"Young man, come on, you must be kidding."
The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race all smiled in embarrassment.
They had honestly thought about taking on Austin before. But seeing his terrifying strength, they
immediately disregarded it from their minds.
Once they irritated Austin or did something that would put them in a bad light, things would surely be
more complicated.
"Young man, let's go back first,"
a governing god suggested to Austin.
"Okay, alright."
Austin nodded in agreement.
With that, Austin and the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race immediately rushed towards
the entrance of this cosmos.
When they were finally far away from the abyss,
a deep and heavy sigh suddenly sounded in their ears.
Shocked at what they heard,
they glanced at one another and quickly paused in their tracks.
"Young man, you definitely have some tricks up your sleeves. You entered the Longevity Valley and
managed to bring that object out.
You're something else but you must give it to me now,"
a deafening voice said from the depths of the cosmos.
Then, an immense law energy suddenly appeared out of thin air.
It turned into dazzling law chains. Then, it directly came at Austin and the eight governing gods like
poisonous snakes.
"This is the ultimate law!"
Austin was startled at what he saw as the color on his face was instantly drained.
The law that the governing god cultivated was the original chaotic law.
But the original chaotic law was not the highest law.
The ultimate law was the most advanced law and the most powerful.
Only the god of chaos was able to master and perform the ultimate law.
"Damn it! I can't move my body at all!"
"Help me! These law chains are extremely terrifying. They have tied me up completely!"
"This is being done by some terrifying being! It is making a move against us!"
The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race all screamed in utter horror.
"Calm down! If you don't want to die, just follow my orders and enter my space world!"
Austin loudly commanded.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he released a strong teleportation power. It enveloped the eight
governing gods and teleported them into one of the human worlds in his body.
Rendered motionless, the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were totally terrified. They
were glad that Austin protected them. There was no way they would refused his offer. So, in a flash,
they entered his body.
Whoosh!
Then, Austin activated his bodily movement skill to the extreme and immediately dashed towards the
entrance of the cosmos with all his strength.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
More and more law chains quickly rushed towards Austin like a gushing river.
Austin felt that the enormous law energy was coming at him in all directions like invisible giant hands
trying to grab his body.
"Ha-ha! Why are you in such a hurry to leave, young man? Hand that object to me at once.
It is the sacred object of the face race. Do you honestly think that you can take it away?"
In the distant void, a face suddenly appeared. The face looked like an amiable old man.
However, Austin totally feared him
for he emitted the immensely powerful ultimate law.
'Is this guy an actual god of chaos?'
Austin wondered to himself, shaken up.
'No, wait!'
Thinking more clearly, Austin thought that his initial guess was wrong.
'If he were really a god of chaos, he could already eliminate me with just his mind.
He wouldn't have gone through all this just to make me give him the object.
I wonder if he's a wisp of broken soul of a god of chaos, just like my master.
Otherwise, it's completely impossible for him to unleash the ultimate law,'
Austin carefully contemplated to himself.
Although he was getting confused, he didn't stop. He still rushed towards the entrance at full speed.
"Young man, you can't run away from me that easily.
Give me the wood or I won't let you leave at all," the old face said.
After that, he flew towards Austin. He seemed terribly slow, but in fact, he was moving at an extremely
fast speed. In an instant, he was near Austin.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Numerous law chains poured down on Austin like a heavy rain.
And this made Austin move slower.
'This is definitely not good. How come I came across such a formidable being?
I'm afraid I can't make it out of here alive,'
Austin dejectedly thought to himself.
"Sir, I think you are being unreasonable.
I worked awfully hard to bring this from the Longevity Valley. You can't just rob me of it like this,"
Austin suddenly roared at him.
The abyss they just went to was actually the real Longevity Valley.
"Ha-ha! Young man, I think you're mistaken. You are the one who is unreasonable.
That thing you stole is the holy treasure of our race.
But you are really decided on taking it away from us. So, how come I'm the one who is being
unreasonable?"
the old face retorted as he drew closer to Austin.
"Besides, you took away eight members of our race.
How are you going to explain that?"
the old face calmly said with a fake smile.
"Release them at once and hand me over the object you took, then you can leave.
Otherwise, I won't let you go anywhere,"
the old face casually said still with a fake smile.
He was so intimidating and patient for he was confident that Austin was no match for him.
He thought that Austin would agree eventually.
"Sir, if this wood is really your race's holy treasure, why didn't you go down to the abyss to get it
yourself?
You are obviously stronger than me.
Why only did you show up when I brought it back from the bottom of the Longevity Valley?"
Austin suddenly asked.
At the same time, Austin was still trying his best to dash towards the entrance.
However, he was getting slower and slower.
In the end,
Austin found himself unable to move at all as if he had fallen into a quicksand.
The law chains wrapped around him moved like snakes, producing hissing sounds.
"Ha-ha! Young man, to be honest,
there are only a few who can get out of the Longevity Valley alive.
Do you really think that that stupid tree is that generous? It completely fooled you here.
You are just one of his many laboratory rats.
Over the years, the stinky tree had tricked lots of people to get that wood in the Longevity Valley.
However, no one succeeded. They all failed and died in the valley.
I was shocked that you made it. I didn't really expect it.
Tsk, tsk. I must admit that you are really lucky.
That stupid tree wants to get its hands on this wood? I will never let that happen,"
the old face seriously said.
Then, his lips turned into a cunning smile.
"Ah, I see.
Sir, I bet you have also tricked many people into entering the Longevity Valley to get you this wood,
haven't you?"
Austin finally understood why the old face wanted the wood.
"Young man, you are totally right.
I know you are trying to buy yourself some more time.
But I'm telling you, just give up. No matter what games you want to play, it is not going to work.
Now give me that wood.
Then, I will talk to you and share you some secrets if you want,"
the old face said with a menacing smile.
