"What the hell did you mean by that?
Are you telling us that we're going to lose to a brat like you?!
Ha! You should know the limitation of your arrogance, brat!" the old face scoffed coldly.
"Actually, yes.
That's exactly what I mean.
I'm glad you understood it easily," Austin responded with a playful smile.
The supreme grandmaster of the face race should be about as powerful as the supreme grandmaster
of the wood puppet race.
Hence, Austin was confident enough that he could deal with him and all his underlings.
"Supreme grandmaster, don't waste your time on this brat! Leave him to us. We can take care of him!"
The members of the face race, including the governing gods, rushed towards them and were about to
attack Austin.
"Stay out of this! As much as I don't want to admit it, you are not a match for him.
Only I can deal with this guy," the supreme grandmaster said in a serious tone.
"Fine! Show me what you've got, you cocky bastard. Let's see if you can even get past me."
Then, the supreme grandmaster started floating towards Austin.
"All right.
I'm going to beat you so hard in front of your subordinates, and then I'll do the same to them," Austin
sneered as he taunted the supreme grandmaster.
Immediately after, he made his way towards his enemy.
At the same time, the supreme grandmaster opened his mouth and prepared to attack Austin.
Thick energy columns suddenly shot out from his huge mouth and darted towards Austin.
Boom! Boom!
Seeing these terrifying energy columns, Austin could instantly tell that his opponent was not to be trifled
with.
'It looks like the supreme grandmaster of the face race is just slightly weaker than Humphrey.
Even ordinary governing gods would be slaughtered without difficulty if they faced him,' Austin
remarked in his mind.
Then, Austin brandished his blade and hurriedly unleashed a vast amount of blade energy and blade
laws to counter his adversary's incoming blow.
The overbearing blade light instantly tore the space and collided with the energy columns that were
created by the supreme grandmaster.
At the same time, Austin also set up more than ten arrays that surrounded the supreme grandmaster.
Soon enough, the supreme grandmaster found that his movements had become slower. It was as if
there was an unseen force that was restraining his entire body.
"Damn it! What did this brat do to me?" he murmured to himself through gritted teeth, startled at what
he found out.
At this point, he realized that Austin's fighting power was way beyond what he was expecting.
In the past, he could have beaten Austin. However, he didn't expect that Austin would become this
strong since the last time they met.
"Fine. I must admit that I underestimated you, brat.
But don't you think that you can bring me down that easily!"
The supreme grandmaster's expression became gloomier and more serious.
He was vexed that this young man was actually pushing him to his limits.
But then, as the supreme grandmaster finished speaking, Austin noticed that the space around him
began to distort.
He realized that the old man must go all out from here onwards.
Then, a horrifying spatial power surged out and came at him from all directions.
'Oh? It turns out that the members of the face race are also good at using the law of space.
This is going to be interesting,' Austin thought to himself as he let out a faint smile.
In fact, he perceived that the supreme grandmaster was even better at him when it came to spatial law.
As a counterattack, Austin focused and unleashed the law of reincarnation.
Eventually, the law of reincarnation transformed into chains that spread in all directions to disrupt the
law of space from advancing further.
As the two laws clashed, the supreme grandmaster's law of space was fully hindered, and Austin
wasn't harmed at all.
"What the heck?! I can't believe that your cultivation base of the law of reincarnation is this high!
The law of space that I'm so proud of was rendered useless?" the supreme grandmaster snarled
viciously.
Frustrated and enraged, he wanted to crush Austin all the more.
Out of the blue, he opened his mouth again.
Then, it steadily grew bigger until an entire space was able to fit inside it. Soon after, it produced a
tremendous suction force which pulled everything in the vicinity, including Austin.
However, Austin quickly recognized that the supreme grandmaster's devouring power was inferior to
that of the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
After all, the chaotic sky-devouring beast race boasted the devouring power as one of their best skills.
Therefore, Austin was not fazed to see that the supreme grandmaster was using this attack against
him.
He could even handle Humphrey's devouring ability, meaning that it should be just a piece of cake for
him to counter and destroy the supreme grandmaster's version of this skill.
A moment after, Austin took a step back.
At the same time, he unleashed the law of reincarnation again.
