred governing
gods and a large army.
Meanwhile, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast, as well as the monsters from the two races,
were just about to leave.
Since the monsters of the two races had lived on this star for a very long time, they have a lot of things
to attend to now that they suddenly decided to leave.
While they were busy packing their things, a large army suddenly surrounded the star.
A humanoid creature with a tail and pale red skin appeared above the star.
"Human boy, you have the nerve to take the Immortal Tribulation Tree away from me. Do you want to
die that badly? I advise you to regrow the Immortal Tribulation Tree back to where it used to be
immediately.
If you don't do as I say, you wouldn't make it out of here alive,"
he warned, his eyes full of killing intent.
'This guy is claiming the Immortal Tribulation Tree for his self. What's going on?'
The humanoid creature's declaration left Austin confused.
"Sirs, didn't you promise that the Immortal Tribulation Tree would be mine as long as I passed the test?
Why is he saying that the tree belongs to him?
What the hell is this?"
Austin demanded, turning to look at the primitive gifted beasts.
"Little guy, there's no need to worry. We didn't lie to you.
He's the ruler of this space sea. He passed the test a long time ago.
Even though he could have gotten his hands on the Immortal Tribulation Tree, he gave up.
Instead, he decided to cultivate under the Immortal Tribulation Tree and collect its fruits every five
years.
Perhaps he thought no one else could defeat us except for him.
So he didn't take the Immortal Tribulation Tree with him after he passed the test.
I suppose he just regarded it as his property and expected us to guard the tree for him.
So when he learned that you got your hands on the Immortal Tribulation Tree, he hurriedly came here,"
one of the monsters explained.
'I see!'
Once he heard the simple explanation, Austin immediately understood the current events.
A monster jumped up and floated in midair.
"Sir, the Immortal Tribulation Tree now belongs to this young human because he successfully passed
the test. According to the rules our master made, the tree is now his,"
it reminded the humanoid creature.
"Stop talking nonsense!
I'm the first one to pass the test!
I left the Immortal Tribulation Tree here because I was hoping you'd guard it for me.
Never would I have thought that you'd allow this brat to take my tree. You're just a pile of garbage. How
disappointing!"
the humanoid creature bellowed in earnest, his rage making his eyes light up.
"Brat!
Hand over the Immortal Tribulation Tree right now, or you'll be buried here!" the humanoid creature
shouted, staring down on Austin with piercing eyes.
Terrifying law chains suddenly appeared around Austin, forming a cage which quickly flew towards him.
As soon as Austin stretched out his hand, the energy of the law of reincarnation appeared and
shattered that cage made from laws.
"Stop this,
you cocky bastard!
If you continue to make trouble here, we'll attack you together and tear you apart!"
The humanoid creature's behavior quickly got on the monsters' nerves and they let out ferocious growls
as their tempers flared up.
"Get your ass out of here!"
Hundreds of primitive gifted beasts roared as one, their voices making the star tremble.
"Humph!
How dare you be so rude in front of me, you pathetic losers?
All of you were defeated by me. You're nothing before me so it'll be better for you to stay out of this.
Otherwise, all of you will meet death by my hands!"
the humanoid creature said, a grim expression on his face.
"The Immortal Tribulation Tree is mine.
Whoever tries to steal it will pay the price with his life!"
the humanoid creature declared menacingly, his murderous gaze honing in on Austin.
There was no doubt that he could feel the aura of the Immortal Tribulation Tree emitting from Austin.
"It looks like there's no point in trying to talk some sense into you. I have the Immortal Tribulation Tree.
If you want it, try and get it.
If you don't have the guts to fight me, get your ass out of here!"
Austin snapped back, looking at the humanoid creature dead in the eye.
As usual, Austin was fearless. Since the Immortal Tribulation Tree was a precious treasure, there was
no way that he would give it to other people now that he got his hands on it.
"Good! Really good!
A wet behind the ears brat like you dare to talk to me like this.
You're not leaving this place alive!"
The humanoid creature felt his anger reach an even higher level because of Austin's words. Manic
laughter left his lips as he could no longer bottle his annoyance.
"Everyone,
attack the brat!" the humanoid creature ordered, gesturing to his men to attack Austin.
As soon as he stopped talking, more than ten governing gods standing behind him quickly dashed
forward towards Austin.
