Boom!
Austin absorbed the essences of the swords one by one until they turned into ordinary swords.
Inside the hall, several long swords fell to the ground from time to time after being sucked dry.
Time passed slowly inside the hall where the trial was taking place.
At that time, Austin continued to absorb more and more sword essences.
However, the swords that kept on appearing seemed to be limitless.
Even though Austin was striving real hard to absorb as many as he could, the hall was still densely packed with dangerous swords emitting terrifying auras.
As time passed by, Austin was surprised at what he noticed.
Up until now, he was only able to absorb the swords that belonged to preliminary-grade and medium-grade divine gods.
The ones that belonged to premium-grade divine gods were all scattered far away and weren't responding to him.
As soon as he noticed this, Austin sat within the circle on the ground that was drawn by the Yaksha. He quickly released his spiritual sense to intentionally communicate with the swords left behind by premium-grade divine gods, but to no avail.
Earlier, the Yaksha said that there were actually two long swords in the hall that belonged to governing gods.
However, even with Austin's strong spiritual sense, he wasn't able to find them.
'Such a shame. This must mean that my swordsmanship level is still too low.
I'm not yet strong enough to communicate and absorb the swords that were used by premium-grade gods and governing gods, ' Austin thought to himself as he let out a bitter smile.
However, this didn't hold him back. This actually pushed him harder to acquire every sword that he could.
As he absorbed more and more swords, his swordsmanship level began to gradually increase.
He continued patiently, perceiving a faint sense of transformation within him little by little.
Eventually, days passed.
Austin was still immersed in the cultivation and comprehension of his swordsmanship.
Then, finally, a month passed.
Inside the hall, Austin stood from the circle on the ground.
Boom!
As he suddenly opened his eyes, an impeccable aura suddenly gushed out from his body.
Two streaks of divine sword radiance beamed from his vicious eyes, like flashes of lightning during a violent thunderstorm.
He took a quick glance at his body and smiled faintly in satisfaction.
"This is from more than three hundred swords, huh? Not bad."
He was pretty excited to try his newly-acquired strength.
"Maybe I am not able to absorb those swords that belonged to premium-grade divine gods, but this is also great on its own."
The number of swordsmanship essences that he absorbed was not to be underestimated. Even if they we
e rewarded handsomely once you pass it.
Now, I'm wondering if this place is meant for acquiring various resources through trials.
Is it possible that it was designed by a great master?
If I had known of this, I should have gone to this place before and went through the trials.
Maybe that's why so many divine gods have been venturing into the Fallen Divine Valley since ancient times. I'm thinking if it's really a very dangerous place as they say."
Tyrone speculated and was a bit excited.
"Don't be too complacent. You said so yourself. Since ancient times, divine gods have continuously entered this forbidden land.
However, how many of them were able to leave alive?
Did you forget that even Frost and Brain came here and went missing too? And we know that neither of them has made it out yet. We don't know if they're still alive somewhere or if they're already dead.
I don't really think that someone would dare use this forbidden land as a place of trials,"
Ingram laid out his thoughts.
"Hmm, that's right.
I guess I was just caught up with the astounding rewards that one could obtain in this place.
And yes, it's too good to be true,"
Tyrone immediately agreed as he heard Ingram's explanation.
"For now, I'm really curious about those palaces.
Why don't we check them out?" Ingram pointed out and suggested.
"Yes. It has been bothering me ever since the first second I saw them," Austin said.
"It's the plan then. Let's tread carefully. We don't know what may be waiting for us," Tyrone added.
Then, the three of them used their bodily movement skills and headed for the palaces deep in the mountains.
"Wait. What?" "How is this possible?"
As soon as they approached the areas where the palaces were standing, they were shocked at what welcomed them.
