The Supreme God of Martial Arts

When Austin and his companions arrived at the black mountain, streaks of lightning rained down from the sky.

Jagged bolts endlessly poured, filling the air with undying flashes of radiance.

The power it brought was too terrifying!

Each of them was as thick as a dragon, much larger than the mountains on the ground.

Thunder cried out from the blackened sky, the clouds invisible above.

Austin shuddered, as he shifted his gaze skyward. The booming thunder seamed to crack the air as if the very heavens might split

apart.

Along with his companions, Austin scanned the ground and noticed the countless scorched bodies lying everywhere.

There were even sspots that had heaps of corpses in them!

Sof them still had their skin and flesh intact, while sof them had long been rotten and were left with nothing but their

skeleton.

From afar, the mountain looked like an obsidian graveyard littered with dead bodies.

All of the corpses were burned black like charcoal.

They could easily tell that these people died due to the powerful lightning strikes.

To make sure that they stayed safe from these bolts, Austin decided to summon one of his skills. He pointed at the ground as he

recited a chant. In a matter of seconds, a tremendous amount of Earth Energy rose from the terrain.

Dozens of earth dragons previously tamed by Austin ascended out from the ground. They all soared in different directions.

Soon after, shadows of four legendary beasts—a green dragon, a white tiger, a vermilion bird and a black tortoise—appeared

above Austin's head.

It was the Four Beasts Geomancy Array.

Austin was able to set up a few arrays using his knowledge of Earth Exploring Technique, and the Four Beasts Geomancy Array was

one of them.

The shadows cast by these creatures protected Austin and his friends.

"Hurry up. Let's get out of here!"

Austin gestured for them to follow him.

During that time, the Geomancy Compass, the Layne's Ruler, and the Reincarnation Token were all emitting golden lights, floating

above to protect Austin and his companions.

After a while, they had safely escaped from the black mountain and its tumultuous weathers.

As soon as they got out, the lightning immediately disappeared.

"Those flashes of lightning scared the hell out of me," Magee commented.

The rest of them felt the same—they could still feel the adrenaline from getting away in the black mountain.

Without saying a word, Austin still had his eyes fixed on the mountain.

The Geomancy Compass floated in front of Austin, and the golden needle was still pointing at the stone coffin at the top of the

black mountain.

"This is the Thunder Mountain. | assthat the upper half of this black mountain disappeared due to the thunderbolts."

Austin broke his silence after staring at it long and hard.

"The Thunder Mountain?" Otis repeated, puzzled.

The other divine gods were just as confused.

"The Thunder Mountain is a natural land of death," Austin replied. Seeing that everyone was waiting for him to expound further, he

explained its nature further.

"The chaotic thunder stone, which is also known as the thunder-gathering stone is buried at the bottom of the Thunder Mountain.

This stone was born in the chaos. It could gather all kinds of thunder, and even produce it.

It is a very rare item.

I'm guessing that there must be plenty of chaotic thunder stones buried beneath the black mountain.

Therefore, once outsiders set foot in the black mountain, they would release energy unintentionally that disrupts the balance of the

energy on the black mountain. That incurs thunderbolts,"

Austin clarified.

"l see."

The divine gods nodded their heads in understanding.

"Austin, is that a part of the knowledge of Earth Exploring Technique?"

Tyrone asked out of curiosity.

"Yes. The Thunder Mountain is a very typical land of death identified by the Earth Exploring Technique.

It is one of the top ten lands of death.

Because thunder is one of the most powerful and destructive energy in the world,"

Austin answered.

"The Earth Exploring Technique is remarkable!

No wonder the Earth Masters during the ancient times were incredibly powerful.

It's a good thing | met you, Austin.

Otherwise, | would not have been able to reach here on my own,"

Bernie gratefully mentioned.

"Austin, the Thunder Mountain is such a dangerous place. Is it even possible for us to reach its summit?"

Ingram asked.

The rest of the group thought this was a good question. They all turned their heads and waited for his answer.

"I need a moment alone to work out a solution,"

Austin responded.

Then, he crossed his legs on the floor, and he pressed his fingers on the ground. He began to murmur unintelligible words.

The Geomancy Compass landed in front of Austin, emitting a bright golden light.

With Austin's swift hand movements, he gestured for the Geomancy Compass to take his vital energy.

The mysterious runes on the Geomancy Compass suddenly soared into the sky and floated mid-air. Like fish, they flowed gracefully

together like a well-rehearsed choreography.

In a few minutes, a bright yellow light poured out from the ground around Austin.

The light completely engulfed him.

The earth dragons also circled Austin.

"It seems that Austin is going to practice the Earth Exploring Technique again.

It's best if we leave him alone.

Let's have a rest first,"

Otis suggested.

So, he and the other divine gods found themselves a place nearby to rest.

A day passed. Then another.

Tseemed to pass slowly.

One day, a pair of massive eyeballs popped out above the Fallen Divine Valley.

"This young man is interesting."

The eyeballs stared at Austin who was sitting beside the Thunder Mountain.

"This human being is the best I've ever seen in my whole life. He is relatively young and yet, he is commendable in plenty of fields,

not to mention his amazing talent and comprehension ability.

Is he meant to be the one that my master wanted?

| hope he is.

It has been a long tsince my former master died.

So far, we haven't found a qualified person to take his place.

| really hope this young man is the ideal person my master was waiting for.

However, the possibility is very low.

My master was a strict person.

Even this young man may not meet his requirements,"

the huge eyeballs in the sky murmured.

No one in the Fallen Divine Valley heard it.

Not one creature knew that above the sky, there was a pair of huge eyeballs watching the Fallen Divine Valley.

Three months cand went.

Austin opened his eyes and stood up abruptly.

Upon seeing this, Otis and other divine gods were elated. They got up and hurried to surround him. "How did it go?

Have you figured out a solution for us to climb up that mountain?" Otis asked excitedly.

"Yep.

We can give it a shot.

| am going to set up an array to gather thunder.

Then we can go up the mountain again," Austin replied.

He waved his hand to summon the Earth Energy.

The yellow Earth Energy spurted from the ground nearby.

It continued to gather around Austin and finally condensed into yellow wooden stakes.

"Everyone, get behind me. These wooden stakes will prevent us from being hit by the thunder. Don't release any energy no matter

what happens!"

Austin said.
