The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"There is an Emperor Realm master in the PrMartial World," Austin murmured.

He then continued to watch the pattern on the wall.

The Emperor Realm master exerted himself while fighting the single-horned humanoid creature. Their battle lasted for three days and three nights. The strong cultivator focused all his strength on his fist and punched the beast. The deadly blow shattered the monster as easily as porcelain.

The painting on the wall expressed the enormous power the Emperor Realm master had exerted, vividly.

Looking at the pattern, Austin felt like he was physically present during that critical moment in the fight.

The strong cultivator had slain the monster, which was much stronger than him with a single blow.

Austin wanted to see more. However, he found that the latter part of the pattern was lost due to the broken wall. Hence, he couldn't see what happened next.

After he was done reading, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down. 'l can't believe it. Such a powerful creature used to live in this deserted mine, and that the human master killed it, he exclaimed in his mind.

Austin was impressed by the Emperor Realm master's bravery and strength. He couldn't help but admire and be in awe of the cultivator.

What interested him most was that the Emperor Realm master appearing on the pattern had defeated the beast with his incredible physical strength.

During the whole battle, the master only took advantage of his physical power at the end to deal with that single-horned humanoid creature.

'So he reached the Emperor Realm by cultivating his physical strength, * Austin speculated in astonishment.

‘Although | finished practicing the fifth stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, | have just entered the Sky Realm.

But the master in the pattern reached the Emperor Realm. How powerful was his physical strength? It is most likely that his blow carried hundreds of thousands of pounds of force." The thought made Austin excited. 'ls it possible for a human to get amazing physical power like him?' Austin was thrilled. He looked forward to possessing similar horrifyingly strong physical power as the Emperor Realm master in the painting.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Austin became. However, he didn't stick around for long. He moved forward with great care.

As he took a few steps forward, several piles of human bones cinto his view. When he looked ahead, all Austin could see was skeletal remains.

Those heaps of bones were as tall as a human child. With no way around them, Austin had to step on the bones to move forward.

The sound of bones crunching beneath his feet filled the silence around Austin.

A strong corpse miasma filled the whole passage. Austin felt as though he had run into a graveyard.

After a few miles, he could still see piles of bones around him. Even though Austin was a fearless and persistent young man, he was startled. Goosebumps spread over his whole body as he thought about the bones in the passage.

'Oh, man! How many people have lost their lives here?' he wondered.

Cautiously, Austin took a few more steps forward.

He couldn't afford to lower his guard. After all, a mysterious creature, which could match an Emperor Realm master's strength used to live here. He wasn't sure whether there was another super-strong existence in the passage and whether he stood a chance at defeating what was waiting for him deep inside the mine.

As he kept going, six paths that led to different directions appeared before him.

Austin followed the gnome's advice and chose the middle one.

Moments later, he entered a spacious lobby.

"Oh, this is not good!" The instant he stepped inside, Austin was shocked to see several hundred diabolic bats pouncing at him.

Austin activated the sword of vital energy. Simultaneously, he used his free hand to display the Brutal Blast Fist. An hour later, he had killed all the bats. Their dead bodies lay on the ground and dark green blood flowed around the diabolic bats.

Austin's eyes fell on the altar in the corner. Over thirty glowing crystals had been placed on it. Together, they released intense spiritual energy.

Austin took one stride, and in the next moment, he stood before the altar.

He could sense that the altar was covered by the powerful spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was being emitted from those crystals.

Standing in front of the altar, Austin felt that he ran his vital energy more fluidly. Besides, he becrelaxed and comfortable as if he had consumed a top-grade elixir.

'What are these crystals? | am just standing before them, and | feel so good. What will happen if | absorb the energy from the crystals? Will | make a breakthrough and enter a higher realm?’ Austin thought, curious about the effect of the crystals.

There was one thing of which he was sure—these crystals were better than superior vital energy crystals.

Austin was about to step onto the altar.

All of a sudden, he bumped into something that forced him to step back.

Austin immediately activated his vital energy and steadied himself.

‘Looks like an energy shield protects the altar, ' he analyzed.

He walked around the altar and noticed that someone had arranged an array to prevent intruders from approaching it.

He could perceive that the array was old but unique. Since it had been created a long tago, its power had weakened.

Austin unleashed his spiritual sense and found that the energy cover had several weak spots. 'If | focus on attacking the weak spots, perhaps | can break this array, ' he thought.

He was ignorant about the altar, so he didn't know its value. But the dozens of crystals tempted him to break the array.

Without a second thought, he took out the Purple Vital Stone.

He released his vital energy to activate vital energy and attacked the weak spots of the array with it. "Bang!" The whole underground lobby started to shake, and the mud on the roof began to fall, bit by bit.

Regardless, Austin kept powering the Purple Vital Stone to hit against the weak spots of the array.

His efforts paid off.

Hours later, he had broken the array, and the energy shield fell apart.

Overjoyed, Austin sprinted forward, and in the blink of an eye, he stood before the altar. He reached out and intended to collect the valuable crystals.

However, just as Austin was about to touch the crystals, a dazzling energy column appeared and flowed toward him.

Caught off guard, Austin didn't have tto overcthe shock he was feeling. The light column collided with him, and Austin felt his head spin.
