"How dare an ignorant clown make a scene in the territory of our Blade Cosmos?!
Go to hell!"
An angry voice came from the headquarters of the army of the Blade Cosmos.
There was a loud buzz,
and a huge beam of dazzling blade radiance came from their headquarters.
The blade radiance exuded terrifying pressure.
It caused sand and stones in the void to fly, and smoke to billow, and it had the power to sweep away
an army.
Everywhere it passed, destruction followed and the space rumbled.
The creatures of the Sword Cosmos were crushed under its tremendous power and were unable to
move.
The blade radiance moved towards the Xi'men Clan.
"Humph!
You think you can hurt us with that?"
yelled the patriarch of the Xi'men Clan.
He stepped forward to defend his people.
With a wave of his hand, the patriarch produced a streak of mighty sword-light.
With a loud boom, the sword-light collided with the blade radiance, shaking the void.
The huge sound reverberated all around them, and the creatures tumbled and fell.
A few seconds after the collision, the patriarch of the Xi'men Clan was forced to take two steps
backwards, with a look of shock on his face.
He realized that the person exuding the blade radiance was a terrifyingly powerful cultivator.
"Ha! Is that all you got? Such a pity!
No wonder the Sword Cosmos is so weak."
A wild laughter rang from the headquarters of the army of the Blade Cosmos.
As soon as the laughter died,
tall, strong figures with fierce auras walked out of the headquarters of the army of the Blade Cosmos
one after another.
More than forty governing gods stood in front of the army of the Sword Cosmos, each of them
shrouded in terrifying blade aura.
Large troops followed the governing gods, flowing out of the headquarters like the tide, armed and
ready to wreak havoc.
The two armies stood facing each other, waiting to clash.
Ferocious auras were felt from the people of both sides; like a boundless ocean, they filled the void
around them.
"They are powerful..."
Seeing the more than forty governing gods of the Blade Cosmos, the governing gods of the Sword
Cosmos could not help but sigh silently.
The Sword Cosmos had way less than forty governing gods, including those from the Flying Immortal
Sword Sect, the Xi'men Clan and the Long Sword Sect, and also Warner and Emmet.
At first sight, they seemed to be outmatched.
Moreover, the more than forty governing gods in front of them were only a small fraction of what the
Blade Cosmos had.
It was rumored that the Blade Cosmos had invaded several supreme universes other than the Sword
Cosmos.
And they had sent a group of governing gods to guard each of those supreme universes they had
invaded.
There were probably others who were trying to drive out the Blade Cosmos just like them. These
creatures were relentless invaders.
And their army was strong enough to control all those they had invaded.
'Hm. Their overall strength is commendable,'
Austin thought to himself.
'But it will not be enough.'
A dark smile appeared on his face and his eyes turned cold.
Warner sensed Austin's murderous intent by his side.
He stepped forward and shouted, "This is an order from my master to you fanatics—if you're wise, you
will turn tail and run away from the Sword Cosmos right now!
If not, you all will die!"
There was silence all around. Then, a tall man with dark purple skin stepped forward from the army of
the Blade Cosmos.
"So, you must be Austin," he said, pointing at Austin with a sneer.
"That's right. I am Austin,"
Austin replied coldly.
The tall man laughed loudly. "You are nothing but a boy who is young enough to be suckling. How dare
you order us to do anything? This is ridiculous!" he said, huffing.
"My name is Rich, also known as the Roc Blade King.
And I am the man who is going to put an end to your pathetic life!"
The Roc Blade King was a famous governing god from the Blade Cosmos, and he was looking down
on Austin.
It would end up being his downfall.
"You can try,"
Austin replied indifferently.
Rich's face darkened.
"You're a mere semi-governing god.
I can kill you with a flick of my finger!
You will regret ever coming in front of me. Now, die!"
His cold voice resounded throughout the void.
He waved his hand and the next moment,
a thick blade aura burst forth from his body.
The aura was so powerful that it blotted out the sun and covered the sky in dark fumes.
Endless energy of blade skills emitted from the blade aura,
and it swept across the void towards Austin.
The speed of the blade aura was astonishing and it caused tremors in the void as it headed straight for
Austin.
Austin recognized that the blade aura contained a very brilliant law of space. In an instant, it got close
to him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"What is this insignificant skill?
How dare you use such a fragile skill to fight me?"
Austin asked. He stretched out his right hand in the air.
The blade aura turned violent, indicating the anger of its master.
As it passed through the void, it tore apart everything in its path.
"Insignificant?"
Rich was furious seeing that Austin intended to use only one hand to resist his attack.
"You will eat your words soon!" he said, laughing, as the blade aura almost reached Austin.
However, before he could even finish laughing, Austin grabbed the aggressive blade aura with his right
hand.
Then, he pinched it with his fingers gently.
The thick blade aura was annihilated in an instant.
"W—Wait... What happened?!"
Rich narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
After a few seconds, he straightened up and called out to Austin, "Brat, it looks like you are not just talk
after all."
He finally admitted that he had underestimated Austin.
"But, don't get too worked up.
I can still kill you very easily!"
Rich shouted.
He prepared for the next attack and yelled,
"Go to hell!"
The next instant,
he disappeared from where he stood,
and a huge purple roc appeared in his place.
The beast was covered in dense purple feathers and emitted terrifying pressure which was a hundred
folds more than what Rich had projected earlier.
With a loud cry,
the roc flapped its giant wings.
Ignoring the violent wind, the bird flew towards Austin at an astonishing speed.
"Careful, Rich!
He's dangerous!"
someone among the army of the Blade Cosmos shouted.
Many of the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos had seen Austin's horrifying power with their own
eyes.
They already knew that dealing with Austin was going to be truly challenging, even for the Roc Blade
King.
Rich, however, had a different opinion.
He laughed. "His strength is limited to that of a mere semi-governing god!
What is it that you are so frightened of? I will kill this brat and show you what true strength is!"
"Look at you.
You're nothing but a wild beast.
Don't overestimate yourself!"
Austin sneered, standing with his hands behind his back.
His taunts were effective. The roc came towards him faster.
A wicked smile appeared on Austin's face, and at the same time, a small sword appeared above his
head.
The sword was engraved with runes related to swordsmanship. It wiggled gently in the air, as if it had
been alive.
"Slash!"
Austin ordered.
With a hiss,
the small sword slashed at the roc that was flying towards Austin.
Surprised by the sudden attack, the roc tried to dodge.
The beast was fast; however, Austin's sword was faster.
In an instant, it appeared in front of the roc.
"What?! How is this possible?"
Rich shouted in horror.
The seemingly ordinary sword seemed extremely terrifying to him now.
He faced the small sword with fear.
It was too late; there was no escape.
The sword slashed the roc's body, and the beast was cut in half.
With a deafening bang,
the two halves of the roc's body exploded.
Blood mist splattered all over the place. A scene of terror ensued.
"Argh!"
Rich screamed.
Divine blood gushed out from his wounded body.
Without wasting any time,
Rich started reconstructing his physical body.
His face was deathly pale and he stared at Austin with fear in his eyes.
For a moment,
there was deathly silence in the void.
Rich, the famous Roc Blade King, was turned to dust with a single sword strike.
Austin's raw power terrified not only his enemies, but also his allies.
"Well... That was extraordinary. The power of the Sword-converging Skill exceeds my expectations,"
Austin commented, nodding with satisfaction.
The small sword which he had just used was the Sword-converging Skill, which he had mastered only
recently.
