The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The man was extremely fearful of Austin, so he answered every question Austin asked.

With the man's guidance, they arrived at an isolated mountain about ten miles away from the town.

In the wilderness, they found an old-looking temple.

"My master usually stays and practices his martial arts in this place. We chere so we can learn martial arts from him,"

the man said nervously.

'How can there be a temple in this kind of place?

Besides, there's not even a hint of positive energy in this temple. All | can sense is the strong aura of evil, '

Austin thought to himself.

Despite his distance from the temple, Austin's spiritual sense was capable of perceiving anything in it.

Crash!

Austin hit the man's head with his hand and released the Scorching Evil Fire. With the rolls of flames, the man's body was quickly

burned to ashes.

A moment ago, Austin heard a conversation from the group of people that included the man he just killed. They were not only

planning on grabbing his money but also decided to kill his whole family. After they executed their plan, they were going to get rid

of all pieces of evidence by destroying their bodies.

Upon hearing that, Austin felt enraged and cafter them to show no mercy.

Moreover, these people had the Spirit-possessing Skill and were powerful. If they continued to exist, more people would be in

danger and might end up being killed by them.

After Austin killed the man, he moved towards the temple deep into the remote area of the mountain.

In just a few seconds, Austin arrived in front of the temple.

It seemed that the temple had been there for many years. The paints on its walls had been severely worn out that no one could

know its original color.

Despite that, the temple was kept clean. The threshold was stamped smoothly, and it seemed that several people were visiting the

place often.

All of a sudden, Austin stood alert as he felt that a spiritual sense, coming from the temple, was aimed at him.

Moreover, it was a powerful one.

‘There's something unusual in this temple.’

Austin was surprised and thrilled at the stime.

The Earth was nearing the end of the cultivation era, and it was difficult for living beings to cultivate themselves.

However, inside the temple was someone who possessed a strong spiritual sense. Austin knew right away that there was

something extraordinary going on.

‘Let's see how you treat your guests.’

Austin stepped forward and walked towards the gate of the temple.

Suddenly, he felt a gust of cold wind and heard a strange voice cfrom the temple. If ordinary people experienced that, it would

be very frightening for them—especially when they were alone in a barren wasteland.

The gate flew open, and sharp claws that were about three meters long stretched out and tried to scratch Austin's head.

Without dodging, Austin held out his hand and grabbed the claws. He forcefully dragged out a huge body out of the temple.

When Austin took a good look, it turned out to be a huge owl.

The owl was as big as a grown water buffalo, and it had the face of a human. It stared at Austin with its fierce eyes.

With a wave of Austin's hand, the owl was sent flying, and it hit the thick forest about a few hundred meters away.

Austin then continued to step into the temple.

"How dare you!"

Aloud and cold voice reverberated.

To Austin's surprise, the whole temple began to shine.

It was so bright that it was almost blinding.

Then, a dark red light started to cover the sky. The whole mountain range looked dreadful as if evil beings would emerge at any

time.

Waves of demonic fog rose and spread all over the place.

Soon, Austin noticed an ancient mysterious array emerging from the void and began enveloping the temple.

'What is this kind of array?!"

Austin was shocked at the sight of the array. He instinctively retreated several meters back when he felt the strong aura coming

from it.

'How could there be such a strong array here?

Even if my strength isn't weakened, I'm not sure if | could enter this temple that easily."

Austin was dumbfounded.

'What's that? There seems to be a plaque at the gate of the temple. Swords were written on it, but | can't read it clearly.’

Austin got a bit curious.

However, it was a little blurry due to the red lights and the fog. It was difficult to read with just naked eyes.

Austin used the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor between his eyebrows and read the words written on the plaque.

"The Temple of Elliot."

These were the four words engraved on it.

‘Elliot?! Is it THE Elliot?"

Austin was shocked when he finally read it.

He was no stranger to this ancient name.

Austin was a university graduate and knew a lot of mysterious stories and legends of his homeland.

It was said that in ancient times, both Elliot and Haidar were known as great leaders of their own tribe. But wherever there were

people, greed for power followed. Eventually they stood against each other and the war broke out.

The two sides fought an overwhelming battle in the vast land. This was the first and the most famous battle in the ancient legends.

In this battle, both sides used a lot of magical weapons and dispatched all of their soldiers and generals. A lot of gods also cto

join their battle.

In the end, Haidar defeated Elliot and killed him with his own hands.

The gruesbattle made Haidar famous throughout the world. This was how he attained the title of Emperor Haidar, which

signified that he was the one who meant to rule the world.

Since then, Emperor Haidar had ascended the throne and unified the world.

As for Elliot and his subordinates, they were all put to death, together with their tribes.

However, although Elliot was defeated in the battle, his stories had been circulating among the populace. For thousands of years,

sregarded him as a hero who once fought against mighty Emperor Haidar. His stories were passed from generation to

generation.

It was said that Elliot had a face like a bull's and a pair of huge wings on his back. He also possessed three heads and six arms. His

body was as tough as bronze and iron, which kept him unhurt from attacks made by swords and spears.

Moreover, he had eighty-one loyal followers. All of them had tough bodies and were known for having eight arms and nine toes.

These followers also had an outstanding fighting ability.

"Is this place Elliot's holy shrine?"

Austin was amazed as he didn't expect that he would see it in this kind of place.

He contemplated for a while and took out an old wooden ruler.

It was the Layne's Ruler. Austin obtained it as a prize when he won first place in the first round of the trial back in the Primordial

Road.

The most impressive feat of the Layne's Ruler was that it could be used to conquer all kinds of arrays, including the most complex

and the most dangerous ones. Almost all arrays would be rendered useless in front of it.

"Well, | guess | can try using the Layne's Ruler and see whether it can break this one," Austin said in a hopeful tone.

Austin held the ruler in his hand and walked towards the temple.

Since he had obtained the ruler, he never had the chance to use it against powerful arrays. It was the perfect opportunity to make

use of it.

Whoosh!

Austin reached the temple again in a split second.

Boom!

The temple burst out more dazzling demonic lights as the array emitted terrifying energy directed at Austin.

He was amazed that an array like this existed in such a backward planet.

Austin estimated that even a golden immortal would not be able to cope up with this kind of array.

However, with the power of the Layne's Ruler in his hand, he might have had a huge chance of overcoming it.
