At this moment, Humphrey stood still in the chaotic void, his eyes still fixed on the depths of the Fallen Divine Valley.
He clenched his fists as flames of fury becvisible in his eyes. An aura of extranger and exasperation enveloped him from
head to toe.
At the stime, the space around him kept fluctuating and deforming. There was an eerie atmosphere accompanied by an
unbearable pressure in the air, causing the space to collapse and disintegrate.
However, instead of taking action, Humphrey didn't move and tried his best to subdue his wrath.
"Fallen Divine Valley... I'll keep this in mind. We're not done yet.
Everybody, retreat!"
After a long while, Humphrey finally uttered these words through gritted teeth.
Immediately after, he turned around and vanished in an instant.
His soldiers, who surrounded the entire Fallen Divine Valley, were all stunned. They couldn't help but stare at each other, utterly
shocked at what just happened.
It took quite a while before they realized that Humphrey had actually retreated from the Fallen Divine Valley.
The news quickly spread, and all the powerful cultivators in the Sea of Chaos were also surprised at what they heard.
Humphrey had been famous for being invincible. However, as he tried to take the Fallen Divine Valley on, he encountered a more
terrifying opponent. Later on, he didn't expect that he would be forced to retreat without gaining anything.
Because of Humphrey's defeat in the Fallen Divine Valley, all the creatures had relived their fear and awe towards this legendary
forbidden area.
In the past, several governing gods also attempted to break into this area, but they utterly failed. Now, history repeated as
Humphrey tried to force his way and got the sresult.
The Fallen Divine Valley had once again proved that it was the most mysterious, horrifying, and powerful forbidden area in the
entire Sea of Chaos. Its reputation wasn't just a mere legend.
"Hey! Let us leave!
Master Humphrey has already issued the order to retreat!"
Eventually, Humphrey's soldiers regained their senses and gradually retreated with their minds in a state of mess.
They ran away like flood water.
On the other hand, the twelve zodiac animals burst into hearty laughter in the sky above the Fallen Divine Valley as they saw how
Humphrey and his men finally gave up. They sneered on their army, deeply satisfied with the outcof the battle.
"From now on, we shall not provoke the Fallen Divine Valley."
This order was issued to all the headquarters of several super forces in the Sea of Chaos.
"The Fallen Divine Valley is just too mysterious and terrifying. We don't even know the real identities behind the people controlling
that place!
Anyone should immediately avoid the people of the Fallen Divine Valley once you meet them!"
The powerful forces made their declaration clear so that they could avoid any unnecessary trouble.
It could be said that this battle had made the entire Sea of Chaos truly recognize the superiority of the Fallen Divine Valley.
No one expected that even Humphrey would give up and retreat from it, fearing for his own life.
With that, a jubilant atmosphere hovered in the Fallen Divine Valley.
"Cback, all of you."
The twelve zodiac animals then received the message from their master.
Without delay, they returned to the hidden square at the center of the Fallen Divine Valley using their top speed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's amazing!
Master, did you see Humphrey's face when you successfully get his ass kicked with your wisdom and omnipotent skills?"
"That's what he gets! He's a disgusting arrogant bastard. Now he must know that he can't always get what he wants!"
The twelve zodiac animals were all very excited. They stood in front of the tall statue and discussed everything that had happened.
"We can't be too careless now. | was forced to fight Humphrey earlier.
It also means that my aura has probably been exposed."
The statue suddenly let out a sigh as the zodiac animals chatted.
Suddenly, the joyous expressions on the faces of the twelve zodiac animals were wiped off. Hearing their master's words, they
realized the consequences of their victory for the first time.
As they all turned silent, they quickly knew what their master meant.
After all, their master had been hiding in the statue for many, many years. He had to conceal every bit of his aura lest his enemy
would find him.
"Although I'm not a hundred percent sure, there's a huge possibility that he had noticed my aura,"
the statue sighed.
"Master, you just revealed a little bit of your aura. There is still a chance that you have not exposed yourself."
The sky-devouring dog tried to be optimistic.
"Do you really think so?"
the statue looked intently at the sky-devouring dog and asked flatly.
Hearing the tone of its master, the sky-devouring dog fell silent.
It had to admit that it only said those words to console itself and have a false sense of positivity.
