Whoosh! Whoosh!
While he was ruthlessly slashing the body of his opponent, Austin also used the secret skill of Puppet
Strings. Hundreds of red colored strings were thrown towards the enemy's spiritual soul. His opponent
was a governing god from the Blade Cosmos and if this attack succeeded, the results would be
incredible.
Just now, Austin had tried to use the Puppet Strings on the old man from the Sword Cosmos, but was
interrupted by the joint attack of more than fifty governing gods.
He really wanted to try the Puppet Strings on the governing gods and see what results it would yield.
Like a swarm of millions of arrows, the strings broke through his opponent's defenses into his Soul
Sea. Within moments, his Soul Sea was filled with a cloud of red.
"What the hell is that?
Get out of my Soul Sea!"
The governing god furiously yelped in panicked tone.
Boom!
Sensing danger, his spiritual sense imploded into huge waves inside his Soul Sea, slapping crazily
against the red strings to counterattack.
At the same time, numerous magic treasures emerged to protect his spiritual soul. They flew out one
by one and tightly enclosed his spiritual soul in the center.
A large number of law runes related to spiritual souls were constantly being created to strengthen the
governing god's Soul Sea.
The governing gods who'd attacked Austin today had walked this plane of existence for a long while
now. They had learnt various kinds of brilliant secret skills to save their lives.
For any cultivator, the spiritual soul was the core of their being and was extremely precious.
Therefore, every governing god would ensure the highest level of protection for his spiritual soul.
"Blow it away!"
Austin's eyebrows furrowed as he roared fiercely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a soft implosion in the air as an endless amount of spiritual soul energy converged over
Austin's head and dashed straight towards the Soul Sea of his opponent. Austin was getting furious at
the amount of resistance the governing god was putting and therefore, he'd activated a secret skill.
This skill had summoned the spiritual soul energy of more than ten thousand divine gods who were his
slaves. The burst of energy seared the space as it rushed towards the governing god with the most
terrifying momentum.
Bang!
The fearsome river of spiritual soul energy forcefully crashed into the Soul Sea of the governing god
from the Blade Cosmos.
There was a huge flash as the magic treasures and arrays that were protecting his spiritual soul were
bombarded with vast amounts of spiritual soul energy. Unable to withstand so much force, they
exploded like fireworks and burst into nothingness.
The collisions between the vast river of spiritual soul energy and the governing god's own defenses
had severely damaged his Soul Sea.
"Argh!"
The governing god let out a tormented scream.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Austin took the opportunity to activate another round of the Puppet Strings attack. A large number of
puppet strings flew towards the governing god once again and wrapped themselves around his spiritual
soul. The man was forced to stand still.
Very soon, the spiritual soul of the governing god was blocked, and it was turned into a motionless
blood-red mummy.
"Ahh!"
He struggled miserably but was unable to move.
"Surrender to me!"
Austin laughed maniacally, though his demand sounded rather expectant.
If he could subdue a master at the governing god's level, it would be of great significance to Austin.
But very soon, his opponent made a move that completely surprised Austin.
"You bastard! This is an evil, shameful, and cowardly skill to use! You want to control my spiritual soul?
Never!"
The governing god of the Blade Cosmos roared in in fury.
And then came the move that shocked Austin to the core.
Boom!
There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the governing god's spiritual soul suddenly caught on fire
and began to burn like the devil. The flame produced was of such an astonishingly hot temperature that
Austin was forced to step back unconsciously.
This method which started with spontaneous self-combustion of the spiritual soul could, in theory,
maximize the potential of the spiritual soul.
But only a true governing god would dare to use this skill.
No other creature would ever dare to burn their own spiritual souls.
Such a move was basically suicide!
In an instant, the spiritual soul of the governing god had turned into a throbbing flame.
As a result, the red puppet strings containing it were burnt to ashes.
However, this move was incredibly dangerous for the governing god as well. If his spiritual soul got
destroyed in the process, the damage he'd suffer would be catastrophic.
"Humph!
That's no good!"
Austin snorted as he stared at the governing god. Even though the sight was depressing, Austin was in
awe of this governing god.
He hadn't expected that the governing god would make such a daring move and ignite his own spiritual
soul to burn away the strings.
Now, no matter how much effort he put into it, Austin couldn't subdue the governing god.
The thought of failure destroyed Austin's mood.
Whoosh!
He decided that if he couldn't control the governing god, there was no point in the latter's survival. The
long sword in Austin's hand slashed towards the spiritual soul of the governing god with a terrifying
great cosmos force.
"Hey!
Spare me!"
Though the puppet strings were useless now, the governing god knew he had lost the fight, which had
cost him his will to fight as well. He was extremely afraid of Austin now and seeing the long sword
whoosh towards him, he let out a terrified scream and fled.
His burning spiritual soul tried its best to escape into the distance.
"Brat, enough!"
The other powerful masters of the Blade Cosmos stepped in and started to attack Austin from all
directions.
