Especially, when Bruce and Graham showed their cultivation base of the Sky Realm, every single
martial artist from Violet Orchid Empire was shocked and even Leo, Caden, Wilson, and a few other
disciples who were known to be outstanding did not dare to disagree with them.
In this way, a group of 60, led by Bruce and Graham, formed itself in face of such powerful opponents,
and began preparing to fight the nine martial artists of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. . . .
Austin was utilizing his bodily movement skills to move in a prairie inside the Mysterious Nether World.
Ever since he had taken the ancient evil ape down and got the soul-recovering fruit, Austin had started
to search for Dewey and his other friends.
At the same time, he had also been using his vital energy from time to time to try and jump into midair,
hoping to learn the skill of flying in the air.
He knew that when the martial artists' cultivation base reached the Mysterious Realm, they could fly
with the help of their vital energy, but the distance that they could cover was very short, and the speed
with which they flew was also very slow.
The speed at which Austin could move by using his Wind-commanding Skill was much faster than that,
and therefore, even after he had reached the Mysterious Realm, he had not tried this ability.
However, his cultivation base had reached the Sky Realm now, which meant his speed would have
also increased. Now, he was repeatedly trying to fly up into the air, as he wanted to know how long he
could fly, and just how fast.
After activating his vital energy and letting it flow over his entire body, Austin leaped onto the top of a
large tree, then kicked the tip of a tree with his toes and shot into the air straight like an arrow.
As soon as his body left the treetop, his vital energy immediately jumped into operation and he felt a
sort of lightness over himself. Feeling excited, he used his vital energy to resist the gravity of the earth
and tried to fly forward.
"It worked!"
Austin felt his body move forward, resisting the gravitational pull of the earth through the powers of his
vital energy.
So that was how this worked. Once people's cultivation base reached a certain level, they could resist
gravity and fly.
After flying for about a kilometer, Austin began to feel that his body was slowly descending towards the
ground, and finally, fell on the ground below with a soft thud.
He was not very satisfied with the speed he had attained as well as the distance he had covered this
time.
If he used his Wind-commanding Skill, he could advance a distance of about 250 meters in a single
step. A thousand meters would only take four steps from that calculation and therefore, he could easily
move a kilometer in the blink of an eye.
But he also knew that flying in the sky was totally different from running fast on the ground, so very
soon, he began to try again, hoping to fly farther and faster every time.
After a day of continuous practice, he became way more proficient at the techniques of advancing in
air, and could now fly farther and faster.
Though his flying speed was nowhere near the speed at which he could move using the Wind
commanding Skill, he knew that this capability could come in handy in certain situations. . . .
After practicing the technique of flying in the air for about a day and a half, Austin began to practice the
second move of Flame Swordsmanship.
On the basis of his first move and with the help of the Golden Sun Scripture, Austin's vital energy was
now qualified to do that in terms of quality.
Therefore, after four hours of strenuous practice, he was able to successfully activate his vital energy
and with a whooshing sound, two bright and golden swords appeared in both of his hands.
Both these swords were made out of pure vital energy and lit with golden flames. It was strangely eerie
to look at.
After refining this second level, Austin now began to practice the second Spiritual Sword Aura inside
his Soul Sea.
His previous tasks had been easy. This one was going to be a lot harder.
Just like flying in the air was lengthy, it took him a day to refine the second Spiritual Sword Aura.
It was tiring but when one considered the fact that it usually took four or five days to refine the first
Spiritual Sword Aura, then the time that Austin had spent on refining the second Spiritual Sword Aura
was very short. If the Flame Emperor ever heard about this, he would have been greatly surprised.
The reason Austin could do so was that he was a soul traveler with an unusually strong spiritual sense.
Holding the two flaming swords made out of vital energy, Austin rushed into a dense forest nearby and
slashed at the trees.
"Swoosh..." "Swoosh..."
More than a dozen towering trees, all of them so thick that it would have taken four or five people to
fully encircle them with their arms were slashed from the middle due to his sword aura.
"Boom..." With an earth-shattering noise, a fire began to engulf the dense forest and quickly spread
over its entire area.
In the blink of an eye, the whole forest was engulfed in flames.
Inside the forest, birds started flying about and animals started running away. The whole area had
become as active and noisy as a pot of boiling water.
Looking at the unrelenting scene in front of him, Austin also marveled over how destructive the swords
made out of vital energy could be with the help of the source energy of the Scorching Evil Fire.
After putting the two swords of vital energy away, Austin suddenly widened his eyes.
"Oh! What a coincidence!
I hadn't expect them to be here, too."
As it happened, Austin's spiritual sense suddenly sensed that a few people—Dewey, Maria, Iris and
Anna—were close-by.
