The level-five governing god heaved a sigh. His frustration was evident.
"Young man, come with me," he told Austin.
"Okay,"
Austin agreed.
The level-five governing god made his way towards the universe community in front of them. Austin
and the chaotic sky-devouring beast trailed along behind him.
The other governing gods lowered their heads and stole wary glances at Austin and his companion,
unable to conceal their fear.
They were upset and angry at this turn of events, but they didn't dare to provoke Austin or the chaotic
sky-devouring beast any further.
One of the older governing god turned to the others, a dejected look on his face.
"There is always someone stronger.
This young man and the chaotic sky-devouring beast are not to be trifled with.
From now on, we must try our best to accommodate them.
If they are displeased with us, for any reason,
our chaotic sea will be in trouble.
Do you understand?"
he said grimly to other governing gods.
He was a relatively senior governing god in the Holy Chaotic Sea. He was a prestigious figure among
his peers and had earned the respect of other governing gods.
"Understood,"
the other governing gods replied as one, resigned to the situation.
In addition to the ones who were present now, hundreds of other governing gods lived in the Holy
Chaotic Sea.
They were in the middle of their cultivation.
However, the governing gods who had witnessed the terrifying fighting power of Austin and the chaotic
sky-devouring beast knew that they must decide for their companions.
They realized that even if those hundreds of other cultivating gods joined their ranks right now, they
wouldn't be able to defeat the two intruders who had demonstrated such incredible power.
Led by the level-five governing god, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast continued to move
forward.
They were traveling across an enormous universe community.
Almost half of this universe community was comprised of the supreme universes,
making it far stronger than the three thousand big and small universes.
Austin observed the areas they passed as they traveled, taking note of the signs of power and unique
characteristics of his surroundings. Eventually, they reached the core area of the universe community.
The level-five governing god entered a supreme universe, with Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring
beast following closely behind him.
"It's a fragment of the Memory Bridge!" a voice said in Austin's Soul Sea.
It was Old Lady Meng, who instantly sensed something the moment they entered the supreme
universe.
"You're right.
It's another piece of the Memory Bridge!"
Austin said with surprise, looking around at the depths of the supreme universe.
There was a broken bridge floating in the void. It gave off a strong aura of space and time. A brilliant
law of reincarnation emanated from the floating bridge.
Austin, excited, hurried forward.
As soon as he reached the broken bridge, Old Lady Meng appeared beside him.
"I am not mistaken! It is definitely a fragment of the Memory Bridge!" she exclaimed, trembling with
eagerness.
In the past, she had guarded the Memory Bridge on the road of reincarnation.
It had been like a home to her.
It was understandable that she was delighted by this familiar sight.
"I'll put it away,"
Austin said quickly.
But before he could make a move,
a figure showed up on the broken bridge.
Austin paused and stared at newcomer.
The mysterious figure was an old woman who felt strangely familiar.
After a moment, he realized that it was none other than Old Lady Meng.
It was another remnant soul of the formidable old woman.
"Madam, it's your remnant soul,"
Austin said to Old Lady Meng who stood beside him.
She nodded. "It is. Another remnant soul, like myself,"
she said, lifting a hand to wave at the figure on the bridge.
When two remnant souls met, they would merge, becoming one piece.
However, the Old Lady Meng on the broken bridge did not respond to this overture.
"What's going on with her?" the Old Lady Meng beside Austin said, frowning at this unexpected
response.
She sounded a bit bewildered.
At that moment,
the Old Lady Meng on the broken bridge stepped forward and lifted her own hand to wave.
Instantly, the Old Lady Meng with Austin was drawn forward by an irresistible force, flying towards the
figure on the bridge.
Austin thought that this was normal.
When two remnant souls met, the stronger one would absorb the weaker one.
Judging by what had happened, the Old Lady Meng on the bridge was more powerful than the remnant
soul accompanying Austin.
Therefore, Austin did not interfere when Old Lady Meng began flying away from him.
But the flying old lady was troubled.
She called out to the figure on the bridge.
"Something is amiss!
Who are you?
I can feel that you've refined my remnant soul!" she shouted.
There was suspicion and anger in her voice.
'I have to stop this!'
Austin thought, immediately grasping that Old Lady Meng had sensed something wrong about the old
woman on the bridge.
In an instant, a winding path appeared beneath his feet.
He ran to catch up with the Old Lady Meng who was flying inexorably towards the floating bridge.
As he ran,
Austin rapidly set up over a hundred arrays which surrounded the flying Old Lady Meng.
Simultaneously, he unleashed the world of mind power which enveloped the Old Lady Meng on the
bridge.
The overwhelming mind power in the illusionary world created by Austin closed in around the figure on
the bridge, attacking her continuously.
After a few more moments, the Old Lady Meng who was with Austin stopped flying forward, and landed
ahead of Austin on the winding path.
Austin caught up with her quickly.
"What's all this, madam?"
Austin asked, staring with narrowed eyes at the old woman on the broken bridge.
"My soul was contaminated. I can sense it.
It has been absorbed by other soul,"
Old Lady Meng explained.
"I see..."
Austin murmured, thinking.
Finally he came up with a plan.
"Let me take care of this," he said to Old Lady Meng.
"Very well,"
she agreed.
Although she was a very powerful existence, she had sustained severe injuries, and her soul had been
broken into dozens of pieces in a battle.
She was now only one of various soul fragments scattered in different places along with the fragments
of the broken Memory Bridge.
Each of the remnant soul fragments was far weaker than the original Old Lady Meng.
"You're digging your own grave, you brat!"
the figure on the bridge shouted, staring at Austin with resentment.
"You're the one who dug your own grave, whoever you are. I'll make you pay for daring to devour Old
Lady Meng's remnant soul,"
Austin said coldly, glaring back at her.
With that,
he activated the world of mind power, unleashing the full force of his powers.
An enormous amount of mind power blasted the figure on the bridge.
It was impossible to resist such an attack.
The figure absorbed all the hits, one after another, roaring in pain and rage.
"Prepare to die," Austin said indifferently.
He performed the Destruction Sword Skill. A fearsome sword aura descended on the fraudulent Old
Lady Meng.
At the same time, Austin unleashed the law of reincarnation. It transformed into thick chains and shot
towards the old woman.
The Old Lady Meng on the bridge did not have the power to resist Austin's relentless attacks.
She was already injured, and she took several steps backwards, her face pale and frightened.
"Go to hell!" Austin shouted suddenly,
and sent a final barrage of powerful sword auras to attack the figure on the bridge.
"Brat, you're courting death!"
the old woman on the bridge growled, fury overtaking her fear.
However,
even as she tried to strike back, she exploded under the force of Austin's attacks.
The figure of Old Lady Meng vanished entirely, reduced to specks of dust floating gently in the air.
There was a series of deafening booms in the distance. Austin waited.
Rolling black fog then swept forward across the bridge.
A foul energy emanated strongly from the fog. Austin and Old Lady Meng waited on the path, tense
and alert.
After several seconds, a creature of darkness came into view. Austin realized that the remnant soul of
Old Lady Meng on the bridge had been devoured and refined by this foreboding
creature.
