"Boy, you're a monster!
You will die a horrible death for all the terrible things that you have done!" cried a governing god from the Blade Cosmos.
His bodily movement skill was relatively slow, so he was the next one to be targeted by Austin.
As he spoke, he twisted his body and turned into a beam of blade-light before soaring off into the distance.
Unfortunately for him, escaping from Austin was not such an easy feat.
"Don't ever try to run away!" Austin barked, using his Shadowless Movement to catch up with him.
With the help of the great cosmos force, his speed had increased by several times. As a result, the governing god he was chasing was no match for him.
Each step he took was so unpredictable and elusive that even his shadows could not catch up with him.
In a flash, Austin appeared in front of his target, causing him to stop in his tracks.
The governing god was stunned, but he knew that he could not afford to let his guard down for even a split-second.
"Get out of my way!" He lifted his hand, and a sharp and domineering blade radiance whizzed out.
The overbearing blade radiance grew bigger and bigger as it moved forward.
Every inch of space that it touched seemed to crack and break apart. Even the stars couldn't hold their ground, and instead rolled away.
But to Austin, this attack was nothing. With an unimpressed look on his face, he just stretched out his hand and flicked his finger.
The next moment, a plain sword-light hurtled out of him and destroyed everything in sight.
Fueled by the terrifying great cosmos force,
the sword-light contained overwhelming power.
The seemingly domineering blade radiance exploded in the void and turned into dust after colliding with Austin's sword-light.
"Boy, are you really going to push me so hard?"
the governing god shouted when he saw how easily Austin deflected his attack. His face was pale and he was already breathless, indicating that he had already used most of his strength.
Austin merely sneered in response.
Just as he had expected, this governing god was an easy target.
He channeled the mighty great cosmos force into the long sword in his hand before slashing out at the governing god again.
"Boy, you've gone too far. I'll fight you to the death!"
the governing god roared and rushed at Austin, waving the long, thick blade in his hands. His long hair flew behind him as he charged forward.
He was determined to fight with all his might.
A frightening amount of power burst out of him. The dazzling blade radiance that exuded out of his body was like a vast sea that instantly drowned the void around him for millions of miles.
The chaotic void collapsed in on itself,
and time itself seemed to be about to break apart.
However, in the eye of the cosmos, Austin was still much stronger than him.
Although it seemed to take forever for the two of them to charge at each other,
their weapons finally collided.
They slashed against each other over and
poke volumes about their strength.
It was clear that they wouldn't return any time soon.
Besides, they hadn't dared to come to the Ethereal World at all when Warner and Emmet had been guarding it.
This time, they must have only come out of pure desperation.
But now that they had witnessed his strength firsthand, Austin was sure that they would not dare to step into the Ethereal World, let alone the eye of the cosmos!
In fact, this was exactly what he had wanted to establish, but he hadn't expected that it would happen so soon.
Since he had appointed the Ethereal World as the new headquarters of the Curry Sword Sect, he wanted to keep it as safe as possible.
Moreover, Austin had another plan. After conquering the entire Sword Cosmos, he wanted to go back to the Sea of Chaos and bring the creatures of the three thousand big and small universes to the Ethereal World.
After all, the Sword Cosmos was a supreme universe. The energy and laws present here were much more advanced than those in the other parts of the Sea of Chaos, which made it a better place for cultivation.
"Well, I'm going to cultivate in seclusion now,"
Austin said.
He had gained a lot in this battle, including new knowledge and insights.
He needed to cultivate in seclusion so that he could effectively absorb them.
Shooting Warner and Emmet a serious look, he added, "I'm leaving the Curry Sword Sect in your capable hands.
The semi-governing gods under my control are the elders of the sect. Ask them to help you take care of the affairs of the sect while you supervise them.
I want the Curry Sword Sect to be the most powerful sect in the Sword Cosmos.
As for the specific strategies to achieve this, the two of you can discuss them with the elders.
We can also recruit young, talented creatures that we come across in the Sword Cosmos to be new members of the sect."
Warner and Emmet nodded solemnly and replied in unison,
"Master, please rest assured.
We will do our best!"
