"My master also said that all the supreme universes would one day meet a catastrophe.
Could the Hand of Heaven in the Sword Cosmos be the catastrophe my master was talking about?"
Sword Son Curry wondered aloud.
"The catastrophe of supreme universes?"
Austin could only gape at him in shock.
In the eyes of the creatures in the Sea of Chaos, supreme universes were mysteriously advanced
places where the attractive offer of a happy life awaited.
However, it seemed like they weren't so peaceful after all.
Like the Sea of Chaos, all kinds of calamities also terrorized the supreme universes.
"Yes.
Moreover, one of the reasons why my master and his other four disciples entered the mysterious cave
in the Sword Cosmos
was that my master thought the mysterious cave might have something to do with the catastrophe of
supreme universes.
He knew the dangers waiting within the cave, but he persisted,"
Sword Son Curry sighed.
"Where in the Sword Cosmos can you find that mysterious cave? I've been to the Sword Cosmos twice
already, but I didn't find it,"
demanded Austin.
In fact, he heard about the mysterious cave from Sword Son Curry a few times before.
Although he had paid extra attention during his visit to the Sword Cosmos in the hopes of finding that
mysterious cave,
he still failed.
"Don't even think about finding that mysterious cave.
Even my master and his other four disciples faced grave danger there."
Sword Son Curry tried to persuade him otherwise.
"Promise me you won't try to find that cave,"
Sword Son Curry nearly begged.
"Sir..."
Austin didn't know what to say as he didn't want to lie.
"Don't do it until you can defeat Humphrey with your strength alone.
If you still insist on exploring that mysterious cave when that day comes,
I won't get in your way anymore.
If you rush, you'll surely die there,"
Sword Son Curry explained.
"I understand."
Austin was left with no choice but to nod in agreement.
"I'm going to enter the Sword Cosmos to cultivate,"
Austin decided.
"Go ahead.
You can only protect everything you care about when you grow stronger.
Besides, the five sword spirits on the Divine Sword Mountain already think highly of you.
Get along well with them.
Even my master had nothing but respect for them.
He once said that the Divine Sword Mountain was the root of the Sword Cosmos,
and the five sword spirits were its guardians.
On the surface, those powerful forces are the ones that rule the Sword Cosmos,
but the real rulers of the Sword Cosmos are currently the five sword spirits,"
Sword Son Curry explained.
"I see..."
Austin was taken aback.
"That's all I want to tell you.
Go ahead,"
Sword Son Curry said.
"Goodbye then,"
Austin said and he cupped his hands towards Sword Son Curry.
Afterwards, he used his bodily movement skill to leave the sword shrine and then the Ice Palace,
quickly heading for the gateway of the Sword Cosmos.
It wasn't long before he arrived at the gateway of the Sword Cosmos.
Since Austin was already familiar with the Sword Cosmos, he immediately found the weakest space
node and entered through it.
In the chaotic void of the Sword Cosmos,
there was still no living creature like the last time he came.
Obviously, the threat of the Hand of Heaven was still hovering over their heads.
In the blink of an eye, Austin concealed his body with all kinds of original chaotic laws as he looked into
the depths of the chaotic void.
Despite his best efforts, he still couldn't find anything.
The Hand of Heaven came and went without leaving even a shadow in its wake.
No one could predict when and where it would appear again.
'All right.
Maybe Sword Son Curry was right.
Only after I defeat Humphrey will I carefully study the Hand of Heaven and that mysterious cave,'
Austin thought to himself as he stared at the chaotic void.
However,
at this moment,
something suddenly happened.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed from the depths of the chaotic void.
A giant hand slowly emerged from the depths of the chaotic void and filled the air with a terrifying aura.
Violent trembles racked through the entire Sword Cosmos.
Overflowing energy quickly spread all over the Sword Cosmos.
"Damn it! The Hand of Heaven appeared again!"
All the creatures in the Sword Cosmos already realized what was happening.
It was the exact way the Hand of Heaven appeared every single time.
"Oh no!
The Hand of Heaven is coming for me!"
As soon as the giant hand appeared, Austin was hit by the feeling that he was being targeted.
A strong sense of death enveloped Austin.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sure enough, the Hand of Heaven reached out towards him.
Although it seemed slow at first, it was actually terribly fast.
Even Austin's speed seemed mediocre in the face of the giant hand.
Meanwhile,
Austin quickly realized that chains condensed by laws constantly extended from the void and sealed up
the space around him.
Moreover, his body felt completely weighed down, making it nearly impossible for him to move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Slowly but surely, the Hand of Heaven seemed to be getting ready to slap Austin.
"No!
I can't die here like this!"
Austin shouted.
Another round of explosions echoed around them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
All the energy in Austin's body was activated,
including the Chaotic Heaven Body, the heaven metal race's body, the Introduction to Vital Energy
Circulation, the chaotic energy, the law power, and even the spiritual soul energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Endless energy poured out from Austin's body.
Even the space around him shattered into pieces in the blink of an eye.
After the burst of power, Austin discovered that his body could finally move.
All his hesitation vanished.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Austin used his bodily movement skill and rushed towards the chaotic void in the
distance.
However, the Hand of Heaven was right at his tail.
Although the Hand of Heaven made it look easy, Austin's bodily movement skill was actually fast
enough that even a governing god might find it impossible to catch up with him.
However, the Hand of Heaven was even faster.
It only took a moment to completely catch up with Austin.
Even though Austin had a very long head start, the Hand of Heaven's speed was still overwhelming.
Terrifying force surged towards Austin as the Hand of Heaven came closer.
For a moment, Austin's breath was stuck in his throat as if he forgot how to breathe.
At this moment,
a voice echoed from the Divine Sword Mountain.
"I can feel Austin's aura.
I'm sure he's in the void outside."
"Coincidentally, the Hand of Heaven also appeared.
Will he be okay?"
All five sword spirits appeared at the same time, standing together at the peak of the Divine Sword
Mountain that overlooked the void outside.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as the Hand of Heaven slammed into Austin in the chaotic void.
