"That's impossible. How could this be? Why is his fighting power getting stronger?"
The ruler was unwilling to accept how the fight went, but at this point, he could do nothing to change
the situation.
As time went by, the law of reincarnation that Austin had displayed was becoming more and more
profound and brilliant.
He had a hard time accurately locating Austin's position throughout the battle. The ruler's attacks did
not do much damage to his enemy―it barely grazed his skin!
Cultivating was not merely about mastering a greater number of various laws; one must have the
desire to attain the most perfect state of a certain law. Once its zenith was achieved, only then would
the true power of this law be revealed.
Austin had learned a lot about cultivation due to this battle.
After they fought for a while, the ruler retreated and instantly distanced himself from Austin.
Standing in the void, he gave Austin a long hard look. With one final indignant glance, he turned around
and left.
Seeing the ruler leave, his subordinates did not stay any longer. They immediately retreated like a tide
lowering, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Austin let him escape. Although he was strong enough to suppress the ruler, he knew he would still find
it hard to defeat him, let alone kill him.
He was powerful in his own way so it was safe to assume that he would not go down without a fight.
"That was remarkable, young man. You even scared the ruler away!"
"Ha ha ha! He acted so arrogant all these years. Look at him now, scampering as fast as he could with
his tail between his legs. I never thought I'd see the day!"
"You are amazing. I can't help but admire your grit and skill!"
When the ruler ran away, the primitive gifted beasts were delighted and praised Austin endlessly.
Austin simply smiled in return. "Are you ready, sirs? If so, we can go now,"
he asked.
"Almost," one of the beasts answered. "You see, we have lived here our entire lives. Now that we are
leaving, we can't help but feel a little wistful about it."
Some of the beasts were reluctant.
"If you may, young man, but we'd like a little more time to savor our time at this star,"
a beast requested to Austin.
"All right."
Austin nodded. He let them have their way. He was not in a hurry anyway.
It took the creatures a couple more days of melancholic reminiscing.
"We are ready, young man. We can go now,"
one of the beasts approached Austin and gave him a heads-up one day.
"In that case, sirs, we should go now,"
Austin responded.
Thus, Austin and the chaotic sky-devouring beast left this star with the primitive gifted beasts.
"Let's entirely leave this space sea and find a much safer place,"
Austin said to the chaotic sky-devouring beast.
He was worried that the ruler would return and trouble them again; that he was merely gathering his
strength from his time away. After all, this was his territory. As the saying went, 'A powerful dragon
cannot crush a snake in its old haunts.' Who knew if the ruler would have any other tricks up his
sleeve?
"That's exactly what I have in mind too."
The chaotic sky-devouring beast nodded.
Thus, the chaotic sky-devouring beast, Austin, and the primitive gifted beasts left the space sea they
were in and entered the Absolute Space Sea again.
"It's been ages since we've been to the Absolute Space Sea!"
As soon as they arrived, the primitive gifted beasts felt excited about stepping foot in there again.
Also, they found that the Absolute Space Sea was a very suitable place for them to stay in.
Eons back, these primordial beasts had once resided in the Absolute Space Sea. Now that they had
returned, they couldn't help but feel nostalgic and sentimental.
In the following days, Austin, the chaotic sky-devouring beast, and these primitive gifted beasts
wandered around in the Absolute Space Sea. They found many treasures and entered many strange
space seas.
Austin discovered something about himself as they journeyed―he now had an expansive vision!
Back then, every time he traveled, his activities were merely limited to the Sea of Chaos. Now, he had
learned that there were plenty of other strange space seas.
This kind of experience was humbling. The entire universe was indeed a great expanse where it could
offer you infinite wisdom. It had changed his mindset entirely.
They remained at the Absolute Space Sea for quite a while. Nobody knew for how long.
The main reason for this was because the time in Absolute Space Sea was divergent―it could not be
calculated nor comprehended easily. The time system was completely different from the Sea of Chaos.
From their voyage, Austin encountered some unique places where time flowed backward!
As their group explored further in the Absolute Space Sea, in the space sea where Austin acquired the
Immortal Tribulation Tree,
there, standing on top of a star, was the ruler. He had a dozen figures clad in gray robes beside him.
"Sir, we've successfully cast a curse on that young man. No matter where he is hiding, we can surely
find his location.
Moreover, we also cursed the chaotic sky-devouring beast and the primitive gifted beasts. Whenever
you need, we can find them through the guidance of the spells we put on them,"
one of the gray-robed men informed the ruler.
"I'm going to contact some of my friends whom I haven't seen for a long time. After I gather all of them,
I'll exact my revenge on that human boy.
He took something dear to me. I must settle accounts with him,"
the ruler replied with his fists clenched. He wanted to hurt Austin as soon as he could. However, he had
to be patient. Perfectly-orchestrated plans took time.
"Understood, sir. Whenever you need our help, just say it and we are always at your disposal.
We'll take our leave now,"
a figure in grey robes advised.
"You can go."
The ruler nodded.
With that, the dozen gray-robed figures left.
Meanwhile, in the Absolute Space Sea, the chaotic sky-devouring beast had grown significantly, and its
strength had improved considerably.
Then, Austin suddenly told the chaotic sky-devouring beast,
"It's time for us to go back to the Sea of Chaos."
Austin felt that he had been in the Absolute Space Sea for a long time.
Moreover, in the Absolute Space Sea, the speed and direction of the time flow were different compared
to the Sea of Chaos. He was worried that if he stayed in the Absolute Space Sea longer than he
intended, he would not know how much time had passed in the Sea of Chaos.
Therefore, Austin figured that he had to go back as soon as he could.
"Let's prepare and get ready. We're returning to the Sea of Chaos,"
the chaotic sky-devouring beast agreed.
Thus, the chaotic sky-devouring beast found the right direction and led the group to go back to the Sea
of Chaos.
Austin, along with all the beasts tagging along with him, were immensely powerful. Hence, their
traveling speed was lightning fast. Before they could notice it, they were almost at the Sea of
Chaos.
