"Huh?
What the hell is going on? The headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect is deserted!
Not one living soul could be seen anywhere. Has it become uninhabited?"
Other creatures from the Sword Cosmos were starting to wonder, as well. The entire place is
desolate―it gave off a foreboding aura.
"No way! Did all people of the Sky Sword Sect escape?"
"It's incredible!
They're known as one of the most powerful forces around, and yet, they fled without putting up a fight!
Such a ridiculous thing has never happened in the history of the Sword Cosmos before!"
Countless creatures couldn't help but exchange thunderstruck opinions. After all, this kind of
phenomena happened only in fantasies. After years of tyranny, a young man managed to overthrow
their power. They never thought they would see the day!
"Color me impressed! It looks like Austin will really rule the Sword Cosmos.
He has eliminated three of the four super forces―only the Long Sword Sect is left. At this rate, even
their sect would succumb before him,"
a creature sighed, shaking his head.
Austin stood above the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect. Using his spiritual sense, he perceived its
every nook and cranny to check where they went.
He figured it out after a while.
He fixed his gaze in a certain spot in the void―it was the headquarters' sacred altar.
"Hmm, it looks like they went this way."
Austin stepped forward and approached an ancient altar.
"All right! Let me see where you are going,"
he murmured to himself as he gave a disparaging smile.
Austin was proficient in the law of space and the law of causality. He could trace a myriad of things
along the trajectory of space and time.
Standing in front of the ancient altar, he made complicated hand gestures―like a butterfly passing
through a field of flowers.
The seal he made released countless of mysterious time and space runes. Everything was bright and
colorful as they hovered above the ancient altar in front of him.
A moment later, he commented,
"This altar is very powerful. I can't believe I can't see through it.
Forget it."
Austin realized that the ancient altar was fortified with special laws that he was unfamiliar with. It was
everywhere.
He couldn't even track the whereabouts of the members of the Sky Sword Sect through this altar.
After several more attempts, Austin gave up, shook his head, turned around and left.
"The last one left—the Long Sword Sect."
After leaving the headquarters of the Sky Sword Sect, Austin headed straight for his next destination.
After all, he did have plans of taking down the Sword Cosmos' four super forces.
He was confident he could do it in one go.
"Look, he's heading for the headquarters of the Long Sword Sect."
"This is truly stunning, isn't it?
Nobody except Austin is able to defeat all the four super forces in a single breath!"
"Without a doubt, he is really the number one warrior in the history of Sword Cosmos!"
The creatures discussed enthusiastically.
Everyone knew that Austin and the four super forces would definitely have a final battle in order to
struggle for the right to rule the Sword Cosmos.
But no one had expected for it to happen so soon.
They understood that the current battle was the biggest one―a decisive clash between Austin and the
four super forces.
Three of the four had already conceded before him. This fight with the Long Sword Sect was bound to
happen soon enough.
Austin walked step by step in the void of the Sword Cosmos, passing through one world after another,
heading for his next target, the Long Sword Sect.
Naturally, their headquarters was found in the Long Sword World.
However,
before Austin reached his destination, something interfered him.
"You will meet your maker today, young man."
A cold voice suddenly boomed from somewhere.
Austin stopped in his tracks and stared at the void in front of him, his eyes sharp and calculating.
A short figure was standing there.
It was a boy who was roughly around three years old.
However, his aura spoke far from the innocence of a young boy―it was raw, sharp, and frightening. It
spread into the void for millions of miles.
He kept his gaze fixed upon Austin, murderous and enraged.
"What?"
Austin observed the little boy up and down, trying to remember who he was. The boy looked familiar.
"Rollins!"
Suddenly, Austin thought of something.
In the past, when Austin first met Rollins, he had the physique of a five-year-old boy, but he was
actually a governing god.
Eventually, as he learned more about him,
Austin found out that Rollins retained a physical body of a child because he had cultivated a taboo
secret skill.
The secret skill involved the mystery of human life which also had something to do with the laws of
reincarnation, causality, time and space and so on.
This skill was passed down from the ancient times within the Long Sword Sect. Legends said that once
one succeeded in cultivating it, the cultivator would have infinite power.
Upon closer inspection, Austin realized that the child in front of him emitted the same aura as Rollins.
Obviously, the creature in front of him had also cultivated the same taboo secret skill. It was the only
conclusion plausible in this situation.
"I take it that you're from the Long Sword Sect?"
Austin scorned.
"That's right!
This is Elder Egan, the supreme grandmaster of our sect. He has been cultivating in seclusion for years
and years. Today, in order to kill you, he came out ahead of schedule.
You should be honored, Austin. You will die at the hands of this remarkable man!"
A shrill voice filled the atmosphere and Rollins appeared nearby, his face contorted into a sadistic look.
He had been injured by Austin for many times, and he hadn't fully recovered yet. Because of this, his
rage for Austin was boiling hot to the extreme.
"Your wrongful ways will end here, you brat. You will surely die.
I hope you can stop and go back.
Otherwise, the supreme grandmaster of our sect will make sure to turn your life into a living hell,"
a voice chimed in. The sect leader, along with the other governing gods of the Long Sword Sect,
showed up then.
"The supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect!"
"They also have a supreme grandmaster. That's amazing!"
"The four super forces are really powerful!"
Just when they thought Austin had it in the bag, the entire Sword Cosmos seemed to be dumbfounded
with this new information once more. They were terribly hooked in their fight.
No one had thought that the Long Sword Sect would also have a supreme grandmaster, just like the
Flying Immortal Sword Sect.
"Ah, so you are the one who's going to fight me?"
Austin stared at the supreme grandmaster of the Long Sword Sect and asked in a flat tone, his voice
without any trace of fear. In fact, he even had the audacity to mock them.
Austin didn't care who his opponent was. He only believed in strength.
"Tsk, you are too arrogant for your own good, young man.
This cheeky and uppity manner of yours are going to make sure you die early.
You are not destined to have a long life. In fact, it will end here."
The supreme grandmaster's eyes were as frightening as two heavenly swords, cutting at Austin
through the air.
"Oh, I don't think so, old man," Austin countered back. "I will live well.
You, however, will perish today. This is the end for you.
You haven't succeeded in cultivating your secret skill yet, but you forced yourself to come out. You must
be stupid!"
Austin scoffed.
With his keen spiritual sense, Austin found that the aura of this supreme grandmaster seemed
imperfect―his aura had flaws that he could use to his advantage.
The man was unable to reach the state of completeness.
This meant that he hadn't really successfully cultivated the secret skill yet.
"You bastards, you're just harming your supreme grandmaster miserably. Then again, it's not my
problem!"
Austin spat mercilessly, glancing at the other governing gods of the Long Sword Sect.
"Stop this bullshit, Austin! We know better."
"Son of a bitch! How dare you talk so crass when you're about to die."
"Show him no mercy, supreme grandmaster. Cut him into pieces and destroy his soul!"
Austin's words infuriated all the governing gods of the Long Sword Sect.
