"Perhaps now is our chance.
Several battles already took place in the Ethereal World these past couple of days.
I suspect that the four major forces have already begun attacking the Ethereal World.
No matter what the result is, both parties would suffer some pretty heavy casualties,"
the white-haired elder said loudly, his sharp eyes glimmering.
"I think there's nothing for us to worry about.
We can just break into the Ethereal World.
Everyone's saying that Warner and Emmet are just semi-governing gods.
I can take out two semi-governing gods without breaking a sweat.
Moreover, I don't think their combat power is as terrifying as everyone makes it out to be,"
a tall middle-aged man bragged loudly.
"Don't even think about underestimating their power.
Since they managed to keep control of the eye of a supreme universe for so long, they must have
something up their sleeve.
Despite all their tricks, we'll still get our hands on the Ethereal World.
Send some men to gather information there.
We need to know exactly what happened in the Ethereal World.
Once the time is right, we'll be ready to attack the Ethereal World,"
the white-haired old man said.
While they were busy discussing their plans, Austin was peacefully sitting cross-legged with his eyes
shut in Master Sword's palace.
It was his way of resting.
His chosen place was the palace situated on the Divine Sword Mountain's peak.
Time quickly went by as Austin took his much needed break.
In the blink of an eye,
three months already passed.
Even the five sword spirits didn't dare to disturb him in the past few months.
Eventually,
Austin took a deep breath one day.
After giving himself a break for three whole months, he managed to get back to his best condition.
Swish! Swish!
Two beams of yellow light suddenly shot out the moment Austin opened his eyes.
Numerous sword lights surged from his gaze.
Countless sword-shaped runes appeared and surrounded him, illuminating the entire secret room.
Thanks to the previous battles in the Ethereal World, Austin learnt plenty of new tricks.
After all, he had to fight against many governing gods.
Every technique they performed was of the highest quality.
Battles on such a high level was a rare treat.
It greatly benefited Austin to participate in such fights.
Safe to say, Austin could handle the governing gods in the Sword Cosmos.
If those relatively weak governing gods ever crossed paths with Austin, they would probably run away
with their tails between their legs to avoid a confrontation.
"I've grown even stronger ever since I entered the Sword Cosmos.
I wonder what are my odds of beating Humphrey now,"
Austin murmured to himself.
Although he was still in the Sword Cosmos, he couldn't help but constantly worry about the situation in
the Sea of Chaos.
All the people Austin cared about the most, his family, friends, his masters, and fellow disciples, were
still in the Sea of Chaos
"Humphrey has probably already declared war on the major forces in the Sea of Chaos.
He acquired the body of a chaotic sky-devouring beast and his strength increases tremendously.
Although the underworld, the Novel Court, the Divine Corpse Palace, the Demon City, and the Beast
City are powerful forces in the Sea of Chaos, they might not be able to put up a fight against
Humphrey.
It's highly possible that Humphrey could grab the reigns of the entire Sea of Chaos,"
Austin murmured to himself.
"I have to hurry and focus on improving my strength.
I'll head back to the Sea of Chaos as soon as I can.
We'll never know a day of peace if I let Humphrey take control over the Sea of Chaos."
Austin couldn't help but furrow his brows.
After all, he was also a creature of the Sea of Chaos.
Thinking about the people in the Sea of Chaos falling into Humphrey's hands greatly grated on his
nerves.
"I guess I should go to the Heaven Valley and subdue Emmet.
Once I'm done with that, I'll get them to tell me how to absorb the impure great cosmos force in the
Ethereal World.
I'm sure my strength will improve in the blink of an eye.
Afterwards, I'll hurry back to the Sea of Chaos and deal with Humphrey,"
Austin decided.
After he made a decision, he immediately rose to his feet and exited the palace.
All five sword spirits and Sword Son Curry appeared outside the palace at the same time.
"Austin, did you meet Warner and Emmet in the Ethereal World?" Sword Son Curry asked curiously.
They all knew that Austin entered the Ethereal World three months ago.
Each one of them also knew that Austin must have experienced terrible fights in there.
"I did.
I met both of them there,"
Austin replied with a quick nod.
Without even pausing, he quickly filled them in on all the events in the Ethereal World in great detail.
"I didn't expect that Warner and Emmet could be so powerful when they work together,"
the five sword spirits remarked.
"I suppose that the sword skill they practice was left by a god of chaos.
Moreover, the method that lets them absorb the impure great cosmos force must've been something
from a god of chaos too.
Seems like they got their hands on a god of chaos's inheritance by chance,"
Sword Son Curry surmised.
"I think so too. Only an inheritance left behind by a god of chaos could be this powerful."
All five sword spirits quickly nodded in agreement.
"I think you're right too,"
Austin replied.
Since the gods of chaos were in charge of everything, there was nothing they couldn't do and they
possessed incredible omnipotent skills.
Governing gods seemed like they ruled the worlds;
however, gods of chaos were actually the most powerful beings and they were the real rulers of the
worlds.
Even governing gods were mere ants in the face of the gods of chaos.
"Austin, there's something you need to know.
The four major forces of the Sword Cosmos already regard you as their enemy. They'll definitely go to
great lengths to drag you down.
You must take great care in your every action.
Since the four major forces managed to rule over the Sword Cosmos for a long time already, their skills
are no joke," Sword Son Curry reminded.
His concern could clearly be heard in every word.
"I will.
It won't be that easy for them to take my life,"
Austin assured.
"Pay extra attention to Warner and Emmet since they probably hate your guts already and would hunt
you down,"
the yellow-robed elder said.
"Ha-ha! Don't worry, sir.
We don't need to fear Warner and Emmet.
Just wait and see, it won't be long before they side with us,"
Austin responded.
His confidence stemmed from the fact that Warner was already his slave.
Both Warner and Emmet were a great danger to others.
But neither of them was a threat to Austin.
"What?"
Even the five sword spirits and Sword Son Curry couldn't grasp the meaning of his words.
Eventually, they shot each other a hesitant smile.
All of them remembered Austin's divine god slaves almost at the same time.
It wouldn't take a genius to realize what Austin was going to do with Warner and Emmet.
"Anyway, you still shouldn't underestimate Warner and Emmet's strength. You must take good care of
yourself,"
Sword Son Curry reminded, still worried about Austin's welfare.
"Don't worry too much. I'm sure I can handle Warner and Emmet,"
Austin said, reassuring him with a bright smile.
