"Oh? What is it?"
Surprised, Austin raised his head up to look at the sky.
He squinted his eyes. Above, there was a blinding figure slowly looming closer and closer. It emitted a bright divine radiance, and it became more evident in the void for every second.
A group adorned with stark-white wings surrounded the figure. They danced gracefully around him.
As soon as Austin laid eyes on him, he immediately knew that he came from a western origin. He had dark brown ringlets that cascaded to his shoulders and a big beard that almost covered his entire face. He was clad in pristine robes adorned with golden hems, but his feet remained bare.
Atop his head was a blindingly bright halo.
Austin shielded his eyes from the dazzling glare. He couldn't help but feel surprised.
Based on the man's appearance and clothing, he seemed to be the god worshiped by the Western Kingdom!
He gave off a terrifying aura. Countless holy radiance spread from the man like the shining sun. It spread everywhere as if they were rushing to purify the whole world.
"God, please punish this eastern heathen!"
The people from the Novel Court knelt before his presence. They begged and prayed.
Austin, on the other hand, remained undaunted. He sneered.
Apparently, this image of the man in front of him was just an avatar of the god.
Austin was unafraid of this blinding figure's presence, even it was the real god standing before him.
He had attained the divine god level of cultivation, after all.
"Leave," the figure ordered in a measured tone. "You cannot destroy our sect's skills and undertaking. I shall not allow that to happen. I'm giving you a chance to leave in peace. Do so, before I change my mind."
The man locked eyes with Austin threateningly.
Austin raised his eyebrow in return. "I should leave because you asked me to?
I am not a schoolboy for you to order around.
I don't care about the skills and undertaking you talked about. Since your men have provoked me, they should pay the price!"
Austin defiantly replied.
"How dare you talk to our god rudely?!
Please punish this heathen without mercy! Make him suffer!"
The divine leader quickly retreated aside to keep a safe distance from Austin. He cursed Austin when he knew this young man wouldn't be able to hurt him.
Whoosh! The air stirred all of a sudden.
Annoyed, Austin rallied his attention and launched a stream of energy. The unseen energy turned into a palm and slapped the divine leader's face hard.
The impact of Austin's energy threw the leader several feet away. Pieces of tooth fell out from his mouth, and his face was as swollen as a tomato.
"I have to admit that in the past few centuries, several scoundrels in our sects have been wreaking havoc. They have done many wicked things and killed many people.
Even if you did not intervene today, I had the intention to punish them at the right time.
I have a suggestion, young man. I will give you a divine weapon from our sect as compensation for your troubles.
Don't worry, I will punish those who have offended you and expel them out of the sect.
If I do so, can you
and issued an order to the avatar that was accompanying his parents and elder brother. As Austin commanded, the avatar took his family into the sky.
The avatar that came back from the headquarters of the Novel Court also arrived to join the other avatar.
The two avatars met and waited for Austin's arrival.
His real body also dashed toward them at lightning speed.
The avatars merged into Austin's real body as soon as he appeared.
Then, Austin transported his parents and elder brother into the continent that he created.
Austin's family, of course, knew what had happened, so they kept silent all the way.
"The evil baby will come to this world soon, won't he?" Austin murmured to himself.
He checked the underground of the Karakoram Mountain. His gaze pierced through the ground. There, he saw the evil baby in the demon world. Austin was terribly worried.
"A war between the two sides of the divine gods is about to take place. I must activate the broken natural element array on Earth immediately.
I hope this would be enough to protect Earth from being entirely destroyed,"
Austin whispered with a sigh.
Then, he waved his sleeve to commence the formation of the array. Numerous yellow array flags flew out in all directions and landed in every corner of Earth.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as they took their places, Earth jerked violently.
All the creatures on Earth felt this violent tremble. They were terrified!
But the sudden tremor went as fast as it came.
Earth immediately regained peace.
The creatures suspected it must have been an illusion.
"The broken natural element array has been activated."
Austin wiped a sweat on his brow.
Then, he stepped out, and entered the Karakoram Mountain. He reached the underground divine world from there.
"Austin, you're finally back.
It looks like the evil baby is about to be born!"
Seeing Austin's real body, Ingram, Tyrone and all the others were overjoyed. They gathered around Austin and surrounded him.
"Yes, I felt it too."
Austin nodded, and fixed his eyes on the evil baby.