"Anyway, we must get ready.
It is highly possible that my old enemy will cforat any time.
Right now, I'm no match for him.
Thus, there is no other way but to escape.
Although we might not even make it, that's the only chance we can take for now,"
the statue said in a low and gloomy voice.
"Master, don't be so worried. We are here. We can fight him together with all our might! Even if it means that we have to put our
lives on the line. Death is not a big deal for us!"
The twelve zodiac animals seriously conveyed their support and indignation.
Countless years had passed, and they had been living a miserable and humiliating life, hiding in the Fallen Divine Valley just to
avoid their master's enemy.
It was actually fine for them if they could live a peaceful life in the Fallen Divine Valley forever. However, that was not the case.
They would still need to face the threat that their master's enemy would bring.
"For now, we could just wait and see what will happen in the near future.
We can still hope that he didn't notice my aura.
But we should assthe worst. All of you must be fully prepared at all times,"
the statue warned them.
"We understand, master."
All of the twelve zodiac animals nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile,
Humphrey had arrived in a very remote and hidden independent space in the Sea of Chaos.
He sat with his legs crossed and took a rest from all the running.
"What the hell is up with the Fallen Divine Valley?
| can't believe that I'm unable to do anything. | underestimated that forbidden area!"
Upon recalling the humiliation that he suffered in the fallen Divine Valley, Humphrey's face becsullen.
"That being who's controlling the Fallen Divine Valley is really powerful. But it seems to be a little afraid ofas well.
Otherwise, he would have shown up and fought withface-to-face.
Well, it seems that he is just a guy who just knows how to bluff.
Just you wait. | will get you sooner or later."
Humphrey let out a fit of cold laughter after giving this whole thing a careful thought.
His mouth was actually damaged, and this aggrieved him all the more.
"Austin managed to hurtfirst, then now the Fallen Divine Valley. I'll remember all of you who dared to hurt me. You will pay the
price someday!"
Humphrey exclaimed in vexation.
It was known to all that the mouth was a very important part, especially for a chaotic sky-devouring beast.
It could be said that half of a chaotic sky-devouring beast's fighting power actually cfrom its mouth.
The body of the chaotic sky-devouring beast that Humphrey possessed had just hatched, meaning that it was still susceptible to
injuries.
As it aged, its power would definitely becmuch stronger.
If ever Austin faced an adult chaotic sky-devouring beast with his current strength, he wouldn't be a match for it.
Therefore, for the next days, Humphrey had to give himself stto heal his injury in seclusion.
He must treat the wound on his mouth and make sure that it was completely recovered. It was such an important part, so he dared
not to put it at risk.
With this, the Sea of Chaos had regained temporary peace.
At the stime, Austin wasn't just dilly-dallying.
He was also doing his best to cultivate his skills.
Currently, he was staying at Master Sword's palace on the Divine Sword Mountain.
He needed to improve a lot in several aspects.
As he sat with his legs crossed, Austin concentrated on cultivating the Triple Avatar Skill.
With this skill, he could refine and materialize two avatars, which represented the user's version from the past and future.
Just recently, Austin's avatar that represented his future version was shattered by Humphrey.
Therefore, it was his priority to recreate and materialize this avatar again.
At this moment, two figures were sitting and facing each other inside the palace.
These two were Austin himself and his version of the past.
They sat still, both making the sgestures using their hands.
As they tried to recreate the avatar of Austin's version from the future, the process took quite a long time.
Eventually, a few months had already passed.
Then, one day, a loud yell was suddenly heard from within the palace.
"The seed of the past will bloom at present and produce the fruits in the future!" the two versions of Austin shouted at the same
time.
Their hands moved swiftly like fluttering butterflies. They also created numerous mysterious hand gestures with their hands one
after another.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGradually, the air surrounding Austin stirred and rippled. Then, a blurry image started to loom by their side.
As tpassed by, the vague image slowly becmore vivid.
Then, finally, the image began to stabilize.
The face of the image becvisible. The details of his face, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were already distinguishable.
The new avatar was formed and also looked very identical to the other two in terms of appearance and aura.
The avatar of Austin's version in the future was finally recreated.
"It's done!"
Seeing that the avatar had successfully materialized, Austin felt very relieved.
