"Master, can you deduce the exact location of that place?" Austin asked.
"And can you please find the best route to that place for me as well, so that I can go there faster," he
added after a short pause.
"If Humphrey successfully gets another chaotic sky-devouring beast egg, his strength will undoubtedly
soar!"
Austin couldn't help but worry.
After all, the statue master was a god of chaos.
Gods of chaos were known as omniscient and omnipotent. Thus, it shouldn't be difficult for him to
deduce the whereabouts of a living being.
"Don't worry. I'll help you figure it out," the statue master agreed.
The statue master understood Austin's concern.
Then, a moment of silence ensued as both of them focused on what they needed to do.
Time quickly passed.
Before long, a piece of information rushed out of the statue and entered Austin's Soul Sea.
"I just made a rough deduction, but it shouldn't be too far from that place. You should go there as soon
as possible."
The statue master knew that Austin was worried, and he was pressed for time.
"With your current strength, even if you can't defeat Humphrey when you encounter him, it won't be
difficult for you to escape from him.
However, if he obtains another chaotic sky-devouring beast egg, his strength will certainly increase
sharply. If that happens, it will be difficult to say whether you can escape or not," the statue master told
Austin honestly.
He analyzed the situation for Austin.
"Yes, master. I'll go now."
After saying that, Austin left the square where the statue was and walked out of the Fallen Divine
Valley.
He followed the directions that his statue master gave him and traveled as fast as he could. He didn't
have the luxury of time to enjoy the cool breeze or the beautiful sights he passed.
Thanks to his fast pace, he arrived at the edge of the Sea of Chaos not too long after.
There was nothing ahead—no time, no space, and no law energy. All of these things fell away.
Even a governing god could only stop if he came here, for there was a mysterious barrier in front that
blocked the way.
But Austin was well prepared. And he was much more powerful than ordinary governing gods.
Even though ordinary governing gods couldn't pass through, it didn't mean that Austin couldn't.
Austin activated the law of reincarnation and the energy of swordsmanship, great cosmos force,
physical strength, spiritual soul energy, and so on. In short, he had unleashed all the different kinds of
energy he had at that moment.
Moreover, he had activated a brilliant teleportation skill.
In fact, he had used this kind of teleportation skill to enter the Sword Cosmos before.
He slammed the barrier before him with all his might in a relatively weak spot.
Only powerful cultivators with strong spiritual sense, and those with omnipotent skill like the magical
sixth sense could pass through this barrier.
After all, Austin was not simply traveling through space. He was about to traverse a space sea.
But even if he used all his energy and hit the weak point of the barrier in front of him, he still suffered an
extensive backlash.
Before he realized what had happened, a mysterious and terrible force bounced back towards him.
However, Austin was not discouraged. It was the first time that Austin had tried to cross the barrier of a
space sea. He knew he could do it better.
"Let me try again!"
Austin roared and used all his energy again, coupled with his brilliant teleportation skill.
Simultaneously, he also activated Reincarnation Sword Skill, which he had just mastered not long ago.
Streaks of intimidating sword-light slashed toward the barrier's vulnerable points. There were nine rays
of sword-light in total, and each one is more powerful than the other. All nine rays were full of a strong
sense of reincarnation.
This time, the rebound force was much weaker, but Austin still failed to pass through it.
Despite the unfavorable results, Austin kept trying again and again. After thousands of attempts, he
finally succeeded. He was able to pass through the mysterious barrier with no more trouble.
However, once he had gone through the barrier, he found only empty space beyond it. He looked
around carefully but still found nothing.
In this way, Austin kept exploring and moving forward in this mysterious void.
There was nothing there.
Only the most primitive and simplest spatial structure remained.
Ordinary divine gods would never dare to come here because nothing existed here. All kinds of energy
and all kinds of laws couldn't survive in this place.
If an ordinary governing god came here, he would lose his power instantly. Worse, the terrible
environment here would crush him to dust, and in that way, he, too, would be nothing.
As Austin walked in this terrifying space, the Reincarnation Token on his body repeatedly flashed,
releasing a rich amount of reincarnation energy and the laws of reincarnation. The energy had formed
a shield like a vast cocoon, which wrapped around Austin to protect him.
Simultaneously, he found that his reincarnation pagoda was also shining, helping him resist the terrible
force trying to crush him.
As Austin advanced, he analyzed the message that his statue master sent him before in his Soul Sea.
And he used it as a guide in moving forward; every movement he made hinged on the direction
indicated by the message.
Austin walked for a long time.
He didn't know how long in particular since he had lost his sense of time, but it felt to him like he had
spent a decade already in this void.
Soon, the rhythm of his heart and footsteps, coupled with the silence of the void, began to lull him to
sleep.
It felt like he was swimming underwater, as his senses seemed blurred and dulled.
He felt like his body was growing heavier with each second that passed, and his limbs were getting
tired and droopy. It was like millions of divine mountains were pressing on his shoulder at the same
time, putting an unbearable burden on his shoulders.
"This place is so horrible that even I can't resist it."
Austin was still a little sober at this point, and he continued to walk forward mechanically.
In Austin's Soul Sea, the spiritual tree, the spiritual dragon, the spiritual heart, and the Chaotic Ice
Lotus were continuously releasing a massive amount of spiritual soul energy at the same time to
protect his spiritual soul.
In this way, he managed to move forward despite some difficulties. Still, he felt that his body was
getting more and more tired with every step he took.
"I can't believe it! Even I can't hold on any longer!"
Austin was beginning to feel discouraged as the burden continued growing heavier, taking a toll on his
mental and physical health.
However, at the critical moment, a voice suddenly echoed in Austin's mind.
It was the voice of the statue master.
"Austin, don't be afraid. The space you are passing through is called the Absolute Void. The biggest
distinguishing feature of the Absolute Void is that nothing is allowed to exist there."
He was slightly surprised that he could hear his statue master's voice inside his mind.
The voice continued, "Including space, time, energy, laws, all tangible and intangible materials, as well
as your spiritual soul, consciousness, thoughts... The void will slowly displace all these. In the end,
everything, from your body to your spiritual soul, will be taken away from you, and you'll be annihilated
and turn into nothingness."
The statue master described everything to Austin in detail.
"Even if a governing god walks into the Absolute Void, he would eventually be destroyed and
disappear. If one wanted to survive here, he has to keep his mind clear—in that way alone can he
preserve his soul."
It seemed that the statue master had predicted what could happen to Austin.
"Now, I'll teach you how to travel through the Absolute Void."
Austin was surprised when the statue master's voice continued lecturing him since he had thought he
already heard all of its messages.
It turned out that his statue master's first message, which he had sent into Austin's Soul Sea, contained
another message. It didn't appear until now.
