Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One by one, Austin unleashed his sword-light. Each light was as sharp and deadly as six thousand sword moves were concentrated into one. It was enough to cut through space like cutting through tofu.
It slashed through everything until it hit the raging sea of flames. The impact caused a deafening explosion. Shock waves of the blast flew up in the sky.
The demonic avatar was not afraid of the burning flames for it knew that its skin was as hard as an armor. It would barely feel the heat. So it rushed towards Devil Ancestor Bale for the killing blow.
Swish!
At the last minute, Devil Ancestor Bale pulled out his dark, diabolical sword and swept its lethal blade across Austin's waist.
"Great! The mighty demon ancestor has finally defeated its enemy!"
Devil Ancestor Bale stood proudly as the demons around him cheered.
As the applause went on, Austin's chopped body shuddered slightly. Suddenly, it disintegrated into spots of lights until it disappeared completely.
It turned out that it was just an illusion. This was not Austin's real body at all.
He had used his powers to distort and deform spatial structures and turned them into a fake body.
This strange strategy had actually fooled Devil Ancestor Bale!
"He used spatial power!"
Devil Ancestor Bale fumed.
"So, it turned out to be fake?!"
All the demons around them were dumbfounded by the turn of events.
Boom!
An earth-shattering sound flew over them from afar.
The fierce battle between the three had shook the universe.
By condensing the power of six thousand sword moves into one, Austin was confident that he could defeat Devil Ancestor Bale.
It was also partly because his opponent had been seriously injured and weakened.
With the combination of all his special martial arts skills, he would be able to produce an immensely powerful attack enough to kill Devil Ancestor Bale.
With his physical strength and spiritual power, Austin had fought bravely against Devil Ancestor Bale. He met each attack head on. And e
stor Bale smiled mockingly as he approached Austin.
With each step, the ground beneath his feet shook violently.
"This ends now, Austin.
Though I have to admit, you are indeed a rarity. If you keep on like this, your strength will surpass me eventually.
But you are too impatient. You dare break into the Third Demonic World to seek revenge before you are strong enough.
Now, I will have to kill you."
As he got closer to Austin, Devil Ancestor Bale let out his full power. The world shook violently as thunderbolts tore through the sky.
But then, Austin raised his head, revealing a golden eye nestled between his eyebrows. It opened suddenly with a sting.
Strange streaks of light shot through the sky, one after another. It devoured every other lights in the world until everything went dark.
The entire world descended into the darkness. It was difficult even for the spiritual sense to find out what was going on.
Through the darkness, however, the golden eye was visible. It stared at Devil Ancestor Bale intently.
"Don't get so cocky yet, you old bastard!
Look at me!"
Austin shouted.
"What?"
Startled, Devil Ancestor Bale locked gaze with the golden eye.
All of a sudden, he felt his spiritual soul slowly leaving his body. It was pulled by a mysterious force towards the golden eye.
Cold dread clawed through his heart.
