"This isn't good. These bugs are so horrifying. They can even destroy the array!" Santos exclaimed as
he saw what was happening.
Currently, he was in the three thousand big and small universes, guarding the situation on the Grand
Geomancy Array.
The bugs started chewing off the surface of the array, leaving huge pits on it. Santos thought that it
would just be a matter of time before they completely wrecked it if nothing was immediately done.
"Damn it. It looks like these bugs can really destroy anything,"
Austin commented as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Ha-ha! Look at that!
The array that they're so proud of is about to get decimated!"
"Of course! Master Humphrey is invincible. A mere array won't be able to hold him back!"
Humphrey's men cheered and shouted as they watched his black bugs devour the array that protected
the three thousand big and small universes.
"Humph! What are you idiots celebrating for? Don't think that you can have your way!"
Austin roared with a livid face.
Immediately after saying that, he performed the Ultimate Mind Sword Skill.
Suddenly, a faint sword light slashed out.
It acted according to the speed of Austin's mind.
It was so astonishingly fast that even a governing god might not be able to dodge it.
The next moment, several sounds of metal clashing echoed.
Everyone focused their attention on the surface of the Grand Geomancy Array where the loud noises
could be heard.
It turned out that the black bugs were all hit by the sword light one after another. With the impact
caused by it, all of them were thrown off.
There was a myriad of black bugs on the surface of the array.
However, the sword light unleashed by Austin was incredibly fast that all of these bugs were swept off
in an instant.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Numerous black insects were sent pummeling in every direction. The sword light was like a raging gust
of wind that flounced them all away.
"That's incredible, Austin. I think no one in the Sea of Chaos can match the speed of your attack!"
Santos remarked, astounded by his display of skill.
"Well, the mind power is indeed useful,"
Austin replied.
He knew right away that if he wanted to take care of those bugs in one go, he could depend on the
attack of the mind power.
"It's just a pity that I haven't made much progress in my cultivation with it,"
Austin added and let out a sigh.
The mind power was indeed mysterious and very useful, but its only downside was the difficulty in
mastering it.
Recently, Austin found that he had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation with his mind power. He had
worked hard for it, but he had not much luck in making progress.
At its current level, it was already powerful. That was why he was so eager to improve it much more.
He could imagine how much his power could grow once he became more proficient in using it.
The Ultimate Mind Sword Skill was extremely lethal. At present, it was one of his most powerful trump
cards.
This technique involved the combined powers of his sword skill and mind power.
In terms of swordsmanship, Austin had made great progress with it recently.
However, his cultivation in mind power was being left behind.
Meanwhile, Humphrey was sitting in his throne in the center of his troops. Upon seeing what Austin had
done, his face immediately turned sullen.
Those bugs were one of his best weapons. They had never let him down before.
In fact, even governing gods would retreat when facing them.
His bugs had pretty solid bodies, making them extremely difficult to exterminate.
Moreover, the scariest thing about them was their ability to gnaw everything.
In the face of a very large number of these fast and strong bugs, even a governing god would find
extreme difficulty in handling them.
Therefore, Humphrey had never expected this to happen.
Austin wasn't even a semi-governing god.
But his attack enabled him to completely blow away all of Humphrey's bugs in an instant.
"This brat is really getting in my nerves!
Go and destroy that array!
Let's see how long you can hold on! Even if your attack is powerful, I can just make my bugs attack that
array persistently!"
Humphrey had somehow lost his composure and was seething with anger. He felt so embarrassed
after Austin made it look like his black bugs were just something insignificant.
Buzz! Buzz!
Upon receiving Humphrey's order, an overwhelming number of black bugs flapped their wings again
and swarmed towards the Grand Geomancy Array.
In an instant, countless insects latched on the array again.
They wasted no time and started chewing off on the surface of the array.
In a span of mere seconds, several holes started appearing on the dome created by the array again.
Seeing this, Austin and Santos gritted their teeth and were instantly alarmed.
They were aware that the Grand Geomancy Array couldn't take any more damage than it already
sustained. Otherwise, it would really be destroyed.
The Grand Geomancy Array had guarded the three thousand big and small universes for a long time
now.
Under its absolute protection, the three thousand big and small universes were always kept safe even
when the Sea of Chaos was in a turmoil.
In fact, even governing gods failed to break the Grand Geomancy Array.
But unexpectedly, it seemed like Humphrey could easily crush it.
However, there was no way that Austin would just stand idly while the array was being torn apart in
front of his eyes.
Thus, Austin concentrated and displayed the Ultimate Mind Sword Skill again.
Clang! Clang!
In an instant, the sound of metal colliding resounded again, shaking the vast void.
Immediately after, the black bugs were thrown off again.
They might be fast and strong,
but Austin's attack was faster and stronger.
Meanwhile, in the Fallen Divine Valley far away from the three thousand big and small universes.
The twelve zodiac animals were also gathered in the square and were watching the situation in the
three thousand big and small universes.
"Austin's amazing!"
"Yeah, well done!"
"I can't believe that Austin is even stronger than me now!"
"He always has something up his sleeve. He truly deserved to be our master's disciple.
He had become this strong in such a short amount of time."
"Well, our master is such an excellent teacher. Austin won't be able to get this far without our master's
help."
"I agree. Our master also deserves credit. However, you should also applaud this brat's determination
and tenacity."
The twelve zodiac animals all cheered for Austin and talked about his amazing progress.
At the same time, two beams of light shot out from the motionless statue which stood in the center of
the square. It had been watching everything that was happening in the three thousand big and small
universes all this time.
"Austin does have made great progress.
I'm not surprised. He's a genuinely talented cultivator."
The statue expressed his satisfaction with Austin's great efforts and progress.
"I agree. That guy has a lot of potentials. That's why he was able to draw my attention the moment I
saw him enter the Fallen Divine Valley.
He doesn't let me down," the sky-devouring dog said.
Among all the zodiac animals, it expressed the most elation. After all, it was the sky-devouring dog that
had discovered Austin's potential to be their master's successor.
"Master, what do you think will happen if Austin and Humphrey fight head-on?"
the sky-devouring dog asked out of pure curiosity.
"Right now, Austin is too inferior to Humphrey.
After all, Humphrey is from another chaotic space. The secret skills that he had learned and practiced
are too mysterious and powerful.
On top of that, he also possesses the chaotic sky-devouring beast's body. It will be very difficult to kill
him.
Therefore, if Austin is to face Humphrey in his current state, he will definitely lose.
On the other hand, Austin has already mastered the Shadowless Movement and the Ultimate Mind
Sword Skill. With these skills, Austin could somehow distract him. Moreover, Austin's body is almost
indestructible too.
Hence, even though he won't be able to defeat Humphrey, there's no way that he'll die that easily.
Well, don't worry. We know what Austin is capable of. Let him handle this. This will even be a great
experience for him,"
the statue said with confidence.
Obviously, Austin's master had no intention of coming to his aid, but he was certain that his disciple
could think of a way to get out of this predicament.
