Austin was still cultivating in seclusion in the eye of the cosmos when the Curry Sword Sect was
attacked.
After much discussion, the four major forces had decided to attack the Curry Sword Sect now,
while they still had the chance.
The first places they struck were, of course, the strongholds of the Curry Sword Sect.
One of the most prosperous cities of the Curry Sword Sect was suddenly invaded by a large group of
murderous warriors one day.
Before the people of this city could react,
they were surrounded in all directions.
A middle-aged man stepped out of the group of invaders and shouted arrogantly with his hands behind
his back,
"This city belonged to the Long Sword Sect!
How dare you snatch it away from us?
We're taking it back.
All the people of the Curry Sword Sect, get the hell out of here right now. Otherwise, don't blame us for
what happens to you!"
The numerous divine gods from the Curry Sword Sect who were guarding the city slowly rose into the
air.
"Nonsense! This land used to be nothing but plains. Our Curry Sword Sect is the one that built it.
Since when did it become your territory?
Are you deliberately challenging us?" one of them shouted.
The middle-aged man scoffed, "The whole Sword Cosmos belongs to the Long Sword Sect, including
this city. Stop arguing unnecessarily.
I'll count to three.
By the time I'm done, all of you should disappear from my sight.
Otherwise, all of you will die!"
"You've gone too far!
Cut the crap and fight,"
one of the divine gods of the Curry Sword Sect roared angrily.
"Let's fight!" the rest of the divine gods echoed.
Although they hadn't expected this invasion, they were all amped up and ready to fight to defend their
city.
"You losers, you're just dirt beneath my feet. You think you can actually fight me?"
the middle-aged man said coldly, utterly unnerved by the fervor of his enemies.
He calmly stretched out a single finger and pointed forward. Everyone around him felt as if he was
moving in slow-motion. The next moment, a dazzling beam of sword radiance burst forth from his
finger.
Then, his finger grew rapidly in size,
turning into a divine mountain with overwhelming power in a matter of seconds.
The void around the mountain imploded in an instant, sending shockwaves throughout the city.
"Damn it,
he's a governing god!
Let's retreat!"
a divine god from the Curry Sword Sect said, widening his eyes fearfully.
"Do you really think you can escape?"
the middle-aged man asked with a malicious look in his eyes. His voice was laced with the clear intent
to kill.
His gigantic finger, which was hovering in the air,
descended towards the Curry Sword City, slowly crushing it.
All the buildings and everything else began to disintegrate,
constantly collapsing and turning into dust.
Of course, the people living in the city weren't spared either. They exploded spontaneously, turning into
a hazy mist of blood that pervaded the air in the city.
"Retreat!
Retreat!" the divine gods shouted. With the amount of power they had, they could resist the governing
god's attacks for now, but they were sure that they wouldn't be able to last long.
The Curry Sword City was in a mess. All the creatures ran around like headless chickens in their
desperation to escape.
Unfortunately, in the face of a governing god, the people of the Curry Sword Sect had no power to
resist or run away.
In the end, the entire city was annihilated, along with all the creatures living there. Not one of them
managed to escape.
The once prosperous city was now in ruins, littered with flesh and blood.
News of this instantly spread throughout the Sword Cosmos, and the creatures began discussing
excitedly among themselves.
"The four major forces have begun attacking the Curry Sword Sect!"
"They're really as powerful as we thought. They destroyed a city of the Curry Sword Sect in a flash."
"Yes, they sent a governing god to do the job. It seems that the four major forces are going to officially
start a war with the Curry Sword Sect!"
To everyone's surprise, the four major forces had no intention of taking things slow.
They were simultaneously attacking as many strongholds of the Curry Sword Sect as they could.
Needless to say, most of these attacks were led by invincible governing gods.
They were ruthless and merciless. They slaughtered people mercilessly wherever they went, leaving
no one alive.
As a result, the Curry Sword Sect suffered heavy casualties.
Many of Austin's divine god slaves were killed.
Panic spread all over the Sword Cosmos, even among the creatures who were against the Curry
Sword Sect. After all, war was always unpredictable, and none of them knew what the outcome was
going to be or how many more people would suffer and die in the process.
'What?
Lots of my divine god slaves are dead!
No doubt that the four major forces are behind this.'
In the eye of the cosmos in the Ethereal World, the eyes of the man who was cultivating alone
suddenly flew open. Austin had just sensed that his divine god slaves were dropping dead like flies.
There were many spiritual soul marks in his Soul Sea, one for each of his slaves.
So any time one of them died, Austin would immediately sense it.
"Those who dare to touch my people will definitely suffer the consequences,"
he cursed, his eyes burning with rage.
Every one of his divine god slaves was precious to him. To him, his slaves weren't just objects that he
could control; they were his men, almost a part of himself, even.
Therefore, his heart ached for every slave that he lost.
He stood up abruptly, deciding to go to the scene of the battle right away.
He decided to end his cultivation for now.
However, when he analyzed the result of his cultivation so far, he realized that it was satisfactory.
The great cosmos force had occupied forty percent of the total energy in his body,
providing him a surplus of power to draw from whenever he went to battle.
His whole body was buzzing with the terrifying amount of power.
As he walked out of the eye of the cosmos,
the space and time around him shook violently, as if they could not bear the pressure he was releasing.
"Master, you have finally come out of your seclusion!"
Feeling overjoyed, Warner and Emmet hurried over to Austin.
"Emmet, how's your injury?"
Austin asked.
"Thank you for your concern, master. I'm fine now,"
Emmet answered excitedly, pleased to know how much his master cared about him.
"However, in order to heal myself, I have used up almost all the treasures from heaven and earth that I
accumulated before,"
he added.
"It doesn't matter. That is not a big problem. We can get more in the future,"
Austin assured him with a smile.
"Master, many of the Curry Sword Cities have been destroyed.
We have suffered heavy losses.
It seems that the four major forces are going to officially start a war against us,"
Warner told him, his eyes clouded over with worry.
"It's okay.
I knew that this day would come sooner or later.
You two continue to guard the Ethereal World and protect the headquarters.
I'll take care of matters outside,"
Austin replied calmly. His ability to maintain his composure in any situation lent confidence to his
followers. It was one of the reasons they admired him so much.
"Okay, we understand.
Master, be careful,"
Warner and Emmet replied in unison. As usual, they would carry out his orders with the utmost care.
Austin walked out of the Ethereal World, staring thoughtfully into the distance.
"It's time to end this once and for all,"
he murmured to himself.
The four major forces were the ones who had opposed the Sword Son Curry back in the day.
Therefore, the four major forces and the Curry Sword Sect were mortal enemies.
Even if they hadn't made the first move, Austin would have eventually gone to them to settle the score.
After leaving the Ethereal World, he prowled in the void, searching for his target.
At the same time,
one of the armies of the four major forces besieged yet another city of the Curry Sword Sect.
This was a strong army made of elite warriors,
all of whom were burning with bloodthirsty desire.
"You are from the Ximen Clan, aren't you? Please leave this city right now. You are not welcome here!"
a semi-governing god shouted from inside the city.
One of the divine gods from the Ximen Clan scoffed in response and shouted,
"Kill all the people of the Curry Sword Sect!
Leave no one alive!"
But there was an equally loud shout that followed from a citizen of the Curry Sword City.
"Everyone, the opportunity to show our loyalty to our master has come. Let's kill all these foreign
enemies!"
