At the same time, the governing gods of the four major forces were already getting closer to Austin.
They were chasing him down for a while now and they had finally closed their gap from him.
Then, they fanned out and closed in on him.
"Austin, that's as far as you can go!"
"There's nowhere else to run!"
"Brat, get ready to die. You're not getting away from us!"
"Say your final words. You'll be eliminated here for the sake of the Sword Cosmos!"
Each of the governing gods yelled at Austin, bearing the grudge that they held for so long.
"Oh, now I see.
You got more men in your team right now than the last time we met.
Is that what makes you think that you can defeat me now?"
Austin responded with a mocking smile.
"So, come at me and kill me if you can.
Quit yapping and show me what you've got!"
Austin said disdainfully.
"You arrogant bastard!
You still don't understand the position that you're in, do you?
How can you still have the nerve to talk back like that when your life is right in our hands?
Yeah, you're right.
We have more men in our horde today. That's why we're sure that we can utterly crush you to pieces
until you completely die!"
one of the governing gods shouted furiously.
As soon as the governing god finished speaking,
Austin raised his eyebrows as he sensed something.
He perceived that more governing gods were still coming towards the Ethereal World.
'It looks like they're pretty serious this time.
How many governing gods have they contacted just to deal with me?
Besides the ones already here, there are still more coming at full speed,' Austin uttered to himself as
he let out a bitter smile.
"Ha-ha! Well, I'm flattered.
I can't believe that you'll go this far just to hunt me down.
I'm guessing that all the governing gods of the four major forces are coming for me. Is that right?"
Austin asked indifferently.
Hearing this, the governing gods burst into laughter as they shook their heads. "We really admire your
confidence, brat. But it doesn't matter now.
Because you're going to die here!"
"Brace yourself and suffer!"
The governing gods released their deathly aura and roared triumphantly.
At that moment, more powerful figures appeared in the distance.
They quickly dashed forward and joined the ones in front of Austin.
Ten more governing gods arrived.
Thus, all in all, Austin was facing over twenty governing gods. This was indeed more grueling than the
last time that he faced them.
Most of them were from the four major forces, while some were from the other forces.
Those forces had also once rebelled against the leadership of Sword Son Curry.
Right now, all the forces that had been against Sword Son Curry united to fight against Austin, his
successor.
If they didn't get rid of Austin and Sword Son Curry, they would always worry that their group would
become the duo's next target of revenge.
Therefore, though it might look like a bit unnecessary, they had sent over twenty governing gods to
hunt and kill Austin.
That number was terrifying, especially if their target was just a mere genuine premium-grade divine
god.
It was known to all that these governing gods were the most formidable beings and the real rulers of
the Sword Cosmos.
They seldom showed up in public because they just spent most of their time cultivating in seclusion.
Generally speaking, the odds for an ordinary cultivator to meet a governing god in person in their entire
life was extremely low.
However, right now, all of these governing gods were before Austin's eyes.
It was such a revolting scene that could definitely shake the history of the Sword Cosmos.
If word of this got out, it would immediately cause a sensation in the cosmos.
"Come on. Let's do it!
We'd better bring this brat down as soon as possible.
We also can't stay in the eye of the cosmos for too long.
I have a bad feeling about this place,"
one of the governing gods shouted impatiently.
Although these governing gods were invincible and possessed infinite power, the energy inside their
bodies was mostly composed of chaotic energy just like Austin.
It meant that they only had little great cosmos force within them.
Thus, when they stood in this area that was overflowing with great cosmos force, they felt very
uncomfortable.
For a while now, Austin also had the same feeling since he entered the area.
"All right!
Let's finish this!"
As they roared at the same time, the governing gods dashed forward and surrounded Austin.
Facing all of these governing gods, it was clear in Austin's mind that he should avoid fighting them
head-on.
He knew that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to evenly match all of their powers.
Therefore, defeating them was moreover out of the question.
It was the worst idea to engage them simultaneously.
Hence, Austin didn't just stay there. He quickly flew around to shake them off.
"Humph! You have nowhere to escape!"
Of course, these governing gods wouldn't let him go that easily. They also moved as fast as they could
in order to catch up with him.
At the same time, Austin activated the Shadowless Movement and the Reincarnation Token, while also
unleashing all kinds of laws of space.
With all these, he was able to move incredibly fast.
In fact, even the governing gods had difficulty capturing all his movements.
It was as if he was traversing to another space with every move that he made.
However, although the governing gods couldn't completely catch up with him, he also couldn't escape
from them.
As he continued to run around in circles, he realized that he wouldn't be able to get away like this.
Therefore, left with no choice, Austin ran straight into the abyss at the center of this strange space.
"Damn it! This guy is really fast on his feet!"
The governing gods were clearly frustrated at the situation.
Austin's speed was just too amazing that they couldn't keep up.
Soon enough,
Austin entered the mysterious abyss.
He was so surprised to see that the amount of great cosmos force in the abyss was more than that of
the other places in the Ethereal World combined.
They were in the form of golden ribbons that rose and sank within the abyss. It was so eye-catching
and fascinating to watch.
"Whoa! There is so much great cosmos force here!"
Austin couldn't help but exclaim as he stared at the golden ribbons with his eyes wide open.
However, as he examined closely, he found that the great cosmos force here contained a lot of
impurities.
Moreover, he kept hearing the sound of a pulse beating from beneath the abyss.
It was as if it was caused by some force that he couldn't identify.
As he reached the edge of the abyss, Austin paused in his tracks and hesitated for a while.
At this point, he wasn't sure what to do next.
Since the governing gods were already at his tail, he couldn't turn around now.
'Well, there's no other choice. It's better to move forward than to face all of them.
Besides, I'm very curious about this place. I'll take some time to explore it.
I wonder what kind of adventures are waiting for me.'
Austin thought carefully for a while before eventually stepping forward.
He had decided to take the risk and enter into the depths of the abyss.
As he made his decision, he remembered how his life played out. While he was still a grunt disciple of
the Sun Sect in the Prime Martial World, he already had many adventures.
There were countless times that he had injured himself badly and narrowly escaped death.
After leaving the Prime Martial World, these kinds of events became a norm to him.
Therefore, although he felt that several dangers were waiting for him in the mysterious abyss, he still
decided to go for it.
