"Master is cultivating the complete version of the secret manual. Once he succeeds in mastering it, he will be much more powerful than we are!"
Warner exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
"That's for sure.
In fact, our master is already much stronger than us now.
So once he cultivates the great cosmos force, his combat power will increase by tenfold at least.
Our strength will be nothing compared to the strength of our master,"
a new voice rang out.
Warned turned to the source of the voice and found Emmet come over from the nearby void.
"Emmet, you've recovered already?"
he asked, widening his eyes in surprise. He had thought that Emmet would take much longer to heal, let alone travel around like this.
"Not completely, but more than half my injuries have healed.
The rest will slowly heal in the future,"
Emmet replied indifferently. His expression and his tone gave the impression that he was just talking about the weather, and not his life-threatening injuries.
But just like he had said, the wounds on his body, as well as the energy and forces he had lost, had all been fully replenished.
The remaining injuries were the ones on his spiritual soul; these injuries had no direct cure except the passage of time. Hence, Emmet was determined to return to normalcy and just let his spiritual soul heal itself.
Besides, his spiritual soul was not really that seriously injured. It had been forcibly invaded by a large number of puppet strings, which had taken a toll on him.
When Warner nodded at his words, Emmet continued in a reassuring voice,
"Although our master is young, he is simply invincible.
The two of us must be loyal to him and do our best to serve him whole-heartedly."
"Of course!"
Warner replied in a hurry. He had more or less come to the same conclusion.
This pair, Warner and Emmet, were considered the two most ferocious villains in the Sword Cosmos. They were cruel and unyielding, and they had never been tamed by anyone in their lives, not even in the figurative sense. After all, they had no reason to respect—let alone submit to—people who were less powerful than them.
Therefore, they had never imagined that one day, somebody would actually manage to subdue them. Since Austin was undeniably more powerful than they were, they had become his loyal slaves. To them, power was everything. Nevertheless, if the other masters in the Sword Cosmos found out that the great pair of villains had submitted to Austin, their jaws would drop with shock.
Time passed slowly day by day.
In the area near the eye of the cosmos, Austin was cultivating with the utmost concentration.
As long as he was inside his small world, he could avoid external dist
ther than Rollins from the Long Sword Sect.
Back in the battle at the Ethereal World, he had sustained serious injuries.
The Long Sword Sect had had to spend a lot of money and effort to heal his wounds. He had eventually recovered under intensive care.
The other governing gods remained silent when they heard what Rollins said.
They all remembered the old days when Austin had first appeared in the Sword Cosmos. Back then, he had run away from them with his tail between his legs.
They had never imagined that the laughable kid would come back and pose such an enormous threat to them.
"You have to understand that it's not easy to kill Austin, or even Warner and Emmet.
The power of the pair is simply terrifying once they combine their two swords.
Even if all of us work closely together, I don't think we can defeat them.
It's almost impossible to kill them both.
As for Austin... he can take on more than a dozen of us all at once. How can we ever defeat him?"
another one of the governing gods said, shaking his head helplessly.
The entire room went silent, feeling discouraged and despondent. But all of a sudden, the red-faced god gasped, as if hit by eureka. His eyes widened in excitement as he rushed to explain,
"I think that Warner and Emmet can only combine their swords under a certain condition.
That is to say, their maximum power can only be unleashed in the eye of the cosmos in the Ethereal World, especially in the abyss.
Since there is a large amount of great cosmos force in that abyss, the chaotic environment will further stimulate their power.
Warner and Emmet knew what they were doing. It's only in the abyss that their strength can't be contended with.
So I think that as long as we fight them outside the abyss, we don't have to be afraid of them at all!"
