However, at that moment, something happened.
Hearing what the governing god of the underworld said, Austin stopped in his tracks, his heart growing cold. He then turned around slowly, his eyes as sharp as blades.
"Governing god? So what?
Today, I'll fight you all the same!"
he uttered through gritted teeth, folding his hand into a fist.
Austin was confident that even if he couldn't defeat the governing god, he wouldn't be in danger.
Murmurs echoed from the many cultivators in the area. "What? Oh my!
Austin didn't run away!
Is he serious about this? Does he really want to fight against the governing god?"
The cultivators stared at Austin, who had stopped. Their eyes were wide or mouths open in shock.
"What's wrong with him?
Does he want to die?"
Off in the three thousand big and small universes, the twelve zodiac animals became anxious to their cores as they sensed the development of events.
"Let's hurry up. If we don't stop him in time, I'm afraid that he will die!"
The sky-devouring dog waved its paw. Together, the twelve zodiac animals summoned their power. A white light bloomed before them, growing from a ball into the circular surface of a long-distance teleportation channel. They rushed to Austin's position.
"Ha ha, Austin, you know what, I kinda admire you a bit.
I was surprised to know that you have the courage to face me."
The deep voice emanated behind Austin as a shadowy figure coalesced. Slowly, the figure formed, releasing the law of death, firmly controlling the space for hundreds of millions of miles in the surrounding area.
Thick black chains emerged from the black void enveloping the figure. One after another they interwove, forming a large black net, trapping Austin in it.
"Is this the way you have to attack? Using surprise attacks to capture me? To gain an upper hand?
You couldn't face me in a fair fight? You're lucky you've cultivated for a longer time than me.
If I was your age, I would have killed you with one hand,"
Austin sneered, keeping his back straight and face steady.
"Humph!
Yes, it's rare for you to have such strength and performance at your age. I give you that.
But do you think you can break through and become the governing god for sure when you are as old as me?"
He chuckled. "What wishful thinking.
Do you think the governing god could be found everywhere like a cabbage on the market?
If you really believe that one can become a governing god once he is old enough, then you are dead wrong.
Countless semi-governing gods in the Sea of Chaos can't become the governing gods no matter how long they've lived. That is the cruel reality,"
the governing god
chill eased through him.
He had the physique of the heaven metal race, the Chaotic Heaven Body, and he had cultivated the complete version of the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation. All of this meant his physical body was incredibly strong.
It was estimated that even the body of the governing god might not be stronger than that of Austin!
But now, there was this gaping bloody hole in Austin's body.
Such was the terrifying power wielded by the governing god.
And yet, Austin's injury was only a minor one.
In the blink of an eye his wound was completely healed.
He was whole again, unscathed.
"Arggghhhh!"
Austin and his two avatars threw their heads back and roared to the sky at the same time. Their physical strength rolled violently as their bodies glowed with a blinding light. The one hundred and eight human worlds in their respective bodies ignited. The luminescence boiled from them.
"I will beat the shit out of you even though you are a governing god!"
The hair of Austin and his two avatars stood on end. Every inch of their bodies was releasing energy, and every cell felt as if it contained endless power. Their blood vitality roiled violently and their divine energy surged to an incredible level.
Boom!
Austin and his two avatars unleashed a barrage of punches. They dashed toward the governing god from three different positions at the same time.
Meanwhile, as he punched, Austin also activated the Secret Reincarnation Skill to the extreme. In a flash, he covered the distance to the governing god.
Three fists blasted into the governing god at the same instant.
In the space nearby, the terrible and extreme energies slammed into each other. The clash brought about a horrible scene, one that could make a person's blood run cold.
