The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The journey didn't last too long and very soon, Austin and Angus reached an empty room which was so vast that it might have

easily extended a dozen miles.

This room, was located on the third floor of the Emperor Library.

A faded portrait was hanging on the wall and one could barely make out its subject: a middle-aged man with a graceful appearance

and a noble-featured face. He was standing in the picture, with hands on his back, and there was a deep and sharp look in his

eyes. However, this was no mere painting. It was, what one might call a doorway of sorts.

"Can this painting get us to the FlEmperor?"

Angus asked, as he looked at the picture on the wall with a curious expression.

Austin merely nodded in confirmation without saying a word, and then used his spiritual sense to activate the painting.

Just as Angus was looking at the painting and about to say how dilapidated it was, optical waves emitted from it and flew towards

them.

Then, a black dot appeared in the middle of the picture. It began to grow bigger by the minute and very soon, it had formed a

black whirlpool.

Austin calmly stepped into the center of the whirlpool and Angus followed pursuit.

The two of them were instantly transported;

within the span of a second, they found themselves standing in a vast, green, and fresh-looking lawn.

"Ha-ha.

Austin, is that really you? Of course it is you!"

They could see that a man was striding towards them with a warm pace. He was dressed in flaming red robes and looked powerful

despite his friendly appearance.

He was the FlEmperor.

As soon as Austin had entered the Emperor Library, the FlEmperor had sensed his presence and he had been expecting him.

"Oh, and Angus is here too. Good. It has been quite a while since we last met, huh?

Hang on?

You even rebuilt your physical body? Damn!

And shit I'm so envious of you," the FlEmperor greeted Angus.

He had noticed that Angus had risen from the dead and had also noticed the prcondition he was in.

There was an obviously envious tone in his voice.

To be frank, Angus had also looked forward to remodeling his body, and the FlEmperor himself was eager to cback to life

too.

But Angus had beaten him to it and had also upgraded his body.

"Oh, there is no need to get jealous, or even envious. | am sure you too will cback from the dead one day, and pretty soon,"

Angus assured him with a genuine smile.

Even though the FlEmperor and he hadn't been on the best of terms initially, and had also fought with each other, they had

made amends and becgood friends after knowing what they two had been through.

"Hello, FlEmperor,"

Austin greeted the emperor, making his way towards him with a happy pace.

"Ho-ho! You have already broken through into the Primal Holy Realm from the Sky Realm within just three years. Looks like | was

wrong.

| underestimated your talent, didn't I?

It turns out you really are an exceptional genius when it comes to martial arts.

You know, very few people are as talented as you are, even on the Divine Continent where | lived. And | wouldn't be surprised if |

bet that you are the best martial artist on the PrMartial World and won that!

| have an intuition that you can helprestore my physical body." The FlEmperor was practically gushing.

He was pleasantly surprised and delighted to find that Austin had reached the Primal Holy Realm.

"Judging by his performance and the pace at which he has made progress over the last few years, he is indeed a rare and talented

cultivator. | don't suppose anyone would ever believe that a Sky Realm cultivator entered the Primal Holy Realm in such a short

span of time..." Angus also praised the young man.

He had reacted exactly like the FlEmperor had done when he had first found out about Austin's cultivation base.

"But, on a serious note, Austin. Are you sure that you want to leave for the Divine Continent with me?

What | mean to say is, your family, friends, masters, and comrades are all here. Can you really bear the thought of leaving them

behind and going to such a faraway land?" the FlEmperor asked, staring Austin in the eye.

His tone had also turned serious with the topic.

This was the thing he cared about the most.

The biggest wish he had, was to return to the Divine Continent, restore his physical body, and finally get the revenge he had been

waiting for since hundreds of years ago.

"Rest assured, FlEmperor.

| have aspired to be an excellent martial artist all my life. To achieve that, | resolved to spend my whole life cultivating, and

overcall difficulties | encounter along the way. | want to reach the summit of martial arts.

The PrMartial World is my home, true.

But it is a backward place. It's not bad per se, but it's also not a good place for ambitious cultivators. There isn't an abundant

source of spiritual energy, and luck over there. And there are very few profound martial arts skills we can learn over there.

Staying there would only holdback.

So yeah, | am sure that | want to leave this place and cultivate in a superior world.

And the Divine Continent seems a suitable enough choice.

In fact, my mind is already made up. Even if you hadn't askedto accompany you there, | would have found a way to get there

on my own.

After | take care of matters here, I'll definitely go to the Divine Continent with you,"

Austin replied in a determined tone.

He had now made it clear to the FlEmperor that he was serious about his pursuits of martial arts. And not just basics of the

craft, but the very pinnacle of its mastership.

"Good, good. That's very good to hear.

Ha-ha. Now | have nothing to worry about," the FlEmperor gushed once again.

He could tell by his tone that Austin wasn't lying to him.

"I never expected you to be such a strong-willed cultivator.

I'm very glad to hear that you're determined about your destination.

And you are right. The PrMartial World is a low-grade world and while it is great for learning the basics, but it will have a very

negative impact if someone wants to go on to the top-grade skills.

Austin, you're a very promising young man and you're destined to travel to a superior world. You're destined for greatness."

Angus voiced out his thoughts, nodding approvingly at Austin's determined statement.

"All right. It's tto get out of here.

Hang on a minute... You are just a soul, aren't you? How are you going to leave this place?"

Austin enquired.

The way of the world was that a cultivator's spiritual soul couldn't exist in the Real Space for a long tafter leaving the Soul Sea.

It would fade and vanish!

The Soul Sea, however could nourish the souls that stayed inside it and they could live on. Once the cultivator's soul got out of it,

the energy inside it would ebb away slowly until it vanished into thin air.

That was not to say it was impossible for them to exit the soul sea. A few methods did exist to prevent these souls from fading into

thin air even after exiting the Soul Sea. They could either be kept in containers with sarcane spells or magic treasures that

had the power to nourish them or in certain environments which made it possible, they could exist for a longer period of tthan

usually possible.

Austin was aware of the fact that the place where the FlEmperor had been living until now was a special space which could

nourish his soul for a long time. That was how his soul hadn't ended up faded by now.

That was also the case with Angus. His spiritual soul had also survived a few hundred years in the valley.

But once the FlEmperor's spiritual soul left this special space, Austin was worried that he would perish soon, vanishing into

thin air and disappearing without a trace.

The Emperor, however, had a plan!

"Oh, don't worry. | can enter your Soul Sea. I'll be safe as long as | stay inside,"

the FlEmperor assured him with a laugh.

"Hey yeah, you're right. Why didn't | think of that?" Austin remarked, his face lighting up.

'The guy's right. Once he enters my Soul Sea, it will replenish him and he won't fade out due to energy loss."

"You plan to enter Austin's Soul Sea?"

Angus murmured with a stunned look at the FlEmperor. This was unexpected!

"Oh no, no. Don't look atthat way. | know why you're so concerned.

Rest easy. It won't hurt him. | will give him an orb of my spiritual soul

That way, if at any point of time, | do try to hurt him, he could stopinstantly," the FlEmperor explained flatly.

To be blunt, he was completely dependent on Austin for fulfilling his wishes right now. What was more, he fully trusted him.

Therefore, he didn't mind putting his life completely in Austin's hands.
