At that moment,
Austin felt elated for he had easily reached a high level.
In fact, he was even more powerful than all of the governing gods of the Blade Cosmos.
"Screw all of this! Everything's over!
All the blade energy that I have accumulated over the years was just devoured by that guy! I'm done
for," Donovan murmured to himself as he was extremely overcome with despair and exasperation.
He was currently deep in the void of the Blade Cosmos.
At this point, he knew that there was nothing he could do anymore to stop Austin from finally
conquering the Blade Cosmos as well as destroying his only chance of recovery.
Moreover, Austin continued to swallow the remaining blade energy in the blade shrines.
It took him a lot of time to consume all of them as he didn't want to let this opportunity slip by his hands.
Another half a year passed.
Finally, Austin managed to devour all the blade energy in all the blade shrines of the Blade Cosmos.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several golden dragons now hovered around Austin while letting out ferocious roars. While they looked
extremely dreadful, they regarded Austin as their master, making them look like his loyal familiars.
As he finished his business, Austin turned and looked in the direction where Donovan had stayed put.
Seeing his current condition, a playful smile appeared on his face.
Immediately after, Austin steadily made his way towards Donovan.
Boom! Boom!
With every step that Austin made, the space trembled vigorously. At the same time, he felt that he had
become one with the space of the Blade Cosmos. All kinds of blade laws surged from within his body
and continuously spread in all directions.
"What the hell is with this person?
How could he reach such a high level in terms of blade skills?"
"Not only that. It seems that at his current state, he's already superior to Supreme Grandmaster
Donovan in terms of blade skills!"
As Austin strode forward, he inevitably attracted the attention of almost all the masters of the Blade
Cosmos.
"Wait a minute! Isn't this the same young man who is in charge of the army of the Sword Cosmos?
He just keeps getting stronger at an astonishing rate!
Last time, it was also him who destroyed the blade arrays!"
"Are you serious? How is that possible? He's the commander of the Sword Cosmos' army, yet he's also
a peerless blade cultivator?"
"I know! I don't think even the governing gods of our cosmos could match his prowess in using the
blade!"
Countless masters in the Blade Cosmos were dumbfounded as they perceived Austin's level in his
blade skills.
About a moment later, Austin arrived at the chaotic void where the blade was situated.
Then, he went straight into the depths of the void without any hesitation.
"What do you think you're doing? You really think that you will be safe there and that I won't be able to
lay a hand on you?"
Austin stood outside the blade and stared at it as he crossed his arms over his chest.
He knew that Donovan was inside and he didn't want to waste his time playing hide and seek.
Without waiting for the Donovan's response, Austin suddenly released his spiritual sense and the law
of blade. Then, he used the law of blade to make contact with the blade.
Because of the brilliant law of blade that he had unleashed, the blade wasn't able to generate any kind
of force to strike him back.
Soon enough, Austin's spiritual sense managed to penetrate the blade.
"Fine! You win, brat!"
Inside the blade stood a middle-aged man who was enveloped with flames. A lot of emotions stirred in
his eyes as he stared at Austin. Resentment, panic, and frustration—all of these were pretty visible as
he faced the young man.
At this point, Donovan had nowhere else to run to.
Then, Austin's spiritual sense quickly transformed into a figure with the spitting image of Austin, making
it look like his avatar. It stood in front of Donovan and looked at him coldly.
"Well, who would have thought that an omnipotent god of chaos would end up like this?" Austin's
spiritual sense taunted.
"Humph! You don't know what you're saying, brat!
I'm just a spiritual soul mark that was left behind by a god of chaos.
If I was a genuine avatar of a god of chaos, you would have had no chance to prevail against me.
I could crush you with just a single hand," Donovan retorted disdainfully.
Hearing what Donovan said, Austin had the urge to examine the blade closely. After a while, he was
quite taken aback at what he discovered.
"Tell me. Are you the spirit of this blade?" he asked all of a sudden,
"Yeah. That's right. I am the spirit of this blade.
I'm surprised you figured that out.
Back then, my real body had engraved a spiritual soul mark in this blade, and that spiritual soul mark is
me.
Later on, the blade was lost in this place. At the same time, I began to gradually lose my energy,
making me weaker and weaker.
But before I have completely lost my energy, I came up with an idea to replenish them.
I made people build a lot of blade shrines in this supreme universe to serve as the source of my
energy, and it worked," Donovan recounted.
"I see.
It was just actually a hunch, but it turned out that I am right.
You really are just the spirit of this blade," Austin commented.
"Then, how come you could make such exceptional arrays?
If you are just a spiritual soul mark, I don't think you're supposed to be an expert at arrays.
How do you explain that?" Austin asked with furrowed brows.
"That's easy. It's because my real body once killed a god of chaos who was proficient in building arrays.
After that, my real body obtained all the arrays that were possessed and mastered by that god of
chaos.
Eventually, in order to increase this blade's power, my real body infused some arrays into it. Once the
blade was put into use, it would trigger all kinds of daunting arrays.
Since I'm the spirit of the blade, I knew how to use those arrays,"
Donovan explained.
Right now, he knew that he stood no chance to defeat the young man.
In terms of blade skills, he had to admit that Austin had become better than him.
Moreover, Austin's spiritual sense was a lot stronger than his.
Even if he relied on his arrays as his trump card, it would just be rendered useless before Austin. After
all, the young man had already destroyed the brilliant arrays that he considered to be the most powerful
ones.
Hence, at this point, he had nothing up his sleeve to use against Austin.
"Hmm. So, what should I do with you now, huh?
The supreme grandmaster of the Blade Cosmos..."
Austin seemed to be hinting at something.
"What do you mean by that? What do you want?"
Donovan was extremely suspicious of Austin's statement. After all, the young man was known to be
merciless and sly.
Although he was only an incomplete spiritual soul mark, he was still created by a god of chaos and he
had a strong self-esteem.
'This blade is a phenomenal magic treasure.
Moreover, Donovan is its guardian spirit.
If I could refine him and turn him into my slave, then I can also make the blade mine!'
Austin let out a wicked grin as he excitedly pondered on this thought.
A magic treasure that was once possessed by a god of chaos was obviously priceless.
As of now, Austin was already a remarkable blade cultivator. Hence, if he was to acquire this blade, he
knew that it should be of great use to him.
"All right, I've decided. I'll subdue him and turn him into my slave!"
Austin blurted out as he stared at Donovan.
"Get away from me, brat! You're insane!"
Donovan shouted in anger and panic as he heard what Austin wanted to do.
However, when Austin made up his mind, there was no going back from his word.
All of a sudden, dense red strings surged out from his Soul Sea.
It was like a bloody storm that poured down towards Donovan.
They quickly invaded his Soul Sea and tried to entangle his spiritual soul.
"Brat, how dare you do this to me?!
You won't get away with this!" Donovan desperately and furiously struggled.
Swish! Swish!
In an attempt to resist, he unleashed streaks of thick blade radiance from within his body.
"Ha-ha! You think your blade skills can do anything at this point?
Stop this pointless struggle because you're just making a fool out of yourself!" Austin remarked
condescendingly.
As he stretched out his hand, he instantly unleashed a blade radiance which was several times thicker
than Donovan's.
In the blink of an eye, Austin's blade radiance shattered all of the blade radiance that Donovan
created.
