"Going somewhere else would be futile.
Now that he has sensed my aura, he will be locked on the whole Sea of Chaos.
Once | make any movement, he will know my exact location right away.
Besides, where else would | go?
It's safer that | just stay here quietly and from now on, | will try not to leak any aura. He can't find my exact location or | will be
doomed,"
the statue said.
"That makes sense."
The twelve zodiac animals nodded in agreement helplessly. They wanted to help but it seemed like there was nothing they could
do.
"Forget it.
| have lived for such a long time.
If he findsnow, | think that will be my fate. Though it means | will perish, it doesn't matter anymore,"
the statue added, sighing.
"Master, don't worry so much. It's not a big deal. We will fight him to the death!"
the big black bull shouted.
"But what could we use to fight?
In my current state, | wouldn't even be able to resist his easiest moves.
As for you twelve, he could defeat you all with one blow.
We have no power to resist him.
Let's just stay here.
| just hope that he won't find where | am for a while,"
the statue replied.
"I took Austin as my disciple because | saw his talent and potential and hoped that he could grow powerful quickly.
One day, | want him to be my right-hand man and helpfight against my enemy.
However, | thought we would have decades and even centuries to do so.
Austin is still so weak now.
He can't helpmuch,"
the statue continued.
"Master, Austin has made rapid progress.
He's even better than the twelve of us.
Right now, he's in the Sword Cosmos. There, he might gain something and improve his strength further.
He might be able to help. We don't know yet,"
the sky-devouring dog said in a soothing voice.
"None of it will matter.
My enemy is a god of chaos, after all.
No matter how much progress Austin has made, it's impossible for him to helpfight against a god of chaos with his current
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstrength,"
the statue revealed.
Upon hearing those words, the twelve zodiac animals all fell silent.
It was true that no living being, including divine gods and governing gods, could be a match for the god of chaos!
The god of chaos could easily control everything.
"Master, Austin's strength has been increasing at an amazing speed.
With his potential, if you try your best to teach him when he returns, there may be a miracle,"
the sky-devouring dog suggested.
"I guess you're right. | will focus on Austin.
He will take over my reign.
Even if he can't helpfight against my enemy now,
when he grows stronger, he can take revenge for me,"
the statue said, agreeing.
"Right now, | need you all to set up more magic arrays around the Fallen Divine Valley to keep it invisible.
From now on, the Fallen Divine Valley will be completely closed and there will be no connection with the outside,"
the statue added.
"Got it."
The twelve zodiac animals nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile,
on the Divine Sword Mountain
in the Sword Cosmos,
Sword Son Curry, the old man in grey, and the four governing gods were all sitting cross-legged on the road, staring at the world of
swordsmanship floating in the air.
"You know what? It's impossible for this brat to pass the tests of the Divine Sword Mountain.
Sir, | think you are wasting your time,"
Rollins said to the old man in a sharp voice.
"Maybe he'll die in the world of swordsmanship,"
the other three governing gods added, smiling.
"This young man's talent is better than the four of yours combined.
What gives you the courage to even mock him?
You're all despicable!"
Sword Son Curry snapped.
"What? You think he's better than we are?
We are governing gods!
With this kid's strength, | could kill tens of thousands of people like him in one blow.
How could he be more talented than us? You must be kidding! In my eyes, he is nothing!"
Rollins retorted, rolling his eyes.
"Just be quiet, will you?
If you keep being disruptive, don't blme for driving you out,"
the old man in grey scolded. He was getting impatient as the two of them quarreled.
Immediately, Sword Son Curry and the four governing gods zipped their lips.
Offending the sword spirit of the Divine Sword Mountain was the last thing they would like to happen. They wanted to stay and see
what would happen to Austin.
Up in the world of swordsmanship, Austin was proceeding with his task.
‘This is the penultimate task,"
Austin murmured inwardly as he looked at the handsyoung man in front of him.
He had a friendly smile on his face but there was still a trace of evil in it.
"Are you ready? I'm going to make my move,"
the young man said as he pointed his finger at Austin. He would use his finger as his sword.
On the finger, there was a sword aura as slim as a strand of hair. It encircled the finger like a small snake or a ring.
"When | unleash this strike, it will gain its own consciousness. | will have a hard tcontrolling it,
so you have to be careful.
Even though | don't want to hurt you,
I'm not sure | can control the situation,"
he explained with a bright smile.
As soon as he had finished speaking,
with a whoosh,
the sword-light dashed at Austin.
Then, the hair-sized sword-light suddenly produced a whirlpool-like suctioning force. The light glowed brighter, absorbing all the
sword-light and sword intent in this world.
It all blended together and expanded at a rapid speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above them, clouds flew past and storms began to sweep over.
The aura of the sword-light rose continuously and no one seemed to be able to control it.
The light becstronger as
the surroundings becdarker.
Not long after, the whole world was completely dimmed.
It seemed that all the power, law energies, and essence of everything regarding swords in the world had been extracted and put
onto the hair-sized sword-light.
It drew everyone's eyes to it.
It seemed like the only thing existing in the world of swordsmanship at that moment.
"Marvelous!"
Austin couldn't help but praise as he watched the sword-light coming his way.
It was humongous in strength but it didn't worry him.
"My swordsmanship is not weak either!"
Without any fear, Austin stretched out his finger, which he would use as his sword, and slashed forward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhizzing!
An extremely strong, unparalleled sword-light flew out of Austin.
There was almost no flashy skill contained in this strike. It was a simple fusion of extremely strong sword energy and law of sword.
This sword strike could cut through any tand space in its way and could shake the whole world.