Immediately after, the law of reincarnation condensed into thick chains that shot towards the mouth of
the supreme grandmaster.
Without wasting any second, Austin made another move and waved his blade.
Thick blade radiance surged out and rained towards the supreme grandmaster's mouth.
He had also quickly set up several arrays that flew into his foe's mouth along with the blade radiance to
utterly crush it.
With all the devastating strikes that Austin threw all at once,
the supreme grandmaster eventually found himself in a very disadvantageous situation.
Austin's attacks were so overwhelming that he couldn't defend himself from all of them.
With this, blood began to gush out from his mouth due to all the damage that he sustained.
It was pretty obvious that at this point, he was being overpowered.
"Argh! Damn this annoying bastard!"
The supreme grandmaster couldn't help but curse loudly and let out a miserable roar.
Finally, his huge mouth began to retreat, unable to take more of Austin's fierce attacks.
The supreme grandmaster had no choice but to deactivate his devouring power because of the severe
injuries that he acquired.
In a flash, his huge mouth disappeared into thin air.
Then, immediately after, the old face reappeared floating in the air again.
It was visible from his expression that he was in incredible pain.
At this point, he stopped attacking Austin.
Wounds could be seen all over his face as blood continued to gush out from them.
Austin stared at the supreme grandmaster with an indifferent expression.
He could tell that his opponent had sustained significant damages that clearly weakened his fighting
power.
"So, why did you stop? Are you going to surrender now?
Just say the word. I'm not that merciless," Austin teased.
"Yeah, I guess so. Even if I desperately struggle, I know that I won't be able to beat you."
Surprisingly, the supreme grandmaster was more sensible than most of Austin's previous opponents.
He had already performed all of his best moves, including the brilliant secret skills of their race, but he
wasn't even able to leave a scratch on Austin.
There wasn't a single moment that he gained the upper hand.
Moreover, the young man had yet to unleash his full power, but he was already seriously injured.
Thus, logically, it was meaningless for him to continue this losing battle.
"Young man, I can see that you have indeed grown much stronger.
I hate to say it, but I'm way too inferior to you now,"
the supreme grandmaster uttered as he let out a deep sigh.
In the world of cultivators, strength was the only deciding factor.
No matter what your status in life was, if one had the strength, everyone would certainly acknowledge
him.
In this case, the supreme grandmaster knew that he was weaker than Austin, so he had to swallow his
pride and admit defeat.
"I think you're smart enough to know that if you continue this, you're just going to suffer a lot more,"
Austin said as he displayed his authority.
"Yes, I do. We won't offend you anymore."
The supreme grandmaster expressed his resignation after a brief moment of silence.
"We are the losers, so what do you want from us?"
the supreme grandmaster asked straightforwardly.
"I actually like that you're being direct.
Well, let's see.
I haven't really thought of what I should do..."
At the same time, the supreme grandmaster felt panic-stricken but tried his hardest to conceal it.
"I hope you're not planning to destroy our race.
After all, we are a pretty rare and special race.
You can tell us what you want, and we will bestow it if it's within our capability."
The supreme grandmaster stood up for his entire race and bargained for their lives.
"So, what can you give me in return?
Do you have something in mind?" Austin asked, pretty interested at what the supreme grandmaster
was going to offer.
"I can tell you about the space-related secret skills of our race, and the other things that I've learned
about the spatial law,"
the supreme grandmaster replied without hesitation.
Seeing that Austin didn't object, he immediately put a spiritual soul message into the young man's Soul
Sea.
Then, Austin quickly took a look at it and found that the supreme grandmaster did have a profound
understanding of the spatial law.
Moreover, the space-related secret technique that he got from the supreme grandmaster of the face
race was apparently different from what the gnome had mastered. Thus, it turned out to be another
piece of valuable collection.
"All right, I'll accept this.
In return, I won't do anything to your race for the time being.
But if you overstep your boundaries again, you know what will happen to you," Austin declared sternly.
The truth was he really had no intention of exterminating the face race from the very beginning.
The main reason was because of the two evil beasts, which guarded this supreme universe.
He thought that if he eliminated both the wood puppet race and the face race, the two evil beasts might
get mad at him.
