The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"I believe we struck a deal.

You teachthe secret of the mind power and the law of life, and then | give that piece of wood to you.

It's a fair trade.

| think this is the best option," suggested Austin.

With a wave of his sleeve, he hid away the gnand the Eight Stone Saints from the maternal tree.

"Well..."

Seeing this, the eight governing gods of the wood puppet race were surprised. They could sense that Austin's guard was up.

"Young man, you've gone much too far.

Don't you have any faith in me?

Hand over our race's sacred treasure, and I'll surely give you the explanation you are seeking.

Don't worry. | won't lie to you."

The maternal tree's voice beca little sullen as it spoke.

"It seems that things have changed.

This old tree obviously plans on duping me. | can sense a battle brewing. You can hide in my space world for now,"

Austin whispered to the gnand the Eight Stone Saints.

With another wave of his hand, he teleported them into a human world inside his body.

"In that case, I'll make myself clear about this.

This is expected to be an honest trade.

| won't hand that piece of wood over until you givethe secret of the mind power and the law of life.

Otherwise, our deal is off,"

said Austin.

"It seems that the maternal tree wants to go back on its word!"

The eight governing gods of the wood puppet race finally saw the situation clearly.

"Young man, you are asking for too much here.

The mind power and the law of life are the inheritances of our wood puppet race. No one is allowed to impart them to outsiders.

How dare you even try to attain our race's inherited knowledge? You are not taking us seriously enough!"

The maternal tree's tone took a harsh turn.

"Ha-ha!

| knew you'd be like this!

Enough with this nonsense, then.

Trade the secret of the mind power and the law of life for that piece of wood.

Otherwise, as I've said, the deal is off!"

shouted Austin, trying to keep his cool.

"Young man, | never planned on laying a finger on you since

| am not one to be accused of bullying the weak and the young. Now it seems that you've leftwith no other choice.

Since you are unwilling to hand over the sacred object of our race, I'll have to pry it from you myself!"

the maternal tree spat coldly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the enormous tree began to rumble, sending shockwaves throughout the space.

A horrifying aura of energy burst out and spread in all directions like wildfire.

In mere seconds, several explosions blasted out one by one

and huge mushroom clouds of energy rose into the air.

After this chaos, numerous and seemingly infinite branches jumped out and grabbed at Austin.

Each branch carried terrifying energy and easily penetrated space, like sharp arrows.

The sky was clouded with these nasty branches, spreading to wherever Austin stood.

The leaves on the branches continued to grow and becmore and more luxuriant.

The whole space seemed to have turned into a leafy green ocean.

Austin could feel the space slowly being sealed off.

Each branch was actually formed by the law of life.

"This is the ultimate law!"

Austin was shocked to realize the law that the maternal tree had displayed was also the ultimate law.

He could feel that the strength of the maternal tree was almost the sas the old face of the face race.

It never occurred to him that these two super forces both had such a terrifying suprgrandmaster.

"Shon you!

You're really going to go back on your word, just like that?

If so, | guess you'll never get this damned piece of wood!"

said Austin as he stepped back quickly, dodging the branches.

"Brat, I've been patient enough to actually speak to you. Who do you think you are to make the final say?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but your mere presence in this space already means you'll never escape!"

the maternal tree shouted with pure rage at Austin.

Splash!

The overwhelming branches with terrifying energy poured towards Austin like a tidal wave.

Austin tried his best to make a swift retreat as he danced his way around the branches.

He used every method he could to keep away.

Although the strength of this maternal tree was similar to that of the old face of the face race,

this time, Austin had prepared himself.

His eyes grew bright as an opportunity finally showed itself.

In an instant, Austin fell back and distanced himself from the maternal tree.

Moreover, he activated the Reincarnation Token, which emitted a strong spatial teleportation power, wrapping Austin and

teleporting him.

"You can't escape from me!"

The irritated maternal tree

kept shaking its trunk and countless branches dashed towards Austin.

Slowly but surely, the branches were beginning to keep up with Austin's speed.

They then emitted a terribly powerful kind of law energy.

It was the energy of the ultimate law!

Cold sweat ran down Austin's back as he began to falter in pushing back against the malevolent energy.

"Hey, if you continue to force my hand in this manner, I'll have no choice but to destroy the sacred object!"

threatened Austin.

"Ha-ha!

Silly brat. Your strength won't be enough to destroy that powerful artifact!"

said the maternal tree, in-between hearty laughs.

Austin took out the piece of wood and began to squeeze it. The great cosmos force and energy of swordsmanship erupted from his

body and shrouded the piece of wood to break it from the inside.

After a short barrage the wood turned out to be perfectly fine, much to Austin's chagrin.

"It's way too hard!"

Austin exclaimed. He didn't expect an ancient piece of wood to be so sturdy.

Given Austin's strength, he could break an entire world with one punch, so a piece of wood should've been easy.

'That can't be an ordinary piece of wood.

There must be something hidden within it!

Otherwise, these two couldn't care less about it,’

thought Austin to himself.

With no holds barred, Austin dashed as fast as he could.

From behind him, the vast green branches shot out like elegant green dragons as they roared and quickly chased after him.

Austin suddenly felt the space around slowly getting smaller and smaller.

He began to slow down his pace.

‘This old man's strength is much too terrifying!"

Austin gave a helpless sigh as he fretted at what to do.

All of a sudden,

he heard a voice.

"Young man, fear not. I'll help you.

As long as you givethat piece of wood, I'll help you deal with that ratty old tree."

The voice cfrom the space ahead, and then an old face appeared.

‘Damn it! Seriously?'

Austin felt a cold chill ride down his back from the sight.

One strong enemy was already hard enough to handle. Now, he was facing two! He was sandwiched between two dangers!

Running out of options, Austin cto a halt.

"Please, I'm your junior. | don't think it's very good for your image to extortlike this,"

said Austin, with a bitter smile.

"You stinky old face! What the hell are you doing in my territory?"

the maternal tree screamed to the old face.

"Ha-ha, you already know the answer, don't you, you ratty old tree?

First you cheated this young man into attaining that for you, and now you use such a despicable method to get rid of him. For

shame!"

said the old face as he stared at the maternal tree.
