At this moment, Humphrey stood still in the chaotic void, his eyes still fixed on the depths of the Fallen Divine Valley.
He clenched his fists as flames of fury became visible in his eyes. An aura of extreme anger and exasperation enveloped him from head to toe.
At the same time, the space around him kept fluctuating and deforming. There was an eerie atmosphere accompanied by an unbearable pressure in the air, causing the space to collapse and disintegrate.
However, instead of taking action, Humphrey didn't move and tried his best to subdue his wrath.
"Fallen Divine Valley... I'll keep this in mind. We're not done yet.
Everybody, retreat!"
After a long while, Humphrey finally uttered these words through gritted teeth.
Immediately after, he turned around and vanished in an instant.
His soldiers, who surrounded the entire Fallen Divine Valley, were all stunned. They couldn't help but stare at each other, utterly shocked at what just happened.
It took quite a while before they realized that Humphrey had actually retreated from the Fallen Divine Valley.
The news quickly spread, and all the powerful cultivators in the Sea of Chaos were also surprised at what they heard.
Humphrey had been famous for being invincible. However, as he tried to take the Fallen Divine Valley on, he encountered a more terrifying opponent. Later on, he didn't expect that he would be forced to retreat without gaining anything.
Because of Humphrey's defeat in the Fallen Divine Valley, all the creatures had relived their fear and awe towards this legendary forbidden area.
In the past, several governing gods also attempted to break into this area, but they utterly failed. Now, history repeated as Humphrey tried to force his way and got the same result.
The Fallen Divine Valley had once again proved that it was the most mysterious, horrifying, and powerful forbidden area in the entire Sea of Chaos. Its reputation wasn't just a mere legend.
"Hey! Let us leave!
Master Humphrey has already issued the order to retreat!"
Eventually, Humphrey's soldiers regained their senses and gradually retreated with their minds in a state of mess.
They ran away like flood water.
On the other hand, the twelve zodiac animals burst into hearty laughter in the sky above the Fallen Divine Valley as they saw how Humphrey and his men finally gave up. They sneered on their army, deeply satisfied with the outcome of the battle.
"From now on, we shall not provoke the Fallen Divine Valley."
This order was issued to all the headquarters of several super forces in the Sea of Chaos.
"The Fallen Divine Valley is just too mysterious and terrifying. We don't even know the real identities behind the people controlling that place!
Anyone should immediately avoid the people of the Fallen Divine Valley once you meet them!"
The powerful forces made their declaration clear so that they could avoid any unnecessary trouble.
It could be said that this battle had made the entire Sea of Chaos truly recognize the superiority of the Fallen Divine Valle
his, the Sea of Chaos had regained temporary peace.
At the same time, Austin wasn't just dilly-dallying.
He was also doing his best to cultivate his skills.
Currently, he was staying at Master Sword's palace on the Divine Sword Mountain.
He needed to improve a lot in several aspects.
As he sat with his legs crossed, Austin concentrated on cultivating the Triple Avatar Skill.
With this skill, he could refine and materialize two avatars, which represented the user's version from the past and future.
Just recently, Austin's avatar that represented his future version was shattered by Humphrey.
Therefore, it was his priority to recreate and materialize this avatar again.
At this moment, two figures were sitting and facing each other inside the palace.
These two were Austin himself and his version of the past.
They sat still, both making the same gestures using their hands.
As they tried to recreate the avatar of Austin's version from the future, the process took quite a long time.
Eventually, a few months had already passed.
Then, one day, a loud yell was suddenly heard from within the palace.
"The seed of the past will bloom at present and produce the fruits in the future!" the two versions of Austin shouted at the same time.
Their hands moved swiftly like fluttering butterflies. They also created numerous mysterious hand gestures with their hands one after another.
Gradually, the air surrounding Austin stirred and rippled. Then, a blurry image started to loom by their side.
As time passed by, the vague image slowly became more vivid.
Then, finally, the image began to stabilize.
The face of the image became visible. The details of his face, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were already distinguishable.
The new avatar was formed and also looked very identical to the other two in terms of appearance and aura.
The avatar of Austin's version in the future was finally recreated.
"It's done!"
Seeing that the avatar had successfully materialized, Austin felt very relieved.
