A fierce battle began in the Fighting Star Cluster. Everyone knew the destruction caused would be unimaginable.
With terrifying momentum and energy, every creature that was part of the Universal Allied Army wildly rushed at the corpse soldiers who were ahead.
Their attack was so ferocious that it seemed as if they were releasing their anger on their opponent. They were fighting bravely without any fear of death. In their minds, they had only one thought: annihilate all the invaders!
Indeed, it was bound to happen. Earlier that day, they had felt there was no way to escape as they witnessed the death of countless comrades. Such thoughts and atrocities made them feel so depressed.
A ray of hope arose when Austin joined them with the army of the Immortal End Alliance. Due to the presence of Austin and the huge army, they saw some hope of victory.
Hence, the soldiers of the Universal Allied Army and other living creatures geared themselves and fought their enemies more bravely. They knew how everything was on stake.
"March ahead!"
"Let's kill these bastards. I've slain a dozen corpse soldiers and have no regrets even if I die any moment now."
The shouts and war-cries given by them shook the sky. Their desperation had given them more energy. They directed all their hatred, helplessness and anger towards the corpse soldiers as they were tired of being oppressed.
'Not bad!' Austin thought. He was completely surprised to see the passion with which all of them were fighting.
He didn't expect that his words would boost the morale of the creatures so much. They were putting in all their efforts to destroy their enemies.
"This is not working! If we want to defeat our opponents, we must attach their strength. Here it is Austin. So, let's exterminate him first!"
As soon as those words were uttered, nearly all the remaining men, who were in black robes, rushed towards Austin.
They were well aware that Austin was the key of the battle. It was clear to them that as soon as they got rid of Austin, they could win everything easily.
"Ha-ha! Do you think you can take my life? You dead things think you can get rid of me?" Austin said with a smile full of disdain.
He activated the Omnipotent Lightness. In an instant, he reached one of the black-robed men. He waved his sword, which had been forged by a genuine immortal, at his opponent. It started to create strong sword-light which contained the power of fifty thousand beams of sword-light.
The man in the black robe was taken aback by the attack. Quickly he raised his dark sickle to withstand his attack.
The air echoed with the clanging sound when the sword and the sickle collided with each other.
The impact was so strong that the latter was sent flying away and disappeared into the distance.
Just then a figure rushed out of Austin's body.
It turned into a huge shadow of the red demonic mouse. The shadow dashed forward and smashed the man in a black robe violently. There was no chance th
hey were extremely saddened.
On seeing the cold dead bodies, tremendous grief consumed them.
The troops of the underworld left so quickly that they didn't have the time to take these corpses away.
All the bodies around were the spoils of the corpse soldiers of the underworld. They didn't bother though it was their task to collect the corpses.
But as no one was there to claim them, the dead bodies floated in the air.
Gradually, everyone began searching for their dead family members, friends and fellow disciples.
Although they had won the battle, all of them were overwhelmed by sadness at the sight of the dead bodies that were covered in blood.
"Let's go!" Austin said to his crew.
Austin checked the entire star cluster with his spiritual sense. He was relieved when he found no trace of corpse soldiers. After that, he intended to leave with the army of the Immortal End Alliance.
"Wait! Wait a minute, Leader Austin!"
Suddenly, he heard someone call out. With that several masters at the sect leader's level flew towards Austin.
Each of them was incredibly powerful.
They were only slightly weaker than the top-notch masters, like the leader of the Yaksha Palace.
"Yes?"
Austin was surprised to see them rushing towards him. He stopped and looked at them in bewilderment.
"Leader Austin, we have a request. You know that we are the temporary leaders of the Universal Allied Army.
After discussion among ourselves, we have reached an agreement. We want to tell you that we are willing to serve under your command and take orders from you.
Please take us with you so that we can fight the troops of the underworld together!"
one of the men, an elder in a blue robe, said respectfully as he drew closer to Austin.
"What? All of you want to follow me? Are you sure?" Austin said. He stood gaping at them.
It had completely shocked him. He knew everyone had seen his might when he fought against those black-robed men. But he hadn't seen this coming.
