The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Boom!

Austin absorbed the essences of the swords one by one until they turned into ordinary swords.

Inside the hall, several long swords fell to the ground from tto tafter being sucked dry.

Tpassed slowly inside the hall where the trial was taking place.

At that time, Austin continued to absorb more and more sword essences.

However, the swords that kept on appearing seemed to be limitless.

Even though Austin was striving real hard to absorb as many as he could, the hall was still densely packed with dangerous swords

emitting terrifying auras.

As tpassed by, Austin was surprised at what he noticed.

Up until now, he was only able to absorb the swords that belonged to preliminary-grade and medium-grade divine gods.

The ones that belonged to premium-grade divine gods were all scattered far away and weren't responding to him.

As soon as he noticed this, Austin sat within the circle on the ground that was drawn by the Yaksha. He quickly released his

spiritual sense to intentionally communicate with the swords left behind by premium-grade divine gods, but to no avail.

Earlier, the Yaksha said that there were actually two long swords in the hall that belonged to governing gods.

However, even with Austin's strong spiritual sense, he wasn't able to find them.

'Such a shame. This must mean that my swordsmanship level is still too low.

I'm not yet strong enough to communicate and absorb the swords that were used by premium-grade gods and governing gods, '

Austin thought to himself as he let out a bitter smile.

However, this didn't hold him back. This actually pushed him harder to acquire every sword that he could.

As he absorbed more and more swords, his swordsmanship level began to gradually increase.

He continued patiently, perceiving a faint sense of transformation within him little by little.

Eventually, days passed.

Austin was still immersed in the cultivation and comprehension of his swordsmanship.

Then, finally, a month passed.

Inside the hall, Austin stood from the circle on the ground.

Boom!

As he suddenly opened his eyes, an impeccable aura suddenly gushed out from his body.

Two streaks of divine sword radiance beamed from his vicious eyes, like flashes of lightning during a violent thunderstorm.

He took a quick glance at his body and smiled faintly in satisfaction.

"This is from more than three hundred swords, huh? Not bad."

He was pretty excited to try his newly-acquired strength.

"Maybe | am not able to absorb those swords that belonged to premium-grade divine gods, but this is also great on its own."

The number of swordsmanship essences that he absorbed was not to be underestimated. Even if they were just from preliminary-

grade and medium-grade divine gods, depending on how they were used, a cultivator like Austin could wreak havoc.

At the stime, a figure suddenly appeared inside the hall.

"Oh, look at you. You're still alive.

| haven't been paying much attention to you for a month. | thought you might have been already killed by the swords."

The familiar voice cfrom the Yaksha. It was actually surprised as it saw Austin's state after neglecting him for a month.

Austin's body was fully covered by strong sword intent. At the stime, sharp and dazzling sword radiance were constantly

bursting out, making him look like a bright human-shaped hedgehog.

With his current state, no one could just haphazardly approach him.

The Yaksha also noticed Austin's eyes.

They were extremely bright that it was almost blinding for you to look directly into them.

The Yaksha clearly saw endless sword auras rolling in Austin's eyes which would make ordinary people tremble and freeze in fear.

After absorbing more than three hundred sword's essence, Austin's sword intent and sword auras were surging inside and outside

his body.

In fact, he was still adjusting and learning how to control the surge of auras all over his body.

"I can see that you have gained a lot.

Well, it seems like | underestimated you.

You passed! From here on, work hard to stay alive.

Don't letdown."

The Yaksha gave Austin swords to boost his morale.

"lI understand. Thank you, sir,"

Austin replied as he bowed respectfully.

"Well, you're done here. Go now."

With a wave of its hand, the Yaksha sent Austin away by enveloping him with a spatial teleportation force.

The next moment, Austin appeared on a floating bridge on top of the lake.

Austin was surprised to see such the boundless lake again.

"All right, human.

Tto move on.

From here on, you're on your own."

With that, that Yaksha instantly disappeared into the void.

For a while, Austin stood silently and thought of his next plans.

Then, he used his bodily movement skill to start exploring the area.

A day had already passed since Austin got out of the sword hall.

At this time, he stumbled into a nearby shore.

From there, he instantly saw a beautiful mountain range just ahead.

The floating bridge also led to the foot of the mountain, as if saying that it would be his next destination.

Austin got off the bridge and moved along the shore.

As he looked around, he felt his heart skip a beat.

He was so surprised to find several magnificent palaces deep in the mountains.

"What's the meaning of this? Are there creatures living in there?"

Austin was a bit confused. This wasn't really how the Fallen Divine Valley appeared in his imagination. As he continued walking, he

caught a clearer glimpse of the palaces from afar. He decided to head towards that direction.

He stayed on high alert. After all, no matter what its appearance was, this was still the dreaded Fallen Divine Valley.

It was one of the most horrifying forbidden lands in the entire Sea of Chaos.

He knew from experience that looks could be rather deceiving, so he couldn't be more careful.

Just as Austin was walking towards the palaces located at the depths of the mountains, he suddenly found two figures intently

looking at him from the forest not far away.

He was cautious at first, but then he relaxed as he quickly recognized the two figures.

"Austin, is that really you?"

A voice cfrom the distance.

"Yes, it's me!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Austin quickly rushed over.

"Ha-ha! Well done, Austin. | see you've successfully passed the test.

We were actually talking about you just a while ago."

From the jungle, Ingram and Tyrone emerged and greeted Austin.

"Well, | passed by luck. But at least | still gained a lot from it,"

Austin replied with a humble smile.

"That's true. | can see it.

| can clearly feel that your cultivation base in swordsmanship have improved a lot,"

Ingram praised Austin as he sensed the latter's aura.

"You, too! It seems that you two have also greatly improved your strength."

Austin was fascinated after sensing that the auras of Ingram and Tyrone were also much stronger than the last the saw them.

It seemed that every warrior that underwent the trial had obtained various powers and skills after passing the test.

"I didn't expect that there would be a test upon entering the Fallen Divine Valley.

But fortunately, you will be rewarded handsomely once you pass it.

Now, I'm wondering if this place is meant for acquiring various resources through trials.

Is it possible that it was designed by a great master?

If I had known of this, | should have gone to this place before and went through the trials.

Maybe that's why so many divine gods have been venturing into the Fallen Divine Valley since ancient times. I'm thinking if it's

really a very dangerous place as they say."

Tyrone speculated and was a bit excited.

"Don't be too complacent. You said so yourself. Since ancient times, divine gods have continuously entered this forbidden land.

However, how many of them were able to leave alive?

Did you forget that even Frost and Brain chere and went missing too? And we know that neither of them has made it out yet.

We don't know if they're still alive somewhere or if they're already dead.

| don't really think that someone would dare use this forbidden land as a place of trials,"

Ingram laid out his thoughts.

"Hmm, that's right.

| guess | was just caught up with the astounding rewards that one could obtain in this place.

And yes, it's too good to be true,"

Tyrone immediately agreed as he heard Ingram's explanation.

"For now, I'm really curious about those palaces.

Why don't we check them out?" Ingram pointed out and suggested.

"Yes. It has been botheringever since the first second | saw them," Austin said.

"It's the plan then. Let's tread carefully. We don't know what may be waiting for us," Tyrone added.

Then, the three of them used their bodily movement skills and headed for the palaces deep in the mountains.

"Wait. What?" "How is this possible?"

As soon as they approached the areas where the palaces were standing, they were shocked at what welcomed them.
