Sword Son Curry's old subordinates were excited at Austin's words.
"Have you finally decided to attack the invaders from the Blade Cosmos?
We have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
It was well known that Sword Son Curry had ruled the Sword Cosmos at a time when it was still whole
and complete, before the Blade Cosmos had invaded it.
Since several major forces of the Sword Cosmos had later colluded with the enemies, people from
other supreme universes were allowed to enter the Sword Cosmos. That was how the invaders from
the Blade Cosmos had come to occupy a vast territory in the Sword Cosmos.
And this was why Sword Son Curry and his subordinates still remained hateful.
All of them hoped to one day regain their lost territory and drive the invaders out of the Sword Cosmos.
"Mr. Lin, the moment you give the order, we will attack the headquarters of the Blade Cosmos's army.
Let's do this once and for all!"
a thin old man with white hair and beard said to Austin.
This old man had a good reputation and a high position among Sword Son Curry's old subordinates.
He had become the leader of the group after Sword Son Curry had left the Sword Cosmos.
"The lost territory of the Sword Cosmos must be recovered!
But it isn't time yet.
Don't worry, everyone. When the time is ripe, we will work together to drive the intruders out of the
Sword Cosmos!"
said Austin.
In fact, given Austin's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with the army of the Blade Cosmos
on his own.
But he thought of Donovan, who the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos had mentioned many times
before,
and realized that Donovan was probably a very tough opponent.
He was afraid that once they launched their attacks on the Blade Sword's army, Donovan would show
up and join the battle.
So Austin decided to wait a little longer before things became clearer.
"Don't worry, sirs. I won't make you wait for long. That day will come very soon,"
Austin added, soothing the others.
"No problem. We will wait for your order,"
the white haired old man replied respectfully.
His name was Ellis.
A divine god slave suddenly rushed to Austin and said,
"Master, there are many people outside the Ethereal World saying they want to see you.
They are the envoys from various forces in the Sword Cosmos."
"I see. Sir, Warner, and Emmet, I will leave this to you to handle,"
Austin said. He then waved a hand, turned around, and left.
"Yes!"
Ellis, Warner, and Emmet exclaimed in unison.
The three of them held the highest positions in the Curry Sword Sect apart from Austin.
And now, Austin had left the Curry Sword Sect to them to take care of.
The envoys outside had most probably come to request to join Austin's sect on behalf of their forces.
Austin had no interest in dealing with such boring matters.
Instead,
he began to cultivate in seclusion.
He didn't show up for several years.
Time seemed to fly by quickly and
soon enough, five years had passed.
The Sword Cosmos had entered a peaceful period.
The four major forces of former times rarely showed up anywhere.
The Flying Immortal Sword Sect had isolated itself from the outside world.
Even if some members of the Flying Immortal Sword Sect occasionally showed up on the scene, they
would keep a low profile and never cause any trouble. They would take special care to avoid the
people of the Curry Sword Sect.
The Xi'men Clan was in a similar position as the Flying Immortal Sword Sect.
They hadn't announced to the whole cosmos that they wouldn't appear openly, but they still kept to
themselves.
And as for the Sky Sword Sect, no one knew where its members had gone.
The whole sect had completely disappeared.
The Long Sword Sect had also remained quiet.
The major forces hadn't stirred up any trouble in the past few years.
The whole Sword Cosmos was completely under the control of the Curry Sword Sect.
Nobody in the Sword Cosmos dared neglect or disrespect the people of the Curry Sword Sect.
The Curry Sword Sect had officially become the ruling sect of the Sword Cosmos.
Warner, Emmet, and Sword Son Curry's old subordinates quickly became famous in the Sword
Cosmos.
Warner and Emmet especially worked perfectly together.
Austin had asked them to share the sword skills they had learned with each other.
In a short while, they had greatly improved their strength in this manner.
Warner and Emmet were only semi-governing gods,
but their combat power was equivalent to that of a governing god.
This meant that Austin had two warriors almost as powerful as governing gods under his command.
Earlier, Austin had carried the entire Curry Sword Sect on his shoulders.
But the situation was different now. Warner and Emmet would finally be powerful enough to take care
of almost everything in the sect.
Both of them were Austin's slaves, so Austin didn't mind letting them improve their strength.
After all, it would only benefit Austin in the long term.
Time continued to pass.
Ten years had passed when
one day,
a deep rumble suddenly sounded from within the
the eye of the cosmos inside the Ethereal World.
Boom!
A large number of dark clouds began to appear, covering the blue of the sky.
Thick lightning bolts crackled among the dark clouds, releasing a destructive aura that sent chills
through people watching.
Something was happening within the Chaotic Abyss.
"I'm finally going to make a breakthrough!"
Austin exclaimed, his eyes flying open as a look of surprise took its place on his face.
He had, by this point, been sitting cross-legged for more than ten years now.
Before long, he stepped out of the eye of the cosmos,
looking up at the dense, dark clouds above his head.
Thick lightning bolts targeted Austin.
"Come on.
Don't waste my time,"
Austin said lightly, looking relaxed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surging sea of lightning and thunder began to finally pour down.
Austin was already a genuine premium-grade divine god.
If he managed to break through again, he would become a semi-governing god.
Austin had had to successfully dodge the Thunderstroke Doom countless times in order to become a
genuine divine god.
But now, the Thunderstroke Doom he had to take was different from what it was before.
It was now at a higher level.
This meant that Austin could not break through by dodging it.
To become a semi-governing god, he had to fight the Thunderstroke Doom that was now falling from
the sky.
Boom!
Thunder and lightning began to rain down.
This kind of Thunderstroke Doom was extremely powerful for a semi-governing god to take care of.
An ordinary semi-governing god would probably instantly turn to dust the moment he came into contact
with a Thunderstroke Doom of such power.
But it was no big deal to Austin.
He stood still, his hands tied behind his back, letting the lightning and thunder hit his body.
He sustained no damage during the whole process.
Even his clothes remained intact.
The powerful lightning and thunder bounced off Austin's body the moment they touched him.
"I've never seen such an amazing scene!
This is crazy!"
"No wonder Mr. Lin is a powerful, domineering warrior. He even has a distinct way of breaking through
the Heavenly Doom!"
A number of divine gods were watching Austin breaking through the Heavenly Doom in the distance,
sighing in awe.