With their combined attack, an endless blade radiance, rushed towards Austin like a vast ocean.
"Shoot!"
The long sword in Austin's hand drew circles in the air as he slashed all around him, stopping the
attack of his opponents with such a fierce force that even the fabric of time shook around them.
The long sword was full of the great cosmos force and the pressure it was emitting was incredible.
Austin blocked the attacks on him with a confident and graceful ease.
However, the spiritual soul of the fleeing governing god managed to escape Austin's intense attack and
disappeared in the distant void.
"Ahh!
My cultivation skill is falling!
Nooooo!"
Before he disappeared, there was one long bitter shriek that Austin heard and then, all traces of the
governing god were lost.
To be forced to flee this battle after almost being killed was beyond the latter's wildest dreams.
Even though he was alive, he had been seriously injured.
Austin repeatedly slashed at him and chopped his body into pieces. Also, a large amount of energy
essence had been consumed due to the fierce battle.
In the end, the governing god had been forced to ignite his own spiritual soul, and now, more than half
of his spiritual soul energy was damaged. This had hurt him at a fundamental level.
It was going to take a long time of cultivation in seclusion for the governing god of the Blade Cosmos to
recover from all his injuries.
"Where do you think you are going, Rollins?"
A killing spree was riding on Austin and he wanted mass massacre. Out of the corner of his eye, he
saw Rollins hiding and immediately chased after him.
Seeing that Austin wouldn't stop chasing after him, the scared Rollins turned around and quickly ran
away. He didn't have the courage to accept this challenge.
"Ha-ha, what a loser! Didn't you always say that you wanted to kill me? Why are you running away
now? Come on!"
Austin laughed loudly and ran after him at full pelt.
Boom!
The great cosmos force was surging and roaring. It was on Austin's side and helping him.
The astonishing amount of the great cosmos force made the governing gods tremble with fear. There
were more than fifty of them there, but the great cosmos force was still dangerous to them at such high
concentration.
Equipped with such great power, Austin felt stronger than ever as he rushed towards Rollins.
"Austin, you're courting death!"
Seeing that Austin was chasing after him so closely, Rollins was both shocked and scared.
Whoosh!
A snow-white bone sword flew out of his head and shot straight towards his pursuer.
Bang!
The next second, a snow-white beast appeared out of nowhere in front of Austin, emitting a terrifying
aura.
It pounced on Austin with dagger-like claws ready to tear him apart.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Austin used his mind to conjure up hundreds of red puppet strings, which shot towards the snow-white
beast.
Once again, Austin summoned the spiritual soul energy of his more than ten thousand divine god
slaves. Together with that much energy, the power of the Puppet String was terrifying and
unimaginable.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The blood-red strings pierced into the body of the beast, slightly reducing his momentum. The beast let
out a loud roar.
Splash!
It looked like the spiritual tree in Austin's soul sea considered the beast to be a delicious snack. As
soon as the strings pierced into the beast, the tree took the initiative and attacked the former with its
branches.
After several years of cultivation and development, the spiritual tree had turned into a towering giant
with dense branches and leaves that reached the sky. It had amazing spiritual power.
Thunderous roars echoed in the sky.
The beast was growling in panic under the simultaneous attack of the strings and the spiritual tree.
It was struggling hysterically to get rid of its bindings but was finding itself unable.
Unwillingly, it found itself dragged towards Austin's Soul Sea despite the enormous amount of
resistance it was putting forward. The simply unimaginable number of red strings and the branches and
leaves of Austin's spiritual tree were too much for the beast to handle.
Although it had amazing amounts of spiritual soul energy, it was no match for Austin.
Since Austin was using the spiritual soul energy of his more than ten thousand divine god slaves, he
was simply unstoppable.
Inch by inch, the beast was pulled closer.
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
Rollins was dumbfounded at the horrific sight.
"Austin, stop you bastard!"
Rollins roared desperately.
The giant snow-white beast was actually a remnant soul which he had come across
accidentally during his wanderings in the Absolute Space Sea.
It had since become one of his trump cards.
"I won't stop. What can you do to me?"
Austin sneered.
Clang!
Austin waved the long sword in his hand casually and its almighty power instantly sent the bone sword
flying into the distance.
Puff!
Austin then aggressively slashed towards Rollins and the long sword in his hand pierced through the
void. Hundreds of millions of miles of space in front of him was slashed horizontally, and Rollins also
suffered the same fate.
"Ahh!"
All that remained of Rollins was one last, pathetic scream and there was a horrified silence after that,
broken only by the snow-white beast's roars of panic.
A vicious smile plastered Austin's face as he carried on pulling the beast inwards.
Soon, the beast was dragged into his Soul Sea by a large number of red puppet strings and the
branches of his spiritual tree.
Time itself seemed to halt as the doomed fate fell upon the beast.
The spiritual tree, the spiritual heart, the spiritual dragon, the Chaotic Ice Lotus, and millions of puppet
strings swarmed around the beast and attacked it with an unstoppable joint force!
