"That was amazing!"
Austin enthusiastically showered the fire source beast with praise.
"Ha-ha!
I'm flattered. It's a good thing that I'm more powerful than those guys.
If they ever decide to come back and pester you again, don't hesitate to call my name."
The fire source beast proudly defended his friend.
"Thank you. I appreciate your help. I'd be in a pinch if it weren't for you,"
Austin wholeheartedly thanked as he gave his friend a wide smile. He continued,
"By the way, your ability to control the eight sacred fires is fantastic! I've never seen anything like it
before!"
He recalled the fire source beast controlling the eight sacred fires during his fight. In Austin's
perspective, it was truly a remarkable thing!
Each fire held an astonishing burning power. Their combined power should not be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the fire source beast held his head up high with great confidence as he controlled the
movement of the eight sacred fires. Even though he was outnumbered, he still exuded the courage that
ruled his heart. In fact, the sacred fires did not scare him at all. After all, he could control them easily
and even transform them into a fatal weapon.
"Thank you, Austin. This is because our race has a lot of inheritances related to fire-controlling. I have
lived in the Eight Fires Valley for a long time, and I have thoroughly understood the attributes of the
eight sacred fires, so I can easily control them,"
the fire source beast responded.
"I see."
Austin nodded.
"Hmm, I can teach you the inheritance of our race. That is, of course, if you want to,"
the fire source beast nonchalantly offered.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I'd love that! But, am I qualified to learn it, too?"
Austin asked with expectant eyes, unable to contain his excitement.
After all, cultivating the skills of other races was difficult unless one was actually a part of them.
For Austin, it would take rigorous effort to make it happen. He should also have the required physique
and bloodline before he could maximize the skill's power.
"Well, that would depend on your talent.
You can give it a try.
If you have knack for controlling fires, there's a huge chance you can do it.
So, what do you say? Do you want to give it a go?"
the fire source beast confirmed.
"Of course! Since you are willing to teach me, I would be honored to give it a shot."
Austin was itching to have a try.
"You are my good friend. Of course I'd be happy to teach you."
The fire source beast laughed good-naturedly.
In the following days, Austin stayed in the Eight Fires Valley and began to cultivate all kinds of fire
controlling skills under the guidance of the fire source beast.
He had practiced the Original Reincarnation Law of Fire out of the Nine Original Laws of Reincarnation
before. Therefore, he was familiar with the cultivation methods of the fire attribute.
Thanks to this, cultivating fire controlling skills was not a foreign concept for him.
"I didn't expect you to be so talented in this kind of cultivation, Austin!"
the fire source beast commended.
While Austin was preoccupied with his cultivation aided by the fire source beast,
the Absolute Space Sea was baffled with a piece of astonishing news.
Emory, the sixth leader of the Time Chamber Sect, had died.
All the members of the Time Chamber Sect were mourning his untimely death.
His subordinates, most especially, were at their worst state—they grieved for him as if they had lost a
close relative.
When the remaining eight leaders returned to the headquarters, they all raised their heads and roared,
venting their anger.
At this point, every creature in the Absolute Space Sea had heard of the mind-boggling news.
It had caused a sensation.
When they first heard of it, they were in absolute disbelief.
Everyone knew how powerful the nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect were—each of them ruled
over a region of their own.
Although they were not as strong as the three Lords of Darkness and the three Lords of Reincarnation,
they were also highly regarded.
They remained a super power in the Absolute Space Sea for eons! In the other creatures' perspective,
they couldn't be hurt or killed.
But now, astonishingly, one of them had died. They simply could not wrap their heads around it.
In great shock, all the creatures from different forces began to inquire and speculate about what had
happened.
Before long, the details about how Emory died were revealed.
"Did you hear? They told us that the nine leaders of the Time Chamber Sect went out to hunt down a
young man called Austin and chased him all the way into the Eight Fires Valley.
After an intense fight, Emory died there."
"No way!
Do you mean to tell me that Austin killed Emory?!
Isn't he just a governing god?"
"I don't believe it.
I have heard countless tales about Austin's escapades and his immense power. He has destroyed
many strongholds of the Time Chamber Sect and the darkness race, forcing them in a difficult situation.
However, no matter how powerful he is, it's impossible for him to kill Emory."
"You are right.
I have heard from others that it wasn't really Austin that killed Emory. It was a mysterious figure in the
Eight Fires Valley that helped him do the deed.
Apart from it, he also killed several demon guards of darkness."
Creatures from all space seas were talking about Emory's death.
Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Time Chamber Sect,
the eight leaders sat in the huge hall in silence.
They were absolutely speechless, still unable to wrap their heads around what happened.
They had their fill of screaming, shouting, and venting. Finally, they had calmed down a bit. Their faces
were unexplainably depressed.
Thinking of what they had experienced in the Eight Fires Valley, they felt utterly miserable. As the
leaders of the Time Chamber Sect, they had dominated the Absolute Space Sea for countless years,
and they had never experienced such staggering humiliation.
They were confident that once they joined forces, they could finally catch Austin and get their hands on
the Magical Polarity Token. However, the circumstances worked against their favor—one of them died
a gruesome death. This made everything even harder to accept.
"We must avenge Emory!"
Solomon vowed through gritted teeth.
"It's going to be very difficult, Solomon. As long as Austin continues to hide in the Eight Fires Valley, it
will be difficult for us to deal with him.
The fire source beast is too powerful."
Benicio frowned.
The other leaders were silent, because they knew that what he said was true.
Back in the Eight Fires Valley, even if they worked together, they had no chance of overthrowing the fire
source beast.
As long as he remained there, dealing with Austin was out of the question.
"Let's wait for Austin to come out.
He can't hide in the Eight Fires Valley forever.
He will come out one day,"
Solomon said after a moment's silence.
"Moreover, we will fully cooperate with the darkness race to deal with the reincarnation race from now
on.
Just like them, the darkness race will definitely not let go of Austin. We and Austin are sworn enemies,
so we will ally with the darkness race.
Austin provoking us meant that he had set himself against us. The reincarnation race will have one
more powerful enemy,"
Solomon continued.
"Yes! It's an absolute must that we avenge Emory!
Plus, if we don't kill Austin, we will always be a laughing stock in the Absolute Space Sea!"
Bartholomew nodded in agreement.
